IS the world ready for more Legally Blonde? Reese Witherspoon certainly is.

The actress, who starred in the first two super successful films, dished about a possible Legally Blonde 3 during a recent appearance on Fashionably Late with Rachel Zoe.

“A lot of writers over the years have come up with different ideas for it. I actually think it’s kind of great right now because we’re talking about women in politics and how important that is to get more women,” the 39-year-old Oscar winner said.

“And I think it’d be kind of a cool thing to have [Elle Woods] be a Supreme Court Justice or somebody who runs for office, like president.”

Witherspoon played the ditzy but loveable Elle Woods in 2001’s Legally Blonde and 2003’s Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde. She was just 25 when the first film was released.

While the sequel was not as well received, the original pulled over $132 million domestically, according to Box Office Mojo.

No word yet on whether actors Jennifer Coolidge, Luke Wilson or Selma Blair would sign on for a third film.
