'And this is the biggest public service announcement to the whole wide world to never, ever, ever do it. I have been dying this week. Like, dying. Like, crawling on the floor.'

Doc gives advice on how to tackle Mounjaro side effect of excess loose skin Mounjaro is a diabetes drug that's recently gained popularity in Hollywood and on TikTok as an off-label weight loss injection.

Advertisement Tana's extreme reaction, including severe nausea, exhaustion, disrupted digestion and prolonged sleep, is likely due to how the drug slows down digestion and suppresses appetite. Some users also report symptoms like dehydration, cramping and dizziness as the body adjusts. While many have hailed Mounjaro as a 'miracle' fat-loss fix, experts have warned it's not for everyone, especially if taken without medical supervision.

Kelly, from the UK, took to social media to share how her journey on the weight loss jab was going.

Advertisement Others have warned of severe hair loss. Everything you need to know about fat jabs Weight loss jabs are all the rage as studies and patient stories reveal they help people shed flab at almost unbelievable rates, as well as appearing to reduce the risk of serious diseases. Wegovy – a modified version of type 2 diabetes drug Ozempic – and Mounjaro are the leading weight loss injections used in the UK. Wegovy, real name semaglutide, has been used on the NHS for years while Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer and more powerful addition to the market. Mounjaro accounts for most private prescriptions for weight loss and is set to join Wegovy as an NHS staple this year. How do they work? The jabs work by suppressing your appetite, making you eat less so your body burns fat for energy instead and you lose weight. They do this my mimicking a hormone called GLP-1, which signals to the brain when the stomach is full, so the drugs are officially called GLP-1 receptor agonists. They slow down digestion and increase insulin production, lowering blood sugar, which is why they were first developed to treat type 2 diabetes in which patients' sugar levels are too high. Can I get them? NHS prescriptions of weight loss drugs, mainly Wegovy and an older version called Saxenda (chemical name liraglutide), are controlled through specialist weight loss clinics. Typically a patient will have to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, classifying them as medically obese, and also have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure. GPs generally do not prescribe the drugs for weight loss. Private prescribers offer the jabs, most commonly Mounjaro, to anyone who is obese (BMI of 30+) or overweight (BMI 25-30) with a weight-related health risk. Private pharmacies have been rapped for handing them out too easily and video calls or face-to-face appointments are now mandatory to check a patient is being truthful about their size and health. Are there any risks? Yes – side effects are common but most are relatively mild. Around half of people taking the drug experience gut issues, including sickness, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhoea. Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at said: 'One of the more uncommon side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.' Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, gallbladder problems and hypoglycemia. Evidence has so far been inconclusive about whether the injections are damaging to patients' mental health. Figures obtained by The Sun show that, up to January 2025, 85 patient deaths in the UK were suspected to be linked to the medicines. 5 The star opened up about the dark side of 'quick fixes' Credit: GC Images 5 Tana has over 5million followers on her instagram

How to get Mötley Crüe tickets: Las Vegas residency prices and dates
If you were worried you missed your chance to see Mötley Crüe live, fear not: the iconic heavy metal band will be performing in Las Vegas at Dolby Live this fall for a one-month residency. Starting September 12, the band is scheduled to play 10 concerts, with the residency coming to a close with the final show on October 3. I've broken down how to get Mötley Crüe tickets below. Mötley Crüe was formed in Hollywood in 1981 by bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, with guitarist Mick Mars and lead vocalist Vince Neil joining shortly after. The band has seen several changes to its members over the years, and the current lineup includes bassist Nikki Sixx as the band's only constant member, Tommy Lee and Vince Neil returning for their respective roles, and John 5 on guitar. The band originally parted ways in 2015, with their final farewell show taking place on December 31 that year. The gang then got back together in 2022 for a reunion tour co-headlining with Def Leppard and have continued to work on music since. They most recently released the EP 'Cancelled' on October 4, 2024, but they have not shared any plans for any new albums. If you're looking for how to get tickets for Mötley Crüe's 2025 Las Vegas residency, then we've got you covered. Here's our breakdown of the 2025 concert schedule, purchasing details, and price comparisons between resale and original tickets. You can also browse concert and ticket specifics at your convenience on StubHub and Vivid Seats. M ö tley Crüe's 2025 tour schedule Las Vegas fall residency starts September 12 and is scheduled to end with the final show on October 3, with a total of 10 shows during that time. Date City StubHub prices Vivid Seats prices September 12, 2025 Las Vegas, NV $115 $114 September 13, 2025 Las Vegas, NV $125 $129 September 17, 2025 Las Vegas, NV $121 $121 September 19, 2025 Las Vegas, NV $106 $102 September 20, 2025 Las Vegas, NV $105 $104 September 24, 2025 Las Vegas, NV $116 $121 September 26, 2025 Las Vegas, NV $111 $110 September 27, 2025 Las Vegas, NV $120 $100 October 1, 2025 Las Vegas, NV $102 $121 October 3, 2025 Las Vegas, NV $117 $114 How to buy tickets for M ö tley Crüe's 2025 concert tour You can buy standard original tickets for Mötley Crüe's fall residency on Ticketmaster. Tickets to see the band live in Las Vegas can also be purchased through verified resale ticket vendors like StubHub and Vivid Seats. For concert dates with a more limited inventory of original tickets, you may find better luck with seating variety and availability on these sites. The band is also offering two VIP ticket packages: the Mötley Crüe Vegas Merchandise and the Mötley Crüe Sin City VIP Package. These packages include various features such as priority access to the venue, meet-and-greets, access to a pre-show party room, and more. More information on what the VIP packages include can be found on the Ticketmaster VIP page. How much are tickets? Ticket prices for Mötley Crüe's 2025 fall residency vary depending on the date and demand for each show. On Ticketmaster, the least expensive standard original tickets range from $80 to $96. Resale ticket prices for the band's coming shows are generally comparable. The lowest-cost tickets on StubHub range from $102 for the show on October 1 to $125 for the September 13 concert. Vivid Seats offers similar pricing, with the least expensive tickets falling between $100 for September 27 and $129 for September 13. The VIP packages can be purchased from StubHub. The Mötley Crüe Vegas Merchandise VIP package starts at $545, and the Mötley Crüe Sin City VIP Package starts at $1,975. Who is opening for M ö tley Crüe's tour? As of this writing, no openers have been announced for Mötley Crüe's residency. We don't expect that to change, as historically, artists typically haven't had openers during Las Vegas residencies. Will there be international tour dates? Currently, Mötley Crüe has only scheduled dates for their Las Vegas fall residency; no international tour dates have been announced for 2025.

Jewish comedian barred from Fringe venue for attending Oct 7 vigil
A Jewish comedian has been cancelled by an Edinburgh Fringe venue after attending a vigil for victims of the October 7 attacks. Philip Simon was barred from the Banshee Labyrinth pub because of alleged 'rhetoric and symbology' linked to Israel. One reason cited by the venue for cancelling his show, Shall I Compere Thee in a Funny Way?, was his attendance at a vigil held for people killed in the 2023 Hamas terror attacks. In a message to Simon, Banshee Labyrith said: 'Our management had a duty of care to our customers and staff members to review the political statements and opinions expressed by the performer. 'We feel it is inappropriate for us to provide a platform for performers whose views and actions align with the rhetoric and symbology of groups associated with humanitarian violations.' Simon said the only opinion he had expressed on the Gaza conflict was a desire for peace and to see the hostages freed. He said: 'I am still processing the concept that in 2025 I can be cancelled just for being Jewish. In the meantime, I will still be at the Fringe for my one remaining children's show and continue to investigate possible alternative venues for both of my cancelled shows.' Banshee Labyrinth told The Telegraph that it arrived at its decision after scouring Simon's social media pages. It said: 'We routinely screen bands and performers for affiliations to, and statements that advocate for, discriminatory groups. 'We have hosted Philip in previous years and only thought we should have a look at his pages to see what was going on because of what happened with [a related row at] the neighbouring venue. 'If we hadn't found anything of concern he would obviously still be performing with us.' The alleged concerns identified by Banshee Labyrinth include Simon sharing pictures from a vigil commemorating 100 days since the attack on Israel; a message on his X account saying that it was powerful to 'stand strong against terror'; and a post warning that Oct 7 rape victims were being forgotten. Several others messages the venue objected to were variations on calls to 'bring home the hostages', while others made fun of Greta Thunberg's short-lived effort to travel by flotilla to Gaza. Banshee Labyrinth said its decision to cancel the show came after a row involving a nearby venue, Whistlebinkies, which has cancelled shows by Mr Simon and fellow comedian Rachel Creeger. Ms Creeger was set to perform her show Ultimate Jewish Mother, while Mr Simon was due to host a Jew-O-Rama of Jewish comedic talents. The acts claimed they were informed that their gigs would be cancelled after bar staff at the venue expressed fears of feeling 'unsafe'. It has been claimed that concerns were raised after an announcement that the venue would receive extra police supervision amid continued worries over the safety of Jewish acts. 'We are being silently boycotted' Ms Creeger said: 'Sadly, this is part of an ongoing problem faced by Jewish performers in this country. We are being cancelled and often silently boycotted.' The pair said they were informed on July 18 that their shows would not be going ahead. It is understood there had been plans to swap venues so they could still perform but it was too late to make these arrangements. Their shows no longer appear on the Edinburgh Fringe listings website. The Fringe, and comedy more broadly, has become embroiled in several controversies relating to the Israel-Hamas conflict. At the Fringe in 2024, two Israeli audience members were booed out of Reginald D Hunter's comedy gig after they objected to a joke comparing the Jewish state to an abusive spouse. Mr Hunter then had several gigs cancelled and later appeared in court over alleged anti-Semitic social media posts. There will be a hearing in November to decide whether the private prosecution brought against him will go ahead. Earlier in 2024, the comedian Paul Currie was banned from a West End theatre after the venue said he had been 'subjecting Jewish audience members to verbal abuse'. Soho Theatre consulted police following an incident in which he allegedly pulled out a Palestinian flag and shouted at an Israeli audience member to 'get the f--- out of here' before leading chants of 'Palestine will be free'. The theatre investigated and then banned Mr Currie for what it termed 'appalling' intimidation.
