Demi Lovato ramps up Ozempic rumors as she flaunts her thin frame during wedding rehearsal
Demi Lovato has ramped up Ozempic rumors as she flaunted her thin frame in a plunging white gown during a practice wedding ceremony with her songwriter fiancé on Saturday.
The singer, 32, walked down the aisle with her beau Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes, 34, at what appeared to be a rehearsal for their upcoming nuptials.
For the event, the former Disney star donned a figure-hugging strapless white dress, which contained a thigh-high slit.
The stunning number left her long legs on full display and showcased her toned physique.
For months, speculation has swirled that the Confident songstress may be using a GLP-1 weight loss drug like Ozempic or Mounjaro as she has continuously displayed her slimmed-down figure.
Demi and Jutes - who have been engaged since 2023 - seemed to be participating in a practice run of the ceremony, which is typically held the day before the wedding.
The rehearsal is a couple's final chance to walk through the processional, check seating arrangements, and practice any special readings or instructions.
The lovebirds were joined by close friends and family as well as their three beloved dogs, an eyewitness told DailyMail.com.

Hollywood's go-to party planner, Mindy Weiss was seen directing the guests and giving out instructions ahead of the big day.
Afterward, the group enjoyed a cozy dinner at a small restaurant all together before calling it an early night.
After Demi posted some snaps of herself in a tiny black bikini earlier this month, accusations of her using the popular weight loss jabs ran rampant in the comment section.
'Honey just stop the Ozempic,' one person wrote.
'Demi I love you so much, but stop right now with the Ozempic you've been perfect for ages pls keep some curves,' another said.
'She has the Ozempic drop in her cheeks,' someone else observed.
'Ozempic Queen,' one person with a crown emoji, while another weighed in, 'Ozempic hitting hard.'
Demi has been open about her struggle with bulimia, and she said on Penn Badgley's Podcrushed podcast in October: 'I have a treatment team that I work with that helps me stay in recovery.'

The pop star added, 'I'm trying to learn body acceptance rather than body positivity, because body positivity feels like I can't even reach that yet.
'I have to work on body acceptance, body neutrality, because that feels like a goal I can reach.'
At the time, she shared that she had a treatment team including a nutritionist and a therapist who specializes in eating disorders.
'We come up with tools. We do sessions on body image and they provide me with a ton of insight,' Demi explained.
She emphasized, 'The main thing that I'm working on is just body acceptance, and just looking in the mirror and being like, "This body is strong." Very basic, elementary affirmations.
'But like, "This body saved my life and fought for my life when I overdosed." "This body is a miracle."
'That's what I have to focus on, because loving my body and having full acceptance over it... it feels too far away right now.'

The Möbius Book by Catherine Lacey review – beyond the bounds of fiction
From her debut, Nobody Is Ever Missing, to 2023's Biography of X, Catherine Lacey's work has tested the forms and fabric of the novel with brilliant unease. In The Möbius Book, her experiment crosses the blurred border of fiction into something else. Life writing, autofiction, memoir? Whatever you call it, The Möbius Book is deeply serious and engrossingly playful, and it lavishly rewards serious, playful attention. A Möbius strip is a length of any material joined into a loop with a half twist. It's an uncanny shape, common and obvious, easily created and yet awkward to describe geometrically. For literary purposes, a Möbius is interesting because there's intricate structure and constraint but no ending. It goes around again, mirrored with a twist. Lacey's book takes this literally, the text printed from both ends, with memoir and fiction joined in the middle. Twin stories experiment with plotlessness and irresolution, while remaining aware of the way fiction attaches itself to linear plot and reverts to romance and quest. Characters find and lose love, find and lose meaning. In one half, two women, Edie and Marie, reminisce about their messy love lives and Christian beliefs in Marie's grotty apartment, ignoring the pool of blood forming outside a neighbour's door. In the other half, the first-person narrator leaves a controlling partner, recalls an ascetic adolescence and struggles to write and think about faith with clever friends during lockdown. Lacey is fascinated by literary form and by the metaphors for literary form, finding fiction at once a constraint and a space for play. Late in the day, the narrator, 'with trusted friends who knew how, got tied up and whipped', as 'a rite in all this, the chaos of having more freedom than I knew what to do with'. It's impossible, in a book so preoccupied with crucifixion, martyrdom and self-denial, not to see the image of the twisted Möbius loop in this friendly bondage. The structures of novels and the iconography of Christian martyrdom are both narrative responses to suffering; both offer freedom through constraint. But for Lacey, suspicious of pleasure, the compatibility of faith and art is questionable. The two modes of the book, which I hesitate to call fiction and memoir because neither is wholly committed to realism or reality, undermine each other, with images and anecdotes reappearing in transmuted form. The shadow of the angry, manipulative ex-partner falls across both, challenging the narrator's memories and intentions although, reassuringly, never inviting the reader's distrust. Edie's recounting of a transformative encounter with a dying, talking dog which speaks of the meaning of suffering (is 'dog' a Möbius rendition of 'God'?) is reprised when the narrator attends to a man lying on the street. In the first-person section, the narrator sees Matisse's painting The Red Studio in New York's Museum of Modern Art, 'the red I imagine on the floor of an otherwise white room', reflecting the blood pooling under a neighbour's door that Edie and Marie in the novel section decide is probably 'paint or something'. As the narrator comments: 'Reality at large has never been my subject, but interiority always has been.' Lacey asks large questions about interiority, especially with regard to the subject of Christian faith. For some readers, it may be an alien idea that the sharply modern intellectual rigour on display here could be combined with religious conviction. How can a narrator who can play off Proust against Gillian Rose seriously expect to find consolation in the old myths about the baby in the manger and the man rising from death? It's a question Lacey acknowledges, partly as unanswerable: 'We want to speak of gnosis and mysticism without our phones listening to us and populating browser ad space with advertisements for Goddess Retreats and bogus supplements and acupuncture mats.' Even so, the narrator attempts an exorcism, employs an 'energy healer', is seduced by ideas about magic numbers. 'Symbolism is both hollow and solid, a crutch, yes, but what's so wrong with needing help to get around?' The question is not rhetorical. There's a deep ambivalence in this book about needing literary and philosophical 'help to get around', about whether we're allowed to want or need art, which is related to the narrator's lack of appetite and consequent emaciation. 'I was afraid of the line between basic needs and cravings, between living and lust.' The fear of slipping from necessity into pleasure shapes the distrust of fiction. What if storytelling is for fun? What if we don't really need it? What if only what's necessary is true, or only truth is necessary? Inevitably, the fictional half of this book refuses many of the satisfactions of a novel. Like a miniature homage to WG Sebald's Austerlitz, the present action is mostly the recounting of past events, so that most of the characters, times and places appear only through a conversation between friends. There are complicated, triangular relationships in the background, between characters who never quite take shape, whose voices are only – and unreliably – recalled. Third-person narrative always calls into being a narrator, another layer of artifice, and here the slippage between present, past and past historic tenses also constantly reminds us that this story is at once engaging and not real. The questions are constant, implicit, teasing, elaborated rather than answered in the dark mirror of life writing. They don't go away. You can go round again.

Just days after sharing her daughter Eloise's first birthday with her social media followers, Sofia Richie was spotted out on a rare outing. The 26-year-old socialite was spotted in Brentwood on Sunday with her daughter and husband Elliot Grainge. Her husband Elliot - who she tied the knot with back in 2023 - was also spotted giving her daughter a kiss during the outing. Richie was spotted wearing a v-neck white t-shirt with her blonde hair tied back in a ponytail. She also donned black oversized sunglasses while carrying a beverage during the family outing. The sister of Nicole Richie completed her look with light blue jeans that were folded at the cuffs and brown sandals. Her husband Elliot - who she tied the knot with back in 2023 - was also spotted giving her daughter a kiss during the outing Her husband Grainge was seen wearing a brown shirt under a light white coat with white pants and brown loafers. The socialite recently celebrated her first Mother's Day, sharing a rare snap of her lifting Eloise in the air with her 11 million Instagram followers. She captioned the post — in which she wore jeans, a pale yellow shirt, and periwinkle ballet flats — 'My mini.' It has so far collected over 336,000 likes, including one from fellow new mom Hailey Bieber. Last month, Sofia threw a backyard party complete with little pink toddler-sized tents, a bounce house, a tiered cake and even an adult dressed as a baby. But when she posted updates from the festivities to Instagram, the standout image was a heart-melting snap of her and Elliot doting over Eloise on a pile of cushions. In her caption, Sofia wrote a touching message in which she reflected on the 'mix of emotion' she felt watching her daughter complete her first year in the world. 'A year ago today my little girl was born. I didn't realize her first birthday was going to be such a mix of emotion for me,' Sofia wrote. 'On one hand it's the most amazing beautiful milestone. On the other hand I look back and realize those tiny little moments are something I'll never get back.' 'On one hand it's the most amazing beautiful milestone.

In spite of the bittersweet nature of the occasion, Sofia gushed: 'Watching her grow has been a gift. My greatest achievement will ALWAYS be her.' She added: 'She has given me purpose, and I am nothing without her. Elliot and I couldn't love anything in this life more. I don't know what I did to deserve my little buggie, but all I know is my heaven is right here on earth with her so beyond blessed'. Sofia and Elliot tied the knot in the South Of France in April 2023, in a glittering ceremony at the glamorous Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes. They began dating in 2021, but had apparently been acquainted with each other for several years before striking up their romantic relationship.
