Fresh from her holiday in Thailand, the singer appeared thinner than ever as she stopped in Los Angeles on her way back to the UK.
Although she was pictured on the beach earlier this week looking relaxed, the popstar could not avoid her troubles forever.

Dressed in skinny jeans and a vest, not even a tan was enough to distract onlookers from the popstar's gaunt figure, looking anxious as she checked it at LAX.
The Girls Aloud star, whose marriage to Ashley Cole remains in turmoil following allegations of infidelity, put on a brave face last week as she relaxed beach side with fellow band members Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh.
Her concerned band mates flew out to join her at a luxury resort in Phuket earlier this week.
Despite seeking comfort in friends, it appears the stress took its toll on the star, with reports her weight has plummeted to six stone.

Still, the summer escape had been a welcome relief for the 24-year-old.
A source has said: "Cheryl needed this time away to get her strength back to face the world.
"Ashley is still her husband and they love each other. They were planning a future. It's too much just though throw away."

It's unclear if Cheryl will return to her husband following the explosive allegations three weeks ago which claimed the Chelsea and England defender had one night stand with hairdresser Aimee Walton.
Ashley spent Valentine's Day without his wife, but kept occupied with a training session with his team in London.
Cheryl is scheduled to present a gong at the Brit Awards on Wednesday.
