In no particular order, these are the lovers that I think Bridget Jones should take comfort in once the book is inevitably turned into a movie (and Bridge has gone through the 5 Stages of Grief, of course):

The Crotchity Old Man Who She Ends Up With At The End:

The Hot Shot American Financier-Turned-Silicon Valley Billionaire Who Gives Hugh Grant A Run For His Money:

Elton John

The Young, Available British Bartender Who's Way Too Immature, But Oh So Sexy:

For The How Stella Got Her Groove Back Fantasy Scene:

The Hot PTA Mom Who Coerces Bridget To Take A Dip In The Lady Pond:

The Older Gentleman Who Secretly Wears Ladies' Lingerie:

Of course, regardless of who she ends up with, we'll still like Bridget... Just the way she is.
