'Embarassing': Actress Kimberly Chia hospitalised after injuring back while brushing her teeth
Home-grown actress Kimberly Chia has revealed the "embarrassing" reason for her recent hospitalisation. She also clarified that her condition was probably caused by a muscle pull or strain and not a slipped disc. "I was already having back pains. An achy back pain that was bearable which I ignored," the 29-year-old wrote on Instagram on July 18, posting a video of herself on a stretcher and being sent to hospital. "Then came Thursday morning, when I was preparing for work and brushing my teeth. I had a gag reflex while brushing my tongue and bent forwards in a jerk." Chia, who is married to 37-year-old businessman Vincent Yeo and has a three-year-old son, said that was when she felt something "snap". "It was a sharp pain that made me see stars. Blacked out but still conscious," she wrote. "I shouted for my husband and he brought me to lie down. I was crying and I couldn't move. Tried to get up, but it hurt so badly. So, we decided to call the ambulance." The NoonTalk Media artiste said she was admitted to hospital and got an X-ray. "All was normal, but it still hurts. I was given some pretty heavy painkillers, but my pain score didn't drop," Chia wrote. "Couldn't move, couldn't sit up. So, I had to stay one night for observation. It's still painful now, but I feel better and can move about, albeit slowly." "Reluctant to share the real reason because so embarrassing?! Haha," she added. Chia, who rose to fame after starring in the crime drama On The Fringe (2011), made a cameo in horror-comedy film The Chosen One (2024). She told Lianhe Zaobao in an interview that was published online on July 21 after she was discharged from the hospital that she is feeling better. Chia said she will undergo physical therapy and arrange for an orthopaedic examination. The actress, who exercises regularly, said she did not have any previous back injuries. "I can walk now, but I can't bend over or make big movements, and I have to turn around slowly," she told the Chinese-language newspaper. "I can't drive either, because stepping on the accelerator and brake will affect my back. Everything else is okay."

Friends of Soundgarden frontman create tribute supergroup to release covers of his songs for charity, Entertainment News
Chris Cornell's friends have created a tribute supergroup called King Ultramega to release covers of his songs to raise money for charity. The Soundgarden frontman - who died in 2017 - is being remembered by pals and former bandmates with the King Ultramega project which will feature a rotating line-up of musicians recording new versions of his tracks to bring in funds for the the MusiCares organisation. Metal Allegiance rocker Mark Menghi, who organised the project, said "There is not a singular moment in time that led to this project. It was a trail of events that led to the formation of King Ultramega and the evolving creation to pay tribute to the voice of a generation." The first iteration of King Ultramega features Menghi on bass with Alice In Chains frontman William DuVall taking on vocal duties, Mastodon rocker Bill Kelliher plays guitar and Anthrax's Charlie Benante behind the drums. They have recorded a cover of Rusty Cage, which featured on Soundgarden's 1991 album Badmotorfinger. The next line-up will include Cornell's Soundgarden bandmate Kim Thayil, who said: "I'm super honoured to record alongside all the amazing musicians appearing on the King Ultramega project. "I'm equally proud that it celebrates Soundgarden in this tribute to the songwriting of Chris. Ultra-admirably, everyone's participation is supporting the work of the MusiCares Foundation." The news comes after it was revealed new Soundgarden album featuring Cornell could finally see the light of day. On the eighth anniversary of the Grunge legend's death (May 18, 2025), bassist Ben Shepherd has revealed there is an album they made with the Black Hole Sun singer before his passing, which is "yet to be named", suggesting it could be released in the future. In a post on Instagram on the anniversary, Shepherd wrote: "As I wait for my son Noah to get out of school today I'm thinking about … well actually it's stuck in my head and's been there since early this morning like a proud spring bird dammit. "Its a song Chris and Matt wrote The Road Less Traveled for our album that has yet to be named, just hearing Chris' voice helps, I know he did that for everyone he knew … help them, he did for me, filled with self doubt and indebtedness and in just his tone knew what I was going through and forgave me like he always did even when he was older. "It's at this point of recording all of our previous albums I'd get this overwhelming hit of awe, camaraderie, power of creativity, majesty even, and love, from the music, and my bandmates ... and I guess just pure life force. "I can tell you, it feels good and invigorating to hear Chris singing from over that horizon and hear the mighty… mighty life, of souls sharing. To hear, as a fan … and band member, a song or two Chris brought in a few years ago turn before my very ears and finger blisters into a full blown Soundgarden tune is like feeling a glacier fall away off your chest."
