Cheryl Burke addresses sudden weight loss after divorce
Cheryl Burke feels "better than ever" after losing weight. The 41-year-old dancer - who was married to 'Boy Meets World' star Matthew Lawrence from 2019 until 2022 - recently shed 35lbs and insisted that the health kick came at a time when she was adjusting to various life changes, including going through a divorce and leaving her long-running role as a professional on 'Dancing with the Stars'. She told US TV show 'Extra': "I feel amazing. I feel better than ever. "I think my transformation has been more from within and doing a lot of work and healing and moving through huge life changes from leaving the show, divorcing, moving all in one year. I mean, no pun intended, but it has really taken a lot of weight off of me." The podcast host reflected on her own journey with her bdy image, and noted that her weight has "always been an issue" to her because she had to focus on her figure so much for her career. She said: "Being in front of the mirrors constantly, as far as weight or my personal story goes, it has always been an issue, whether that be from my dance coaches or just me in general, right? So it's nice to not have to think about it." Cheryl recently revealed that during the height of her 'Dancing with the Stars' success, she travelled with a set of scales because she had become so obsessed with exactly how much she weighed. She said: ", yeah, so I still think I have body dysmorphia. I mean, I'm currently, obviously, working through it all, but I was obsessive, you know? And I'm an addict and almost sober for seven years, but my brain is definitely, I get easily obsessed and addicted to whatever it is that I want to accomplish

Cheryl Burke begs fans to stop focusing on her appearance as she addresses body image struggles
Cheryl Burke wants people to stop focusing on her body. The 41-year-old dancer - who is best known for having been a professional on 'Dancing with the Stars' - has "done so much work" on her mental health in recent years but feels "gaslit" when met with comments about her physical appearance even though she is aware that she "signed up" for that sort of thing by becoming famous. She told 'Entertainment Tonight': "Let's talk about mental health, let's talk about what I've done as far as the last few years when I haven't been in the spotlight but I've done so much work on myself from the inside out. And I'm proud of that work. I wish the conversation was more geared towards that rather than 'She's on Ozempic, she got a whole face lift and everything about her has changed', gaslighting. "If I were to say that it doesn't affect me, I would be lying but does it affect me as bad as it did when I was on the show? Not even close! It's interesting. I know I've signed up for it, I understand I've signed up for it, and I'm a public figure. I'm not trying to stop anything from happening but I'm just here hopefully to influence anyone who is in a similar position that there is more depth to a human being other than their outside physical appearance." Cheryl - who was married to 'Boy Meets World' star Matthew Lawrence from 2019 until 2022 - has suffered from body dysmoprhia for most of her life, and admitted that it reached its peak when she had to undergo regular fittings during her time on the ABC dance competition and she became obsessed with her weight. She said: "I do suffer from body dysmorphia, especially as a dancer in front of mirrors. Constantly. Since I was a little girl, and this was even before my 'Dancing with the Stars' career. My weight has always been an issue but I think what people sometimes don't understand is it is a lot of work, it takes a lot of work and self-care. The height of my insecurity and my body dysphoria was weekly fittings on the show. I don't blame the show by any means; it's just the name of the game, squeezing into these costumes. It is what it is. But it would affect me to the point where I would travel with a scale. That's crazy on a whole other level and I knew this could no longer continue. The number would affect my every day, and would dictate how I feel."

"Who Does That?!": 17 Totally Untrue "Lies" Movies And TV Shows "Tricked" Us Into Believing
Recently on Reddit, @Individual-Crazy3752 asked, "What's something you keep seeing in movies that no one actually does in real life and annoys you every time?" The responses were hilarious and so true, so here are just 17 that really stood out: 1."In older movies, when they light a cigarette, they toss it after one drag. Often they light another brand new one pretty quickly after that, too." —Cinderjacket 2."Order a drink and leave the bar without ever taking a sip." —PDiddysDad "Or a meal and never take a bite." —OPMom21 "A breakfast buffet that would be $45 a ticket... They eat a single bite of dry white toast and run out the door to work." —JadeGrapes 3."When a group of people is in danger, they split instead of staying together." —CiclistaMantovani "My partner and I love this so much. It has become a saying for us, 'This looks dangerous. Let's split up.'" —-runs-with-scissors- "Let's hide behind this wall of machetes and chainsaws." —ComprehensiveCake463 "Why don't we just get in the running car?!" —raven_of_azarath "Are you crazy?! Head to the cemetery!" —uisce_beatha1 4."When they turn on the TV, and the exact news they need to see is on right then." —incognitonomad858 "Arrested Development had a bit where a character turns on the TV to show the specific news they want to share, but then everyone has to sit around waiting for that part to actually air." —mandabananaba "They did it in Community, too. A character is telling a scary story. And when the characters in the story need to get the relevant information via radio, he hums a song for a minute. When they interrupt, he calls it out, 'You wouldn't turn the radio on right at the perfect time that relevant information is being spoken.'" —EmseMCE 5."A character who lives in a house or apartment way beyond their means. For example, a restaurant server living alone in a large apartment with a view in a major city. Come on!" —OPMom21 6."When people have a breakdown and slide down the door while crying. Who does that?!" —Individual-Crazy3752 "Me when I'm feeling dramatic and wanna pretend I'm in an Oscar-winning movie." —ohboyitskilljoy 7."When characters wake up with perfect hair and full makeup like they slept through a Sephora session." —AllenMaddox 8."Cook up a whole fry up for breakfast on a school and work morning, and everyone just eats a few bites and they all leave everything sitting on the table for the entire day." —Mother_Search3350 "In Boy Meets World, there's an episode about the mom doing this every morning, and she feels unappreciated. At the end, Cory stays and eats the whole breakfast to show his appreciation for her." —CrochetedKingdoms 9."Wave around coffee cups, tilt them, gesture with them, carry a tray of three large coffee drinks in one hand, etc. etc." —StrangestSwan "Yes. I always notice this. Especially the four-cup carrier just breezily floating in one hand." —Every-Cook5084 10."When they get home after a day of fighting aliens or whatever and let their hair down by removing a single pin and it comes right out straight and smooth." —TrenchardsRedemption 11."The ease at which computer hackers gain access to systems in 30 seconds or less, with five lines of simple code." —bevymartbc 12."The flawless dialogue that never uses filler words like 'umm' or 'uhh'...unless they're high." —Hammertime1290 13."Not properly saying goodbye when talking on the phone. 'I'm gonna meet you there at 9 p.m.' Hangs up. No bye? No talk later? Where are the manners?" —Individual-Crazy3752 "Why is this skipped? I can't think of a single reason why no one says goodbye. If someone hung up on me without saying goodbye, I'd think they were mad at me." —CrochetedKingdoms 14."I hate when movie characters are eating at a restaurant, just opening their wallet, pulling out a bunch of bills, then tossing them onto the table, and leaving without even asking for the bill." —ClownfishSoup 15."Stepping to the other side of the room to have a 'private' conversation. The people they stepped away from are RIGHT THERE just a few feet away." —ReadySetGO0 16."A character drives into a city centre and is able to park directly outside the building they wish to enter." —quilp666 "Escape from quicksand. Growing up in the 1970s and 1980s, I was SURE I would face some kind of quicksand peril in my adult life at some point. Zero encounters with quicksand, and I am 54 years old." —Helmett-13 Is there a trope you're constantly seeing in TV shows or movies that doesn't ring true to real life?

Mrs. Doubtfire star Matthew Lawrence has late Robin Williams to thank for movie role
Matthew Lawrence bagged his 'Mrs. Doubtfire' role because of Robin Williams. The actor was 12 when he played Chris Hillard, one of three children in Christopher Columbus' 1993 comedy-drama that sees Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) disguise himself as an elderly female housekeeper to spend time with his children, Lydia Hillard (Lisa Jakub), Chris and Natalie Hillard (Mara Wilson), following a divorce from his wife, Miranda Hillard (Sally Field). And Robin, who took his own life in 2014 at the age of 63, loved Matthew's audition for the hit 20th Century Fox flick so much, he encouraged Matthew to push himself to the limit and "really play [Chris] up" to secure the role. The 45-year-old star explained to "He got me the role in 'Mrs. Doubtfire'. Got me that role. There was another kid who was definitely in the lead. "Everybody liked, and he, in the audition process, he came up privately and said, 'We gotta push this over the edge for you. We gotta. So when I do something, I'm gonna do something, I can tell you, gotta go along with it. Really play it up. No one's got it yet.' And sure enough, we nailed that moment, and he got me the role. So, you know, he was that guy, man." Matthew went on to carve himself a successful career in Hollywood following the release of 'Mrs. Doubtfire', appearing in the coming-of-age sitcom, 'Boy Meets World', and the comedy-romance film, 'The Hot Chick'. And Robin's advice to Matthew about never judging someone until they have walked in their shoes has stuck with him ever since. He admitted: "You know, don't judge someone until you've walked in their shoes. You know, it's really true. "He was one of the most compassionate people, humble people, talented people I've ever met. And you know, he also gave me some, it's really wild to think about it. I was 12 years old, and the way he took me under his wings, and the way he opened up to me, and the way he treated me as a peer, like he didn't talk down to me. "It's just miraculous." Throughout Robin's life, he suffered from relationship struggles, financial problems, drug addiction and depression, and the 'Jumanji' star was very open about his "troubles" with Matthew, so he could be "dead-set" on ensuring Matthew "steered clear of it" all. Matthew added: "He also opened up to me about what it was like for him when he wasn't entertaining people. And what his personal life, you know, the troubles that he was having. "It wasn't all laughs, and you know, he really guided me. He had a strong belief that there were things that he did in his life. It exacerbated his condition that he had, and he was dead-set on making sure that I steered cleared of it. And he was successful with that."
