Weight Loss: Ozempic, Mounjaro & Degovis: Hollywood’s Favorite Hunger Games

“Arianna Grande’s current condition is deeply concerning to me as a doctor. She’s become so extremely underweight that her body won’t be able to sustain this for long. And I don’t say that lightly. Living in such severe deficiency puts enormous stress on the organs. At some point, the body simply gives up. And she’s not alone. The Golden Globes were another showcase of the trend. Hollywood is celebrating a dangerous ideal. Thinner, weaker, more conformist. Ozempic, Munjaro and Degovis are the new hype.

But the price is high: emaciated bodies, no strength, long-term health damage.

Just look at Nicole Kidman. Her face may look youthful, but her body tells a different story. She now walks like a frail old woman, prematurely aged, as if she barely has any strength left. It shows that appearances mean nothing when the body suffers. I just don’t get it. Why must everything be thinner, more perfect, more uniform? Have we forgotten that true beauty comes from health, strength, and vitality? I warn you—don’t be fooled by this ideal. Beauty is not about flirting with death. Take care of yourselves.”

The Real Hunger Games: When GLP-1 is Your Breakfast

Welcome to Hollywood, where kale is a religion and vomiting is almost a hobby. The latest craze isn’t a new facial, but a syringe full of semaglutide or tirzepatide—known by their celebrity stage names: Ozempic, Munjaro, and the runway-diva Wegovy (Degovis in Europe, because we like it clinical). Once designed for diabetics, these GLP-1 agonists are now the unofficial cocktail at afterparties. Forget champagne—these days, the real toast is: “To slow gastric emptying and dramatic calorie restriction!”

Nicole, Arianna and the Rise of the Lollipop Heads

In the realm of celebrity mockery, America has many talents—but “lollipop head” takes the crown for underweight critique. Imagine: disproportionately large heads perched atop skeletal bodies, sashaying down the red carpet like survivors of a luxury famine. That’s not shade—it’s red-carpet reality. And Hollywood eats it up. Literally not at all.

What Science Says—Before it Gets Silenced by a Publicist

Semaglutide works by mimicking GLP-1, a gut hormone that tells your brain, “Hey, we’re full—stop eating.”1 In clinical studies, weight loss up to 15% of body weight is possible2—but it comes at a cost. Common side effects include nausea, muscle wasting, fatigue, gallstones, and in rare cases, pancreatitis3. But in Hollywood, where realism is only acceptable in movie scripts, nobody reads the footnotes—especially not the ones about gallbladder necrosis.


Muscles? Darling, That's for Athletes

One dark secret of GLP-1 weight loss is that up to 40% of the lost mass may be muscle4. That means those Pilates-toned limbs are hollow dreams—unless they’re fake too. And because most actresses treat protein like it’s radioactive, the result is less action hero, more marionette. Nicole Kidman doesn’t run in action scenes anymore. She floats—mostly from dizziness.

And While We’re At It: RIP Wolfgang Puck’s Business Model

Once upon a time, Wolfgang Puck fed the Oscars elite with truffle pizza and wagyu beef. Now? If Arianna Grande walked into Spago, she’d sniff the breadsticks, collapse, and sue for trauma. Beverly Hills, Las Vegas, Santa Monica—all under siege by celebrities who treat a pea as a cheat meal. Puck’s only hope? Rebrand as a GLP-1-friendly molecular gastronomy lab: serving hydrogen air and zero-calorie cucumber essence.

The Ugly Truth of Pretty Lies

We mortals envy fame, fortune, and flawless foreheads. But few would trade lives with a woman who eats ice cubes for dinner and has diarrhea from her diabetes drug. Hollywood doesn’t promote health—it parades pathology. Young actresses are told to drop weight “for the role.” That role? “Chronically Malnourished #3.” It’s not a joke. It’s the system. And it’s killing bodies that were never broken.

So, Who’s the Real Star?

The real hero isn’t the one with the size 0 jeans—it’s the one who dares to skip the injection and eat the damn sandwich. The one who lifts weights, not expectations. The one who says, “I’d rather be strong than photogenic.” Because the best Oscar-worthy performance? Surviving Hollywood with your organs intact.
