Though a lot of people seem to accuse Reese Witherspoon of being a prude, consider how many times I saw three quarters of Lindsay Lohan’s ass last week, I’m really, really okay with someone who thinks it’s a good idea to keep her shirt on. Contrary to what you may see in Hollywood, I read a report last week that said that 98% of women wear a shirt when they leave the house. The majority of those over the age of 13 even strap on a bra most of the time. Very few of them wear skirts so short that you can actually see their lady bits. Reese Witherspoon has recently announced that she won’t go nude for any role, and has questioned why so many women feel they need to. And considering I can tell you exactly what Britney Spears’ nipples look like, I have to say that I think Reese is onto something.

Reese Witherspoon won’t pose for sexy photo shoots to promote her films. “If [actresses] take their clothes off, they objectify themselves,” she tells the UK edition of Glamour. “I am flabbergasted by how many legitimate actresses do it.”

Witherspoon, 31 – who shares custody of Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – adds that she tries to avoid the pitfalls of a Hollywood lifestyle. “I am a role model for my children,” she says. “Hollywood is one of those endless competitions,” she says. “It’s a race towards nothing. I just want to be the best version of myself that I can be.”

Witherspoon credits her 2005 Best Actress Oscar win for Walk the Line with opening up a range of film roles. “I would never have been offered these kind of roles,” she says. “There was also a lot of pressure after [winning an Oscar]. People wanted me to do a really big movie and I just wanted to do something more sort of personal and real.”

I wouldn’t have such a problem with on-screen nudity if there were more parity between women and men. But I swear, the ratio of naked women to naked men is like 10 to .5. That means that for every ten women I see naked, I see half of one naked guy. Do you have any idea how disappointing that is? Sometimes it’s the left half or the right, and I can deal with that. But when it’s just the top half or the bottom, it seems really unfair.

In other Reese Witherspoon news, rumors surfaced yesterday that she was engaged to boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal, which her rep quickly denied. I don’t believe a word that comes from a rep’s mouth anymore, but I also don’t believe that Reese would get engaged to someone before she’d evaluated their college transcripts, 401(k) and medical history, so I’m guessing there’s no ring yet.
