Renee Zellweger Weight Not Causing “Bridget Jones” Wait

First, Renee Zellweger was supposedly sporting a baby bump. Now her slim frame is at the center of an equally contrived production stalemate.

According to the National Enquirer, Zellweger is “driving producers CRAZY” over negotiations for a third “Bridget Jones’s Diary” film… over a weight issue.

The Enquirer claims the actress doesn’t want to put on an additional 30 pounds (as she did to portray the full-figured Jones in the first two movies) out of fear gaining the weight will drive away real-life boyfriend Bradley Cooper. So, says the tab, Zellweger is “insisting that this time, instead of being a zaftig Everywoman, Bridget should be a diet-conscious skinny-minnie.”

According to a “friend” the mag cites, “She’d love to do Bridget, but she’s drawn a line in the sand about porking out again!”

Gossip Cop is drawing a line in the sand, too. On our side is reality.

We’re not really sure what’s on the Enquirer‘s side.

“So not true,” a rep for Zellweger tells Gossip Cop about the purported poundage impasse, adding, “Renee more than anyone would be true to the character” should a third film get made.

    I liked her better when she had some curves to her. She looked more real with a bit of extra flesh to her and by no means was she fat or unhealthy when she did have extra weight. Let’s be honest, real women have curves, they don’t have millions of dollars to spend on personal trainers etc to keep them stick thin. And frankly even a dog likes some meat on their bone, so even if her real life boyfriend did have an issue with her being curvier then that would have been his problem, not hers. Not everyone stays that skinny as they age so if he were to have left her over any weight gain now, what would he have done later on when the metabolism slows down and calories aren’t burned as fast? What would he have done if she gained weight from pregnancy for that matter? I’m glad to see though that this wasn’t the actual case for them, as I hate to see any woman suffer a superficial man who cares more about looks than they do the heart of the women they claim to love.
