I do! Or at least I found her charming in Jerry Maguire, which, much to my shame, I liked a lot, and also in Bridget Jones. Something awful appears to have happened to her, though.
Hmm. This is where it occurs to me that I've never seen her in a movie.
They really will let anyone have a blog nowadays.
Country singer Kenny Chesney, 37, does!!
After a whirlwind four-month courtship, Zellweger and Chesney exchanged vows May 9 on the Caribbean island of St. John, where Chesney has a holiday home.
The couple met at the Concert of Hope tsunami relief benefit Jan. 15, celeb news show "The Insider" reports.
Zellweger wore a wedding dress by her favorite designer Carolina Herrera.
It's the first marriage for both stars.
I need to know if Chesney married for love.
I do, but as I recall, my girlfriend at the time was accusing me of having an erectile dyfunction problem,so I discounted that particular crush. Am I speaking your language, ogged?
Indeed, I remember like it was yesterday your girlfriend accusing you of having an erectile dysfunction problem.
Dare we ask what inspired this seemingly-random question? And what is your experience with her if not in movies?
What? She didn't have you at hello?
At hello he thought she was sweet, and unobjectionably earnest, and he wanted to hear more about her work, but it wasn't like he wanted to date her, so he e-mailed and she never replied, and hence this post.
I liked her in something I saw her in, but I can't remember what that was.
Sheila O'Malley had a great rant about her.
I liked her in Nurse Betty. She should stick to playing simpleminded delusional Middle Americans being pursued by mismatched teams of assassins. Or she should be one of those in real life!!!!
There you go, Sheila hears me, but apparently she does have fans, right here among the most treacherous commenters in blogdom.
I'm with you, ogged. she was pretty good in nurse betty, but something about her creeps me out, and I am beyond bored with her weight loss/gain brouhaha. but I love the beach boys.
Cocking her head sideways and doing that old-lady smirk thing is tedious, especially since Paris picked up on ot.
I like her in the movies, but apparently I'm a bit of an outlier in these parts.
Liked her in Jerry Maguire and Price Above Rubies, but not in anything else.
She needs to stop eating lemons before every scene.
Renee's success baffles me less than that of Keanu Reeves.
Hmmm, "Renee's" and "Reeves" differ only slightly. Coincidence?
I think it's kind of cool that she has such a long univocalic name.

Pure geek poetry right there, Weiner.
Also, I, like others, liked Renee (or "the Z-Dawg" as we like to say in these parts) in Jerry Maguire, mainly because she seemed hot. I say "seemed" because I have yet to come across an image of her outside that particular movie which could be construed as confirming that impression. Plus, the whole Bridget Jones monstrosity makes it hard to even appreciate her as an actress, hotness or non-hotness aside.
"Does anybody like Renée Zellweger?"
I've never met her, myself.
I think it's kind of cool that she has such a long univocalic name.
Maybe you should change your name to Metthew Weener? (Such an inspired move would also put to bed that whole "rhymes with meaner or miner?" question)
A name can be too univocalic, you know. Which is why I no longer go by
Stonedpope Broachploat.
Is "univocalic" really the appropriate term? Univowellic maybe?
And SB, didn't you used to also go by Steamedpeep Breachpleat, or was the your wastrel of a brother?
We do not speak of Steamedpeep, the black sheep Breachpleat.
And whatever happened to ol' Stainedpate Breakplate?
If I recall, since he was tall and awkward and shod himself in clogs, he'd often totter and bonk his noggin on the rotten logs of his lodge. Then that old fraud would flop on his cot and slobber with snot and mawkish sobs.
He was a real pain in the assonance, wasn't he.
Actually, I think you have Stainedpate mixed up with Staunchpop Broadplop.
I was going to bring up Stunnedpup Budgepus, but then I thought better of it.
Still very sure I've never met her, and pretty much don't know what she's like, and thus have no opinion about her likeability. Also: there's something called "acting" those folks do, which possibly might interfere with judgement as to knowing the real person via the performance. Probably a crazy idea, though, that. (And damn glad I'm not an actor, receiving personal judgements from people who don't know me, although, oddly, as a blogger....)
Y'know, if it was Stainedpip Bridgeplate, that would be a chiastic handle.
And if it were "Stand, Pipe, Bridge, Plate", it would be polysyndetic.
asyndetic
Yes, I suppose the polysyndetic version would be Stand and Pipe and Bridge and Plate. Pleasantly rhythmic, but a mouthful.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair / Stand and pipe and bridge and plate
These versions have a much more pagan feel than does the Simon & Garfunkel rendition.
Too bad about the melismatic "bridge".
