Renee Zellweger is gaining 20 pounds for her “Bridget Jones” sequel. But that’s nothing compared with how much fatter her paycheck has gotten: She’ll be making more than $22 million to reprise the role of the British singleton, up from the $3.75 million she initially scored.

Answer: True. The actress reportedly hesitated to take the role again because of the weight gain required. But $22 million can buy a lot of fries and milkshakes.
