It seems Renee Zellweger considers her lifestyle to be perfect, and that is why she does not believe in making New Year resolutions.
The 38-year-old Bridget Jones star says that she does not depend on New Year’s resolutions to keep her life in order, for she makes amendments in her lifestyle as and when she feels it necessary.
“I dont do New Year’s resolutions. If it needs fixing I just fix it when I need to,” the Sun quoted Zellweger, as saying.
The Oscar-winning actress criticized girls like Paris Hilton for using the Hollywood party scene to become celebrities recently.
She also slammed the Hollywood-clubbing scene, saying that young girls had been using partying to become famous. Zellweger said that she had no sympathy for Los Angeles new breed of socialites-turned-screen stars.

Nicole Kidman and her husband of 18 months are expecting their first baby, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The Oscar-winning actress and Keith Urban, the country and western singer she calls the "love of my life", broke the news to their families over the Christmas holiday.
The 40-year-old Australian star had already spoken of "winding down" her film-making activities as much as possible next year.
The baby, whose expected arrival date has not yet been revealed, will be the actress's first natural child.
She adopted Isabella, 14, and twelve-year-old Conor during her first marriage to Tom Cruise.
Miss Kidman was stunned when he filed for divorce in 2001.
Shortly after they split, she revealed that she had suffered an ectopic pregnanacy and a miscarriage during the marriage.
Miss Kidman spent her Christmas holiday in Syndey, after finshing work on Baz Lurhmann's epic romantic adventure film "Australia" on December 21.
She is due to film The Reader with Ralph Fiennes and British director Stephen Daldry in Berlin next month, but has no more cinema work planned after that.
"I just want to spend as much time as possible with my husband," she told the Daily Mail.
Earlier this month the actress also dismissed the idea of returning to the stage next year.
"It wouldn't fit in with the logistics and dynamics of my family", she said - a remark given extra meaning by the news of her pregnancy.
Her most recently-released film is the extravagant fantasy The Golden Compass.
Although the film was attacked by some critics, the actress's performance as the glamorous villain Mrs Coulter won wide praise.

Under the watchful eye of the school's headmistress (Natasha Richardson) and surrounded by a new circle of friends, Poppy begrudgingly realizes her bad-girl behavior will only get her so far. But just because she must grow into a fine young lady doesn't mean this Wild Child won't be spending every waking hour shaking up a very proper system...

And I'll say, 'Yes, Miley, I'm going to brush my teeth.' And she'll say, 'No, now. You have to brush them now.' She's obsessed with it!"
"I tape Hannah Montana so I can study myself. You gotta love TiVo."
"Judge Judy is my idol. I was freaked out when I met her. I was like, 'Oh my goodness, what do I say to her? What if she thinks I'm weird? But she was the nicest lady ever and her grandkids love my show."
"It's so weird. I like shrimp. I'll sit an eat a whole thing of shrimp. I'm a vegetarian, but that's the only 'meat' I eat."

Lindsay Lohan’s ex-boyfriend Riley Giles, whom she met during her time at the Cirque Lodge rehab center in Utah, is now speaking out to a British tabloid about Lindsay’s personal life.
In a new interview with Britain’s News of the World, Giles says that Lohan is a sex addict and he goes into somewhat graphic description of what they did together and tells of what she looks like without clothes on.
Giles asserts to the tabloid that Lohan “quit coke & got hooked on sex with me.” He also describes a mountain cabin getaway where the two went to escape rehab together. He says they locked the door, tore off their clothes and went at it “like rabbits.”
"The first time we had sex I couldn’t believe I was looking down at Lindsay Lohan naked. We’d barely gotten through the door when we just ripped each other’s clothes off.” Riley Giles tells Britains News of the World.
Giles’ interview reportedly came with a hefty price tag.
News of the world writes that “the wild-child actress craved marathon nights of lust as she broke off her lethal love affair with drink and cocaine.”
Giles directly quoted to them that, “Lindsay’s definitely a nymphomaniac. She’s wild in bed. We’d have sex a couple of times in the day and then go to it through the night ... We once did it four times in a row straight. That was crazy. Lindsay was insatiable. She’d demand sex again and again. We’d go at it for hours. She’d have worn out most guys.”
More quotes from Riley to News of the World included:
“If you have an addictive personality like Lindsay you need that to replace the highs you got from taking drugs all the time. Sex became a key part of her recovery. And we didn’t get out of bed for days. (The cabin) was the perfect place — roaring fires with amazing views over the Sundance ski resort. Lindsay is so hot. She has a great body. Her backside is fantastic, perfect, all plump and round. She has great curves but her belly is nice and flat and toned. We couldn’t get enough of each other. Lindsay would tell me she loved me and I’d say that to her, too ... And I don’t say that to a lot of girls."
"She told me she’d only ever had three serious boyfriends — and I’m one of them. We even planned on getting a house and living together out here in Utah. We were together every day for a month and after that I could tell she really loved me a lot by the way she cried and cried when we had to say goodbye at the airport."
“I worry because it must be very difficult to keep up your recovery ... I couldn’t do it. Lindsay has a very addictive personality.”

Paris Hilton has done it. Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie both (barely) did it. And then there's Michelle Rodriguez, Kiefer Sutherland... Heck, this year it seems like just about every celebrity has spent a little time in the gray-bar hotel. And if Britney Spears continues her past behavior in her ongoing custody dispute, sources tell OK! she may very well end up spending some time in lockdown herself.
OK! has confirmed with sources close to the ongoing custody war between Britney and ex-hubby Kevin Federline that the pop star is — once again — scheduled next week to be deposed by K-Fed's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan. However, as the 25-year-old mother of two has blown off over a half-dozen previously scheduled attempts at being deposed — including two depositions ordered by the court! — many insiders are convinced that she will be a no-show for this one as well. But considering the potentially dire consequences for Brit, she might want to think twice before oversleeping or calling in sick next week.
"She could go to jail for contempt of court if she refuses to show," one legal eagle confirms to OK!. "That would be extreme for a child custody hearing, but not outside the realm of possibility." More likely, explains the courtroom insider, K-Fed's team could ask the court to impose monetary sanctions on Britney, who is already footing the bill for Kevin's legal expenses!
As things stand right now, barring any more emergency hearings, lawyers for Britney and Kevin are not due back in court until February, with the final custody hearing expected to start April 9.

Will Smith hit it big over the weekend with "I Am Legend," which has taken in $137 million in just two weeks - but if producers had had their way, the film would have starred Arnold Schwarzenegger.
An insider who once headed a movie company said, "That script was floating around Hollywood for 12 years. Arnold was originally attached to it right after the box office success of 'Terminator 2,' but all of a sudden he decided he wasn't interested and the project was shelved."
Instead, Schwarzenegger went on to star in "Last Action Hero" and "Collateral Damage" before becoming California's governor.

Just when you think she can’t do it again, she does. Britney Spears kicked off her holiday weekend with a bizarre trip around the greater L.A. area that included profanity-laced tirades, hours of aimless driving, scuffles with paparazzi, a stop at a hotel and several trips to gas station bathrooms.
Her escapades began just after midnight Saturday, Dec. 22, when Spears, driving her Mercedes with the headlights off and the trunk open, made a trip to Rite-Aid. “I have to buy stuff for my babies,” Spears told photographers, reports People. After testing and not buying several deodorant sprays, the mag reports that she bought Lucky Charms cereal, Purex laundry detergent, chocolate chip cookies, and a 32-inch plush horse. (Is this what babies want these days? Just asking.)
The following night, Dec. 23, in the same turquoise top (sans bra) and jeans as the previous day, Britney left her home and drove to a gas station where she used the restroom and witnesses overheard her unleashing a profanity-filled tirade at a friend over her cell phone, according to OK! magazine. Spears visited two more gas-station restrooms during the next hour, and drove aimlessly around L.A. blowing through one red light after another, according to the mag.
Later that same day, Spears invited a photographer who she’s called “cute” to the Peninsula Hotel, where they stayed until Britney (and the photographer) left. Spears then returned to her house to await the arrival of her sons.
If this is Britney’s way of taking the spotlight off her impregnated 16-year-old sister, she’s doing a fine job.

"Barbados-born sensation Rihanna is gracing the cover of the January 2008 issue of Allure magazine and opens up on being bullied for being white, her relationship with Beyonce, Josh Hartnett and her new haircut.
On being bullied at school for being too 'white': “I was a little confused as a kid because I grew up with my mum, and my mum is black. So I was cultured in a very ‘black’ way. But when I go to school, I’m getting called ‘white’. They would look at me and would curse me out. I didn’t understand. I just knew I saw people of all different shades and I was light. Now I’m in a much bigger world.”
On Relationship with Beyonce:“She’s Beyonce, and I’m (her) new protegee. When we see each other we say hi. We’re not enemies, but we’re not `friends’ friends.”
On dating Josh Harnett rumors:“This is what really happened. He and my management, they have each other’s contact information. I went to (the New York club) Pink Elephant, and he came by. All of a sudden, the next day, I’m seeing that we were kissing and hugging up each other. You can’t even go out with a friend who’s a celebrity and have a good time without people making (bleep) up. Well, at least he’s good-looking, right?”
On her “edgy” haircut:“The label didn’t want me to do this look. But cutting my hair, it made me stand out as an artist. I don’t care who likes it — this is me.”

Two women tried to revive Kanye West's mother after she had a heart attack and stopped breathing, according to emergency 911 recordings released Monday.
An unidentified woman tells a male emergency dispatcher during the call that Donda West recently had surgery. She says West just had a heart attack, has stopped breathing and moving, and is "cold and clammy," according to the call released by the Los Angeles Fire Department.
The woman says she and another unidentified woman are trying to administer CPR.
"Are you doing it?" the dispatcher asks. "... Does anybody know how? That's what I already asked you."
As the two women talk, the dispatcher appears to grow frustrated.
"Ma'am, let me tell you how to do this. You need to listen. You're not listening to what I'm telling you. You're not helping the person at all. ... Have the other people be quiet so I can tell you what to do."
The dispatcher then instructs the woman in CPR, telling her to clear West's mouth and administer breaths. The women attempt to resuscitate West, but she doesn't respond. Soon after, paramedics arrive, and the dispatcher hangs up.
West, 58, was rushed to a hospital where she was pronounced dead Nov. 10, the day after she underwent breast reduction, tummy tuck and liposuction procedures.
