Lizzo shows off her 'back fat' and goes braless in a figure-hugging metallic gown as she poses up a storm in Paris
Lizzo showed off her 'back fat' as she slipped her curves into a figure-hugging metallic gown in a sizzling new snap amid her getaway to Paris. The singer, 37, looked incredible while modelling the shimmering champagne number as she struck a pose on a rooftop during her trip to the French capital on Wednesday. While the Truth Hurts hitmaker looked great from the back, further snaps on her Instagram showed Lizzo wowing from the front too, as she went braless in the golden ensemble. Lizzo oozed confidence as she tipped her head back and ran her hand through her hair in the jaw-dropping images which showed the Eiffel Tower in the background. The star, who recently wowed fans with her weight loss, looked happy and at ease in the images, which she captioned: 'Issa back fat summer.' Lizzo has clearly been enjoying her time in summer, having snapped further photos in the same location just days before. This time, the About Damn Time singer donned a skimpy cream ruffled crop top and matching shorts while posing in front of the Eiffel Tower. It comes after Lizzo discussed her 'complicated relationship' with food and revealed how she shed the pounds in a new video earlier this month. The US songstress, who has undergone a weight loss transformation, shared her journey and gave an insight into her new diet. Speaking to Women's Health as part of their Fuel Like series, Lizzo explained: 'My relationship with eating has evolved so much. 'We've had highs and we've had lows. Like it's a very complicated relationship. Um there have been times where I have undernourished myself. 'There have been times where I was binging. I feel like right now in my life when I intuitively eat and listen to my body, that always works out for me.' Lizzo admitted she went through a phase of feeling 'very low energy' which led her to 'eating animal protein' again. She continued: 'I had a period where I was experiencing a lot of like stomach pain and and stomach issues. 'So my trainer at the time, he noticed my diet and he was like, you know, I highly suggest a Japanese diet. 'When I had the opportunity to go to Japan for the first time, I was like, "All right, let's let's put our toe in the water with a country whose food I know is very, very clean." 'And I started eating animal proteins over there. And I felt incredible.' In June, Lizzo explained that she started to take Ozempic at the beginning of her weight loss journey in 2023, but soon came to the conclusion that GLP-1 medication wouldn't help her in the long term. 'I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full.' The singer, who has undergone a weight loss transformation, shared her journey and gave an insight into her new diet and lifestyle Lizzo then added, 'But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.' While the star made the choice to stop taking Ozempic early on, she stated that she didn't see it as 'cheating' for those that have taken the medication to help with losing weight. 'It's not easy. It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with,' the performer expressed.

12 Celebrities Who Took Decades To Make It Big
We love a good rise to fame story, but the idea of an overnight success is kind of a every viral sensation or breakout role is usually a decade of side gigs, indie credits, and even straight-up rejection. Many celebrities have appeared out of nowhere, but in reality? They've been working their way up to the top for YEARS. Here are 12 stars and their journeys to becoming "overnight successes." She may be topping the charts with bangers like "Espresso" and "Please Please Please," but Sabrina Carpenter has been putting in the work for years. Starting out as a Disney star on Girl Meets World, Sabrina simultaneously acted and released music. She released five studio albums before the hugely successful "Short n' Sweet" became platinum in one month, and earned her a GRAMMY. Simu Liu may have become a household name from Shang-Chi and Barbie, but his climb to stardom began much earlier. Before Marvel came along, Simu worked as a stuntman, stock photo model, and actor in indie Canadian shows — including 5 seasons as Jung Kim on Kim's Convenience. He may be The Mandalorian and Joel in The Last of Us, but Pedro Pascal has been around for over two decades. Pedro spent the early 2000s appearing on basically every crime show known to man — NYPD Blue, Law & Order, and CSI to name a few. It wasn't until his role as Oberyn Martell in Game of Thrones that he was quickly on his way to superstardom. In 2019, Lizzo went viral for "Truth Hurts," but she had already been working in the music scene for a decade. "Truth Hurts" originally released in 2017, and only blew up two years later thanks to it's appearance on Netflix's Someone Great. When the song was confirmed eligible for awards that year, Lizzo celebrated online, acknowledging her hard work. Chappell Roan's meteoric rise in 2024 might've felt sudden, but she's been working towards it since 2015. After signing with Atlantic Records and launching her debut EP, she was dropped after releasing "Pink Pony Club" in 2020. She kept going and teamed up with producer Dan Nigro, eventually scoring a No. 2 album on the Billboard 200 with "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess." After Normal People, Paul Mescal was EVERYWHERE. But, did you know that he did extensive stage work beforehand? He starred in productions like The Great Gatsby and The Plough and the Stars, before landing his breakout TV role on Normal People, which later opened the doors to Gladiator II and Aftersun! Speaking of theatre, Stephanie Hsu also took to the stage before hitting the big screen. She spent years performing on Broadway with Be More Chill and the The SpongeBob Musical before landing the part on Everything Everywhere All at Once. You may know him now as The Bear's Carmy, but Jeremy Allen White had a decade-long gig as Lip Gallagher in Shameless. He put in the work for years before receiving mainstream success, and has now won three consecutive Golden Globes for best actor in a television series. Before there was Lana Del Rey, there was Lizzy Grant. She began releasing music under that name in 2010, which wasn't well received. Still, she kept writing, recording, and developing her infamous aesthetic. It wasn't until she rebranded and released "Born to Die" where she exploded onto the music scene. Kesha's "TiK ToK" defined an era, but she was grinding behind the scenes long before that. She wrote for many artists and even sang uncredited background vocals on Flo Rida's "Right Round." After years of legal battles and setbacks, she's now an independent artist with new music and an upcoming tour! To many, Breaking Bad was Bryan Cranston's big break, but he had already spent decades in the industry beforehand. He starred on soap operas, did voiceover work, and appeared in smaller roles across numerous projects. It wasn't until his role as Hal in Malcolm in the Middle that he began to gain mainstream acclaim. After that, it was only a matter of time until Breaking Bad made him a legend. Bridesmaids might've made Melissa McCarthy a movie star, but she already had a developed comedy resume beforehand. She starred as Sookie on Gilmore Girls and appeared in a ton of early 2000s comedies before breaking through in Hollywood. Which celeb's career glow up surprised you the most? I need to catch up on some of their early work now...🎬🎵 Got another "overnight success" that actually took much longer? Let us know in the comments!

Lizzo shares meal swaps that helped her lose 16 percent body fat: ‘There's a balance'
Singer-rapper Lizzo has a fan base of her own. Be it her songs or social media posts, everyone loves Lizzo. Not to forget, her awe-inspiring weight loss journey. And, now, the 37-year-old has opened up about the go-to meals she regularly had, leading her to surpass her weight loss goal. File photo of Lizzo(AP) In an interview with Women's Health, the Truth Hurts singer shared that her diet mainly consists of protein and vegetables. She starts her day with two scrambled eggs, chicken sausage and cauliflower hash brown for breakfast. For lunch, Lizzo opts for a Thai chicken salad or even lettuce wraps at times that are filled with tuna or sliced chicken. Later on, she takes turkey meatloaf with cauliflower mashed potatoes as well as green beans for dinner. However, what's noteworthy is that the singer tries to eat her dinner before 5 PM. She insists that this time slot has been a key towards her good health. Lizzo told the magazine that she is suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease, or commonly known as GERD. Due to this, her body requires time to digest food before she can go to sleep. Amid this, Lizzo even munches on snacks, which include low-sugar Greek yogurt having blueberries or blackberries and honey. Also, she takes one cup of coffee filled with vanilla protein, rather than having numerous cups in a day. She even suggested that she does not have a strict diet plan and rather prioritises listening to her body. While sticking to the normal routine, she often goes out to eat whenever she wants. She satisfies her cravings by taking meals like waffles with chicken tenders or crab legs. Talking about weight loss, Lizzo said that there is a 'balance' and she feels that's 'what true health is.' In June 2025, Lizzo revealed on the Just Trish podcast that she tried Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs. The medications have become quite popular for their appetite-regulating effects, even though these are originally made to treat Type 2 diabetes. Lizzo admitted that she has 'tried everything,' adding that for her it's 'just the science' of 'calories in vs. calories out.' The singer had in 2020 became vegan and even marked her six-month journey on TikTok. But she later shared that she was not "getting the nutrients I needed'. Thereafter, she started adding animal products to her diet and claims to have seen noticeable weight loss results. FAQs: 1. How much weight has Lizzo lost? In April, she announced that she had reduced her body mass index by 10.5 and dropped 16% of her body fat. 2. Is Lizzo vegan? No, she is not following a vegan diet anymore. 3. What size of clothes does she wear now? Lizzo said she still wears "plus-size clothing" and "got the same belly". She thinks she is a "smaller version' of herself now.

Music has saved my life, says Lizzo
Lizzo's music has helped her to navigate depression. The 37-year-old singer admits that making music helped her to overcome some of the darkest and most depressing moments in her life. Asked about her experience of dealing with depression, Lizzo told Rolling Stone: "My relationship with music was still very intense. "I still am like, 'Music saved my life,' because there were really dark moments when I was working on Love in Real Life, my album, where I was like, 'Okay, I don't think I can make it through the day, but I have to go to the studio." Lizzo actually wrote a lot of songs that haven't made the final cut of Love in Real Life. However, the creative process still proved to be a cathartic experience for Lizzo. The singer recalled thinking: "That felt good to say, but you can't put that out." Lizzo used to agonise over her lyrics because she feared offending fans. But the singer is now much more comfortable with who she is and how she thinks. She explained: "I said, 'I will never ever, ever, ever, ever be a side chick' in the original [of Truth Hurts]. And then I was like, 'Mm, but what if I offend side chicks?' And so I was like, 'I will never ever, ever, ever, ever be your side chick.' "I always overthink these things because I know who's consuming my music and I'm very [concerned about] how they're going to feel, how it's going to affect them. "But it's like — to keep it very, very funky with you — everybody's offended by everything today, so it's impossible to not offend somebody. So it's like, just say what you want to say. Just say whatever you want to say." Meanwhile, Lizzo previously explained that fame and success didn't do anything to ease her anxiety and depression. The chart-topping star told Variety in 2022: "People become famous, and it's like — my DNA didn't change. "Nothing changed about me. My anxiety didn't go away. My depression didn't go away. The things that I love didn't go away. I'm still myself. But the way y'all look at me and perceive me has changed. It's a very weird, kind of formless thing."

RESIDENT ALIEN Recap: (S04E04) Truth Hurts
Resident Alien Season 4 Episode 4, 'Truth Hurts,' sees Harry endure the pains of love as a product of telling the truth. As it turns out, navigating a relationship with an alien and your alien babies is pretty damn hard when you're human. The outing is a bit slower, but it fleshes out our core character dynamics and, at least for Kate, plants the narrative seeds for what's to come. Plus, Alan Tudyk and Edi Patterson are comedic perfection together. RELATED: Read our recap of the previous Resident Alien episode, 'Ties That Bind' Resident Alien, 'Truth Hurts' We open with a flashback to 20 years ago, at the Hawthorne house. Young Ben is hosting a rager. D'arcy, who was recently away from town doing her skiing thang, confesses that she likes Ben. Not 'likes' him — like likes him. They kiss. Suddenly, Judy stumbles out of the front door while attempting to drag a keg. The cops are on their way to bust the party. Aw, nuts. In the present day, Harry (Tudyk) reckons with being the father of more children. Heather (Patterson) is in her Blue Avian form. Harry's attraction to her in this form has waned significantly to … nonexistent. She nonchalantly informs him that she killed the Mantid. His corpse is outside. Heather offers some of his guts to Harry, which Harry politely declines. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Truth Hurts' Season 4 Episode 4 — Pictured: Alan Tudyk as Harry Vanderspeigle — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Being Human Is Romantic Then, Harry proposes that Heather return to her human form while they're together. It could be romantic. Sure, she'll only have one vagina, but if it's what Harry wants… RELATED: TV Review: Resident Alien Season 4 Later, Asta (Sara Tomko) and D'arcy (Alice Wetterlund) chat with Kayla (Sarah Podemski) at the diner. She's now up to date on all the alien madness, including Heather slaughtering the Mantid. Kayla's irritated that Asta has left her out of the loop for so long. She almost spills the alien secret to Jay (Kaylayla Raine), who's working a shift at the diner. Side note: Where's everyone's favorite dad, Dan? I demand to see him. Anyway, D'arcy reveals they're heading to Harry's cabin to bury the Mantid. They invite Kayla to join them, but she opts out. As it turns out, burying alien corpses isn't on her bucket list. Meanwhile, Mike (Corey Reynolds) describes the Mantid to Liv (Elizabeth Bowen) in intricate detail as she sketches the (now dead) creature. Liv captures his likeness so well, even though she doesn't quite understand the physicality of one who catches their roommate wearing their favorite jeans. Metal Sasquatch Liv asks Mike if he's talked to Lena yet about an alien being behind the murders. He's working his way up to it. Then, our dynamic duo learns about a strange 'sasquatch' sighting in the woods. Mike tells Liv to ensure Peter, our resident cyborg Terminator, remains hidden from the general public. RELATED: 10 Out-of-This-World Predictions for Resident Alien Season 4 Then, Asta and D'arcy pay Harry a visit. They meet his bird alien kiddos. After Heather emerges from the bedroom, Bridget tries to consume one of said bird alien kiddos. Thankfully, Harry pulls the child out before they become part of the contents of Bridget's stomach. Harry literally kicks Bridget out the door, which made me laugh louder than it should have. What a good dad. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Truth Hurts' Season 4 Episode 4 — Pictured: (l-r) Alice Wetterlund as D'Arcy Bloom, Sara Tomko as Asta Twelvetrees — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) After this, Asta and D'arcy watch in horror as Heather 'breastfeeds' by vomiting what looks like a green smoothie into a bag. Yum. Harry appears unwell. When it seems like Harry might disclose his human status to Heather, the two engage in foreplay instead. They put on a show for D'arcy and Asta. Patterson and Tudyk are hilariously electric together. So funny. Deep Hole Judy Later, Asta and D'arcy enlist the aid of Judy (Jenna Lamia), who's apparently an expert gravedigger from her time working in the cemetery. 'Deep Hole Judy,' they called her. Deep Hole Judy sings a merry tune while she digs. (She doesn't know who's going in the hole, though.) RELATED: All Is Not Well in Patience in Resident Alien Season 4 Trailer At the same time, Ben (Levi Fiehler) and Kate (Meredith Garretson) both guess how D'arcy is involved with the aliens. Kate suspects she is an alien, while Ben proposes she was abducted. Kate pivots, wondering if the Greys kidnapped D'arcy's baby while she was pregnant. They decide to approach D'arcy about it, while treading carefully, of course. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Truth Hurts' Season 4 Episode 4 — Pictured: (l-r) Nicola Correia-Damude as Detective Lena Torres, Corey Reynolds as Sheriff Mike Thompson — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Elsewhere, Mike and Lena (Nicola Correia-Damude) go on a walk. Mike finally divulges his truth — he believes in aliens. Not only that, but he saw an alien feasting on a deer in the woods. He describes the Mantid to Lena. She's incredulous. So, a praying mantis-type alien is behind all the murders? This drives a wedge between Mike and Lena (understandably so). Have You Watched Any Documentaries Lately? Later, Asta and D'arcy prepare to bury the Mantid after Judy dug a perfect hole with startlingly accurate dimensions. Judy has a gift. The following day, Ben and Kate meander into The 59. They try to casually — and subtly — address the alien-shaped elephant in the room. Kate claims she and Ben watched an alien documentary the other day about a race of aliens who abducted babies from their mothers' wombs. Does this resonate with D'arcy? RELATED: New TV Shows This Week (June 22 – 28) Ben reminds D'arcy about when she told him he'd been abducted by aliens. At one point, D'arcy pretends to be offended by what the Hawthornes are telling her. She excuses herself to 'get some air.' However, she's secretly panicking because Kate and Ben are clearly aware of Daisy's existence. Meanwhile, Asta finds Harry in his office with her coat. Being human sucks; he's perpetually cold. Asta learns that Harry hasn't told Heather yet about losing his alien energy. She encourages him to tell her the truth. Relationships are about honesty and transparency. She also calls Harry out on referring 90 percent of his patients to the other doctor while keeping his therapy sessions open. Harry admits it's tough having to contend with a puny human brain. Truth Hurts and Heals Then, D'arcy pops by with a revelation: Ben and Kate know their baby, well, exists. Harry reveals Kate opened up about her child during a hypnosis session. D'arcy believes they should tell the Hawthornes about Daisy. However, Asta and Harry push back, claiming the Greys will ultimately abduct the child again when they take Kate. This doesn't sit well with D'arcy. RELATED: The Premise and How Star Trek Fans Created Fanfic as We Know It Elsewhere, Liv and John (Trevor Carroll) set up a camera at the spot where Mike saw the Mantid in the woods. Liv is admittedly envious that everyone is seeing aliens but her. She still can't believe John saw the Loch Ness Monster. (Love this Nessie confirmation on Resident Alien .) RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Truth Hurts' Season 4 Episode 4 — Pictured: Elizabeth Bowen as Deputy Liv Baker — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Later, Heather surprises Harry with dinner. Harry finally bares his soul to Heather — he's fully human now. The Greys stole his alien energy. Heather is accepting of this. In fact, she proposes to Harry, calling him the love of her life. Harry admits something else: He doesn't find her Blue Avian form attractive anymore. Heather's fine with remaining a human, if that makes him happy. He Said Yes Harry says yes to the proposal. Huzzah! They embrace, and Heather confesses that it'll be tricky navigating the familial waters, since her parents are quite racist against humans, but they'll make it work. After this, the pair dives into potential colors for their wedding. Heather's maid of honor will be her sister, while Harry names Asta his best man. Aw. I love their friendship. RELATED: Read our SurrealEstate recaps Suddenly, Heather's father arrives. He ain't happy about his baby girl marrying a human. He attacks Harry. Elsewhere, D'arcy is closing up the pub when Ben slips in to confront her. He realizes D'arcy might not have felt comfortable disclosing her truth to Kate, but he and Darce go waaay back. She can tell him the truth. Is there anything about aliens that Ben should know? Particularly related to his multiple abductions? D'arcy's face changes, but she remains resolute. She doesn't divulge Daisy's location. Ben asks her again. It's clear he knows she's withholding something. Ugh, I wish D'arcy knew that Ben and Kate removed their chips. After Ben departs, D'arcy calls Judy, in need of a drinking buddy. As it turns out, Judy has been in the bar this whole time. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Truth Hurts' Season 4 Episode 4 — Pictured: Corey Reynolds as Sheriff Mike Thompson — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Break It Off After this, Harry and Heather have a heart-to-heart. Well, this is following her dad's violent confrontation with Harry. Harry believes Heather deserves to be her true self with someone who loves her. She shouldn't have to hide her alien form just because Harry finds it repulsive. Heather doesn't want to part ways, but she understands. She asks Harry to recite his favorite poem in the language of his people one last time. It tugs at the heartstrings with its series of screeches and moans. RELATED: Revival : Check Out 9 First-Look Photos From Melanie Scrofano-Led Series The following day, Mike and Lena mend fences. She might not understand his belief in aliens, but she loves him anyway. Yes, they both say the l-word to each other. Awww. Mike advises Lena to exercise caution while delving into this murder investigation. Aliens are not to be trifled with. After Heather and the babies leave, Asta comforts Harry. He's experiencing his first heartbreak as a full-fledged human — one with a dairy allergy. He wonders if he'll always feel this way. Asta reassures him that it gets better. I love these two so much.
