Renee Zellweger

HERE’S WHAT WE KNOW

As more and more accusers come out against Sean Diddy Combs, we are hearing that Jennifer Lopez has now lawyered up as she’s anticipating getting dragged into the legal proceedings. Jennifer has been told to expect a subpoena and she’s quietly retained an attorney who specializes in these matters. We also heard Diddy is terrified that J.Lo could be the final nail in his coffin and he’ll never see freedom again.

Surprise, surprise! Donald Trump made the news again for another shocking reason. His former chief of staff, John Kelly revealed that Trump once invoked Adolf Hitler and wanted a military like he had. No surprise that pathological liar Trump DENIED the story, but we are hearing this. Allegedly an audio tape of the outburst exists, so don’t be too surprised if it gets released before Election Day. As my source puts it, any Jewish person who supports Trump now will likely have second thoughts once they hear the supposed recording.

Liam Payne’s drug fueled death in Buenos Aires is still dominating the headlines as more sordid details emerge. Here’s what we just heard. His former band, One Direction, is secretly planning to reunite for either a charity concert or a new song to raise money in Liam’s honor for mental health issues. It’s a huge secret and the countless details (not to mention egos) still need to be worked out, but behind closed doors the plan is being worked on.

Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs teammate, Rashee Rice, made headlines when his mom, Marsha was charged with a misdemeanor – for allegedly swiping a package off of a neighbors’s porch. We heard that although Rashee is out for most of the season with an injury, he’s still attending games and the powers that be have made it clear he’s not to be photographed anywhere near Taylor Swift when she attends games. Interestingly enough, this edict didn’t come from Taylor’s people, but from the Chiefs execs as they don’t want to risk Taylor getting any bad publicity for attending games.

Renee Zellweger is standing by her man, Ant Anstead, who just made headlines amid his company’s bankruptcy filing and allegations of fraud on his part! Our well placed source reveals that Renee is opening up her pocketbook and offered to help Ant with the mounting expenses of the filing. Ant previously revealed that he sunk the vast majority of his money into the bespoke car company and Renee (who is much much wealthier) isn’t fazed that his fortunes could be changing. As my source explains, although they don’t have a marriage license, Renee basically considers herself married to Ant and that means for richer or poorer.

And finally the Kardashians made the news for filming a top secret project this week. While the open book family usually shares way too much information on everything, this time they’re being notoriously tight lipped. Here’s what we know. The project involving the entire family was a Super Bowl commercial. Remember those commercials are basically mini movies and cost millions to produce and millions more to air. The entire family -and of course everyone involved- had to sign NDA’s so while we don’t know for sure what product or company the spot is for we have heard some rumblings that it was a commercial for Amazon Prime. This makes perfect sense since Kim and her mom Kris Jenner are close to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

RENEE ZELLWEGER HAS A SPECIAL CO-STAR IN NEW BRIDGET JONES FILM

Renee Zellweger has a surprise for her rabid Bridget Jones fans when she films the fourth segment of the popular movie franchise. Renee is heading to London to begin production, and not only is her boyfriend Ant Anstead accompanying her to the location, but he’s APPEARING in the movie as a love interest! It’s perfect casting since Ant is from England and obviously has off the charts chemistry with Renee. For now Renee and Ant are planning to keep his appearance a surprise, but both are hoping it’s the launching pad for Ant’s aspiring career as an actor.

RENEE ZELLWEGER AND HER SILVER FOX

Renee Zellweger has two words for her boyfriend Ant Anstead… STAY GRAY! Renee and Ant, 44, have been together for two years (now they LIVE together!) and she’s 10 years older than he is, but the TV host is prematurely gray. Which is just FINE with her. When they first met, Ant used to touch up his gray hair with varying shades of browns and blondes, but now he’s sporting a full head of gray hair and Renée is delighted. According to an acquaintance, Renee is somewhat self-conscious of their decade age difference, even though she looks amazing. Ant is now sporting a full head of gray hair and not only does Renée find it sexy, but she also thinks it makes their age difference less noticeable – so she’s urging him to keep it. We’re betting he will…

RENEE ZELLWEGER APPRECIATES A WELL-DRESSED MAN (WHO DOESN’T?)

Renee Zellweger’s romance with Ant Anstead is still going strong, but there’s one thing about him she’s trying to change -his wardrobe. Although Renee is a blue jeans girl at heart, she’s always appreciated a well dressed man, so she’s been slowly trying to upgrade Ant’s closet. She spends a lot of time in Laguna Beach and has become a regular at nearby Fashion Island, working with a private shopper at Neiman Marcus to spruce up Ant’s clothes. A source says Renee appreciates Ant in a T-shirt and Jeans, but she’s not so fond of his taste in dressier clothes. She’s gotten him a few Tom Ford suits and some pricey cashmere sweaters from the high-end store. Ant is happily allowing her to dress him…

THE THING ABOUT RENEE…

At first glance this could be some celebrity’s assistant schlepping Starbucks coffee back to her boss and his friends, but it is actually a major movie star doing the schlepping. The unpretentious Renee Zellweger doesn’t mind running errands herself – she’s in New York promoting her new NBC true crime series The Thing About Pam. We were astonished by her transformation into the leading character who is much larger than Renee. Renee did NOT gain weight for the part – her look was all done with prosthetics, and it’s quite amazing. In real life Renee is still living in Laguna Beach and walking dogs with her boyfriend Ant Anstead.

RENEE ZELLWEGER HAS A LOCK ON THAT OSCAR

Renee Zellweger was in Paris this week at the premier of her film Judy, but of course she’ll be back in time for Oscar parties. Everyone seems to agree that she will take home the Best Actress Oscar, so it’s rather discouraging for the other nominees. We were not crazy about the Judy movie, and although Renee was excellent, we thought Charlize Theron was equally amazing in Bombshell. LOVE this photo of Rene cuddling somebody’s “wolf-dog” puppy after the Judy premier.

SO WHAT IF RENEE ZELLWEGER IS THE BREADWINNER IN HER RELATIONSHIP!

There’s SO much filming activity in Hollywood lately that actors have never been busier – Renee Zellweger, 49, has had one job after another. She recently finished playing Judy Garland in Judy, and now she’s signed to do a Netflix morality series called What/If. The series studies the ripple effect of what can happen if a decent person makes just one bad decision. Last we heard, Renee is still with her musician boyfriend of 6 years, Doyle Bramhall II. She was embarrassed last year when Bramhall’s divorce revealed that Renee was financially supporting him, including paying his credit card bills. Above, Renee and her girlfriends had dinner at Catch.

RENEE ZELLWEGER: DON’T FORGET ABOUT LORNA LUFT!

Renee Zellweger, 48, (Chicago) has been obsessively researching Judy Garland as she prepares to start filming Judy in February. The movie covers the time period in winter of 1968, when 47 year old Judy was preparing for her final concerts in London. She was at a low point in her career- her TV series was cancelled, her Australian tour was a disaster due to lateness and impairment, and Judy lost her role in the film Valley of the Dolls to Susan Hayward because she didn’t show up for rehearsals. The London concert series was a big deal, but Judy was not up for it. The movie deals with her relationships – both good and bad- at the time. Hopefully Renee will have a long chat with Lorna Luft, Judy’s younger daughter, who wrote in great detail about that time period in her fascinating book Me and My Shadows.

WHAT ABOUT THE WOMEN WHO LIKED HARVEY WEINSTEIN?

Really caught in the middle of a horrible scandal are the women – mostly actresses- who seemed to LIKE predator Harvey Weinstein because he helped their careers? (Whether they paid a high price for that help is not known) For instance, Anne Hathaway was Weinstein’s DARLING for a few years and Renee Zellweger and Cate Blanchett owe him bigtime for their careers. And what about Weinstein’s WIFE Georgina Chapman, co-designer of Marchesa? Harvey made SURE all the Miramax stars above, and many more, dressed in Marchesa with the help of his friend, stylist Rachel Zoe. He put Marchesa on the map. Will any of these women dare to speak out in any way?

BRIDGET JONES WOULD APPROVE OF RENEE ZELLWEGER’S BOYFRIEND

Renee Zellweger, 46, has always had a weakness for musicians, but this time it looks like she found a keeper. She’s been with Doyle Bramhall II for four years now and they seem very happy. Doyle, 47, is actually a busy and working musician and songwriter, and he was born in Texas like Renee. Renee can next be seen in The Whole Truth with Keanu Reeves. (Bonus: Doyle is actually a handsome guy under all that hair)
