The Royal Wedding: Unveiled
Overheard: Reese's royal no-shows?

Overheard: Reese's royal no-shows?

“I can’t even contain my enthusiasm for the royal wedding… I said something to my girlfriend, I go, ‘I’m kind of bummed I wasn’t invited to the royal wedding.’ She goes, ‘Do you know them?’ And I said, ‘No… but I invited them to my wedding, but I expected, like, a reciprocal invitation.’ Isn’t that how it works?”

- Reese Witherspoon, telling Kelly Ripa and former NFL player Michael Strahan - who filled in for Regis Philbin on “Live!” - about her unrequited love of the royal couple.

    So long as items like this remain on the front page of CNN's website, our great nation's collective intellect will continue to suffer.

    What a waste of a quality news agency to publish such crap! Who cares about Reese or any other actor/actress who have opportunities to live in a fantasy world. I could careless whether so goes to the Royal Wedding or not. We have soldiers dying everyday. Why don't you do articles on our hero's who habe died or have been injured in the line of duty. Such has a story behind they're lives. Do real stories not this BS...

      You knew the subject matter when you clicked the link. If this kind of story is a waste of time to you, then don't click the link. It falls under "Entertainment News"

      Hey Hater: Sounds like you like depressing stuff. Why not have a little positivity in your life. The world hears about war everyday. People do care & love our soldiers who are fighting for our freedom. Have a great day. Love ya

    Really? In spite of the horrible news of two dead journalists in Libya and scores of civilians as well, one year anniversary of the BP oil spill and we aren't allowed a minute to smile over something silly? I think it's funny and it made me laugh. We can't always cry. Thank you Reese for your silly comment that put a smile on my face.

    Thats the point. It was levity. Not every story has to deal with death and destruction. Reese is a vesy talented, lovely gal. I wish them well. Hope it lasts.

    Thank you Reese and CNN for some levity. I have friends in chemo. I'm raising two kids. I pray for our men in women serving and watch all the other stories covered as well. It's nice to laugh and from a lady who knows her audience and is simply trying to be entertaining and not uptight.

    Ok people obviously if u know about the issues plaguing the world, the media is doing a pretty good job of keeping people informed, secondly stories about war heroes and soldiers who've sacrificed their lives for us are on tv and being published all the time.. why don't you all relax its a morning talk show. I don't know about you but I don't tune into Register and Kelly for breaking news and worldwide political and economic issues.. I believe their are other networks, programs and alternative media sources that are a little more informative!! And ps if ur so into all these real life crisis' occurring why are u even reading or commenting on this article??? Just saying.....

      I don't care about the wedding so i didn't read any of the articles about it, however, I like reese so read this. Nobody's forcing the reader to read this article so why complain about its irrelevance?

    OK, 2 things. 1) The saying is "I COULDN'T care less" not "I could care less".If u "couldn't care less" then u are caring about as "less" as humanly possible, whereas if u "could care less" there is still room for "less" caring! I'm also in confusion by CNN's policy. All my postings are brilliant insights, written in perfect syntax & the pop-up I get is: "U've already said that!" So, CNN this is for u:" No, I haven't! I haven't said this, because I'm still writing it!" Put that on u'r blog & post it! Or put it in u'r pipe & smoke it! Either way, I couldn't care less!!!

    If you people don't like the article, the entertainment section, or CNN, go somewhere else. How sad is your existence that you have to comment on a story to express how uninterested you are in said story. Go volunteer at a soup kitchen; it's a more productive use of your apparently abundant time and energy.

    Who cares about the royal wedding. We have gas close to 4 a gallon. A president who is a.waste. and people forget the UK royals are and have been the biggest thieves in the world. They will be divorced in a few years anyway, he can't keep up with her. He's gonna look like his ol man in a few years and she will be banging rock stars and other clowns with money.

    And people write this stuff because its a JOB!!! And pretty sure they have kids and a house to take care of so tell me if you had the opportunity to write a story.. Even if its stupid.. And feed your family, you wouldnt take it.. Im mad people are throwing a fit about this.. Dont you have a job or hobby.. Shes also spent her own personal money to help out the homeless.. So before you whine about a articial.. Sit back and ask yourself if you sound like a baby!

    To all of you who are sitting back and complaining about what a waste this little laugh was when there are soldiers dying, 1 year since the BP explosion, etc....perhaps then, instead of clicking on the ENTERTAINMENT header, try world news or U.S, I just finished reading a few interesting articles on the REAL news before I decided to lighten up with something fun!

    We all know that there are more important topics that could be discussed,but what kind of depressing people would we be if we constantly heard negative news all the time.We all have life problems of our own without having to worry about world problems.That is why its called entertainment.Would you suggest all movies and music and tv shows be about world topics?of course not we need entertainment.So if reese wants to entertain us with her silly humor about the royal wedding then ha ha im entertained.

    While I myself have little interest in royals new there are many, many people who do enjoy reading and watching stories about the royals. Not everyone likes sports but it is covered due to interest, same applies here. If you don't like it, don't read it!

    I'd much rather read about this than about violence (@ hater) any day. As somone that has relatives in the armed forces I say, bring those soldiers home so they don't have to die overseas. They can protect us here at home just fine.

      Ya, bring them home so the can die here! Servicemen & women join knowing they may die in battle, if they didn't, they should not have joined.

    Because it's under the entertainment section? What made you click on the article if you weren't in this section in the first place? Lighten up people; a little humor never hurts.
