Since landing the lead in the revival of Hello, Dolly! on Broadway, Bette Midler said so long dearie to 30 pesky pounds.
“A few years ago, Bette really let herself go; she figured her career was over and she might as well enjoy life,” tattles a pal. “But then the musical came along and Bette figured she could reclaim the spotlight and shrink her waist.”
The strategy worked — not only did the 71‑year-old legend scoop up a Best Actress Tony, Star’s insider reveals that Bette is considering a stint as a “Silver Sneakers” fitness guru:
“She’s loving her new size so much, she’s thinking about writing a wellness book targeted at senior women.”
