Renee Zellweger and George Clooney used to bang each other silly, and now they are gracing the December issue of W magazine. What a boring cover. Couldn’t they have had them get naked and spray each other with water hoses or something? Is George lifting a lock of Renee’s hair up because he’s afraid to put his arm around her?

Renee Zellweger has done a lot of movies we love like Jerry Maguire, Bridget Jones’ Diary, Cold Mountain, and Chicago, but then there’s her hair. Some girls can pull off the short look, and some can’t. Renee attended the New York City premiere of her new movie with Jerry Seinfeld called Bee Movie last night. Renee moved from Los Angeles to New York because she says the paparazzi would not leave her alone. She said:

“I don’t need to be in the eye of the storm. I love acting, I really do love it, but I have a very hard time. It’s a strange thing to call a job. I wasn’t really into being followed around everywhere by six guys with two-way radios. There’s this whole network. You start to recognize them and it’s like, you’re not invited. I have a fitting, then I have to go meet this director to discuss the next project, then I have an interview, and I’m going to go for a run, and you’re not invited, but they’ll come with you all day. I don’t want to feed the fishes. I also don’t want to be one of those people who are sour about it. So I decided I’d just leave.”

Fun fact: In Los Angeles the weather is always perfect, so the paparazzi can follow around celebrities day and night, and 365 days a year. Movie studios moved from New York to Hollywood, California for the perfect weather, so they could film movies 365 days a year.

Fun Fact 2: Renee in short hair has fulfilled the fantasy of a lot of lesbians.

In "That Ain’t Right" news, Renee Zellweger and Paul McCartney were seen enjoying each other’s company at the Tom Petty Show in the Hamptons. MSN reports:

Although his acrimonious divorce from Heather Mills is not yet finalized, Paul McCartney appears to be getting by with a little help from his friends — his famous, pretty blond friends.

The New York Daily News reports the pop icon, 65, enjoyed a tête-à-tête with Renée Zellweger, 38, at a Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers concert Saturday night in the Hamptons.

The weedy if freakishly muscular Oscar winner, who has a well-documented soft spot for musical men (see her "fraud"-annulled marriage to Kenny Chesney and onetime romance with Jack White), "smiled, laughed and hung on [McCartney's] every word," according to the paper, which snapped the pair amiably chatting.

However, a "mole" says that the idea of a romance between the two facially challenged people is just not so.

"I don’t believe there’s anything between them," the mole tells the paper. "He was sitting with Amy Poehler and her husband, and [Renee] was with two friends and left 15 minutes after he did."

This is a relief, as the only bi-product from this relationship would be a child that looks like the kid from "Mask."

Renee Zellweger’s current weight can’t be healthy. The lollipop head and the protruding clavicle burs make us want to hold her down and shove Oreos in her mouth.

Heck, even the fat-free Oreos (retch) would provide some much-needed calories.

These side-by-side images of Zellweger, plumped up for the Bridget Jones role and today, are striking, though one would expect the difference to be dramatic.

Read more to see a picture of her next to Sarah Jessica Parker, also a distressing contrast. This is more than Renee just being "naturally thin." Renee makes Sarah look positively muscular.

Who’s the skinniest starlet is like an arms race. Hope this pic doesn’t cause SJP to up her treadmill time.

A bespectacled Renée Zellweger has a clear perspective on some good reading material during a stop at Barnes and Noble in Los Angeles on Sunday.
