Besides being one of the most popular footballers of the moment thanks to the goal that gave Spain victory against the Argentine national team in the football World Cup final, Ferran Torres has also inspired the Oceanogràfic of Valencia, the largest aquarium in the European Union, to name one of its sandbar sharks, of the species carcharhinus plumbeus. The decision was made in recognition of the footballer's connection with marine conservation and to raise public awareness about the importance of protecting these cartilaginous-bodied, rough-skinned fish. "We want to reinforce the message that these animals are emblematic and indispensable for the functioning of ecosystems," the institution states in a press release.

"I want to live with Luis for the next 30 years, even if the last ones are, as they popularly say, with a bit of a struggle", assured the Catalan journalist Susanna Griso – presenter of the morning magazine Espejo público on Antena 3 – shortly after announcing her wedding to the businessman and economist from Madrid, Luis Enríquez. Although they have known each other for more than two decades, it wasn't until a year and a half ago that the two friends became a couple, and they have chosen the Costa Brava as the setting for the double celebration of their wedding.

She was unique in life and also after death. This would be the sentence that summarizes the figure of the Duchess of Kent, Katherine Worsley by birth, Kate to most of those who knew her throughout her long life. She was related to the most central core of the Windsor family since she married in 1961 the Duke of Kent, grandson of King George V and a prince with the consideration of royal highness who, besides being Duke, was also Earl of St Andrews and Baron Downpatrick. Her presence in this controversial and problematic family was always valued. And this, despite representing what for a large part of the aristocracy at the time was a sacrilege: a commoner in the palace!

For some time now, footballers have stopped being simply athletes to become style icons, very often through association with renowned fashion brands. But finding the perfect styling is not an easy task, and it's most common for celebrities, when dressing, to receive advice from expert professionals who know much more about fashion than they do. Lamine Yamal, Barça's great star and one of the standout footballers of the 2026 World Cup, has also decided to rely on someone external to choose the pieces for his wardrobe. The chosen one to advise him is a person almost as well-known as he is, Pilar Vila, Rosalía's sister.

It was expected news but no less happy for that. Joan Manuel Serrat is now a great-grandfather twice over. This Thursday Luna Serrat, granddaughter of the Noi del Poble-sec, and Real Madrid player Dani Ceballos announced the birth of their twins via Instagram. The couple shared a carousel of three black and white photographs on the social network in which the newborns can be seen. The images are accompanied by Alejandro Sanz's song La fuerza del corazón.

Singer Julio Iglesias has filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court against the second vice-president of the Spanish government, Yolanda Díaz, for "illegitimate interference with the right to honor and personal privacy", due to publications about the singer that Díaz made on her Bluesky account; and requests that she compensate him with 50,000 euros for moral damages.

Nobody would have thought that the quarrel between the eldest son of Princess Mette-Marit of Norway and his girlfriend would end up leading to the most serious judicial affair the Scandinavian country's monarchy has ever faced. In August 2024, what was initially interpreted as a domestic dispute involving Marius Borg Hoiby soon led to an assault complaint, which was not the last. That incident, which initially interested the gossip press more than anything else, later became an international political issue with the four consecutive arrests of the young man, who was then 26 years old. Each step of the investigation further revealed the seriousness of everything that had been happening within the Norwegian royal family with Hoiby. The young man is not formally a member of the monarchy, but since he was four years old, when his mother married the heir to the throne, Haakon, he has lived as if he were part of the royal family.

Miami police have found dead Micheal-Anthony Espino, dancer for the Catalan artist in 2022 and 2023 during the world tour of the album Motomami and also for Rauw Alejandro. The young man disappeared on Sunday, July 12 at 12:30 PM in South Florida, wearing a camouflage shirt, black shorts, and black shoes.

Gilda Love, considered the longest-lived drag queen in the State, died at the age of 100 this Sunday in Barcelona, according to sources close to the artist. Born in Cadiz as Eduardo Enrique Gustavo, the drag queen became an icon in the seventies in Raval cabarets. In recent years, Gilda Love had appeared little in public, but her legacy remains current in the world of drag.The artist began her career at the Madame Arthur cabaret in Paris, where she adopted the name of the mythical character from the film Gilda, played by actress Rita Hayworth. After her time in the French capital, Gilda Love revolutionized the Raval with her performances in emblematic venues such as El Cangrejo. In a Barcelona of lights, cabarets, and showgirls, Gilda Love defied all the obstacles she had to live through during Francoism due to her dissident sexual identity. The drag-queen also shared the stage with icons such as Carmen Picot, known as La Wernof, or Carmen de Mairena.In 2022, filmmaker Enric Ribes immortalized the cabaret artist in a documentary titled Cantando en las azoteas, a tribute to the artist's long and difficult career, which, according to critic Paula Arantzazu Ruiz in ARA, "elegantly sidesteps nostalgia (...) to address the domestic, professional, and family profile of the elderly drag artist". Ribes himself explained in an interview with Cinemanía that he wanted to give "visibility to old age in the LGBTI community", and that the documentary's objective was "to pay tribute to the many Gildes who have existed, who have always been underestimated".The drag queen Briggita Lamoure has lamented the loss of Gilda Love, stating that "thanks to Gilda and other pioneers," she can now dedicate herself "in freedom to transmitting the values of diversity in art." This year, the artist's hometown, San Fernando, has created the Gilda Love award to recognize the contribution of people who defend the rights of the LGBTIQ+ community; in fact, the award in this first edition has gone precisely to Gilda Love, as was announced just a few days ago coinciding with Pride celebrations."}

There is an entire generation that if you say to them "If you wanna be my lover" they will automatically and inevitably answer "you gotta get with my friends". And this is thanks to the Spice Girls, who this week celebrated thirty years since they turned the world upside down with their triumphant appearance: a single called Wannabe. They were the dose of modernity that pop needed at the time. A group of empowered friends –when no one used this adjective yet– singing an ode to friendship and to putting a stop to sexism. All this in a dance-pop format and with a whole associated British aesthetic that was then synonymous with fresh exoticism.

Eternal and tireless, the Rolling Stones continue to give war after 64 years of musical career. The band organized a drone show on the River Thames as it passed through London on Wednesday to present Foreign tongues, their new album, which is released this July 10th. This is the Stones' twenty-fifth studio album and the second after the death of Charlie Watts. Mick Jagger and Ronnie Wood were the hosts of a party at the Hotel St. Clement which was attended by personalities such as actor Daniel Craig, actress Rachel Weisz, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen and former tennis player John McEnroe.

Exactly one year ago, in July 2025, tennis player Paula Badosa and her then-boyfriend, also tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas, broke up for good. And it's worth emphasizing the latter because their love story had always been marked by ups and downs. By highs and lows that sooner or later they always managed to resolve, until last summer, when the decision was firm. The magazine ¡Hola!, to which they had granted an unprecedented report to talk about their love story in October 2024, confirmed the breakup, citing sources close to the couple and in which the media had full informational confidence.

The wedding of Taylor Swift with Travis Kelce reminds me of the case of the typical choni who wins the lottery and, instead of changing habits, opening their mind and looking for new references – even if it's just to try... – does the same thing but on a large scale. If before she went to Stradivarius and bought polyurethane boots that peel on their own for her closet, now that she's gotten rich, what she does is go back to buy the same boots but in all colors. Because for her, resources imply quantity, not quality.

Since Shakira broke up with Gerard Piqué, the singer's romantic life has always been one of the topics that have generated the most intrigue worldwide. While in his case we soon got out of doubt with Clara Chia, in her case there have been hints, but no confirmations whatsoever. In any case, the four years –yes, it's already been four!, since the beginning of June– that this couple ended their 12-year relationship have been eventful, and finally, it seems the artist has found a moment to stop billing and start creating new content for a hypothetical future album.

Wedding bells are ringing in the world of entertainment, but also in sports. Taylor Swift is preparing her wedding to NFL player Travis Kelce, and it seems that it has surpassed the place where one of the most anticipated events of the year could be held. It would be none other than Madison Square Garden in New York, the arena where the New York Knicks, recent NBA champions, play and where the biggest global music stars perform. The New York Times has been able to confirm that the pop superstar has rented the iconic venue for the July 4th weekend.

Alexis, one of the participants of La gran cita, the reality show from 3Cat to find a partner presented by Dulceida, confessed on El suplement on Catalunya Ràdio that he works as a gigolo. "I tried it and I loved it. I haven't talked about it because people can't imagine what it's like, the people you meet and the experiences you have. And I'll do it again, because it has taught me a lot of things," he defended.

It has always struck me as surprising the stance of those people who are firmly against the tabloid reporters of the gossip press, who ask celebrities questions on the street. People who argue that society in general and the media in particular should "let celebrities live." The truth is that when I see them so worked up against the gossip press, I think how I wish there was a way to suddenly and completely make the fame of these so-hunted celebrities disappear. It would be very, very funny to see how, perhaps a month after failing to make a living on their own by any chance and not feeling recognized anywhere, they would do anything to regain their lost status. They would beg to get back the unbearable company of the paparazzi.

Leo Messi's family confirmed this Thursday that Jorge Messi, the Argentine footballer's father, has been admitted to the hospital for a health problem about which no details have been disclosed. In a statement, the family environment indicated that he is "under medical supervision, recovering and evolving favorably within the framework he presents," the family said.

Nacho Duato, one of the most prominent figures in Spanish contemporary dance and former artistic director of the Compañía Nacional de Danza between 1990 and 2010, explained in an interview on the program Cara al show, on La Sexta, an episode he experienced when he was 17 years old, upon arriving in Madrid to start his career as a dancer. He explained it during his visit to the program presented by Marc Giró, where he detailed an attempted sexual assault and a subsequent physical assault by an actor now deceased and, according to him, "very famous".

Lydia Rodríguez has put an end to her time at Presuntos Implicadosafter 17 years as the group's vocalist. The singer, who joined the band in 2008 after Sole Giménez's departure, has announced through a statement on social media that she is leaving the music group due to "extreme control" over her physique, "mistreatment" to which she considers her bandmates complicit. In the statement, Rodríguez assures that what was projected on stage had nothing to do with what was lived behind the scenes.
