Reese Witherspoon and Kate Winslet Get Hammered

Or so Reese Witherspoon said at the BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards last night, when presenting the British Artist of the Year award to Kate Winslet.

As you can see, she’s very happy to tell us this, as reported in The Dish Rag.

“I always wanted to be a European movie star, wear giant sunglasses, elaborate neck scarves, smoke hand-rolled cigarettes, and have savoir faire and gravitas,” Reese admitted onstage… “Imagine my good fortune when Kate Winslet moved into my neighborhood, rang my door bell and said, (insert British accent here) ‘Dahling, Sam is off shooting, and I believe our children are the same age. Could they possibly have a play date and oh, by the way, it’s almost 9 o’clock and I’ve had nothing to do drink, do you have any wine?’”

In her introduction of the evening’s artist of the year winner, Reese couldn’t tell any funny personal stories because “they’re all too bawdy or tawdry or drunken to tell.”
