Renee Zellweger

Just wondering what people's thoughts are on her new look.  I am not a fan. I find she looks quite aged now.  I still can't get over how much different she looks.

    I think this sums up my thoughts pretty well:

    It just plain sucks.

    The personality is gone from her eyes -- it's gone from her entire face -- and she looks like she is in her 50s.  So does Tara Reid. Ugh.

    Kenny Rogers: same thing --- got plastic surgery; his big thing was the twinkle in his eyes. That is gone.

    Billy Joel had work, too --- he had a very prominent eye and i see he's made them less prominent. There is nothing wrong with a prominent eye; lots of people have them.

    And we all know the story of Jenifer Grey --- she never ever needed a nose job. She had her nose done and she was immediately unrecognizable.

    Lots of nose surgeries have taken place: Cher had hers done years ago; I remember how she looked when she first entered the industry. She looked GREAT. Susan Lucci did, also --- why did she need to touch it? Meg Ryan did, also.

    Why aren't these great looking people leaving well enough alone???

    Michael Jackson was cute as a bug's ear before he started the surgeries. He should have left well enough alone.

    Conversely, there are lots of stars who have not had any surgeries at all --- I haven't even seen a breast reduction in the bunch and there are many ladies who have very large breasts and did nothing to reduce them.  Sofia Vergara and Christina Hendricks come to mind. One is an H cup and the other is an F.

    And a fantastic female singer we all know never touched her nose, either: her looks are exotic and great.

    I remember hearing about Carol Burnett and how she had surgery to make her face shorter. This was way back in the Sixties where surgery like that was very dangerous -- and Marilyn Monroe had her nose done and her jaw redone. See pictures of her before the surgery when she was still a brunette: she was cute. 
  • "Plastic-surgery shaming is ... tantamount to blaming the victims of [the feminine] ideal for working so hard to achieve what we’ve told them, for decades, they must do. It’s bullshit, it’s unfeminist, and it’s just one of many ways in which society damns women for taking its ideals concerning ... the body to their natural extension."

    Thank you for this. The sad thing is until women stop shaming each other for our weight or appearance or whether or not we have had plastic surgery we can not expect the rest of society to stop doing it or the future generation to love themselves just as they are.
  • I'm mostly shocked because she looks so differentl. If I saw her walking down the street, I would NEVER know it was Rene Zellweger. However, I think she still looks gorgeous and I think it's refreshing when you can see wrinkles and aging on celebrities. I would rather see their wrinkles- like a real person- than tight plasticy fakeness.

    I would go "Whoa! That doesn't even look like him.  That can't be him, right?" if it were some other celebrity who was a male.  
    ETA which was my exact reaction to her pictures

    And impossible for everyone to be scalpeled, scraped and injected into one cookie cutter look.

    There are so many more famous people who sholdn't have bothered: what did they do to Bruce Jenner?  There's that other acctress -- I forgot her name --- now she looks like a nobody.

    And even Snooki and JWoww were dumb enough to bother. Jennifer was a pretty girl --- what did she do to her face?

    I don't think it's a feminist thing -- it's a "this is the thing to do" thing out in Hollywood. There's pressure to look your best and they think some doc's scalpel will do it.


  • It's none of my business, really.  If she's happy with how she looks, then more power to her.
