Renee Zelwegger On Wheels
Exclusive newsflash! Renee Zelwegger, best known for her roles in mainstream Hollywood hits Chicago, Cold Mountain and Bridget Jones, has been spotted on wheels! She was filming for a new movie, due out next year, called My Own Love Song. Zelwegger will play Jane, a wheelchair-using singer. I refuse to use the phrase “wheelchair bound” because I totally agree with the Facebook user who asked BBC Ouch’s rudest columnist, DisAbility Bitch, who first posted the link to this news on her Facebook page: why do people use the term wheelchair bound? its not like i am tied to my wheely & cant get out.
I also totally agree with all those who are asking why the makers of this movie could not have used a DisAbled actress to fill this role. After all, there are plenty. Just ask Sasha Hardway. Although, I suppose, DisAbled viewers of movies will have to crawl before we walk! Maybe we’re a century too early for that much progress in Hollywood!
