Bridget Jones author Helen Fielding is thrilled Renée Zellweger is back in the fourth installment of the series, Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. "She's so like Bridget in that she is so warm and kind. There's a gentleness about her, and it's real. There's nothing made up about that," Fielding told Newsweek in early February.

"Once Renée started playing the role, it all merged together," she said. "And from that point, I started writing Bridget as Renée, all mixed up together.... I write for her, seeing her, knowing what she does."

In a bonus episode of the Parting Shot, Fielding spoke with Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott about the legacy of Bridget Jones, her relationship with Zellweger, and whether she’ll write another Bridget Jones book.
