The One Day at a Time star, who won hearts at teen Barbara Cooper in the 1970s, said the fear was 'just my process.... I've been doing this for over 50 years, (it's like riding a bike, right?) but I just love this script so much and I wanna do it justice. There's always that thought that I'm gonna be the one that f*cks up the whole project, right?'
She told her fans she would 'feel the fear and do it anyway' by transferring 'the fear and anxiety into joy and excitement. They're the same sort of feelings just on a different spectrum.'

DEMI LOVATO looked incredible in a white mini dress as she filmed her new music video Fast. The pop star, 32, channelled TV personality Kim Kardashian, with her long brunette tresses cascading down to her shoulders. 7 7 7 Demi shared behind-the-scene snaps from her upcoming music video, which showed her posing next to a red car at night. The hitmaker was seen smouldering at the camera for a number of glamorous shots. She completed her look with a face of flawless makeup. The singer then shared a snap of her getting her tresses retouched by her hairdresser as she took a break from filming. The long sleeve mini dress showed off Demi's incredible legs and resembled a frock KUWTK star Kim, 44, once wore in 2017. Kim often puts her famous curves on display and stepped out in an off-the-shoulder dress for the The Launch Of KKW Beauty. Snippets from Demi's new video bared a striking resemblance to the US reality star. Demi captioned it: "Me when i serve my favorite dish… FAST OUT FRIDAY." The Let It Go singer has been a busy woman after having t ied the knot with fiance fiance Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes in May. Demi said "I do" in California in a fairytale ceremony surrounded by their friends and family. Demi Moore hugs celebs pals on red carpet at Oscar nominees event Demi looked sensational in a pearl white Vivienne Westwood dress made with silk satin fabric and featuring a corset bodice. For the reception, Demi changed into an ivory silk satin dress with a draped corset top, also by Vivienne Westwood. The dress featured a number of pearls cascading from the neckline. The night before the wedding, Demi was seen in a white dress as they hosted a rehearsal dinner. The songstress wowed onlookers as they floated down the aisle before becoming a wife, in snaps obtained by The Mail. At the walk through, the couple's loved ones were in attendance, as well as their three sweet dogs. Then, after the rehearsal, the group that were in attendance were all said to have headed out for an intimate dinner. Heading to a small restaurant, the love birds called it an early night ahead of their big day when they will say "I do" for real as they officially become a married couple. 'BEST THREE YEARS OF MY LIFE' "Jordan, I cannot WAIT to marry you!!" Demi gushed in February, hinting at an imminent ceremony. "The past 3 years have been the best 3 years of my life and I have you to thank for that. I'm obsessed with your heart, your love and your light. "I can't wait to grow old with you and start a family together. Happy Valentine's Day to the love of my life. I love you honey!!!" Jutes, 34, proposed to Demi, who goes by she/they pronouns, in December 2023 with a massive pear-shaped diamond. "I'm still speechless! Last night was the best night of my life and I can't believe I get to marry the love of my life," Demi wrote at the time, showing off her stunning sparkler. "My love, I'm beyond excited to marry you. Every day I've spent with you has been a dream come true and I can't wait to love and cherish you forever. Here's to the rest of our lives. I love you baby!" TMZ first reported the couple planned to wed over Memorial Day weekend. PAST STRUGGLES The singer has been down a rocky road on her way to happily-ever-after. She called off her wedding to fiance Max Ehrich in 2020 after a nasty split. And after a long struggle with sobriety, she overdosed on opiates in 2018, suffering three strokes and a heart attack. "My doctors said that I had five to 10 more minutes [to live]," she admitted in a 2020 documentary, claiming she still suffers side effects from the scary health crisis. 'I don't drive a car because I have blind spots in my vision. "For a long time, I had a really hard time reading. Reading was a big deal when I was able to read out of a book, which was two months later because my vision was so blurry. 'I dealt with a lot of the repercussions and I think they are kind of still there to remind me of what could happen if I ever get into a dark place again. 'I'm grateful for those reminders but I'm so grateful that I'm someone who didn't have to do a lot of rehabbing." Most recently, fans were concerned after she appeared to be shaky in a cooking video, after admitting she was really nervous. "I'm okay! I promise," she assured fans. Demi has said she is now completely sober and happy. 7 7 7

Princess Margaret's pal hits out at 'ridiculous' claim she had foetal alcohol syndrome
A former close friend of the late Princess Margaret has spoken out against the bombshell claims that Queen Elizabeth's sister was born with the "invisible disability", allegedly caused by the "heavy drinking" of the Queen Mother A former close friend of Princess Margaret has spoken out against the 'bizarre and ridiculous' claims in a new book that the late royal was born with foetal alcohol syndrome. According to Pulitzer prize winning biographer Meryle Secrest, Queen Elizabeth 's younger sister was born with the 'invisible disability', which the author alleged was caused by the years of 'heavy drinking' by the Queen Mother. The biography, titled Princess Margaret and the Curse: An Inquiry into a Royal Life, speculated that Margaret exhibited classic symptoms of the condition throughout her life, including mood swings, stunted growth, difficulties learning how to write, and painful migraines. Despite the claims, which have never been proven, a former friend of Margaret has spoken out in defence of her late friend, saying not all of Margaret's disadvantages can be attributed to choices made by the Queen Mother when she was pregnant. 'It is truly bizarre to suggest that everything that happened to the Princess can be put down to how much the Queen Mother drank while pregnant. And not just bizarre but ridiculous,' Margaret's friend told the Daily Mail. 'Her life was not one long tragedy: she was an intelligent woman with a wide circle of interests and friends and was a mother and grandmother.' The friend's sentiments were echoed online, as many were similarly outraged by the book's claims. Biographer and journalist Christopher Wilson wrote on X: 'Crazy theory containing not a shred of proof turned into a book,' while a royal fan added: 'Disgraceful. Princess Margaret was beautiful and elegant. Witty, fun and feisty. Her face showed no signs of FASD.' The Telegraph, which has discussed the book's claims, also said: "There is no firm evidence that Margaret suffered from an alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder, and the new biography has been written by comparing Margaret's life, as attested in pre-existing written sources, with those who have suffered from the condition." The book, which is expected to be released in September, cited that the Queen Mother's Scottish family, the aristocratic Bowes-Lyon clan, were 'hard drinkers' with an ability to 'hold their liquor'. The author went on to clarify that when the Queen Mother was pregnant with Margaret in the 1930s, there was no official medical advice for expectant mothers to stop consuming alcohol. Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a condition that develops in a foetus when a pregnant woman drinks alcohol during pregnancy, according to the Cleveland Clinic. A syndrome is a group of symptoms that happen together as the result of a particular disease or abnormal condition. When someone has foetal alcohol syndrome, they're at the most severe end of what are known as foetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs). The condition is life-long and can't be cured. It can be prevented if expectant mothers don't drink any alcohol during pregnancy, as even small amounts can damage the developing foetus. As claims about Margaret's came to light, the National Organisation for FASD issued a statement, saying while they are glad new light has been shone on the disorder: 'We as an organisation do not speculate on who may or may not have FASD," adding: "We are concerned that any reporting about this book must sensitively reflect real lived experience and the latest science."

'I've always loved how strong training upper body makes me feel and I always will,' Tammy wrote in her caption. Fans flooded the post with praise for the fitness influencer's ripped figure, with one person saying she's in her 'best shape' yet. It comes after Tammy recently revealed she 'didn't recognise herself' during her marriage to Love Island star Matt, 29. The influencer revealed that she has toned up her body and lost weight since leaving the marriage. She shared a video on Instagram highlighting her appearance during and after her time with Matt, showing she has trimmed down and gained muscle in recent weeks. 'Guys I'm starting to feel like myself again. I don't even recognise myself in those first videos, to be honest,' Tammy wrote in her caption. 'You won't always feel motivated, but you will never regret starting and investing in YOU,' she added, while also promoting her fitness app. Tammy and Matt tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony at Chateau Du Soleil in Byron Bay on November 23.
