Renée Zellweger was one of the hottest points of discussion yesterday, as a picture of her with a very different face emerged and pretty much broke the internet. Her appearance at the Elle Women in Hollywood Awards on Monday night forced people to ask, “what the heck has she done to her face?”… and Renée has kindly decided to clear it all up! “I’m glad folks think I look different! I’m living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I’m thrilled that perhaps it shows,” the 45-year-old Bridget Jones actress began. “My friends say that I look peaceful. I am healthy. For a long time I wasn’t doing such a good job with that. I took on a schedule that is not realistically sustainable and didn’t allow for taking care of myself. “Rather than stopping to recalibrate, I kept running until I was depleted and made bad choices about how to conceal the exhaustion. I was aware of the chaos and finally chose different things. “I did work that allows for being still, making a home, loving someone, learning new things, growing as a creative person and finally growing into myself. People don’t know me [as] healthy for a while. Perhaps I look different. Who doesn’t as they get older?! Ha. But I am different. I’m happy.” So basically, we think she’s trying to say that the crazy industry which she is a part of more or less forced her hand. We think. Where do you guys stand? [People]

Proof that society needs an image makeover?
Cosmetic surgery has become the norm in today’s society especially amongst celebrities under pressure to fight off the effects of ageing. Take for example Renee Zellweger, the actress came under scrutiny last month when her appearance at the Elle woman awards sparked a heated debate as to whether the star had undergone plastic surgery. The media called Renee “completely unrecognisable”, and a foray of Tweets, news articles and online conversation both defending and slamming the star dominated the internet overnight. The comments of attack are really not dissimilar to bullying, and Renee’s quick-witted, frank response show that confidence can conquer in this situation. “I’m glad folks think I look different!” she told People magazine, “I’m living a happy, more fulfilling life…I’m thrilled that perhaps it shows.” Where the issue lies then, is in how the media portrays ageing and beauty within celeb culture. Renee goes on to say that friends have commented on how peaceful and rested she now appears, after learning to listen and nourish her body. “Perhaps I look different. Who doesn’t as they get older? I’m happy.” Happiness is the crucial word here. Renee should not feel the need to defend her appearance to the press. “Happiness and well-being is one of the most important aspects to assess when someone is enquiring about cosmetic surgery – a surgeon should analyse someone’s psychological well-being as a top priority,” comments Michael Saul, head of Cosmetic Surgery Negligence at Cosmetic Surgery Solicitors. “Cosmetic surgery isn’t just about the physical result – it can have a profound impact on your happiness, too.” If you’ve been affected by the issues raised in this article, or think you may have suffered unnecessarily at the hands of a negligent surgeon, you may be entitled to receive compensation.
