Ever thought about how sometimes the universe just hands you lemons, and instead of making lemonade, you use them to squeeze out a few drops of celebrity gossip? Well, today’s sky is bringing Taurus energy, moody and resolute, just like Gemma Collins’ latest revelation.
Gemma Collins, the queen of reality TV and a known Virgo, not one to shy away from candor or drama, has now joined the ranks of celebrities like Amy Schumer and Jeremy Clarkson, all turning to Mounjaro. This isn’t just any old diet drug; this was crafted for those battling type two diabetes. But in true Hollywood fashion, it’s been repurposed into the latest weight loss trend, much to the chagrin (or not) of users’ wallets and possibly their health.
Now, here’s where the stars align or, perhaps, they’re just plain confusing: Gemma, who’s usually as glamorous as Venus, is now publicly scratching her head about how a drug, meant to help with, well, less eating, has also made her look, quote-unquote, ‘older’. It’s like Mars just casually walked into Venus’ beauty parlor and made himself at home!
What’s happening with these celestial mix-ups? Are the planets telling us to embrace our ‘Ozempic face’, or is this just the universe’s way of saying variety is the spice of life? Here’s Gemma on Instagram, revealing she’s lost two stone (12.7 kg), but at what cost to her visage?
Here’s the juiciest part: she points out the unexpected side-effect. No, it’s not some unmentionable bodily function most of these drugs are infamous for. She’s got what’s colloquially termed ‘Ozempic face’ – a drastic shift in facial features due to rapid weight loss. TAURUS, the sign of beauty and aesthetic, must be having a field day making these public statements, right?
But, let’s not throw shade or stones here; Charleson seems quite chuffed with his experience. He’s managed to glance at food without gorging, which, in this day and age, might just be considered a blessing from Jupiter himself.
So, here we are, wondering… is it the stars, the drugs, or the sheer caprice of celebrity culture that’s shaping our public figures’ faces? Maybe it’s time for some celestial advice on beauty inside and out.

Gemma Collins has become the latest celebrity to share her experience of using Mounjaro.
The injectable weight-loss drug was originally designed for those with type two diabetes, though A-listers around the world have started using it as a replacement for Ozempic.
Originally made as a diabetes medication as well, Ozempic has become popular among those looking to manage their weight, despite the side-effects some users have highlighted.
Collins is the latest celebrity to share her own experiences with weight-loss medication, deciding to use the former as it had been approved by the NHS.

Collins admitted that she was surprised by the side effects, and has a reputation for being very candid and honest about her body and health.
Writing on Instagram, she pointed out that she feels that she looks ‘older’ and revealed that she lost around two stone (12.7kg) while on Mounjaro.
Collins explained: “I really don’t know what’s happened to me.
“I really don’t. It’s just come on me overnight. But it has been a year since I’ve had any little tweakments.”
She said that she doesn’t know if it’s due to the fact that she’s been losing weight, pointing out: “I sure haven’t got ‘Ozempic face’ yet, but it would be the dream right now.”
This is a term is often used to speak about the drastic change in facial appearance that those using the drug experience.
However, medical experts have revealed that this can make the person look ‘aged’ when certain parts of the face become ‘deflated’ as a result of the medication.

The reality TV star went on: “I’ve always had a fuller face, as you know.
“I do like expression around my eyes. I want to look natural still. But this just isn’t right. What has happened? I am 44 but this is taking it to levels that I never, ever imagined it’d get to.”
Her experience seems more negative than Jeremy Clarkson’s, who claimed to be relatively happy with the effects the medication had on him.
“I can open the fridge, look at all the goodies in there and then close it. I haven’t lost any weight but it seems inevitable that, as I no longer want to eat my own body weight in chocolate and beef, I will,” he wrote in the Times. Clarkson said he’s currently micro-dosing the medicine.
