Say What? Renee Zellweger on Not Being Judged by Her Looks

TresSugar — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 08:00:00 PDT

"I'm not an actress who made her way based on physicality - I think quite the opposite, in fact. I sort of disappear a little bit, with respect to my looks. I'm lucky. I'm not a standout, kind of knockout kind of girl that, you know, it's all about my great hair or something."

- Renee Zellweger, when asked if she's judged by her looks like the character she plays in My One and Only. In the film, whose tagline is "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Husbands," she plays Anne Devereaux, a woman who leaves her cheating husband with their sons in tow, one of whom just happens to end up being the very tanned actor George Hamilton.

Renee's Not Ready For Red Carpets With Bradley Just Yet

PopSugar — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:00:00 PDT

Renee Zellweger showed off her toned arms in a LBD at the NYC premiere of My One and Only last night. She's been keeping her week filled with a rigorous promotional interview schedule before the film's premiere on Friday. Her Barcelona kissing buddy Bradley Cooper didn't join her on the red carpet supposedly because they are trying to keep their relationship low-key, but it looks like Renee had fun with other guy friends at the afterparty regardless.

Love It or Leave It: My One and Only Starring Renee Zellweger

BuzzSugar — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 10:30:01 PDT

In My One and Only, Renee Zellweger stars as Ann Devereaux, a charming but mercurial society lady who leaves her cheating husband and takes to the road with her young sons (one of whom, it turns out, grows up to be the actor George Hamilton). The movie's tagline is "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Husbands," that seems to be an appropriate description for Ann's journey, as she meets and discards (or is discarded by) men of all stripes. Kevin Bacon, Chris Noth, Eric McCormack, and Steven Weber also star. Check out the trailer below and tell me: Will you be rushing to theaters for this one on Aug. 21? Or would you rather skip it?

The One and Only Renee Stands Out in Berlin

PopSugar — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 16:30:07 PST

Renée Zellweger held down the fort without costar Chris Noth at the photo call and premiere of My One and Only earlier today at the Berlin Film Festival. The actress said she was drawn to this movie because it's about self discovery, which is something she's working on. With a new man in her life who can keep her interested romantically and intellectually, hopefully Renée's road to figuring herself out is smoother than ever.

Renée Stays Under Her One and Only Umbrella-ella

PopSugar — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 14:30:51 PDT

Renée Zellweger took a shade and beverage break while filming on the set of My One and Only in Baltimore, Maryland yesterday. Renée was in full costume - except for her comfy footwear - and looks very girly and pretty on the set of her '50s movie. We can't wait to see the cute actress with her new "Big" co-star, and while it's hard to fill George Clooney's shoes, hopefully, Chris Noth can help make Renee's next film a bigger box office success than Leatherheads.

Renee Zellweger Lands Mr. Big as Her One and Only

BuzzSugar — Tue, 27 May 2008 10:40:24 PDT

OK, OK, not actually Mr. Big, but Chris Noth will be joining Renee Zellweger in the comedy My One and Only. The story follows Anne Deveraux (Zellweger), "a glamorous dreamer who travels from city to city looking for a wealthy man to fund a new life for her and her sons. Noth plays a retired military doctor who might just fit the bill."

Apparently, the story is based on a real-life "childhood adventure" of actor George Hamilton. Hamilton shared with Merv Griffin this story "about his early life on the road with his mother and brother."

Aww! After her smart-talking turn as Lexie Littleton in Leatherheads, I'm curious to see what Renee Zellweger has in store for us next. And how lucky is Zellweger to be able to call Mr. Big her One and Only?!

Khloé Kardashian Odom Tells Us Women and Girls Shouldn't Be Shy About Their Bodies

Annie Scudder — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:00:01 PST

While Kris Jenner is making headlines for promoting a very adult product - arousal oils to be exact - her daughter Khloé Kardashian Odom is appealing to a younger audience. Khloé has teamed up again with U by Kotex, the eccentric line of pads and tampons for young women. Khloé told me that she loves that the line is "trying to destroy the old-fashioned belief that we have to be so discreet" and that it also supports the charity Girls for a Change. During fashion week, a fleet of branded U by Kotex taxis will be picking people up at Lincoln Center and in the Meatpacking District, and donating up to $100,000 to the charity. I chatted with Khloé, and she opened up about the awkward years in the Kardashian household, as well as her move to Dallas for love. Keep reading to find out all about it!

TrèsSugar: Why did you team up with U by Kotex?
Khloé Kardashian Odom: I love their packaging, the neon colors, the black boxes, they're trying to make everything so chic, and fun, and vibrant, like it's OK. Especially if you're in high school and you're pulling out one of those tampons or maxi pads, it's not as embarrassing. I love being able to let women, and especially younger women, know that it's OK to talk about this and to ask questions.

TS: Would this message have appealed to you when you were younger?
KKO: I am so thankful that I had older sisters, because I had a really tough time in school. I was always bullied in school. If it wasn't for my older sisters always making me feel like everything was OK and being able to ask them questions, I don't really know how I would have gotten through those years. I love that this brand is almost like an older sister but on a larger scheme. They're letting everyone know that this is what happens to everybody and it's awkward for everyone.

TS: So who did your older sisters talk to? Did your mom fill that role?
KKO: Kourtney told me that she didn't even tell my mom she got her period for the first year and a half. She said she told her friend and her friend just told her what to do. To me, I find that so weird. But that's Kourtney. Kim was always very open about it, but I think Kim got hers first, and I think Kourtney got jealous. Kids are weird! I don't get what that jealousy is. I'm like, "Honey, please. Be grateful that you don't have it." It's so funny that I'm 27, and my sisters are 16 and 14. I'm not so much older than them, but the comfort in talking about your bodies grows so much.

TS: Do you have an awkward or funny memory from that time?

Find out Khloé's answer, as well as the scoop on Dallas, when you keep reading.

Home According to the Bronte Sisters, in Fact and Fiction

Elka Karl — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:31:00 PST

While the Edwardian era is all the rage at the moment, due to Downton Abbey, the 19th century was pretty fascinating as well, thanks in part to its fantastic literature. The Victorian era produced an amazing number of fantastic romance and horror novels, and one family that contributed greatly to the literature of the time was the Brontes. Sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne produced an impressive body of literature, both poems and fiction, which are still being used for films today - in fact, the latest adaptation of Jane Eyre is still one of my favorite films of 2011. Another adaptation of the novel Wuthering Heights screened at Sundance, so we can only hope that we'll have another chance at seeing Heathcliff on the silver screen soon.

Take a look at some images from the Brontes' real-life home, now the Bronte Parsonage Museum, as well as some scenes from Jane Eyre that capture the decor of the era.

Snacking Good: Natchitoches Meat Pies

OnSugar Blog — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:07:39 PST

We've always wanted to take a stab at rolling out a few Natchitoches meat pies. Thanks to an easy recipe from Food Orleans, this might be a dream realized sooner rather than later.

[Baked or fried? You decide.]

Natchitoches meat pies are one of those special little treats with a name as fun to say as they are to scarf down. Nackadish - that's how you say it - is a small town we drive through on our way north to visit Alexandria or Oklahoma, and it's where Steel Magnolias was filmed, and it's famous for these little pies. It's a beautiful little place, with a picturesque riverfront lined with shops and restaurants that have their own sort of French Quarter-ish wrought iron balconies (remember the Easter scene where Jackson slapped Ouiser? That's the riverfront!). But you don't have to go into the actual town to get yourself some meat pies; just stop at any gas station right off I-10. They all fry them up and they're all pretty wonderful.
