Show mommy how the piggies eat
Oh wonderful. Another year of "poor, fat Renee" jokes -- and how amazing she is for losing all that weight -- ahead. They're making a sequel to "Bridget Jones's Diary". You have to pity her for these 'grueling preparations' that take 'guts':

"You've got to eat 20 [doughnuts] a day for five weeks to get results...absolutely no exercise and a daily intake of 4,700 calories. Breakfast is a Big Mac and large fries, savoury scones with gravy and a high-fat milkshake. A snack lunch includes pizza, peanut butter and chips, washed down with the aforementioned doughnuts...a giant plate of spaghetti Bolognese with potatoes and butter." [link]

Getting paid 15 million pounds for that? Where do I sign up? Personally, I think she looks much better when you can't count the individual bones in her ribcage area...but that's just me...



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



She was way too skinny in Chicago, to the point where I wanted to jump up on screen and hand her a Big Mac.

You mean to tell me they pay people to get fat??? shit, I should be rich right now...lol
but if she gains more weight, her eyes might disappear completely into her face. They are so squinty now.

Renee Zellweger = Jewel's sluttier clone :)

Have you guys seen the trailer for Down With Love?

Way to perpetuate eating disorders, America!!

well, I'm glad she's gaining it back for the sequel. She's so, so much cuter without the Skeletor look. When it Hollywood going to realize that someone doesn't need to show the silhouette of their spleen to be beautiful. bah!

yeah, that would be "is". Not "it". I'm not awake yet.

I'm glad she's doing the sequel. Last I heard she was passing on it because she didn't want to gain the weight again.

Then again, I would have been more than happy to take the money & eat the fast food and snacks. I could afford a personal trainer with all my millions after the movie wrapped. ;)

Has it not yet occurred to anyone that being THAT thin also makes you look THAT old? Renee looked a bit like Granny from the Beverly Hillbillies in Chicago, if you ask me. Next to the lovely, and much more curvaceous, Catherine Zeta-Jones-I need to stop adding last names-Douglas, she was like a leaf blown in the wind . . .

What's a pound worth?

You realize in this discussion, that has two meanings... ;-)

Whoa. Eat that much good stuff and get PAID for it? Gosh, I should have been in show business. At least I would get paid to be chubby. :-)

Can you imagine the stretch marks?

I loved Renee in Bridget Jones. Heck I pretty much like everything she is in. She still single too!I went and saw Down with Love and thought it was pretty funny myself! Very 60s retro "Mary Tyler Moore." They pulled it off perfectly. I just think shes gorgeous, and if you can say 130 pounds is fat, you haven't seen fat! Also a pound is worth about a $1.60 these days so 15mill pounds is about 24 million bucks.

Unless of course you calculate how many pounds she's making for how many lbs. she's gaining...

i thought she looked like she was on her death bed in chicago. she looked GREAT in Bridget Jones's Diary. BUT she looked her BEST in either Empire Records or Jerry Maguire.

I don't think she'd get serious stretch marks. I mean, unless she's gaining like 100 lbs or something. but i could be wrong.

Love the "A Christmas Story" reference. One of my favorite movies - right there with the "Princess Bride".

As you wish.

They said she looked fat in the last one...I just thought she looked normal, average -- and all the better for it. Definitely not even close to fat though, jeez.

I find whole Paris Hilton look to be pretty much disgusting, NO idea why girls torture themselves to look that frightening.

I agree, I thought she looked frail thin in Chicago and I don't think it was attractive!

If she is "fat" in the first one than I am a whale. I think she looked great. She looked gross in Chicago. All muscle and bone.

Heck, I think she looked a lot better with a few pounds added... I honestly can't see how SCRAWNY is attractive to men!! I don't like my man boney!! ughh... Anyhow, she looks much better with meat on her, can't wait to see the next Bridget Jones 2... I hear George Clooney might be on there too??!!

I just bought the Chicago DVD and I kept on thinking to myself as I watched it, THAT GIRL NEEDS TO GAIN WEIGHT! She is maybe 100 pounds if even that, it really detracts from her character and grosses me out. SHE needs to get to a Buffet.
I don't understand why the girl can only be real skinny or chubby, she should be about 115-120lbs she'd look good then. I think she is a great actress but there is really no need to have lost that much weight from Bridget Jones
