Fug or Fab the Cover: Renee Zellweger

We’ve gotten a bunch of email about this cover, the overall tone of which was, “EW.” One reader said that at first glance, she thought it was Helen Mirren on the cover and that while Helen Mirren is awesome, she’s also got twenty years on Renee. Which is a very good point. On the other hand, my response was that I was impressed that Renee managed to pose on the cover of a magazine about, essentially, lady-fitness, showing naught but her ankles. Also, that I like those jeans. Also, that her face is starting to look like someone else’s face, which I suspect is bad for an actress. And that, for some reason, in this picture she seems to have the waxen skin of a young Lord Voldemort — also not a plus.
