Singer Jessie J hospitalised with infection six weeks after breast cancer surgery
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Jessie J (left) shared a photo on Instagram Stories from her hospital bed with an IV canula in her arm. British pop star Jessie J is facing another health scare less than two months after undergoing surgery for breast cancer. The 37-year-old revealed on social media in June that she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and went for a procedure to treat the disease. But in a post titled 'How I spent the last 24 hours' on Instagram Stories on Aug 3, she revealed she returned to the same hospital ward six weeks post-surgery. She wrote the admission was 'not expected or planned', and she had and still has symptoms that point towards a blood clot in the lung. Clarifying that it is not a blood clot, the Flashlight (2015) singer shared a photo from her hospital bed with an IV canula in her arm. 'They ran a lot of tests, which ended up showing I have an infection (still trying to figure out what) and a little fluid (in) my lungs,' she said. 'Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night (I hate being in hospital) and will continue the investigation as an outpatient.' Jessie J, whose full name is Jessica Cornish, previously disclosed on social media in July 2024 she was diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

In a second post on Instagram Stories on Aug 3, she wrote: 'For me, the true hard journey of this whole thing physically was the day I went into surgery'. She added that the physical recovery is 'far from quick or easy', and 'mentally it's been the most challenging time'. 'Especially as a mum with a toddler and being unable to be the mother I usually am. And having to change the plans for my career for this year has been frustrating after working so hard to get to the point and excited to do it all. But it's life. I know that. 'And don't get me wrong, getting the all clear was and is incredible, but that result didn't speed up or make the recovery from the surgery any easier physically,' she said. Jessie J wrote a third post on her health scare, saying that it was a reminder to herself to slow down even though she felt like she was at a 'tortoise' pace right now. 'This isn't a speedy recovery. And it isn't meant to be,' she wrote. 'That slow pace has been a hard reality to accept. I love moving and working and being up and active but I can't be right now, and that's what it is. 'And I am finding the strength in knowing that all can be adjusted to align with a slower pace and the support of my very small inner circle.'

New Mexico judge dismisses Alec Baldwin's ‘malicious' prosecution suit in ‘Rust' case
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox Alec Baldwin's complaint was dismissed on July 29 for lack of 'significant action' in the case over the past 180 days. A New Mexico judge has tossed out a misconduct lawsuit filed by actor Alec Baldwin against local prosecutors and sheriff's officials over their pursuit of criminal charges against him for the fatal 2021 shooting on the set of the Western movie Rust. Judge Casey Fitch dismissed Baldwin's complaint on July 29 for lack of 'significant action' in the case over the past 180 days. The one-page order, made public on July 30, allows any party in the lawsuit to seek reinstatement within 30 days. Baldwin sued special prosecutor Kari Morrissey, District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, Santa Fe County law enforcement investigators and other public officials in January, accusing them of malicious abuse of process, defamation and mishandling of evidence. The lawsuit said the prosecutors and others had conspired to manufacture a criminal case against Baldwin for political and personal gain when they charged him with manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. Baldwin's lawyer did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment on the dismissal of the suit. The civil suit followed the abrupt dismissal of Baldwin's criminal case in July 2024 during his trial in the New Mexico capital. The trial judge ruled then that the special prosecutor and sheriff's office had deliberately withheld evidence from Baldwin on the source of a live round that killed Ms Hutchins and wounded director Joel Souza.

Ms Morrissey has said prosecutors had long known the actor would file a retaliatory civil lawsuit. The Ukrainian-born cinematographer died when Baldwin pointed a pistol at her while rehearsing, cocked the weapon and possibly pulled the trigger as they set up a camera shot on a movie set near Santa Fe, his lawyers said. The gun, a reproduction 1873 single-action army revolver, fired a live round inadvertently loaded by Hannah Gutierrez, the movie's weapons handler. Gutierrez was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in March and sentenced to 18 months in jail. Baldwin, also a Rust producer, has always said live rounds should not have been allowed on set and he was not responsible for weapons safety. REUTERS
