Renee Zellweger and Weight

Renee Zellweger has obviously got entirely bored with talking about her weight:

 

Ask actress Renee Zellweger about her weight and she yawns.

"Boring," she says, when asked to talk about her body.

Zellweger, a Texan renown for piling on the pounds to take the lead role in "Bridget Jones's Diary" and sequel "The Edge of Reason," is playing another British woman in "Miss Potter," based on the life of children's writer Beatrix Potter.

 

Oscar-winner Zellweger, 37, recently told Reuters why she likes to play Brits -- and what she thinks about the column inches the media devotes to her body:

Q: You surprised critics with your accent and performance playing London singleton Bridget Jones and now you are playing Beatrix Potter. Why are people so fascinated by how well you adopt an English accent?

A: "I don't understand it, it is just work. It is part of the process. You concentrate in a different way, I have learned, because I kept trying to do that in this last piece that I did where I play a contemporary character and I would catch myself listening to how I was forming words. Anyway, I work with Barbara Berkery (dialogue coach) and she teaches me what to do and she stands by me and she corrects me."

Katies and Tom

WEll as we all know, Katie and Toim did in fact get married and they've also got that baby.

I'll admit I'm rather surprised, I was always under the impression that Tom Cruise was infertile.

Also, isn't it slightly more traditional to get married first then have the child?

Heroes.

The heroes of the business world are the entrepreneurs, those who bring together the knowledge, capital, labour, to make new businesses actually happen.

In our ever more connected world, the internet entrepreneur is the hero of this class. Not just using new methods of doing things, not just working out how to do something better but actually inventing entirely new things for people to do with the new technologies.

Free Katie.

Free Katie is an online campaign to free Kate Holmes from the influence of Tom Cruise and Scientology. A vital and important part of the modern world, as I am sure you will agree. You can buy t-shirts, mugs and all the usual cafe press gear, as well as have a good giggle about the absurdity of the campaign itself.

The whole thing kicks off at freekatie.net and while many are amused there are some who really are not:

"...you are nothing but a bottom-feeder waste of everyone's time. What a joke this is. Is your job to try and break up every couple you can think of? You quite literally have created the worst web site I have ever seen; and trying to exploit young, vulneralbe teens to purchase ridiculous merchandise for this 'cause' is despicable.At least go after Britney and Kevin - their home videos make me sick."

I guess it all is down to you, will you save the young and lovely heroine or do you not care about the Free Katie campaign?
