"Reese Witherspoon is set to seduce her children's nanny - in a movie adaptation of hit novel The Manny.
The actress, who is currently divorcing Ryan Phillippe, has been lined up as the top choice to play a married career woman who falls for her children's
male nanny.
Author Holly Pearson told the Daily Express: "I'd love to see Reese in the part. The lead character Jamie Whitefield is very successful but she's very likeable too, and someone you can relate to. Reese has those qualities. What's more, she's just been through a marriage break-up and this makes her seem a little more vulnerable. As for the part of the hunky manny? He's got to be smoking hot. Just like Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise."
Blonde beauty Reese, 30, filed for divorce from Ryan in November. The pair first met at Reese's 21st birthday party and have two children - Ava, seven,
and Deacon, three.
Reese has always claimed she and Ryan chose not to hire a full-time nanny, despite their gruelling work schedules.
Reese said: "We weren't the kind of children that were shadowed. We didn't have nannies. We didn't have housekeepers. This whole Los Angeles culture is so foreign to me."
Not content to skewer New York society in The Devil Wears Prada and The Nanny Diaries, Hollywood sets its sights on the Manhattan elite once again with Holly Peterson's The Manny, a roman a clef set on the Upper East Side. Sony is in negotiations for film rights. The title character in question refers to a hunky male snowboarder hired by an overworked New Yorker to look after her kids. The attraction they feel for each other boils over when she discovers her husband's cheating ways. An exec who read it calls it a cross between Desperate Housewives and The Nanny Diaries. Peterson knows of which she speaks: she grew up and lives on the Upper East Side with her husband and three children. Her sister-in-law is Wendy Finerman, the producer of The Devil Wears Prada. Dial acquired The Manny from Inkwell Management's Kim Witherspoon in a reported two-book, $1-million deal. CAA's Brian Siberell handles film rights
I m very curious to her role,is it a interesting role?Is it likeable?I wonder...

I visited my aunt yesterday evening,I forgot
to insert the SD card to my digital camera
before it was borrowed to my aunt,so I had
to go there again while I went to my aunt's
house the day before. The dinner was end
at 9:oo pm and my mother ad I went house.
I missed Oscar!That's very depressing becoz
i might lose the chance of watching
Reese Witherspoon presenting the award o
r her interview!!!So when i got home,I turned
on the telly immediately and I found that the
award show was rather long...=.= I was
quite satisfied with the best movie <>!
it's a hugh honor becoz this movie was adapted
from a Hong Kong movie!Winning the best play
represented Hong Kong films are comparable to
international movies^V^.The best actress is Helen
who starring the queen in <>.I quite like
her,she is so elegant although she is very old,
she 's still attractive!I dislike the MC of the show,she's silly and bad joker.Poor.
closer look
At about eleven thirty ,Resse went to the
stage to present the best actor,OMG....
She 's gorgeous.She wore a "Nina Ricci"
gown which is a long purple dress,she didn't tie
up her hair,she just let her long straight hair set
down on her shoulder.Although her make up,outfit
all she looked was better than last year but her
smile was less.She looked somehow weary.She
had smile sometimes but those were quite fake,
she didn't want to fake herself i suppose but she
wanted to show some respect and politeness.May
be there re someone had left her alone that make
her smiles faded away,I know she's trying to be
strong but she didn't seem to hide her true feeling,
she 's not happy and she 's getting old,the make-up
couldn't even hide her wrinkles.That's a natural thing
nobody can stop,but we can make us happy,I hope
Reese to get away of her darkness,sadness as early
as possible and make more good films for us!
I watched the whole Oscar show and slept at 12:oo .
i had not done a lot of homeworks yet.
Today,the first two lessions ---cookery,I made the
pasty sucessfully .The pasty were crispy.And the
cake that made by my groupmates tasted not so
satisfied,it's rather hard .They need more prastice.
The third lession is IS lession which I haerd
the news that Phoebe' thumb was injured
when she was needling ,the needle was inserted
through her thumb,her wound bleeds a lot and
she had to see the doctor after.I hadn't finished
my Is WS but Mr.Cheng clecked our WS,so I lied
that I didn't bring it and he asked me "have u done it"
and I anwser "yes" of course and he said:I believe
in you" haha,that feel so good!
The recess was busy.I need to compose a
song which need to be handed on the 4th
lession and I need to picked up my tarts(the tarts baked overtime).
4,5,6th .......................bored,I almost falled sleep.
I didn't have enough sleep these days,I felt exhausted
and I conldn't concentrate in class,I suppose I need to sleep earlier tonight!
The last day of my holidayOh,I 'm very sad
because the New year holiday is going to
be end but I haven't done all my homework
