I think I read that Miss Zellweger put on some extra lbs to play Bridget Jones. I thought she looked/looks fine. I don't like bony actresses.
It's a pity; I enjoyed the first Bridget Jones. It was likable. But it was based (loosely) on Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice. I haven't seen the second one, but it sounds like I Love Lucy as directed by Woody Allen.
I think she is confusing ogling, with pity.

And don't forget...in case of famine, we know who is gonna last...lol. And even a medical study just out says that people with a little weight on them are healthier.
Would be nice if folks could get past this idea of perfection and see people for who they are instead of what they look like. But it seems that fat phobia is the one prejudice that won't go away.
LOL! That will show all those skinny gals who's the boss. You can't make up stuff this good.
I kind of agree with this analysis ... up until about a year ago, I was always one of those skinny (skinny, skinny, skinny - eat a cheeseburger, for goodness' sakes!) girls. I have always had plenty of male attention, and I thought that I looked fine, so I didn't ever really think much about it.
In the last year, however, I have gained twenty pounds (it was the Atkins diet, beleive it or not!), and I have never felt or looked better. And, as far as male attention goes, I have never been pursued like this before!
Anyhow, I can see that I look MUCH better carrying this "extra" weight (although, I am thinking that this is probably the weight I should actually be), and it is making me look at Hollywood actresses with a completely different eye. Those women do not look normal, and except for in incredibly staged photographs, they really don't look good. They're too skinny, and they don't look like women. They look like malnourished little girls, and it makes me sad.
My man has been incredibly cool throughout this change. He never (ever, ever) said anything about not liking the way I looked before, but now (surprisingly, to me, at least), he's in hog heaven. I keep telling him that it's his reward for being so good. All of a sudden, he's all, "Boobies! Woo-hoo! And you got a big ol' round butt, baby, so bring it on over here" and he's a happy, happy man.
Weird, huh?
Oh, was there something wrong with the way Bridget looked? I was too busy looking at Colin Firth. ;-)
The camera takes off from 20 to 30 pounds.
Then theres the health angle, like in diabetes and all that..
