MSU breast cancer researcher Jamie Bernard talks about federal funding uncertainty on Thursday, May 8, 2025, at her lab in East Lansing.
Jessie J is sharing a "super personal" health update with fans.
The singer, 37, revealed in an Instagram video on Tuesday, June 3, that she has been diagnosed with "early" breast cancer. She said she received the diagnosis prior to the release of her song "No Secrets," which debuted in April.
"Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding on to the word 'early,'" she told followers. "I have been in and out of tests throughout this whole period."
In the clip, Jessie J said she was debating whether to announce the diagnosis knowing "the media are going to make this way bigger than it needs to be." But she said that she wanted "to share it with my fans and the people that care about me," noting that sharing has helped her in the past and that she is "not processing" the situation "because I'm working so hard."
"It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse," she added.
The Grammy-nominated artist said she plans to "disappear for a bit" to undergo surgery after the upcoming Summertime Ball on June 15, but vowed to return with more new music. She also quipped, "It's a very dramatic way to get a boob job."

Billy Bob Thornton Reflects on Reuniting with 'Hero' Sam Elliott for ‘Landman'
Filming for Landman Season 2 is well underway, and Billy Bob Thornton can hardly contain his excitement, not just for the plot, but who he gets to work with in the latest installment of the fan-favorite Taylor Sheridan series. In a May 2025 interview with Gold Derby, Billy Bob, who plays Tommy Norris on the show, revealed that he hopes to be working with Taylor and co. for the foreseeable future. "[Landman] is a show I'd like to work on for a while; I told Taylor, I said 'As long as you want me around, I'm here for this,'' he shares. 'I really love the show. I love doing it, I love playing this character, and I love the people I work with. Not only the cast, but the crew also is just stellar.' One Season 2 castmate, in particular, stands out. '[Sam Elliott] has always been a mentor and a hero of mine,' Billy Bob said in the interview. The two have previously shared the screen in 1883 and Tombstone. 'I love the guy, we have a real special relationship in real life… It's so good to see him; he lights my day up.' News of Sam joining the Landman Season 2 cast broke in April 2025, with many fans thrilled for the addition. 'Ooohhh I was hoping for another season and Sam just made me even more excited,' one fan commented on the show's Instagram reveal. 'The patch just leveled up,' someone else wrote. 'Perfect casting,' another fan concluded. Meanwhile, Ali Larter, who plays Angela Norris on the show, also appears to be happy with her newest castmate. 'Just three crows cackling,' she captioned a photo of herself with Sam and Michelle Randolph (Ainsley Norris). Again, fans couldn't contain their excitement over Sam's involvement in Season 2—even though his exact role remains unknown. 'Taking an already great show and making it exponentially better by adding Sam Elliott,' one fan commented. 'How epic! Sam Elliott will fit in like a glove on and off screen with Landman,' someone else wrote. 'Sam Elliott is in [the] cast! This show only gets better,' another fan exclaimed. As it currently stands, Landman Season 2 is set to premiere in November on Paramount+. In the meantime, we hope for plenty more BTS snaps of the cast.
