GLP-1 weight-loss drugs are reshaping the bridal industry as shops rush orders and require new waivers

The rise of GLP-1s is changing how Americans shop for groceries, consume food at restaurants and approach the gym. It’s also having an impact on the wedding industry. Bridal retailers say they're carrying additional inventory, expediting more orders and performing a growing number of alterations in the wake of so many brides’ dramatic body transformations, reported the Wall Street Journal. Some shops have begun asking brides-to-be to sign waivers acknowledging they’re buying a dress that doesn’t yet fit. A New York bride who has lost 50 pounds using GLP-1 drugs was asked to sign a waiver before ordering a dress that was 3 inches smaller in the waist than her current frame, the Journal reported. Such waivers existed before, the newspaper said, but they're more common now. TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ A late 2025 poll by health-policy research firm KFF (formerly the Kaiser Family Foundation) found that about one in eight American adults (12%) say that they are ...

Double endorsement drama: Trump backs second candidate in red state’s GOP gubernatorial runoff

President Donald Trump is making an 11th-hour endorsement in the final stretch ahead of Tuesday's high-profile Republican gubernatorial runoff in solidly red South Carolina, saying he "can't hurt one of them by only Endorsing the other." Trump on Friday took to Truth Social to say that he was supporting longtime South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson and Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette in the battle for the GOP nomination in the race to succeed term-limited Republican Gov. Henry McMaster. "I can’t hurt one of them by only Endorsing the other, so, therefore, I am going to Endorse, for Governor of South Carolina, both Pam Evette and Alan Wilson!" Trump wrote, adding: "With either one you can’t go wrong." The endorsement of Wilson appears to be a move by Trump to hedge his bets, because Trump is already backing Evette, who is also supported by McMaster, a longtime top ally of the president. The South Carolina runoff had been viewed as the latest test of...

From bear hugs to handshakes: How India lost its edge with Trump while Pakistan quietly gained ground

This week, President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi came face-to-face at the G7 summit in France, their first such encounter since February 2025. Rather than his trademark bear hug, Modi greeted Trump with a smile and handshake. Then on Wednesday, the two held a bilateral meeting. It was a friendly chat, but one that came against a backdrop of compounding tensions. As India works at restoring its relationship with Washington, its arch-foe Pakistan has expanded its own diplomatic profile, complicating India's campaign against its nuclear-armed rival. COMMERCE SECRETARY HOWARD LUTNICK MAKES QUIET TRIP TO INDIA DAYS AFTER TARIFF SETBACK For years, India built an international case against Pakistan, projecting it as an isolated or destabilizing state. This hardline stance appeared to be working, with Modi declaring to Pakistan, "India has been successful in isolating you, and we will intensify those efforts."  But a decade later, Pakistan is rapidly eme...

Trump's Iran deal 'giving a lot more to get a lot less' than Obama's, senator says

President Donald Trump's preliminary agreement with Iran is making its way through the media, but it still hasn’t made its way into the hands of lawmakers on Capitol Hill.  Those who have read the reports are split on the memorandum of understanding (MOU) that the administration intends to finalize in a ceremonial signing on Friday.  Some say it’s a worse outcome than former President Barack Obama's Iranian nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which Trump ripped up in his first term.  TRUMP ADMINISTRATION UNVEILS SWEEPING TERMS OF PROPOSED IRAN AGREEMENT "Everything I've seen is, like, what's being reported by Bloomberg or the read-out on this thing is, we are giving a lot more to get a lot less than we got in the JCPOA," Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said.  "Now, I can't say that with an exclamation point on it until I actually see the memorandum, but every bit of reporting, thus far, says, we're giving a lot mor...

Ex UFC star Paige VanZant sizzles in Miami and Japanese World Cup fans discover everything is bigger in Texas

Well, everyone, true love is dead. Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo are calling it quits. Everything I've ever learned about this couple has been against my will. Back before Jelly Roll lost nearly 300 pounds, he said on a podcast that Bunnie was allowed to cheat on him because he was fat. Then, she did a whole podcast talking about their open marriage. Then there was another podcast where she cried about him cheating on her even though she raised his kids and helped him get clean. CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE All this and I still have no idea if her name is pronounced Xo (like "Zo") or X-O (like "hugs and kisses"). Maybe some things are better left a mystery. Rough day to be Bunnie, though. Not only is she getting divorced, but she got called out by a famous internet troll who goes by the name of Goob. If you're unfamiliar with Goob, he likes to scan the profiles of fitness influencers and call them out for Photoshopping and Facetuning all their p...
