Renée Zellweger is set to star in a third ‘Bridget Jones’ film. The actress has already expressed an interest in reprising the famous role and is prepared to once again pile on the pounds to play the hapless British TV reporter. A source told Britain’s Daily Express newspaper: "The next film will leap forward 10 years. Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver are still on the scene and Bridget is about to give birth to Daniel’s baby." Working Title, the company who produced the first two films, have already bought the rights to author Helen Fielding’s third novel. The pressure is now on Fielding, who gave birth to her second child four months ago, to complete the book as soon as possible. The source added: "Helen Fielding has started on the book. Obviously her own baby daughter has stalled production a little but now that Working Title has signed on the dotted line, she’ll be trying to finish the book as quickly as possible." Renée gained 25 pounds to play Bridget in the first two movies and perfected her English accent by using it on set even when she wasn’t filming.

I think she looks better with some meat on her bones, but that is not really saying much.

Zellweger: ‘Marrying Kenny was biggest mistake of my life’ has broken her silence over her 128-day marriage to country singer Kenny Chesney, declaring the relationship "the biggest personal mistake of my life". The Chicago actress stunned fans and the media when she wed Chesney on the island of St John in the Caribbean’s Virgin Islands on 9 May 2005, after a whirlwind four-month courtship. Zellweger filed for an annulment of the marriage just four months later, citing "fraud" as the reason for the couple’s split. The annulment was granted the following December. Speaking for the first time about her failed marriage, Zellweger tells Now magazine, "There was no alternative but to let it go. "I made the biggest personal mistake of my life. I felt a fool. "I was looking for something else. I just needed to put acting aside. I needed to sit still and not to worry about the dresses and the hair and the travel and the interviews. "I was going through huge life changes at the time. I wanted to stop and be a girl for a while. My marriage came during this time and it was desperately important to me. I don’t want anyone to think I didn’t take it seriously." Zellweger admits Chesney did not approve when the actress invited her close friend to stay in their Hamptons, New York farmhouse soon after their marriage. She explains, "There was no acceptance of my life or my friends. My friend was pregnant, with her husband and young kid. She was doing up her house for the new baby."

She makes herself sound like a victim when she used Chesney to fulfill her needs of the time.
