To promote her new weight loss reality show, Carnie Wilson spoke with PIX Morning News this week about the ups and downs of weight control and her new inspirations in life. When asked if her weight struggle is the focus of the show she responded,

The dashing Hollywood star George Clooney always looks handsome and fit and probably doesn’t even know how to gain weight. So when he had to gain weight for a movie role he decided to turn to an old friend who knows how to do it right, Renee Zellweger. Clooney told the Daily Express,

“When I found out I had to pile on the pounds – no way was I going to wear a ‘fat suit’, that would have looked so fake – I rang up Renée, an old friend, and asked how she managed to put weight on for the Bridget Jones movies.”

Actress Renee Zellweger may not be piling on the pounds when she reprises her role as Bridget Jones for the third instalment of the comedy movies at the end of this year. The first two movies grossed more than $544 million, so one can understand why Zellweger signed on to do the third.

But this time round, the 40-year-old Oscar winner will be doing the responsible thing when it comes to her body.

“Renee will be wearing a fat suit in the third film as it took her a while to lose the weight last time,” a source told Britain’s Reveal magazine. “She’s also thinking about the effect quickly putting on and then losing 30 pounds has on her body.”

“It was very, very easy to gain the weight,” he said. “It was very, very fun, probably the funnest time I had working, because I didn’t have to go to the gym after work and I just ate everything I could see.”
