Jessie J says 'it's not my thing' as she shares cancer update
The 37-year-old songstress and mother of two-year-old Sky, with her partner Chanan Colman, underwent surgery 12 days prior after disclosing her diagnosis last month.
In a heartfelt Instagram Story update which she penned on Tuesday evening, the 'Price Tag' hitmaker shared that she's now eschewed painkillers, explaining they're "not [her] thing" and prefers to be fully aware so she doesn't push herself too hard.
Opening up about her post-operative experiences, Jessie J wrote: "For those asking for a health update. I am 11 days post-surgery. I'm good."

She continued discussing her process, saying: "Missing being an active m um the most. But it's been nice to slow down and Sky is having a blast with Nanny and Grandad."
Despite some discomfort, Jessie's spirits remain high as she's managing well: "It's still uncomfortablebut l can handle that. I'm doing my exercises and taking all the healthy things. I have been trying to eat super clean."
Taking control of her recovery, she affirmed: "I have stopped all pain meds. Just not my thing. Also like to feel how it feels so I don't overdo it."
Previously, Jessie disclosed her uncertainty regarding her cancer status post-surgery.
She clarified: "You have misunderstood my post. I posted a list of pros and cons of having breast cancer surgery. The first pro I put was... The cancer has all gone. This was a positive affirmation, NOT a fact.
"I don't have my results yet. I added the [fingers-crossed] emoji in thinking people would understand and clearly a lot didn't. A weird situation. My fault for not being clearer. But for now I do not have my results after surgery which was only 6 nights ago. I pray it will be true soon but the journey of cancer isn't that simple unfortunately. (sic)".

Starface founder Kara Brothers shares her secret for achieving tighter, brighter skin
Here at The Cosmo Black Beauty Hub, we absolutely do not gatekeep, so when we get a chance to quiz some of our favourite Black women about their go-to beauty products, tips and treatments, we don't hold back – after all, that's how our Little Black Beauty Book Franchise was born. All the tea on our favourite star's life in beauty, served hot. This week, we caught up with the founder of Starface, Kara Brothers, to deep dive into her little Black beauty book... Black beauty means fun to me. It means exploring anything you want to and feeling great in your skin. I'm loving my Omnilux LED Mask these days! I feel like my face looks tighter and brighter, and a bonus is that it scares everyone in my household. Ingleton Dermatology in Manhattan, New York, has been lovely. Everyone I've seen knows exactly how to work with melanated skin, and I just feel so seen and protected there. I am a curly girl and finally have a cut that really works. I use Oribe Moisture & Control Shampoo and Conditioner. I finish with Christophe Robin Hydrating Leave-In Cream. It's lightweight and gives my finer but full curls a lot of definition. Abbie at Arte Salon is the curl and colour whisperer! I used to straighten my hair ALL the time. I love how it looks straight, and it's really easy to manage, but because I did it so often over many years, it took me a long time to really embrace my curls, especially in a corporate environment. I'm glad I dropped the belief that curls are somehow less professional – that's a societal construct and I no longer wish to perpetuate it. Starface's Hydro-Stars! I tend to pick based on where I'm going and what I'm doing, but Recovery (purple) is a fave. And I always have a Star Balm with me, too! I don't do enough body treatments, but you know what I feel is one of the most underrated? Foot massages! It feels so good just to have your feet pampered. I used to go quite a bit, but somehow that fell off. This is my sign to bring them back. My HigherDOSE Infrared Mat. It really saves me from winter blues and has my skin looking so, so good. I thought I wouldn't use it much, but I certainly find a way to implement it into my routine once a week. Every day I wear the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer and Saie Mascara 101. They are both so reasonably priced, and I'm very grateful. I have a lot of memories of putting on blush like a clown. Just one big red dot in the middle of my cheek… I still haven't perfected it, but I've come a long way. Starface Starbalm in Coconut! Lia Mappoura (she/her) is the Beauty Writer at Cosmopolitan UK. Covering everything from viral celebrity hair and makeup news to the latest trend predictions, she's an expert in recognising the season's next big beauty look (before it ends up all over your social media feeds). You'll usually find her putting TikTok's recent beauty hacks to the Hype Test, challenging the gender-makeup binary and social stereotypes, or fangirling over the time Kourtney Kardashian viewed her Instagram Story (yes, it's true).

Joe Jonas' Ex Sophie Turner Reacts to Being Mom-Shamed
Sophie Turner, Joe Jonas' ex, has clapped back at those commenting on her parenting. This follows Turner sharing pictures from a night out at an Oasis concert, which led to some criticism. However, the actress did not let it slide and responded sharply. Sophie Turner reacts to backlash about her parenting style Sophie Turner, who shares two daughters with ex-husband Joe Jonas, recently became the focus of online criticism after posting a carousel of photos from an Oasis concert. The pictures show Turner enjoying the night: laughing with friends, posing for the camera, kissing a cardboard cutout of Liam Gallagher, and sporting a laid-back look in denim and a bucket hat. She captioned the post, 'Bucket hats & beers…. That'll do me.' While plenty of followers praised her night out, one commenter decided to take a swipe. They wrote, 'Lmfao I think she has forgotten that she has two kids.' Turner replied sharply, 'Ah I'm so sorry sometimes I forget some people can't think for themselves. So…. Get this….There's this crazy thing called shared custody. Maybe, just maybe, they were with their dad that day.' The response quickly spread across social media, with many chiming in to defend her. (via Entertainment Weekly) Previously, the Emmy-nominated actress has been candid about how deeply criticism of her parenting affects her. In a 2024 interview with British Vogue, she reflected on the intense media attention during her divorce, particularly tabloid claims that portrayed her as a partier. Turner said, 'It hurt because I really do completely torture myself over every move I make as a mother — mum guilt is so real! I just kept having to say to myself, 'None of this is true. You are a good mum, and you've never been a partier.'' Turner and Jonas married in 2019 and went through a very public split in 2023, when the latter filed for divorce in Florida. Their separation was finalized in September 2024, exactly one year later, after they reached a custody agreement. Originally reported by Disheeta Maheshwari on Mandatory.
