Unfortunately things have been kind of quiet the past few days in the world of Renee. But being a new site we have been working on becoming affiliated with some of the best sites on the internet ... here is a list of some of our newest affiliates:

When local actress Tracy McMahon found herself face-to-face with Renee Zellweger, the first thing that popped into her mind -- surprisingly -- had nothing to do with their shared craft.

"She's got the most amazing skin I have ever seen," McMahon, 34, said with a laugh. "You wanted to ask her questions about it, you know, tips. But there's no time. It's work."

McMahon wrapped her part of filming for Chilled in Miami -- which Zellwegger is currently in Winnipeg shooting -- on Monday, after five hours on a small plane with the tiny Texan.

She played a stewardess to Zellweger's Minnesota-bound businesswoman and exchanged a few lines with Zellweger while the cameras rolled.

Off-camera, McMahon said the 38-year-old Baytown, Texas native was quiet, but cordial.

"She's so wonderful," McMahon said. "She's very generous and open."

McMahon said her scene, which was filmed on a small plane in a training area at Richardson International Airport, is the opener for the film.

Winnipeg doubles as small-town Minnesota, where Zellweger's character is sent to revive a floundering factory.

Extra Anne Wyman, a 19-year-old University of Winnipeg theatre student, doesn't have any lines in the film, but spent a few hours filming a second airport scene with Zellweger and only five other extras.

"She seemed really cool," Wyman said. "The first time she walked on set was around 9:30 in the morning and they'd already been filming all night. She was like, 'OK, who's exhausted and has no brain?' and laughed."

Wyman said she was impressed by Zellweger's small frame and ability to handle some wide-eyed extras while just trying to do her job.

"I guess it must be hard for her to go to her workplace and still have people ogling her," Wyman said.

McMahon, who also played a love interest of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character in locally-lensed The Lookout and had another small speaking role in You Kill Me, staring Ben Kingsley, said working alongside such "stars" requires a level of decorum.

"When you get to that level, they make you work for it," she said. "Their energy is amazing and they're very open, but they command that of you. I would like to think they pull you up to that level." (source)

J.K. Simmons, who plays the dad in Juno, is about to start work in Canada on Chilled in Miami, starring Renee Zellweger and Harry Connick Jr. "Renee plays a corporate fish out of water from Miami who is transferred to Minnesota and is not happy," says Simmons. "Harry plays a backwoods guy. They hate each other and then, shockingly, they don't." (source)

I am getting excited to see pictures from this film ... it sounds like it is going to be fun and I feel that Renee is definitely due for a new romantic comedy!

Even though Renee wasn't nominated I am sure you will all be interested in this breaking news:

The Golden Globe Awards have become a victim of the writers' strike.

Organizers said Monday they’ve officially abandoned the televised formal ceremony this Sunday and will replace it with a press conference announcement of the winners.

"We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favorite stars celebrating 2007's outstanding achievements in motion pictures and television," Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Jorge Camara said. "We take some comfort, however, in knowing that this year's Golden Globe Award recipients will be announced on the date originally scheduled."

The drastic move is in response to the Screen Actors Guild pledge that its members would not cross picket lines by the Writers Guild of America, effectively leaving the show without any stars.

Instead of the lavish ceremony, the HFPA, which sponsors the awards, will now announce the winners at an hour-long press conference broadcast on NBC.

"The 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards NBC telecast and champagne dinner in the Beverly Hilton's International Ballroom is officially canceled," the HFPA said in a statement. (source)

I found this old home movie made by Renee's old boyfriend filmmaker Josh Pate of her and their friend Bill Wolf for the Carolina Film Alliance. Also featured in this video is Renee's beloved dog Woof.

We have the first still from Renee's film Appaloosa which is a western. She looks awesome!

It looks like Tom Cruise's studio, "United Artists" is close to making a deal with the Writers Guild of America. The New York Post reports that if a deal is reached, United Artists, a division of MGM, would become the first notable movie company to come to terms with the writers.

In a not so positive bit of news, according to the Associated Press the Actors will be not appearing at the Golden Globe Awards. Screen Actors Guild (SAG) President Alan Rosenberg said in a statement, "After considerable outr each to Golden Globe actor nominees and their representatives over the past several weeks, there appears to be unanimous agreement that these actors will not cross WGA picket lines to appear on the Golden Globe Awards as acceptors or presenters. We applaud our members for this remarkable show of solidarity for striking Writers Guild of America (WGA) writers." Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) president Jorge Camara said in a statement, "The HFPA has been placed in an extremely difficult position with the ongoing Writers Guild strike, We are making every effort to work out a solution that will permit the Golden Globes to take place with the creative community present to participate. We hope to announce a resolution to this unfortunate predicament on Monday."

I have added a bunch of new images from Renée's film Chicago. There are stills and on set images. Here is a glimpse of what is waiting you ...

Welcome to our city, Renee -- here are some cool things to do while you're in town

She had us at hello.

OK, so we haven't actually had the pleasure of making her acquaintance just yet, but we were still pretty thrilled to hear that Oscar winner Renee Zellweger was due to arrive in town last night to commence filming on her latest movie.

Zellweger -- a 38-year-old Texas native known best for her work in Jerry Maguire, Chicago, Cold Mountain, and Bridget Jones's Diary -- is in our fair city to work on the romantic comedy Chilled in Miami, about a high-powered Florida business woman who gets a frosty reception from the locals after being transferred to smalltown Minnesota.

Shooting on the flick is expected to get underway this Monday, continuing in and around Winnipeg (and Selkirk) for the next six or seven weeks.

In addition to Zellweger, the cast also includes jazz crooner Harry Connick Jr. (P.S. I Love You), Rashida Jones (The Office), and Frances Conroy (Six Feet Under), plus prairie thesps Kristen Harris, Tracy McMahon and local theatre vet Nancy Drake.

Sources peg the movie's budget at about $25 million, though that seems a shade low, since Zellweger herself typically commands between $12 million and $15 million per picture.

Whatever the case, we're sure you're going to be hearing quite a bit about Ms. Zellweger while she's here. (source)

Stars reveal how they get fit

Few topics generate more headlines than the nitty-gritty details of how Hollywood celebs get and maintain their fabulous physiques. And in the media news cycle, fitness stories always get the most play around springtime (right before the summer beach season) and around New Year’s, when everyone is pumped up to lose the extra pounds they gained over the holidays.

To this end, TheImproper.com has compiled a list of what your favorite stars do to get in such incredible shape. Some of their workout and eating programs aren't for the weak of will, but all are sure to deliver results--if you can survive them.

The Workouts

Superfit Renee Zellweger, 38, is an avid swimmer and yoga enthusiast, but running is her true passion. "That's my alone time…my thinking time," she has said. Zellweger jogs up to five miles per session several times a week, and when she hits the gym, she focuses on circuit training.

Tourist attractions in the Lake District claim a rise in visitors has been prompted by the film Miss Potter.
Bridget Jones actress Renee Zellweger stars in the biopic of Beatrix Potter, who created many of her animal characters in Cumbria.

The World of Beatrix Potter reported a 35% boost in visitor numbers in 2007. Lindeth Howe Country House Hotel and Mountain Goat tours also saw rises.

One in five people said the Miss Potter film was the reason for their visit.

'Great advert'
Richard Foster, general manager of The World of Beatrix Potter, said: "There was definitely a significant Miss Potter effect in 2007.

"The film was a great advert, not only for Beatrix Potter but also for the Lake District as a whole."

Mountain Goat saw a 40% increase in the number of people doing their daily tours.

And Lindeth Howe, which was once owned by Beatrix Potter, said bookings had been up by as much as 15% in some months compared with 2006.

The Potter effect is set to continue with the film recently seeing its release in Japan. (source)

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Here's to a fabulous 2008!

And to celebrate here is Renee's interview on Regis & Kelly (or should I say Jimmy Kimmel & Kelly!) this past October ... promoting Bee Movie.

The trailer for Renee's newest film Leatherheads has hit the internet. In case you haven't seen it yet, here it is:

Who's Cool and Who's Cruel to Fans and Autograph Collectors?

It's time again for Autograph magazine’s Annual 10 Best & 10 Worst Hollywood Signers lists. For the third year in a row, actor Johnny Depp is ranked the number one best signer, closely followed by Matt Damon. Surprisingly, funny man Will Ferrell is our number one worst signer as he has been seen taunting fans who ask for his autograph—a real disappointment considering he used to be so nice to his fans. You’ll learn more details like this about what your favorite stars are like to fans seeking autographs when the cameras are not rolling.

From our judges in California, New York and Europe who have spent the last year observing how stars treat their fans, we compiled the most accurate list possible. Keep in mind that even the best signers sometimes don't sign, the worst occasionally do, and that just because they're on the worst list doesn't mean they're bad people. They're just bad signers.

Get the December issue on newsstands now to find out why the following actors and actresses made the lists that they are on.

Personally I think that Renee is very private. I have never heard her be rude to her fans. It would be interesting to see what the magazine has to say. If anyone has a copy and would mind scanning that in, I would really appreciate it!

Renée Zellweger doesn't believe in New Year's resolutions.

In contrast to her 'Bridget Jones' character who made long lists of resolutions in her diary every year, the actress keeps her life in order throughout the year and feels she has nothing to resolve.

Renée told BANG Showbiz, "I don't do New Year's resolutions actually. If it needs fixing I just fix it when I need to."

The 'Bee Movie' star recently revealed she is obsessed with writing thank you letters.

She said, "When I get a day off I get really busy and roll up my shirt sleeves and get done all the things that keep me awake at night when I'm working because I don't have time to do them. I do believe that my true calling is to become a writer." (source)

Finally after a lot of hard works and hours of putting things together and sorting and organizing my collection of photos, I am launching the newest Renée Zellweger site on the internet. I hope you enjoy your visit. Please leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.
