Jessie J's brutally honest admission after undergoing breast cancer surgery
Jessie J is hoping her cancer has 'all gone'.
The 37-year-old pop star announced earlier this month that she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer, and after undergoing surgery earlier this week, the Price Tag hitmaker - who has a two-year-old son Sky with partner Chanan Colman - has offered a candid list of the current pros and cons in her life.
She wrote: 'Pros: Cancer has all gone' accompanied by a fingers-crossed emoji. She later clarified that she doesn't yet know whether any cancer remains as her surgery was only four days ago and results are pending.
The list of positive outcomes continued:
'My nipple is where it used to be.
'I can watch Love Island with no guilt.
'I am getting to rest and talk to friends more than ever.
'My mum lives with us.
'Sky just being Sky,' referring to her son.
'Chanan making me feel safe and the messages are 10/10,' a nod to her professional basketball player boyfriend.
'Connecting with other people who are going through a similar time and being able to support each other.'
Singer lays bare realities of cancer treatment
Jessie then detailed a list of cons, which were 'very honest' though she admitted some were 'silly'.
She wrote: '(I miss) not being able to be the mum I'm used to being and not picking Sky up or the person I'm used to being tbh.
'I don't sit down ever. lol.
'The fear of not knowing if the cancer is all gone - the mental with this is (face in clouds emoji).
'The pain and discomfort is ok and expected but a dickhead when I'm trying to sleep.
'Sneezing is a myth - that hurts.'
The Domino singer also admitted she is struggling with constipation as a side effect of the medication she has been taking and appealed to her fans to share tips with her.
She wrote: 'Not pooing from the anaesthetic and the painkillers. I just wanna pooooooo.
'Since my surgery I have only been on paracetamol and ibuprofen because my blood pressure is too low for anything stronger and even they have got me backed up like (an) old chimney.
'I have had laxatives, a good fresh diet, prunes, juices and your girl is 20 per cent leg and 80 per cent (poo emoji). Any suggestions welcomed.'
Cancer detected early
Jessie first shared news of her cancer diagnosis via an Instagram post on 3 June.
The singer admitted at the time that she had been 'going back and forth' over whether to share the news with the public.
She said in a video message: 'I want to share it with my fans and the people that care about me, and also I'm a sharer. I've always shared everything that I go through in my life. Before No Secrets came out, I was diagnosed with early breast cancer.
'I'm highlighting the word early. Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period.'
Jessie admitted at the time that she was still trying to process the news herself. However, she ultimately felt it was important that she shared the news with her fans.
She said: 'I'm not processing it because I'm working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories.'

Behind the glass of this Subiaco boutique, there are thousands of dresses: maxis, minis, long-sleeved and strapless, tulle, sequins and everything in between, plus shoes, bags, jewellery and headwear. But it's sustainable fashion with a mission; 100 per cent of the proceeds go to support Vinnies' programs for women, including help for those fleeing family violence. The venture, which stocks designers from Valentino to Aje, Zhivago and Leo Lin, was started by the charity almost nine months ago under the motto of 'women helping women'. Last financial year, Vinnies' emergency helpline took almost 50,000 calls, with almost a third first-time callers. 'There is so much need out there, all sorts of challenges for people in the community, so we wanted to find a new revenue source to help fund, develop and grow our vital programs,' says Zoe Hammond, Vinnies head of designer fashion. There are stylists in-store and four and eight-day hire options. See @luxedesignerfashionhire on Instagram. For the young and the young at heart, this interactive exhibition at The Art Gallery of Western Australia features the playful work of local artist Maxxi Minaxi May. The display has hands-on installations, tactile experiences and bursts of colour to encourage different age groups to work together, and 'challenges the 'greyness' of contemporary life and pushes back against consumerism, schedules and screens'. 'Research highlights the profound impact of multigenerational play and creativity in igniting imagination and deepening relationships with each other and the world,' says Lilly Blue, curator and AGWA learning and creativity research manager. There will also be a special program for the winter school holidays. Re-PLAY runs July 5 until February. See . This month-long event has more than 100 offers to get people into the city in August, with everything from one-night-only premium dining to discounts for great value meals and for the first time, staycation packages with food included.

Sip Sessions offers cocktail classes and guided bar-hopping, Feast involves long-table banquets and chef collaborations and Gourmet Getaways combines a hotel stay with dining. For those on a budget, Bargain Bites has specials for casual dinners and lunches. See . Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company is putting on a season of this groundbreaking play to mark 30 years since it premiered as a radical act of Aboriginal theatre-making. The 1995 play, by writer/director Wesley Enoch and acclaimed actor Deborah Mailman, is told by a single narrator and weaves together cultural knowledge, memories and experiences. Its production by Yirra Yaakin, starring Shontane Farmer and Shahnee Hunter in alternating shows, is the first time the play has been presented by an Aboriginal theatre company. It will be at Subiaco Arts Centre from July 3-12. See . After years of eagerly awaiting their skincare deliveries (and the obligatory Tim Tam), Perth beauty lovers can finally shop in-person, with Adore Beauty opening two stores. The first opened at Westfield Carousel on June 26, with Westfield Booragoon to follow on July 10. More than 90 brands will be on offer, including a dedicated Korean beauty section, haircare, fragrances, local favourites and global names like La Roche-Posay and Dermalogica. Forget hibernating: from July 7 to August 17 the Leederville Precinct will come alive with this annual food, wine and music festival. Over six weeks The Leederville Hotel, The Garden and Sevo will host a tasty array of dinners, tastings, workshops and parties as a way to showcase talented chefs, winemakers and creatives.

Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet split
Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet have split. The 49-year-old actor and the 52-year-old film director have announced they are separating with "common accord" and "mutual goodwill" after 18 years together. They announced the split in a statement to the Agence France-Presse news agency, saying they were making the announcement in order "to avoid all speculation, rumours and risky interpretations". They did not reveal a reason for the split. The pair starred opposite each other in 2003's Love Me If You Dare and they began dating in 2007. In 2011 they welcomed their first child, a son named Marcel and in 2017, they had a baby girl. While pregnant with her daughter, Cotillard was forced to deny speculation of a romance with her Allied co-star Brad Pitt amid his split from Angelina Jolie. Cotillard wrote on Instagram at the time: "This is going to be my first and only reaction to the whirlwind news that broke 24 hours ago and that I was swept up into. I am not used to commenting on things like this nor taking them seriously but as this situation is spiralling and affecting people I love, I have to speak up." "Firstly, many years ago, I met the man of my life, father of our son and of the baby we are expecting. He is my love, my best friend, the only one that I need. "I do very much wish that Angelina and Brad, both whom I deeply respect, will find peace in this very tumultuous moment."

Justin and Hailey Bieber post family holiday pictures shutting down split rumours
Justin and Hailey Bieber are showing fans their relationship is as strong as ever, despite persistent speculation about their marriage. The couple recently posted a series of photos from a lakeside getaway, where they enjoyed the sun, relaxed by the water, and teamed up for a game of pickleball. In one playful shot, Hailey flashes two paddles at the camera, while other snaps capture the pair cruising in a golf cart and soaking up the summer scenery. Adding to the family fun, Justin and Hailey also shared sweet moments with their 10-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber, who sported a tiny Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. The posts come on the heels of ongoing rumors, but the couple's candid vacation photos suggest they're focused on family and enjoying time together. In recent weeks, fans have speculated about trouble in Justin and Hailey's marriage after Justin posted messages that seemed to suggest Hailey was giving him the silent treatment. Rumours of a split between Justin and Hailey Bieber intensified after fans noticed a series of suspicious Instagram moves. On January 21, 2025, Justin unfollowed Hailey on Instagram, later claiming, 'Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. Shit is getting suss out here'. Then, on March 31, 2025, Hailey appeared to unfollow Justin after he posted a spree of 17 Instagram Stories and eight new posts in a single day, but she clarified in a TikTok comment, 'It's a glitch! Didn't unfollow him. Hope this helps!'. Around the same time, Justin posted introspective messages about feeling 'unqualified and unequipped,' and shared, 'I have anger issues too, but I want to grow and not overreact much'.
