Rant copied from a IM conversation:

I have no sympathy for Renee Zellweger's marital woes.

Renee has been on my shit list ever since she kept talking about how hard it was for her to gain the weight for Bridget Jones's Diary, and how fat she was, and how's she naturally very thin! Honestly! Her ribcage has always protruded like that!

If you look at her in Jerry Maguire, before she was a supastah!, she's slim, certainly. She put on 15 lbs and looked very average in Bridget Jones, and looked great, not fat by any means. And then she dieted down to a skeleton. You can actually count her ribs in Chicago. And her comments about her weight fluxuations were pretty insulting.

I appreciate the fact that she's working in an industry in which a size 0 is normal, size 2 is heavy, and size 4 is heiferish. I understand (and regret) that celebrities are held to a different standard that the rest of us. But I especially dislike Renee because she had a chance to address the issue in a relevant way--she did actually gain weight to play a normal-sized woman, which is something noteworthy in Hollywood. But instead of using that opportunity in a positive way for all women, she used it to turn herself into a martyr--she had to be fat! For a whole six months! It was terrible!

So my point is, I have no sympathy for her marital troubles and I don't think she's any more "down to earth" than any other celebrity. Even if she did go to UT.
