Reese Witherspoon attended Elle Magazine's 20th Annual Women in Hollywood Awards on Monday evening at the Four Seasons hotel in Beverly Hills, and when pal Chelsea Handler gave the Oscar winner an award, the comedienne brought up Reese's embarrassing drunk and disorderly arrest.

Chelsea said, "Personally, as a true friend, my favorite project of hers was an overlooked short film that she made earlier this year. She plays a very inebriated housewife defending her inebriated husband." Ha! As you may remember, this was the night back in April that Reese was arrested for disorderly conduct when her husband was arrested for D.U.I. Reese mouthed off to the arresting officer and among the many gems that night, told him, "You're harassing me as an American citizen" and "You're about to find out who I am!"

According to E! News, Reese and hubby Jim Toth both laughed, but when Chelsea then made reference to Reese's role as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde Reese finally looked like she had had enough. "I've seen her naked and I can tell you, she was miscast," Chelsea quipped. "A more appropriate title would have been Legally Bald." Yikes!
