The most remarkable thing about Stop-Loss, director and co-writer (working with Mark Richard) Kimberly Peirce's first film since 1999's Oscar-winning Boys Don't Cry, is that it isn't anti-war. It is, in fact, very pro-soldier, looking at the fighting men and women our country sends over to the Middle East with a teary-eyed reverence that's difficult to resist. These are our sons and daughters, our brother and sisters. These are our friends. These are our neighbors. These are the people we see each day of our lives. I liked this movie back when it was released in theaters at the end of March. I love it now. These are people audiences can relate to and understand, their commitment to their country and to one another as strong and as vital as their own. The war isn't the issue here, the people are, and anyone who has been affected by this

In a world where every cell phone has camera capabilities, the realities of the world are brought into our homes with relative ease. And for the first time ever this means the realities of war are brought along too. Soldiers, armed not only with guns but very often small, one-chip cameras are documenting their war-torn lives. Everyone’s a moviemaker. But while these affecting stories are making their way beyond army barracks and war zones via email and other Internet tools, rarely do they reach the masses. Sometimes it takes a skilled hand and a known face to alert the public to a greater social purpose. In her second film, Stop-loss, writer-director Kimberly Peirce—along with the film's stars, Ryan Phillippe, Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Abbie Cornish—has put a mirror to the government, asking that they see soldiers as more than numbers, but as human beings—with families

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's divorce was finalized Thursday, Los Angeles court records show, indicating that financial and custody settlements have been reached. Details weren't immediately available, however, the ex-couple have continually sought a shared custody arrangement over children Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4. The documents, dated June 12, only read: "[The court finds] the parties have settled all their remaining issues in these proceedings." Witherspoon is currently dating Jake Gyllenhaal, while Phillippe, 33, recently stepped out with Australian actress Abbie Cornish, 25. After seven years of marriage, Witherspoon, 32, filed for divorce in November 2006, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple first met when a mutual friend brought Phillippe to Witherspoon's 21st-birthday party.

Paul Walker won last week's battle of the Hollywood hunks, scoring 120 votes to Ryan Phillipe's 41. Many of you, it seems, just couldn't resist Paul's "piercing blue eyes" - not to mention that body, of course. Anyway, we're going north of the border for this week's Face Off, a duel between two sexy Scotsmen we'd love to see in (or out) of a kilt. Without further ado, let's get voting!

Two months after admitting it was bizarre seeing ex-wife Reese Witherspoon with Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Phillippe is quietly moving things forward in his own love life. After months of speculation about their relationship, he proudly accompanied his Stop-Loss costar Abbie Cornish to the 2008 Australian in Film Breakthrough Awards – their first major event as a couple. "They were adorable," says a guest. "He had his arm around her and they were cozy and comfortable." When Cornish – who was being honored with a Breakthrough Award – was introduced, Phillippe rubbed her back while she leaned against his shoulder. Throughout the evening, they held hands.

Actor Ryan Phillippe has gone public with his Abbie Cornish romance two years after the Aussie actress was accused of coming between the actor and his then-wife Reese Witherspoon.

One guest tells People.com, "They were adorable. He had his arm around her and they were cozy and comfortable."

Reports the new couple fell in love on the set of Stop Loss, when Phillippe was still married to Witherspoon, have been routinely squashed by Phillippe and Cornish.

U.S. TV host Jay Leno is determined to put his recent controversial remarks about homosexuality behind him - by appearing at a gay pride event.

The chat show king sparked outrage among gay rights groups by asking actor Ryan Phillippe to give him his "gayest look" during an interview.

Phillippe recently revealed his first paid acting role was as a gay teen on TV soap One Life To Live, and comic Leno decided to poke fun at his admission when he was a guest on his late night show in March. He was subsequently forced to apologise for his comments.

But Leno has now signed up to appear at a gay marriage celebration and rally in West Hollywood on Thursday night, alongside gay Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight.

California recently legalised gay marriage and the event will see a group of couples tie the knot in celebration of the state's new law - and Leno insists he will attend to voice his support for the cause.

A spokesperson for the event says, "He said that he is from Massachusetts and that the sky did not fall in their state when marriage equality became the law of the land there.

"He wants to impress upon everyone here in California that the sky will not fall here either."

Actor Jake Gyllenhaal is desperate to settle down and start a family with girlfriend Reese Witherspoon, according to reports.

The Brokeback Mountain hunk has been romantically involved with divorced mother-of-two Witherspoon since meeting on the set of their 2007 film Rendition.

The couple has been inseparable since, and, according to U.S. magazine Ok!, Gyllenhaal has made his intention to begin a family with Witherspoon clear - despite having yet to propose.

A source says, "He knows he might be jumping the gun thinking of kids, but he knows that Reese is the one. He laughs and says he needs to propose and do this the right way. It really is first comes love, then comes marriage...

"(Reese) reminds him that it's more than just coming over to take the kids to the park. Your entire life has to change. She's admitted that he has grown from when they first met into this very dependable dad type. He is ready to have his whole life change."

Hot Hollywood couple Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were always destined to be together - they were lovers in a previous life.

Top Tinseltown psychic Kenny Kingston's spiritual guides have told him the actors were an item when they were both medics in World War One.

Kingston says, "He was a doctor, she was a nurse. They worked closely together and were also romantically involved.

"But too soon, he was called to more active duty and they were separated. So, in this life. they must complete their relationship, both romantically and in some capacity, to work together.

"This (new relationship) will allow the relationship that started during World War One to fully blossom."

Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal have been an item since the actress split from husband Ryan Phillippe last year.

Actor Jake Gyllenhaal is deeply "in love" with girlfriend Reese Witherspoon, according to his producer pal Ryan Kavanaugh.

The Brokeback Mountain hunk has been romantically involved with divorced mother-of-two Witherspoon since meeting on the set of their 2007 film Rendition.

And Kavanaugh - who worked with the actor on forthcoming film Brothers - insists the Legally Blonde beauty could be 'the one' for Gyllenhaal.

He tells People.com, "I just think he loves her.

"(Jake) has obviously had his fair share of dating. I think eventually you come to a place where you know what you want and seeing what we saw on the set, he was certainly completely devoted to her and really loves her."

Of his friendship with Gyllenhaal, he adds, "He's a true artist and a really good guy. We used to work out every morning before going on the set, so he became a good friend too."

Hollywood actor Ryan Phillippe has found a way to turn the paparazzi to his advantage - by using them to promote his favourite charities.

The Crash star now insists on wearing a t-shirt with the website address of various good causes plastered across the chest - so when the pictures appear in the media, the charity receives free publicity worldwide.

And Phillippe is proud that he has been able to use the constant attention of the media to benefit the charities.

He says, "These pictures go around the world and untold numbers of people see them. One organisation told me their web hits went up 2,000 per cent overnight after one such image was syndicated."

Hollywood actor Ryan Phillippe fears his worries about the paparazzi have given his daughter Ava a nervous disposition.

The Crash star - who has Ava, eight, and son Deacon, four, with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon - admits he often became angry and snapped at photographers when they tried to take pictures of his daughter when she was a baby.

And Philippe is convinced his fearful reactions have had a negative affect on his little girl.

He says, "She's aware and it creates in her a lot of anxiety, which is partly my fault. When Ava was very young, I'd get visibly angry with the paparazzi back then.

"She was my first child and my instinct was to protect her. I think the attitude I had at the time did create in her a lot of the fearfulness she has today."

But Phillippe is relieved that his anxieties did not rub on Ava's younger brother, Deacon.

He adds, "Mainly because since his birth I've realised that you've got to make it seem like less of a big deal."

Ryan Phillippe admits that he was not prepared for the whirlwind of attention that would follow marrying Reese Witherspoon. Phillippe, 33, speaking to Britain's The Times Magazine while promoting his Iraq war film, Stop-Loss, refused to talk about his friendship with costar Abbie Cornish but he did hint at the problems of a high-profile marriage. "I fooled myself into believing it would be easier than it was. To have people speculating constantly about the state of your relationship, casting aspersions and telling lies ... It took more of a toll than I was immediately aware of," he told the magazine. A downside of the fame,

"He's terrific," Leno, 57, told reporters at Thursday's One, Two, Many premiere in Hollywood.

Actor Ryan Phillippe has been caught up in an April Fool's Day sex tape prank.

The Flags Of Our Fathers star was confronted with the 'leaked' raunchy footage as part of a skit on Tuesday's edition of U.S. chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Playing along with the joke, Phillippe pretended to be embarrassed and denied any involvement in the X-rated videotape.

He said, "Oh man. First of all, it is not me. I know it looks like me, and people say it sounds like me, but it's not me."

During the murky clip, Phillippe is seen setting up the video camera before he starts romping with Kimmel's middle-aged female security guard Veatrice, who is less than amused with the hunk's bedroom techniques.

Veatrice critiques, "Let mama show you how it's done... I want you to get the f**k up off my leg, Ryan Phillippe! You're crushing it, you son of a bitch, get off! Get the f**k up off of me! What you been eating? Your breath smells..."
