Ryan Phillippe Doesn't Get Our Obsession

Ryan Phillippe, W Magazine Tierney Gearon for W Magazine

Ryan Phillippe thinks he understands our interest in his 2006 breakup with Reese Witherspoon. At least, that's what he says in the new issue of W

"People want answers," he says of his divorce. "But I think sometimes they wouldn’t be happy with what the answers would be." The split, he goes on to say, was “as typical as any relationship that doesn’t work. It’s far more complicated and far less interesting than it’s made out to be."

Oh, Ryan, you underestimate our fascination with the mundane details of celebrity living. If you got divorced for not taking out the trash, we wanna know about it.

Plus, your reluctance to go into detail makes us question your defense of the so-called other woman, Abbie Cornish

It was unfair for her to be called the names that she was, because it wasn’t about that. I don’t think an outside person can ever cause a divorce. I had difficulties in my relationship, and in my marriage, long before I ever met her.

See, that wasn't too tough to explain, was it?

So, how about telling us whether the two of you are currently dating?

She and I are close friends, and as far as if there is any future, that is not where we are at now...That is what other people like to say or like to assume. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a friendship, and we are getting to know each other in a really difficult situation.

We're going to take that as a yes. Unless you wanna call and tell us otherwise?
