Christopher Schwarzenegger Lost 30 Pounds by Giving Up Bread
Christopher Schwarzenegger has finally spoken out about his dramatic weight loss.
The 27-year-old son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver appeared at the Inaugural Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles (via People) on May 10, where he spoke with Kelly Osbourne and event host Jeff Beacher about finally shedding his excess weight after nearly a decade of effort.
"It was a big process," Schwarzenegger admitted. "I started in 2019 when I was living in Australia. I was on this big trip. I made it a big [deal] like, 'Oh, I'm going to go out and do all this stuff, be in Australia,' and I just saw how much my weight was prohibiting me from doing the everyday activities. I was like, 'I want to go skydiving.' And my friends were like, 'Yeah, no shot.' I was like, 'Yeah, I can't skydive.''Schwarzenegger's battle to shed weight began during his teen years, but it took several attempts to find a successful diet. "I tried everything. I was doing meal delivery things in high school, and I remember feeling like a weirdo when I was bringing weird lunches to school," he recalled.
But even though he's slimmer than ever before, Schwarzenegger still feels his body is a work in progress. "It's not an overnight thing, but it took a lot of trial and error,' he explained. 'And even still to this day…when you're saying, oh, before and after photos…I don't feel like I'm an after yet. I don't feel like I'm at the point."Luckily, he's found a bit of a shortcut to his fitness goals. Schwarzenegger said that he gave up eating one food item this year, which resulted in him shedding a whopping 30 pounds in under two months. "Weirdly enough, I gave up bread for Lent,' he admitted. 'I was like, 'Well, if I'm giving up bread, I might as well just take the opportunity and I'm a good Catholic boy, so I'm not going to break it.' And that was my one rule. I was like, 'I'm not going to break Lent.' And so I lost 30 pounds just through that."

Source: Katy Perry's Album Reception Has Caused "Tension" and "Stress" in Orlando Bloom Relationship
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom have reportedly been going through a rough patch in their relationship. A source tells People that the couple experienced some tension due to Katy's stress over the reception of her new album, 143. "Katy was deeply frustrated following the reception of her new album," the insider explained. "It made her very stressed. Orlando was understanding, but it did cause some tension." Another source added that "She was also disappointed in some of the tour reviews. It's put stress on their relationship." Neither source noted what's happening in their relationship at the moment, or if things have improved. But these two have been together forever—and gotten through rough patches before! In fact, they briefly broke up in 2017 (per their reps, they were "taking respectful loving space"), a split that Katy opened up about last year. "I mean, he was in a way, because he had just done a huge time of celibacy, and he had set intentions," she said. "I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was just like, 'I can't do this anymore. I need to go swim in a different pond,' but I had yet to do a lot of real work." Ultimately, Katy and Orly both worked on themselves and got back together thanks to the singer initiating a reunion. "We all have our strengths and then our opportunities for growth," she said. "But one of his strengths [is] when I crumble, he can step in and be that anchor. That's amazing, because I'm usually just alpha, alpha, you know? I'm like testosterone, testosterone. 'I got this. I don't need any help,' but actually I do need help. I do need a partner."

It doesn't mean you're a bad parent,' she told PEOPLE in April 2019. 'We all are constantly struggling daily, but that's also the beautiful side of parenthood.' The mom of three isn't fully ready for her kids to become teenagers. During a Friday, Feb. 14 interview with Entertainment Tonight alongside her husband, she was asked how she's feeling about her oldest son becoming a teenager this year. As soon as the question was read, Vanessa began to get emotional. 'That one's going to get me,' Vanessa said, tearing up. 'It's going to get me because you know that this has been happening in the last couple months.' 'They're growing! I can't answer this question, I have on fake eyelashes,' she continued.

'It's actually really… it's such a beautiful question because I love — I know you do too — we love our children and we love watching them grow," Vanessa explained. "But maybe it's because NCIS:Hawai'i was cancelled and I was so sad. We were so sad we left Hawaii. That was our dream. And the silver lining to that is it's been able to give us so much time with our kids.' Although she noted that her older son still acts like a kid for now, Vanessa added there's so much she's excited to experience with her kids once they get a little older. 'Camden is just…he's 12 but he's still like a 12-year-old boy. He watches Bluey with his brother and sister and they're just still kids," the star said. "And I'm like really holding onto it because at some point it does change ... but I'm excited about girlfriends and boyfriends and driving and whatever.' Read the original article on People

Deborra-Lee Furness files to divorce Hugh Jackman 2 years after split
Hugh Jackman's estranged wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, filed for divorce in New York, nearly two years after the pair announced they were ending their 27-year marriage. Furness, 69, filed for divorce on Friday in Suffolk County Supreme Court, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The outlet reports the divorce will be finalized once the judge signs off on the complaint and other documents Furness submitted — filings regarding continuing health care coverage, a medical child support order, the New York State child support registry form, the exes' settlement deal, a proposed judgement of divorce and official certificate of dissolution. The 'Deadpool & Wolverine' star and award-winning 'Shame' actress met in 1995, working on the Australian miniseries 'Correlli,' and married the following year. They later adopted son Oscar and daughter Ava, now 25 and 19 respectively. In September 2023, the couple announced their separation in a joint statement to People. 'We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,' the actors said at the time. 'Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth. … We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love and kindness.' Jackman sparked romance rumors with his 'Music Man' co-star Sutton Foster as far back as 2022, though the Broadway stars only confirmed their relationship earlier this year. Furness' filing comes seven months after 50-year-old Foster filed to divorce screenwriter Ted Griffin in October, after a decade of marriage. The exes share daughter Emily, whom they also welcomed via adoption. Prior to Griffin, Foster was married to fellow Broadway veteran Christian Borle, who, like Jackman and the 'Thoroughly Modern Millie' actress, has won two Tony Awards. ___ © 2025 New York Daily News.
