Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth in Venice Beach Pictures

Reese Witherspoon joined her loved ones yesterday for lunch at Axe on Abbot Kinney Boulevard in LA. Ava and Deacon Phillippe stepped out in Summer tees, while Reese looked chic in neutral linen and Jim kept cool in one of Matthew McConaughey's jk livin shirts. Jim, who represents the actor, is mixing business and pleasure in an upcoming project that could unite Matthew and Reese on the big screen. Reese and Matthew are in talks to costar in Mud, the tale of a man on the run who's trying to get back to his one true love. Reese also just signed on to star in Wish List, so it seems her six-month hiatus is quickly coming to an end with exciting new roles coming her way.
