Lizzo puzzles fans with new video as they struggle to tell if she's naked
Lizzo made jaws drop on Thursday as fans struggled to tell if she was wearing clothes in her new clip shared on Instagram. The singer, 37, showed off her slimmed-down figure in a provocative backyard video set to her track Still Can't Fuh. The clip showed off her curves in a platinum-blonde wig and what looked like nothing at all, while surrounded by a crew of backup dancers wearing barely-there thongs and sheer bodysuits. 'Are they naked I'm so confused,' one fan wrote, while another added, 'Who else thought they was naked?' Someone chimed in, 'They're not???' while another joked, 'Might as well be.' The mystery was eventually cleared up by a fan who explained they were wearing shapewear from Lizzo's own Yitty line: 'They're wearing nude sets from her line lol.' Another eagle-eyed viewer confirmed: 'They are actually wearing very sheer body suits. Zoom in and you see the sparkles on it and the crotch area on Lizzo's suit.' 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 revealed she experienced a period of 'very low energy', which ultimately pushed her to start '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. She said: 'I tried everything. Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. 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 said that she didn't see it as 'cheating' for those that have taken the medication to help with losing weight. She explained: 'It's not easy. It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with. I think their way of being fat phobic when you're telling someone they're cheating.' Earlier this year in January, the singer proudly announced that she had achieved her weight loss goal. On Instagram at the time, she said: 'I did it. Today when I stepped on my scale, I reached my weight release goal. 'I haven't seen this number since 2014! Let this be a reminder you can do anything you put your mind to. Time for new goals!'

Lizzo Says Beyoncé's Concert Reminded Her ‘Life Is Worth Living' After Lawsuits Sent Her Into a Depression
Lizzo recently went through a difficult time, but after attending one of Beyoncé's concerts, the Yitty founder realized that nothing can break her soul. In a candid conversation with Women's Health published Tuesday (July 1), Lizzo opened up about how seeing her idol perform kickstarted her healing journey after struggling for months with depression and isolation. The hitmaker attended the Renaissance Tour in 2023; that year, she was hit with an ongoing lawsuit from three former backup dancers accusing her of sexual harassment and toxic work conditions, all allegations Lizzo has vehemently denied. More from Billboard How Lizzo Channeled Weezy, Missy Elliott & Her 14-Year-Old Self for Her Rap Mixtape: 'I Was Calling Myself 'Lizzo Wayne' Charley Crockett's Second Album of the Year Is Arriving Soon: 'I Don't Gamble. I Just Risk It All' Marcus Jordan's 'I Can,' the First Song He Ever Wrote, Hits No. 1 on Gospel Airplay Chart 'I was so nervous,' she told the publication, noting she was worried that people in the crowd would 'boo me or be like, 'F–k you.'' When fellow attendees instead embraced her with encouraging remarks, Lizzo says she was inspired to pull herself out of that dark period. 'It made me feel like, 'Wow, maybe I don't want to die. Life is worth living.' That was the kick-starter to me being like, 'OK, Melissa, get your a– in gear and take your f–king life back.'' Lizzo has since embarked on a fitness and mental wellness journey, re-emerging stronger and more self-assured than ever ahead of the release of her upcoming album, Love in Real Life. But things were dark for quite some time, according to the musician, as the legal action against her made her question everything. 'You look around and think about every person you've ever known and every experience, and you wonder, 'Was that real?'' she told WH. 'I got very paranoid and isolated. I used to walk into glam and be like, 'Oh, let me tell you about this crazy s–t that happened last night!' I couldn't do that anymore. I pushed everyone away. I wasn't even talking to my therapist.' The backup dancers' lawsuit came in August 2023, with the plaintiffs accusing Lizzo of pressuring them to touch nude dancers at a club, commenting on their weight and private sex lives, and forcing her religious beliefs on them. Some of those claims were dismissed by a judge in 2024, but the lawsuit was still ordered to move forward; in June, however, Lizzo filed an appeal aimed at shutting it down for good on the grounds that the dancers' claims clashed with her First Amendment rights. In September 2023, Lizzo was hit with a second lawsuit, this time from a former member of her style team claiming she'd faced a 'culture of racism and bullying' while working for the Grammy winner. Again, Lizzo denied any wrongdoing, with her attorneys calling the claims 'meritless and salacious.' 'It got to the point where I was like, 'I could die,'' Lizzo recalled of the public backlash she faced in light of the lawsuits. 'I never attempted to kill myself or thought about it, but I did think, 'If everyone hates you and thinks you're a terrible person, then what's the point?'' Despite everything, the businesswoman knows she always has Bey. The Destiny's Child alum's discography is a go-to for Lizzo during her workouts, and the 'Truth Hurts' artist even got a personal shout-out from Bey on many nights of the Renaissance Tour during 'Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)' — something that made Lizzo cry when she witnessed it in person. 'In that moment I was thinking about baby me, listening to Happy Face by destiny's child and crying myself to sleep because of bullies,' she wrote on Instagram shortly afterward. 'It's an honor. Thank You @beyonce.'

Jennifer Lopez fans cringing over lesbian kiss during AMAs 2025 performance
ALABAWABA - Jennifer Lopez's AMAs performance sparks mixed reactions over surprise kiss. Also Read Sydney Sweeney reportedly eyeing OnlyFans after bathwater soap Jennifer Lopez lit up the stage at the 2025 American Music Awards with a sizzling performance that left fans speechless—and made one thing very clear: she's moved on. During the opening performance at Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, Jennifer Lopez performed a high-energy medley of the year's most popular songs. Her performance included eye-catching choreography and some quite unexpected public displays of affection. Sometime throughout the performance, Lopez kissed both a male and a female backup dancer, which resulted in a resounding response from the audience. It was a moment that was daring, playful, and completely in line with the pop icon's persona. Host US singer and actress Jennifer Lopez (R) (Photo by Robyn Beck / AFP) A tornado of sensuous energy was displayed by Lopez as the stage lights were dimmed and cameras swooped in. During the performance, Lopez not only kissed her dancers but also flirted and got hands-on with several other people. The concert was a proclamation that is back, that she is single, and that she is doing well. Ben Affleck, her ex-husband, was obviously absent from the event, and many fans couldn't help but wonder about whether or not her on-stage smooches were indicative of something. Following the conclusion of their divorce proceedings earlier this year, the former couple attempted to maintain a cordial demeanor in public. Recently, Affleck has even lauded Lopez in interviews that took place on the red carpet. But judging by her performance at the American Music Awards, Lopez is finished looking back.
