Bridget Jones: Edge of Divorce

When we first heard that RenÈe Zellweger had married our favorite boot-scooting boogier Kenny Chesney, we made a bet with our cat Mr. Muffleskin over how long the pairing would last. Mr. Muffleskin had no faith in the celebrity union and claimed that it would be over by the time that ham sandwich in our fridge started growing mold, while we felt that RenÈe and Kenny had found true and lasting love. It looks like Mr. Muffleskin may win that bet.

According to a friend of the couple, the marriage is unlikely to last until the first anniversary due to Chesneyís controlling behavior. The friend claims, "RenÈe had never even seen him lose his temper before the wedding, but now they're married he seems to think he can tell her what to do. He doesn't like her hanging out with friends and wants to get her away from L.A. When she tried to redecorate their new home in Connecticut he put his foot down and said it was too expensive and a waste of money." Kenny may be a huge star in the country-music world, but compared to RenÈeís movie-star status and her reported $15 million paycheck from Cold Mountain, heís like the cold leftover coffee in someone elseís lipstick-stained mug to her steaming fresh latte, and heís complaining about her wasting money? He may have had to watch his pennies and not spring for the really pretty cowboy hats before, but heís in the big leagues now. He needs to take some advice from Kevin Federline on spending the Mrs.ís money and live it up in a grand manner before heís served with divorce papers and sent back to hanging out with Travis Tritt and SHeDAISY at the state fair.
