Stand back! Renee Zellweger set to explode in 'Bridget Jones 3'
Renée Zellweger must be starving for work.
We hear she's gonna pack on the pounds again to play Bridget Jones in the third installment of the film series.
Last time, she had help from her dearest friends, a.k.a. biscuits and gravy, crispy duck, Snickers, milkshakes, pizza and butter-soaked potatoes.
Zellweger, 40, is expected to start filming at the end of 2009. So she's got a little time to start some serious eating, People reports.
This time, the plot of the comedy will probably focus on fortysomething Bridget's desire to have a baby.
Wait? So she has to gain enough to look pregnant too?
Oh, dear God. There's no coming back from this after 40.
Think twice about this, Renee.
How do you like your Renee? Scary skinny or pleasingly plump?
We're going with the large size.

I love Renee as Bridget Jones..... can't wait.
I love the Bridget Jones Diary films, but I do hate seeing her gain weight and lose it and gain it again. Now that she's 40 she will really have to work evern harder to get it off this time. Good luck girl!
She looks infinitely better with the weight on. When she is super skinny, she just looks older and haggard- a chemical peel tight face on a sickly body. She actually looks younger with the weight on (as a generalization, not referencing those two pictures: obviously one is from a while back).
Yeah, those extra 10 or 12 pounds she'll have to "pack on"... what a heifer! They're gonna need two cameras, no, three, just to film her!
P.S. The preceding comment was meant to drip with withering sarcasm.
Bridget Jones 3? My God, Hollywood has run out of good ideas.
Renee looks better with a little more weight on her. And I agree, once a woman hits 40 and she gains weight, her body likes the extra pounds and it's harder to get rid of.
