Jessie J Clears The Air On 'Cancer Is Gone' Post In Another Emotional Update
The singer, who has stayed open with her cancer journey, has once again used her social media platform to shed more light on where she is currently at since leaving the operating table.
Jessie J shared her early cancer diagnosis with the world back in April alongside an announcement that she would give one last performance in June before her surgery.
The "Price Tag" singer returned to Instagram to clarify what she meant by an earlier post in which she discussed the pros and cons of her health journey.
She seized the opportunity to clarify that what she meant by "The cancer has all gone" was only a positive manifestation of her recovery and not a fact. This means the singer has yet to receive any official report from her team of doctors.
"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," she reiterated.
Jessie explained that she just had her surgery six nights ago and emphasized that treating cancer is not as easy as getting a verdict just a few days after the procedure. She is, however, not losing faith and sight of what she truly desires, which is total recovery from the life-threatening illness.
Jessie banked on the strength of her significant other and son as she braved the pain of getting surgical treatment for her breast cancer. Her partner, Chanan Colman, was pictured in one of the clips sharing a deep kiss with the singer as they held hands and almost teared up.
As shared by The Blast, the performer asked to see her son on another slide. She recalled playing mental images of her son expressing his love for her, and she reciprocated, all while the doctors got to work.
The singer's two-year-old son was quick to put that imagination into action as he laughed happily next to his mother on her hospital bed.
The singer even educated her son about how the container attached to the drip inserted into her breast worked. She informed her followers that she would remain transparent about the entire recovery process.
In one of the 16 slides, Jessie proved her worth as a true-born talent when she belted out a tune while waiting to be wheeled into the operating room. "I've now been at the hospital for six and a half hours, and I'm still waiting to go down to the theatre," the star expressed in the video.
The "The Voice Australia" coach has shown resilience and bravery throughout her battle with the terminal disease. Her performance at the Capital's Summertime Ball just days before her important surgery represented a defining moment in her shining musical career.
She emphasized the significance of the performance to her audience in a short speech before flexing her vocals. In her words, "Today, this show, is my last show before I go and beat breast cancer. So, it's so special to me. You have no idea."
She expressed her gratitude to her baby daddy, her son, and her family for their support this far, stressing how lucky it feels to be alive.
The mother-of-one spoke about some of the challenges she had to overcome in the days of preparing her body and soul for her surgery. As reported by The Blast, Jessie confessed that she experienced one of her low moments earlier in the month.
Describing it as her lowest moment yet, the singer explained that between juggling work, her cancer, life, and raising her young son, her mind felt very exhausted.
She began to experience bouts of panic attacks, crushing tears, consuming anger, and a series of overwhelming emotions that left her in a terrible mood. The singer soon found a helpful solution to alleviate her pain, and it was her feasting on a corn cob. According to her:
"Turns out it's extremely hard to panic or cry while eating one. Highly recommend. Instant [sic] mood shift."
The singer stressed in a follow-up post that she found it helpful to share her troubles and let them out so she could let the positive energy in.
On finally becoming a mother two years after suffering a painful miscarriage in 2021, the singer explained that it represented a happy ending in the story of her life. She explained to PEOPLE how much she adored her kid and her son.
"The gratefulness and the joy that I experience every day, waking up knowing he's in my house, and he's alive and well... Until you experience it, it's so hard to really understand," Jessie said.
She stressed that the realization of how lucky she was did not really dawn on her until she held her son in her arms for the first time.
The singer expressed how special it felt to find the love of her life in her current partner and to make things even more magical by welcoming a son together. Jessie and her beau Colman began dating in 2021 and became first-time parents in 2023.
Sending lots of love, energy, and light Jessie J's way!

Who Has Brittany Snow Dated?
If you watched The Hunting Wives on Netflix in one sitting (guilty), then you might be wondering whether Brittany Snow's love life is as complicated IRL as it is on screen. The answer? Very much yes. In fact, the Pitch Perfect alum's marriage (and subsequent divorce) was a big part of Selling the OC season I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. Want to know everyone Brittany has romanced in the past (as well as what happened with her marriage to Tyler Stanaland)? Let's get into it. Brittany's first major relationship in the spotlight was with musician Michael Johnson, who she dated for just about three years before calling it quits in 2007. 'Brittany really cares about him but can't focus on a relationship now,' a source told In Touch at the time. The two then gave their relationship another shot in 2012 but ended up splitting a few months later. (Fun fact: Michael later went on to briefly date Brittany's Pitch Perfect costar Anna Camp.) Little is known about Brittany's relationship with actor Josh Henderson, but it's widely reported that the two ~briefly dated~ between 2007 and 2008 (as evidenced by the above photo). After meeting on the set of the indie film Walk, Brittany and Ryan Rottman dated for about two years before breaking up in 2010. 'They just grew apart,' an insider later told Just Jared. 'They're still great friends but are just focused on their careers right now.' Dating rumors started circulating about Brittany and musician William Tell after they were spotted holding hands at Coachella. However! By early 2012, William was dating Lauren Conrad, to whom he's now married. Brittany dated Teen Wolf alum Tyler Hoechlin for three years, though the two kept their romance pretty low-key. As she told Cosmo back in 2015, 'We like to keep our moments to ourselves, which is why we don't do much social media. We're not hiding anything. We're not not wanting people to know.' By the end of 2015, the relationship had fizzled out. In late 2015, Brittany raised eyebrows when she was seen at Madison Square Garden attending a Knicks game with filmmaker Andrew Jenks. At the time, a source told E! News that the two were 'casually' dating, but little else was heard about the maybe-romance. Brittany began dating her future husband—professional surfer turned real estate broker Tyler Stanaland—in 2018 after he slid into her Instagram DMs. 'We had a bunch of friends in common, and he actually reached out to me on Instagram with a really lame pickup line,' she told People when asked how they met. By February 2019, the pair was engaged, and they married a year later in March 2020. But then, in September 2022—less than a month after the release of Tyler's Netflix reality series Selling the OC—the couple announced their decision to separate. The reason? Tyler's Selling the OC costar Alex Hall, with whom he developed a very flirty relationship in season one. After the divorce was finalized, Brittany spilled all the breakup tea during a tell-all interview on Call Her Daddy. 'I was not aware of a lot of things, and I'll say that,' she told host Alex Cooper. 'So, I will say, what people think happened, happened.' Well then! Most recently, Brittany sparked romance rumors with photographer Hunter Moreno after they were papped kissing in New York City in October 2024. It's unclear whether they're still dating, but she did give him photo cred on this July 2025 IG post, which feels promising!

This ‘Top Gun' star visited S.F. for its Grateful Dead 60th anniversary celebration
Actor Miles Teller and television personality Andy Cohen were among the tens of thousands of Deadheads flowing through Golden Gate Park last weekend to celebrate the lasting legacy of the Grateful Dead. The two were photographed together during one of Dead & Company's sold-out shows at the Polo Field, posing with black sunglasses against the backdrop of the event's packed crowd. Cohen, host of Bravo's late-night talk show 'Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,' wore a yellow and grey tie dye hoodie, while the ' Top Gun: Maverick ' star had on a white T-shirt and denim jacket. The image was shared by internet personality Maurice Aouad on Tuesday, Aug. 5, as part of a carousel of film photos that he took over the three-day outdoor event, which kicked off Friday, Aug. 1, with bluegrass musician Billy Strings as the opening act. Cohen reposted the image to his Instagram story later that day. Another photo of Cohen and Teller at Golden Gate Park, shared to Instagram by the New York Post's Page Six on Monday, Aug. 4, shows the two taking a selfie amid the crowd, with the stage behind them. The caption notes that the image came from Cohen's Instagram account, but his post seems to have expired since then. It is unclear if they attended all three of Dead & Company's San Francisco concerts, but the two photos appear to have been taken on the same day. Both Teller and Cohen have never been subtle about their Deadheads status. Cohen even has a Highlight saved to his Instagram profile titled 'Grateful Stuff,' filled with archived story posts of his experiences at Dead & Company concerts. Teller previously revealed that fans sent him Grateful Dead T-shirts after he and his wife, Keleigh Sperry Teller, lost their Los Angeles home to the Palisades fire at the start of the year. He also recounted a "spiritual experience' that he had while watching Grateful Dead founding member Bob Weir perform during college. 'From then on, that was it,' Teller told NME Magazine. 'I was sold.' The historic weekend celebrated the legacy of the Bay Area jam band and its members, old and new. Festivities kicked off Thursday, July 31, with the Heart of Town concert series. The three-night event was organized by Grahame Lesh, son of late Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh, and featured appearances by Dallas musician Stephen Stills, Los Angeles folk rock group Dawes and Melvin Seals, longtime member of the Jerry Garcia Band . A number of free celebrations took place in tandem, from the open-air, city-sanctioned Shakedown Street market to the Jerry Garcia Street naming event and Dead drummer Mickey Hart's ' Art at the Edge of Magic ' exhibition at Haight Street Art Center.

NYC's hilarious ‘de-influencer' is the hero TikTok needs — and he's beating his phony foes at their own game
NYC's suffering from serious influence-a — and one man's hilarious TikTok videos could be the cure. After a divisive decade that saw the city fall under the spell of obnoxious influencers, an anonymous social media account administrator for a local, family-owned popcorn company has become the hero Gotham needs — delighting viewers with viral clips mocking the tiresome trend of crummy content creation. From faux-foodies to freebie-obsessed fashionistas, nobody's safe from the self-described 'de-influencer' in charge of the Daadi Snacks account, where the mystery man racks up scores of views on sarcastic send-ups of social media's worst offenders — all delivered in a dead-on rendition of the nasally, uptalky, vocally fried 'influencer voice' that's become the noxious norm. Typical methods clearly aren't for this unnamed marketing man turned app agitator — he's too busy snapping up new fans with satirical reactions aimed squarely at the hordes of entitled interlopers running amok on Big Apple streets. 'I'm literally shaking. They sent me an $80,000 car instead of a $120,000 car. I guess they do say God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers,' the popular pot-stirrer joked in his most successful video aimed at a typically tough-to-take over-sharer, with nearly 9 million views to date. Not only are the punny pushbacks from a formerly-unknown 'corn popper making people laugh, they're also helping him beat actual influencers at their own game. Since achieving newfound notoriety, the small company, which now has 300K followers on TikTok and another 150K on Instagram, has struggled to keep product in stock. Daadi Snacks offers vegan, all-natural popcorn — characterized by South Asian-inspired flavors like Sweet Chai and Spicy Masala, according to the brand. The Daadi Snacks-repping de-influencer explained that the family company was inspired by his grandmother's recipes. Instagram/daadisnacks The instigator claimed in a recent post that he's not in it for the content creation money, like most people posting to TikTok at this level — 'I post to speak my mind and help my family's snack biz,' he explained last May. For his trouble, the de-influencer says that he's received multiple cease and desist letters and several lawsuit threats from irate creators — apparently irked by his increasing popularity. And he's missing out on even more followers due to the nature of his content, he said. Though he takes down tacky TikTokkers from all over, his NYC-based videos are scoring well among fed-up local viewers. TikTok/@daadisnacks 'People unfollow me because they say I'm too mean to influencers, but I would argue I need to be meaner,' he mused in one video. Plenty appear to agree, with a recent Reddit thread heaping praise on the mystery man. 'I can imagine … a lot of toxic influencers choking on their matcha lattes searching their Balenciaga bags to reply on their smart phones adorned with cheap cubic zirconia crystals,' a poster snarked. ''Influencers are boring and unoriginal and can get bent,' another chimed in. The Post has reached out to Daadi Snacks for comment.
