The weight of being a Hollywood star can take a toll on a person’s weight.In an industry obsessed with physical appearance, a few extra pounds on the hip or a suddenly pronounced jawline instantly becomes the subject of a headline.

Now, one type of weight-loss medication is proving helpful with another health issue. In a study published Feb. 12 in JAMA Psychiatry, researchers report that semaglutide, better known as Ozempic or Wegovy, helped people with alcohol addiction reduce their craving and drink less.

Anne-Marie Zanzal, 60, and her wife Tonda McKay, 62, have also experienced the more positive changes that weight-loss drugs can have on romantic relationships. They say they had reached the "fat and happy stage of life" but realized being overweight was affecting their energy levels.
