Ryan Phillippe filed a legal response earlier this week to estranged wife Reese Witherspoon's divorce claim. In documents submitted on Tuesday, Phillippe is seeking joint custody of the former couple's two children, and cites irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. The Flags of Our Fathers actor is not asking for spousal support and asks that child visitation be "equally allocated." Witherspoon filed for divorce last November.

Reese Witherspoon's production company is developing a film based on the book Under the Bridge, a true-crime story about a high school murder. This should ring some bells for Canadian readers - the story chronicles the 1997 murder of Reena Virk in Victoria, BC, and the eight high school students who were charged in the case. Type A Films, Witherspoon's company, has bought both film rights and life rights to the author's story, with the possibility of the author herself becoming a character in the film.
Friends say that though Reese Witherspoon's new relationship with and hottie Jake Gyllenhaal was unexpected, it's the real thing. After meeting on the set of Rendition, the couple's "little flirtation" just took its course. "Things slowly progressed, but it was never something she thought would happen from the start," says a source close to both stars. "She just kind of developed this little crush over time." At a dinner at Hollywood's Il Sole a few weeks ago, "there was definitely some canoodling going on!" said an onlooker. The new couple also tooled around NYC together, sharing a quiet dinner at La Ripaille, an eatery near Gyllenhaal's Manhattan apartment. Of Witherspoon's two children with former husband Ryan Phillippe, a source says, "Jake finds it attractive that she's such a great mom. He really loves kids and wants a family." A friend of the Zodiac star admits, "They're super together - this thing is for real."
Reese Witherspoon's rumored new guy is none other than Zodiac hottie Jake Gyllenhaal. After getting to know each other on the set of Rendition, the pair have recently taken their friendship to the next level. "In the last month, they've been spending a lot more time together," says a source close to Gyllenhaal. "Jake really likes her and isn't at all concerned that she has two kids." Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal were spotted looking cozy on March 23 at Hollywood's Il Sole restaurant. "They were cuddling," said a fellow diner. "It looked very playful." A week later, Witherspoon was seen picking up takeout at The Clay Pit while Gyllenhaal waited in the car. "When she came back out to the car, he got out and opened the door for her and was shielding his face so no one would see him," said an observer. The new couple are definitely taking things slow, according to a source close to Witherspoon. "[Reese] is still very, very hurt by Ryan and it will take a long time to get over that," says the source. "[But she and Jake] have a mutual interest. they are taking it slow and getting to know each other."
