One of the things I like most about Bebe Rexha is her memorable, sometimes wacky red carpet style. She always serves up something flashy and funyoull never see her looking basic. Another thing I like about Bebe is that she talks about her struggles in an authentic way. She recently shared that one of the TikTok suggested searches is about her weight, which she said sucks but is understandable. In an interview with Gayle King she revealed that she?s been diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome, which has contributed to her weight gain. She also mentioned that she?s faced pressure to lose weight since the start of her career.
Bebe Rexha revealed that she recently learned that she has polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS.
During an appearance on Gayle Kings SiriusXM show Gayle King in the House, the 33-year-old singer opened up about her experience with PCOS ? a hormone imbalance that affects 1 in 10 women of childbearing age.
The condition can cause symptoms like irregular periods, excess hair growth, acne, weight gain and infertility.
I definitely struggle with my weight and I struggle with the way that I look, and its been tough for me. I just found out recently that I have PCOS and a lot of women have it. And a lot of women have it and dont know, Rexha said while noting that weight gain is a common symptom shes dealt with. Its tough. I think for me, Ive been definitely struggling with my weight and Ive been struggling with food forever.
She continued, I remember starting out and getting my first record deal, they kind of put it in my head and they said to me when I first got signed, Are you ready to get into bootcamp shape? Because you need to lose 20 lbs. in order to do this career. Like you have to lose weight.'

I feel for Bebe because it sounds like she?s faced both internal and external pressure to change how her body looks for several years. This is a familiar feeling for me personally, and most days I dont want to look at myself in the mirror at all. So many women feel this pressure to change their bodies to fit a thin ideal. Even if we dont get told ?you need to lose 20 lbs,? some research suggests that women in larger bodies are paid up to 10% less than their thinner peers. Its disappointing that someone as talented as Bebe could still be reduced to her appearance. But its not surprising. It must have been a crushing thing for Bebe to hear when she was starting out. What she needed as a budding singer and songwriter was support, not judgment. It?s also short-sighted and dumb for industry execs to try to make all their pop stars conform to a thin ideal.
Bebe?s story shows that so many factors influence a person?s weight. And not all of them are in our control. The causes of PCOS remain unknown, so getting effective treatment is often easier said than done. I like that Bebe is being so open about what shes going through and raising awareness about PCOS. Still, it sounds exasperating for her to deal with negativity about her body over and over. Bebe is currently headlining a tour around the US and I hope she feels the love from fans who come out to her shows. And I hope she continues to wear flashy, wacky outfits.

Over the weekend, one event got the biggest A-listers in attendance. Not the coronation the Miami Grand Prix, F1?s takeover in America. While Tom Cruise pretaped a little thing for King Charles?s coronation concert, Cruise showed up in person in Miami. Tons of celebrities and athletes were there, including tennis players like Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Roger Federer and Juan Martin del Potro. Ludacris was there, LL Cool J was there, Nick Jonas was there. Shakira was also there following her split from Gerard Pique, she has now moved permanently to Miami and she will raise her sons there. So she came out to enjoy some racing. Which is how Shakira ended up spending some time with Tom Cruise, and now we?re getting the obligatory rumors about how Cruise wants to date Shakira.
The race is on ? for single Shakira. After Tom Cruise and the ?Hips Don?t Lie? singer were photographed hanging out together at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Miami over the weekend, a source exclusively tells Page Six: ?He is extremely interested in pursuing her.?
?There is chemistry,? says the source.
Cruise, 60, is single and Shakira, 46, split from her longtime boyfriend Gerard Piqu, 36, last June amid allegations he was having an affair with his now-girlfriend, Clara Chia Marti.
?Shakira needs a soft pillow to fall on, and that could be Tom,? says our source ? adding that Cruise has the benefit of being, ?a nice-looking guy, and he is talented.?
The source also cracked, ?And she isn?t taller than him.? Cruise is 5-foot-7 while the pop star is 5-foot-2.
A source tells us that Cruise was so taken by the pop diva that he allegedly sent her flowers.
On Sunday, the ?Top Gun: Maverick? star and the Colombian chanteuse spent time together on the race?s starting grid and were seen chatting in a private hospitality suite.

So, I?ve been thinking about this and it actually makes sense from Tom?s side. He previously dated Penelope Cruz and Sofia Vergara, for goodness sake Shakira would definitely ?fit? with his ?type? of Spanish and South American girlfriends. Now, do I think this makes sense from Shakira?s side? No. She needs to have some peace and quiet before jumping into anything with a problematic dude like Cruise. Still, I bet it?s nice for Shakira to feel like men are still interested in her. I bet she liked flirting with him.
