The problem is that she only kind of resembles the knockout we came to love in a long list of films that includes “Bridget Jones’ Diary,” “Jerry Maguire” and “Down with Love,” one of my personal favorites.
In a statement to PEOPLE magazine, the 45-year-old blonde bombshell called the stir her new look has caused since she appeared Monday at Elle Women in Hollywood Awards in Beverly Hills "silly."
“I’m glad folks think I look different! I’m living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I’m thrilled that perhaps it shows,” Zellweger told the magazine. “…it seems the folks who come digging around for some nefarious truth which doesn’t exist won’t get off my porch until I answer the door.”
I am not sure what this is, but I can tell you the chatter hasn’t been silly.
Many have speculated that Zellweger has had some work done and it was more than a tweak here or there. Too much Botox? An eye lift? A face lift? Face replacement surgery?
One online user said even Zellweger’s ears look different.
A few others say this whole thing is sexist and that this is just a woman aging.
Looking at photos of Zellweger in recent years, I don’t buy the “she’s aging” argument and must say that people would take note of such dramatic changes to the appearance of any A-list actor as well.
Imagine what would happen if Tom Hanks suddenly looked more like Tobey Maguire than Tom Hanks.

I don’t look the same as I did when I was 22, but you can still tell I am the same person.
If Renee Zellweger wasn’t Renee Zellweger people would tell her that she kind of looks like Renee Zellweger or Charlize Theron.
PEOPLE says Zellweger chalked up her new appearance to a “healthier, slower-paced lifestyle’ and a great relationship with her hairtastic boyfriend Doyle Bramhall (check out that hair).
Maybe Zellweger is telling the truth, but the world has never seen love or fruits and veggies chance the structure of someone’s face so dramatically.
Her new look turned heads alright.
Zellweger can get as much work done or not done as she wants, in my humble opinion. And she can own up to or not “own up to” any of that work.
That said, the thought that one of the world’s most beautiful women may not think she is beautiful enough is pretty sad.
What do you think?
