Ryan Phillippe is busted flirting outrageously with another woman

I've always thought that the former Mr. Reese Witherspoon, aka Ryan Phillippe, came off like something of a player. His breakup with Reese is largely thought to be a product of his cheating ways with actress Abbie Cornish. But if you believe the National Enquirer, even though Ryan is getting serious with Abbie, his wandering ways are still in full effect. Ryan was reportedly hitting on a blonde in a bar, trying to get her number.

Hope Reese Witherspoon's reading this - and Abbie Cornish AIN'T - because Ryan Phillippe's notorious cruel intentions have just resurfaced! Ryan, if you recall, killed his marriage to Reese by cheating with his current galpal Abbie - who, sadly, was nowhere in sight when Curly Locks, dining in a back booth at Dan Tana's, suddenly spied a sexy blonde at the bar. Hustling over to make the Big Hit, Hunky Boy's cornball opener was: 'I love your outfit!'

After introducing himself, he flirted outrageously for 10 minutes, then begged the babe for her phone number, murmuring seductively: 'I would love to see you again!' …Eeeeeewwwww!…

Ryan recoiled, according to My SpyWitness, when the girl coldly told him she'd read all the news stories about his sneaky-squeeze adventures and snapped, 'I'm not interested in anyone who cheats!'

Question: why does Enquirer gossip columnist Mike Walker insist on making everyone sound gay? I can't for the life of me imagine Ryan Phillippe running up to some woman and saying 'I love your outfit!' But I can definitely see Walker saying that. Anyway, there's only one other thing that makes me doubt this story: the girl turned him down. As much of a player as he is, I don't think Ryan strikes out very often- if at all. The man is hot.
