Singer-turned-designer Victoria Beckham says she was a "bit of a laughing stock" in the fashion industry for a long time but it did not affect her determination to succeed.

The 40-year-old designer said it was a struggle to prove herself in the fashion industry after initially rising to prominence for her pop career, reported Daily Mirror.

"For a long time there, I was a bit of a laughing stock. And while everybody was busy laughing, what was I doing? I was laying the foundation to what I have in place now," Beckham said.

"Everybody said, 'Well it's never going to work because a celebrity can't do a line (but because) everyone thought it was going to be rubbish (it took) the pressure off a little bit. I didn't go into this to prove anything to anybody other than myself," she added.

The brunette beauty, who recently celebrated her 40th birthday, said she is not a big fan of the celebrity life and would rather focus on her successful fashion empire.

Along Came Polly star Debra Messing says she feels great after shedding 20 pounds and attributes it to a healthy lifestyle.

The 45-year-old actress, who split from actor Daniel Zelman in 2012, after 10 years of marriage, said making big changes in her lifestyle has helped her in losing weight, reported Contactmusic.

The former Will and Grace star said that though she did not mean to lose so much weight, she is very happy with her figure.

"I lost like 20 pounds. It wasn't my intention, that wasn't why I made the change. I made the change because I was just tired all the time. For a long time, I just accepted that was the plight of a working, single mother. You're juggling everyday," said the actress, who has a 10-year-old son with Zelman.

The actress said she drinks homemade green vegetable juices every morning, which helps her stick to her diet for the rest of the day.
