One of Hollywood’s most successful plastic surgeons has revealed the shocking secret behind some major celebrity makeovers.

Dr. David Matlock, whose clientele includes Oscar and Grammy winners, claims some celebrity personal trainers have secretly sent their clients to him and other surgeons for subtle nips and tucks.

Speaking to cosmetic injector Alex Pike on her podcast The faceDr. Matlock claimed that some celebrities – who he could not name – are now looking to more ‘non-invasive procedures’ such as micro-needling and radio frequency treatments to keep their improvements secret.

“Some of them came for a new role or whatever, they have to get in shape,” he said.

“We had a phase here where we didn’t understand why the coach sent that celebrity in,” he continued.

Speaking to cosmetic injector Alex Pike (pictured) on her podcast The Face, Dr. Matlock that the trainers use surgery to “jump start” their clients’ transformations.

“Well, the trainer wanted to make that huge jump and then he’s done!”

Alex replied: ‘They’re only going to credit the trainer though… [but] there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes.’

Although Dr. Matlock hasn’t mentioned any of the celebrities who have done this, he has a reputation for working with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood.

According to his website, the celebrity surgeon has worked with “a selection of A-list clients who have won Oscars, Grammys, Emmys, Tonys and more.”

He also went viral in 2013 after performing procedures on his then-fiancée Veronica Matlock to create the “perfect woman.”

The nurse underwent a ‘Wonder Woman’ makeover, including liposuction of the chin, arms and legs, and a Brazilian butt lift.

‘She chose everything I suggested. Even marriage,” he told Truly at the time.

Dr. Matlock operated on Angela White, aka Blac Chyna, for hours to remove illegal silicone injections she had previously placed on her buttocks

Although many clients of Dr. Matlock prefers to keep their procedures private, he has treated a number of reality stars publicly.

Last year, he operated on Angela White, aka Blac Chyna, for hours to remove illegal silicone injections she had previously placed on her buttocks.

He also performed laser vaginal rejuvenation and skin tightening on Kim Zolciak after her divorce from husband Kroy Biermann.

She’s known for her risque, explicit ensembles that include sheer bodysuits, skin-tights leggings and cleavage-baring tops.

But it’s not the runway that Bianca Censori is debuting her stylish looks on, but rather bizarrely ordinary venues – including the Cheesecake Factory restaurant, Starbucks and a Westfield mall.

While it’s clear rapper Kanye West – who goes by ‘Ye’ – still has influence in the fashion world despite falling out of favour due to anti-Semitic and sexist outbursts,  the ordinary streets of West Hollywood have now become his catwalk. 

The brains behind Yeezy, 46, is styling his wife, 29, in flesh-baring outfits, but the couple are more likely to be pictured popping in and out of parking lots than rubbing shoulders at premieres with A-listers – which perhaps makes Bianca’s outfit choices seem even more outrageous.

She had on a metallic silver micro miniskirt and thong underwear that exposed her bare butt cheeks as well as a busty triangle bikini top. 

Bianca’s outfit looked straight out of Kim’s closet. Kim, 43, is an avid wearer of silver bikinis and her clothing brand SKIMS famously released a metallic swimwear line in the summer of 2022. 

However, in contrast, the reality star sported the ensemble at venues where audacious clothing choices were expected: A SKIMS pop-up in Miami and glamorous beach holidays, posing up a storm on the shore.

Elsewhere Bianca and Ye headed to the mall in yet another explicit outfit on Monday.

The couple were spotted strolling through The Grove in LA, and heading to family restaurant The Cheesecake Factory to grab a bite.

Meanwhile last month, the couple were going for dinner in Paris – and Bianca sported crotch-flashing tights, but covered the area with her phone

In October, the couple also grabbed some Starbucks in Milan, where Bianca stepped out in a revealing white body suit with a plunging neckline

Earlier in the day, at a Beverly Hills building for a business meeting, the rapper was seen pulling down the model’s see-through, neon green tights, which she wore as pants and paired with a tiny, light beige tube top.

She sported a pair of black, pointed-toe pumps and nothing else to complete her risqué ensemble.

Meanwhile last month, the couple were going for dinner in Paris – and Bianca sported crotch-flashing tights, but covered the area with her phone.

In December, Bianca wore a skintight ivory leotard when hitting Disneyland with the rapper and his 10-year-old daughter North.

Bianca, who has developed a reputation for her jaw-dropping outfits, did not seem bothered that her plunging neckline served up a generous helping of cleavage. 

It was a very unusual outfit to model while at the Anaheim, California amusement park that is attended mostly by children. Bianca added yellow boots that looked like high socks. 

Ye also stood out for having what appeared to be a gray shirt over his head, which covered his face from the nose down.

In October, the couple also grabbed some Starbucks in Milan, where Bianca stepped out in a revealing white body suit with a plunging neckline.

She donned silver leggings and beige high heels to complete the look.

And it’s not just for outside spectators. In January Ye uploaded a series of scandalous pictures of his wife Bianca posing almost naked, in a nude string thong one piece.

In one of the photos uploaded by the controversial rapper, Bianca stood facing the kitchen counter preparing food whilst wearing the barely there garment, black knee-high boots and a bizarre leather mask. 

Ye captioned the shocking picture ‘cream of wheat,’ suggesting that his architect wife was cooking up some porridge in her strange outfit. 

The former husband of American media star Kim uploaded another snap of his much younger wife facing a wall in an empty hallway wearing the same provocative outfit with no caption. 

It’s not the first time Ye has appeared to rely on the shock value of audacious dressing in seemingly bizarrely regular settings. 

His honeymoon with Kim, back in 2014, was not set at the celebrity-beloved Lake Como or the French Riviera – but rather, wildly, County Laois in Ireland.

The couple were even spotted leaving the Odeon in Portlaoise before being snapped outside another cinema in Tullamore – around 20 miles away.

The avid cinemagoers are said to have watched X-Men: Days Of Future Past during the first stage of their marathon film-fest.

While still R-rated in nature, it’s likely Bianca’s ensembles wouldn’t cause as much of a commotion if they were contained within the glitz and glamour of Hollywood’s stylist-dressed A-listers.

A number of stars even appear to be taking inspiration from her.

Earlier this month Kristen Stewart stole the spotlight at the Love Lies Bleeding premiere in Beverly Hills.

The 33-year-old Twilight alum left onlookers in awe as she graced the red carpet in an eye-popping ensemble, just two weeks after surprising fans with her Rolling Stones cover featuring a jockstrap.

Rocking a barely-there black bodysuit, the gorgeous star paired the look with sheer stockings and impossibly high black heels.

She casually draped a black tuxedo jacket off her shoulders, complementing her look as she gathered her brunette tresses into a messy yet stylish bun. 

Meanwhile, US rapper Coi Lerpy wore another thigh-skimming outfit to the Grammy’s.

The Baby Don’t Hurt Me hitmaker opted for a YSL bodysuit from the 2019 archive.

Bianca’s fashion week ensemble included a very revealing black bodysuit teamed with hot pink boots

The highcut pant, paired with tights and a blazer without a top, was also reminiscent of Mrs Kanye West.

Meanwhile, The Crown’s Emma Corrin has also been known to rock a leotard.

They first opted for one on the red carpet in 2022, while wearing blue tights and no trousers to a recent event at the South Bank centre.

Miley Cyrus also opted for a no trouser look in a see-through mesh dress to the Grammy’s, as did Doja Cat.

In the UK, singer Tallia Storm went trouser-less to the BRITs, opting for a shirt, Union Jack blazer and stockings. 

Ye has been accused of exhibiting controlling behaviour in his relationship with Bianca.

He is thought to have banned her from using social media to protect her from negative comments, according to insiders, who claim her friends believe it’s really another tactic to further ‘isolate’ her.

Despite the architectural designer’s loved ones even staging an intervention concerning her relationship with the rapper and his ‘controlling ways,’ her husband appears to have changed her attitude towards social media.

Her style and look has completely changed since she began dating the rapper.  

‘Bianca has always had social media and she was active on it – until she married Kanye,’ an insider exclusively told DailyMail.com.

‘He doesn’t want her to have it because he thinks that it will hurt her if she had to read the nasty things that people say.

A number of stars even appear to be taking inspiration from Bianca. Earlier this month Kristen Stewart stole the spotlight at the Love Lies Bleeding premiere in Beverly Hills

Meanwhile, US rapper Coi Lerpy wore another thigh-skimming outfit to the Grammy’s. The Baby Don’t Hurt Me hitmaker opted for a YSL bodysuit from the 2019 archive

Emma Corrin stepped out in this high-cut bodysuit look for the My Policeman premiere in Toronto back in September 2022

Laverne Cox, known for her sartorial prowess, opted for a body suit during the Mugler show during PFW in Paris

‘He convinced her that, since she is a star now, she has to remain a mystery and it is creepy to those who know her as it feels like another form of control.’

However, friends have taken issue with the fact the rapper, who goes by the name Ye, is posting racy images of his wife on his own Instagram account – despite allegedly claiming she needs protection.

The insider added: ‘He is pushing her nakedness all over his own [account] so that he can control her narrative. It is disturbing, and by shutting her off from the world he is causing her to become more and more isolated.’

Friends are said to be stunned to see the usually assertive designer going along with Kanye’s demands as the source stressed: ‘This strong Bianca that was not going to deal with his s*** anymore has seemingly vanished once again. 

‘She is wearing what he wants, going where he wants and doing what he wants because she really has no other choice. She went from being his designer to his wife, which is unfortunately, not a paid position. She’s trapped.’

Back in October, DailyMail.com revealed that the Grammy-winning rapper had instructed his wife to ‘never speak’ – and issued her a set of rules to live by, including specific foods she can eat and what she can wear.

Insiders claimed the designer has ‘no mind of her own anymore’ and instead simply ‘obeys’ the controversial rapper, because he has convinced her they have ‘royal’ status. 

‘Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes never speak and wear what he wants her to wear,’ the source explained. ‘She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out.’

Bianca and Kanye secretly wed in December 2022, just one month after he finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian. 

Other stars like Bella Hadid and Kanye’s former sisters-in-law Kylie and Kendall Jenner have gone trouserless looks.

Kanye was also known for transforming his ex-wife’s style.

Soon after Kim and Kanye started dating in 2012, he completely overhauled her closet – forcing her to get rid of everything that he didn’t approve of.

It was documented for an episode of Kim’s reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. 

The clip showed the musician going through all of the star’s clothes, shoes, and handbags – and picking out numerous things that he didn’t like to give away.

‘Babe, you gotta clean out everything,’ he said, as a clearly stressed out Kim stared at one of the purses he wanted to eliminate.

‘No, no I need these,’ she begged as he grabbed a pair of her heels off the shelf. ‘Oh hell no,’ the musician responded. 

‘Kanye’s definitely inspired me to want to be more of an individual,’ she said during a confessional. ‘I think my style is just evolving and changing.

‘He’s a fashion designer and he loves clothes so I’m excited to, like, collaborate with him to see what his take on fashion is.’ 

Throughout their six-year marriage, Kim’s style certainly went through an evolution. Soon after they tied the knot in 2014, she started wearing much more revealing and sensual looks. She also ditched bright patterns and eye-popping colours for darker and simpler outfits instead.

In 2016, she credited Kanye with the change, telling CNN Style , ‘I really think that my relationship with my husband Kanye changed everything.’ They’re seen in 2019

In 2016, she credited Kanye with the change, telling CNN Style, ‘I really think that my relationship with my husband Kanye changed everything.

‘Back in the day, I thought I had the best style. I look back at outfits and I’m, like, mortified.

‘Before, I used to always think more is more and I used to accessorize and wear bracelets and earrings and necklaces. I used to do it all. 

‘Now I definitely understand how much cooler it is just to be a little bit simpler.’ 

It was no secret that Kanye heavily influenced the way Kim dressed while they were together – and after they split in 2021, Kim admitted during an episode of her show that she was struggling to pick out outfits without him.

‘I got to a point where I would ask him for advice for everything – down to what I wear,’ she explained. ‘Now I’m having panic attacks like, what do I wear?

‘I think that fashion has always been something that I’ve always been really into, but I’ve never been the creative.

‘I definitely see what I like but I’ve never really been the visionary. Kanye would come in and be like, “You should do your hair like this. You should do your makeup like this.” That’s his love language, it’s clothes. And so, I always just trusted in him.’

After working with Kanye, Kim became a style icon of the noughties with many A-listers dressing like her.

Similarly to Julia, soon after Kim and Kanye (seen in 2016) started dating in 2012, he completely overhauled her closet – forcing her to get rid of everything that he didn’t approve of

After Kim and Kanye split, the rapper started dating actress Julia Fox.

Before she was linked to the rapper, Julia would often sport simple and chic looks – including reserved jumpsuits and modest suits.

But soon after she confirmed that she was dating Kanye in early 2022, her sense of style changed practically over night.

During the first weeks of their romance, the Uncut Gems star, now 33, was spotted wearing a slew of daring and bold looks – including a bright blue trench coat, low-rise pants that left her thong on full display, a metallic body suit, and numerous tiny crop tops that completely exposed her stomach.

The couple made headlines in January of that year when they showed up to the Kenzo show at Paris Fashion Week donning matching all-denim looks.

They also wore similar black leather ensembles at the Schiaparelli runway event days later.

Julia (seen left in 2019 and right in 2022) said he gifted her an entire ‘hotel suite full of new clothes’ following their second date and convinced her to get rid of almost all of her ‘old’ stuff

Julia later spoke out about how important the way she dressed was to Kanye, telling Interview magazine that he completely ‘transformed’ her closet within days of them meeting.

She revealed that he actually gifted her an entire ‘hotel suite full of new clothes’ following their second date.

‘It was every girl’s dream come true. It felt like a real Cinderella moment,’ she recalled. 

‘I don’t know how he did it, or how he got all of it there in time. But I was so surprised. Like, who does things like this on a second date? Or any date.’

The model added that soon after, he convinced her to get rid of almost all of her ‘old clothes.’

‘A couple days later, all my s**t was in boxes, gone. It was so cathartic,’ she shared. ‘It wasn’t like I was just packing up my old clothes, it was like I was packing up my old life.’

Grammy Award-winning artist James Bay has opened up about his career and the impact of traveling for his work.

The ‘Hold Back the River’ hitmaker, 33, openly discussed the toll of leaving his two-year-old daughter with The Daily Telegraph.

“I’m very aware that I’m disappearing for a living… disappearing from the life of a child that I brought into the world and wants to be here and that wants me there,” the English hitmaker said .

‘That’s a big thing. It’s very difficult to navigate.”

The singer and his wife Lucy Smith welcomed their daughter Ada Violet in October 2021.

Known for global chart hits Let It Go and Hold Back The River, the 33-year-old also revealed that despite the desire for a successful song, he doesn’t ‘chase’ hits.

‘Chasing for a goal is extremely unhealthy. That affects social media and the state of mental health in relation to social media,” he admitted.

The singer is currently in Australia headlining the SummerSalt Festival and shared with the publication that a fourth album is on the way.

Bay will be performing a new song called Hope from the album for the first time at his Australian shows.

He married Lucy in August 2022, 10 months after welcoming Ada.

The couple had been together for 15 years and James previously credited Lucy with letting him pursue a career in music.

“I’m very aware that I’m disappearing for a living… disappearing from the life of a child that I brought into the world and that I want to be here and that wants me around,” he said.

In 2020 he said The sun, ‘She’s the coolest person in the world. Before we were in a relationship, we were good friends.

‘We used to be watching TV on a Wednesday evening and she would say, ‘Wait a minute, if you want to be a big artist one day, you should definitely go to a pub or club and play some ‘current songs’.

“She instilled that in me, and I got out and did it. Without her I wouldn’t be here.’

Beyoncé unveiled the cover of her highly anticipated country album Cowboy Carter during a speech the backlash she received for entering the genre.

“Today marks the 10-day countdown to the release of Act II,” the Grammy winner began. ‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the supporters of [the album’s singles] TEXAS HOLD ‘EM and 16 CARS.’

She continued, “I am honored to be the first Black woman to have the number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart. That wouldn’t have happened without the outpouring of support from all of you.”

The Texas-born 42-year-old added: “My hope is that years from now, when it comes to releasing music genres, mentioning an artist’s race will no longer be relevant.”

Her album cover depicts Beyoncé on horseback, waving an American flag while wearing a red, white and blue leather outfit with a silver Stetson.

She has a huge silver wig blowing in the wind, and a sash with the name of the album draped across her front.

‘This album has been more than five years in the making. It stemmed from an experience I had years ago where I didn’t feel welcome… and it was very clear that I wasn’t,” Beyoncé wrote in the caption.

“But that experience made me delve deeper into the history of country music and study our rich musical archive. It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some people who have dedicated so much of their lives to teaching our music history.”

She added, “The criticism I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to go beyond the limitations placed on me. act ii is the result of challenging myself and taking the time to bend and fuse genres to create this body of work.”

Beyoncé teased: “I have a few surprises on the album and have collaborated with some brilliant artists that I deeply respect. I hope you can hear my heart and soul, and all the love and passion I put into every detail and sound.”

She explained: ‘I focused on this album as a continuation of RENAISSANCE…I hope this music is an experience, creating a new journey where you can close your eyes, start from the beginning and never stop.’

Finally, she wrote, “This is not a country album. This is a “Beyoncé” album. This is act ii COWBOY CARTER, and I’m proud to share it with you!’

Beyoncé, who grew up in Houston, made her first foray into the genre with a country-tinged song called Daddy Issues on her 2016 album Lemonade.

Beyoncé announced her country project last month and released two singles during the Super Bowl, 16 Carriages and Texas Hold ‘Em

Both songs were hits, with Texas Hold ‘Em debuting at the top of both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.

She delivered a controversial performance of the song at that year’s Country Music Association Awards, taking the stage with the girl group then known as The Dixie Chicks and since renamed The Chicks.

When the CMAs posted footage of the performance to their official social media channels, the comments included attacks like, “Beyoncé overrated racist n****rb***h,” to the point where the videos were eventually removed.

Fans demanded that the videos be reinstated, but when the videos were reposted on Facebook, they received another round of racist comments.

Beyoncé announced her new country project last month and released two singles during the Super Bowl, 16 Carriages and Texas Hold ‘Em.

Both songs were hits, with Texas Hold ‘Em debuting at the top of both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Hot Country Songs charts.

The commercial success of Texas Hold ‘Em made Beyoncé the first black woman ever to have a country song reach number one on the Billboard charts.

Texas Hold ‘Em gave Beyonce the opportunity to provide a platform for black folk musician Rhiannon Giddens, who plays the banjo on the track.

However, reactions to the singles were not uniformly positive, as Beyoncé was also strongly denounced by rapper Azealia Banks.

Beyoncé, who grew up in Houston, made her first foray into the genre with a country-tinged song called Daddy Issues on her 2016 album Lemonade.

She delivered a controversial performance of the song at that year’s Country Music Association Awards, taking the stage with the girl group then known as The Dixie Chicks.

“Yes, black girls can make country music… but you just really don’t push the button… Beyoncé, please stop the madness,” Banks wrote on Instagram.

“The gay bossing, the overtly narcissistic attempts to lazily infringe on a genre where you think your popularity will win you praise in… You look like a food sister,” added Banks, who has built a reputation as scathing outspokenness.

Shortly afterwards, a source told DailyMail.com exclusively that Beyoncé had been bracing herself for the possibility of a backlash over her country album.

“She knows there will be resistance from those who want her to stay on a narrow street, but she doesn’t care,” the insider said, explaining that Beyoncé hoped to offer a “spotlight” to “the contributions that Afro -Americans have contributed to the genre.’

Beyoncé got “the motivation to make a country record after seeing how many of her fans loved her single Daddy Lessons and her performance at the CMAs.”

Justin Timberlake just released his sixth studio album, Everything I Thought It Was, on Friday, March 15, marking his first batch of new songs in six years.

And just hours after the official release, wife Jessica Biel couldn’t resist going into promo mode for the 10-time Grammy Award winner by posting a series of photos from his album release party.

‘Everything I thought it was is out NOW! Congratulations @justintimberlake,” she gushed in the caption.

The couple, who have been married since 2012 and have two children together, are seen in the photos hanging out for the camera with a blue sky and white cloud background.

Pictured from the waist up and both dressed in black, Biel and Timberlake showed off their undeniable chemistry, as the actress is seen giving her man a big hug, while in another image the Hollywood star put a big smile on the singer’s face as she came in for a kiss on the cheek.

Biel, 42, showed off her cool fashion sense when she showed up at the promotional event in Los Angeles wearing a black miniskirt with a gray hoodie under a black jacket.

She also added a dose of SexyBack by wearing black knee-high boots and black sheer stockings.

The former 7th Heaven star couldn’t keep her hands off Timberlake in the series of photos, which she also captured flashing a peace sign in one photo.

The duo put their heads together for another photo or two, causing them to burst out laughing more than once.

The former boy band star looked stylish at his party in a black suit which he teamed with a black t-shirt and matching leather shoes.

For an extra dose of cool, the singer-songwriter wore red-tinted glasses during the impromptu photo shoot.

Timberlake and Biel have quite the legendary relationship dating back to when they were first romantically linked in 2007.

They would date for several years but eventually broke up in 2011, only to get back together and get married the following year, according to People.

“Once you find that person, it’s like a baptism, where you’re like, ‘I can’t go back,’ you know what I mean?” Timberlake said in October 2019 about finding “the one” in Biel.

They would welcome two children into their family: sons Silas, eight, and Phineas, three.

Timberlake first made his mark in the music industry as a member of the boy band *NSYNC, which released four studio albums between 1997 and 2001 that were a hit with young fans.

The Memphis, Tennessee native opted to go solo and saw his star power rise with the release of Justify (2002) and its follow-up FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006), which sold over 10 million copies alone.

The duo were both dressed in black during the album’s release

The couple, who married in 2012 after dating for five years, also share two sons

Everything I Thought It Was, Timberlake’s sixth studio album, marks his first batch of new songs in six years; they can be seen at the album release party in LA

The new album was preceded by the single Selfish and the promotional Drown. Now that the record has fallen, the second official single, No Angels, follows.

Timberlake reunited with his former *NSYNC bandmates for a collaboration on the song Better Place.

“My sixth studio album Everything I Thought It Was will be released at midnight (ET),” the singer and actor shared on Friday. “This album is the culmination of where I’ve been and where I’m going – and I’m so grateful, nervous and excited to bring it into the world for all of you. Thank you for the love, it really means so much to me.”

In total, Everything I Thought It Was contains 18 new songs that translate into over an hour and 16 minutes of music.

For those in the know, she’s been quietly circling the mainstream since the release of her 2017 debut single, I Don’t Want It All.

But a collaboration with close friend Sam Smith for the number one hit Unholy arguably thrust her into the spotlight – and won her a new legion of fans.

A commercial breakthrough of sorts came in 2023, when Petras joined Smith on stage for a provocative live performance at the 2023 Grammy and BRIT Awards, watched by millions of people around the world.

And talk to Cosmopolitan BritainIn the April-May issue, the 31-year-old trans singer admits that working with Smith – both on stage and in the studio – marked a significant change in her professional fortunes.

“It was crazy… It took over my life – suddenly I was traveling a lot, and there were more eyeballs on me than ever before,” she said.

Kim Petras has credited close friend Sam Smith with reviving her pop career

The German-born trans singer has developed a close friendship after working with the British star on his number one hit Unholy

“It felt like a huge breakthrough because it changed the music industry’s perception of me and what I could do.”

Petras was assigned male at birth before undergoing gender reassignment in her teens, and she believes her friendship with Smith — who identifies as non-binary — has been strengthened by the inevitable public attention it brings to her private life.

“Sam is such a great person and has been my coach in many ways,” she said. ‘If I feel in crisis, or read something about myself that I can’t deal with, I text or call them.

‘That amount of media attention is really frightening; it forced me to grow as a person, and it’s so inspiring to see Sam be able to shake that off.”

Unholy topped the charts in 20 countries before winning Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards

But the intense scrutiny that inevitably followed would force Petras into therapy as she processed the song’s unprecedented success.

“Therapy was necessary for me after I had a huge number, to learn how to shut it all down,” she said.

‘I had a therapist in my teens and stopped when things got busy. But I missed someone I could tell everything to.

In the April-May issue of Cosmopolitan UK, the singer admits that her collaboration with Smith marked a significant change in her professional fortunes.

Petras was assigned male at birth before undergoing gender reassignment, and she believes her friendship with Smith has been strengthened by the interest it brings to her private life.

‘I recommend therapy to everyone; it’s an essential tool… the music industry can be very hectic.”

So hectic that she rarely has time to date, and when she does, her elevated status can often be problematic.

“I’m someone who really enjoys my life, and I’m interested in people who enjoy their lives… Generally, when I date, I’m looking for people who are passionate,” she said. “But dating when you have a public persona is strange.”

Lizzo pulled down her gray sweatpants and dared to bare her derriere in a post promoting her shapewear brand Yitty.

The 35-year-old rapper-singer-flatist was modeling her company’s $74.95 “Nearly Naked Shaping Longsleeve Body.”

‘Easy jerking off! This bodysuit is calling [your] name! [You] Just know you want that,” Lizzo — who has 43.2 million social media followers — captioned her Instagram.

‘Our always *sold out* almost naked bodysuits are back baby! With new colours! Sizes 6X-XS! Buy them before they’re sold out (again)!’

Two years ago, the four-time Grammy winner created Yitty with Kristen Dykstra in collaboration with Kate Hudson’s activewear brand Fabletics.

Lizzo got glam for the shoot thanks to her hairstylist Bowie ‘Nunie’ Stoner and make-up artist Alexx Mayo.

Comparing images of the “body norm” activist from a year ago, it’s clear she’s been buffing away her famously plump figure thanks to Pilates workouts in her $24 million, three-bedroom Beverly Hills home.

However, many have accused Lizzo of jumping on the Ozempic bandwagon, as many celebrities who have struggled with their weight have shed pounds in recent years thanks to the trendy semaglutide injection for diabetes.

Lizzo (born Melissa Jefferson) attended the A-list bash with her elusive boyfriend Myke Wright, who she hadn’t been pictured with since last summer.

The About Damn Time singer also made a rare public appearance to present the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song to SZA on February 4, which took place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

On February 2, LASC Judge Mark H. Epstein ruled refused Lizzo’s motion to dismiss a sexual, religious and racial harassment lawsuit filed by three of her former backup dancers.

The Mandalorian guest star will now face Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez in a full jury trial at the Santa Monica Courthouse, on top of a similar lawsuit filed in September by her former tour costume designer Asha Daniels.

The 35-year-old rapper-singer-flatist was modeling her company’s “Nearly Naked Shaping Longsleeve Body,” worth $74.95

Lizzo captioned her Instagram: ‘Easy snatch-cess! This bodysuit is calling [your] name! [You] know you want. Our always *sold out* almost naked bodysuits are back baby! With new colours! Sizes 6X-XS! Buy them before they’re sold out (again)!’

Celine Dion gave a friendly thumbs up to onlookers during a rare sighting in New York City amid her battle with the rare condition Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS).

Making her way into a luxurious black SUV, the 55-year-old superstar, who has left her singing career due to her health problems, appeared in good spirits.

For her laid-back outing, the five-time Grammy winner wore a black jacket over a white blouse and leather leggings.

She completed her ensemble with a pair of black boots and honey blonde locks in a bun.

Celine, from Canada, was escorted by security as she stepped outside.

Making her way into a luxurious black SUV, the 55-year-old superstar, who has left her singing career in light of her health problems, appeared in good spirits

In December, Dion’s sister Claudette said the music artist no longer has “control over her muscles.”

A year after the My Heart Will Go On hitmaker had to cancel her world tour, her sibling, 74, suggested it could be a while before Celine returns to the stage.

Celine’s condition, which is progressive and incurable, causes the body to attack its own nerve cells, which seriously affects mobility.

‘She works hard, but she has no control over her muscles. What breaks my heart is that she has always been disciplined,” Claudette told 7 Jours.

‘She has always worked hard. Our mother always told her, ‘You’re going to do well, you’re going to do well,'” Dion’s sibling added.

She continued: “It is true that in our dreams as well as in hers, the goal is to return to the stage. In what capacity? Don’t know.’

Although research into the condition is ongoing, its rarity means progress has been slow.

Claudette added, “The vocal cords are muscles, and the heart is a muscle too. This is what’s coming for me. Because it is one case in a million, scientists have not done much research into it [doesn’t] affects so many people.’

Celine’s charity, Fondation Maman Dion, has been inundated with messages of support for the star.

Claudette said: ‘Some people have lost hope because it is a disease that is not well known. If you only knew how many calls the Foundation gets about Celine! People tell us they love her and are praying for her. She gets so many messages, presents and blessed crucifixes.”

Claudette previously revealed that despite working with “the best researchers in the field,” her sister has seen little improvement in her health.

She told Le Journal de Montreal: “We can’t find any medicine that works, but having hope is important.”

In October, Claudette said Celine was not yet dependent on a wheelchair to get around and was still planning to perform again.

Paris Hilton showed off every inch of her incredible figure in a sparkling pink minidress as she left the UTA Oscars pre-party in West Hollywood on Saturday.

The heiress showed off her endless pins in the striking dress and, in Parisian fashion, her name was written on her pink bag.

Paris wore large sunglasses with baby pink arms and dark pink heels as she left the event at Soho House.

She was flanked by bodyguards, all dressed in black, as she left the party in her glamorous look.

Paris carried a pen and was more than happy to sign autographs for the fans who surrounded her staff.

Her appearance at the party comes after Paris gave a cheeky flash of her bum during Madonna’s Celebration Tour in California on Thursday night.

The personality stunned in a tilted sparkly black hat and leather-look top, showing off a bit of her bum in her tiny outfit.

Also in attendance was recent Grammy winner Kylie Minogue, who wore a Madonna fan shirt and joined the Queen Of Pop on stage.

Kylie returned the favor, because in 2000, Madonna wore a black T-shirt with Kylie’s name on it.

In a fun turn of events, Kylie predicted the move earlier this year in an appearance on the Paris podcast.

Paris is married to Carter Reum and they share son Phoenix, 13 months, and daughter London, four months, who they have yet to reveal.

Carter, 43, is an entrepreneur and author worth $40 million and started dating Paris, worth $400 million, in 2019.

He is said to have abandoned his daughter Evie, 11, and his child with former actress Laura Bellizzi, since birth.
