Does she have an eye problem? Her eyes are always squinting-reminds me of someone whose contact lenses are very uncomfortable. ---

She looks to me like her cheeks are too big, and that’s what makes her squint all the time. Anthony Breznican said recently that her smile “resembles the result of vacuum suction inside a rubber kewpie doll.” ---

It is a little-known fact that [Renée Zellweger](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000250/) is actually a [Cabbage Patch Doll](http://www.cabbagepatchkids.com/). ---

She looks a bit “pinched”, but I still think she’s a doll. She’s radiates a sweetness that is very rare in Hollywood today. ---

She was on Letterman last night and looked damn good, but the whole interview seemed…odd. She always seems one sandwich short of a picnic. ---

“Moxy”? Isn’t that a dread illness that, in its’ only outward sign, puffs up the cheeks? Now, she might have “moxie” (either the spunk or the cola), but that’s a different things altogether. ---

It looks like she is struggling to drop a big load in her shorts…and for some reason I still find her attractive. ---

Tonight I saw Ms Zellwegger on Mr Letterman’s show. I was talking on the phone and had the sound off and noticed that Ms Zellwegger was incapable of looking at the camera. If the director switched cameras she looked elsewhere. I pointed this out to the person I was conversing with and we watched the rest of the interview, all the while mocking Ms Zellwegger’s apparent shyness. Like I mean she’s a big big star. But I think that’s it, she doesn’t like being shot front on and if she is she don’t open them peepers. ---

She’s reportedly a sharp negotiator. I read she demanded a big bonus to pork up for the Bridget Jones sequel, then she signed a deal with Weight Watchers (or some such) to lose the weight after the show. It’s one of those damsel-in-distress, damned if you don’t things. ---

The squinty eye bit is a semi normal thing for some folks… when I have my picture taken, if I don’t “over open” my eyes, I look like I’m stoned. Personally, I’m a big fan of hers, and think she’s hot, wether in Bridget Jones shape, or any other… though I like my women with some meat on them. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Kalhoun \* > \*\*I dunno…I like a girl that’ll pork up for a part. She’s got _moxy_, that Renee! \*\* By “pork up”, I assume you mean “gain enough weight to be within the clinically normal weight range fro a woman of her height and build.” Her usual appearance verges on annorexic. (But then, this _is_ Hollywood.) ---

> [@](#): > > By “pork up”, I assume you mean “gain enough weight to be within the clinically normal weight range fro a woman of her height and build.” Her usual appearance verges on annorexic. (But then, this is Hollywood.) You’re crazy. Although she was still cute in BJ she most definitely had a gut and a slight double chin. Normally though, she’s not ‘heroin-chic’ or even remotely skinny. She’s just right. Does anyone remember in My, Myself & Irene when Jim Carrey was trying to be nice but made her really uncomfortable by pointing out how she has, “squinty little eyes and pursed up lips like you’re eating a lemon…” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Hail Ants \* > **Although she was still cute in BJ she most definitely had a gut and a slight double chin.** Renee Zellweger is 5 feet, 3 inches tall. In the movie, she weighed between 136 and 138 pounds. According to all of the handy-dandy online Body Mass Index (BMI) calculators out there, at 138 pounds she’d have a BMI of **24.4**. “Overweight” is clinically defined as having a BMI of 25 or more. Therefore, Zelly’s weight during _Bridget Jones’ Diary_ was within the normal, non-overweight range for her height. ---

_Down With Love_ was perfect for her. She looks great all dolled up. But only cute-ish when not. I wonder if she likes anal? Oops! Was that out loud? [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-up-w-renee-zellweggers-eyes/220794.md?page=2)
