Earlier this week, Deadline reported that Reese Witherspoon was in talks to reprise her role as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde 3, 17 years after the original film was done. And guys, IT'S HAPPENING. Witherspoon confirmed the news on her Instagram this morning with a pool shot of herself in Elle Woods' signature bikini. 'It’s true... #LegallyBlonde3,' she wrote simply.
