While Sony and Lionsgate fight a bidding war for the rights to the “Terminator” franchise, “Terminator Salvation” director McG is looking for his next movie in lieu of not going on to helm the series’ fifth installment. Though he’s still linked to the Broadway musical adaptation “Spring Awakening,” according to Variety he has also been in talks to helm a “priority project” for Fox titled “This Means War.”

The comedy already has two stars in place, Bradley Cooper and Reese Witherspoon. It is expected to begin shooting this spring, which would make it the director’s next movie, rather than the musical.
The screenplay for “This Means War” has reportedly been rewritten so many times that it’s difficult to say who the author is anymore, but the most recent draft is by “Role Models” scribe Timothy Dowling (who interestingly enough acted in a “Terminator” movie — the third one).

The plot sounds very “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” yet in “This Means War” the spies who turn on each other are best friends rather than husband and wife. It’s that classic story of a woman coming between two guys and ruining their friendship. Or, can I please, please presume that Witherspoon is one of the friends, not the object of affection for two men?

That would be a bold twist that Fox likely wouldn’t explore. Too “Being John Malkovich,” not enough “There’s Something About Mary” or “Feeling Minnesota” (all these films star Cameron Diaz, coincidentally). Of course, the Hollywood ending would probably cop out and suppress the lesbianism aspect by having Cooper and Witherspoon’s spy buddies make up, make out and fall in love with each other. Probably because that dream woman (cast Diaz!) turns out to be a bad guy or something.

Whatever the case, if McG is on board, I’m still looking forward to this. I’m one of the few people not embarrassed to say I like both “Charlie’s Angels” movies and really enjoyed the director’s “Terminator” sequel and ideas for continuing the series. I could definitely see him doing something fun along the lines of the “Charlie’s” movies combined with “Mr. and Mrs. Smith.”

I also urge all McG haters out there to watch the director in the FunnyOrDie video where he’s directing Rachel Bilson in a sex scene for a fake film called “Hearts of Palm.” Hilarious and disturbing.

Hollywood stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon are still very much a couple, their representatives have confirmed.

The statement comes in the wake of reports to the contrary that emerged over the weekend.

A source close to the Oscar-winning actress told People that Reese and Jake had split, although no further details were given.

“It’s not true,” said reps Nanci Ryder – who works for Reese – and Carrie Byalick. “They are still together.”

The couple, who are known for keeping their private life out of the public eye, were first romantically linked after starring in the 2007 film Rendition.

Speaking about her boyfriend last year, the mum-of-two said: “He’s very supportive. Suffice to say I’m very happy in life and I’m very lucky to have a lot of really supportive people around me who care very much for me….”

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have called it quits, a source confirms to JustJared.com.

Reese, 33, and Jake, 28, have been a couple since starring together in the 2007 drama thriller Rendition.

Reese was singing the praises of Jake as late as last month in the November issue of InStyle: “We spend the weekends outside L.A, in Ojai, where I have a farmhouse. We have chickens and we grow cucumbers and tomatoes. I love it. It reminds me of where I grew up in Tennessee.”

She has it all – a successful Hollywood career, famous boyfriend and beautiful kids – but when it comes down to it, Reese Witherspoon says she thinks of herself as a single mom making it through the day.

“It isn’t anything I chose in life, it just sort of happened that way,” the Walk the Line Oscar winner, 33, told PEOPLE at Tuesday’s Avon Foundation for Women charity event at New York’s Cipriani 42nd Street, where she was the honorary co-chair. “We all just do the best we can. We’re all just people trying to get through life however we can … I’m thrilled to be any sort of inspiration to anyone!”

Most inspiring is that the foundation she works with raises millions for women with breast cancer and victims of domestic violence.

Witherspoon, who has moved on from former husband Ryan Phillippe to a supportive boyfriend in Jake Gyllenhaal, also spoke about the new Avon fragrance she has launched, In Bloom.

“I just wanted a scent memory of my childhood in Tennessee growing up,” she says. “A lot of it is white flowers and gardenias and things that I grew up in the backyard loving. Things that I smelled on my mother and my grandmother that really inspired a feeling of being back home.”

People’s annual list was revealed Wednesday, giving kudos to the ladies who know how to take the best of fashion and consistently spin it to fit their style.

Petite actress Reese Witherspoon made the list for “best short dresses,” like the green and silver Rodarte the 5-foot-2 star wore to the March premiere of “Monsters vs. Aliens.”

“I love that they included Reese Witherspoon in the Rodarte dress, because that was a big moment for Reese,” Gardner said. “Reese always looks great, but she’s never really stepped outside of classic dresses. Rodarte are the darlings of the fashion world; it’s directional fashion, and it’s a big deal for a celebrity like Reese to pick something like that.”
