Renee Zellweger Gets Married!

Huh? Just days after Us Weekly reported that America's favorite movie star with the sour-tart smile, Renee Zellweger, was dating country crooner Kenny Chesney, her publicist confirms that the two were married on Monday in the Virgin Islands. Although yours truly is a confirmed country music fan (just another 'for granted' fact of growing up in the South), Kenny Chesney never sparked much passion for me, although "The Good Stuff" was a fun little nostalgic song. For (most) of you who have no clue who he is, below are interesting tidbits about Mr. Renee...

According to Country Weekly magazine, Chesney long ago named Zellweger as his favorite actress and was inspired to write his 1999 hit "You Had Me From Hello" after seeing her in "Jerry Maguire." (AP)

Chesney also made headlines in 2000, when he hopped on a police officer's horse at a fair in New York state. Chesney said he had permission, but when the officer tried to pull him off, touring pal Tim McGraw blocked the policeman's efforts. Both men were acquitted for their alleged crimes -- Chesney for disorderly conduct, McGraw for obstructing governmental administration and resisting arrest. The publicity was priceless, as Chesney found himself with his highest media exposure to date. (CMT)
