Madison Beer stuns in a plunging white corset and angel wings as she films new music video in LA
Madison Beer stunned in a pair of angel wings as she filmed her new music video in Los Angeles on Sunday. The Reckless hitmaker, 26, put on a sizzling display in a white corset and feathered wings at the property in Hancock Park. Adding to the Victoria's Secret-esque feel to the look, she wore her long hair down in natural waves with minimal makeup. The star was also seen posing with a heart locket and a small heart ring while wearing what appeared to be a nightdress. Beer, who has no public boyfriend, was all smiles as she chatted away with a male companion on the set of the music video. The singer's latest album, MB3, is set to be released later this year. Beer was first discovered as a very young teenager when Justin Bieber shared a link to her YouTube cover of Etta James's At Last in 2012. She went on to release her first original single in 2013, Melodies, which notably featured Bieber in its music video. However, this was also around the time that Beer endured an incredibly traumatic experience when her nudes were leaked by 'a boy I really liked at the time'. In an interview with Cosmopolitan earlier this year, Beer revealed that the person who had shared her videos when she was younger recently reached out to her and apologised for the damage done. Beer said that he said, 'I had no idea that I hurt you like this. I'm so sorry.' She then admitted that she didn't think he was acting maliciously when he was younger - just that he was a kid and acting like one. And though his acts weighed heavily - having first opened up about her suicide attempts in 2023 - she said that she's learned to leave it in the past. 'Sometimes you've got to just let it go,' she said to the outlet. Beer, who has no public boyfriend, was all smiles as she chatted away with a male companion on the set of the music video 'I tried to go the other way and kill myself, and don't get me wrong, I still have those moments. 'But I was like, "I need to first prove all these people wrong. And second, maybe I can help someone out there who sees themselves in me in any way." 'I like to think that everything I went through and continue to go through is because I'm strong enough to survive and tell the story.' She continued: 'Just because I'm okay with it now doesn't mean I deserved to go through it. As much as people mistreated me, who I really have a bone to pick with is the internet.' That boy, unnamed by Beer, then went on to share the pictures and videos with his friends, which eventually led to the leaking of those nude photos and videos online. But despite this difficult experience, which saw Beer diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), she has gone from strength to strength in her music career. Most recently, her 2024 solo singles Make You Mine and 15 Minutes topped the US Dance / Mixed Show Airplay charts.

I lost nine stone taking part in The Biggest Loser—but what happened to my body when the cameras stopped rolling left me in tatters
Former contestants of one of America's most gruelling reality TV shows, The Biggest Loser, have let the cameras back in, revealing the horrors of losing weight for money—from hair loss to urinating blood— in a new three-part Netflix documentary. The show saw obese contestants—some of which were battling eating disorders—compete to lose the most weight for a $250,000 cash prize. But after it was canned in 2016, contestants now say the money will never be enough for what they went through—after being punished with relentless workout routines and tone-deaf food challenges, battling it out on less than 1,000 calories a day. Knowing that a heavily restricted diet was the only thing that was really going to make a difference, some contestants have admitted to eating just 800 calories a day, whilst burning 6,000 in the gym. But the producers—who together with the coaches suggested a calorie deficit of around 1,000 calories for men and 800 for women—turned a blind eye, desperate to produce good television and make money. Now, former winner Ryan Benson, 56, who lost an impressive 9 stone on the show, has opened up about the psychological trauma the programme's reckless methods caused—seeing him pile on the weight as soon as the cameras stopped rolling. 'I lost all focus on getting healthy,' he said. 'It became all about winning.' 'It hurt to do anything when you woke up in the morning', he added. 'I don't know what they expected, but there were times that I felt they wanted us to fail. We were definitely exploited,' he told People. In the new docuseries, fitness coach Bob Harper admits that they were relentless at times, but defends his teaching style in the name of good reality tv. 'What's more important for weight loss?' he asks. 'We all know it's diet, but that comes boring television. 'You know what's not boring television? To see us in a gym yelling and screaming. That's inspirational. That's good TV.' Mr Benson, who was crowned the first winner of the show back in 2004, said he believes contestants were 'set up to fail' and crack under the extreme methods used to speed up weight loss for entertainment value. 'Doctors tested our urine on the last day of our weigh in and they told me there was blood in mine because I was so dehydrated,' he recalled. Determined to win and keep the weight off, Mr Benson deprived himself of water for the last ten days of the show, drinking just enough lemon juice to stay hydrated and keep his metabolism ticking over—or so he thought. Within just five days of the show ending, he had already put back on 2st 2lbs just from drinking water. But the weight gain didn't stop there. Behind closed doors Mr Benson piled on the pounds until he weighed over 25 stone, 2lbs heavier than he was before the show—proving that obesity is not just a weight problem that can be cured with gruelling workouts and restricted diets. Shortly after the final episode, Mr Benson recalls his wife telling him nothing was worth what he was putting his body through. 'It was really tough for me. I was lucky I never got hurt or injured myself,' he added. Recalling the guilt he felt after putting the weight back on, he said: 'Anyone who struggles with weight in their life has issues they will carry with them . 'But facing it in this very public way and feeling what did there... it kind of magnified the issues I already had. 'You just feel guilty for going through this and not living up to what you did on the show, even 20 years later.' Now the father-of-three is is trying to get back to a healthy weight, this time with a support network in place and a realistic workout routine and diet focusing on both the mental and physical side of weight loss—not just the number on the scale. The new three-part Netflix documentary, called Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser, premiered on August 15th, features interviews with both the producers and former contestants documenting the impact of the series. The post-mortem docuseries comes at a time where the premise of the original show would now be near impossible to replicate, given the advent of weight loss jabs like Ozempic and Mounjaro. But in a similar vein, experts have warned that the results enjoyed by users of the jab are likely to be short-lived, if they do not maintain a healthy lifestyle after coming off the treatment. A recent study found that even those taking Mounjaro—the so-called King Kong of weight loss jabs—regained almost half the weight they had lost on the drug when they switched to a placebo. Whilst the study didn't explain exactly why people pile the weight back on so fast, the researchers speculated it could be due to a phenomenon known as 'weight cycling.' This refers to the process of regaining weight after stopping treatment, and can be due to a number of factors such as hormonal changes in the gut. Other experts have speculated the post-treatment weight gain could simply be because diets are hard, arguing that no self restraint is required when taking the drugs, so people don't have effective 'behavioural strategies in place' when they stop taking them.
