Boy George no longer has the body type of an older, overweight man. The singer Tweeted a photo of his slimmed-down figure over the weekend, alerting fans to the secrets behind his weight loss success. “Portion control,” Boy George wrote. “5 hour gaps between meals. No coffee or tea, except at meals. Water & fizzy water between meals! No bread, sugar!” Sounds simple enough. Allow THG to point readers to healthy recipes , such as this tomato soup recipe , in order for you to make like this Boy wonder. Good luck!
Billy McKnight, Mindy McCready’s ex, says what a lot of folks are probably, tragically thinking – that he’s not really surprised she committed suicide. “As sad as it is, it didn’t come as a major shock,” McKnight told the Today show Monday in the aftermath of Sunday’s Mindy McCready death . “She’s just been battling demons for so long,” he added. “I was around her when she attempted suicide twice, so I knew that this was in her.” Cleburne County, Ark., sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of gunshots Sunday and discovered McCready dead of an apparent suicide . The troubled country singer and mother of two was found dead on the front porch of her Heber Springs house. She was only 37 years old. Neighbors reportedly had heard two shots, and the deputies found dead both McCready’s dog and the singer herself deceased at the scene. McCready had struggled with myriad substance abuse issues for years. “The demons that she hasn’t beaten were there,” Billy McKnight said. Last month’s death of her fiance David Wilson, which is currently under investigation as either a suicide or a murder, was the latest warning sign. The courts ordered McCready to be institutionalized. Asked if she might’ve been released too early, McKnight, who shared a son with Mindy, said he knew she could talk her way out of anything . “I feel for her mother, her family and especially my son,” said McKnight, whose boy, Zander, was the subject of a bitter, prolonged custody battle. After Wilson’s death, Zander and his 10-month-old half-brother, Zayne, whose dad was Wilson, were placed in foster care, where they remain. McKnight said that he wants his son back now. “He needs to come home,” he said, though all bets are off as far as her younger son is concerned. “I don’t know what is going to happen to Zayne.” A sad, sad situation all the way around.
Harry Styles has spoken out for the first time since his split from Taylor Swift . During a radio interview with London’s Capital FM yesterday, the One Direction member was asked how he’s been handling himself since his recent breakup with the country music superstar. “I’m okay, thank you for asking,” Styles replied. “I’m good.” Swift appeared to diss Styles in her Grammy performance of “We Are Never Getting Back Together,” using a British accent at one point. But Harry didn’t take this bait when the subject was broached. “She’s a great performer and she always performs great,” Styles said. “She’s always good on the stage. She’s been doing it a long time. She knows what she’s doing on stage. It was just another good Taylor Swift performance. It was good.” Styles and friends spent Valentine’s Day partying it up with women at Leeds University, sources say, having ” fun, drinking and chatting ,” according to Us Weekly insiders. Does he understand why folks are so interested in his personal life? Yes “I get it,” Styles says. “If someone does stuff like that then I wanna know about it, too… It is what it is, I guess.” Well said.
I’ve never seen any of Rihanna’s performances, why would I really, but if these pictures are any indication of what she’s doing on stage I may have to buy myself a ticket or two. How much is that going to run me? Forget it, I’m far too cheap for that kind of thing, I can buy a lot of booze with that money. Anyhow, here she is showing off her cute little booty during some show the other day. Take away all the singing, throw in a stripper pole and some dollar bills and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this show many many times before.
Leave it to Lil Mama, whoever that is, to try to close out the already-strange 2009 MTV Video Music Awards with one of the oddest moments of the night. While it wasn’t as ridiculous or rude as Kanye West’s hijacking of Taylor Swift’s speech, the spectacle of Lil Mama climbing up on stage for no reason during Jay-Z and Alicia Keys’ VMA performance last night was still hilariously weird. For nearly five minutes, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys were performing “Empire State of Mind,” a number that was to close the always-memorable MTV award show.
