By Liz Gunn || Renee Zellweger may have just edged out Jennifer Grey in the competition for “Most Unrecognizable Celebrity Face Due to Copious Amounts of Plastic Surgery”. FITS founding editor has a not-so-mild obsession with the celebrity’s sculpted stems, but he may want to cast his gaze upward for a moment. Honestly, raise your hand if you would have known from the photo below that this was the same delightful, cheery blonde from Jerry Maguire. I realize that movie is nearly 20 years old, but what ever happened to aging gracefully?
I know people in Hollywood don’t typically like to age gracefully, as evidenced by the faces of people like Bruce Jenner, Melanie Griffith, Jennifer Grey, Janice Dickinson and now Renee Zellweger. But as a celebrity, you would have to think it causes more problems than it solves when people literally do not recognize you! I personally don’t see anything wrong with the occasional nip and tuck, but it looks like Renee has gone too far this time.
Plastic surgery is typically sought out to make someone look better, younger or more sexually appealing. Unfortunately, I think her doctor(s) might have missed the mark on this one. She doesn’t look deformed or “botched” like some cosmetic surgery nightmares, she just looks completely different – and not necessarily in a good way. I’m happy to report that her body, on the other hand, is just as smoking as ever.
You can see a gallery of before and after photos at the Daily Mail Online. The difference is alarming. What would Bridget Jones say?

All that work and she managed to maintain that look like someone just yanked the straw in a glass of lemonade from her mouth.
When the photo was taken, she was whistling the tune, “Put On a Happy Face.”
I dig it when you speak of her body as being hot.
Woah, she looks like Hannibal Lecter now.
I had a crush on her after the movie “Me, Myself & Irene.”
I’d still hit that (although she may have slipped a place or two in line).
You look at women as nothing more than sex objects. Sad. Very sad indeed. And please don’t tell us any escapades in which you may have embarked upon at one time or another.
Get over yourself.
See what happens when you have more money than brains.
Dear Liz Gunn…………..what are you doing..?
Really……? To be a mom and a concerned South Carolina citizen who is FEMALE and you want to reflect upon a celebrity “refreshment” treatment..? Liz, my dear, have you ever heard of “Young Life”..? http://www.younglife.org/Pages/default.aspx
If you cruise through the Post and Courier here ( http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20141021/PC16/141029904/1177 ) and wonder what goes on at Young Life coed activities and then stop to consider how a coach can be “relieved” for smashing watermelons then you are not being a “proactive MOM”..!!
Liz……wake the freak UP..!! If you want to cover a woman’s “refreshment” facial then might we suggest you focus on Charleston County School District Super …Mrs. Nancy McGinley..!?!
Liz……your job is to generate web hits for Wil Folks…PERIOD…!!!!!! Dare to wonder if Lindsey Graham is going to be asked how many of our TROOPS are serving watermelon to “terrorists” in Iraq, or Syria, or Ukraine…? Are you going to settle for the Post and Courier serving up such fluff media for your fellow FEMALE South Carolina readers to consume..!?
Liz…….
you should be institutionalized.
They won’t take him. Too far gone!
LOL……….bravo heels1785
+10 point and a lab coat lapel pin…..
Mr. heel………I am institutionalized…!
Oh …
Pish and tosh, Phillip. Pish and tosh.
There, I said it!
I’ve never heard of her.
And none of the old, unemployed white dudes who live on this comments section will still never even get close to being with a woman half as good looking as this.
As apposed to a troll like you whose mommy won’t let out of the basement to use your dick.
I’m guessing that’s a problem you have with your own children. or I could be a retired troll like you who chooses to stay in the basement with a dick that doesn’t work.
You can guess all you want I Don’t Care, You Don’t Matter.
Don’t have many basements down here but since you’re a troll that’s not from around here you wouldn’t know that.
BTW what are you going to come back as the next time “If your dick even works”?
She turns off the parental controls long enough for him to access the porn sites. Then she goes down and helps him use it.
“none of the old . . . still never”
You do realize that if what you say is true, this means Renee is one busy girl. I’m guessing there are lots of “old unemployed white dudes” on this thread.
Yeah. young Gold Diggers never go for rich old men that are a zillion times their age.
Actually, I’ve had better, albeit some time ago. FWIW, I wouldn’t fuck her with your dick, that is if it even works.
Linda Gray just got a simple nose job. No comparison.
Do you mean Jennifer Grey? The comparison is between the fact that they both were unrecognizable after their procedures. Jennifer Grey actually joked about that in a late-night interview. She wasn’t getting jobs because people had no idea who she was.
Yeah. Brain fartage. Thanks for the correction.
I was just saying I don’t see the Grey nose job as being “copious amounts of plastic surgery.” But yeah, it did for sure render her unrecognizable.
She still “southern” fine.
Why all the obsession with a woman’s looks? Those seeking “refreshment” are just pawns of our society’s misplaced fascination with youth.
2 Generally accepted facts: What a man does for a living is as important as how a woman looks and presents herself. Being that women generally age faster (and worse) than men…well..it is what it is.
Nobody really cares if a rich old dude is fat and bald. A fat old ugly woman? Well..you tell me who is more sought after.
I didn’t make the rules, I just play by them.
wiskey tango foxtrot. where am I , buzzfeed?
I know you’re not new here – so how did you miss the tagline “FITS News – Politics, Sports & Pop Culture”? That’s been around a lot longer than I have on this site.
Lucky Kenny…
Ugly is as ugly does.
An eye lift hardly constitutes “copious amounts of plastic surgery.” She looks fine. What’s the big deal?
An eye lift?? She looks like a completely different person. That’s more than an eye lift buddy.
Just going by the article linked in the post: “Dr Alex Karidis of London’s Karaidis Clinic , who has never treated Renee, told MailOnline he believes Renee may have had an upper eye lift.”
Damn girl, you don’t eat persimmons till the frost falls on them.
But what could the actress have done anyway? Like many entertainers (never mind mere mortals) her looks were bound to be criticized as is the passing rite of any one of us in the public eye. Too fat, too skinny. Too taut, too wrinkly. Too fake too aged.
Who can ever win in such a situation if one is forced to live for the sake of others expectations, which sadly is the lot of many women, especially once they reach past the age of 45 as they are reminded over and over their value is contingent on their sexuality and their youth. Yet in the end it’s a woman’s right to dictate how she appears in the public eye, a right that the media insist on demanding as their own….

wtf? that isn’t zellweger
I never understood how Zellweger got to be a movie star with her “looks”. It finally hit me though. On occasion, a movie like “Throw Mama From The Train” or “Misery” comes up and they need a “leading lady” to play the part. Renee is on the waiting list.
