Jessie J shares ‘the good and hard bits' of her breast cancer journey
Jessie J is pulling back the curtain on her fight to beat breast cancer.
The singer posted a series of photos and videos Monday on her verfied Instagram account, showing her undergoing treatment for the disease. She started the post off with a 'blood warning.'
'This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours,' she wrote in the caption. 'I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through.'
The former coach on 'The Voice UK' went on to thank her caregivers.
'Grateful to my doctor / surgeon and all the nurses who cared for me and all my family / friends who came to visit,' her posts reads. '🫂 I am home now, to rest and wait for my results 🤞🏻.'
She also joked about her romantic partner, former basketball player Chanan Safir Colman, being 'in a nurse outfit' before writing, 'No no, he isn't, but funny to imagine.'
Colman is seen in some of the slides, along with their toddler son, Sky.
The British sonsgstress is also seen watching herself addressing a sold-out crowd at her June 16 concert at Wembley Stadium in the UK. It was her last before she underwent cancer surgery and treatment and she can be heard on the video telling the crowd 'before I go and beat breast cancer.'
'As you are doing,' a voice believed to be Colman's can be heard saying off camera.
The 37-year-old went public with her battle, shared on social media earlier this month that she had been diagnosed with 'early breast cancer.'
'I'm highlighting the word 'early,' she said in the video she wrote. 'Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early.''

Wes Anderson Inspired ESPN's New Wimbledon ‘Quiet Please' Campaign
Wes Anderson's filmmaking style serves as the inspiration for ESPN's Wimbledon campaign, 'Quiet Please.' The new campaign draws on Anderson's style and embraces his signature use of symmetry as well as his curated color palettes. Franz Ferdinand's 'Take Me Out' serves as the campaign's anthem.

Novak Djokovic, Madison Keys, Ben Shelton, Jessica Pegula, Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe, along with ATP and WTA world number ones Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, also make appearances. 'This year's Wimbledon campaign beautifully elevates the sport's rising stars and compelling narratives through a powerful and cinematic thematic,' said Rachel Epstein, Vice President, Live Sports and Audience Expansion at ESPN. 'It's a fresh and distinctive approach that not only captures the elegance and intensity of the tournament, but also underscores the depth of our coverage from day one through the finals.' Wimbledon is widely considered one of the most prestigious of all tennis Grand Slams, known for its storied grounds, rich traditions, and unique idiosyncrasies. The call of 'quiet please' comes from umpires to hush the crowd. This backdrop sets the stage for ESPN's newest installment of its 'Quiet Please' marketing campaign, which highlights the contrast between Wimbledon's timeless elegance and the high-energy play on the court. This year, from June 30 through July 13, ESPN will offer 'first ball to last ball coverage' across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPN Deportes, totaling more than 250 hours of live coverage with every match on every court streaming live on ESPN+. Disney+ subscribers can watch Day 1 tournament action directly within the Disney+ app. In addition, the entire tournament will stream on Disney+ for all Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ bundle subscribers.

Cate Blanchett Just Did Mermaidcore—the Right Way
At long last, someone has finally nailed the mermaidcore brief: Cate Blanchett. Today, for the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party in London, the actor wore the seashell-embellished corset from Dilara Findikoglu's fall 2025 collection. We're used to mermaidcore having a Y2K, H2O: Just Add Water flavor: iridescent eyeshadow, beachy hair, paillette-covered tank tops, and flowing skirts. But with her collar of spiked shells, the corset takes on an almost menacing, armor-like meaning. She isn't Princess Ariel, but a siren who will lure men to their deaths. Cate Blanchett at the Serpentine Gallery summer party Doug Peters -Dilara Findikoglu fall 2025 Photo: Isidore Montag / Still, Blanchett did embrace the literal, swapping the lace-up leather pants from Findikoglu's runway for a pale purple mermaid skirt that jutted out at the knee, complete with body-contouring lines and raw seams galore. She finished her look with a pair of dusty lavender pointy-toe pumps lined with tulle that resembled seafoam after a wave breaks. Styled by Elizabeth Stewart, Blanchett is not afraid of taking fashion risks. (See: the 102 spoons she wore as a top, from 2024 LVMH Prize winner Hodakova.) She's also always the first in line to wear designers early in their tenures, from Haider Ackermann's Tom Ford to Sarah Burton's Givenchy. But after seeing her in embellished seashell armor, we instantly need another collaboration between Cate Blanchett and Dilara Findikoglu.

Aaron Pierre Reportedly Eyed To Be The Next James Bond
Actor Daniel Craig departed the James Bond film franchise with the release of No Time to Die in 2021. Additionally, Amazon MGM Studios acquired full creative control of the brand in 2025. As such, it was only a matter of time before plans went into play for reviving the property, and it looks like Aaron Pierre is reportedly being eyed to play the next James Bond. The James Bond character has been played by numerous different actors over the course of decades, leading to more than two dozen films to have been released with stars that include Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, and more. It's always a big moment when a new Bond actor is being chosen, especially knowing they'll have to walk in the shadow of those who previously played the role. Now, according to insider Daniel Richtman, actor Aaron Pierre is 'being considered' for the role. However, Richtman is unclear whether or not any official meetings have taken place, which means this information should be taken with a grain of salt. Pierre could very well just be one name on a list of many that the studio is considering for the part. However, Aaron Pierre would certainly be a major choice for James Bond, especially with some of his recent gigs. The actor surprised audiences with the release of Rebel Ridge on Netflix and he was also cast as John Stewart for the upcoming Green Lantern TV series Lanterns for HBO. An opportunity to play James Bond isn't that surprising at the rate his popularity has grown. If he were chosen, Pierre would also be the first black actor to play the character. Furthermore, he is an English actor, so he would still fit the bill in that regard. While it would be a big step forward for the franchise, many fans have been eager to see a more diverse take on Bond, especially with many hoping to see Idris Elba take the role. Ultimately, we'll have to see how this situation plays out, especially as this information hasn't been officially confirmed. One thing is for certain, however, and that's that there will be a new actor playing James Bond sooner or later. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates as we have them.
