We really have to talk about Renee Zellweger. Here are more pictures from Gawker.

As plastic surgery goes, this wasn’t a terrible job. She doesn’t look like the Joker from Batman, and she doesn’t have fish lips. Still, she lost her signature squinty eyes and doesn’t look like herself.

The best commentary comes from Amanda Hess at Slate. She says that stars are pressured to have these procedures. Hollywood dumps women over 40. Former “it girls” like Zellweger have to get this work done, and then we make fun of them for doing it. “Plastic surgery is fake. So is the Hollywood fantasy where women over 40 just don’t exist.”

We can’t win. We’re mocked for our wrinkles. We’re mocked for removing wrinkles. Should we just disappear? Would that be more convienent for the public?
