Suki Waterhouse blames tight pants for hospitalizing her with a hernia

Suki Waterhouse may be swearing off leather pants. The actress and singer revealed she took a step back from social media after getting a hernia from too-tight clothing. "'suki you never tweet anymore' have you ever considered I wore pants so tight 6 months ago it caused a hernia & I've been too scared to tell you," she wrote in a X post Monday, July 14. She followed up the tweet with a photo of the pants in question, a dark pair of leather pants worn while on stage with a white crop top and duster, and a selfie from a hospital bed with an IV in her arm and earbud plugged in. Six months ago, Waterhouse, 33, had just wrapped her Sparklemuffin tour, promoting her 2024 album "Memoir of a Sparklemuffin." Hernias happen when tissue – such as fat, intestines or other organs – protrudes out of a hole in the layers of the abdominal or pelvic wall, according to Oregon Health and Science University. They can develop naturally from birth, stress and strain, traumatic injury or weakness after surgery. While clothing cannot directly cause hernias, it could increase the risk for people with pre-existing weakness by increasing pressure in the abdomen. USA TODAY has reached out to Waterhouse's reps for comment. The "Daisy Jones & the Six" star gave birth to her first child with Robert Pattinson in early 2024. Waterhouse and her daughter went on to grace the August cover of British Vogue, with the actress holding her now 1-year-old. In a since-deleted Instagram post, the singer shared gratitude for her postpartum journey, according to People. "The fourth trimester has been… humbling!" she wrote in April 2024. "the postpartum period has been filled with exhilarating joy, so much laughter, tears, so many hormones! I'm proud of everything my body has achieved and proud of the kindness and grace I've given myself during this recovery period."

Daisy Jones & the Six author tells the story of a woman chosen to train as an astronaut in 1980, and had me hooked from the off

Fiction Taylor Jenkins Reid is probably best known for Daisy Jones & the Six, which was an international bestseller, won numerous awards and became a successful TV series. Atmosphere tells the story of Joan Goodwin, a professor of astrophysics, who is chosen to train as an astronaut in 1980. She loves the stars, 'to look up at the night-time sky is to become a part of a long line of people throughout human history who looked above at the same set of stars'.

From Evelyn Hugo to NASA: Author Taylor Jenkins Reid reaches for the stars

Taylor Jenkins Reid recalls a moment writing her new novel, Atmosphere: A Love Story, set against NASA's robust 1980s shuttle program, where she felt stuck. She went, where she often goes, to her husband to talk it through. "I said, 'I can't write this book. I don't know enough about the space shuttle. I don't know what happens when the payload bay doors won't shut and you have to get back within a certain amount of revs, but they can't land at White Sands. They have to land at Cape Kennedy.' And he's like, 'Just listen to yourself. You know so much more than you knew a couple months ago. Keep doing what you're doing.'" Atmosphere follows astronomer Joan Goodwin, who is selected to join NASA's astronaut program. She and fellow trainees become like family and achieve their dream of going to space - until tragedy strikes. The story unfolds in two timelines: One when Joan first joins the NASA program and the other in December 1984 when a mission goes terribly wrong. The duo behind Captain Marvel, Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, are adapting the book into a film with a cinema release in mind. Reid knew that she had to do more than just her average six to eight weeks of research. Research and rabbit holes, by the way, are Reid's jam. She's written blockbuster novels set in the golden age of Hollywood in The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, the 1970s rock scene in Daisy Jones & the Six, 1980s surf culture in Malibu Rising and professional tennis in Carrie Soto is Back. With Atmosphere, though, it took extra time, reading and understanding. "It feels like a fever dream now when I think about it," Reid said. "It was a very intense period of time. " For this endeavor, she needed assistance: "I had to reach out to people, complete strangers that I did not know and say, 'Will you please help me?'" She was surprised at how many people said yes. One of the most important voices was Paul Dye, NASA's longest-serving flight director. "He spent hours of time with me," Reid said. "He helped me figure out how to cause a lot of mayhem on the space shuttle. He helped figure out exactly how the process of the connection between mission control and the space shuttle work. The book doesn't exist if he hadn't done that." Question: How has writing Atmosphere changed you? REID: I'm really into astronomy. Last Thanksgiving my family took a road trip to the Grand Canyon. I routed us through Scottsdale, Arizona, because I wanted to go to a dark sky park. Because of light pollution, we can only see the brightest stars when we go out and look at the night sky in a major city. Whereas when you go to a dark sky park there is very limited man-made light. So you can see more stars. We got there and it was cloudy. I was beside myself. The next night we got to the Grand Canyon and all the clouds had disappeared and you could see everything. I stood there for hours. I was teary-eyed. I can't emphasise enough: If anyone has any inclination to just go outside and look up at the night sky, it's so rewarding. Q: Last year you left social media. Where are you at with it now? REID: I didn't realise how much social media was creating so many messages in my head of, you're not good enough. You should be better. You should work harder. You should have a prettier home. You should make a better dinner. And when I stopped going on it, very quickly I started to hear my own voice clearer. It was so much easier to be in touch with what I thought, how I felt, what I valued. I was more in touch with myself but also I'm going out into the world and I'm looking up at the sky and I am seeing where I am in relation to everything around me and I starting to understand how small my life is compared to the scale of the universe. Q: Serena Williams is executive producing Carrie Soto for a series at Netflix. Did you meet her? REID: Yes. It's the only time I've been starstruck. I was in my bones, nervous. I had to talk to myself like, "Taylor, slow down your heart rate." The admiration I have for her as an athlete but also as a human is immense. The idea that I might have written something that she felt captured anything worth her time, is a great honor. And the fact that she's coming on board to help us make it the most authentic story we possibly can, I'm thrilled. It's one thing for me to pretend I know what it's like to be standing at Flushing Meadows and win the US Open. Serena knows. She's done it multiple times. And so as we render that world, I think it is going to be really, really special because we have Serena and her team to help us. Q: Now for your favorite question. What's up with the Evelyn Hugo movie? REID: There's not much that I am allowed to say but a lot of times I think people mistake me not saying anything as a lack of interest or focus and that's not the case. Everyone is working incredibly hard to get this movie made and everyone knows that there is a lot of pressure to get it exactly right. We're all hard at work. We're taking it very seriously and I give Netflix so much credit because they have such an immense respect for the readership of that book. They want to make them happy. AP/AAP Love books? Us too!

How to have the best Sunday in L.A., according to Taylor Jenkins Reid

There are many factors that led Taylor Jenkins Reid to choose space as the backdrop of her new novel, 'Atmosphere,' a thrilling love story set at NASA in the 1980s. One may very well have been her L.A. commute. Specifically, her journey along the Dr. Sally Ride Memorial Highway, a portion of the 101 Freeway in Encino. 'I am sure that it worked its way into my subconscious,' Reid says. 'It was there waiting for me because I've driven by that sign so many times.' So much of Encino and the Valley inspires Reid, the author of a shining repertoire of bestselling novels including 'Daisy Jones & the Six' and 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.' She talks about the hikes, the views and the charming restaurants that have stood for generations. Here's how she'd spend a perfect day in L.A. with her husband, Alex Jenkins Reid, and their 8-year-old daughter, Lilah. 8 a.m. Wake up and grab a book Everybody in my house is reading in bed. I am reading 'Harlem Rhapsody' by Victoria Christopher Murray. I have been late multiple mornings now because of how much I'm enjoying it. It's like, 'Oh, sorry, I was reading.' My kid does the same thing. She and I will both be like, 'Wait, it's already 7:40? You're supposed to be in school!' But both of us are reading. 9:30 a.m.: A place where everybody knows your name My family and I love to go to this small diner in the Valley called Millie's. It's a no-frills place, but the food is so good and my husband's family has been going there for at least 30 years. The server always remembers my husband's grandpa and asks how his grandma's doing and how his mom is doing and his brothers are doing. It has such a lovely small-town feel to it. Also, the tortilla soup is incredibly good. It's, like, one of my favorite things 10:30 a.m.: Hit the trailAfter that, I inevitably will try to bribe my daughter into a hike. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The thing is, she actually does love to hike and just forgets that she does. Where I love to go — and I have not been able to because of the fires — is the Upper Canyonback Trailhead [temporarily closed] in Encino Hills. There are two ways you can go. If you go to the left, there's a really great view of the city. You can see down to Century City and even downtown on a clear day. And the hills are gorgeous. But if you go to the right, you can see the Encino Reservoir and eventually you get to a decommissioned Nike missile silo. We make a game-time decision. Noon: A bookstore afternoon Then I have to make good on the way that I bribed my kid and one of her favorite things to do is go to Vroman's in Pasadena. It has one of the best children's book sections in Los Angeles — it takes up half of their second floor. She'll grab a bunch of books, I will have grabbed books from downstairs and we'll be sitting on a bench reading them. And you know, my husband's like, 'Dude, would you like to leave and actually pay for these?' 2 p.m.: Hop around Old Town Pasadena Not that far from Vroman's, there's this intersection that has so many things that all of us like. Motto Tea Cafe serves Japanese soufflé-style pancakes. They're so fluffy! My daughter normally gets the plain ones with the Nutella cream on top. This place is often quite packed, so we order in advance. Then there's this ice cream place called Kinrose Creamery that is unbelievable. They indulged me by letting me try basically every flavor. They have a sour cherry with candy floss that is unlike anything I've ever had. And there's a park near there, Central Park, that is really beautiful and has a very expansive playground area. And so my kid will go play for a little while. 3:30 p.m.: Indulge an obsession On the walk back to our car, I will go to Farrow & Ball and just look at paint colors. I'm completely obsessed with paint colors, so I make my family go pretty often. I never have a reason to be there. When the person is like, 'How can I help you? Are you looking to paint something?' I'm like, 'No, I just want to look at paint colors.' They've got great names for all their paint — I could probably name them all for you, literally. The ones I have in my house: Dead Salmon, Skimming Stone, Wimborne White. My daughter and I have become obsessed with a very pretty coral-y orange called Naperon. Both of us are like, 'We have to paint something Naperon!' There's a woman who is the color curator for Farrow & Ball and her name is Joa Studholme. She's the only person that is famous to me and my daughter. She makes these videos where she's talking about why they came up with a paint color and my kid and I will just watch them four different times. 5:30 p.m.: Best pasta ever Every Sunday night, we eat takeout from Lido Pizza. Doesn't matter the fanciest place I've ever been to — this is the best pasta. I love it so much. And there's something about their salad dressing that is exactly what my taste buds want in a salad dressing. I have gone so far as to order a full jug of it for my house. It's such a humble, unassuming place. We've been taking my daughter there since she was a baby. When the movie 'Booksmart' came out, we were watching it and saw that a whole scene takes place in the Lido parking lot. We eat there every single Sunday night, and at this point, they have to just know the call is coming sometime around 5:30. 7:45 p.m.: The 'Goodnight Special' My daughter gets into bed and reads for an hour. During that time, my husband and I will watch an episode of something — lately, we've been watching 'The Studio.' Then when it's time to go to bed, she comes out of her bedroom and asks for the 'Goodnight Special.' It's when I hold her for a minute and sing to her. She called it that just one day. She was like, 'I need the 'Goodnight Special.'' I was like, 'I think I know what you mean by that.' And then my husband and I will go to bed around 10:30.
