Reese Witherspoon is building a barn.
The ‘Water for Elephants’ actress – who has two children, Ava, 11, and
Deacon, seven, with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe – is looking forward to
the holiday season as it gives her time to work on a shelter for her
pets, including pigs Booker T. Washington and Lavender Valentine, goats
George and Martha Washington and donkeys, Honky and Tonky.
She said: “I’m building a barn. I think it’s cool. I really do have animal friends, I have donkeys, I have goats, I have pigs.
"I wanted the donkeys to be called Honky Tonk and Badonkadonk but the
kids weren't so into it. They didn't know what 'badonkadonk' meant. So
apparently I am doing some good parenting.
“Do I milk them? No. The goats are kind of worthless. They’re pretty
nasty and don’t do anything. But I have chickens and they provide eggs.”
Badonkadonk is an American slang term used to describe an extremely
curvaceous, voluptuous and bouncy female behind, which usually belongs
to a woman with a small waist.
As well as building a barn, Reese – who is now in a relationship with
Hollywood agent Jim Toth – is looking forward to welcoming her extended
family for the holidays.
She told TV talk show host Chelsea Handler: “I’ll just be hanging out
with my kids and I’ll be cooking, my whole family is coming in from
Tennessee, which will be fun.”
