Super size zero Renee Zellweger wastes away
Last updated at 11:37am on 22.06.07Dressed as Playboy bunnygirl in hit film Bridget Jones, Renee Zellweger won the hearts of film-lovers worldwide - but since then she's become a shadow of her former voluptuous self.
The once shapely actress used to fill out Bridget's iconic "big pants" so well, she even made a sequel to the much-loved film.

Bunnygirl: Curvy and voluptuous Renee in Bridget Jones
However, her apparent obsession with being part of the size zero club, along with fellow actress, Sex in the City star Sarah Jessica Parker, has seen her lose all her curves.
Wearing her signature strapless cocktail dress, Renee revealed her bony frame, complete with weird pointy 'nobbles' on her shoulders, sinewy arms, and colt-like legs, topped off with a doll-like head that seemed way too big for her tiny body.
Renee, 38, and Sarah, 42 were seen deep in conversation for 10 minutes after a film party. Maybe they were swopping tips on how to maintain their fat-free figures.
The evolution of Zellweger's rail-thin silhouette is reported to be a result of daily two-hour workouts and 12-mile hikes in the Hollywood Hills.
Her painfully thin look is a dramatic about-turn for the star who famously had to gain two stone for role in Bridget Jone's Diary and the 2004 sequel The Edge of Reason.

At the time she said: "One doughnut does not do a thing. You've got to eat 20 a day for at least five weeks to get results."
Let's hope Bridget Jones author Helen Fielding starts work on a new instalment immediately, before Renee disappears altogether!

My wife used to be curvy and sexy but now she looks like that and believe me, it ain't sexy when the clothes come off. Why do women thing we want them to look like toothpicks?

I love SJP! I think she is related to me - Neigh!

It's disgusting that these people have such a distorted view of beauty. What's even worse is that they are idolized by young girls. Shameful.

Is anyone here aware that RZ purposefully GAINED close to forty pounds to play Bridgit Jones? She is naturally thin, not large.
- Jona, Lisbon, Portugal
I think she looks good. Not showing bones. I have seen much much worse. I just hopes she does not have an eating disorder.
- James Lomenzo, Clearwater, FL USA
How do they lose so much weight? Are they anorexic or do they diet?
- Jeanette Walker, Loudon, TN
RZ put it back on! Big tits in a bunny suit will sell tickets. A bag of bones does nothing for the guys.
- Art, Green Bay, WI
She put on weight to play Bridget Jones so that is an unfair comparison, you should dig out photos of RZ before that point. I don't think she was as thin but it would make for a more proper comparison.

The pictures look totally doctored up (graphics edited) to make this a story. I don't belive what I see!

Mad crazy hungry eyes that say, "I want to eat you and your children."

SJP needs an entire face job. Especially the long wicked nose. Hmm reminds me of someone. Everytime I look at that womans face it makes me hurl.
- Adam, Passaic, USA
WOW! It was so sad looking at the pictures. The pressures to be thin and to be the best are really getting out of control. I think a lot of it is also attention that they get when they start to look skinny. The more you talk about them the more money and attention they receive. Who knows what their personal motivation is but they do need help with this eating disorder.

This is not something new. Renee has been rail thin before, particularly when filming Chicago. I saw photos of her in rehearsals for that film, and she had no breasts, no hips or derriere, no body fat at all. She's obviously got a distorted body image. But hey.. she looks great in designer clothing and that's all that counts, I guess. Frankly, I think she looks unhealthy and unattractive as well as older than her years because of the gauntness.

Renee,
You looked perfect in Jerry Maguire...don't fall into the Hollywood trap!
If Karen Carpenter could speak, she would tell you the truth...it's not the mirror, it's your brain that is lying to you. Wishing you health and common sense.

Renee Zellweger used to be my favorite actress, and I thought she was absolutely beautiful. No more! Her "new" photo makes me sick! What the hell is wrong with her. If she think this is appealing to men, she is WRONG!
- Alan, Destin, FL
She still needs to lose about 10 pounds to look perfect
- Blane Blaze, san diego usa
RZ looks absolutely gorgeous with curves, my dad (and just about every other man I know) prefers her with some meat on her bones. She looks so tiny now, she can't possibly have an ounce of fat on her. Sad. Her arms and collar bone seem most worrying. Renee, please put some weight on!
- Jackie, Kent
She looks like a lollipop head. SJP doesn't look any better. I dread to think what they look like naked. Yuk.
- James, London
It's obvious the SJP is naturally slim and she looks good for it. Renee Zellweger does not look healthy that size with all those bones sticking out.
- Di, London
Renee is gorgeous fat or thin and I certainly wouldn't push her out of bed to get to the alarm clock.
- Squiz, Islington
They both look like a couple of twigs. Disgusting.
- Ak, Fulham, London
I think SJP is naturally thin - she looks healthy, but it's obvious that Zellweger, is underweight. She looks sinewy and ill. It's so, so sad...
