Break out the party hats -- it’s Reese Witherspoon’s birthday, and we’re here to celebrate our very own national treasure!

Reese is 49 -- just one year away from the big 5-0 -- but you’d never know it! She’s still radiating that signature Hollywood glow, and we’ve got a whole gallery to prove it.

Reese may be known for her iconic blonde bombshell look, but she’s no stranger to rocking a rich brunette vibe too. Whether she’s lighting up the red carpet or keeping it casual, she always serves serious style.

Remember when Cynthia Erivo threw some "Wicked" shade at her fellow auditionees? Well, that side-eye might’ve been aimed at Amanda Seyfried!

Cool moment for Amanda, sure -- but let’s rewind to November when Cynthia told the New York Times that Ariana landing the role was no shocker, adding, "Thank goodness, because it was not the two ladies that I was auditioning with."

"Mr. Reynolds’ exploitation of his enormous power in Hollywood continues, this time arrogantly asking to be dismissed from the case despite his publicly documented involvement extending far beyond just being a 'supportive spouse.' Mr. Reynolds was a key player in the scheme, defaming Justin around Hollywood, strong-arming WME into dropping Justin as a client, and trying to destroy Justin’s career however possible."

As we reported, Ryan filed the dismissal docs Tuesday, calling Justin "thin-skinned" for complaining the so-called "Nicepool" character from "Deadpool & Wolverine" was mocking him.

The biggest honor in entertainment means nothing to Ben Stiller -- at least in comparison to his beloved New York Knicks' success ... 'cause the actor said he'd rather have an NBA title than an Oscar!!
