Renee Zellweger debuts a VERY different style as she's seen for first time in Only Murders in the Building
When Renée Zellweger is not in front of the cameras she's normally seen sporting athleisure attire and her beloved, ratty Texas Longhorns cap.
But the 56-year-old actress looked like every bit the English equestrian while clad in a beige-knit turtleneck sweater, dressage jodhpurs, and riding boots while filming Only Murders in the Building in Manhattan on April 29.
Renée sat on her director's chair between fellow new cast members Logan Lerman and Christoph Waltz, whom she excitedly chatted with on the Arconia set.
On April 23, OMITB creator-star Steve Martin shared a snap of the camera crew where Zellweger could be seen dressed in the same exact costume in the monitor.
The two-time Oscar winner was costumed in a blue neckerchief and matching slacks with her hair coiffed in a sixties flip while posing with co-stars and a couple of crew members on April 7.
Renée's first official day on set was March 26, but her polished character is still a mystery in the 10-episode fifth season of Hulu hit show centered on solving Arconia doorman Lester's (Teddy Coluca) murder.
Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short are said to earn well over $600K/episode to produce and star in the critically-acclaimed who-done-it.
Martin Short's rumored girlfriend Meryl Streep is set to reprise her role as his onscreen girlfriend's Loretta Durkin as well as Michael Cyril Creighton as Arconia resident Howard Morris.
Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, and Jermaine Fowler have also joined the SAG Award-winning ensemble for season five.
Zellweger hasn't done a lot of work on TV aside from NBC miniseries The Thing About Pam in 2022, a failed Lifetime pilot Cinnamon Girl in 2012, and one episode of Fox animated sitcom King of the Hill in 2001.
Earlier this year, the Big Picture Company co-founder reprised her role as the accident-prone TV producer in Michael Morris' four-quel Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, which amassed $134.9M at the global box office.
The prior trilogy amassed a combined $756.4M at the global box office.
Renée was previously attached to produce and star in Peacock's WWII Air Force series Avenger Field as well as star in Michael Patrick King's revenge flick The Back Nine, but both projects appeared to have stalled.

Cara Delevingne flaunts her incredible abs in crop top as she parties with pals at WeHo Pride Parade
Cara Delevingne flaunted her supermodel physique in a crop top and jorts as she partied with her pals at the WeHo Pride Parade on Sunday. The British model, 32 - who describes herself as queer and pansexual - turned heads as she enjoyed a day out at the three-day festival. She was pictured out and about celebrating diversity and the LGBTQ + alongside the likes of Jodie Sweetin and Sutton Stracke at West Hollywood Park. Cara recently attended the Cannes Film Festival, and it seems the party doesn't stop there as she continued into the month of June over the weekend. She looked in good spirits as she was seen waving a huge branded fan above her head whilst pictured on the street and in a vintage Cadillac coupe car. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Cara looked incredible in a grungy outfit, which saw her wearing a cropped white vest and black suit jorts with her purple thong peeping out, which she paired with a cream crochet vest. She added some huge sunglasses and a pair of heavy duty boots to complete the look. The model's eccentric display of tattoos were on show, and she seemed to be having a good time in animated snaps. Meanwhile, she was joined by other famous faces at the parade, as they posed in a vintage Cadillac coupe together. It comes after she managed to avoid an awkward run-in with her 'ex-girlfriend' Paris Jackson last month as they were both spotted out and about in Cannes. It was seven years ago, a then 19-year-old Paris and 25-year-old Cara seemingly went public with their relationship after months of speculation. The pair - who have matching red rose tattoos - were spotted sealing their love with a passionate kiss at the end of a double date with Paris's actor godfather Macaulay Culkin and his girlfriend. Paris is now engaged to music producer Justin Long, announcing her engagement at the end of last year. Cara is now dating girlfriend Minke, after the couple met when they were students at the £52,000-per-year Bedales boarding school in Hampshire. However, they only started dating in 2022 after being reunited at an Alanis Morissette concert. Cara has credited Minke with helping her stay on the road to sobriety. She told Elle UK last July: 'My girlfriend has been really wonderful in introducing me to a lot of things and people. 'Being with my girlfriend, in this relationship, there are just so many things that came at once that have made me so happy and comfortable with who I am.' Cara and Minke have kept a low profile since confirming their budding romance three years ago. The supermodel, who came out as pansexual in 2020, opened up to Vogue during a recent interview. 'It was more that I just decided to put my cards on the table and say, "look, I'm in love, I'm in love with who I'm in love with",' she stated about 'coming out'. 'I was done with being ashamed for who I loved and who I was. So for me it was more just being like, love is love, and we should be able to love who we want.'

Travis Barker's daughter Alabama, 19, welcomes adorable new member of her family amid Bhad Bhabie feud
Travis Barker 's daughter Alabama Barker has welcomed a new member to her family. The daughter of beauty queen Shanna Moakler, 50, has adopted an adorable French Bulldog. She showcased the new puppy in two sweet photos posted to her Instagram Stories. In one photo she snuggled the sweet dog to her neck and captioned it, 'Good morning!! My baby.' In the other photo, the puppy laid on its back exposing its little belly to the camera. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She didn't mention in her post if she had settled on a name for the cute dog yet. She captioned a since-deleted video, '@pawznclawzfrenchies @stone_highland_frenchies THANK YOU SO MUCH! I love my baby.' It's fitting that Alabama would choose to adopt a Frenchie over other breeds, as her dad Travis has already owned at least five of the snubbed-nosed dogs. In addition to Alabama, Travis also shares sons Landon, 21, and stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, 26, with Shanna, as well as son Rocky Barker, 18 months, with wife Kourtney Kardashian. In 2022, Alabama shared her devastation when her family's beloved dog Blue passed away. 'You will never understand how much you helped me on my darkest days,' she wrote on her Instagram Story at the time. 'You slept next to me, the way I would throw your ball and you would run with excitement, or the eyes you had that just touched everybody, I'll never forget you my baby.' She added that Blue will 'have the most amazing time up in doggy heaven,' and added, 'Until we meet again my love.' In March, the teenager debuted her new boyfriend, UCLA football player Scooter Jackson. The athlete used to be at Utah Tech but only recently transferred to Los Angeles. I This comes after the blonde pinup shared she had received six dozen off-white roses for Valentine's Day from a suitor. This follows a strange time for Alabama after some drama with another star. In February, Bhad Bhabie released a track called Ms. Whitman that dragged Alabama, the Kardashians and her dad Travis into the feud. The title of the song Ms. Whitman refers to the 1993 film True Romance and the character Alabama Whitman, whom Alabama was actually named after. The intro of the song features a sample of Kim Kardashian's ex-husband Kanye West's song Carnival. And she takes it another step further by bringing up the long-standing rumor that her stepmom Kourtney began dating Travis after he was rejected by Kim. Bhabie, born Danielle Bregoli, also rapped about Alabama being 'kicked out of the Kardashian house' for having a 'stanky p****.' The feud ignited in December after Bhabie accused Alabama of being a homewrecker and stealing her now-ex Le Vaughn, which she has since denied. After the music video and song dropped, Alabama took to her stories to react, sharing a selfie with a cryptic message implying she was releasing a retaliation rap track. In a since-deleted post from December, Bhabie wrote: '@alabamaluellabarker took my man.' She also posted emojis of a melting face as well as a boxing glove. In a follow-up post, she added: 'I told him next time I catch you. You gon be with them!' Then, she declared that she was 'single' in a one-worded post. Barker later addressed the claims on her own Instagram account and said that she had 'no interest' in Vaughn. She also said that it was Le Vaughn who has been contacting her and 'confessing his feelings' for her for nearly a year. In a lengthy post, she wrote: 'I want to be clear: I have no interest in this man, nor would I ever lower myself to be with someone who has been physically abusive towards women.' She said that after learning that he was in a relationship with Bregoli, she 'apologized multiple times' to the rapper - who welcomed daughter Kali Love with Le Vaughn last year.

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on swinging scandals, friendship fallouts and religious backlash
From allegations of infidelity to swinging scandals, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives offers a look into a version of Mormon life far removed from traditional public in suburban Utah, the TV series follows a group of Mormon women – most of whom rose to fame on TikTok and became MomTok influencers – as they manage scandals, confront marital breakdowns and clash over everything from business ventures to party beneath the sensational plotlines is a more complex story about the evolving dynamics within a tight-knit group of Mormon mothers have been making content online for the past five years but say the concept of reality TV still feels very new to them. "I've heard that eventually people learn how to play the reality TV game but that's not us yet, we're still trying to figure it out," Jessi Ngatikaura tells the BBC. "So you're getting to see the real us." What started off as a hobby has now become a job and the women speak openly on the show about the amount of money they make from reality TV and brand deals."It is totally our job now but we chose this and we could all walk away any time if we didn't want to be part of it," Jessi says. Whitney Leavitt explains that "naturally dynamics will change when there's more money and family involved and definitely some people get competitive" but reassures me the group are still friends off camera. Across the two seasons of the show, Jessi and Whitney have had challenging storylines play out - Whitney is presented as the villain in season one and at the end of season two it is alleged Jessi has had an affair. The pair speak candidly about the impact having your life watched and commented on by millions of people worldwide has had on them. "It's been hard coming to terms with the fact we have no control over the narrative and you don't ever really get over it," Whitney explains. "But you have to accept that and let it go."As the show follows the lives of nine friends, it's easy to see how some of them may create more drama for themselves in order to guarantee some screen time but Jessi insists that's not the case and no one "plays up but naturally emotions are heightened"."We're actually recording four or five days a week so we don't know what will make the final edit."Jessi says her explosive Halloween party was not manufactured by producers and there is just "naturally so much drama that we don't need to create more just for the show". 'Lots of resentment' Given the intensity of drama and filming demands, the presence of strong aftercare is essential and both women praise the production for its duty of care standards. "There are always therapists on hand and at first I was like why are Taylor and Jen having therapy all the time and now I'm having five or six hours of it a week," Jessi confesses. "I've found it's useful even if you're not going through a hard time." Whitney also accessed some aftercare in season one after being presented as the villain of the show."It totally sucked being the villain and I was angry, had a lot of resentment and was really sad. There were so many overwhelming emotions for me but I was proud that instead of running away I stayed and had those hard conversations I didn't want to have," Whitney says. Whitney was one of the members of the MomTok group that Taylor Frankie Paul publicly revealed was involved in "soft swinging", something she denies and caused a rift to form in their friendship. The open discussions around sex, marital affairs and alcohol on the show has caused some backlash from the Mormon church. "When the first trailer came out there was some backlash from the church because they were scared but actually we're showing you how we live the Mormon life and we all live it differently," Whitney says. Jessi adds the docudrama shows how "we are all normal and everyday girls, not people wearing bonnets and churning butter like you might think". The women say that not only has the church come to accept the show, they are also helping young women think about their faith differently. "We've definitely influenced people to question their faith, dive deeper into it or be more honest about it and I've had messages from some people saying that they're joining the church because of me," Jessi says. While their religion plays an important part of their life, they're keen to tell me that they are not the face of Mormonism. "There are Mormons who still get upset about it but we're just showing our version of it and I think that's empowering as hopefully people can relate to our stories and struggles."
