Why We Need To Leave Renée Zellweger’s Face The F*ck Alone
By now, most of us have seen Renée Zellweger’s “facial transformation” that was posted to nearly every website and blog in existence. If you haven’t, this picture refers to what we’re talking about: This response from the media was prompted after Zellweger was seen at the 2014 ELLE Women In Hollywood Awards on Monday night.

I’m not going to deny that this post was originally going to be along…
