Oprah Winfrey Apologizes For Promoting “Diet Culture”. (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Oprah Winfrey recently reflected on past mistakes that included promoting unsustainable weight loss methods during her time on her popular eponymous talk show. During a three-hour live WeightWatchers special for WeightWatchers on Thursday, May 9, Oprah acknowledged her complicity in promoting unsafe “diet culture” through her talk show and magazines.
The apology comes months after Oprah Winfrey revealed that she had lost 40 pounds using a weight-loss medication Ozempic despite previously calling it an “easy way out.”
In 2012, during an episode of “Oprah Daily’s The Life You Want: The State of Weight,” the talk show host shaded the celebrity weight loss trend Ozempic, saying, “If I take the drug, that’s the easy way out.”

Oprah Winfrey apologized for being a “major contributor” to America’s toxic diet culture. During an event hosted by Weight Watchers on Thursday, Winfrey took responsibility for promoting unhealthy weight loss methods and expressed regret for profiting from diet culture in her shows.
“I have been a steadfast participant in this diet culture. Through my platforms, through the magazine, through the talk show for 25 years and online . . . I’ve been a major contributor to it,” Winfrey stated. “I cannot tell you how many weight-loss shows and makeovers I have done, and they have been a staple since I’ve been working in television.”
“I’ve shared how that famous ‘wagon of fat’ moment on the Oprah show is one of my biggest regrets. It sent a message that starving yourself with a liquid diet, set a standard for people watching that I nor anybody else could uphold,” she said.

In celebration of International Mermaid Day (it’s a thing!), Disney Junior has released the first official teaser for Ariel, its upcoming series based on The Little Mermaid — and it features an iconic Disney villain like you’ve never seen her before.

The teaser includes a shot of Ariel and her friends taking part in Ursula’s “magic camp,” where she will presumably school them in witchcraft.

Amber Riley, who starred as Mercedes in “Glee,” revealed on the “And That’s What You Really Missed” podcast that she refused to film a sex scene with Chord Overstreet’s character Sam.
“I told [‘Glee’ co-creator] Brad [Falchuk], ‘Absolutely not,’” Riley shared with her former co-stars and podcast hosts Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale. “He gave me the blue pages or whatever. It was written. I said, ‘No.’”
Riley said there was a planned “full-blown” sex scene where Mercedes loses her virginity to her boyfriend, Sam. After Riley rejected the idea, Falchuk pitched a more toned down angle for the scene.
“He said, ‘Well what if we just, you know, have you guys hold hands and walk to the room and then like close the door,’” she said. “And I was just like, ‘No, I’m not doing it.’”
Riley continued, “I don’t tell y’all, no. I don’t fight on anything.

Amber Riley is revealing the reason she refused to film a sex scene with Chord Overstreet’s character Sam on Glee.
The actress shared on a recent episode of the And That’s What You Really Missed podcast that she turned down a planned scene where her character Mercedes lost her virginity to boyfriend Sam.
“I told [Glee co-creator] Brad [Falchuk], ‘Absolutely not,'” Riley recalled to her former co-stars and podcast hosts Jenna Ushkowitz and Kevin McHale. “He gave me the blue pages or whatever. It was written. I said, ‘No.'”
Riley explained that a “full-blown” sex scene was initially written, but when she rejected the idea, she said Falchuk attempted to pitch her another plan for the scene.
“He said, ‘Well what if we just, you know, have you guys hold hands and walk to the room and then like close the door,'” the Single Black Female actress said.

For Amber Riley, music is more than just her job — it’s her therapy.
The singer and actor is sharing her experiences with stress in support of the American Heart Association’s initiative to raise awareness about the impact that stress can have on physical and mental health.
“It’s important that people understand that your mental health can affect your physical. Mental health can also affect your heart too,” she shares in a video interview with Variety. “My stress really started to manifest itself habitually with insomnia – not sleeping, overthinking, not getting enough rest. When I was younger, it definitely manifested itself with eating, which I didn’t know. I didn’t understand why I was getting up at two in the morning, sneaking downstairs to get chips. It was just comfort-eating and not really being conscious of it.”

“Dancing with the Stars” premiered in 2005 with a focus on teaching celebrities some fancy footwork. But along the way the professional dancers who teach and partner with those celebrity amateurs became stars in their own right. Many of them returned to the show year after year, and over a dozen have won the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy over the course of the series. Scroll down to see every single “DWTS” pro champion, listed by their number of victories.
It’s fitting that the “DWTS” pros have become fan-favorites because they’re not just dancers. They’re also trainers, choreographers and storytellers, and their chemistry with the stars fuels the show’s best routines, so they’re truly the lifeblood of the competition, especially when they bring talent and charisma out of unexpected places, from child stars to race car drivers to one male model, Nyle Dimarco, who won the Mirror...

It’s hard to know how musicians will do on “DWTS.” Given their professional experience, they usually have a natural sense of rhythm and musicality, but they don’t always have prior dance experience, and they don’t always make it far in the competition. Sometimes they fall short like Spice Girls member Melanie C, “American Idol” champ Jordin Sparks and R&b star Tinashe, often because viewer voters let them down.

When actress Yvette Nicole Brown first heard that California Gov. Gavin Newsom had appointed Laphonza Butler to serve as U.S. Senator on Oct. 1, filling the seat left vacant following the death of longstanding Democratic senator Dianne Feinstein, her immediate thought was, “Of course.” Having been a part of the search committee that ushered in Butler’s historic appointment to president of EMILYs List in 2021, Brown has witnessed the newly minted politician’s leadership firsthand.
“She was instantly a rock star,” says the EMILYs List board member. “She was the first woman of color — Black woman — to lead EMILYs List. She was the first mother we ever had. That brought a whole other energy to what we were doing as an organization.
