Jessie J checked in with her Twitter followers (@JessieJ) on Sunday, reacting to today’s London Marathon, the first major marathon since Monday’s terrorism marred Boston Marathon, where three people died and more than one hundred injured in twin bombings. The pop star, who still is having issues related to her broken foot sustained in 2011 while rehearsing at the Capital Radio Summertime Ball, writes:

I am so inspired by everyone who runs the marathon. The dedication and passion and to all of those raising money for a charity of their choice. Absolutely incredible, I hope one day my foot lets me do it. Good luck to everyone. My thoughts and love are with you x

Jessie J spoke with Grazia magazine about criticism she’s received for tour rider demands, insisting that her requests didn’t include anything that was outrageous. “No champagne. No yoga mats or anything. That was meant to be one of my diva demands. I did ask for a scented candle. I don’t think it’s too much to ask for a nice, relaxing smell in the room,” the 24-year-old said. “I also asked for a lava lamp. When I was a kid, they used to have a room at Great Ormond Street Hospital where you’d go and chill out. It was full of lava lamps and water lamps and since then it’s always been a way to help me wind down. I never got one, and that’s OK. But is there anything wrong with asking for what you know is good for you? Does that make you a diva, a pain? Or does it make you someone who knows what they want?”

Jessie J revealed to Chris Moyles on his Radio 1 show that she will be one of the four coaches on the new BBC program ‘The Voice’. The show will launch spring 2012 on BBC One. “It’s all about the voice. I love the idea of being a coach and a mentor and not a judge,” the 23-year-old tells Newsbeat. “I wanted to be involved. They approached me and I was well up for it.”
