Renée Zellweger Not Fat; She's Bridget Jones…Again!

Renee Zellweger, Bridget Jones Diary Miramax Films

When Renée Zellweger starts packing on the pounds, there shouldn't be pregnancy rumors to go along with them.

She's done it before and she'll do it again as she reprises her beloved role as Bridget Jones.

That's right: Working Title didn't learn its lesson from the not-so-beloved sequel, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason. The series, written by Helen Fielding, is getting a round three.

According to Variety, the film probably won't go into production until late 2010, but Zellweger is on board. Word is that the installment will be based on weekly columns Fielding wrote in 2005 for the U.K. Independent about Bridget in her 40s, trying to have a baby before it's too late.

No word yet if the zaftig heroine will be joined by her bunny suit or her former love interests, played by Hugh Grant and Colin Firth (sigh).

Bridget Jones is probably a fan of pizza…and so is Anne Hathaway! You'll never guess who she shared a pie with!
