And while a source tells PEOPLE Witherspoon wasn’t referring to Winslet, here are the clues that led many to that conclusion. While promoting her new movie You’re Cordially Invited, Witherspoon recalled how another actress once asked her for a favor.
“So this friend of mine, who I didn’t really know that well but she was a very serious, proper actress, she asked me to give her an award. But I had never been to this award ceremony, so I thought it was like a roast. So I got up and I roasted her,” Witherspoon said.

The Legally Blonde star then admitted that wasn’t the vibe of the event: “The tone was British. Elegant. Classy,” she continued.
She then referenced a portion of her speech: “I was like, ‘Remember the time we got laser hair removal?’ I’m kidding. I’m still embarrassed about it,” Witherspoon continued.
“It wasn’t good. We’re not friends anymore. I’m not even kidding. We’re not friends anymore. She doesn’t like me anymore,” Witherspoon concluded. “I’m not even kidding. She doesn’t talk to me anymore.”

Just Jared found — via a Witherspoon fan site — a partial transcript of a 2007 speech Witherspoon gave at the BAFTA/LA Cunard Britannia Awards.
“I always wanted to be a European movie star, wear giant sunglasses, elaborate neck scarves, smoke hand-rolled cigarettes, and have savoir faire and gravitas,” Witherspoon said, according to Just Jared.
“Imagine my good fortune when Kate Winslet moved into my neighborhood, rang my door bell and said, (insert British accent here) ‘Dahling, Sam is off shooting, and I believe our children are the same age. Could they possibly have a play date and oh, by the way, it’s almost 9 o’clock and I’ve had nothing to do drink, do you have any wine?’”
Though the fan site did not have the exact transcript of what Witherspoon said regarding laser hair removal, the site did reference that Witherspoon touched on that topic in her speech.

Adding another layer of intrigue and confusion to the story: there wasn’t any apparent tension nine years later when Witherspoon and Winslet presented the award for Best Picture at the 2016 Oscars. In fact, the women were photographed chatting and hugging.
PEOPLE has reached out to reps for Winslet and Witherspoon for comment.

A series of wildfires has devastated swaths of Southern California, causing thousands of residents to have to flee their homes as it rapidly engulfs large parts of the Los Angeles area.
The first fire started in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday, Jan. 7. Videos show devastation in the seaside community; as Pacific Palisades resident Maria Shriver wrote on Instagram, “Heartbreaking, devastating, beyond belief. Everything is gone. Our neighborhood, our restaurants. All our friends have lost everything.”
The Eaton Fire (also called the Close Fire) followed, sparking around 6:30 pm Tuesday; by late Wednesday morning, it had exploded to 10,000 acres across Pasadena and Altadena. By 6:15 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 8, the Woodley Fire was ablaze, seizing 75 acres in its wake.
Northward of that, the Hurst Fire, which grew to about 500 acres in size, sparked around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday and was still going around 5 a.m. on Wednesday. A fifth blaze, the Tyler Fire, sparked west of L.A. near Coachella and was 50 percent contained at the time of this writing.
On Thursday, a new fire, the Kenneth Fire, was being investigated as arson and was growing rapidly.

Grateful, thankful, what’s something infinitely stronger than that?! That’s what I feel.”

But it’s everybody. It’s everything. I’m just devastated and heartbroken for everybody. All the people we know.”

She added, “This loss is immeasurable. It’s the spot where we got married 3 years ago. I grief along with all of those suffering during this apocalyptic event. Praying for all of my neighbors, my friends, my community, the animals, the firefighters and first responders. More to share soon of how we escaped with Dolly and not much else. For now I grieve. ”

Pretty cool stuff, but you know, that can all be replaced. These are only things.

“Words cannot describe the enormity of the devastation we are witnessing and experiencing. We ache for our friends and neighbors who have also lost their homes and businesses in this tragedy. Janice and I lived in our home since 1979. We raised our children and grandchildren here. Every inch of our house was filled with love. Beautiful memories that can’t be taken away. We are heartbroken of course but with the love of our children and friends we will get through this.
We pray for the safety of the fire fighters and first responders. The Pacific Palisades is a resilient community of amazing people and we know in time it will rise again. It is our home.”

LOS ANGELES — Even after a 13-game grind and potentially three more games to go if Ohio State is going to win a national championship, coach Ryan Day said Tuesday his team couldn’t be in better shape.
“I feel like all things considered that we’re as healthy and as strong and as fresh as we’ve been all season,” Day said. “I think right now we’re battle-tested. I think we’ve built depth, and when we put the roster together, we knew that this was going to be the case, that we had to be strong and powerful late in the season and continue to build as the season’s gone on.”
Ohio State and Oregon will meet for the second time this season Wednesday in the Rose Bowl Game presented by Prudential. Ohio State (11-2) routed Tennessee 42-17 back on Dec. 21 in the first round of the playoff. Oregon (13-0) last played on Dec. 7 in a 45-37 Big Ten championship game win over Penn State.
In the new 12-team playoff format, teams that lose in their conference championship games would have to play 17 games to win the national championship (and 16 games at the minimum), making this the longest FBS college football season in history.
“For us, it’s something you prepare for throughout the season, knowing what the season could look like and having a 365-day plan of how you want to prep for these moments,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said.
“I’d have to give kudos to our sports science staff, our training staff, our weight room staff. Our team is relatively healthy. Nobody feels great at this point in the season because of the time of the season that you’re in, but our players are putting up some [personal bests] in the weight room or doing some unbelievable things at this point in the season. When you talk about going into Game 14, I think that’s huge. Kudos to our staff and the job that they’ve done, making sure they stay fresh.”
Ohio State hasn’t avoided injuries. Center Seth McLaughlin and offensive tackle Josh Simmons both suffered season-ending injuries earlier in the year, forcing the Buckeyes to dip into their offensive line depth. Simmons is a likely first-round NFL draft pick.
“Although we’ve had some injuries in certain positions, I feel like right now we’re playing as fast and as violent as we played all season,” Day said. “So there’s a lot that goes into [managing a longer season]. I won’t get into all those types of things, but I do think as we continue to move forward in this format, it’s something that we all need to consider.”
The mental strain of such a long season also takes its toll on players and coaches alike. But no matter how loud the noise got surrounding Day, especially after the loss to Michigan, Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly said it was Day’s steadiness that set the tone for Ohio State to bounce back with such a vengeance against Tennessee.
“He’s been awesome and he understood when he took the job, because he’d been an assistant under Urban [Meyer], the magnitude of the job,” Kelly said. “There’s a lot of good things that go with a job like this and a lot of difficult things. Ryan has handled it as well as anybody, and the same way he is every day, our players are the same way every day. It’s not like we come in on a Sunday and it’s, ‘Oh, we’re going to change everything.’
“There’s a consistency about him, even when things aren’t going the way you want them to, and our players appreciate that. And the longer the season is, the more that consistency pays off.”
Day said his mindset going into this second game against Oregon is no different than it was earlier this month prior to the Tennessee game when the Ohio State fan base was steaming over the Michigan loss at home.
“Very similar … hungry and focused,” Day said. “Any opportunity to get on the field is an opportunity to prove people right and prove people wrong, and that’s just the approach of our team. We were excited to get back on the field, but we’re excited about playing this game as well, a lot of football ahead of us. And that’s really just been the focus. You have to learn from what’s gone on in the past, and if you don’t, then you’re going to repeat yourself.
“As the season’s gone on, we’re both here in the Rose Bowl, and along the way there are twists and turns.

The Golden State Warriors have been one of the most dominant teams in the NBA in recent years, thanks in large part to their star-studded lineup of players like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. However, this season has been a bit of a rollercoaster for the Warriors, as they have struggled to find their groove and have been plagued by injuries.
But amidst all the ups and downs, there has been one player who has emerged as the X-factor for the Warriors: Andrew Wiggins. The 26-year-old forward has been a revelation for the team this season, providing a much-needed boost on both ends of the court.
Wiggins, who was acquired by the Warriors in a trade with the Minnesota Timberwolves last season, has always been known for his scoring ability. But this season, he has taken his game to another level, averaging a career-high 18.6 points per game while shooting an impressive 47.7% from the field.
But it’s not just Wiggins’ scoring that has made him a valuable asset to the Warriors. He has also been a force on the defensive end, using his length and athleticism to disrupt opposing offenses and make life difficult for the opposing team’s best players.
In a recent game against the Phoenix Suns, Wiggins showed just how valuable he can be to the Warriors. He scored 38 points, including several clutch baskets down the stretch, and played lockdown defense on Suns’ star Devin Booker, holding him to just 12 points on 4-of-15 shooting.
Wiggins’ performance in that game was a microcosm of his impact on the Warriors this season. He has shown that he can be a reliable scoring option when Curry and Thompson are having off nights, and his defensive versatility has allowed the Warriors to switch seamlessly on defense and disrupt opposing offenses.
With Wiggins playing at such a high level, the Warriors have been able to weather the storm of injuries to key players like Curry and Thompson and remain competitive in the loaded Western Conference. And as they gear up for a playoff push, Wiggins will be a key piece of the puzzle for the Warriors as they look to make a deep run in the postseason.
In conclusion, Andrew Wiggins has been the X-factor that the Warriors have been missing this season. His scoring ability, defensive prowess, and versatility have made him a valuable asset to the team, and his impact on both ends of the court has been crucial to the Warriors’ success. As they look to make a push for the playoffs, Wiggins will continue to be a key player for the Warriors, and his performance will be instrumental in determining how far they can go in the postseason.
