English singer Jessie J undergoes surgery following breast cancer diagnosis
English pop singer Jessie J has undergone surgery to treat breast cancer and is awaiting her results at home.
The 37-year-old Flashlight singer wrote on Instagram on June 24: 'Blood warning. This post is some of the honest lows and highs of the last 48 hours. I will always show the good and hard bits of any journey I go through.'
The sequence of photos she uploaded included selfies, as well as pictures of her boyfriend Chanan Colman, a Danish-Israeli professional basketball player, and their two-year-old son Sky. They are seen spending time together after her surgery.
In one of the videos she recorded pre-surgery, she sings: 'Now I've been in the hospital for six and a half hours and I'm still waiting to go down to the theatre.'
In another clip, Sky is seen sharing her hospital bed. Mother and son share a close moment together as the Bang Bang singer watches him eat.
She also joked that the bottle of water and blood that was drained from her breasts post-surgery was like 'goji berry smoothie'.
Referring to the bottle, she later said: 'Look at that, that is insane,' as the volume within had increased.
The singer went public with her early-stage breast cancer diagnosis on June 4.
In her June 24 post, she expressed her gratitude to her doctor, surgeon, the nurses who attended to her, as well as her family and friends who had visited her.
The Domino hitmaker ended her caption with: 'Still hugging everyone going through something tough right now. We all got this!'

The in-flight beauty routines of 3 stylish jet-setters
@ As the season of summer travel kicks into high gear, plane-bound beauty aficionados will be faced with an entirely first-world problem. How to master the art of the perfect in-flight beauty routine, and how to ensure one's beauty upkeep is maintained à l'étranger while still keeping things chic and convenient? Allow us to point you in the direction of three stylish jet-setters for inspiration: Michelle Lin, a globetrotting content creator based between London and Valencia; Iman Fandi Ahmad, Singaporean singer-songwriter and artist; and Li-Chi Pan, South African-based art director and photographer. For these personalities, traversing the globe is a pleasure in the name of both work and play. As is somehow always looking good while doing so—how exactly do they manage? All three agree that in-flight hydration is key, courtesy of nifty essentials like a trusted lip balm, rejuvenating facial mask and concentrated moisturiser. Opting for a clean complexion allows the full benefits of said skincare to soak in. However, for a dose of pre-arrival glamour, look to the likes of a quick brow touch-up, multi-tasking beauty stick across the face's high points, or a few drops of fragrance to make a polished impression upon landing. Peruse the in-flight beauty secrets of Michelle, Iman and Li-Chi below: @ 1 / 3 Michelle Lin Instagram: @ | TikTok: @ Tell us about any exciting travel plans that you have lined up! Right now, I've got a few exciting trips coming up! Ibiza, Santorini, Copenhagen and New York are all on my calendar. What beauty products do you always pack in your carry-on? I always keep it minimal but essential: What's your in-flight beauty routine that keeps you looking and feeling refreshed? I reapply SPF regularly, especially on long flights. Keeping my skin hydrated is the top priority—the Cicaplast Baume B5+ and lip oil come with me every time. I also sometimes carry a mouth refresher spray to feel extra fresh mid-flight. With such frequent travel, how do you stay on top of your beauty game? Post-flight, I love to put on a hydrating face mask like the Gold Hydralifting Mask from Omorovicza to counter the dry cabin air. Honestly, I don't change my skincare routine too often—I like to keep things simple and consistent. Once I find something that works, I stay loyal! My skin thanks me for not constantly switching products. Can you share a beauty lesson from your travels and time spent living amongst different cultures? One thing I've learnt is that less is more, especially when you're on the go. Different climates and water types can affect your skin, so sticking to a gentle, reliable routine helps maintain balance. Also, beauty isn't one size fits all—seeing how different cultures approach skincare and self-care has really opened my eyes to new rituals and ingredients I might never have tried otherwise. What are your favourite local beauty products to stock up on while travelling? Whenever I'm back in Taiwan, I stock up on mascara and mascara primers—they're just made differently in Asia! My go-to products are: Canmake and Kate mascara primers. Mascaras from 1028, Kaibeauty and the Japanese brand Kissme. I've also discovered a Japanese brand called Ahres—their Raw Melt Cleansing Balm Kuro and Boost Pomper X Serum are absolutely amazing. I've stocked up on both! @imanfandi17 2 / 3 Iman Fandi Ahmad Instagram: @imanfandi17 | TikTok: @imanfandi Do you have any exciting trips planned this summer? Yes, I do—in early July I'll be heading for a two-week trip, travelling between London, Bulgaria and Berlin. It will be my first time to Bulgaria and Berlin so I am really excited. What beauty products do you always pack in your carry-on? Please outline your in-flight beauty routine for us—how do you stay looking and feeling fresh? I moisturise really well before my flight and apply sunblock. I've been told that less is more so I always try to just keep my skin hydrated and carry a face mask, especially on longer flights. I like to use Romi Beauty's Glow Getter Treatment Mask if I have time; otherwise, I'll use a face mist like Pixi's Hydrating Milky Mist or the travel-size Avène Thermal Spring Water Spray. What is your favourite travel beauty tip? Always hydrate your skin and protect it from the sun by applying sunblock. I also travel with my own hair curl cream, which I apply after being in the ocean or when my hair is really dry and I want my curls to bounce. I use Fenty Hair's Comeback Kid Instant Damage Repair Treatment. Where in the world do you feel the most beautiful? Anywhere with a beach. I love travelling to places where I can feel the ocean breeze and sun, and there's just something about dressing up in tropical sundresses that makes me feel beautiful. Even if I happen to go for a more city-like destination, I try to stop somewhere where I can still surround myself in nature. @lichipan 3 / 3 Li-Chi Pan Lin Instagram: @lichipan | Website: Do you have any exciting travel plans lined up this season? Yes, I will be taking a 10-day trip to New York and Boston this summer. My first cousin is getting married so I will be travelling for his wedding. What beauty products do you always pack in your carry-on? When it comes to carry-on essentials, simplicity and hydration are key as well as TSA-approved sizes. My must-haves are: Optional extras would be a silk eye mask, travel hairbrush and essential oil roller. Do you have any beauty or wellness rituals that you maintain to feel at home while travelling? In order to feel grounded and at home no matter where I am, I stick to my skincare routine. I stay consistent with double cleansing and moisturising, using travel-sized versions of my essentials. I usually travel with my Omnilux Contour Face—a red light therapy mask—and use it as downtime once I'm in bed. A warm cup of chrysanthemum or barley tea also helps maintain my internal balance, which can be disrupted during my travels. What beauty product makes for the best travel souvenir? Locally made skincare or fragrance that uses native or local ingredients. A stand-out for me would be Officine Universelle Buly's Baume des Muses. The lip balm is a celebration of natural ingredients and is housed in a compact box where you can have your initials embossed in gilt letters, adding a personal touch. Please share a beauty lesson that you have learnt from your travels. One of the greatest lessons I've learnt from my travels is that beauty is about rituals. Skincare should not be rushed. Cleansing should be mindful and deliberate. As I've gotten older I've realised that it's less about chasing flawless skin and more about embracing the process of caring for your skin with intention.

Taylor Swift gives surprise acoustic performance of Shake it Off at Tight End University, Entertainment News
Taylor Swift gave a surprise acoustic performance of her 2014 mega-hit Shake It Off at Tight End University. The 35-year-old pop megastar might have wrapped her mammoth 149-date Eras Tour in December, but she hasn't lost the urge to perform. On Monday (June 23), Taylor gave an impromptu performance and made her red carpet debut with her Kansas City Chiefs tight-end boyfriend Travis Kelce at the three-day training event he co-founded. Each year, Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee gets renamed Tight End University as tight-ends network and tighten up their skills. However, this year, the footballers were in for a treat, as the Grammy winner popped up and performance for them. DJ Mike Fresh, who was behind the decks that night, shared to Instagram: "There are Monday fun days, and then there are Monday fun days when Taylor Swift is in the building partying to your set." The couple have been enjoying some lavish dates of late and recently celebrated Taylor buying back the rights to her original master recordings in a landmark US$360 million (S$460 million) deal. Taylor shared the news via a message posted to her official website. She wrote: "I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. "A flashback sequence of all the time I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell this news. "I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now. I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening. I really get to say those words. All of the music I've ever made… now belongs… to me." She now owns her music videos, concert films, unreleased tracks, album art and photography. Taylor also referred to the collection as encompassing "the memories, the magic, the madness, every single era, (her) entire life's work". In 2019, music executive Scooter Braun acquired the masters of Taylor's early discography — Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989 and Reputation — for US$300 million, a move the artist publicly criticised, claiming she was not given the opportunity to purchase them herself. The rights were later sold to the investment firm Shamrock Capital. Taylor began re-recording the albums under her own ownership after signing a deal with Universal Music Group and Republic Records in 2018 before her new ownership deal. [[nid:719477]]

Miley Cyrus fires back after claims of being 'dismissive' towards fans
Miley Cyrus appears to have fired back after claims of being "dismissive" towards fans. The 32-year-old pop star joined supermodel Naomi Campbell for a special vinyl album signing event for her new record Something Beautiful — which features Naomi on the track Every Girl You've Ever Loved — in London over the weekend. A video from the event at record store Rough Trade East shows the two stars chatting amongst themselves behind a table. In the footage, fans can be seen approaching the table from the other side and awkwardly posing for a photo as Miley briefly glances up, smiles and then continues her conversation as they sign the LPs. A fan on Reddit branded Miley "so inconsiderate and dismissive", while others called her "rude". On Tuesday (June 24), the Flowers hitmaker seemed to address the backlash as she shared a professional photo of herself and Naomi at the event, as well as several videos of them smiling and interacting with fans. She wrote on Instagram: "Our vinyl was originally set to drop a week later, but since we were both in London @roughtradeeast made it happen day of. "I wanted to gift my Smilers an exclusive experience and unreleased vinyl to thank you for the love you've shown me in the UK over the years. I saw so many familiar faces and met some sweet new ones. "The record store requested no photos due to the unexpected last minute turn out but we knew the night needed to be captured. "Thank you @vijatm for snapping those in the moment shots. To everyone who came out to celebrate our single, we love you." [embed] Miley recently hit out at the criticism she received earlier in her career when she shunned her Disney Channel persona for a more raunchy image. Asked what she sees when she looks back at her image from 2013, she told the New York Times newspaper: "I see adults not acting like it. I would never look at someone that's 18, 19, 20, 21 years old and judge them as an adult, because they're not yet. "At one point, there was even a petition. It was like 'Millions of Moms Against Miley' or something. "Isn't that crazy, this petition? In 2013, maybe that performance felt really shocking, but when you watch it back, it really wasn't that wild. I was dressed as a teddy bear." [[nid:719375]]
