There are some major perks of having famous parents – just ask Ava Phillippe.

The 10-year-old, whose parents are Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, got what countless Twi-Hards can only hope for: A chance to meet Robert Pattinson.

Witherspoon, 34, who’s working with the Twilight heartthrob on Water for Elephants, introduced her daughter to Pattinson, 24, Thursday on the movie’s Piru, Calif., set.

“Ava seemed especially excited to meet him,” an onlooker tells PEOPLE, who also notes that younger brother Deacon, 6, chatted with the British actor.

“The filming with Rob is going really well,” adds an on-set source “and Reese was excited for the kids to meet him.”

But Witherspoon isn’t the only cool mom in Hollywood. Teri Hatcher recently helped her daughter meet another star who causes commotion wherever he goes – Justin Bieber.

Last we heard about Paul Thomas Anderson’s next film, The Master it had a few financing troubles and The Hurt Locker star Jeremy Renner may not actually be in it. The new issue of Production Weekly (via The Playlist) can put us to ease. They say that production is set to go ahead in June, which could only mean a week away.

While I’m surprised it could start that soon, it looks like casting is moving along. As we already know, Anderson fav Philip Seymour Hoffman has the lead role and Jeremy Renner is indeed in. They also report that Reese Witherspoon has been offered to join the production.

The Playlist speculates she could play “one of the the Master’s daughters who acts as his caretakers and vigilant lieutenants (possibly the one named Mary-Sue).” The film is “very loosely based on the life and times of L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology.” Renner would play his right hand man, a young drifter.

Paul Thomas Anderson hasn’t made a bad film yet and this cast is shaping up quite nicely. If Witherspoon decides to join it will mark her first serious role in quite some time and I’d be glad to see her do it.

Canadian indie producers Brightlight Pictures and Rhombus Media have joined up with Reese Witherspoon’s Type A Films to develop “Under the Bridge,” a true-crime feature about the 1997 murder of a 14-year-old Canadian high school student.

Witherspoon in 2007 initially optioned Rebecca Godfrey’s book about the gruesome murder of Reena Virk by eight fellow students under a small bridge in Saanich, B.C.

Virk’s death, and the subsequent trial and convictions of her slayers, provoked a national debate among Canadians over high school bullying and violence.

Vancouver-based Brightlight and Toronto-based Rhombus will partner with Type A Films to develop “Under the Bridge.”

Shawn Williamson and Stephen Hegyes will produce for Brightlight, Niv Fichman for Rhombus and Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Simpson will produce for Type A Films.

No word on creative elements and casting.

Brightlight and Rhombus most recently co-produced “Gunless,” a comic western starring Paul Gross and Sienna Guillory, and directed by William Philips, set for theatrical release here on April 30 by Alliance Films.

Exclusive: Could Tom Cruise and Reese Witherspoon be saddling up for a ride together?

Word in the development community has the A-listers eying the lead roles in “Paper Wings,” a love story set in the world of rodeo that’s being developed at Sony. Cruise would take the role of a rodeo champ who falls for an up-and-coming country singer, played by Witherspoon.

The actress has taken several rides into country-and-western territory, of course, with her Oscar-winning turn as June Carter Cash in “Walk the Line” and, most recently, signing on for Sony’s “The Pioneer Woman,” the story of a woman who falls in love with a cowboy while on a cross-country road trip and winds up living on an Oklahoma ranch. Cruise, as far as we know, has never played a cowboy.

The project has been around for some time — it was set up at New Line before it came to Sony — but the Cruise and Witherspoon interest could turn it into an arm jerker (yes, we had to look that one up).

Will Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment is producing the project, which has led producers to talk to Gabriele Muccino about directing; the Italian film maker and Smith favorite also directed Overbrook’s underrated drama “Seven Pounds” and Oscar nominee “The Pursuit of Happyness.” Several other directors are also in the mix.

Rodeo-set stories haven’t exactly been hugely popular in Hollywood — one of the most well-known is 1994′s “8 Seconds,” which starred Luke Perry and Stephen Baldwin, which tells you something. But with “Crazy Heart’s” breakout success, unlikely love stories set in the country-and-western world now seem to be in vogue. Or are, um, chasing the cans.

What an exciting day. For many, many moons now, there’s been this curious IMDb entry for “Untitled James L. Brooks Comedy.” There’s quite a bit known about it, actually. The movie stars Reese Witherspoon, a professional softball player and two-time Olympian, who is caught in a love triangle between a white collar corporate executive (Paul Rudd) and a professional baseball pitcher (Owen Wilson). Jack Nicholson is also in there, as the father of Rudd’s character.

Witherspoon told MTV in early November that the movie had just wrapped, though it still didn’t have a title. Now it does, along with a release date and a few new details.

The New York Times reports (via The Playlist) that the Brooks-directed comedy/drama, now called “How Do You Know,” will hit theaters on December 17. I have to say, the secrecy surrounding this project is pretty remarkable; Brooks, known best as executive producer of “The Simpsons,” has a ton of street cred on his own. Add the star-studded cast into the mix, and you’d think this is something Columbia would be shouting to the heavens about.

All of the info that the NY Times dug up comes from an anonymous source, since Brooks and his fellow producers are still wary about discussing specifics about the movie. The idea was apparently born roughly five years ago, when Brooks decided he wanted to tell a story about a female athlete.

Witherspoon plays Lisa Jorgenson, a 27-year-old woman who is “just past her sporting prime.” Rudd’s and Nicholson’s characters were born out of Brooks’ interest in the world of corporate executives while Wilson’s character is there “to complicate Lisa’s love life.” While it had been previously believed that baseball would be a heavy focus for the story, it seems that it will factor in mostly as background. The story grows out of “an encounter between two people who meet on the worst night of their respective lives” and is about “people trying to figure out exactly what, for each of them, matters most.”

So there you have it. We’ve gone from knowing virtually nothing to having a title, a release date and a rough synopsis. Call me crazy, but “Untitled James L. Brooks Comedy” is starting to look an awful lot like a real movie!

Columbia Pictures has made a deal to develop The Pioneer Woman, a romantic comedy that’s being shaped as a potential star vehicle for Reese Witherspoon. The studio has acquired rights to thepioneerwoman.com, a blog by Ree Drummond that details how a detour on a trip from L.A. to Chicago led her to Oklahoma. There, she met the cowboy of her dreams and transformed from spoiled city girl to domestic ranch wife.

Laura Ziskin and Pam Williams will produce. Drummond wrote a bestselling cookbook, and has turned her homespun tales into Black Heels to Tractor Wheels, a book that will be published by William Morrow next Valentine’s Day.

Drummond has a large following for a blog she writes from the cattle ranch that covers everything from cooking to tips on home schooling. The film will explore the fantasy of trading big city living for a wholesome simpler life. Rights to the book are part of the deal brokered by UTA and LJK Literary Management.
