Renee ZellwegerRenée Zellweger doesn’t want to gain the weight she did for the previous two Bridget Jones movies, so she’s reportedly planning to wear a fat suit instead for the third film in the series. A source told Britain’s Reveal magazine, “Renee will be wearing a fat suit in the third film as it took her a while to lose the weight last time. She’s also thinking about the effect of quickly putting on and then losing 30 pounds has on her body.” Colin Firth and Hugh Grant are also expected to return to their roles. The upcoming film is rumored to be about Bridget, having reached 40, contemplating having a baby.

    It’s probably because she just started dating Bradley Cooper and doesn’t want to lose him to Jennifer Aniston!

    Exactly what I was thinking. Sookie. It seems funny she never had a problem with it before.

    also, doesnt it seem like shes trying to say its disgusting to be 30lbs bigger than she is now? if thats true, what a wonderful thing to imply when young women are already so impressionable!

    smart comments mandee! agree….skinny is extremely unattractive…

    looking forward to this next Bridget installment, think all 3 actors are well suited to these continued roles…
