Here are some new photos of Reese Witherspoon at LAX yesterday. According to TMZ, she was catching a flight back to Atlanta. Which is weird because during the media flurry last week, someone said that Reese had finished filming her small, independent film in Georgia. Maybe there are some quick reshoots? Or maybe she’s going back to Atlanta to meet with a lawyer in town and figure out a quick way to resolve her disorderly conduct charge. Is that the kind of thing where you can immediately work out some kind of plea deal? What would it entail? A fine and some community service?

Anyway, I don’t have much to say about her right now because there aren’t many stories about her at this point. I was surprised by the lack of Reese stories in last week’s tabloids – some of the lower tier tabloids had stories about her, of course, but she didn’t make any of the covers. Maybe she’s negotiating a People Magazine cover for this week, though? That might be smart. Or maybe she’ll take a different strategy: keep her head down for a month, then revisit the controversy with one big interview (to People, maybe) and a new look or something. I don’t know.

I actually don’t have strong feelings about what her media strategy should be at this point. My guess is that she’s going to talk about it sooner rather than later. Look at this outfit – matchy-matchy hot pink scarf and flats? An accessible mom-tote? Yes. Reese wants you to love her again. She is one of you! She’s just a mom! A mom who had a little too much to drink. She only played the “Do you know who I am?” card because she was so concerned for her poor husband!!

Update: Thanks to Leah for pointing out that Reese isn’t wearing her wedding ring! Well, it looks like Jim Toth is really going to take the fall for everything, right? I’m expecting his announcement that he’s entering rehab momentarily.
