Magazine Covers - Nicole Scherzinger Talks Bulimia, and Lewis Hamilton For Cosmopolitan

Nicole Scherzinger came to prominence as the front singer for the girl band, The Pussycat Dolls and since them she has moved into being a judge for different talk shows including X-factor UK.

In the coming issue of Cosmopolitan, Nicole Scherzinger opened up on alot of issues including her relationship with Lewis Hamilton and her battle with Bulimia.

On Bulimia and getting past the shyness that made it worse for her, she said;


"I get past my shyness by making everything about others and not thinking about myself. That’s what I did on The X Factor – I can be goofy and playful when it’s about the acts. They are like my babies. But when I’m off stage I’m not as big and animated. People know they could have a pint with me, they know I work hard… but for me all my smiles and confidence are a triumph because it came from a broken place,”

Opening up about her brave escape from dark times, she spoke to Cosmo fighting back tears  about the punishing eating disorder that almost stole her twenties. “Thinking about it I try not to well up… It is such a horrible paralysing disease and it was such a dark time for me. That’s why I can empathise so much with people who have demons and voices in their heads, who aren’t nice to themselves. It robs you of living your life. But you can recover and you can get rid of it forever. I did it and that’s why it’s so important for me to share my story. I felt so alone... but I made myself so alone. You hide it from the world, you isolate yourself. But you can beat it – do not give up because you’re so special and you’re meant for such great things."

"I had started losing my voice, I couldn’t sing at shows, and then I remember my manager finding me passed out on the floor in Malta or in the south of France. I thought, ‘I’m going to lose everything I love if I don’t love myself.’ One day when you feel like you’ve reached the end, you just say, ‘I’m not doing this anymore.’ It’s sad to see how I wasted my life. I had such a great life on the outside, the Dolls were on top of the world but I was miserable on the inside. I’m never letting that happen again; you only get one life – I was 27 only once."

On her and Lewis Hamilton's relationship - those six year awww anniversary pics in Venice last week prove they’re pretty hot in love. 

Nicole admitted that just like any couple doing the long distance thang is hard - she is mainly based in LA and him in Europe. "Well it’s something crazy romantic. Relationships are hard and having to hold a long-distance relationship is even harder. It’s kudos to us for growing and trying – there’s so much love there. It’s just the distance, it’s not natural for anyone. But I’m good and I’m happy,” she said.

Nicole ain’t going to give up her dreams for no man - no matter how much she adores him. “Absolutely not. This is my passion, I have so much more to give, and with him – whether we’re on or off – I wholeheartedly support him in everything he does. It’s good we have that love and respect for each other.”
