actually I misquoted msn.com's headline. It's "how did she end up a star?"

Girolamo, that's pretty distasteful, putting it mildly.

its the only explantion though.

oh you and your explantions.

from the interview:

Renee (in re: to moving to LA):For me personally, I wanted to go when I was invited. And I was invited.

BSW: Do you mean metaphorically? Or were you literally invited by someone?

Zellweger: Not in so many words. It was more that there were people who worked in the business of making films out here who were aware of some of the work that I had done and were calling to ask me questions and calling to sit down and talk about what my plans were. And that, to me, was scary in some respect, but there was nothing to lose, because I wasn't hoping for anything. So it was an equalizer.

I refuse to believe she did anything that Matthew McConaughey didn't do either. Including that Texas Chainsaw Massacre sequel.

I've always had this same question about Julia Roberts. I don't get it at all.

she and Julia do have a certain dick-sucking quality about their mouths, it must be said

Cripes that Von Bondies post-ass-whuppin' photo give me the heebiejeebies.

one year passes...

Has anyone seen the cover of the latest Entertainment Weekly (with Renee & Russell Crowe on the cover)? You CANNOT tell me she hasn't altered her mug in some weird way. She barely looks human.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 6 June 2005 17:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Crowe rearranged her face with a phone.

why are people angry about what giralamo said? i thought that was pretty much accepted about RZ (and many female and male stars, james dean was another high profile one)

taking sides: rz vs. s/z

go fatty renee, you are hot.

I happened to see her on TV the other day, and her legs looked awful, like terribly scrawny, veiny old-man legs. And her face looked all pinched and pale and sunken. She looked sick, actually.

Bridget Jones 3, then, for her health's sake.

Seriously, check out the cover of the new EW. It looks like she's wearing a creepy mask.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 6 June 2005 19:00 (eighteen years ago) link

Fleshy Renee was so cute! Now she's even more gaunt than I am -- and I'm a slender mofo (but healthy -- it's my metabolism)!

she's rumoured to have a wee problem with the cocaine.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 08:59 (eighteen years ago) link

I liked her in that silly film with Jim Carrey

when does she not look like this?

― AaronK (AaronK), Tuesday, 7 June 2005 11:59 (eighteen years ago) link

ie, looking like she just woke up with a hangover, high sensitivity to light, and a foul, sour taste in her mouth.

Actually, I think putting on a lot of weight and then taking it off again very rapidly like that (twice) could have lead to a lot of health probelms.

she was quite hot/cute in "Love & A .45"
