Reese Witherspoon: Busy in Brentwood

Kicking the weekend by running a few errands, Reese Witherspoon was spotted out in Brentwood, CA on Friday (January 13).

The ?Water for Elephants? actress looked cute in jeans, flats and a black sweater as she chatted on her cell phone along the way.

Meanwhile, Witherspoon was chosen to be featured on the February 2012 issue of ELLE magazine and opened up about appreciating her womanly figure.

?I do have to say, I like my body so much better after I had kids. Is that a crazy thing to say? I?m more womanly. I feel sexier. I?m more comfortable with my sexuality as I get older. When I was younger, I didn?t know why men were starting to look at me. Now I know why men are looking ? and I?m cool with it.?

Vinny's 'Jersey Shore' Anxiety 'Will Help Others'

Psychiatrist talks to MTV News after the star left the show on Thursday's episode to address his lifelong struggle with clinical anxiety.

On Thursday night's "Jersey Shore," viewers were given a glimpse inside Vinny Guadagnino's lifelong (though closely guarded) struggle with clinical anxiety — a battle that finally forced him to leave the show and return home to Staten Island.

It was a decidedly somber moment on a show that more often than not focuses solely on good times. But Guadagnino's condition shouldn't come as all that much of a shock: according to estimates, 15 to 25 percent of the population suffer from some form of anxiety disorder, and most of the time, those conditions remain undiagnosed. Which is why the "Shore" star going public with his personal struggle is such a big deal. Perhaps by doing so, he will inspire others to do the same.

"I was really struck by the honesty and the candor. I didn't expect that to be on national television," Dr. Sue Varma, a Manhattan psychiatrist and faculty member at NYU's Langone Medical Center, told MTV News. "As private as it is, if you're a public figure like he is, and you're dealing with an issue, you can bring awareness to it. It will help other people suffering from [an anxiety disorder] to come out without fear of being ostracized. It will get people talking and get people help."

Varma said that many of the conditions Guadagnino discussed on the episode are all fairly common to those suffering from an anxiety disorder. And those conditions were only exacerbated by his hard-charging Seaside Heights surroundings.

"You hear Vinny talking about not having his family around, not having a regular sleep schedule, going out a lot, drinking ... routine is really big, sleep is huge. For every psychiatric disorder, sleep is a symptom, either sleeping too little or sleeping too much," she said. "Often you'll hear somebody say they're having ruminating thoughts, they're obsessing, they're thinking about the same things over and over again, and often that keeps them from falling asleep.

"People who are anxious tend to stay in their head, because it helps them avoid their emotions. As long as they're thinking, they feel they're doing something to prevent something bad from happening. And that disconnects them from their surroundings," she continued. "And a lot of people who have anxiety also have depression, and depression brings about changes in appetite, loss of concentration, memory problems and, in severe cases, even suicide. You become isolated ... you lose your sense of pleasure in life. And anxiety, when it's untreated, when somebody feels it's out of control, that can bring on depression."

And the fact that Guadagnino managed to keep his anxiety a secret for so long doesn't surprise Varma one bit; after all, millions suffer from similar disorders, and more often than not, their friends and family aren't even aware of it. Or, if they are, they're not sure how they can help.

"All psychiatric conditions are medical conditions, so in the way people have diabetes or high blood pressure, that needs to be taken seriously, they have real biological circumstances, so does anxiety or depression," she continued. "It's a medical disorder, and people really think it's a mood, a phase that you're in, a funk that you're in, and you can just snap out of it. You can't. Anxiety disorders are really an umbrella, and there's seven or eight major categories that fall under that. People who have it are integrated amongst us ... there are plenty of people that you're working with that you don't realize have it, because they seem so functional. And having seen previous episodes, I wouldn't have realized [Guadagnino had a disorder] until he came forward."

Varma added that there are a variety of treatments available to those battling anxiety disorders — everything from psychotherapy to medications like Zoloft or Prozac — but the key is getting those with conditions to admit they need help. That's always been the biggest battle, though now that Guadagnino has gone public, perhaps those like him will follow suit.

"It's really important to let people know that there's no stigma in this," Varma said. "There are millions of people suffering from this, and it's treatable."

Beyonce And Jay-Z's New Baby Girl: What Will She Wear?

<P>Beyoncé and Jay-Z's new baby girl, Blue Ivy Carter, made her big debut Saturday at New York's Lenox Hill Hospital. With both of Blue's parents in the fashion business &#8212; Beyonc&#233; is the co-owner of the House of Der&#233;on, and Jay-Z is the co-founder of Rocawear &#8212; we are pretty certain that Miss Carter is going to have impeccable style. So, what are the latest trends for super-stylish baby fashionistas? MTV News hit up some of the top baby shops in New York City to find out what Beyonc&#233; and Jay-Z's newest addition might be wearing. "Baby girls at this time of the year, it's definitely cashmere, cashmere, cashmere," said Carolina Zapf, president of Baby CZ in Manhattan. "Pink is still the big color, but there is a lot of trends towards neutrals, cream and also, for a little more-forward child, gray." <CENTER></CENTER> Since Blue Ivy's name hints that her parents might have a favorite color, it's safe to assume that Bey and Jay will dress their little girl in her namesake hue. "I'm a big fan of blue on little babies. I think it's wonderful," Zapf said. "There are just a few mothers who will do it. You can do a blue-striped sweater, but then put a cream flower hat with it to make sure that nobody thinks the baby is a boy." For the days baby Blue wants to let out her own music style, her parents could hit up New York's downtown Babesta, which sells everything from Wu-Tang Clan-inspired onesies to baby concert tees. The shop's CEO, Jennifer Cattaui, said moms are buying "a lot of the rock and roll stuff." "It's kind of what we're known for. It's either the real rock or the fringe. The bestselling items are the Run-D.M.C. bib and the Wu-Tang onesie." <i>Do you think Blue Ivy Carter will be a trendsetter? Sound off in the comments!</i> <CENTER></CENTER></p>
