(If you missed it, click hereto watch it!)

Gracious and excited to interact with her fans in this exclusive iVillage chat, the Oscar winner — who looks as petite and lovely in person as she does on screen — was candid and funny as she opened up about her career and life. Here are some of the highlights from our sitdown:

On her friendship with Chelsea Handler: I know that doesn’t sound like her personality, but she’s really a great friend. She’s the kind of person that’ll cancel all her plans if you’re in a bad mood and you just want to sit on the couch and watch a movie. And she always organizes a Super Bowl party or and invites everybody. She’s really generous that way too. She likes to give a lot of good gifts.

On her menagerie of animals at home: I have three dogs, I have two horses, I have 21 chickens and I have two goats — oh it goes on — I have two donkeys and I have two pigs named Booker T. Washington and Valentine, Lavender Valentine.

On her family life: I have a pretty normal life, outside of what I do for a living which is kind of crazy and I travel a lot and I get to go on talk shows and all that kind of fun stuff. I have a pretty regular life. I get the kids off to school in the morning and I go to work at my office and pick them up from school and hang out. And we like to cook and jump on the trampoline a lot. My daughter and I are obsessed with the trampoline and my son and I like to throw the football around or we’ll play basketball in the driveway and that’s pretty much it. We watch The Voice a lot. Like all the singers, I get excited when they get chosen.

Reese Witherspoon is planning a summer visit to Chicago.

The Oscar-winning actress is this year’s recipient of the Gene Siskel Film Center Renaissance Award and will come pick it up on June 23. As part of the program, she’ll look back on her career in an interview conducted by Alexander Payne, director of her 1999 breakout film “Election.”

Payne is nominated for the best director Academy Award for “The Descendants,” and Witherspoon’s film “This Means War” opens Friday.

The benefit dinner for the Film Center will take place at the Ritz-Carlton Chicago, 160 E. Pearson, and tickets range from $400 to $1,000 (312-846-2072).

The ‘This Means War’ star dishes on parenting and why she decided to embrace her inner sexy action hero.
