On Tuesday, in a singular moment of convergence of television and popular culture, the new ABC comedy station "Self" (Selfie) appears in this scene: two colleagues - Eliza (Eliza) and kamo Nick (Charmonique) , chatted actress Renee Zellweger (RenéeZellweger).

She looks great, Eliza evaluated. Yes, kamo Nick agreed, but she "looks a little bit like Renee Zellweger also miss."

In typical television production planning point of view, this episode is mostly shot in a couple of weeks ago, but on the day, Zellweger photos just overwhelming in the news before it aired, she looks in photographs and before different. Last Monday night, Zellweger attend the annual Women in Hollywood Celebration "Elle" magazine hosted her forehead smooth, like just fill out the ski slopes, although they are still clear blue eyes, but in some photos, look big and round, like a coin. Within 24 hours, if all detached news media have done a story, or is tweeting or blog, for the once Oscar-winning actress is disgusted faces. A day later, all the media has issued a chat, posts or news reports, for Zellweger and her new face defense. To Friday, we are still privately thinking Zellweger, which makes us all feel ashamed, but we really think.

We've all seen the face of eye-catching celebrity cosmetic marks. But Zellweger's new face has sparked heated debate. She is played by approachable, physical and mental health but fallible roles started. In "Dazed and Confused" (Dazedand Confused), she played a central region of the American Youth in "Jerry Maguire" (JerryMaguire), she also charming and amiable. She played Bridget Jones (BridgetJones) so that we can embrace their hearts heavy drinker insecurity. She let those of us who obesity, alcoholism, a pick a place to smoke, people who lose their jobs feel pretty good. In 2004, she with the "Cold Mountain" (ColdMountain) plays the role won an Oscar, it was a strong Southern woman, who runs a farm is about to collapse, even wring the chicken's neck were afraid. Even in terms of personal life, she also offers a hint of the real traces, so that women can contact them with their own experiences - 2005, she experienced with country singer Kenny Chesney (KennyChesney) and intense romance brief marriage, who did not break up over a period of sloppy past it?

Suddenly, we recognize that once made us feel at her to see our own people, this is simply too disturbing the.

Unlike in the past, so some people are very shocked that Zellweger and now that has a strange look and beautiful, like Cupid dolls, at that moment to say hello to win the man of our hearts, looks are not the same thing . No matter what method is used, she transforms herself into an upper-class people do nail achieved little commercial success actress, moderate politician wife. Zellweger looks very nice, but totally not Zellweger up.

Another surprising twist is that after the "Elle" party, the actress quickly to defend himself in the "People" (People) magazine, she said in a statement that his new look is from a healthy life, love, as well as lifestyle changes. "People think I do not look the same, it makes me feel happy!" She said. "I'm living a different life with the former, are happier, more fulfilling life, perhaps showing the results, so I am excited." As to why she should comment on, Zellweger said: "If I do not went to the door, those around me do not exist to explore the ugly truth that people are unwilling to leave my porch. "

Surgeons were quick to give their opinions. New York City plastic surgeon Michelle Copeland (MichelleCopeland) doctor said, Zellweger is probably doing eyelid plasty, or upper eyelid lift surgery, and perhaps do a forehead lift surgery, also injected broaden the face of the filler. Perhaps with a laser or ultrasonic tightened skin.

Coupland said that under the combined effect of all these measures, Zellweger has changed too much. "People know that she had a pair of slightly oblique, slightly bulging eyes," Coupland said the doctor. "The problem is that this feature is completely gone, and now she becomes simply not recognize it. She is very pretty, but still she? Or Jennifer Gray (JenniferGrey)?" (Coupland said the star of "Dirty Dancing "[DirtyDancing] actress, nose plastic surgery completely changed her appearance.)

Nancy Ait Cove is an evolutionary psychologist at Harvard University, author of "Survival of the prettiest: Beauty of Science" (Survivalof the Prettiest: The Science ofBeauty) a book, she said: "We are accustomed to witnessing bad the plastic surgery. two big basketball, Yuchun, swelling cheeks chest, but this time a little different. this is about a lot of subtle changes together, so that a person no longer looks like we remembered look. she looks a whole other person. "she did not grow old with us, but straight out of the road, into another identity.

A person's face is full of important biological information, Ait Primakov said. "They tell people who we are, who we have relationships with, and our feelings," she said. "We are the face of appreciation master. We can put a face from the thousands of faces, even the one million recognizable face in. If someone's face on their own what to do, so that his face became unrecognizable out, when this effect on our ability to recognize the face of an impact, this is indeed a shock. "

Barnard College President, "a wonderful woman: Sex, Power and the pursuit of perfection" (Wonder Women: Sex, Power and theQuest forPerfection), author Deborah · L · Barre (Debora L.Spar) said it thing that a woman over 39 years old are particularly disturbing because Zellweger is a homely beauty, her works praise defects, accept informal, this image has died of such variations, then the rest of us should be how to do?

"It is a terrible dilemma," Barre said, she noted that the whole affair is full of hypocrisy feeling. "On one hand, we are told, do not care about appearance, embrace the good heart, do not judge by appearances, but as a whole, we were talking all week poor Renee Zellweger's face."

Zellweger should stop bashing, and Barre said. "But that makes her seem something unique has now disappeared, and now she and millions of people is no different, that is, on the one million other person looks beautiful," she said.
