As depressing as this is to admit, I don’t think I would have noticed how skinny Reese Witherspoon and Renee Zellweger looked last night if not for this Daily Mail article. Once it was pointed out, I do have to say – damn, these are some skinny girls. Looking at them makes me want a bucket of fried chicken. Anyway, Reese and Renee were at the opening of a Vera Wang boutique in Los Angeles last night, and they posed together for some photos, and now everyone is talking about how skinny they both are. Oh, and Evan Lysacek was there too. Because Wang designed his skating outfits. Anyway, back to Renee and Reese:

She’s rumoured to be filming a third Bridget Jones film later this year. But petite Renée Zellweger showed no sign of piling on the pounds as she posed for photographs at a Vogue party in Hollywood last night.

The 40-year-old actress dazzled in a burgundy corset and black pencil skirt – but fellow star Reese Witherspoon appeared even skinnier in a crushed purple silk mini-dress.

Both put on a friendly display and cosied up on the red carpet to have their photos taken at the dinner party, held in honour of fashion designer Vera Wang’s new store.

For her first two films as Helen Fielding’s diary-writing assistant, Renée piled two stone on to her tiny frame and then rapidly shed the pounds afterwards.

Her agent recently denied rumours the actress, who is dating fellow star Bradley Cooper, has refused to put on weight for the film, saying ‘Renee more than anyone would be true to the character’.

Meanwhile Reese looks to have got even skinnier in recent months, following her split from Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal two months ago.

Although her broken heart could well be on the mend as the Walk The Line actress has been spotted on several dates with dashing Hollywood agent Jim Toth.

Even though Reese is physically smaller in frame than Renee, Reese looks healthier to my eyes. Probably because I can’t count every bone in her top half. Here’s another question – why does Renee refuse to do her hair for red carpet events these days? Yes, her hair is short these days and it’s probably hard to do a lot with it, but still. This is the second event in two weeks where her bad hair ruins the ensemble.
