Weight Loss & Weight Gain

Tracy Cortez pulled out all the stops to ensure she made weight for her upcoming main event fight with Rose Namajunas ... cutting off inches of her hair to come in under the 126 lb. limit!

Talk about dedication!

The 30-year-old fighter hit the scales Friday morning in Denver, CO ... with only the scale standing between her and Thug Rose, who are headlining Saturday's Fight Night card. The problem for Cortez ... she was about a pound overweight, and time was running out.

Tori Spelling is ready for hot girl summer, rocking a bikini and looking super fit ... and apparently, it's all thanks to a weight loss drug.

Tori hit the beaches of Malibu Tuesday in a neon green bikini and was kinda spilling out of her fit.

In true Malibu style, she was also rockin' some serious bling while jumping the SoCal waves.

Oprah Winfrey says she once didn't go to a star-studded Christmas party because she felt "too fat" to show face.

The media mogul opened up about her health journey on Tuesday's inaugural episode of the "The Jamie Kern Lima Show" ... recalling times she felt held back by public perception of her weight.

Oprah says in 1988, she was invited to Don Johnson's Christmas party ... a big deal for her at the time, considering he was starring on the hit TV show "Miami Vice."

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll has undergone a massive physical transformation this offseason ... and at an event Thursday night, he proudly showed off his new bod!!

Check out images of Big Blue's head man from the red carpet at NY's "Giants 100: A Night With Legends" show at Madison Square Garden ... he looked goooooood.

His wife, Beth, also stunned in a white dress ... appearing to go through her own body transformation with Brian over the past few months.

Kim Kardashian is taking her new career in acting seriously -- willing to give up a cosmetic procedure to pursue it ... but isn't willing to do certain things for a full transformation.

The reality star was talking about her new on-camera escapades on the latest episode of "The Kardashians" -- confirming her new comedy, "The Fifth Wheel," was the subject of a bidding war ... which ultimately went to Netflix.

While talking about the whole ordeal with pals -- she says she didn't think studios would take her seriously at first ... but now, she's apparently getting flooded with acting opportunities.

Ashley Benson's not here for the weight loss drug rumors anymore -- she's hitting back hard, crediting her post-baby bod to a good old-fashioned gym grind.

It all kicked off when a fan commented, "How was she JUST pregnant?!?" on an IG snap of Ashley, who gave birth in February, rocking a black tank top and gray sweatpants. Another user responded to the fan's question by posting an Ozempic ad.

Ashley shared a screenshot of that exchange to her IG Stories Monday, and dismissed the Ozempic remark as hilarious ... 'cause it undermined her gym hustle.

Tom Brady was so strict with his diet during his playing days ... some of his cheat meals featured exactly ONE chicken wing!!!

... at least, that's according to Julian Edelman, who revealed this week that's how his former quarterback seriously got down at team dinners prior to Patriots game days.

The ex-New England wide receiver went in-depth on the topic with People ... saying he found out about Brady's weird eating quirk when the Pats would get the same food catered every night before games -- including chicken wings.

Khloe Kardashian slimming down had an effect in a unique way -- 'cause she says dropping pounds trimmed those hard-to-reach areas as well -- including her freaking vagina.

The reality star opened up about losing weight on Thursday's episode of "The Kardashians" on Hulu ... and she says ever since she's lost weight, she's lost her close friend "Camille" -- the name she gave to her camel toe.

Watch ... what starts out as a lovely conversation about micro-penises between Khloe and her half-sister Kylie Jenner, takes a personal turn when KK uses the term "microp***" -- before admitting she wishes she had a smaller hoo-ha herself.

"South Park" took direct aim at the whole "body positivity" movement and used Lizzo as its weapon.

The episode -- titled "The End of Obesity" -- uses the singer as the alternative to Ozempic. It features Eric Cartman in a doctor's office trying to score some O, but he can't afford it and insurance isn't an option.

The doc says, “I’m going to write you a prescription for Lizzo. She’s a really good singer who talks about body positivity, and just being happy with the way you look. I want you to listen to Lizzo five times a day, and watch her videos just before bedtime. I’m afraid you’ll have to be on Lizzo for the rest of your life.”

Then the episode gets all official, claiming the FDA gave its stamp of approval, concluding ... “Lizzo helps you eat everything you want, and keep physical activity to a minimum….stop listening to Lizzo if you experience suicidal thoughts. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis, hypothermia, and literally s****ing out of your ears.”

When "South Park" drops a new special called, "The End of Obesity," ya gotta know someone or something's getting destroyed -- and in this case, it's weight loss drugs and Lizzo ... via "body positivity."

Here's the deal ... in the Paramount+ special, which started streaming Friday, the women of "South Park" (and, of course, the buffoon Randy), all turn to Ozempic to lose weight ... while lying by saying they're exercising to drop the lbs.

Cartman, the iconic angry, fat kid on the long-running cartoon, wants some of that sweet Ozempic for himself -- but since he doesn't have diabetes, insurance won't cover it, and he can't afford the hefty price tag.

Scott Disick's subtly confirming his use of weight loss drugs to achieve his drastic physical transformation ... all while touting his healthy new lifestyle.

During Thursday's season 5 premiere of "The Kardashians," Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner swung by Scott's home ... where they explored the contents of his fridge, which included almond milk, fruit and other low-calorie items.

Khloe praised Scott for making healthy choices ... but noticeably glossed over the boxes of Mounjaro -- a popular weight loss drug -- which were totally visible in his butter compartment.

College basketball star DJ Burns Jr. has gone through a shocking body transformation after becoming a March Madness sensation this year ... reportedly losing 45 pounds in a matter of weeks -- and no, it's not a result of Ozempic.

The N.C. State big man -- who led the Wolfpack to a Final Four appearance just two months ago -- has been training like crazy leading up to the NBA Draft ... with Shams Charania stating the hooper shed some serious weight over the past six and a half weeks.

Shams broke it down on FanDuel TV ... saying Burns looked "totally different" when they met up at the prospect's pro day in L.A. this week.

Chef Andrew Zimmern is slamming the food industry for creating Ozempic-friendly meals ... as processed foods are largely to blame for America's obesity epidemic.

We caught up with the celebrity chef Tuesday at LAX, where he made it clear he isn't against people using weight loss medications -- but finds it "about as messed up as it gets" that businesses are capitalizing on the situation.

As more and more Americans get on board with weight loss meds like Ozempic or Wegovy, the "Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations" host says .. "I think the really sad truth is we're gonna have more processed food that costs $5 or less to go with your very expensive injectable."

Gayle King is dishing on how she got cover ready for her photo shoot with Sports Illustrated ... giving cred to the very company her pal Oprah Winfrey just ditched, at least professionally.

We caught up with Gayle in NYC, where the CBS News anchor shared she never dreamed of being an S.I. Swimsuit cover model ... but hinted she really doesn't hate all the attention that comes with it.

She kinda said it all when she admitted, "I am still floating."

Dr. Terry Dubrow's giving Kelly Clarkson props for coming clean about using a weight loss drug -- but he's not cool with the half-truths that came before, and he's encouraging others to be more transparent.

We got the "Botched" star out in Bev Hills, where he's tipped his hat to Kelly's incredible transformation but lamented her denial of using Ozempic ... which indirectly put the spotlight on the other option: Mounjaro.

Dr. Dubrow says Kelly's attempt to distance herself from Ozempic is a real bummer 'cause the drug is a huge game-changer -- not only for obesity but tackling other health woes.
