"Jennifer Coolidge has revealed there were plans for a third Legally Blonde movie, but Reese Witherspoon turned down the part. The American Pie actress, who played Paulette in the Legally Blonde films, also praised her co-star.   She told the New York Daily News: &amp;quot;That was Reese&amp;#039;s choice [not to make the third film].&amp;quot; Coolidge added: &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s such a good actress. It was weird, she carried Legally Blonde.  &amp;quot;She had a baby at home or two babies at home and she was doing Legally Blonde during the day. It was bizarre how much that girl can handle. I was blown away by her.&amp;quot;  Witherspoon, who played lawyer Elle Woods in Legally Blonde and Legally Blonde: Red, White and Blonde, was recently confirmed for Nick Hornby&amp;#039;s adaptation of Cheryl Strayed&amp;#039;s bestselling book Wild. The film, currently looking for a director, chronicles Strayed&amp;#039;s solo trek along the Pacific Crest Trail following the death of her mother and the dissolution of her marriage.
