MAKING REPAIRS
Last month, Barbra Streisand broke her silence after facing backlash for asking Melissa if she had come out to Ozempic on Instagram.
The Way We Were singer cleared the air with a statement directed at Melissa on X, formally Twitter.
Barbra, 82, wrote: “I went on Instagram to see the photos we posted of the beautiful flowers I received for my birthday!”
She explained: “Below them was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy, who I sang with on my encore album.
“She looked fantastic!”
Barbra continued, “I just wanted to compliment you. I forgot the world is reading!”
Melissa made it clear there are no hard feelings when she told a photographer, “I think Barbra is a treasure and I love her,” after being asked about the comment on Instagram, as reported by TMZ.
The Funny Girl star shocked fans after leaving an allegedly insensitive comment on Melissa’s social media post.

Barbra asked the Identity Thief star about her weight loss methods after the comedian showed off her slimmer figure on social media.
She commented on Melissa’s Instagram photo that showed the Bridesmaids actress with Hairspray director Adam Shankman, 59, at a gala held in honor of director/choreographer Matthew Bourne by the Center Theater Group.
Melissa wore a tight light green dress with a ruffled skirt.
In the comments section, Barbra asked Melissa about her weight loss methods.
“Give him my regards, have you taken Ozempic?” Barbra asked in a now-deleted comment.
Fans responded to Barbra’s comment and criticized her for allegedly being discourteous to Melissa.
Everything you need to know about Ozempic
Ozempic appears to be a trend in Hollywood, with several celebrities turning to it to lose weight quickly.
Weight loss medications are a hot topic in the media right now, with hundreds of success stories sharing how they helped them lose weight.
In March 2023, the NHS announced that it would make Wegovy, a medicine made by Danish company Novo Nordisk, available on prescription to thousands of obese Britons.
It contains the drug semaglutide, which has reportedly helped reality TV star Kim Kardashian and Twitter boss Elon Musk lose weight.
Wegovy, which helped a third of people reduce weight by 20% in trials, is now available in leading pharmacies.
How do they work?
The medications work by suppressing your appetite, causing you to eat fewer calories and therefore lose weight.
To do this, an ingredient found in the anti-fat medicine known as Semaglutide mimics the role of a natural hormone called GLP-1.
GLP-1 is part of the signaling pathway that tells your body that you have eaten and prepares it to use energy from food.
London doctor and founder of wellgoodwellbeing. withZoe Watson, said: “Your body naturally produces an appetite-regulating hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1.
“These injections work by regulating your appetite, which can lead to eating fewer calories and weight loss.”
Aren’t they diabetes medications?
Semaglutide, the active medication in Wegovy, was originally sold under the name Ozempic specifically for patients with diabetes.
But they began to notice that it helped suppress their appetite, stopping them from eating as much and helping them lose weight.
So Novo Nordisk developed Wegovy, which contains the same chemical but in higher doses, specifically to help with weight loss.
Wegovy is not prescribed for patients with diabetes.
Can I get them?
Wegovy is offered as a prescription to obese adults for weight loss treatment.
The NHS also currently offers a similar medicine called Saxenda, or liraglutide.
Both are only available in Level 3 and Level 4 weight management services, which means you should be referred to specialist-led weight management clinics.
General practitioners also cannot prescribe them themselves, Dr. Watson said.
Vaccinations should be taken as part of an overall program to help with lifestyle changes and psychological support to get the best effect from the prescribed medication.
But despite being approved for use, the supply of Wegovy on the NHS has been delayed indefinitely due to a surge in global demand.
Supply also fell by half in the US due to soaring demand.
Are there risks?
Like all medicines, vaccines have no side effects.
About half of people taking the medicine experience intestinal problems, including nausea, bloating, acid reflux, constipation and diarrhea.
Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical consultant at patient.info, said: “One of the more unusual side effects is severe acute pancreatitis, which is extremely painful and happens to one in 500 people.”
Other uncommon side effects include altered taste, kidney problems, allergic reactions, thyroid tumors, gallbladder problems, and hypoglycemia.
What other options are there?
Mounjaro (trade name for tirzepatide) also hit the market in early 2024.
Like Wegovy, tirzepatide is derived from a medication originally developed to treat diabetes.
The weekly injection helped overweight people lose more than two kilos in 18 months.
It is available on order with an online prescription from pharmacies including Superdrug and LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor.
It works similarly to Wegovy and Saxenda, but is more effective.
Dr. Mitra Dutt of Lloyds Pharmacy says: “Based on clinical trials, 96% of people were able to lose more than 5% of their body fat using Mounjaro. In similar trials, 84% of people lost more than 5% of their body weight on Wegovy and 60% on Saxenda.
“Mounjaro works by activating two hormone receptors (GIP and GLP-1), which increase insulin production, improve insulin sensitivity and act to decrease food intake.”
Many considered the Guity singer to be rude, with one asking her how “audacious” she was.
“That’s a rude question,” wrote another follower
“What is Barbra? It’s none of your business,” added a third.
A fourth person charged, “Rude, Barbra.”
WEIGHT LOSS SECRETS
Since March, the Spy star has shown off her weight loss transformation in Instagram videos and photos.
On a revealing 2015 interview with CBS This Morning, Melissa talked about how she lost weight.
In it, she admitted to changing her mental attitude and lifestyle.
“I finally said to myself, ‘Oh, for God’s sake, stop worrying about this, and it might be the best thing I’ve ever done,’” Melissa revealed.
“I really stopped worrying about my weight.”
“I stopped overanalyzing, overthinking, overdoing anything…I just stopped constantly worrying about it,” she added.
Melissa concluded, “And I think there’s something about relaxing and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, strangely enough, it worked.”
