Rail-thin Renee Zellweger is good at putting on weight and taking it off for acting roles. But her latest role as wife means that she just might be getting chubby permanently.

Ananova.com reports that her weight gain is "a belated wedding present for new hubby Kenny Chesney, who likes his women with something to hold on to." Why is Chesney so concerned with his new wife's frame? According to the item, the country crooner is worried that he might break her hand if he holds it too hard.

"Kenny's a bit of a southern boy and likes a little meat on a woman's bones," a tattler told Heat magazine.

Zellweger's goal is to gain 5 lbs. for Chesney.

So...if I gain 20 lbs., my husband will love me four times as much as Kenny loves Renee?

Theoretically?

At least it's a step in the right direction but maybe she should tell Kenny she prefers a man with a little hair on his head. Let's see what HE does about THAT.

Her "goal" is 5 lbs? I could gain that in one day.

Again, I shall ask, where is the Rene that we all loved in Jerry Maguire? This looks nothing like her.
