Miss Potter

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue.

Silver Spoons: Season 1
This week I have a very special trip down memory lane to 1982's "Silver Spoons." The first season is (finally!) out on DVD, so you can reacquaint yourself with the lovable 12-year-old Rick Stratton (Rick Schroeder) who surprises his wealthy, "kid at heart" single dad by going to live with him at his estate. Comedy ensues mostly in the form of Dad-acting-like-a-child jokes. Also, it's great fun to see the bajillion now-well-known actors who had recurring or guest parts on the show, including (but not limited to) Jason Bateman, Whitney Houston, Sharon Stone, Matthew Perry and Christina Applegate.

Renée stopped by Letterman last night to promote her new film Miss Potter. Dave, however, had other ideas. He was very interested in her quickie marriage (and divorce) to Kenny Chesney, and wouldn't let up about it despite the fact that Renée was obviously uncomfortable with the subject. Here's more:

When Letterman said, "Can we talk about your marriage to Kenny Chesney a little bit?" Zellweger quipped sarcastically, "I thought you'd never ask!" The host then said, "Did you kids really try?" Zellweger appeared visibly uncomfortable and said, "It's ok, baby, I can take it. C'mon, let's go. I'm ready!" The star kept trying to avoid the questions, with Letterman asking about the current state of their relationship saying, "Are you still friends with him?" Zellweger said, "Yes, I am still friends with him. Not you, anymore, now we're done! Oh, no, it's all over now. I mean we had a good thing going for years here." When he asked if she had started dating again, she said tentatively, "I like to say I'm not single, I'm just real busy. "I know all the guys in the different frequent flyer clubs around the world. I know them and they're all real nice to me!"

Renée seemed to handle herself okay. It might be awhile though before we see her on Letterman again! For more pics just read more

Renee will be back on the big screen a month from today. She's bringing the author of the classic children's book we all loved as kids, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, to theaters as Beatrix Potter. The movie will tell the story of Beatrix's life and struggle for love, happiness and success as she wrote the timeless stories. Look for Miss Potter in theaters December 29th.

For now, Renee is enjoying her down time in NYC where she was spotted getting some holiday shopping in at Barneys. To check out a clip of Miss Potter and for more pics of Renee all bundled up in NYC just read more
