I really like all of the discussion about how Reese Witherspoon can attempt to ?come back? from her arrest and image crisis disaster. LaineyGossip suggested that Reese would be smart to give People Magazine a series of exclusives to reinforce her ?down-home church-going soccer mom? image, and I?m sure those are coming. I think Reese?s damage control has already begun as soon as a ?source? told People (on Monday afternoon) that Jim Toth might end up in rehab. But what?s missing from the discussion is a first-hand account (not just the police report) of just HOW drunk and rednecky Reese was during her debauched Georgia night. Thankfully, People Magazine is also accepting stories from the Atlanta police:
It’s certainly not from a red carpet. Still, Reese Witherspoon’s booking photo with her eyes cast down has to be among the more unusual celebrity mugshots.
“She was wobbly,” explains a police source within the Atlanta Department of Corrections. “She didn’t need help walking, but she wasn’t at a point where we could get a really clear picture.”
The actress and husband Jim Toth were arrested early Friday morning after he was pulled over under suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Atlanta. In her apology for her behavior, she said she “clearly had one drink too many.”
According to the source, police took more than one photograph and chose the best one.
“On another picture, she sort of bent down at the waist and we got the top of her head,” says the source. “She wasn’t being difficult or rude, but her motor skills weren’t what they needed to be.”
The unorthodox picture has the Atlanta police and legal communities talking ? and wondering if Witherspoon got preferential treatment.
“You can’t look down in the photograph,” says Atlanta criminal defense attorney Peter Odom. “The whole point of a mugshot is for identification purposes. To my knowledge, there is no exception to this rule. When someone is in custody, there isn’t a lot of personal space. They will grab your head and move it into the right position to get the right mugshot. But in this case, protocol was definitely not followed.”
The charges against Witherspoon were minor, says the source, so there was no need to force the issue and make the star stare dead ahead.
“This isn’t a big case and there’s not much more investigation that has to be done,” says the source, “so getting a clear picture of the suspect looking at the camera wasn’t absolutely necessary.”

Am I the only one who finds this kind of story fascinating? Like, Reese is drunkenly slurring out ?Do you know who I am?!? and she?s so wasted she can?t even stand up for her mugshot? But I also agree that this isn?t a situation where she got ?preferential treatment?. It?s not like she killed someone (although her husband could have). She was just a drunk, mouthy redneck. It?s not a capital crime. That being said, TMZ got their hands on Reese-in-handcuffs at the police station, and I can?t say that she seemed super-blitzed in this

I have a real question for all of you: is it possible this Reese Witherspoon situation is ripe for a conspiracy theory? So many of us love a good conspiracy theory, and it seems like we should at least briefly entertain the possibility that Reese?s drunk-redneck-bitch act is just that: an act. But for what purpose, to what end? Could it be that ?America?s Sweetheart? Reese wants to dirty up her image so that she?ll be in contention for different kinds of roles? She can?t just play an endless stream of ditzy blondes in romantic comedies, you know. So maybe she?s trying to dirty up her image. I?m not saying I believe that or anything, but it?s as legitimate a theory as some of the Twihard stuff, you know? Anyway, I was just thinking about that while I read this story of how Reese spent the days post-arrest: by hanging out with Chelsea Handler and Cameron Diaz, best known as The Drunk Bitches.
Reese Witherspoon needs her friends’ support more than ever. Two days after the actress was arrested for disorderly conduct in Atlanta, the Academy Award winner and her husband Jim Toth joined their A-list pals for drinks at New York City’s Greenwich Hotel Apr. 21. (Toth was also arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated; he took a field sobriety test and blew a .139, more than 17 times the legal limit.)
After briefly attending the Cinema Society screening of Mud (where she declined interviews), Witherspoon, 37, and Toth, 42, met up with Chelsea Handler, Cameron Diaz, Michael Keaton, Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann at the Greenwich Hotel, a source tells Us Weekly exclusively. “Nobody was drunk — it was pretty tame,” a source says of the group, who sipped on San Pellegrino instead. “They all seemed really happy. There was no indication that there was anything wrong.”
Witherspoon and Toth “were cuddling” and looked “cute,” the source adds.
Later that evening, Witherspoon (via her rep) apologized for her behavior in Atlanta. “Out of respect for the ongoing legal situation, I cannot comment on everything that is being reported right now. But I do want to say, I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said,” she told Us Weekly in a statement. “It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that is no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. The words I used that night definitely do not reflect who I am. I have nothing but respect for the police and I’m very sorry for my behavior.”

Yes, because if Cameron Diaz and Chelsea Handler are known for anything, it?s contemplative, quiet sobriety. I?m surprised some ?eyewitness? didn?t notice that some members of the party kept sneaking off to the lady?s room and came out sniffling. I?m just saying, if Reese was truly upset by her newly banged-up ?drunk redneck? image, she really shouldn?t be hanging out with Camy and Jennifer Aniston?s drunk attack dog. That?s not very sweetheart-y. But maybe that?s the point? See? Conspiracy theory.
Meanwhile, People Magazine got an ?exclusive? from some unnamed source close to Reese?s husband Jim Toth. According to the source (who is probably just Toth), he “feels awful that he involved Reese in the situation? He made a bad decision and it certainly made things worse that he dragged her into it.” Jim apparently ?gets? that he has to ?pay the consequences?. His job as a CAA agent is being blamed for his sloppy-drunk ways, with the source claiming: ?Jim has always been a big social drinker. A lot of his job is being social. He’s out to lunch or dinner almost every day of the week, schmoozing clients and taking business meetings. [The arrest is] just going to make the two of them stop and pause, and think about maybe how much Jim’s drinking plays a role in their lives ? if it does or not.? Another source says that if Jim ends up going to rehab, ?no one would be surprised.? That is interesting.

Ooooh, scandal!! I love it. Reese Witherspoon, your judgy Southern BFF, got arrested!!!! Reese has been in Atlanta, Georgia this month, working on her new film The Good Lie. This is why she?s brunette, by the way ? she dyed her hair for the film. Anyway, it seems that Reese brought her family down to Georgia while she?s working. And on Thursday night, Reese and her husband Jim Toth went out drinkin?. And Jim tried to drive them home and he got pulled over under suspicion of a DUI. But Reese was also arrested for disorderly conduct and you can see her mugshot here. Wait until you hear WHY!!
Reese Witherspoon and her husband, CAA agent James Toth, were arrested and briefly jailed early Friday morning in Atlanta, Ga., after he was pulled over under suspicion of driving while intoxicated, confirmed an official at the city?s Dept. of Corrections.
While Toth is facing a DUI charge after driving in the wrong lane, Witherspoon was also arrested on a disorderly conduct charge according to a police report obtained by Variety. She was handcuffed after disobeying repeated instruction from the arresting officer, with whom she verbally sparred, to stay inside the vehicle.
The couple was released on bond at approximately 3:30 a.m. ET on Friday. CAA, which employs Toth and represents Witherspoon, and her publicist, Meredith O?Sullivan Wasson, declined comment.
A court appearance is scheduled for Monday at 8 a.m. in Atlanta Municipal Court, but Witherspoon and Toth aren?t expected to appear, according to sources. Their attorney is expected to request that court date be postponed. Witherspoon, 37, was with Toth, 42, in Atlanta shooting indie drama ?The Good Lie.? Production on the film was not interrupted by the arrests, according to sources.
Witherspoon has been married to Toth since March 2011. The couple had a son, Tennessee James Toth, last September.
Toth was pulled over after midnight Friday driving a silver 2013 Ford Focus, which the officer witnessed weaving across a double line on Atlanta?s Peachtree St. Toth appeared disheveled and his breath smelled of alcohol, according to the police report, prompting the officer to administer a sobriety test. As Toth walked in the Walgreens parking lot where the officer instructed him to pull over to, Witherspoon became increasingly agitated from the vehicle, which prompted the officer to warn her to stay in the car for the sake of her own safety.
?Mrs. Witherspoon began to hang out the window and say that she did not believe that I was a real police officer,? according to the police report. ?I told Mrs. Witherspoon to sit on her butt and be quiet.?
Once Toth was placed under arrest, Witherspoon exited the vehicle and was instructed to get back in the car. According to the report, she ?stated that she was a ?US citizen? and that she was allowed to ?stand on American ground.??
The officer then detailed how she resisted as he grabbed her arms to arrest as Toth attempted to calm her down.
As the report details, ?Mrs. Witherspoon asked, ?Do you know my name?? I answered, ?No, I don?t need to know your name.? I then added, ?right now.? Mrs. Witherspoon stated, ?You?re about to find out who I am.?
The report also specified, ?Mrs. Witherspoon also stated, ?You are going to be on national news.? I advised Mrs. Witherspoon that was fine.?
Though he told an officer he had only a single drink hours earlier, Toth blew a .139 on a Breathalyzer test administered at the scene. He also is facing a second charge for failure to maintain a lane while driving.
Witherspoon?s alleged violation, which is specified on the police report as ?disorderly conduct (obstruction),? is a local municipal ordinance.
[From Variety]
Dude! A blood alcohol level of .139 is INTENSE. There?s no way Jim only had ONE drink unless that drink was a Moonshine Big Gulp. And how funny/awful is it that Reese pulled the ?don?t you know who I am?? card? I LOVE IT. Drunk Southern bitch. God bless us, everyone!! Obviously, drinking and driving is awful and Jim Toth should be ashamed of himself and there is no excuse for not hiring a car and driver or just calling a cab. But aside from the DUI stuff, I just love that Reese is a trash-talking drunk bitch at heart. She always tries to come across as SO classy and now this! Apparently, when she was arrested, the cop totally handcuffed her. Anyway, they were realized on bond just a few hours later and they?re due in court today.
Reese did release a statement late Sunday, and she attended last night’s premiere of Mud (photos below). Her statement: “Out of respect for the ongoing legal situation, I cannot comment on everything that is being reported right now. But I do want to say I clearly had one drink too many and I am deeply embarrassed about the things I said. It was definitely a scary situation and I was frightened for my husband, but that was no excuse. I was disrespectful to the officer who was just doing his job. I have nothing but respect for the police and I am very sorry for my behavior.” Yeah.

Getting down to work on her new project, Reese Witherspoon showed up on the set of ?The Good Lie? in Atlanta, Georgia yesterday (April 11).
The ?Sweet Home Alabama? babe was cute in a turquoise top and grey skirt with brown boots as she made her way around the lot in between takes.
And it seems Reese has quite a singing voice, as her Michael Buble duet ?Something Stupid? hit the internet earlier this week.
Of the decision to work with Witherspoon, Buble explained, "We loved 'Walk the Line' and her voice was so smooth and wonderful...So my manager said 'Call her.??

Appearing in a great mood for the pesky paparazzi, Reese Witherspoon headed to a meeting in Hollywood on Tuesday (March 12).
The "Legally Blonde" star looked great in a black sleeveless top, matching skinnies, and pointy heels as she made her way inside.
Though it may be back to work for the busy mother-of-three, on Saturday, the 36-year-old actress enjoyed a birthday party with her brood.

Headed out for an afternoon of fun, Reese Witherspoon and her family attended a birthday party in Brentwood, CA on Saturday (March 9).
Looking bright for spring, the "Sweet Home Alabama" actress dressed casually beautiful in skinny jeans, leopard-print flats, and a Pink sweater as she strolled with her mother Mary and children Ava and Tennessee.
The weekend outing comes just after Reese returned from a Mexican getaway with her girlfriends Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, the trio of Hollywood hotties all showed off their bikini bods as they hit the beach in Tulum, Mexico last week.

Controversial opinion: Reese Witherspoon was one of my picks for best dressed of the Oscars. Is that controversial? I think I liked her look so much because she?s Southern and I?m Southern and I appreciate that Reese makes it a (Southern) priority to have a complete look from head to toe, and she prioritizes looking ?pulled together?. While her Louis Vuitton dress wasn?t the most amazing thing on the red carpet, she worked the hell out of it, the fit was incredible, and she was one of the few ladies wearing a really strong, bold blue. More blue on red carpets!!! I loved her hairstyle too ? classic, chic and ?done?. Her hair and makeup complimented the dress perfectly. This is a lesson she should have given Jennifer Aniston ? how to look awesome at the Oscars while still looking ?real?. Reese really was one of my faves!
And yes, Channing Tatum was another one of my favorites. I can?t help it, y?all. It?s a Southern thing. I love some Charming Potato. I like that after the amazing year he had, he got invited to the Oscars. I like that he didn?t consider it beneath him to dance with Charlize Theron in the opening. I like that he seemed really engaged with his wife Jenna Dewan too. Yes, he?s doing the belly-rubbing thing, but it?s cute. It?s his first child! He?s allowed. I don?t know who made Jenna?s dress.

Laughing with her main man, Reese left Bouchon Bistro in Beverly Hills in a chic all-black outfit as she waited for the valet with her happy hubby.
