Poor Reese Witherspoon. She masochistically Googles herself when she's feeling low, and she doesn't even find solace in all the pretty pictures of her out there.

"I literally think I look bad in every picture," she confided on Chelsea Lately tonight, enjoying a reunion of sorts with her This Means War costar, Chelsea Handler.

"I don't know, who feels good looking at themselves?" the Oscar winner wondered, acknowledging thatalso  she hates watching herself on film. "Nobody, right? It's torture. Why would you want to watch yourself being stupid and pretending to be somebody else?"

Hmm, maybe that should have been the tag line for How Do You Know: "Watch Reese, Paul and Owen be stupid other people!"

In the rom-com, Reese plays a pro softball player.

"And you're not a lesbian?" Chelsea asked, just to clear that up.

"No—not in the movie," Reese fired back.

More girl talk ensued about tipsy plane rides with their director McG ("he's a hot mess," Chelsea declared), Christmas plans ("spending time with my kids," Reese said) and the barn Reese is building to hold all her animals.

"I really do have animal friends," she said, namechecking her pigs, Booker T. Washington and Lavender Valentine, goats George and Martha Washington and, of course, her donkeys, Honky and Tonky.

"I wanted to call them Honky Tonk and Badonkadonk," Reese recalled, "but the kids weren't so into it. They didn't know what 'badonkadonk' meant. So apparently I am doing some good parenting."
