Actor Ryan Phillippe - who I might add, is looking hot in that pic - spoke to W magazine and he dished about his marriage and subsequent divorce from Reese Witherspoon.   The 33-year-old defends Abbie Cornish, who was rumored to have come between Ryan and Reese.  He said, "I had difficulties in my relationship, and my marriage, long before I met her." Here's what else he had to say:

On his divorce from Reese Witherspoon:
"It was the darkest, saddest place I had ever been. There was a good four or five months of not being able to get out of bed. It was the worst time in my life."

On reports that Abbie was the reason for his divorce:

"It was unfair for her to be called the names that she was, because it wasn't about that. I don't think an outside person can ever cause a divorce... [It was] far more complicated and far less interesting than it's made out to be. To look and search for these salacious reasons, to pin it on a person, or a moment in someone's life, it's not realistic."

On how daughter Ava, 8, and son Deacon, 4 handled the split:
"I wanted to take time to make sure that my kids were OK and to build a new life that was going to be suitable to being a single parent... [Reese and I] have done a really good job of keeping things peacable and completely focused on [the children]."

Ryan is the star of upcoming drama about the Iraq War:  Stop-Loss.
