Folks just can't stop talking about Renée Zellweger!
As the Hollywood star made a rare red carpet appearance Monday night at Elle's Women in Hollywood Awards, many fans couldn't help but notice a change in her look.
After some were quick to judge the 45-year-old, Zellweger decided to speak out in hopes of quashing all the chatter.
"I'm glad folks think I look different! I'm living a different, happy, more fulfilling life, and I'm thrilled that perhaps it shows," she told People. "It seems the folks who come digging around for some nefarious truth which doesn't exist won't get off my porch until I answer that door."
Lucky for Zellweger, the actress is getting some much deserved support from her peers in the Hollywood community.
Today show co-host Kathie Lee Gifford defended the actress Wednesday morning on-air. "Let her be and don't be so mean spirited about her choices," she explained. "I think she looks beautiful."
The View co-host Nicole Wallace also thinks the chatter can open up a whole separate conversation on women and beauty. "I think the reality is that there is an unending pressure on women to look forever young," she shared.
So what does the rest of Hollywood have to say? Take a look at what the stars are saying on Twitter below.

Why would Renee Zellweger change her face? Maybe because all people do is ridicule her face?
