'Another surgery needed this year. I can do it,' Jessie J wrote on Aug. 8 alongside a series of check marks. 'Raising a toddler. I can do it. Releasing new music. I can do it.'
'It will look different to what I had planned but that's life, things change and either we panic and get mad that it isn't what is was going to be, or we ADAPT,' she added while teasing a new album on Aug. 29.
Jessie J announced her breast cancer diagnosis on June 3.
After taking to Instagram to share the news, she revealed that she was diagnosed shortly before her single 'No Secrets' was released in April.

'I was diagnosed with early breast cancer,' the 'Domino' singer said at the time. 'I'm highlighting the word early. Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding onto the word early. I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period.'
'I just wanted to be open and share it,' she added. 'One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. 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.'

Why Fans Think Lucy and Freddie From ‘Perfect Match' Are Dating
And so ends another season of Perfect Match, aka the most chaotic reality TV show on Netflix. This season was filled with drama (Louis Russell's surprise red carpet appearance with Huda Mustafa! Hannah Burns' mystery baby daddy! AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland's early reveal!) but it seems possible that AD and Ollie weren't the only two to get a happy ending. The latest theory: Fans think Lucy Syed and Freddie Powell are now an item. While season 3 winner Lucy ended the season with Daniel Perfetto and Freddie ended up with Madison Errichiello, it's already been revealed that (spoiler!) neither couple lasted. Lucy and Daniel split before they could even go on their all-expenses-paid vacation, and according to Freddie, he and Madison just couldn't make their long-distance relationship work. As Freddie said of Madison during a post-finale interview with Elite Daily, 'We carried on speaking afterwards, but we were very realistic about the fact that there was 4,000 miles between us. And gradually over time, it just became apparent that it was more of a friendship.' While Madison lives in Minneapolis, the Love Is Blind: UK alum is based in is much closer to where Lucy lives in London. But that's not why fans think they're dating. No, the reason has to do with a pair of Instagram posts. Earlier this week, Freddie shared a pic of himself in L.A. with the caption, 'No place I'd rather be.' A day later, Lucy posted a few snapshots with an identical based on her outfit, fans are convinced that she's the one casting a shadow in Freddie's picture. Seeing as they're both from the UK, it's unlikely that they just happened to bump into each other in L.A.—but that doesn't necessarily mean they're dating, of course. In fact, Lucy seemed to directly address the rumors during a recent interview, where she referred to herself and Freddie as 'friends' and nothing more. 'I hang out with Freddie now and we are just friends,' she said. 'He's like a brother figure…I don't feel any sexual spark with Freddie.' Fans will have to wait and see whether anything comes out of this ~friendship.~

Khamzat Chimaev: 'Poor' Paulo Costa calling me out to make money
Khamzat Chimaev continued to brush off Paulo Costa. Costa (15-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) is eager to fight with Chimaev after accusing him of sending his wife "nasty" messages on Instagram. Chimaev denied ever doing that, but Costa still insists on settling his grudge with him. Chimaev (14-0 MMA, 8-0 UFC) challenges Dricus Du Plessis (23-2 MMA, 9-0 UFC) for the middleweight title in Saturday's UFC 319 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) main event at United Center in Chicago. "I don't care what Paulo Costa says," Chimaev said on the JAXXON podcast. "I have my life, I have my bank account better than his 10 times. This guy is poor. That's why he's trying to call me out and make money. I beat the guys who beat him." Chimaev was asked about the possibility of moving up a weight class and facing Alex Pereira if he gets past Du Plessis. Pereira will run things back with light heavyweight champion Magomed Ankalaev in the UFC 320 headliner on Oct. 4 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. "It depends if he wins, so we'll see," Chimaev said of Pereira. "Actually, if he wins – (even) if he lost, they give me good money, I'm going to fight that guy. So, why not?"

‘Freaky Friday' director reveals he wasn't invited back for sequel: ‘I did raise my hand'
Even the filmmakers got swapped. Mark Waters, who directed the 2003 film 'Freaky Friday' starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, has revealed that he was never even approached to return for this year's sequel. 10 Mark Waters attends the Netflix premiere of 'He's All That' at the NeueHouse in Hollywood, California, on August 25, 2021.

'I did raise my hand and say I'd love to be involved somehow, even in a kind of godfather aspect or executive producer.' 'But I was not extended an invitation,' he added. Advertisement Despite directing Lohan, 39, and Curtis, 66, in the 2003 'Freaky Friday' remake, the director role ultimately went to Nisha Ganatra when 'Freakier Friday' began production in 2024. 10 Mark Waters attends the special screening of 'Mother of the Bride' at the Bay Theater in Pacific Palisades, California, on May 8, 2024.

Advertisement 'I'm very supportive of them making a great new movie,' he told the outlet. 'It would have been nice to be involved, but now that I'm not, I sort of compartmentalize it for myself.' 'I need to devote my energy to keep making new, original things that are going to be hits, and people can remake them in 20 years,' Waters continued. 'So that's what I'm doing now. You can't worry about the projects that you don't do.' 10 Jamie Lee Curtis as Tess Coleman and Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman in 2003's 'Freaky Friday.' ©Buena Vista Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 10 Jamie Lee Curtis as Tess Coleman and Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman in 'Freakier Friday.' ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement The 'Mr. Popper's Penguins' director also revealed that some members of the cast wondered where he was when the sequel began filming. 'It certainly would have been fun, and I heard from quite a few cast members while they were shooting, saying, 'Where the hell are you, Waters?'' he shared. 'I have not forsaken you! I'm sorry.' Picking up 22 years after Anna Coleman (Lohan) and her mother Tess (Curtis) magically swapped bodies in 'Freaky Friday,' 'Freakier Friday' follows Anna and Tess after they swap bodies once again – but this time with Anna's daughter Harper (Julia Butters) and soon-to-be stepdaughter Lily (Sophia Hammons). 10 Jamie Lee Curtis as Tess Coleman and Lindsay Lohan as Anna Coleman in 'Freaky Friday' (2003). ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection 10 Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprising their roles as Tess and Anna Coleman in 'Freakier Friday' (2025). ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection The cast is rounded out by several returning characters, including Anna's ex-boyfriend Jake (Chad Michael Murray), teacher Mr. Elton (Stephen Tobolowsky) and Anna's little brother Harry (Ryan Malgarini). After the body-swapping sequel's release on Aug. 8, it received mixed reviews – including a particularly 'harsh' write-up from Time magazine. 'No one, as far as we know, actually asked Disney for a sequel to 2003's buoyant, surprisingly unsyrupy generation-gap comedy 'Freaky Friday,'' the outlet wrote.

Advertisement Curtis later took to the comments section of the review to defend her and Lohan's new movie. 'SEEMS a TAD HARSH,' the 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' Oscar winner wrote. 'SOME people LOVE it. Me being one.'
