Reese Witherspoon took a walk this past weekend (along with 3,500 others) and helped raise $8.1 million to fight breast cancer.

According to the celebrity web site JustJared, here’s what Reese Witherspoon had to say at the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in Washington, D.C.

On how her kids Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4, deal with fame: “[They have] always kind of known me to be who I was, and if people know mom at the grocery store, I think they kind of like it. Obviously, if you’re not having the greatest day, it’s not always easy, but for the most part, [fame] brings a lot of positive things into our life.”

On her daughter Ava: “She has a very giving spirit, so it’s great to encourage that. There’s a great responsibility to educate your children and show them what’s important in life, which includes giving back.”

On why she participated in the Avon breast-cancer event: “I feel a great responsibility in my own life to give back to society. As the honorary chairman of the Avon Foundation, one of my first experiences last year was to meet Avon Walk walkers at a training walk in Los Angeles. Now I am proud to support the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer here in Washington, D.C., and hope my presence can in some measure express my deep appreciation for all the women and men who participate in the Avon Walks and for all of the people who dedicate their lives to breast-cancer research and care.”

OK, how much do we love Reese Witherspoon? Plus, is pink her color or what?

Not your usual Ashton Kutcher

IN the romantic comedy What Happens in Vegas, Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz get lucky in Las Vegas, but rapidly discover that neither luck nor animal attraction is enough to make a marriage work. Marriage, in fact, is not what Kutcher’s charismatic Jack Fuller has in mind at all when he heads to Sin City with his buddy “Hater” (Rob Corddry).

Emile Hirsch’s need for speed

Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild, Alpha Dog) was six years old when he saw his first episode of the cartoon series Speed Racer and, more important, caught a glimpse of the Mach 5. “It was one of the coolest things I’d ever seen,” Hirsch says. “That’s when I started thinking it would be great to be on TV. And have one of those.”

Bad news for Amy Winehouse is good news for James Bond

THE news this weekend that Amy Winehouse would not, in all likelihood, be recording the theme song for the upcoming James Bond film was disappointing in that it again turned the focus away from the British singer’s music and onto her personal life.
