Zero Girl

woman-sad-6[Blind Gossip] This very famous blonde actress is depressed.

She had a big career for many years. Three to four films a year at her peak, plus a major award or two. She is also one of the nicer people in Hollywood. Good work ethic, treats her colleagues well, etc.

Then she stepped away for a bit of a rest.

When she made her big “come back” this year, she thought everyone would embrace her and her projects. Instead, her first project flopped and she faced criticism over her changed looks.

[Her female contemporaries] each have a dozen projects in production or in development. [Our actress] has one in post… and she’s booked ZERO new projects since [her newest film] flopped. That’s not good.

Ouch. No wonder she’s depressed!

    This is definitely Rene Zellweger. She should try non-Hollywood ventures, ie, cable shows, T.V., Netflix series, etc.

    Everybody thinks it’s because of her plastic surgery. I disagree. Nobody cares about that. What they do care about is that she left the business toward the end of her prime and now she’s out-aged the roles she wants and expects. It’s not going to happen – that ship has sailed. She’s also quite self-important and writes op-eds like she’s some kind of intellectual…

  2. KCeagle says

    Yep, Zellweger. Charlize Theron is an example of aging gracefully. If you get facial work done…be VERY mindful of any work performed on the eyes, cheekbone implants can be a face ravager..and too much botox.

  4. Mamamarjo says

    Rennée, but are you a good person if you milk the suicide of your ex for promo and decoy for having plastic surgery?

  5. amagod121 says

    Rene Zellweger. Look she is almost 50, so she has had a long run in Hollywood. I think her film days may be behind her. But that doesn’t mean she can’t still try for roles! What about something juicy in a small, independent film? Something fun, since she seems to shine in that environment?

  10. icantquityoularry says

    Is it Renee Zellwegger?

    I would tell her I really enjoyed BJB and that hollywood is incredibly sexist in the way they treat aging men over aging females but what’s new? It is what it is and there is more to life than being famous and to find some more things to do that you enjoy if hollywood doesn’t embrace you. Good luck ?❤

  13. BetteBoo25 says

    Renee Zellweger. I don’t think Bridget Jones Baby or whatever it was called did that well at the box office.

  21. Raoul Duke says

    It has to be Renee Z., I like her she had me at Empire Records. I’ve read all the books/columns/films about Bridget, both the last film and book ruined the whole character.
    The lost movie was like they stole the plot from a Koean josei manga.

  23. artistsnow says

    Uma Thurman. It is so sad. She is/was one of my fav actresses. She * with her face. WHY?????

    I can’t even figure out what she did but it is different and not in a good way. :-{

    My advice: one foot in front of the other, one day at a time. Meds, therapy and distraction. This could be situational depression which is very similar regular ole’ depression except it hits people who may not be usually depressed.

    And…change your face back!

  28. MrFahrenheit says

    Zellwegger

    Advice: Quit the plastic surgery now, don’t deny it, embrace it if it makes you feel better, and move on.

  31. BettyLou says

    Renee zellweger
    Don’t get anymore work done – don’t look for main roles – look for character roles
    Maybe time for tv work

  35. Vidalia Q Intrigue says

    Renee Zellwiger

    Advice: Do a movie that involves a major appearance change–like playing an alien, wearing old-age makeup, or doing a biopic that features a physical makeover–so the attention shifts from her changed looks to her acting chops.

    Actress: Renee Zelwegger

    [Optional] What advice would you give our actress? You are quite talented and the industry you are in is tough and unforgiving so stay strong. Many have not made it to where you are and for that be proud of what you have achieved.

  44. Peps66 says

    Renee Zelwegger

    She’s achieved a lot in her career, I would hope she’s in a position to enjoy her life on her own terms outside of Hollywood. But maybe she misses the work?

  47. Proloz24 says

    Renee Zellwegger? Her looks have changed and she took a hiatus. Bridget Jones baby wasn’t a giant flop though.

    Advice, nothing in life is guaranteed. Find happiness in other things.

  49. Pambala says

    Renée Zellweger
    she is obsessed with being part of the size zero club

    Advice: eat some protein, love yourself, and get some new PR folks to rebrand you.

  52. GiveUpTheGossip says

    Renee Zellwegger
    Advice: Retire. Sorry…you screwed up your and there’s no going back. I loved
    Bridgey Jones, but I was distracted by how bad she looked in the latest movie.

  53. Pierre Latin says

    RENEE ZWELLGER.

    Optional: RETIRE. Hollywood is too mean in women in her late 40s like her.

  58. delray74 says

    Renee Z. Let’s face it her time in the sun is over. Heh. She has two choices. Mentor some up and comings as a producer or just go away gracefully and enjoy her millions. If she has any left.

  60. VT1415 says

    Renee Zellweger.

    I don’t know, it’s touch in general and worse when you mess with your face too much [see courtney cox]. I suggest television

  69. SouthJerseyGirl says

    Renee Zellweger.

    She should do a Broadway musical or play and show off her acting/singing/dancing chops.

  70. spellbinding says

    Actress: Renee Zellweger?

    Blind mentions awards, and she does have an academy award. She also has shown a different looking face and far as I know that last Bridget Jones movie was the only movie she’s had out this year. Also yup she has one film in post production too. Soo….that’s my guess.

    [Optional] What advice would you give our actress?

    Just live your life, be secure in who you are, and do the best you can.

  72. phoenixfire says

    Actress: Renée Zellweger

    Optional: I would tell her to keep trying. It’s going to take time to build her career back up. Times have changed so she’s going to have to do the whole social media thing, as well as networking, paparazzi shots, etc. Maybe she could do an interview about her changed looks and do a tell all? Basically she has to work to become bankable and “relevant” again before she can get her career back on track.

  73. bbatty says

    I hope this isn’t Renee Zellweger. I really like her and would love to see more movies with her in them.

  74. pretzel says

    Renee Zellweger.

    Unfortunately that’s Hollywood! You get blasted for looking ‘normal’ or ageing, then ridiculed for plastic surgery that Hollywood led you to.

  77. LeelooDallas1 says

    That picture looks exactly like Rene Zellweger 1.0. So Rene FTW!

    She should have spoken to Jennifer Grey regarding changing the look that made her famous.

  79. Rapunzel says

    Actress: Renee Zellweger

    Advice: Own up to the fact that you got plastic surgery. It’s a bad start to return to the spotlight and immediately start lying.

  83. erininla35 says

    Renee Z
    Don’t get plastic surgery that a) makes you unrecognizable, and b) is all anyone would think about when watching your movies. Oh, and get on an antidepressant if you’re not already.

  93. stolidog says

    Rene Zellwegger. She should ask Helen Hunt for advice. No, seriously, Hollywood is gross. she should read some books and hire someone to turn one into a screenplay for herself.

  100. annlar says

    For some resson I thought about Meg Ryan, but surely she is to old for this blind. At her age, actresses should be lucky to book a job…:(

  104. mickeymammoth says

    Renée Zellweger. I would try to line up indie projects to rebuild my cred. Even as a supporting actress.

  105. mystic1 says

    Renee Zellweger. I think she should be honest about her surgery when asked. Her responses have been ridiculous.

  107. KarmaFlower says

    Renee Zellweger.

    Why not try something other than rom-coms? Consider supporting roles that have meaty potential. Look into live theater-you’ve done that before, right?
    There are some fabulous short run projects on cable networks that are amazing. For example, a 4-6 longer episode eries. Franco did the one on Kennedy and time travel recently and it was wonderful! I think you could shine. Take care of your health first. Ignore shallow fakes. You’re a great actress & an even better person…

  111. Moonpie says

    Renee Zellweger Her new Bridget movie flopped. It should have never been made.
    Optional: She is slowly morphing back into her new face. She’s probably not keeping up with refreshers to maintain her new face. My advice would be to ensure her money is well invested. If she lives in a mega home, downsize to something she can manage. She may also want to try out behind the cameras work.

  114. Goodgrief says

    Renee Zellweger, a little plastic surgery is fine in your business, but don’t do anything drastic or change your look completely.

  116. jonesing says

    Rene Z
    Don’t ever touch your eyes again! She was so cute, now she kinda looks like any other person.

    • 1Bellebottomblues says

      Renee Z
      I see a lot of comments on here referring to her ‘rom com’ career…..she actually
      is much more than that. Very talented actress. Remember Cold Mountain?
      She was a revelation in that movie, and I never looked at her the same way again.
      Won the Academy award for it also.
      And she was fantastic in Chicago, a musical. Hopefully she will rise above all this, she certainly has the talent.
      Sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

  118. spikelb says

    Renée Zellweger

    Advice: Accept the the fact that there would be consequences to changing your looks so drastically.

  125. lovefifteen says

    Renee Zellweger. She stepped away for 6 years and changed her face too much. I doubt she will back to her former level of success.

    Advice: do a Broadway show, do a season on a prestigious cable TV show, or start going for supporting roles in anything relevant.

    • mpizzle says

      I agree with this advice.

      I don’t care that she changed her face. It didn’t make me think any differently of her.

    • katheryn says

      Very good advice. With the amount of money she must have, she can do anything she wants, start a business, start renovating homes, do something you are really interested in. What does she expect taking 6 years off, you will be forgotten in that industry, she should have kept a toe in, doing one project per year just to stay in the lime light a little, wasn’t a smart business move.

  131. Silverdun says

    Renee Zellwegger.

    Advice? Retire with her millions, enjoy life.

    She messed majorly with her face, what does she expect? It was the same with that girl played “baby” in the dance movie. Plus she’s always been vanilla. Move on.

    • MikeInSanJose says

      Jennifer Grey!

      Agreed. She (Jennifer) may not have liked her nose, but it was her most distinctive feature. I still don’t recognize her anymore until I see her name in the credits for anything she’s done since that nose job.

      Really sad, too. LOVED her in Ferris Beuler and Dirty Dancing… She was unique and really stood out. Now she’s just like anyone else.

  136. Delightful says

    Renee Zellweger. It’s too bad, because she is a good actress and a good person. Too nice for Hollywood. She should just retire and enjoy life.

  140. Knoxvilleman says

    Renee Zellweger. Yeah, she’s back. So what?

    Maybe now is the time to come forward with her Kenny Chesney stories.

    That would surely kickstart her career, again.

  141. brobdingnagian says

    Rene Zellwegger

    Come clean about what you did to your eyes. People like and respect honesty and
    hopefully more roles will come her way.

    • Squeezes99 says

      I think it’s her age more than her eyes. She’s “old” by Hollywood standards, and she hasn’t aged as well as some of her counterparts. She could probably get a lot of work as a supporting or character actress now.

    • goodgollyholly says

      I think asking someone about plastic surgery is rude. It really is nobody’s business. When people ask me questions I consider rude or none of their business, I give snarky responses. Same thing with someone’s sexuality, political choices, income, etc… Personally, I always found her annoying, so changing her look didn’t change my opinion of her. The press would never ask a male actor about their plastic surgery – hypocritical.

    • flower says

      I never cared for her, either. I always found her to be somewhat haughty and condescending, and for that reason I avoid all of her projects, appearances, etc.

  142. dynamodavid says

    Rene Zellwinger?

    Living with BPD is stressful for everyone around you. Strive on through the noise…
