When William Makepeace Thackeray created Becky Sharp, the scheming, thoroughly amoral antiheroine of his savage, 1848 satirical masterpiece, Vanity Fair: A Novel Without a Hero, he could have had Reese Witherspoon in mind: Who else could play a young woman who combines the ruthless ambition of a Tracy Flick (ELECTION) and the butter-wouldn't-melt-in-her-mouth sweetness of Elle Woods (LEGALLY BLONDE)?

WHAT'S NEW IS NEW AGAIN

Teri Hatcher's confession to Vanity Fair about the sexual abuse she endured as a child has been billed as the "first time" she has broached the topic — unless, that is, you count an interview she gave TV Guide nearly a decade ago. In the magazine's June 15, 1996, issue, Hatcher explained her volunteer work with teenage girls by saying, "In my own way, I understand the pain of abuse. [There is] a specific connection to why I do that." After a pause, she added, "There. I don't think I have ever said that before. That will be new." Until 10 years later, that is. read more

Clooney tells Friday's Access Hollywood the speculation "isn't true," adding that it "takes away from [Hatcher's] brave decision" to help incarcerate her molesterread more

HATCHER'S SEX-ABUSE CONFESSION

In a cover-story interview for Vanity Fair, Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher reveals that at the age of 5, she was the victim of sexual abuse at the hands of her uncle — and just a few years ago played a major role in having him prosecuted and sentenced to 14 years in prison for molesting someone else. "I'm 41 years old and it's time for me to stop hiding," she tells the magazine. "I don't want to pretend it didn't happen anymore." read more
