Music has saved my life, says Lizzo
Lizzo's music has helped her to navigate depression. The 37-year-old singer admits that making music helped her to overcome some of the darkest and most depressing moments in her life. Asked about her experience of dealing with depression, Lizzo told Rolling Stone: "My relationship with music was still very intense. "I still am like, 'Music saved my life,' because there were really dark moments when I was working on Love in Real Life, my album, where I was like, 'Okay, I don't think I can make it through the day, but I have to go to the studio." Lizzo actually wrote a lot of songs that haven't made the final cut of Love in Real Life. However, the creative process still proved to be a cathartic experience for Lizzo. The singer recalled thinking: "That felt good to say, but you can't put that out." Lizzo used to agonise over her lyrics because she feared offending fans. But the singer is now much more comfortable with who she is and how she thinks. She explained: "I said, 'I will never ever, ever, ever, ever be a side chick' in the original [of Truth Hurts]. And then I was like, 'Mm, but what if I offend side chicks?' And so I was like, 'I will never ever, ever, ever, ever be your side chick.' "I always overthink these things because I know who's consuming my music and I'm very [concerned about] how they're going to feel, how it's going to affect them. "But it's like — to keep it very, very funky with you — everybody's offended by everything today, so it's impossible to not offend somebody. So it's like, just say what you want to say. Just say whatever you want to say." Meanwhile, Lizzo previously explained that fame and success didn't do anything to ease her anxiety and depression. The chart-topping star told Variety in 2022: "People become famous, and it's like — my DNA didn't change. "Nothing changed about me. My anxiety didn't go away. My depression didn't go away. The things that I love didn't go away. I'm still myself. But the way y'all look at me and perceive me has changed. It's a very weird, kind of formless thing."

RESIDENT ALIEN Recap: (S04E04) Truth Hurts
Resident Alien Season 4 Episode 4, 'Truth Hurts,' sees Harry endure the pains of love as a product of telling the truth. As it turns out, navigating a relationship with an alien and your alien babies is pretty damn hard when you're human. The outing is a bit slower, but it fleshes out our core character dynamics and, at least for Kate, plants the narrative seeds for what's to come. Plus, Alan Tudyk and Edi Patterson are comedic perfection together. RELATED: Read our recap of the previous Resident Alien episode, 'Ties That Bind' Resident Alien, 'Truth Hurts' We open with a flashback to 20 years ago, at the Hawthorne house. Young Ben is hosting a rager. D'arcy, who was recently away from town doing her skiing thang, confesses that she likes Ben. Not 'likes' him — like likes him. They kiss. Suddenly, Judy stumbles out of the front door while attempting to drag a keg. The cops are on their way to bust the party. Aw, nuts. In the present day, Harry (Tudyk) reckons with being the father of more children. Heather (Patterson) is in her Blue Avian form. Harry's attraction to her in this form has waned significantly to … nonexistent. She nonchalantly informs him that she killed the Mantid. His corpse is outside. Heather offers some of his guts to Harry, which Harry politely declines. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Truth Hurts' Season 4 Episode 4 — Pictured: Alan Tudyk as Harry Vanderspeigle — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Being Human Is Romantic Then, Harry proposes that Heather return to her human form while they're together. It could be romantic. Sure, she'll only have one vagina, but if it's what Harry wants… RELATED: TV Review: Resident Alien Season 4 Later, Asta (Sara Tomko) and D'arcy (Alice Wetterlund) chat with Kayla (Sarah Podemski) at the diner. She's now up to date on all the alien madness, including Heather slaughtering the Mantid. Kayla's irritated that Asta has left her out of the loop for so long. She almost spills the alien secret to Jay (Kaylayla Raine), who's working a shift at the diner. Side note: Where's everyone's favorite dad, Dan? I demand to see him. Anyway, D'arcy reveals they're heading to Harry's cabin to bury the Mantid. They invite Kayla to join them, but she opts out. As it turns out, burying alien corpses isn't on her bucket list. Meanwhile, Mike (Corey Reynolds) describes the Mantid to Liv (Elizabeth Bowen) in intricate detail as she sketches the (now dead) creature. Liv captures his likeness so well, even though she doesn't quite understand the physicality of one who catches their roommate wearing their favorite jeans. Metal Sasquatch Liv asks Mike if he's talked to Lena yet about an alien being behind the murders. He's working his way up to it. Then, our dynamic duo learns about a strange 'sasquatch' sighting in the woods. Mike tells Liv to ensure Peter, our resident cyborg Terminator, remains hidden from the general public. RELATED: 10 Out-of-This-World Predictions for Resident Alien Season 4 Then, Asta and D'arcy pay Harry a visit. They meet his bird alien kiddos. After Heather emerges from the bedroom, Bridget tries to consume one of said bird alien kiddos. Thankfully, Harry pulls the child out before they become part of the contents of Bridget's stomach. Harry literally kicks Bridget out the door, which made me laugh louder than it should have. What a good dad. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Truth Hurts' Season 4 Episode 4 — Pictured: (l-r) Alice Wetterlund as D'Arcy Bloom, Sara Tomko as Asta Twelvetrees — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) After this, Asta and D'arcy watch in horror as Heather 'breastfeeds' by vomiting what looks like a green smoothie into a bag. Yum. Harry appears unwell. When it seems like Harry might disclose his human status to Heather, the two engage in foreplay instead. They put on a show for D'arcy and Asta. Patterson and Tudyk are hilariously electric together. So funny. Deep Hole Judy Later, Asta and D'arcy enlist the aid of Judy (Jenna Lamia), who's apparently an expert gravedigger from her time working in the cemetery. 'Deep Hole Judy,' they called her. Deep Hole Judy sings a merry tune while she digs. (She doesn't know who's going in the hole, though.) RELATED: All Is Not Well in Patience in Resident Alien Season 4 Trailer At the same time, Ben (Levi Fiehler) and Kate (Meredith Garretson) both guess how D'arcy is involved with the aliens. Kate suspects she is an alien, while Ben proposes she was abducted. Kate pivots, wondering if the Greys kidnapped D'arcy's baby while she was pregnant. They decide to approach D'arcy about it, while treading carefully, of course. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Truth Hurts' Season 4 Episode 4 — Pictured: (l-r) Nicola Correia-Damude as Detective Lena Torres, Corey Reynolds as Sheriff Mike Thompson — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Elsewhere, Mike and Lena (Nicola Correia-Damude) go on a walk. Mike finally divulges his truth — he believes in aliens. Not only that, but he saw an alien feasting on a deer in the woods. He describes the Mantid to Lena. She's incredulous. So, a praying mantis-type alien is behind all the murders? This drives a wedge between Mike and Lena (understandably so). Have You Watched Any Documentaries Lately? Later, Asta and D'arcy prepare to bury the Mantid after Judy dug a perfect hole with startlingly accurate dimensions. Judy has a gift. The following day, Ben and Kate meander into The 59. They try to casually — and subtly — address the alien-shaped elephant in the room. Kate claims she and Ben watched an alien documentary the other day about a race of aliens who abducted babies from their mothers' wombs. Does this resonate with D'arcy? RELATED: New TV Shows This Week (June 22 – 28) Ben reminds D'arcy about when she told him he'd been abducted by aliens. At one point, D'arcy pretends to be offended by what the Hawthornes are telling her. She excuses herself to 'get some air.' However, she's secretly panicking because Kate and Ben are clearly aware of Daisy's existence. Meanwhile, Asta finds Harry in his office with her coat. Being human sucks; he's perpetually cold. Asta learns that Harry hasn't told Heather yet about losing his alien energy. She encourages him to tell her the truth. Relationships are about honesty and transparency. She also calls Harry out on referring 90 percent of his patients to the other doctor while keeping his therapy sessions open. Harry admits it's tough having to contend with a puny human brain. Truth Hurts and Heals Then, D'arcy pops by with a revelation: Ben and Kate know their baby, well, exists. Harry reveals Kate opened up about her child during a hypnosis session. D'arcy believes they should tell the Hawthornes about Daisy. However, Asta and Harry push back, claiming the Greys will ultimately abduct the child again when they take Kate. This doesn't sit well with D'arcy. RELATED: The Premise and How Star Trek Fans Created Fanfic as We Know It Elsewhere, Liv and John (Trevor Carroll) set up a camera at the spot where Mike saw the Mantid in the woods. Liv is admittedly envious that everyone is seeing aliens but her. She still can't believe John saw the Loch Ness Monster. (Love this Nessie confirmation on Resident Alien .) RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Truth Hurts' Season 4 Episode 4 — Pictured: Elizabeth Bowen as Deputy Liv Baker — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Later, Heather surprises Harry with dinner. Harry finally bares his soul to Heather — he's fully human now. The Greys stole his alien energy. Heather is accepting of this. In fact, she proposes to Harry, calling him the love of her life. Harry admits something else: He doesn't find her Blue Avian form attractive anymore. Heather's fine with remaining a human, if that makes him happy. He Said Yes Harry says yes to the proposal. Huzzah! They embrace, and Heather confesses that it'll be tricky navigating the familial waters, since her parents are quite racist against humans, but they'll make it work. After this, the pair dives into potential colors for their wedding. Heather's maid of honor will be her sister, while Harry names Asta his best man. Aw. I love their friendship. RELATED: Read our SurrealEstate recaps Suddenly, Heather's father arrives. He ain't happy about his baby girl marrying a human. He attacks Harry. Elsewhere, D'arcy is closing up the pub when Ben slips in to confront her. He realizes D'arcy might not have felt comfortable disclosing her truth to Kate, but he and Darce go waaay back. She can tell him the truth. Is there anything about aliens that Ben should know? Particularly related to his multiple abductions? D'arcy's face changes, but she remains resolute. She doesn't divulge Daisy's location. Ben asks her again. It's clear he knows she's withholding something. Ugh, I wish D'arcy knew that Ben and Kate removed their chips. After Ben departs, D'arcy calls Judy, in need of a drinking buddy. As it turns out, Judy has been in the bar this whole time. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Truth Hurts' Season 4 Episode 4 — Pictured: Corey Reynolds as Sheriff Mike Thompson — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) Break It Off After this, Harry and Heather have a heart-to-heart. Well, this is following her dad's violent confrontation with Harry. Harry believes Heather deserves to be her true self with someone who loves her. She shouldn't have to hide her alien form just because Harry finds it repulsive. Heather doesn't want to part ways, but she understands. She asks Harry to recite his favorite poem in the language of his people one last time. It tugs at the heartstrings with its series of screeches and moans. RELATED: Revival : Check Out 9 First-Look Photos From Melanie Scrofano-Led Series The following day, Mike and Lena mend fences. She might not understand his belief in aliens, but she loves him anyway. Yes, they both say the l-word to each other. Awww. Mike advises Lena to exercise caution while delving into this murder investigation. Aliens are not to be trifled with. After Heather and the babies leave, Asta comforts Harry. He's experiencing his first heartbreak as a full-fledged human — one with a dairy allergy. He wonders if he'll always feel this way. Asta reassures him that it gets better. I love these two so much. RESIDENT ALIEN — 'Truth Hurts' Season 4 Episode 4 — Pictured: (l-r) Meredith Garretson as Kate Hawthorne, Milania Kerr as Cookie Girl — (Photo by: James Dittiger/USA Network) We're Everywhere Meanwhile, Kate and Max (Judah Prehn) emerge from a clothing store. Max tells his mom he plans to get ice cream with Sahar. They embrace before going their separate ways. Kate decides to purchase Girl Scout Cookies from a local troop. RELATED: Geek Girl Authority Crush of the Week: Asta Twelvetrees One girl hands Kate the chip she removed from her neck courtesy of the Greys. The Greys possess the girl as she informs Kate that they'll always find her. She can't hide from the Greys. They're everywhere.

Lizzo Revealed The Secret To Her "Weight Release" Journey After Constant Speculation
There's no point in stressing out over speculation and rumors regarding Lizzo — she's an open book. On a June 19 episode of the Just Trish podcast, Lizzo admitted that she tried Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs, which are used to regulate type 2 diabetes and obesity, at one point in her "weight release" journey. Over the years, the "Truth Hurts" singer has been rather forthcoming with her fitness journey, documenting it on social media and sharing her progress with her fanbase. "I tried everything," she told Trisha Paytas. "Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same item." Related: Law Roach Just Dropped Some Important Info About Zendaya And Tom Holland's Wedding, And Some Of You Aren't Going To Like This… In the podcast, Lizzo shut down critics of Ozempic and GLP-1 drugs, noting that people are not "cheating" by using the products. "It's not easy," Lizzo said. "It's a drug to help somebody with something they're struggling with. I think people... it's their way of being fat phobic when you're telling someone they're cheating." "They tell people they're cheating by getting that weight loss surgery. I heard about that weight loss surgery. That shit sounds very hard actually. A lot people felt like they almost died on the table, and they got so sick after getting the weight loss surgery. That shits not easy." Related: Shia LaBeouf Just Shared A Screenshot Of His Private Email Exchange With Timothée Chalamet, And It's Certainly Interesting "I feel like people just like to make fun of fat people. Whether you're big or small or got small, they like to make fun of us," she said. Lizzo claimed that she started noticing different results when adding meat back into her diet. "What did it for me is it was not being vegan," she said. "Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats, I was eating a lot of bread, I was eating a lot of rice and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full." In her opinion, the "fake sugar and weird shit" in processed foods was holding her back, causing her to eat 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day. "When I started actually eating whole foods and eating, like, beef and chicken and fish," she said, "I was actually full and not expanding my stomach by putting a lot of fake things in there that wasn't actually filling me up." "I feel like I worked really, really hard and I was intentional what I did with my body," she added. And that's that! Take that shame somewhere else because Lizzo doesn't play that.
