Scarlett Moffatt And 8 Other Amazing Celebrity Transformations

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll be fully aware of Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt’s amazing transformation.

The TV star, who recently won I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, has shed over three stone in the space of about six months and is now looking remarkably trim.

The 26-year-old – who has released a fitness DVD to help others shift the pounds – said she is amazed at her post-weight loss physique, and has even seen her FEET slim down.

She told the MailOnline: “I’ve dropped a shoe size and grown an inch. Can you believe that I’ve lost weight off my feet? It’s funny when I look at old Gogglebox shows now, all I can see is these big feet.”

Scarlett has lost a total of three stone and four pounds in recent months, shedding an impressive seven and a half pounds in the first week in 2016 when kick-starting her fitness and diet regime.

During a recent appearance on ITV’s This Morning, Scarlett revealed how being told by her doctor that she was obese caused her drastic lifestyle overhaul. #FonMba

Another number worth mentioning: the petite star has gone from a size 18 to a size EIGHT.

She’s been making sure to show off her new figure on social media in recent weeks in order to help others feel inspired.

But she’s not the only star to have achieved their weight loss goals: check out these nine other personalities who have undergone massive transformations…

1. Khloe Kardashian.

Khloe, once known as “the fat one” in the Kardashian family, has done a complete 180 and is now possibly one of the fittest celebrities out there.

The 32-year-old reality TV star has dropped around 40lb over the last year or so, following the breakdown of her relationship with Lamar Odom.

It’s all down to a strict healthy diet and gruelling exercise regime with the help of celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson… and she looks incredible.

Khloe calls her enviable new physique her “revenge body”, a term she has now turned into a TV show of the same name, in which she mentors people wishing to lose weight after break-ups.

2. John Goodman.

The Hollywood star, 64, has lost over 100lb – just over 7 stone – in recent years due to cutting out the booze and working out regularly.

In an interview with ABC last year, he said: “I just stopped eating all the time.

John Goodman

“I’d have a handful of food and it’d go to my mouth. I was just eating all the time. I was just eating alcoholically. In the old days, I would take three months out, lose 60 or 70 pounds, and then reward myself with a six-pack of bud or whatever and just go back to my old habits.

“Then this time I wanted to do it slowly, move, exercise. I’m getting to the age where I can’t afford to sit still anymore. And it gives me the energy to work, ’cause work is very draining.”

3. Lisa Riley.

Former Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley has lost a whopping 10 stone in weight, and she is literally half the woman she was before.

The 40-year-old TV favourite is now around 11 stone after tipping the scales at 21 stone, and feels better than ever, although she recently said she is battling with her reflection due to excess skin.

She attributes her weight loss to smaller portions, cutting carbs and alcohol and exercising regularly, and is a huge fan of Zumba classes.

4. Jennifer Hudson.

Jennifer used popular diet plan Weight Watchers – which she later became the face of – to lose weight several years ago.

The singer and Oscar-winning actress – who is now a coach on The Voice UK – lost an amazing 80lb and dropped five dress sizes in the space of four years while on the regime, which requires people to count food points in order to reach a healthy weight.

In 2014, Jennifer, 35, parted ways with the brand but described the partnership as “life changing”.

She said: “I am grateful for what I have learned throughout the process and will always take it with me.”

5. Christina Aguilera.

Christina, 36, rose to fame in the late 1990s and was always slim, but in recent years she has seen her weight fluctuate several times.

However, in 2013, the pop princess is reported to have shed up to 35lb and then lost weight again after the 2014 birth of her second child, daughter Summer Rain.

At the time, she shunned rumours of weight loss surgery and said her slim figure was down to a low carb diet consisting of lean proteins and healthy snacks.

6. Sam Smith.

Singer Sam, 24, stunned everyone when he dropped weight super-fast over a year ago. His transformation was mainly down to “not eating like a pig anymore” but he also credited Eat. Nourish. Glow. author Amelia Freer with his overhaul.

Nutritionist Amelia helped the Oscar-winner shed 14lb in just 14 days back in 2015 with her healthy eating regime, which she says is down to how you approach food mentally rather than counting calories.

Two years on, the slimline singer has kept the weight off and looks as good as ever.

7. Melissa McCarthy.

Bridesmaids actress Melissa, 46, revealed her impressive weight loss a couple of years ago – around 75lb in total (over FIVE stone!) – was down to stopping putting so much focus on it. It’s as simple as that.

The Hollywood favourite said, in a 2015 interview with CBS: “I truly stopped worrying about it.

“I stopped over-analysing, over-thinking, over-doing anything.

“I kinda went back to when I was pregnant and I just stopped constantly being worried about it and I think there’s something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked. I could’ve figured that out before 44, but whatever.”

8. Chloe Madeley.

Chloe, the daughter of former This Morning duo Richard and Judy, has long been documenting her fantastic physical overhaul.

The 29-year-old reality star was never overweight, but she has completely transformed herself into a health and fitness behemoth on social media and frequently shows off her impeccable abs, biceps and hamstrings to her 130,000 Instagram followers.

Celebrity Hairstylist Found Butchered At Home

Fabio Sementilli

Fabio Sementilli was beaten and butchered to death by two people who bypassed a large gate to enter his posh Woodland Hills home, CBSLA reported on Tuesday.

Sementelli’s wife and daughter discovered the bloody corpse, which had stab wounds to the face, neck and chest, sprawled across the back patio at 5 p.m. Monday, the TV station said.

The unidentified attackers sped away in Sementelli’s black 2008 Porsche 911 Carrera with paper license plates.

Detectives were trying to determine if Sementelli, 49, was targeted, or the victim of a random burglary.

The always smiling Sementelli was known affectionately as “Big Daddy” by the many budding hair stylists he mentored.

Over the years, he owned several salons in LA, and was the “key stylist” on Hollywood productions, including “Angel Eyes” with Jennifer Lopez, “Cinderella Man” with Russell Crowe and “Knock Around Guys” with John Malkovich and Vin Diesel.

Family and friends were seen paying their respects at the home of the popular hair stylist on Tuesday.

Eden Sassoon, the daughter of Vidal Sassoon and the star of Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, described Sementelli as “a man that truly cared. Excuse my French, he gave a (expletive). It made a difference.”

“To lose your father, your husband, your son to a crime like that, my heart truly just goes out to them. I don’t know. I can’t imagine,” Sassoon said, choking up. “It’s a huge loss for them, a huge loss. I don’t know when and if in their lifetime those shoes can be filled. He really stood out. When you say his name, you smile.”

The anti-Trump celebrity PSA that will change everything

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Hilarious.

You’ve heard the old adage, that doing the same thing repeatedly but expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

Apparently, celebrities don’t think it applies to them.

As reported by The Hill: “A slew of high-profile stars — including Sally Field, former ‘The View’ co-host Rosie Perez, ‘Westworld’s‘ Jeffrey Wright, Keegan-Michael Key and ‘Boardwalk Empire’ actor Steve Buscemi — are calling on Congress to ‘vigorously oppose’ any of President-elect Donald Trump’s ‘racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, anti-worker, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic, anti-environmental policies.’”

Because this has worked so well in the past.

Anti-Trump celebrities such as Martin Sheen appeared in a public service announcement pleading with electors in the Electoral College to not cast their vote for Mr. Trump. Ironically, Hillary Clinton had more Electoral College defectors than did Mr. Trump.

MTV News last month released a video that offered New Year’s resolutions to “white guys” featuring actors that said Blue Lives Matters “wasn’t a thing,” and put down conservative outlets such as Fox News.
The video went viral for all the wrong reasons. Some Twitter users accused MTV News of casual racism and the targeting of white men.
According to The Hill, the new PSA — which asks supporters to stand up to Mr. Trump by signing a MoveOn.org petition to be sent to members of Congress — was created by the social media campaign Humanity for Progress, formerly known as the pro-Hillary Clinton group, Humanity for Hillary.
Celebrities can sell cars and soda, but one thing this election cycle has proven is that they can’t sell their ideology.
This frustrates them. So rather than accept their limited reach, the PSAs will continue, in the hopes that something changes.
These celebrities have gone insane.

George Michael Dies At 53: Celebrities And Fans Reaction To The Death Of A True Icon Of Music

One of the first to react to George Michael's death was, Comedy legend Ricky Gervais with a simple tweet: "Unbelievable. RIP George Michael" while Elton John added: "I have lost a beloved friend"

It was all for Comic Relief. James Corden has made his name for himself across the Atlantic with his now patented 'car pool karaoke' where he takes famous stars on a sing-a-long and belt out a few tunes.
But his very first attempt came in 2011 for Comic Relief - and it involved George Michael, who tragically died today of heart failure.

Five years ago in the humorous sketch Corden took a call from comic legend Lenny Henry when he was driving around the streets of London.
At first not recognizing the Comic Relief stalwart, Corden realized who he was when Henry said he was from "from the Travelodge adverts".
Legendary singer George Michael died "peacefully" on Christmas Day aged just 53, his publicist has announced.
The police and ambulance service were called to his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire just before 2pm.

The sad news was broken in a short statement issued at 11pm by Michael Lippman, which said: "It is with great sadness that we can confirm our beloved son, brother and friend George passed away peacefully at home over the Christmas period.

"The family would ask that their privacy be respected at this difficult and emotional time. There will be no further comment at this stage."
Mr Lippman later revealed George was found "in bed, lying peacefully" and that he is understood to have died of heart failure.

He told Billboard that the exact time of death is not clear at this time, but there was "no foul play whatsoever".

17 Really Bad Habits You Need to Get Rid Of in 2017

Do you know how most people really want to become a celebrity in 2017?

Finally take control of your destiny by deleting the negative habits that have been dragging you down

Many of you will resolve to start a new positive habit in 2017. Adding good habits can be fun, but unfortunately (most of the time), they don't work. Approximately 38% of Americans will make resolutions, and only 8% will succeed.

Instead of adding a new diet or workout regime, let's remove the negative habits that have been holding you back.

Here we go:

1. Kill your habit of checking social media during the workday.

Social Media platforms are masters at making you stay there. Getting lost in Facebook can be fun, but it's counterproductive during the day -- especially while you're trying to build that presentation for your investors.

Now that we're on the subject, turn off the notifications on your phone too. You can check your Snaps on your break.

2. Kill your habit of thinking it's all about you.

Your frowning boss isn't conspiring to fire you, as much as the cashier isn't giggling about your tie. They're thinking about themselves, and their own problems. Not you. I promise.

It's not about you. So cut it out. Run on that assumption when dealing with every human interaction in your life, and you'll be much happier.

3. Kill your habit of multi-tasking.

Science tells us that only 2% of us can really multi-task. So don't try. Try this instead: When attempting to get something off your "to-do" list, shut down every browser and APP on your screen except for the one you need.

Otherwise, you'll get notifications for LinkedIn requests to Facebook Live posts, to Tweets. A never-ending stream of distraction. So shut down everything except the program you need, and finally get things done.

4. Kill your habit of comparing yourself to everyone.

You will never win this game. There will always be someone smarter, better looking, richer and (seemingly) happier. Always. Focus on yourself, your mindset, your health, the state of your being, and you'll win.

5. Kill your habit of complaining.

It's just not worth it. Be aware of the words that come out of your mouth. They affect you and the people around you.

Speak of good things, and more good things happen. Speak of negative things, and more negative things happen. Simple.

6. Kill your habit of wasting time with negative people.

If they don't love and support you, get rid of them. You don't have to shout, kick and scream. Just stop being available to them. They won't notice. They're too self-centered to care.

7. Kill your habit of taking or organizing long and unnecessary meetings.

Less meeting means more doing. We're all adults. Take the meeting, do what you need to do, and go and do it. You can still be social, and have fun, and succeed in making meetings more efficient.

Try this in your next meeting. Set an agenda. As you run through the agenda go around the room and have everyone share:

1. What they're working on.
2. What they've completed.
3. What they need to complete what they're still working on.

It works, I promise. You'll shave 1/2 hour off your meeting time.

8. Kill your habit of saying "yes."

You may think you don't have enough time. You do. You just spend your time doing the wrong things.

Stop saying "yes" to everything. Embrace "no." Love "no." No is your word for 2017. Love it, live it, and use it.

9. Kill your habit of self-loathing thoughts & beliefs.

Enough is enough. You are good at what you do. You have it in you. If you can't silence that voice in your head, begin a regiment of meditation. If you need some quick wins to feel good about yourself, write three things you want to change this year. Right now. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Congratulations, you took the first step. Feel that little endorphin release in your brain? That's what you're looking for. Keep doing that, and you'll break that habit and create a new one. A habit where you actually get things done. Go --- do things.

10. Kill your habit of sitting.

Get off your backside. Run, exercise, move. But stop sitting. Oh, and get a standing desk while you're at it.

11. Kill your habit of underachieving.

You're better than this. You have more in you, and you're not getting any younger. Start that business. Resign from that horrible job. Do it now. The only thing stopping you is you. Not your family, not your bank account.

12. Kill your habit of bragging about your resolutions before they happen.

Your brain thinks you've accomplished them when you announce them to the world. Stop that. This TED talk helps to explain the phenomenon.

13. Kill your habit of creating excuses.

While you're at it, kill the habit of creating reasons. They're just excuses with lipstick on.

14. Kill your habit of reality TV/celebrity gossip etc.

You're an adult; this shouldn't be a part of your entertainment. It's junk food for your brain. Feels great at first, but there is always a negative mental consequence.

15. Kill your habit of obsessing over dooms-day scenarios.

It's good to have some healthy skepticism, but pessimists don't change the world, motivate people, or come up with innovative ideas. They only bring the people around them down.

16. Kill your habit of obsessing over things outside of your control.

Focus your time, energy and resources on improving yourself. You can control everything you put in your body, think about and do. Master yourself and become ruler of your universe.

17. Kill your habit of making sure everything has to be perfect.

It ain't happening. Ever. This is just a complicated form of procrastination. Which is a deeper manifestation of your fear. Get out of your own way, and let it rip.

Celebrity – It’s The Smiling Face Of The Corporate Machine

Our failure to understand the link between fame and big business made the rise of Trump inevitable.

Now that a reality TV star is preparing to become president of the United States, can we agree that celebrity culture is more than just harmless fun – that it might, in fact, be an essential component of the systems that govern our lives?

The rise of celebrity culture did not happen by itself. It has long been cultivated by advertisers, marketers and the media. And it has a function. The more distant and impersonal corporations become, the more they rely on other people’s faces to connect them to their customers.

Corporation means body; capital means head. But corporate capital has neither head nor body. It is hard for people to attach themselves to a homogenized franchise owned by a hedge fund whose corporate identity consists of a filing cabinet in Panama City. So the machine needs a mask. It must wear the face of someone we see as often as we see our next-door neighbors. It is pointless to ask what Kim Kardashian does to earn her living: her role is to exist in our minds. By playing our virtual neighbor, she induces a click of recognition on behalf of whatever grey monolith sits behind her this week.

An obsession with celebrity does not lie quietly beside the other things we value; it takes their place. A study published in the journal Cyberpsychology reveals that an extraordinary shift appears to have taken place between 1997 and 2007 in the US. In 1997, the dominant values (as judged by an adult audience) expressed by the shows most popular among nine- to 11 year-olds were community feeling, followed by benevolence. Fame came 15th out of the 16 values tested. By 2007, when shows such as Hannah Montana prevailed, fame came first, followed by achievement, image, popularity and financial success. Community feeling had fallen to 11th, benevolence to 12th.

A paper in the International Journal of Cultural Studies found that, among the people it surveyed in the UK, those who follow celebrity gossip most closely are three times less likely than people interested in other forms of news to be involved in local organisations, and half as likely to volunteer. Virtual neighbours replace real ones.

The blander and more homogenised the product, the more distinctive the mask it needs to wear. This is why Iggy Pop was used to promote motor insurance and Benicio del Toro is used to sell Heineken. The role of such people is to suggest that there is something more exciting behind the logo than office blocks and spreadsheets. They transfer their edginess to the company they represent. As soon they take the cheque that buys their identity, they become as processed and meaningless as the item they are promoting.

A database search by the anthropologist Grant McCracken reveals that in the US actors received 17% of the cultural attention accorded to famous people between 1900 and 1910: slightly less than physicists, chemists and biologists combined. Film directors received 6% and writers 11%. Between 1900 and 1950, actors had 24% of the coverage, and writers 9%. By 2010, actors accounted for 37% (over four times the attention natural scientists received), while the proportion allocated to both film directors and writers fell to 3%.

This helps to explain the mass delusion among young people that they have a reasonable chance of becoming famous. A survey of 16-year-olds in the UK revealed that 54% of them intend to become celebrities.

As soon as celebrities forget their allotted role, the hounds of hell are let loose upon them. Lily Allen was the media’s darling when she was advertising John Lewis. Gary Lineker couldn’t put a foot wrong when he stuck to selling junk food to children. But when they expressed sympathy for refugees, they were torn to shreds. When you take the corporate shilling, you are supposed to stop thinking for yourself.

Celebrity has a second major role: as a weapon of mass distraction. The survey published in the IJCS I mentioned earlier also reveals that people who are the most interested in celebrity are the least engaged in politics, the least likely to protest and the least likely to vote. This appears to shatter the media’s frequent, self-justifying claim that celebrities connect us to public life.

The survey found that people fixated by celebrity watch the news on average as much as others do, but they appear to exist in a state of permanent diversion. If you want people to remain quiescent and unengaged, show them the faces of Taylor Swift, Shia LaBeouf and Cara Delevingne several times a day.

In Trump we see a perfect fusion of the two main uses of celebrity culture: corporate personification and mass distraction. His celebrity became a mask for his own chaotic, outsourced and unscrupulous business empire. His public image was the perfect inversion of everything he and his companies represent. As presenter of the US version of The Apprentice, this spoilt heir to humongous wealth became the face of enterprise and social mobility. During the presidential elections, his noisy persona distracted people from the intellectual void behind the mask, a void now filled by more lucid representatives of global capital.

Celebrities might inhabit your life, but they are not your friends. Regardless of the intentions of those on whom it is bequeathed, celebrity is the lieutenant of exploitation. Let’s turn our neighbors back into our neighbors, and turn our backs on those who impersonate them.
