Renee Zellweger Gets Married

Written by Meryl
Published May 10, 2005

Bridget Jones has finally found her man in real life and he's country music star, Kenny Chesney, 37. Looks like the 36-year-old Renee Zellweger won't follow the foosteps of her famous movie character. They married on Monday on the island of St. John in the U.S. Virigin Islands. Miraculously, this is the first marriage for both.The Oscar-winning acress and the singer met last January at the Concert of Hope, a benefit for tsunami victims.

The couple is delaying the honeymoon as Chesney prepares to go on a 46-date, three-month tour in the U.S. For those of us not country music fans, Chesney has two CDs in the Billboard Top 10 chart and the Country Music Association named him the entertainer of the year last year. We have a Bennifer and apparently these two are affectionally known as RenKen. 1, 2, 3... Aww...

Zellweger won best supporting actress Oscar for Cold Mountain and was nominated for Oscars for Chicago and Bridget Jones's Diary. She was also in the hit movie, Jerry Maguire with Tom Cruise We hope their marriage is "All That Jazz."

meryl's notes doesn't cover entertainment, but she's a native Texan just like Zellweger. You want something more personal? Ok, ok... try Bionic Ear.

Kenny Chesney!? I thought she was dating that White Stripes guy with all the tattoos. Sheesh, it's impossible to keep up with these showbiz romances. They seem to come and go at a dizzying pace. What next? Garth Brooks and Angelina Jolie and

Come to think of it, I seem to recall a certain Pretty Woman who once married the bluesly country guy with the Ichabod Crane-esque visage. Doesn't bode to well for Kenny and Renee, does it?

Kenny Chesney? Hilarious, though I'm not sure why. Thanks M!

#3 — May 10, 2005 @ 09:41AM — JR

He's not gay?

#4 — May 10, 2005 @ 09:42AM — Matt [URL]

I'm giving this 8 months. That's generous.

#5 — May 10, 2005 @ 09:46AM — Eric Olsen

I'm giving it a trip to Mexico

#6 — May 10, 2005 @ 11:09AM — scaramouche [URL]

I dunno. As someone who opted long ago (18 years, to be exact) for clean-living and wholesome over brooding and dangerous, I think Renee may have may made a good choice.

Plus she looks like a bulldog and only gets worse with time. She should be happy anyone married her at all.

That's an enormously generous and warm-hearted thing to write.

Truthfully Eric, I find her the most annoying actress in Hollywood, and that's in a pool that includes the absolutely unbearable Brittney Murphy.

I mean, it's nice that she got married and all. Maybe it will keep her tied up so she doesn't make any more movies.

I was a big fan of her around the time Nurse Betty rolled out. She was cute and low key. Now that she's a megapaid Hollywood heavy hitter, it seems she's lost some of that charm.

#11 — May 10, 2005 @ 15:12PM — Nick Jones

Oh. My. Gawd! Something I actually agree with Dave Nalle on!

Chest pains...ow, my left arm hurts too...everything's going dark...Dad, is that you?...what is this place.............

This is the guy who sings, "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy." Come to find out he had a crush on her since Jerry Maguire (no wonder that Had Me At Hello Song came across as a complete rip-off.)

And she might not be everyone's cup of tea, but to say she's so ugly that it's a miracle that someone would marry her is, well, petty and contrary to logic. Not everyone will find her attractive, but she did not get to be an A-list actress without being considered by a lot of people to be somewhat pleasant to look at.

Anyhow, I wish them the best! (And like Mark Darcy, I hope he loves
Renee "just as she is!"

Aw, I like her because she looks like a normal person in some films. But she is far too skinny half the time.

#14 — May 10, 2005 @ 18:13PM — visualsimplicity [URL]

She was hot back in Empire Records and still looks pretty good I think.

I am SO shocked! I am a fan of Kenny and have been for awhile and I know that he can do SO much better! I think that she found out he has liked her for awhile and just went with it because he was there! I really don't think it will last! I hate it for Kenny but thats what he gets for making a huge mistake! Come on! They don't even go together! She is SO ugly and the worst actress. I did not like her before all this but now it just tops it all off!

#16 — May 10, 2005 @ 18:21PM — Nick Jones

"She is SO ugly and the worst actress."

I can't say anything about her acting, since I've avoided seeing anything with her in it, but you've got the first part right. She's got a face like a clenched fist.

#17 — May 10, 2005 @ 18:23PM — Dave Nalle [URL]

She may look like a clenched fist most of the time, but when she cries she looks like an infected boil.

I used to think that she was attractive
at one time.Like in "Love & A .44" where
she was running around in severe Daisy
Dukes for most of the movie.But it looks
like she has had some plastic surgery &
it didn't work for the better.At 36 yrs
old this does not make any sense to me.

She looks as though the skin on her face
is way too tight and all scrunched up or
as you guys put it so succinctly:"Like a
clenched fist". Infected boil is taking
it a little too far,although if you were
opining on Rosie O'Donnell then it would
be an understatement and an insult to
infected boils everwhere.

would be putting it kindly

#19 — May 10, 2005 @ 18:42PM — Nicolette Rivers [URL]

Being supposedly ugly and a bad actress is what makes her unworthy of him? I picked my lifemate all wrong...looks and acting ability. Hmmm...

#20 — May 10, 2005 @ 18:50PM — -E [URL]

Geez, some of you people are disgustingly superficial.

#21 — May 10, 2005 @ 21:23PM — Dave Nalle [URL]

She was much cuter when she was a waitress in one of our local strip clubs.

I've been a Kenny fan ever since his debut back in 1995. One of the best male country artists. Renee is a great actress. Her line from Jerry McGuire "You had me at hello" inspired Kenny to write his #1 single "You Have Me From Hello". How ironic that they would end up together. I wish them all the best and hope that peoples negativity falls on deaf ears.

She looks like she bowling balls implanted into her cheeks. What a pick. He could have found someone better than her. She is doing it for the publicity.

#24 — May 17, 2005 @ 18:01PM — xmelax

Oops! I meant to say it looks like she had bowling balls implanted in to her cheeks. ( I missed a word).

"Geez, some of you people are disgustingly superficial."

Sometimes I can analyze and intellectualize my dislike for a performer, politician, writer or what-have-you. Sometimes, as in this case, I just go with my gut feeling (don't get me started on Julia Stiles!)

#26 — October 31, 2005 @ 14:12PM — Zelly

I love very Renee . Sometime I would like to see .But it can and See :P I am from poland. And I do not know very english too :(. Papapapa moze moje marzenie sie spełni oby :P tego pewnie nie rozczytacie chyba ze umiecie polski

I think Rene is a superb actress. However, when I watched some of her movies I also could not help but think "wow she is overweight and super ugly." I think because most people are used to seeing beautiful people up on the screens so when they see Rene, it's like "wow." However, I've seen some pictures of her more done up and when she lost weight, and she looks so much better.

And if Kenny Chesney loves her, so be it. He finds beauty in her, even though we don't. I hope they have a happy life together and that their marriage actually lasts unlike most of the Hollywood stars out there.
