Hilary Duff - The Lucky Me Tour
Has anyone here done the meet and greet? I'm tempted to buy one. The only thing that's putting me off is the group photo… I'd pay the price 100% if it was solo but this is putting me off. Is she taking photos with smaller groups now?

Jesy Nelson reveals daughters aren't doing well & one requires surgery every 6 months
Jesy Nelson has revealed that one of her twin daughters has received another diagnosis, on top of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Yesterday, Jesy welcomed plans for testing to screen newborn babies for the rare genetic condition in a major breakthrough after months of campaigning. Speaking to the Daily Mail, the 35-year-old also revealed that one of the twins, Story, had been diagnosed with scoliosis, where the spine twists and curves to the side. She told the publication: 'And then Story, she's got scoliosis and she's going to have to eventually have an operation on her spine, and she'll have to have that done every six months.' The singer got emotional and admitted: 'There's just so much that I don't think people even know goes on but that's why I wanted to make this documentary [Jesy Nelson: Life Changing] because I feel like it only gives a small insight into what families have to go through on a daily basis.' After learning all babies born in England will now be tested for SMA at birth, Jesy said she 'can't stop crying'. But she also said that the historic change was 'bittersweet' as her daughters are 'not great'. The 35-year-old said her twins' future is uncertain as medics are still assessing how much of their muscles died off before they were diagnosed late and then treated. Speaking to The Sun, Jesy discussed Ocean and Story's most recent three-month review at St Ormond Street's Children's Hospital where doctors warned that the girls were not responding to the treatment how they had hoped. 'Unfortunately, some of the numbers have gone down,' she said. 'We had a long discussion and there's a possibility they may have to go back on treatment, which is just heartbreaking. Jesy's new documentary "Jesy Nelson: Life Changing" focused on SMA is out now on Prime Video. God give her a break.

- Jesy Nelson's campaigning leads to screening for SMA across the whole of England
Incredible news, Jesy has been campaigning for this and attended Parliament recently to push for this 👏 — ALL babies in England will get free NHS tests for the muscle wasting disease suffered by Jesy Nelson's twins following a campaign by the Little Mix star. In a breakthrough rule change, screening for spinal muscular atrophy will be added to the newborn blood spot test from October. The Department of Health announced on Thursday that the national newborn screening programme for SMA will be rolled out across England as part of an evaluation programme from the end of this year. Hundreds of thousands of babies will be screened as part of the simple heel prick blood test shortly after birth. Nelson said: "After years of campaigning, it means so much to see the heel prick test for SMA begin rolling out from October, with implementation continuing throughout 2027 until every newborn screening laboratory across the UK is offering the test. "Today is a day of hope. "Knowing that future families will have access to early diagnosis and the opportunity for the best possible outcomes is something I'm incredibly proud to have supported. "This is a victory for every family affected by SMA. Whilst it can't change the future of our children, I know it marks the beginning of a brighter future for future SMA families." SMA UK, the charity which Jesy is a Patron of have also posted about the news: This achievement belongs to the entire SMA community. To every family who has shared their experiences, every healthcare professional who has championed early diagnosis, every researcher who has generated theevidence, every policymaker who has listened, every partner organisation to has campaigned alongside us and every supporter who has stood alongside us, thank you. We are also grateful to Jesy Nelson for helping to shine a spotlight on SMA and the importance of newborn screening. Her willingness to share her family's experience has helped raise awareness among the wider public and has added an important voice to a campaign that has been driven by the SMA community, clinicians, researchers and supporters over many years.- Hilary Duff - 'luck… or something'
omg I'm so jealous of those that witnessed this!- Little Mix stylist commends Perrie for speaking out, says Jesy was a mess
Jesy's said multiple times since she left the group she was horrible to be around because of how unhappy she was and her issues. This is old news. It's literally a pile on at this point (not saying from Perrie) but the people that constantly mock her. She's a human being, leave her alone.- What Pop Girls collaboration would shook you the most?

Chris posted: As a kid growing up in England, Britney Spears was the soundtrack to so many moments. Never in a million years did I think I'd one day be standing behind the chair (or in this case her standing behind mine, lol) styling her hair. Some moments really do come full circle. She is not only an icon, but one of the most genuinely kind and gentle souls I've ever met.- Pop songs with an unusual structure/time signature?
