You know if Renee Zellweger needs a couple of bucks, I'm happy to lend it to her. I mean I think all of us would if it would save us from having to look at her wearing an outfit like she wore to the Golden Globes. I can only think she must need money because of her recent statements about Hanes underwear. Victoria goes for the Armani bucks and Renee goes for Hanes. Whatever works for you.
It seems that while filming a movie in Winnipeg, Renee experienced cold. Winnipeg cold. Winter Winnipeg cold. For someone who doesn't have any fat stored anywhere on her body I could see how this posed a problem.
"It was a whole different kind of experience. I had to develop new survival skills. It was a whole new language for the biological things that happen. Who knew that pantyhose could be so very important - three or four pairs at a time."
"I never imagined that I would rejoice at the pantyhose laid out on the bed by wardrobe every morning. They were essential. I would not be here today were it not for the Hanes."
It is like the company wrote it for her. Wow, that is some serious sucking up. I guess she sees how much they have paid Michael Jordan for his commercials and thinks she can get some of that action. Umm, Renee, I don't think you are going to get Michael Jordan money. You might get a couple of bucks and maybe a card good for free underwear for life, but I don't think this is going to be the money making scheme you think it will be.
I don't really have a problem with someone sucking up to a company for money. I just think she could have chosen a company which would have probably paid more or had a product she would enjoy more. Hi Blackberry!!
The part about this that gets me is this. Look at what she says happened every morning. The wardrobe people laid out her pantyhose for her every morning. Sure, the people in wardrobe who are either working for free or practically nothing have to get out of bed at 430am and lay out her pantyhose so the rich one doesn't freeze. God forbid that Renee could put on some damn pantyhose without their assistance in the morning. And she would rejoice? Who the hell says that in their day to day conversation. Even when I see a 3x3 at In-N-Out I don't rejoice. I drool, I growl, but I don't rejoice. She just comes across as the most insincere person ever. I'm surprised she didn't have the wardrobe people warm the pantyhose every morning so she wouldn't catch a chill.
I'm Baaaaaaccckkk!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I missed you guys!
Luv ya Enty, but you're way way way over thinking this. Her comment about pantyhose merited a Quick Hits at most.
ReplyDeleteShe would make a KILLING at endorsing a Tequila maker.
ReplyDeleteShe always looks like she just sucked an entire lime.
Hey Renee! You can have my One Hanes Place catalog so you can buy in bulk.
ReplyDeleteI live in Winnipeg -- so thanks for writing 'Winnipeg' and not the generic 'Canada' that Americans usually write when speaking of a Canadian city.
ReplyDeleteI sorta liked her dress. It had to be hard to walk and sit in the skirt. It's the white top that ruins it. I liked her hair too.
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with Hanes? L'Eggs? Or even the no-name hose at the grocery store? When my ass is cold, I'm layering.
I like how she is talking about "developing survival skills". As if they don't have nice hotels in Winnipeg and she had to live in a teepee, eating only food that she hunted and gathered. In her Hanes.
ReplyDeleteWhy are people so suprised that it is cold in Canada in the winter? They don't call it "Winterpeg" for nothing.
ReplyDeleteI'm from Winnipeg too, and I'm glad she was there and I wasn't. Though I can't imagine that four pairs of pantyhose was much better than one pair. If I ever saw a woman's legs in that weather, I'd think she was crazy.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back PM.
ReplyDeleteHanes makes pantyhose? Pantyhose keeps you warm? Huh? What?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm from Manitoba too, and NEVER are 4 pairs of pantyhose gonna keep you warm, no way no how.
ReplyDelete4 pairs of pants perhaps. With lining. And the hide of the moose we just killed. Outside our igloo. To feed the sled dogs.
Maybe she was filming an outdoor scene that required her to be in a dress with nylons? In that case four pairs is certainly better than one pair (or bare legs). Synthetic fiber traps heat. Layers trap heat. A little bit is better than nothing.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't four pairs of tights make her look a pound or two overweight? ;)
ReplyDeleteI remember watching Jerry Maguire and thinking how adorable she was(back when she was relatively unknown, at least to my PG audience). It's weird how she's been in the spotlight for a while though and I feel like I know hardly anything about her. And I'm a celebrimaniac-that is not me tooting my own horn, just sayin'
ReplyDeleteWinnipeg,born and partly raised here! represent! lol.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, has the bitch not heard Hanes makes long johns?
Renee, while you're in town head on over to Salisbury House for a chilli nip and some pie, you need it.
Winnipeg represent!
ReplyDeletejax, I was at Salisbury House on St. Anne's and Fermor just this afternoon for pie and coffee. Beautiful day today - barely below freezing.
(The rest of you talk amongst yourselves.)
New survival skills?
ReplyDeleteBuy some thermals, drink some Tim's and suffer like the rest of us, buttercup.
"represent"....
ReplyDeleteseriously?!?? LMAO
Hey there my fellow Peggers! Tell me, is this not something an XL double double wouldn't help?
ReplyDeleteWest End Girl - then she would look slightly underweight. Works out.
ReplyDeleteYou know I've been reading this blog for some time and it wasn't until now that I realized Snau-trag (as I pronounced it in my head) is snot rag. Coming from the person who pronounced Titleist golf balls as "tit leist" is not that surprising.
What Snautrag said.....dumb broad should've gotten some Tim's & some longjohns.
ReplyDeleteI still kinda want to see the movie tho....I LURVE HCJr.!
I have trouble believing she left her house voluntarily. The stylist must've been holding her family hostage or something. Right?
ReplyDeleteI gotta defend Renee on one thing-and one thing only (the crap about the pantyhose keeping her warm...yeah right). She is a native of Katy, Texas-which is essentially a suburb of Houston (yes, it's it's own city-so is Jersey Village (where I'm from), but nobody outside Texas has any clue where those places are...I digress...so she's used to HOT, VERY humid weather, pretty much year-round. I totally understand her comment about having to develop new survival skills b/c I do NOT do well in very cold weather-hell, I'm still not "used" to the hot sticky crap I have to deal with day-after-day & I've lived here my entire life! (just over 30 years). Her choice of 3 or 4 pairs of panyhose as what she claims saves her....that's a little goofy, but I'm gonna have to defer to our Winnipeg natives/residents to answer that one. Just saying I can imagine just how much of a shock a cold Winnepeg winter would be for a native Houstonian.
ReplyDeleteWe have a large population of African immigrants in Minneapolis, and they're darned smart about the weather - layers, layers and more layers, and I'm not talking about panty hose.
ReplyDeleteA fellow Winnipegger here... and yeah, it can get pretty cold here (ice crystals forming in the bloodstream is never fun!), but I've never had to wear 4 pairs of pantyhose! Or know anyone who has! We're having a warm spell for the past few days, and I actually saw a guy wearing shorts at the university yesterday, I guess it goes to show us locals can take the cold pretty well compared to celebrity visitors.
ReplyDeleteOr we're just really, really insane.
WOW!
ReplyDeleteBeen reading a long time; not a lot to add but, suddenly, you're all talking about Winnipeg, mine own home town. LOL!
Hey Charlene, I hiked to Sal's from St. Marys/Fermor area many a time when I lived in that part of town. St. Norbert now.
Alicia, many strange sights to be seen at Tims in E2 and UMSU. I have a great story about a *wear shorts until Christmas bet*!
Oh yeah, Renee. She wouldn't be here if her people hadn't laid out pantyhose? And the name of the movie I'm never going to see is??
HarrietHellfire and ElsieFire, your comments rock! Total LOL!
