Jamie Foxx is feeling the love from his fans.

On Wednesday, 3 weeks after his family revealed that he was hospitalized due to a medical complication, the Oscar winner, 55, wrote on Instagram: "Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed."

Over on his IG Story, he also gave a shoutout to Nick Cannon for filling in on his hosting duties for the upcoming season of Beat Shazam: "Appreciate ya my boy @nickcannon. See u all soon."

His daughter Corinne wrote on her Instagram Story while sharing her dad's post, "Thanks for the love!"

On April 12, Corinne, 29, announced in a statement on Instagram that her dad had "experienced a medical complication" the day prior. He was in Atlanta filming the Netflix movie Back in Action, which also stars Cameron Diaz & Glenn Close & is directed by Seth Gordon.

Corinne shared at the time that "due to quick action & great care," Foxx was "on his way to recovery" at that point. 

Multiple sources had told PEOPLE that Foxx was steadily improving as he worked toward recovery in a Georgia medical facility.

Production on the Netflix movie resumed soon after. He was last seen filming on April 10. Due to his hospitalization, one stunt double stood in for Foxx & a second individual served as his photo double.

ATLANTA (ABC7) -- A man who died in a bedbug-infested cell in a Georgia jail's psychiatric wing "died due to severe neglect," according to an independent autopsy released Monday by lawyers for his family.

Lashawn Thompson, 35, died in September, 3 months after he was booked into the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta. Public outrage over his death spread last month after a lawyer for his family, Michael Harper, released photos of Thompson's face & body covered in insects.

The independent autopsy report lists the cause of death as "Complications due to Severe Neglect," with "Untreated Decompensated Schizophrenia" identified as a contributing cause.

A combination of dehydration, rapid weight loss & malnutrition, complicated by untreated decompensated schizophrenia led to a fatal cardiac arrythmia, the report says. Because he did not receive necessary medical care or adequate food, water & shelter, his manner of death is homicide.

An earlier report from the Fulton County medical examiner's office found no obvious signs of trauma on Thompson's body but noted a "severe bed bug infestation." It lists his cause of death as "undetermined."

The new autopsy "confirms that this is one of the most deplorable in-custody deaths in the history of America," said prominent civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who represents the family.

Thompson had lost 32 pounds, or about 18% of his body weight, during his 3 months at the Fulton County Jail & showed evidence of dehydration, the report says. In addition to an "innumerable number of insects" all over his body, his hands, feet, fingernails & toenails were filthy, it says.

Medical records from the jail indicate that Thompson received his last dose of the medications he'd been prescribed for his mental health issues 32 days before his death.

The independent autopsy was paid for by the Autopsy Initiative of the Know Your Rights Camp, an initiative started by former NFL star & activist Colin Kaepernick.

In this clip, Nicholas Irving talks about his service as a special operations sniper in the 3rd Ranger Battalion for the U.S. Army before explaining how the birth of his son helped calm him down and change his demeanor from the self-described "hothead" he once was. He also talks about being bullied in high school and how his attitude changed after he shot someone, in the service of his country, for the first time. He promised himself that he would never get picked on again. Elsewhere in the conversation, Nicholas reveals that his parents were also in the service and they both worked in the Army (Counter Intelligence), before stating that was graduated high school with a 1.70 GPA because he was constantly getting into fights at school. Lastly, he explains that his father was the disciplinarian of his household and both of his parents were very religious during his childhood.

At least 1 notable group is calling for the UFC’s parent company to remove Dana White as its president.

The California Legislative Women’s Caucus shared a letter it wrote to Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel on Monday in which it called on the company to remove White as UFC president after video surfaced of White slapping his wife at a nightclub on New Year’s Eve in Mexico.

“The head of a major sporting organization cannot claim to be for the safety of women while a video of him striking his wife continues to circulate online without a response from you,” the letter read, in part. “The hypocrisy is astounding. Enough is enough. It is time to remove Mr. White from his leadership role, to allow him & his partner to get the help they need while reminding the world of what Endeavor stands for and that violence against women is not a conduct that you condone.”

The bipartisan group is made up of 17 state Senators & 32 state Assemblywomen. Senator Nancy Skinner serves as the group’s chair. Assemblywoman Cecilia Aguiar-Curry is the vice chair.

White admitted to slapping his wife on New Year’s Eve after video obtained by TMZ showed the incident at a Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, area nightclub. White’s wife is seen with her head in her hands before slapping White in the face. White then slapped his wife in the face shortly before the situation dissolved and the video ended.

“There was definitely a lot of alcohol, but there’s no excuse,” White said on TMZ. “I’m literally making no excuses for this thing at all. It’s never happened before. It’s the first time that it’s ever happened, and people are going to say what they’re going to say. It is what it is. And whatever people do say, it’s deserved. I deserve it. It happened.”

As a result of the incident, TBS postponed the debut of White’s new Power Slapping League by a week. White then promoted the league’s debut Monday in a rather tone-deaf tweet.

Endeavor, like broadcast partner ESPN, has so far declined to comment on White’s incident.

3 security force members have died in clashes in the state of Sinaloa after the arrest of a son of notorious Mexican drug kingpin "El Chapo".

Ovidio Guzmán-López, nicknamed "The Mouse" is the leader of his dad's former cartel - was captured in Culiacán.

Furious gang members set up road blocks, set fire to vehicles & attacked a local airport.

2 planes were hit by gunfire - one while preparing to take off.

More than 100 flights were cancelled at 3 Sinaloa airports.

US President Joe Biden is due to visit Mexico for a North American leaders' summit next week. He will now arrive on Sunday.

The US state department says Guzman & his brother Joaquín are currently overseeing approximately 11 methamphetamine labs in the state of Sinaloa, producing an estimated 3,000-5,000lb of the drug per month.

They have also said that information indicates Mr Guzmán-López ordered the murders of informants, a drug trafficker & a popular Mexican singer who refused to sing at his wedding.

In December, the US announced a reward of up to $5m for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of Mr Guzmán-López & 3 of his brothers.

NEW YORK (AP) — Sex toys & shoes? Try, sex toys IN shoes.

A little streetwear label has partnered with a giant in the adult toy industry to create a shoe derived in part from unused, defective amusements that come off the manufacturing line as misfits.

Looking a lot like Merrell’s popular Hydro Moc or Yeezy’s Foam Runners, Plastic Soul is about 15% sex toy. The rest is non-bleach EVA, a petroleum-based foam that’s difficult to recycle.

The shoe is the brainchild of David Teitelbaum, founder of Rose in Good Faith & Chad Braverman, chief operating officer for Doc Johnson, the adult toy company his father founded in 1976.

“Personally, I love shoes. So it was a cool product, a really interesting way to get Doc Johnson on board with something that I would never ever do,” Braverman said.

Teitelbaum is a collaboration king with elevated Ed Hardy, Lil Peep & Juice Wrld hoodies, T-shirts & other merch under his belt. Before the pandemic, he was looking for something new. He met with an adult film company, which put him on to Doc Johnson.

“Something like 28% of the sales are going to women,” Teitelbaum said. “We’re hitting an interesting narrative. I think there’s a deeper connection.”

The online feedback has been mixed, Teitelbaum said.

“A lot of it has been, ‘You look like Yeezy, go (expletive) yourself,’” he said. “But we also get so much love.”

NEW YORK (AP) — The spread of monkeypox in the U.S. could represent the dawn of a new sexually transmitted disease, though some health officials say the virus that causes pimple-like bumps might yet be contained before it gets firmly established.

Experts don’t agree on the likely path of the disease, with some fearing that it is becoming so widespread that it is on the verge of becoming an entrenched STD — like gonorrhea, herpes & HIV.

But no one’s really sure & some say testing & vaccines can still stop the outbreak from taking root.

So far, more than 2,800 U.S. cases have been reported as part of an international outbreak that emerged 2 months ago. About 99% have been men who reported having sex with other men.

Health officials are not sure how fast the virus has spread.

With such huge question marks, predictions about how big the U.S. outbreak will get this summer vary widely, from 13,000 to perhaps more than 10 times that number.

Monkeypox is endemic in parts of Africa, where people have been infected through bites from rodents or small animals. It does not usually spread easily among people.

But this year more than 15,000 cases have been reported in countries that historically don’t see the disease.

It spreads mainly through skin-to-skin contact, but it can also be transmitted through linens used by someone with monkeypox.

Symptoms include fever, body aches, chills, fatigue & the bumps on parts of the body. The illness has been relatively mild in many men & no one has died in the U.S. But people can be contagious for weeks & the lesions can be extremely painful.

The United States is discussing the deployment of American military forces to Eastern Europe with its NATO allies, a senior administration official said Monday, as President Joe Biden weighs options for responding to Russian threats against Ukraine.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has placed 8,500 troops on “heightened alert” to assist with the defense of NATO allies, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said during a news briefing Monday. He said no deployment orders have been given.

"I want to reinforce that as of now, the decision has been made to put these units on higher alert and higher alert only," said Kirby. "No decisions have been made to deploy forces from the United States at this time."

With Moscow massing more than 100,000 troops at its neighbor's border and no diplomatic breakthrough in sight, the West is stepping up its response amid mounting fears an invasion could be imminent.

Conversations are underway with NATO countries that could receive U.S. military forces as part of a plan to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression, the official said.

NATO said Monday that it was sending ships and fighter jets to Eastern Europe and that Washington “has also made clear that it is considering increasing its military presence in the eastern part of the Alliance.”

Biden participated in a roughly 90-minute video conference with European leaders Monday afternoon to discuss Russia’s military buildup on Ukraine’s borders, the White House said. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Polish President Andrzej Duda, French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi and other leaders participated in the call.

Following the video conference, Biden told reporters it was a "very, very, very good meeting," adding that there was "total unanimity with all the European leaders." The president said he would have more to say on the issue later.

In a statement, the White House said Biden and European leaders "reiterated their continued concern about the Russian military build-up on Ukraine’s borders and expressed their support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity."

The White House said the leaders "underscored their shared desire for a diplomatic resolution" and also discussed "their joint efforts to deter further Russian aggression against Ukraine."

Biden was briefed by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Saturday about U.S. options for responding if Russia invades Ukraine, as well as options for U.S. military movements in advance of an invasion, according to a defense official and a senior administration official.

Among the options presented for the U.S. military in advance of an invasion were bomber flights over the region, ship visits into the Black Sea and the moving of troops and some equipment from other parts of Europe into Poland, Romania and other countries neighboring Ukraine.

Former NBA center Shawn Bradley suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury that left him paralyzed, according to a statement released on his behalf by the Dallas Mavericks.

On Jan. 20, Bradley was struck from behind by an automobile while riding his bicycle a block from his home in St. George, Utah. He underwent neck fusion surgery & has spent the past eight weeks hospitalized & undergoing rehabilitation.

"With his wife Carrie at his side around the clock & supported by an amazing team of rehabilitation specialists & family, Bradley is in good spirits," the statement read, in part. "He plans to use his accident as a platform to bring greater public awareness to the importance of bicycle safety."

The 7-foot-6 Bradley, 48, was the No. 2 overall pick in the 1993 draft, selected by the Philadelphia 76ers after spending two years on a Mormon mission following his freshman year at BYU. He averaged 8.1 points, 6.3 rebounds & 2.5 blocks during his 12-season NBA career, spending the past eight & a half years with the Dallas Mavericks.

"We are saddened to hear of Shawn's accident," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said in the statement. "Shawn has always been incredibly determined & shown a fighting spirit. We wish him nothing but the best in his recovery. He will always be a part of our Mavs family."
