You will not be surprised to read that I *love* this cover but that her one hank of hair there in the middle of her forehead is making me slowly insane.

[The story is fairly diverting, as is Renee herself, I suspect](https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a39435210/0001-0105-renee-zellweger-lets-down-her-guard-sort-of-april-2022/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). (Renee seems fun.) It's in aid of promoting *The Thing About Pam*, which I honestly already forgot happened; I will note that the Dateline podcast about that case is fantastic, and I can see why they wanted to option it, but Renee was not good casting, and I would hope we'd be past the era of fatsuits in 2021\. (I think Renee decided it was not good for her to gain weight for a role after *Bridget Jones* and I understand why she didn't want to go down that road; I think they should have cast another actor.) The profile directs that controversy thusly:

> Now, all of these years later, they’re talking again—or tweeting, anyway—calling the padding and prosthetics she wears in *The Thing About Pam* “fatphobic.” It’s a fair point, but maybe Zellweger isn’t the best place to direct that anger.

I don't think anyone needs to direct actual anger at her, obviously -- but she's an executive producer on the piece and she took the part, so the criticism isn't wholly misdirected, and I think it's okay to note that perhaps this is a project where Renee could have EP'd and given another actress a gig. When I saw the ads for the mini-series, my first thought was, "oh, that podcast was great," and my second one was, "Renee is terrible casting for this!" so I don't even know that I think her on-screen involvement was a bonus for them. Having said that: I really like Renee as an actor and I *do* think she would be well-served on a juicy miniseries. Renee could absolutely have her own *Mare of Easttown.*

ANYWAY! Here's your subscribers cover:

Don't you feel like Gwyneth Paltrow owns that coffee table?

I'd also note that I actually really like the editorial snaps accompanying the profile. They feel like the heyday of the J.Crew catalog, and I *know* that sounds like a backhanded compliment but I truly loved that catalog when it was in its prime and that style honestly feels so refreshing and clean at the moment -- and it also makes me want to buy clothes, so.
