Over the years, the following award-winning musician has gone through a remarkable transformation, which has sparked conversations online. Take a look at her journey, as she reflects on how the media once perceived her, especially concerning body image.

A well-known singer from the 2000s continues to amaze fans, not just with her powerful vocals but also with her stunning physical appearance. Her latest performances have ignited a wave of online discussions, with opinions varying widely about her current look.

The Hollywood star, considered one of the most successful Canadian artists, first captured the public’s attention with her trip-hop-inspired debut album, “Whoa, Nelly!” (2000).

This album achieved both critical and commercial success, producing two singles that soared into the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100: “I’m Like a Bird” and “Turn Off the Light.” The success of “I’m Like a Bird” even won her the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

However, along with her success came a series of difficult experiences. In a recent interview, the songwriter opened up about her early years in the music industry, shedding light on the struggles she faced during that time.

One of the most striking memories she shared from that era was extensive airbrushing. “I have olive skin, and they’d kind of lighten my skin a lot in photos, and kind of take my hips down all the time — they would always cut off in editorials,” the celebrity candidly revealed.

The experience became the inspiration for her song “Powerless,” featured on her 2003 sophomore album, “Folklore.” In the song, the artist sings about the alterations made to her image, expressing lines like, “Paint my face in your magazines / Make it look whiter than it seems / Paint me over with your dreams / Shove away my ethnicity.”

Of Portuguese descent, the songwriter, who has recently unveiled her seventh album, “7,” admitted, “By my second album, I guess I was kind of angry about it.”

Despite the challenges she faced, she looks back on her early fame with gratitude, feeling fortunate to have been shielded from the darker side of the entertainment industry that affected some of her peers.

The singer credits her strong, matriarchal family and the solid support of her team for providing her with a sense of assertiveness and guidance, which helped her navigate the music business successfully.

At one point, Nelly Furtado once stepped away from the limelight to focus on raising her children. She is now a mother of three: two daughters, including 21-year-old Nevis Gahunia, and a son.

After the birth of her two younger children, just 14 months apart, Furtado discovered she was living with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

While caring for her daughter, now 6, and son, 5, she recognized the symptoms in herself and was officially diagnosed. Furtado shares her two younger children, whose names remain private, with her ex, rapper Jerry (Gerard Damien Long).

The mother of three had lived with ADHD her entire life. However, it was the “chaos” of raising two young children close in age that ultimately led to her diagnosis.

She disclosed, “When I was attending college, [I was like] ‘Boing, boing, boing, boing.’ I’ve had it my whole life. But when I had my two youngest in close proximity, it made me very aware of my ADHD.”

Since her diagnosis, Furtado has become more mindful, often reflecting on how to stay grounded amidst daily distractions. Exercise, especially dancing, has been key to her routine. She finds that time in the dance studio helps keep her ADHD in check and brings her focus.

With the release of her new album, her first in seven years, the doting mom has returned to the spotlight. Her recent live performances have sparked conversations about her appearance, with some praising her beauty while others focused on her physique.

Some Facebook users complimented the music star with one commenting, “What a beautiful woman,” while another added, “She actually looks a whole better than what she looked like in 2006 [sic] thicker more voluptuous body after having kids. Perfect I love it.”

Meanwhile, one person defended Furtado’s physical appearance, expressing, “So, she gained some weight. So, what! She still looks gorgeous. This obsession with weight is ridiculous.” “She looks better with the curves,” echoed another individual. More users from X (formerly known as Twitter) compared Furtado’s look from back in the day.

“Nelly Furtado so [expletive] thick,” remarked one X user. Another observed, “She was skinny when she was younger…BUT NOT NOW!” Someone else shared a similar view, “She used to be slim back in the day.”

Nelly Furtado’s reemergence into the limelight has ignited conversations around her music and appearance, reflecting the multifaceted nature of fame. Despite the chatter, she remains focused on her journey, inspiring many with her resilience and growth as an artist.

How Did Quincy Jones’ Children React to His Death? — Their Tributes

Quincy Jones died on November 3, 2024, at his home in Bel-Air, Los Angeles, leaving behind seven children. In the days following his passing, his grieving children took to social media to honor their father.

Quincy’s death was announced in a statement shared by his representative, Arnold Robinson. However, the cause of death was not disclosed. The composer died aged 91.

His family wrote a touching statement, “Tonight, with full but broken hearts, we must share the news of our father and brother Quincy Jones’ passing. And although this is an incredible loss for our family, we celebrate the great life that he lived and know there will never be another like him.”

The family also expressed deep admiration and gratitude, reflecting on the unique legacy Quincy leaves behind. They shared how his boundless love and joyful spirit defined him and found a way to resonate across the globe through his creative contributions.

This brings them comfort and pride in this time of loss. “Through his music and his boundless love, Quincy Jones’ heart will beat for eternity,” they added.

Aside from the statement, some of Quincy’s kids have also paid tribute to him on social media. He was a father to Jolie Jones Levine, Rachel Jones, Martina Jones, Quincy Jones III, Kidada Jones, Rashida Jones, and Kenya-Kinski Jones.

Jolie shared a tribute to her late father by reposting an Instagram story originally shared by composer Raphael Eligoulachvili on his Instagram stories. The story featured an embedded post from Quincy celebrating Jolie’s birthday.

The nostalgic post showed a young Jolie seated at a piano with her father leaning over, guiding her as she played. Quincy’s message read, “Happiest of all birthdays to my 1st born baby, @jolieannejones! Love U always & forever honey. Here’s to all the b-e-a-utiful memories we’ve made & will continue to make together!…xxoo…ALL my ❤️.”

In her repost, Jolie added a simple and touching message, “🙏 Quincy 🤍🕊️,” expressing her love for her late father.

Jones III, who is the legendary singer’s fourth child, also paid tribute to his father. He shared a heartfelt Instagram post with a photo of the two together, honoring his father’s memory following his passing. Jones III captioned the post, ” 🤲🏾💜🤲🏾🕊️.”

Jones III also reposted two posts on his Instagram stories. One was a video shared by Nicole Avant, showing Clarence Avant and Quincy sharing a playful moment of laughter as they reminisced. Clarence was a manager, entrepreneur, facilitator, and adviser, who helped launch and guide Quincy’s career.

Nicole, who is the daughter of the late Clarence, wrote an emotional tribute to accompany the post, “Best Friends. Soulmates. I just know Clarence greeted you with some ice cubes and a glass of Petrus 🥂🙏🏽”

Another post that Jones III shared in his Instagram stories was from Culture Machine, a broadcasting and media production company. The post featured a video of Quincy passionately discussing the transcendent power of music.

Culture Machine captioned it, “Quincy Jones always understood that music transcends the senses — it’s a force that comes from the heavens and echoes through time. His melodies touched our souls and will continue to shape the rhythm of the universe. Rest in power, Quincy.”

Just as his kids have shown their adoration for their father, Quincy also always showered his children with love. He shared this sentiment right up until his passing. Just hours before he died, on November 2, 2024, he posted a heartfelt tribute to his daughter Martina on her birthday.

How Did Ben Affleck and Jennifer Gerner’s Son Samuel Look Like in Recent Outing?

On November 1, 2024, Ben Affleck was seen out in Los Angeles on a shopping trip with his son, Samuel Affleck. Netizens who viewed images and footage of the 12-year-old boy had plenty to say.

Paparazzi captured photos and videos of Ben bonding with his son, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. The pair were filmed while walking, at one point with the actor’s arm around his son’s shoulders, during a shopping trip at BAPE, an upscale boutique. Images also showed close-ups of Samuel after he and his father visited another store.

One social media user who saw some of the images focused on Samuel’s looks, saying, “Isn’t Samuel is the most good looking male star kid😍😍😍😍 [sic].” Another person commented, “Lil Sam he’s so cute 🥰.”

Focusing on the father-son duo, a third Instagram user remarked, “They are so cute👨‍👦❤️.” A YouTube user described the outing as “Father and son time,” while another person, touched by Ben’s bonding gesture, called him “[A] great actor and father.”

Commenting on the actor’s appearance, another YouTuber described him as “handsome Ben.” Yet, another viewer remarked, “He seems to be seething with anger.” Laughing, one Instagram user noted, “Paparazzi get on ben [sic] nerves.”

Another individual observed, “He looks frustrated as usual.” On X, someone shared images of the actor inside the BAPE store in Melrose, where he and Samuel were seen browsing the clothing racks.

For the outing, the “Batman” star wore a cream-colored button-up shirt, black jeans, and complementary Nike sneakers. His sneakers, the Air Jordan 1 Retro Low OG Zion Williamson Voodoo, cost over $430. He also sported a full beard.

Samuel matched his father in a white Nike Sportswear Club men’s T-shirt, priced at around $30. He paired it with blue jeans and completed his look with $1,727 Nike x Travis Scott SB Dunk Low sneakers.

Besides Samuel, Ben is also a parent to his eldest, Violet, and middle child, Fin, with Jennifer. In July 2023, like her younger brother, Violet spent time shopping in the Hamptons with her father and his now ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez.

What Illness Was Queen Camilla Diagnosed With?

Buckingham Palace announced that Queen Camilla, 77, has a chest infection.

According to the BBC, Camilla’s diagnosis led her to cancel engagements on November 7, 2024, including her planned appearance at the Field of Remembrance at Westminster Abbey, where the Duchess of Gloucester represented her.

It was also reported that Camilla will miss an evening reception at Buckingham Palace for Olympic and Paralympic athletes, which King Charles III will now host alone.

On doctors’ advice, Camilla will rest at home. However, she still aims to attend special events over the weekend, including Saturday’s Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall and Sunday’s Cenotaph service in Whitehall.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer extended well-wishes for her “speedy recovery” for the Queen.

Many royal supporters sent their well-wishes, with one writing, “That’s very bad news … I’m sorry Her Majesty Queen Camilla is unwell. I wish her comfort, peace, rest, recovery & may she receive excellent medical care & treatment for what’s ailing her. God bless her! 🤕😷🤧🤢❤️‍🩹✝️🙏 [sic]”

Another supporter simply said, “I pray she has a speedy recovery. 🙏”

Some questioned whether the King and Queen were fit to lead, “Charles and her need to step down. Their health issues prevent them from doing their duties. Queen Elizabeth knew what she was doing when she held out as long as she did! 😂 it was her plan all along for Charles and this woman to be in power as little time as possible. I love it [sic]!”

Another stated, “She’s elderly. I’d say the trip wore her out, probably Charles too.”

More royal supporters continued to wish Camilla a swift recovery, while others offered prayers for her healing.

Several noted her dedication to royal duties, especially during Charles’s recent absences.

Others suggested that Camilla may be exhausted from managing both her and Charles’s appointments while he undergoes treatment.

Another fan expressed sympathy for the demands of her role, noting that she has been working very hard, which could be overwhelming at her age.

Amid mixed reactions from netizens, the Palace shared that Camilla’s condition appears minor, possibly due to recent long-haul travels with Charles.

In October, the couple visited Australia and Samoa, where Camilla shared candid moments with the public

When the couple visited St. Thomas’s Anglican Church in Sydney, Camilla took selfies with the crowd — a move that caught the attention of many.

How Does Adam Lambert Look Like Now after His 60-lb Weight Loss?

Powerhouse performer Adam Lambert, 42, recently left mouths agape after he was spotted out in New York City donning a striking blue suit that accentuated his slim figure. The Hollywood star, who has opened up about his weight loss journey, sparked a wave of online commentary from people who saw photos of his appearance.

Lambert, who dazzled in a chic blazer, formal pants, a long-sleeved blue top, black platform shoes, and stylish sunglasses, headed to the “Today” show to discuss his Broadway run in “Cabaret.”

In addition to online images, the “If I Had You” artist posted a short TikTok clip of his appearance on the show. Lambert’s video, which featured a playful narration explaining the events of his day, displayed him entering the studio, touching up his makeup, speaking with the co-hosts, and autographing one of the walls inside the venue.

Upon seeing the media of the “American Idol” alum, netizens wasted no time in flooding social media comment sections with praise for his appearance. “He looks fabulous. 😍,” swooned a fan, while another gushed, “He’s looking good!”

Compliments continued with comments like, “Adam you look amazing and so happy ❤️🥰,” and “Can we just take a minute to appreciate your beautiful face? We need skin care routines and tutorials please! Stunning! [sic]”

Many also made direct references to Lambert’s weight. “he got thin looking good 🥰🥰🥰 [sic],” commended a fan. Another admirer opined, “Thin, good hair colour. Look nice [sic].”

However, not all the weight comments were positive, as some asserted their beliefs that the “For Your Entertainment” singer did not lose weight through natural remedies.

“Mounjaro is in the house! Hooray!!!” remarked a facetious Facebooker. Similarly, another netizen echoed, “#ozempic I hardly recognized him!” “Stop the Ozempic man! You’re developing the Skelator face 💀,” urged an Instagrammer.

Earlier this year (2024), Lambert went on Instagram Live, where he divulged details about his weight journey, which included a confession concerning how he lost weight.

“I’m dropping some tea on you guys right now. I’ve been on Mounjaro for the last uhm, I think, what, eight months,” disclosed the musician.

He then went on to reveal that he lost almost 60 lbs, adding, “I feel amazing! I feel — I still eat, but I eat lighter, and I eat less.”

Lambert also shared how his blood sugar level was very close to being the same as someone with Diabetes before he started using weight loss medication.

Why Was Taylor Swift Criticized for Her Hair?

Pop icon Taylor Swift turned heads with her appearance at the recent game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 4. Although the singer looked stylish while supporting her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce, her dark-colored tresses prompted criticism online.

Stepping into Arrowhead Stadium ready for the riveting football game, the “Love Story” singer donned an eye-catching ensemble. She wore a black fitted top with high-waisted shorts and a Chiefs bomber jacket with red and yellow accents.

Complementing her look, the powerhouse performer sported knee-high Christian Louboutin boots and carried a small black handbag.

Finishing the ensemble, she accessorized with a gold necklace, adorned her face with bold red lipstick, and left her voluminous hair, which showcased her fringe, in loose curls.

Upon seeing photos of Taylor at the game, netizens wasted no time in asserting their opinions about her appearance, especially when it came to her hair. “Swifties! Is her hair always this full or are extensions in play here?” pondered a curious Instagrammer.

Others opted to be direct in expressing their dislike for Taylor’s locks, with one person opining, “Her hair is so outdated.” “Taylor Swift hair always look dirty [sic],” remarked someone on X.

On the other hand, one observer expressed a specific wish, “I really want her to cut her hair, frame it and dye it blonde. Anyone else?” “Why is Taylor Swift wearing a wig at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Kansas City Chiefs football game?” questioned someone else.

Disagreeing with the critical comments, one Swiftie praised, “taylor’s at the chiefs game and i’m just like…her hair is so perfect every damn day [sic].” However, other people made negative remarks regarding the musician’s choice of ensemble.

“She doesn’t even dress appropriate [sic] for a football game. She dresses like she’s going to the club,” commented a spectator, while another added, “Who dresses like that going to a game? It’s so inappropriate and it doesn’t look good. Maybe someone should tell her.”

Diverting their attention to Taylor’s physical appearance, a social media user wrote, “Who cares looks like she put on about 30 pounds.”

Before attending the football game, the “Don’t Blame Me” singer took to Instagram to share a beautiful post about reaching the end of “The Eras Tour” US shows. This comes after she completed her concerts in Indianapolis where Travis was reportedly seen dancing with Taylor’s mom in the VIP tent at one of the shows.

KCAL News Anchor Chauncy Glover Died “Way Too Young” at 39 — How His Loved Ones Mourned His Passing

Chauncy Glover died unexpectedly on November 5, 2024, at the age of 39. Fans of the KCAL News anchor are mourning his passing, with many sharing their heartfelt reactions to the tragic news.

Glover started working at KCAL in October 2023 until his time of passing. He began his professional journalism career with WTVM News in Columbus, Georgia, but his passion for the field ignited much earlier.

At just five years old, his father built him a mini anchor desk, and Glover would perform newscasts for his family every Sunday after church in their hometown of Athens, Alabama.

For Glover, journalism went beyond simply reporting the news as he referred to it as his “calling.” He viewed his role as an opportunity to use his platform for positive change, using storytelling and community involvement to make a meaningful impact.

Over the years, he worked in various states, including Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Texas, before joining KCAL in California. At KCAL, Glover co-anchored the 5 and 11 p.m. newscasts alongside Pat Harvey and also shared the desk with Suzie Suh for the 8 and 10 p.m. broadcasts.

Now, the people whose lives he impacted with his work as a journalist are mourning him and sending their love to his family.

One online user shared their grief, “Very very sad. So young. 🙏🙏🙏to his entire family.” Another expressed shock at the loss, “My Lord, 39, so young! What happened? Condolences to his family and friends!”

Many fans remarked on the untimely passing, “Gone too soon🕊️,” with another concurring, “Another talented young man has gone too soon. May He rest in peace.” One fan reflected on the abrupt loss, “I’m in absolute shock. Chauncey was young and only at the beginning of his career.”

Others remembered how vibrant he was, “Chauncey was an outstanding anchor… Loved his personality and fun spirit on the news. My deepest condolences to his family and friends. May his memory be a blessing.”

A fan also shared how much Glover’s presence meant, “So very sad. Way too young. I enjoyed watching him nightly.” Devasted fans were left reeling, like this one, “This is so shocking. I watched him last week and now he’s gone at a young age. RIP CHAUNCY GLOVER. My condolences to KCAL 9 families.”

Another viewer spoke of their deep sense of loss, “So sad, I really liked seeing him on the 8:00 p.m. broadcast. He will be truly missed. My condolences to his family, friends and coworkers.”

As much as Glover discovered his passion for journalism at a young age, his dedication to the communities he served was always at the heart of his work. He did this through his impactful storytelling and his community outreach efforts.

The journalist launched a mentorship initiative during his time at WDIV in Detroit. The inspiration came after he witnessed a young life lost on the streets. This led him to establish “The Chauncy Glover Project” (CGP).

When Julia and Helga’s father passed away, Helga fought their mother, Mrs. Hanson, for the inheritance. She said some horrible things, and Julie and Mrs. Hanson came up with a shocking plan to teach her a huge lesson.

“HOW DARE YOU?” Helga screamed at her mother, Mrs. Hanson, over the phone. Julia heard the entire thing from the kitchen, even though her mother was using the telephone in the living room and it wasn’t on speakerphone. Julia’s sister was angry that her mother had decided her will.

She would leave Helga 30% of the estate, while Julia would receive everything else. It wasn’t an equal division, but Mrs. Hanson felt that Julia deserved the money more than Helga because they had a better relationship. Helga and her husband had always been greedy and selfish, visiting or calling them only when they wanted something.

But the older woman was being generous. At first, Helga would not receive anything due to how she spoke to her mother. However, they recently had a set of twin babies at a relatively old age, as Helga was 47 and her husband was 51. Therefore, Mrs. Hanson decided to give her something. Unfortunately, Helga was not happy about it.

“Helga, please don’t yell,” Mrs. Hanson told her daughter on the phone and watched as Julia approached. She decided to put the call on speakerphone from then on.

“I knew you would see reason, Julia. Our mother was so obstinate.”

“MOTHER! You can’t just give everything to Julia! She doesn’t even have children. Don’t you care about the twins? They deserve their share of the money!” Helga exclaimed, not knowing that Julia was listening.

“Helga, it doesn’t matter whether Julia has kids or not. She sacrificed so much of her life to take care of your father and me, whereas you didn’t. Also, you’re married. You have a support system. On the other hand, this is my money, and I get to decide who receives it,” Mrs. Hanson reasoned. But this wasn’t the answer Helga wanted.

“I DON’T CARE WHAT JULIA HAS DONE! YOU KNOW WHAT? I CAN’T WAIT FOR YOU TO DIE, AND I’LL SUE FOR MY SHARE! GOODBYE!” Helga screamed spitefully and ended the call abruptly.

Mrs. Hanson placed her forehead on her hand and breathed deeply. Julia was finally angry, but she couldn’t show it. She couldn’t believe her sister would say something so horrible to their mother.

“Mom, she’s just angry. She didn’t mean that,” lied Julia to console her mother, but Mrs. Hanson knew the truth. Helga meant it and would fight tooth and nail for a more significant share in the will. Luckily, their lawyer in Washington D.C. told them that as long as Helga received something, she wouldn’t be able to contest it.

Over the next few months, Helga called several times to persuade Mrs. Hanson to change her will. These conversations always ended in huge fights that took a serious toll on the older woman, and Julia became even angrier at her sister.

Finally, their mother died, and Helga made a scene at the funeral, pretending to be in so much distress over her passing. Fortunately, most relatives knew her real character, although they didn’t know how awful she had been during the last few months of Mrs. Hanson’s life.

After the funeral, Helga started calling Julia about the money. They both received their share, but it seemed like her sister was now going to be nasty to Julia until she complied and gave her some more money.

Finally, Julia came up with a plan. During one phone call, she revealed her idea to Helga. “Ok, listen. I want to move to New York, so I’m going to sell Mom’s house for good. I’ll give you 50% of the sale, although the house is in my name. Does this seem fair?” she asked her sister.

“Oh, that’s fantastic, Julia! Thank you! I knew you would see reason. Our mother was so obstinate. You’re the best aunt to the twins ever. I swear this is all for their future,” Helga gushed over the phone. Julia didn’t know if she was genuinely planning on putting the money towards her children, but it didn’t matter because Julia was lying.

The sale of the house went quickly because it was located in a pretty great area of the capital, and there were tons of buyers. Helga was salivating at the idea of receiving half of the house sale. Julia thought she didn’t deserve it at all.

“Ok, I’m going to place your part of the money in a bank account, and I’ll send you the details later. Is that alright?” Julia asked her sister when they had coffee right before she left for New York.

“Of course! Of course! Though, I’m going to miss you so much!” Helga said with a smile that Julia didn’t trust at all.

“Cool, well, goodbye,” Julia replied, standing up and giving her sister the most awkward hug in the world. But Helga placed all her acting chops on the embrace, pretending like she was indeed going to miss her sister.

A week after Julia left the state, she finally sent her sister the details to the safety deposit box.

“Your sister couldn’t just wire the money to our account?” Helga’s husband asked, thinking this procedure odd.

“She’s an idiot. You know that. I’ll go to the bank right now and check things out,” Helga responded, smiling cattily.

But at the bank, she was taken to the safety deposit box and saw three $1 bills inside it. “That’s all?” she asked aloud and finally noticed the note inside next to the bills. It read: “That’s all you deserve.”

Helga’s screams and cries were heard through the entire bank that day. But Julia had blocked her, and they never saw each other again.
