Delta Burke is revealing the shocking lengths to which she went just to drop a few pounds in her heyday -- using crystal meth as an appetite suppressant!

The actress -- best known for playing Suzanne Sugarbaker on "Designing Women" -- stopped by the 'Glamorous Trash' podcast and opened up about how the scrutiny over her weight led her to drug use.

Delta said she was first prescribed weight-loss pills while in acting school in London, but later learned the prescription was illegal in the States -- so, she had someone get her similar pills while she starred in "Filthy Rich" between 1982 and 1983.

Delta Burke ha revelado hasta qué punto llegó para perder unos kilos en sus mejores tiempos: ¡utilizó metanfetamina como supresor del apetito!

La actriz -más conocida por interpretar a Suzanne Sugarbaker en "Designing Women"- estuvo en el pódcast "Glamorous Trash" y se abrió sobre su peso y de como esto la llevó a usar drogas.

Delta dijo que primero le recetaron pastillas para bajar de peso -en la escuela de actuación en Londres- pero más tarde se enteró de que la receta era ilegal en los Estados Unidos, por lo que consiguió que le encontraran pastillas similares mientras que protagonizaba "Filthy Rich" entre 1982 y 1983.

A bunch of good Samaritans banded together to save a driver from a burning car at the very last second ... and the harrowing rescue is all on video.

Dash cam footage captured the tense scene moments after the driver veered off a highway in St. Paul, Minnesota ... crashing into a light pole. As the flames started spreading, several passersby sprang into action, feverishly trying to free the driver, who was trapped inside.

As you can see, as many as 6 people gripped the car doors and tried to force them open -- they were pinned against a guardrail -- so the driver could get out.

Luke Bryan's proving the show must go on ... 'cause he slipped during last night's performance and crashed to the ground hard -- but, took the incident in stride.

The country music singer-songwriter performed at the Coast City Country Festival in Vancouver last night ... and while hyping up his next song Bryan stepped in the wrong spot and went flying into the air.

Échale un vistazo al video, Bryan parece un dibujo animado pisando una cáscara de plátano... se puede apreciar lo grande que fue el resbalón.

Kaylee Gain avanza en su recuperación. Ha vuelto a caminar a menos de dos meses de sufrir una brutal golpiza que la dejó en coma, pero aún le queda camino por recorrer según sus padres.

Gain -cuya cabeza fue golpeada repetidamente contra el suelo por una compañera de estudios en un video ahora famoso- ha dado buenas señales de recuperación durante este mes, caminando con poca ayuda e incluso hablando frases cortas, así lo dicen sus padres en una nueva actualización de GoFundMe.

Su familia dice que Kaylee todavía lleva un casco porque su colgajo de hueso -una sección del cráneo eliminado para permitir el acceso durante la cirugía cerebral- todavía no está en perfecto estado y aseguran que se arreglará en una futura operación.

Kaylee Gain is making strides in her recovery -- walking around less than two months after a brutal brawl landed her in a coma -- but, she's still got a ways to go, according to her folks.

Gain -- whose head was slammed repeatedly into the ground by a fellow student in a now-infamous video -- is thankfully doing much better in mid-April, walking with little assistance and even speaking short phrases ... so say her parents in new GoFundMe update.

Her family says Kaylee's still wearing a helmet because her bone flap -- a section of the skull removed to allow access during brain surgery -- is still not intact. They say it will be fixed in a future surgery.

Mama June está buscando perder peso a través de las inyecciones, después de que sus propios esfuerzos por perder más de 100 libras fracasaran recientemente.

La estrella de los realities show compartió un clip en su cuenta de IG el martes, desde la clínica donde está recibiendo una dosis de semaglutida, una prescripción aprobada por la FDA comúnmente conocida como Ozempic o Wegovy, que previamente había sido reservada para la diabetes tipo 2 y el tratamiento de la obesidad crónica.

June más o menos admite que las inyecciones son su último intento y que recurrió a ellas después de una larga saga por perder peso, que se inició en mayo de 2015, cuando pasó de pesar 550 libras a 311 libras con la ayuda de la cirugía de manga gástrica.

Mama June is hopping on the weight loss injection bandwagon -- that's after her own efforts to lose 100-plus pounds failed recently.

The reality star dropped an IG clip Tuesday, showing her at the clinic getting a dose of semaglutide -- an FDA-approved prescription commonly known as Ozempic or Wegovy, that had previously been reserved for type 2 diabetes and chronic obesity treatment.

June pretty much admits the shots are her last straw -- turning to them after a long weight loss saga, which kicked off back in May 2015, when she went from 550 lbs down to 311 lbs with the help of gastric sleeve surgery.

Bill Haney says it's time for Ryan Garcia to pay for all he's said ... and the trainer/dad of undefeated superstar boxer Devin Haney says his kid is going into the ring with one thing on his mind -- execute King Ry!

TMZ Sports talked to Bill just days before the hugely anticipated scrap where we chopped it up about all things Haney-Garcia, including whether pops thinks Ryan is struggling with his mental health, to how he believes the fight will turn out.

"It's absolutely an act," Bill said of Ryan's recent actions, before making it clear Team Haney wouldn't be distracted.

"We're not at the least bit taken back by the antics. If he can fool us, he can beat us, and we're nobody's fool. I think that's what he can do," Bill said.

"You try to give us the illusion that you're not focused, that you're not serious about the fight. To give us, you know, just that little bit to slow us down. But I'm telling you, we're motivated. New York City has motivated us!"

On the fight, it doesn't sound like Devin plans on showing any mercy to the 25-year-old, 24-1 boxing star.

"To all my parents, put your kids to bed or be careful of what they see. Because on the 20th, Devin is being sent in there to kill Ryan Garcia," Bill told us.

Haney then delivered another warning.

"If you go against the United States of America, it's treason," Haney said, "And, if he was to go against a religion, it would be blasphemy. To go against Devin the Dream, it's an execution, and it will be carried out on April the 20th at [Barclays]."

We also talked to Bill about his unwavering dedication to 25-year-old Devin ... and how his role has changed over the years as his undefeated (31-0) boxer son rose through the ranks.

"The first part of my life was protecting him. The second part was teaching him. Now I'm in that friendship stage. So it's a give and take. I give him my honest opinion, but it's all him. I'm telling you, when he found boxing and boxing found him, it was a marriage made in heaven."

The Devin Haney-Ryan Garcia super fight goes down on DAZN in just three days ... and Bill sent one last message.

Kate Beckinsale has kept the cause for her recent health issues close to the vest ... until now it seems ... although the signal is literally close to the vest.

The actress posted a series of photos and a video, showing her sitting on a bed while wearing a t-shirt that read, "Tummy Troubles Survivor." If we had to guess, Kate must have been experiencing stomach troubles that landed her in the hospital last month.

Throughout March, Kate uploaded several now-deleted pictures from her hospital bed, even one on UK Mother's Day with a tribute to her mother, but no explanation as to why she was in the hospital.

Justin Bieber's giving his fans what they want -- if just for a brief moment ... as he got back on a stage to perform live, joining Tems for her Coachella set.

Justin's cameo was a welcome surprise ... as the singer has been keeping a low profile following his Ramsay Hunt Syndrome diagnosis.
