The talk show legend opened up about her influence in the weight loss industry during a 3-hour live special for WeightWatchers this week -- and she owned the fact that she'd been feeding into this unhealthy trend for quite literally years.

Oprah says ... "I want to acknowledge that 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."

Jelly Roll is feeling better than ever after finishing his first 5K, and he's already considering his next race ... TMZ has learned.

Lo que sorprendió a todo el mundo fue cómo el corsé acentuaba su diminuta cintura, algo que la mayoría no está acostumbrado a ver. Kim es conocida por su voluptuosa figura.

Kim Kardashian knows how to make an entrance ... but her appearance at Monday's Met Gala was a shocker ... not over something she said, but because of her teensy-weensy waist!

KK strolled into the fashion world's biggest night at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC -- and had all heads turning as she flaunted her shimmering strapless Maison Margiela gown with her midsection wrapped in a corset.

What stunned everyone was how the corset accentuated her itty-bitty waist, which most people are not used to seeing. KK is well known for her full, voluptuous frame.

Richard Simmons seems to be poking his head out from where he's been hiding for about a decade now -- 'cause he just let the world hear his voice anew ... and he hasn't changed.

The legendary fitness instructor threw up an audio clip Monday to his personal YouTube page -- and while he normally posts dance remixes and other throwback clips of himself ... on this particular occasion, he decided he wanted the world to hear from him directly.

The drama between Melissa McCarthy and Barbra Streisand over an Ozempic question ain't over yet ... 'cause Richard Simmons is now weighing on the matter.

In a Facebook post Tuesday night, the legendary exercise guru threw his full support behind Melissa while calling out Barbra for asking the slimmed-down McCarthy if she was taking the weight loss drug.

Richard started by writing, "I love Melissa McCarthy…. I have seen every one of her movies."

Melissa McCarthy is making it clear there is no beef between herself and Barbra Streisand after the latter's Ozempic ask -- and Barb herself is also issuing an apology over it.

After Babs caught some heat for asking if Melissa had shed some pounds thanks to the weight loss drug ... a photog caught up with the actress on the street in L.A. Tuesday -- where she said she still has love for the superstar.

MMC made it clear it was NBD at all saying ... "I think Barbra is a treasure and I love her." She even waved off the photog's question on whether she thought Barbra was out of line.

Melissa McCarthy está dejando claro que no hay ningún problema entre ella y Barbra Streisand luego de que la cantante le preguntara si ha estado tomando Ozempic, y la propia Barb está compartiendo una disculpa por su comentario.

Después de que Babs recibiera algunas críticas por consultar si Melissa había perdido algunos kilos gracias al medicamento, un fotógrafo se encontró con la actriz en la calle en Los Ángeles el martes, donde le dijo que aún adora a la superestrella.

Melissa dejó claro que no era un gran tema diciendo: "Creo que Barbra es un tesoro y la amo". Incluso se desentendió de la pregunta que le hizo el fotógrafo sobre si pensaba que Barbra se había pasado de la raya.

Barbra Streisand is catching a lot of heat on social media after questioning whether Melissa McCarthy used Ozempic to achieve her recent look.

It all started Sunday ... Melissa – who has long struggled with weight issues – posted a photo of her slimmer self with friend and film director, Adam Shankman, as they attended the Centre Theatre Group Gala in L.A.

As you can see, Melissa looked terrific in her light green dress with a matching blazer alongside the stylish Shankman. She captioned the image with a combined message of going to the event with Shankman and getting closer to her dream of dancing onstage.

Ciara is trying to drop major poundage after having her fourth baby -- and she's not afraid to show off the progress along the way ... including how much she weighs right now.

The singer posted a photo dump Thursday, which was basically just an update on her life. It included lots of different shots -- including her looking good in a car, her working out, her in the studio, her posing with famous pals, playing pickleball and her with her kids.

There was one photo in there, though, that caught the attention of fans ... it was a picture of a scale with a number on it, which seems to reflect Ciara's current weight.

Jelly Roll might be country's hottest artist right now, but he's still dealing with online bullying ... and his wife, Bunnie XO, says it finally pushed him to a breaking point.

The model came to her husband's defense during an episode of her "Dumb Blonde" podcast, explaining Jelly Roll took a step back from the Internet due to constant criticism about his weight.

She said ... "My husband got off the Internet because he is so tired of being bullied about his f***ing weight, and that makes me want to cry, because he is the sweetest angel baby."

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.

Ryan Garcia's three pounds overweight, but his pockets are certainly lighter on Friday -- the boxing star just shelled out $1.5 MILLION to Devin Haney after fulfilling his weigh-in bet.

Garcia placed the wager during the final press conference for their April 20th fight ... saying he would cough up $500K for every pound he's over the junior welterweight limit of 140.

Haney, (31-0) and Garcia (24-1), shook on it ... and even though Ry looked confident, his team was clearly concerned.

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.
