Reese Witherspoon has bought Steven Segal’s former house for $7 million

The Oscar-winning actress is moving out of the marital home she shared with her ex-husband Ryan Phillippe - who she split from in 2007 and with whom she has two children, daughter Ava, 11, and seven-year-old son Deacon – and is heading to the lavish Los Angeles property which belonged to the action star.

The property is located in a gated community in the Brentwood area of the city and boasts seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms and a swimming pool.

The 6,125 sq ft home is located on acres of plush land and also comes complete with its own Buddhist temple – which ‘Under Siege’ actor Segal, a committed Buddhist, used for meditation.

Reese’s new neighbours include a host of famous names, such as talk show host Chelsea Handler, actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gisele Bundchen and her husband Tom Brady.

It looks like Heidi Klum and her husband Seal are set to become new residents as well.

The couple reportedly had an offer accepted for a property located in the same Brentwood Country Estates gated community in Mandeville Canyon worth $13.4 million.

The house boasts eight bedrooms, a kitchen complete with a fireplace dating back to 1603 which was imported from Scotland and a library fireplace which is allegedly from late military leader Napoleon’s farmhouse in France.

Jennifer Aniston hosted a Mexican-themed Thanksgiving bash for 15 friends

The 41-year-old actress is said to have flown a group of close pals out on two private jets to her lavish estate in the Mexican resort of Cabo San Lucas, where they spent the holiday (25.11.10) “eating, drinking and relaxing”.

While the ‘Bounty Hunter’ star indulged in plenty of food and drink during the break, she also made sure she worked out every day.

An onlooker told People magazine: “Jennifer spent the trip enjoying herself with her friends – relaxing, drinking and eating. But she also worked out every day, including yoga sessions with Mandy Ingber.

“She looked amazingly fit and seemed to have a great time just relaxing and hanging out with her friends.”

The star’s yoga coach Mandy – as well as her manager Aleen Keshishian and chat show host Chelsea Handler – were reportedly just some of the guests flown out to Mexico for the bash, where they enjoyed a Thanksgiving meal that included chips, salsas and margaritas.

Despite being known for her strict diet and exercise regime, Jennifer recently admitted she is a big fan of Mexican cuisine.

When quizzed on what she would have for her last meal, she said: “It’d be chips and guacamole, quesadillas, enchiladas and a big tostada salad – and nachos!”

Gwyneth Paltrow found gaining weight for a recent movie role “a nightmare”

The Oscar-winning actress – who had to gain 20 pounds for new film ‘Country Strong’ – admitted she “panicked” when she became aware that she wouldn’t be able to stick to her strict diet and exercise regime.

She explained: “The nightmare thing about it is I had to stop working out. At first I panicked so I would work out a little bit and then I had to lie and be like, ‘No I didn’t work out’. I’d be on the treadmill and be like, ‘I really have to stop this’.

“My body didn’t really fall apart until right after we finished the movie and now I’m having problems.”

However, the 38-year-old star – who is married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin – confessed she enjoyed being able to drink more for the role, as she is “a lush”.

She told talk show host Chelsea Handler on ‘Chelsea’s Big Interview Special’: “I drink a lot. I like red wine, but I’ll drink white, rose. Guinness is my favourite beer, I like a dirty vodka martini. I’m just a lush, basically.”
