I know I probably shouldn't admit to it, being the sassy, sorted thirty something that I undoubtedly am, but I couldn't help but be just a little bit happy that Renee Zellwegger will be donning the big pants (and presumably about three stone in weight) again to reprise the part of everyone's favourite neurotic chubby singleton, Bridget Jones.
I think I love Bridget just for the line in The Edge of Reason about spending her time with two men following her break up from Mark D'arcy - one called Ben and one called Jerry! Not to mention the fact that every film has Colin Firth in it, in a wet shirt, so who's complaining!?
The debate over whether it's healthy for Renee to chubb up every time she plays Bridget will no doubt be played out again and again in the media between now and the end of next year, when the next instalment is due to start fliming. But actresses LOSE weight to play movie roles all of the time and nobody bats an eyelid.
Anyway, it's not just me, is it? I know most of my male friends seem to think that voluptuous Bridget, even in her granny pants, is way sexier than competitive-dieting Renee. What do you think?
