Bebe Rexha tells Variety magazine that it's completely natural to feel jealousy. "It’s natural and even healthy to be jealous as long as you can you understand where it’s coming from and then you don’t let it overtake you. Because women are kind of taught to be competitive with each other. When I was in my early 20s, it was always a competition — do or die. Now if I see a girl and think, “Wow, I wish I had her body; I’m a little jealous,” I’ll say, “She looks fire,” and try to focus on myself. I’m doing my best to be healthy and happy on every level, from eating healthy to working out to showing myself some real self-love."

Sam Smith tells PaperMag.com that he keeps getting kicked off of dating sites. “I did Tinder once; I think I got chucked off of Tinder. I got chucked off of Hinge because they thought that I wasn’t me. That's the biggest problem with being famous. No one believes you're you on these sites. I'm just trying to find love like everyone else!”

Meghan Trainor tells NPR.org that she has insecurities just like everyone else. People say to me "You had a baby, everything's perfect. You're writing music and you're so confident, you love your body. How do you do it all?" And I'm like, "Oh, you've misunderstood." I feel like a hypocrite, I'm none of those things. I'm accomplishing a lot, but I have my bad days just like everyone else. Sometimes I just want to cry in a hole and I want someone to take care of me."

Pink tells Perez Hilton that she went to a wellness retreat in Spain in order to lose weight. “I was probably a bit depressed from all of the loss, and I couldn’t lose weight to save my life. I would work out three hours a day, eat clean, and my metabolism was a dud — I couldn’t get anything started. And I was like, ‘I’m exhausted, I’m sad, I haven’t been away from my family for three years — not even overnight. And I just need a minute.'”

Radar Online says the co-hosts on ''The View'' are allegedly getting annoyed with Whoopi Goldberg's flatulence. A source tells the website, “It’s been an issue for a while. The ladies will be talking about a serious subject on air when, poof, they hear a sudden noise and they’re assailed by a foul smell. It always seems to come from Whoopi’s end of the table, although she refuses to acknowledge she dealt it!. It is all the junk Whoopi eats. She’s already got a timid stomach and is lactose intolerant, by her own admission, so people wonder why she’s eating chips and salsa in the morning. When Whoopi lets it rip, nobody can stop her! This is a desperate situation, but no one knows how to handle it!”

Salma Hayek is married to one of the world's wealthiest men. Francois Pinault is the head of Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. Salma tells the Daily Express Newspaper that she did not marry for money. ''Francois is very supportive and saw things in me that I never even saw in myself. I didn't marry my husband for money.''

Salma adds that her wedding was more like an intervention. ''I didn’t even know I was getting married that day. It was like an intervention. I don’t think I ever told this story. No, they just took me to the court. My parents, my brother, they were all ganging up on me. I had a phobia of the marriage thing. The reason it was a courthouse wedding was because they dragged me there. I was nervous. And then after, there was a lunch at his parents’ house. My mother-in-law, who’s the most tasteful person when it comes to entertaining, had already been doing the lunch. I had no choice.''

He said, “That sounds like something a psychiatrist would say, not a casual observer. No. I don’t have a social anxiety disorder. I have an abhorrence of boring situations. I was shy when I first went onstage — I wasn’t shy, I was terrified. My knees would shake so badly, you could see it from the back of the theater. But that’s not social anxiety. That’s being unfamiliar with the territory. I was able to talk myself through that and then enjoy the experience of being onstage and telling a story with collaborators”

Rob Gronkowski tells The Athletic that he may join Tom Brady in the broadcast booth in the Fall of 2024. “That’s definitely a possibility for sure, being with Tom for so long and now we’re going to be at Fox together. There really hasn’t been any plans or anything or any talks about it, but that definitely could be a possibility. We could banter back and forth in some way, somehow, maybe do a couple promos together or whatever it is. That will be down the road. Time will have to tell with that.”

Dear Fonseca

I go to the gym five days a week. I finally got my friend from work to go with me. The scene freaked her out. She noticed that men were staring at me. She called them creepers. I told her I wasn't creeped out at all and think that the staring is a compliment. She laughed and disagreed. She says the guys are undressing me with their eyes. I told her I look at that as a compliment because of the hard work I've put in at the gym. She says it's insulting and degrading in a silent way. We clearly don't see eye-to-eye on this. What do you think about guys staring at women at the gym? Is it a compliment or creepy?
