Bridget Jones-ing

Miramax Films

Renée Zellweger is getting ready to film the third installment of Bridget Jones.  In the past two films, she's put on a few pounds to play the part.  But in a recent interview she said that she wouldn't do that this time.  She's worried about what gaining and losing weight can do to your body.  She's pretty skinny, so I don't think it would hurt her to gain a pound or 10, but I do know how much it sucks to have to lose weight so I don't really blame her for not wanting to do it.  But, she said rather than have Bridget just be Renée's size, they're going to put her in fat suits this time.  That is something I can't be on board with.  If I want to see a woman run around in a fat suit, I’ll just tune in to an episode of Tyra.
