Minutes after the star of 'New in Town' got involved in a car accident, her actor boyfriend who is rumored to have done some ring shopping comes to her rescue.
Fresh from her car crash back in August 2009, Renee Zellweger has got involved in another fender bender. On Thursday, January 28, the leading lady of "My One and Only" was nearly rammed by another car when she was climbing into her black Prius outside of Bradley Cooper's new home in the Pacific Palisades.
TMZ reported the 40-year-old actress, who was spotted dressed in workout gear, made a quick stop at the house which is still undergoing some construction just before 9 A.M. on the particular morning. When she returned to her car and opened the door to get in, a passing SUV smashed into the open door, barely missing on hitting her but causing a large dent in the door.
Zellweger was left uninjured and no police was called to the scene. According to witness on the scene as quoted by E! News, the actress "didn't seem upset" and was " in good spirits" with the older woman who struck the door. The source further mentioned that following the incident, both parties "got out, [Renee] took pictures of the damage, they exchanged information".
Minutes later, Renee Zellweger's boyfriend, Bradley Cooper, was spotted arrived to the accident scene. After doing some brief checking of the damaged car door, the Academy Award-winning actress' co-star in "Case 39" whisked her away from the accident scene.
In another news, Cooper has been rumored to have done some ring shopping in New York for his leading lady. In Touch Weekly reported that the actor did it before making an appearance on "Late Show with David Letterman" on January 7. "He already has a setting he likes, but he visited various jewelers on 47th Street, including I. Friedman & Son, to look for a stone," an insider said.
Going to the store alone, the star of "The Hangover" made sure he didn't draw attention to himself. "He wore a hat and dark glasses and just walked right in," the insider further stated. Of the possible proposal, the source added, "He'll probably get down on one knee and propose in a romantic setting - and I wouldn't be surprised if it was on Valentine's Day."
