Renee Zellweger premieres her new Justin Bieber-esque hair

my_own_love_song_08_wenn2817695

It’s gotten to the point where it’s difficult not to mock Renee Zelleweger. And I’m saying that as someone who likes her and thinks she’s talented. But as I’m going through the photos of Renee at last night’s premiere of My Own Love Song, I just feel like…ugh. Enough, Renee. You’re a pretty girl, but stop messing with your face, stop puffing out your thin chest, stop trying so hard to be this fancy style icon and just be yourself. Normal Renee is so much better than red carpet Renee.

Anyway, this is Renee’s newish hair. I think she’s grown out a more severe cut and added shorter bangs. In some of these photos, she looks like she’s aiming for “The Bieb” hairstyle – with the bangs pulled forward and swept across her forehead, she does look Justin Bieber-esque.

Oh, the dress is Vera Wang, by the way, not Renee’s favorite designer, Carolina Herrera. Do you think Herrera was like, “Renee, you got The Bieb?!? No, you cannot wear my dress!” I would like the dress better without all of the crazy layers – but if it was just a straight skirt, it would have been a look Renee has worn many, many times before, so it’s nice that she was trying something new.

As for the film, Renee stars with Forest Whitaker, and Renee plays “a wheelchair-bound former singer who heads out on a cross country trek with her stuttering friend, played by Whitaker, who said the film centers around ‘a very magical, poetic journey’.” Renee told The Daily Mail: “It was so much fun. I had the best time in New Orleans with [Forest]. It was really a fantastic experience to share it.”

    Love the look, except for the gristly legs. Is hosiery too much for these women?

    Just do without the peeptoes,(your pedicure wore off) and wear black sheer hose, all right, Renee?

  2. freckles says:

    LOL!!! It’s TOTALLY Justin Bieber-esque, you nailed it Kaiser. This haircut looks pretty weird on her, seriously. She’s already got in my opinion a kind of strange face.. she looks prettiest with long hair that softens it; not short hair that draws attention to it.

    Anyways, her legs are scary in that last pic. And that movie just sounds like a desperate attempt for an Oscar.

  3. canadianchick says:

    Looks like she’s from the sound of music, but I like it.

  4. Squirrel says:

    Emaciated body in the palest shade of beige with a chipmunk face and a hairstyle that the slightest gust of wind would destroy. Not a fan of this look. She should eat, let the sun find its way to her now and again and get real confidence – now that would be attractive. Right now she looks like she’s auditioning for the role of Tinkerbell!

  5. Team Bethenny says:

    I’m of a different generation. I thought, “Sandy Duncan as Peter Pan.”

    Either way, not a flattering look.

  6. She looks like Ellen’s twatty-lemon-sucking-fug half sister. So fugging fug!

  7. moo says:

    yep… Peter Pan it is! Not a good look for her. A bag woulda been better.

  8. Hautie says:

    I like this haircut.

    Renee has that soft fine hair which is a nightmare to style. It would be cute with a few big soft curls too.

    And in a general bias statement.

    I do not understand why any female in a extremely pricey dress refuses to wear a pair of hose with their equally pricey heels. It kills the look of the entire outfit to see vein-y, white, ashy legs hanging out.

  9. andrea says:

    she is cuter with shorter hair versus longer, altho this particular cut is a little bowl-ish. i think this woman has a serious eating/exercise disorder. there is nothing soft or sexy about her body. someone needs to tell these tricks that this look is NOT CUTE.

  10. isabelle says:

    Hate that over-the-shoulder glance she always does to the press: so fake.

  11. Kitty2000 says:

    I think it’s adorable. I just got my hair cut today and I totally wanted to go for something like this but my face is just too damn wide.

  12. Marjalane says:

    This cut makes Haydon whatshername’s look good.

  13. GatsbyGal says:

    God, her legs are sick-looking. She definitely needs to pack a little more meat on her bones.

  14. padiddle says:

    dutch boy from the paint cans. ick.

  15. bros says:

    I think she has to keep getting it cut off because its falling out because she doesnt eat. she also must have had a facelift. her eyes are looking weird and pulled suuuuper tight.

  16. original kate says:

    note to self: clean flat (GAH!), stop smoking, stay away from daniel cleaver (office scoundrel) and never get buster brown haircut when emaciated.

  17. serena says:

    I think she did it to seems more young and she looks like it indeed but.. i don’t like it at all.

  18. k says:

    I have thought for a while that she might be losing her hair. I have a female friend who has a rare condition that causes hair loss, and her stylist gives her terrible haricuts, but at the same time, they are the best-option cuts to hide what is going on.

  19. Popcorny says:

    I’m seeing a cross dressed Kurt Cobain trying to pull off a Shirley McLaine.

  20. irene says:

    Poor Renee. She was so beautiful when she was younger – I hate how fake/weird she looks now. And it’s not like she’s “lost it” because she got older – she lost it because she’s anorexic, works out too much and thinks she’s supposed to be something she’s not. The plastic surgery isn’t helping – I hope she quits while she still looks human.

  21. Scout says:

    I’m sorry – this woman is, from all appearances, from the “Land of Odd.”

    The haircut could be cute on someone else…and the dress, too.

  22. lucy2 says:

    Her best (and most natural look) was in Jerry Maguire.

    I think she’s OK with short hair, but I don’t like how long the layers are – it makes it look like her hairline is WAY back and she’s doing a weird comb-over kind of thing.

    She hasn’t seemed so squinty lately. And I do like the dress.

  23. nycmom10024 says:

    See Kaiser I guess I am older than you,I see Shirley Maclain with thinner hair circa 1960’s.

  24. geesus says:

    That hair style ages her a lot! She needs to fire the ‘expert’ who convinced her that this was a brilliant move.

    Legs: Dont know what happened to cause such ugliness, but cover them up PLZ! My eyes hurt.

  25. DoMaJoReMc says:

    @ padiddle:

    YOU ARE SOOOOOOO RIGHT! That’s exactly what I thought, then I shook out the image with the image of Sandy Duncan’s Peter Pan…(Thanks, Team Bethenny!)

    I swear this girl TRIES to look disgusting. Does she NOT have a stylist? Or even a best fiend? How about a neighbor that sorta cares? A dog, perhaps?

  26. LindyLou says:

    I think it looks a lot healthier than it has been lately.

  27. anon says:

    I just want to know why her lips always look chapped. But I like Renee! The hair probably looks better with a t-shirt and shorts. *shrugs*

  28. JuiceinLA says:

    Shirley McClaine’s more co-kated, less tolerable, less talented doppleganger.

    trying way too hard.

  29. Zelda says:

    Has anyone looked at her and thought “I’d hit that” since Empire Records?
    Anyone?
    Didn’t think so.

  30. Cindy says:

    Renee’s legs are a great example of why too much jogging around the track is no good for you. She needs to exercise less and eat more.

  31. JaisyMaisy says:

    Is she still with Bradley Cooper? If so…I think he must have gone blind or something. He is WAY too cute for the likes of old squints!

  32. moi says:

    she poses SO HARD. It looks like she’s about to do the robot or something.

  33. gretchen_euro says:

    renee can do no wrong…so much talent in such a cute little body…love her!!

  34. Ruffian9 says:

    I think the cut is cute. Then again, I’m partial to short, choppy cuts, and think many women wear their hair too long. That said, she looks so emaciated it pains me. Luv, please stop trying so hard…

  35. Janet says:

    I like the hair – I always think she looks cute with short hair and I like the little layers- and the color is perfect. Her skin looks fantastic, but I am tired of the over the shoulder pose.

  36. viktorygin says:

    Sheer hosiery are going the way of the dodo. In her case, one would gladly resurrect them. Her legs look diseased. Poor thing has never been cute, but has always tried.

  37. coconut says:

    i think she looks great–legs, hair and all. she’s not as gristly as madonna as SJP but she better watch it. hair is cute and a nice change from all the same long stick staight and bedhead tresses on other celeb women.

  38. Nixe says:

    I actually like the haircut on her, it flatters her, as much as her face can be flattered.

    That said, why does she alwyas have to pucker up her mouth like that? It’s annoying as hell, as is the extreme unnatural posing. She may be a sweet person, but for some reason she’s always rubbed me the wrong way.

  39. Zelda says:

    @ #32:
    ahahahahahahahah. Nailed it.

    @viktory gin:
    That’s a shame. I wish it weren’t. Legs look SO much nicer in good-quality hosiery (note the quality part–just say no to the little plastic eggs, ladies)

    Living in Moscow, you almost always wear a pair of stockings (two seperate stockings-NOT pantyhose) when your legs are “bare”. I’ll miss how lean and even my legs look when I move again and am mocked into leaving them behind. Maybe I’ll stay here forever just for the abundant lingerie and stockings…

  40. Cheyenne says:

    Not sure if I like that haircut or not… but I like that she has confidence enough to vary her looks.

  41. Johnthing says:

    Legs and shoes don’t work. At least she’s not squinting and puckering.

  42. SallyJay says:

    Bradley, call me!

  43. CeeCee12 says:

    She looks hard and unhealthy and its unattractive.
    If she posed any harder she would snap a bone. She always poses painfully and unnaturally.

  44. Dhavy says:

    What’s with the Topollillo face????

    She might be fight but her legs look awful

  45. Dhavy says:

    typo-meant to write fit

  46. Crash2GO2 says:

    It’s not my favorite short hair on her, but I think it looks ok. She does have nightmare hair – thin and fly-away, so keeping it short is probably her best option for keeping it manageable. And honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with the way her legs look, but I am accustomed to athletic looking legs.

  47. Camille says:

    Aww, I actually think she looks kind of adorable here. Less squinty and if she had a (orange) fake tan you’d all be saying how great her legs looked lol. At least she likes to try out different hairstyles, so I appreciate that about her, even if she sometimes gets it wrong.

    The movie she is promoting sounds like an (awful) Oscar wannabe vehicle to me.

  48. coucou says:

    She’s darling, but unfortunately, the unwitting poster girl for excessive extension usage. Extensions, over time, literally kill the hair follicles, and you end up with thinner hair than ever before.

  49. The Bobster says:

    I wish Pickle Puss would stop making faces for the camera.
