Halle Berry has had the misfortune of having her name associated with a phenomenon that is not exactly positive. Just as it happened to Barbra Streisand with the Streisand effect—which consists of making so many efforts to hide something from the public eye that, with the commotion, you end up catching the attention of more people than if you had made no effort to hide it—she has given her name to the Halle Berry effect. This is used to describe the plummeting prestige of actors and actresses who, after winning an Oscar, begin to make poor professional decisions and end up squandering in a short time the enormous admiration they had garnered with the statuette.

Traditionally, artists who earned a living performing concerts at local town festivals tended to bite their tongues on political issues. Taking a public stance could lead some vengeful mayors not to hire them for the festivals in the towns they governed, and this could harm them greatly. That is why in a Spain where the musical offer is vast, the market is limited, and city councils are very important hiring agents, it is so common for artists—with some exceptions...—to have always been very politically discreet.

Woody Allen is in Madrid to shoot his 51st film, which he presented this Thursday in a press conference accompanied by the city's mayor, José Luis Martínez-Almeida, and the president of the Madrid community, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. During the event addressed to the press, he was asked about the housing crisis, which has led to a protest encampment at Puerta del Sol in Madrid. "I am not a filmmaker of political causes. I have no knowledge of political issues. I have always made films about the relationships between people, existential and romantic stories. When I am asked questions about social or political topics, I only know what I read in the newspapers. I do not have a deeper insight into the truth of things than an ordinary person. I am not the person to ask these things. My work has never been political," replied Allen. "I live in a house in New York, but I know nothing about housing. Seriously, I am not the right person to answer. Unless there is some problem I am not aware of, one lives in a house, has their family, and that is how life goes," the filmmaker insisted.

Since she said goodbye to SER in June, Àngels Barceló has been living a new life away from daily news. A new stage that has allowed her to return to Catalonia after many years living in Madrid. "I had been in Madrid since 1997, I have almost lived more years in Madrid than in Barcelona. I have always said that Madrid was not the city where I wanted to grow old, and I was growing old in Madrid," she explained in an interview on the program Bàsics on Betevé. Although she continues to maintain a bond with her host city, her life is now in Maresme, whose quality of life she defends. "I have registered as a resident in Catalonia again," she assured.

The influencer and presenter of La travessa, Laura Escanes, has reflected on the crisis of influencers in a conversationthis Monday on El matí de Catalunya Ràdio. "I am not a role model nor am I setting an example for anything, I make mistakes so many times. I always say it," states the communicator regarding the impact of her posts, which have almost 2 million followers on Instagram. From her point of view, the debate about the role of influencers is good and she considers that "when you are ignorant or you don't know something 100%, it is better to be quiet". "I am a very empty entertainment profile, really. I cannot give myself that much importance nor can we give so much importance to what an influencer who is dedicated to showing what clothes they have worn and where they have eaten thinks", underlines Escanes.

Dancer and choreographer Igor Yebra has revealed for the first time that he suffers from multiple sclerosis, a disease he was diagnosed with in 2015 and which he has kept private for years. The 52-year-old Basque artist has made his situation public in the autobiography "Why are we so stupid and not already dancing?", which has just been published by Bao Bilbao. The first symptoms appeared in 2013 in his left leg, and he initially attributed them to hard training.

What Sharon Stone explained on Mayim Bialik's podcast could perfectly well be the beginning of one of her rawest films. According to the artist, while she was hospitalized for a severe stroke that almost killed her, she opened her eyes on a gurney moving through a hospital corridor toward the operating room. As she regained consciousness, a jolt of the gurney finished waking her up and gave her the strength to ask what was happening to her and where they were taking her. If all that already gives you goosebumps, the answer the doctor gave her then was worse: she was going straight to the operating room to have exploratory brain surgery. A surgery that, according to her testimony, she had never authorized.

The journalist Jofre Llombart, who was coordinator of El matí de Catalunya Ràdio, has explained on the podcast Focus that Manel Fuentes, who was the presenter of the public radio's morning show between 2009 and 2013, harassed him at work. "In 2009-2010, I suffered a case of workplace harassment by Manel Fuentes," the journalist states. In the interview, Llombart explained what Fuentes' behavior was like during the time they worked together: "Today I confront you, tomorrow I cannot live without you. Today I scold you, tomorrow I thank you. Today I congratulate you, tomorrow I criticize you mercilessly. Today I cannot live without you, tomorrow I threaten you that you will never find work in this sector again if it depends on me. You don't know how to manage this roller coaster well if you don't have the tools. The mistreatment is the entire roller coaster, both when it goes up and when it goes down."
