Ariel Winter has been very open about her weight issues and insecurities over the years, but it appears the actress is hitting a confident stride, because she just took to Instagram to post this pic of herself lookin' slim and trim in a corset and track pants. "These b*tches at light weight, I am always at fight weight 💪ðŸ¼," she captioned the snapshot. What does that even mean?!
It certainly seems the TV star has gained a lot of self-love since she burst on the scene at age 11.
"It’s been a long journey. I started in the industry when I was 4 years old, but I started in the spotlight when I was 11 years old, when I got Modern Family. I remember being completely flat everywhere – I had no curves, and I was getting hate for that. But then, when I was 12, my body changed, and I had boobs and a butt and these new curves. At first I was like, “Oh, wow, I like this,†but soon pictures started surfacing of me online and I got the worst comments. I was called fat and ugly and a slut and all the worst possible things. It was really, really hard for me," she told The Cut.
"So for years, when I was younger, I would try to change the way I looked. I would do these weird crash diets and I wanted to changed the way I dressed so people would like me on social media, and it never worked. It was always like, no matter what I did, I was always getting this negative, negative, negative backlash. After a while I was kind of like, if I can’t please them in any way, I might as well just start doing what makes me happy," she added.
We love seeing people be comfortable in their own skin!

He's pissed!
Johnny Depp is refusing to pay the $6.8 million divorce settlement he agreed on with Amber Heard after the actress wrote an open letter about domestic abuse, DailyMail reports. The actor initially paid $100K to two charities as part of his obligation, but is now furious that his estranged wife keeps speaking so publicly about her accusations and is unwilling to fork over any more dough.
The Rum Diaries beauty announced that she planned on giving her entire settlement away to the American Civil Liberties Union and Children's Hospital Los Angeles. Her lawyers have now filed documents with the court requesting that a judge enforce the terms of their financial agreement. The actor believes he's in the right because his former spouse violated the confidentiality clause set forth as part of the deal.
Heard seemingly spoke from experience when she detailed her ordeal with domestic abuse in Porter magazine.
"Let’s start with the truth — the cold, hard truth. When a woman comes forward to speak out about injustice or her suffering, instead of aid, respect and support, she will be met with hostility, skepticism and shame,†she wrote. “Her motives will be questioned and her truth ignored. I was raised to be independent and self-reliant. I was never given nor wanted the burden of dependency. I never felt like anyone would or could rescue me, so naturally I resented the label of ‘victim,'" she wrote.
"You, like me, see yourself not as a victim but rather as a member of a growing class of women, daughters of a generation of equality. We have inherited far too much to be resigned to accept injustice and together we are much too strong to excuse it any longer," she added.
We bet he regrets ever splitting from partner Vanessa Paradis. What a mess!

We will never know why so many amazing women have dated this douche ...
John Mayer is trying to shake off the heat he got for tweeting yesterday that December 13 was the "lamest day of the year" and the day just so happened to be his ex girlfriend Taylor Swift's birthday. Not cool, dude!
Soon after fans picked up the fact that the "Wonderland" singer threw some major shade at his former flame, he deleted his tweet and tried to defend himself by writing: "NOPE. No. Nuh-uh. People I am 39. I am deleting those tweets. Come right at me for doing so, Absolutely no shade." Yeah whatever you say, John Boy.
The two dated from November 2009 to February 2010, but there still seems to be some serious bad blood between the two.

These two make a great duo!
Bruno Mars is the latest celeb to hop in the passenger seat for "Carpool Karaoke" with James Corden, and the singer totally crushes some of his greatest hits with the late night host.
"Every time I've met you, you seem like you're in a great mood," the British funnyman told the crooner, to which he responded, "What's not to love?"
The pair discussed the Grammy winner's penchant for silk shirts and hats, as well as his beginnings as an Elvis impersonator. After belting out "Versace on the Floor," Corden joked that he could make a remix called "Spanx on the Floor."
"That song teaches me that you and I are very different in bed, if I start bringing out those sort of shoulder moves I'd be living on my own, with a roommate, above a gas station. Also, no woman that I'm dating is wearing Versace," he quipped.
You have to watch this whole thing, it's hilarious!

Lamar Odom is hopping back on the reality show bandwagon -- and we're not quite sure if this is a good idea or not ...
The fallen basketball star, who just checked into rehab, is slated to star in a reality show based on his recovery, 14 months after he almost died in a Nevada brothel, confirms Us Weekly.
The news comes just days after Odom checked himself int a rehab facility near San Diego, Calif. TMZ reported that Odom was going in for 60 days a few before his late son Jayden's birthday because he, "feared he would go on a major bender as Jayden's birthday approached."
Jayden was born in December 15, 2005 but died the following June from SIDS and the baller, "feared the anniversary would push him over the edge."
Another source told Us Weekly, “He went to continue making sure he stays sober and on the right path. It was something he chose to do."
According to the insider, Odom has gone to treatment (finally!) for “his kids†and because he “wanted to feel 100 percent again. He did not relapse, but felt like he wanted to get away and start fresh for the New Year.â€
Hmm … if you aren't ever sober can you relapse? Just a question!

Such a sad loss.
Alan Thicke passed away at the age of 69 yesterday after suffering a heart attack while playing hockey with his son, and the news has rocked Hollywood and his many celeb pals. The actor is survived by wife Tanya and sons Brennan, 41, Robin, 39, and Carter, 19.
The "Blurred Lines" singer broke his silence to tell the LA Times that his father was "the greatest man I ever met" and "always a gentleman." "I saw him a few days ago and told him how much I loved and respected him," he shared.
Here are some of the condolences and tributes to the Growing Pains star:
Ellen Degeneres: "America loved Alan Thicke. I'm so sad he's gone. Sending so much love to his family."
Alyssa Milano: "Alan Thicke was always the nicest and happiest person in the room. Gone way too soon. Rest In Peace."
Bob Saget: "So sad is the passing of Alan Thicke. Such a good husband, father, brother, and friend. Rest in peace dear Alan."
Candice Cameron Bure: "I'm sad beyond words that Alan Thicke has passed away. I've known you since I was 8 years old and so glad I had the pleasure of working with you again so recently on Fuller House. You were a part of my family and hockey family. You will be greatly missed. â¤ï¸ My heart hurts."
Demi Lovato: "Had the pleasure of meeting Alan Thicke and his amazing wife Tanya a few years back. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. RIP."
Larry King: "So sorry to hear of the passing of Alan Thicke. A wonderful talent, a wonderful man."
Howie Mandel: "I'm shocked to hear about Alan Thicke. He was a good man who gave me some big breaks in my early days. I'll miss you buddy."
Ryan Seacrest: "Sad to learn of Alan Thicke's passing. He was a great friend over the years. Thoughts & prayers to his family."
John Legend: "RIP Alan Thicke. I grew up watching him and got to know him through Robin. He was also so kind to me. So sad to hear about his passing."
Our heart breaks for his loved ones. Could 2016 get any worse?!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to Rob and Blac!
These two freeloaders got to move into one of Kylie Jenner's extra pads just in time for the holidays! First of all, it's insane that Kylie Jenner owns three homes -- one of which she calls her "work space." So this extra one she had sitting there in the same neighborhood as her mom Kris in Hidden Hills is now being loaned out to half-brother Rob and his fiancee Blac Chyna! Oh and let's not forget Chyna's son King Cairo lives there, too -- and of course he's Kylie's boyfriend Tyga's son. And then there's baby Dream. Seriously, life IS a dream for these two!
Apparently they wanted to be closer to Kris, according to reports -- we're pretty sure the translation of that is that Kris wanted to be closer to them. Whatever the case, Chyna seems happy -- and why wouldn't she. She posted a snap of the perfectly-decorated home, bedecked in Christmas lights, celebrating her lucky life in her new 6-bedroom, $6 million home. If 2016 is this good, we wonder what 2017 will bring for this family!

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick took daughter Penelope to lunch with pal Courtenay Semel at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills, on Tuesday. The crew was feeling shy, apparently, because they didn't want to comment on brother-in-law Kanye West's meeting with president-elect Donald Trump. We miss the good ole' days when Scott would just blurt sh*t out -- he was so much more interesting back then!
Later in the day, Kourt picked up Mason to take him to his art class and for some reason we found it appropriate to ask her if Kim was considering divorcing Kanye because he supports Trump. Um, we can think of a million other reasons why Kim might dump Yeezy and his fake support of Trump (he's such an ass-kisser) wouldn't even make it into the top ten.
