Consolation Champs

Was dragged last night to see Bridget Jones’s Diary, and actually enjoyed it. I’ve got to give credit to Renee Zellweger, who not only put on 25 pounds, but then paraded around in front of a camera in her underwear, too. It would have been better, though, if they’d been able to cast an actor who didn’t have to gain the weight. Reason? Overheard:

Woman 1: You know, she went from a size 6 to a size 10 to do the movie.
Woman 2: Well, I’m a size 10.
