Michael Buble’s wife says their 3-year-old son, Noah, is “well” following treatment for cancer in Los Angeles.

Speaking at a press conference Monday in her native Argentina, actress, Luisana Lopilato said in Spanish that Noah has a long recovery ahead of him. She says the experience has made her value life more.

The family last shared an update on Noah in February, when they said he was progressing well in his battle against the disease.

The family announced Noah’s cancer in November. They didn’t say what type of cancer he has or when he was diagnosed.

The couple also has another son, Elias, who turned 1 earlier this year.

Buble is a Grammy-winning singer whose albums include Come Fly with Me and Caught in the Act.

Caitlyn Jenner has surgery

NEW YORK — Caitlyn Jenner says she has undergone genital surgery, two years after the Olympic-winning decathlete announced she had transitioned to a woman.

Jenner, 67, one of the most-high profile American transgender woman, says in an upcoming memoir that she had the surgery in January, and that she decided to go public “so all of you can stop staring.”

“You want to know, so now you know. Which is why this is the first time, and the last time, I will ever speak of it,” Jenner wrote in leaked excerpts of her memoir The Secrets of My Life.

Jenner announced her new identity in an April, 2015, TV interview and announced her change of name from Bruce to Caitlyn in a July 2015 Vanity Fair cover shoot. Jenner, the step-father of reality stars Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian, later had her own TV reality show that documented her transition.

Secret messages in comic

The X-Men have battled evil mutants, killer robots, and alien invaders, but now one of the most venerable franchises in the Marvel universe has found itself embroiled in a new — and unexpected — conflict: the religious and political tensions in Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim-majority nation.

On Saturday, Marvel said that it would remove artwork from the first issue of X-Men Gold, part of a reboot of the X-Men franchise, after readers in Indonesia raised alarm bells on Reddit and elsewhere on social media about what they said were anti-Christian and anti-Semitic messages in some panels of the comic.

The messages that jumped out to readers in Indonesia appeared to refer to political frictions there over Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, who is the first Christian governor of Jakarta, the capital, in more than 50 years. He is up for re-election this month.

In one panel of the comic, Colossus, an X-Men character, is wearing a shirt with “QS 5:51” on it. Indonesian readers said that was a reference to a verse in the Quran that Basuki’s opponents have used to argue that Christians and Jews cannot be trusted. 

Last year, Basuki was charged with blasphemy for speaking of that verse in a way that some viewed as disrespectful.

In another panel, the number “212” appears on a store front. Readers in Indonesia said that was a reference to a large anti-Basuki protest held by conservative Islamist groups in Jakarta in December.

Shopping trip turns violent

JACKSON, Miss. — At first, it was a rap star on a spring break shopping jaunt on a Mississippi Sunday afternoon. 

Then, cellphone video shows a security guard pepper spraying rapper Boosie Badazz and his entourage after he told them to leave the Polo Ralph Lauren section of a department store. Finally, police say it was five people attacking the security guard and a Biloxi police officer outside the department store moments later.

Biloxi Police Lt. Christopher De Back said three men face felony assault charges, while two juveniles were also arrested after the mall melee, sparked by what officers said was a disorderly crowd following the rapper.

Formerly known as Lil Boosie, he had performed in Biloxi Saturday night. The Mississippi Gulf Coast was crowded with what police said were as many as 60,000 tourists attending Black Beach Weekend, an annual magnet for young African-Americans from throughout the South. Edgewater Mall, where the incident took place, is a focus for crowds.

De Back said the guard pepper sprayed at least one person as he sought to eject a crowd from a Dillard’s department store. De Back said he didn’t know if the Louisiana rapper, born Torence Hatch, was sprayed, but cellphone videos posted by local media show Boosie within a few feet of the officer when he sprays the chemical agent.
