GEORGE CLOONEY - TRAVOLTA FOR BRIDGET JONES?

The producers of the BRIDGET JONES'S DIARY sequel have turned to JOHN TRAVOLTA to provide the romance after GEORGE CLOONEY was vetoed by lead star RENEE ZELLWEGER.

The CHICAGO actress told producers their first choice of Clooney to take over from COLIN FIRTH as the love interest was unsuitable because of a previous relationship between the pair.

However, the undeterred producers have now approached PULP FICTION star Travolta to star in the adaptation of HELEN FIELDING's follow-up novel BRIDGET JONES: THE EDGE OF REASON.
