Like Elle Woods taking on a case pro bono, Reese Witherspoon has made a pet project of teaching fellow A-lister Natalie Portman how to use social media. “Reese has been a wonderful support system in teaching me the ways of modernity,†Portman said in an interview. “There’s this thing called social media. It’s a very new thing in my life, and I feel like a grandmother who’s learned how to use the microwave,†she added. “Wow, it heats things up!†Portman has already figured out how to post her old SNL rap video online, so she’s really learned what the people want pretty quickly. Though if she really wants to step up her game, she should try doing a live video where she just says hi to more than 200 people.
