I know that you’re all freaking out over there with your banging fists and your hair tearing and the bloody foam at your lips, basically going crazy wondering when Renée Zellweger’s new movie is coming out, but you guys are going to need to relax, because she’s taking a much needed break and she’s not coming back to the big screen until she feels like it. Our hands are tied! From IMDB:

Renee Zellweger is taking a break from acting, so she can spend time doing nothing and “getting bored”.

The actress has worked non-stop since she shot to fame in the 1990s and hasn’t had time for any vacations.

But Zellweger admits she is in need of a break and has instructed her agent to turn down all movie offers until she’s fully rested.

She tells America’s Glamour magazine, “I’m working on getting bored, and it’s really hard! I need to sit still long enough to see where my brain goes. I’m taking time to figure out where I want to go and what I want to do next. In this line of work, you become so (defined by your job).”

And Zellweger insists she’s having fun rediscovering life’s simple pleasures.

She adds, “I’m actually going into the bathroom to use my bathroom stuff – rather than to the suitcase where I usually keep it. I’m learning how to use a chest of drawers! I am determined to sit still long enough to get past the existential crap of the moment.”

Haha. Relax, Renée Zellweger. Take as much time as you need. She instructed her agent to turn down all movie offers? Sure. The studio is just sitting on New In Town 2: Newer in Towner because they know they could never do it without her. Her agent is like, “Sorry boys, I’m in the dark just like you. We can only pray that when she’s ready to come back to movies, she lets us know.” Meanwhile, she’s learning how to use a chest of drawers. This is going to be some vacation!

  1. Good lord, I wish I could become so famous and busy for making scrunchy faces and yo-yo dieting and putting on a British accent a few times that I’m baffled at to use a freakin’ chest of drawers.

    I hear that Brad and Angelina don’t even know how to use forks and knives, though, so TOP THAT, Renee Zellweger!

  2. Boy, wait until she discovers escalators. That shit is CRAZY!

  3. She needs a break? Hasn’t she done only, like, two movies since “Chicago: The Only Good Movie Zellweger Has Done?” Has she been doing Japanese commercials the rest of the time?

    “For scrunchy-faced times, make it Suntory time.”

  4. i’m glad she gets to be just like everyone else now, what with how we all get to use our bathroom stuff. ah, the joys of a medicine cabinet, right? it’s unbelievable how fast she’s going to “get bored.”

    Of course! The only reason you can make the Bridget Jones sequel is because you are an extreme workaholic!!! Renee, please rest…. a lot!

  6. “In this line of work, you become so (defined by your job).” Yeah, like no one else who has to work hard every day can say that. Actors are so hard done by!

  7. I think you mean “lets us know”. I’m sorry, I hate myself too.

  8. Shit. Now they’re never gonna finish production on 3 Bridget 3 Jones. I want to empty my wallet, Hollywood, but you just won’t let me!

    I dunno. Seems like she’s taken a break from acting her whole career.
