Meghan Trainor feels no regret using weight-loss drugs
Grammy winner Meghan Trainor and her husband Daryl have both turned to prescription medication in an effort to lose weight. The "All About That Bass' hittmaker said that she doesn't have any regrets about her decision.
Trainor, who has been married to Daryl since 2018, said on the 'Workin' On It' podcast: "We heard more and more of our friends - and even our doctors - were on Mounjaro and Ozempic."
The singer and Daryl decided to try the medication after learning that it has "less side effects" than other weight-loss drugs, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The "Dear Future Husband' hitmaker quipped: "Daryl and I both do everything together."
Despite this, the singer stressed that it wasn't an easy fix, explaining that she still needed to work hard in the gym in order to lose weight.
She said: "We were like, 'We have to make sure we don't lose muscle that we worked so hard gaining all those years'. We stay in the gym, we work out, we eat right, and we just noticed that we were less hungry."
She had previously addressed her weight-loss after her slimmed-down appearance at the Billboard Women in Music event in March attracted attention.
She wrote on Instagram: "Feeling so honored to be recognized by @billboard Women in Music as a Hitmaker - what a dream!
"But it's a little disheartening that so many of the questions (and comments) were focused on my body instead of my music, my passion, or the decade of hard work that got me here. This is what it's like to be a woman in the music industry.
"No, I don't look like I did 10 years ago. I've been on a journey to be the healthiest, strongest version of myself for my kids and for me. I've worked with a dietician, made huge lifestyle changes, started exercising with a trainer, and yes, I used science and support (shoutout to Mounjaro!) to help me after my 2nd pregnancy. And I'm so glad I did because I feel great.
"Here's to celebrating talent, growth, and the power of putting yourself first. Let's keep shifting the convo to what REALLY matters. With love (sic)."

She's stepping into the spotlight as a solo artist: Her debut album, "Who I Really Am,' was released Friday.

Pop singer Jessie J says she has been diagnosed with early breast cancer
The English pop singer Jessie J says she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and will undergo surgery after her performance at the London music festival Capital's Summertime Ball next weekend. Jessie J, 37, shared the news in an Instagram video on Wednesday. "I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,' she said in the clip. "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding onto the word 'early'." "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive (expletive) and more music.' The annual Summertime Ball will be held at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, June 15. She told her social media audience that she felt compelled to share her diagnosis. "I just wanted to be open and share it,' she said. "One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories. I'm an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse - that's the bit that kills me.' The Grammy-nominated Jessie J has long been celebrated for her robust soprano and R&B-informed pop hits, like the 2014 collaboration with Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande, "Bang Bang,' and 2011's "Domino.' She has released five albums across her career, most recently, 2018's Christmas album, "This Christmas Day.' She has been releasing new music in 2025, including the singles "Living My Best Life' and "No Secrets.' A new album is expected later this year. She has a son, Sky Safir Cornish Colman, born in 2023. A representative for Jessie J did not immediately respond to The Associated Press' request for comment. Associated Press

Sabrina Carpenter reveals real inspiration behind 'Manchild'
Grammy winning-singer Singer Sabrina Carpenter has finally revealed the real reason behind her latest song "Manchild", amid speculation that it was inspired by a former partner. The 26-year-old "Busy Woman" singer shared a candid caption explaining how her latest single came about. According to the 'Espresso' hitmaker, she wrote "Manchild" on "a random" Tuesday with Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff, not long after she finished her sixth album, Short n' Sweet, reports "It ended up being the best random Tuesday of my life," Carpenter wrote on Instagram. Between cheeky photos from the set of her new single, which is out now, she confessed it was "so fun to write." "But this song became to me something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life. It sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never ending road trip in the summer ! Hence why I wanted to give it to you now- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long!" She added: "and thank you men for testing me!!." Though neither Carpenter's song nor her Instagram caption makes mention of any one of her former partners in particular, the "Feather" singer was most recently linked to Barry Keoghan. The former couple first sparked romance rumors as they were spotted grabbing dinner together in Los Angeles in early December 2023 before taking a break the following December. Carpenter gained prominence starring in the series Girl Meets World. She released her debut single, "Can't Blame a Girl for Trying" in 2014, followed by the studio albums Eyes Wide Open, Evolution, Singular: Act I, and Singular: Act II. Her sixth studio album, Short n' Sweet, topped the US Billboard 200, produced the top-three US Billboard Hot 100 singles "Espresso", "Please Please Please" and "Taste", and won two Grammy Awards.
