Jennifer Aniston defends Renee Zellweger's new look

Actress Jennifer Aniston has defended Renee Zellweger after she sparked speculation she has undergone cosmetic surgery with her dramatically different appearance.

Zellweger was photographed in October (14) in images that sparked rumors she had gone under the knife, but Aniston has defended the actress' altered look and branded the gossip sexist.

The former Friends star tells the New York Times, "We're very much a sexist society. Did she really look that different? You can't hide those pouty little lips...

"I think you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. You're either too fat ,'oh my God, she's gained weight', or 'she's so skeletal, get some meat on her bones'. I've been on too-thin lists."
