Reese Witherspoon will
star in a new romantic comedy called
The Beard. Cherinin Entertainment picked up the spec script by Becca Greene. The story is about a woman, a "beard," who pretends to be the girlfriend of a gay person giving them the illusion they aren't gay.
Reese will study up on her role by shadowing
Katie Holmes and
Kelly Preston. Because they're such great actors, you see.
