When she was only 23 years old, Lena Dunham sold her first series, Girls, to HBO Max. The dramedy about a group of four friends living in New York was one of the shows that marked television in the second decade of the 2000s, and its protagonist and creator was very often also the subject of all kinds of articles and criticisms, many times for her physique. Now Dunham, who will turn forty in May, has just published a memoir, Famesick (it will be published here in Spanish in September), in which she reviews not only the impact that sudden fame had on her but also her relationship with her co-stars on the series and the many health problems she has suffered throughout her life.

When in a relationship the older one is the man, that age difference is transparent in the eyes of society. In fact, it is something so normalized and so insignificant in terms of social controversy that people don't even notice it unless someone specifically points it out to them. Fortunately, nowadays, some feminists with some standing on social media raise their voices when some rich/famous/powerful man –or all three at once– starts dating a young woman who is the same age –or younger!– as his own daughters. But, well, the percentage of people who publicly complain about that age difference is infinitesimal. And mind you, there are angles from which to criticize it... From the secular heritage of machismo that the relationship represents to the inequality in terms of power it embodies or to the medium-term harm that it will cause her, to name just three examples.

Seen from a perspective, the 2022 Oscars ceremony can be described as a source of monumental gossip. Because, as we have just learned, on the same evening that became tragically historic because Will Smith went on stage to slap Chris Rock for making a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett, a betrayal was cooked up for none other than Liza Minnelli. As the artist explained in her memoir, which she very skillfully titled Kids, wait till you hear this! –Children, wait till you hear this!, in Catalan–, Hollywood's last historical muse does not have a good memory of that night, in which the Academy had invited her to present the most prized Oscar of the night, that for best film, which she did alongside none other than Lady Gaga.

A federal judge has dismissed most of the accusations made by actress Blake Lively against actor, director, and co-producer Justin Baldoni. The performer sued him in 2024 for sexual harassment and retaliation, in thirteen lawsuits filed in court, after sharing filming for the movie It ends with us, which Baldoni directed, co-produced, and co-starred in. Now a New York judge has determined that ten of these lawsuits cannot be admitted for trial due to "legal reasons": the magistrate considered that Lively was not an employee hired by Baldoni, but rather worked on the film independently. Specifically, Lively did not sign the actor's release agreement, which would have protected her in relation to the rules on sexual harassment on set.

The concerts of Rosalía's Lux tour include a moment of confession on stage, where the singer from Sant Esteve Sesrovires places herself in a fake confessional and listens to the story of a well-known personality, usually about the sins of one of their ex-partners. At the Madrid concert she gave this Friday, it was the singer Aitana who entered the confessional and gave details of one of her most talked-about breakups: the one that ended her relationship with Colombian singer Sebastián Yatra between 2023 and 2024.

Since becoming a global star, the interest in Rosalía from gossip magazines has not stopped growing. If a few days ago she was seen quite annoyed by the paparazzi's pursuit in both Paris and Madrid, this week she is on the cover of the magazine Diez Minutos for her real estate projects. According to the publication, the singer from Sant Esteve Sesrovires would be considering the possibility of buying a 600 m² triplex in the Madrid neighborhood of Argüelles.

An institution as little accustomed to changes, and even less so to rapid changes, as the British Royal Family has finally understood that it has no choice but to adapt to new rhythms when making decisions if it wants to survive. This is demonstrated by the management of the Beatrice and Eugenie of York case, who have gone from being treated as victims of their parents' relationship with the paedophile Jeffrey Epstein to being seen as active participants in the tycoon's corrupt relationship with their parents. It is for this reason that in recent times, the princesses have suddenly disappeared from the official agenda of events of the Windsor family, who have let them fall to save themselves before it was too late.

Actor Barry Keoghan, known for films like Saltburn or the more recent Peaky Blinders: The King, has denounced the harassment he has suffered on social media, which has focused mainly on criticizing his physical appearance. In an interview with the American magazine Entertainment Weekly, he detailed that this hate campaign has altered his life and his way of behaving."It has made me withdraw into myself, not want to go anywhere, not want to go out," he says.

In July, it will be 27 years since John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette died. These two style icons and absolute celebrities for an entire generation were already completely unknown to young people born after the year 2000. However, the series that Ryan Murphy has dedicated to them, Love story (Disney+), has resurrected them from the oblivion into which they had fallen. As often happens with celebrities who die prematurely and leave a beautiful corpse, there is always a latent fascination for them that makes social interest very easy to revive. The fact that they haven't had time to make mistakes and that aesthetically they are a fossil of an era places them in people's minds as shining icons, which enhances them being looked at with a certain extra dose of affection and interest. Obviously, if on top of that an omnipotent platform like Disney brings them back into the spotlight, the global impact is served.

Chef Arnau París, one of the faces of the program Cuines from TV3, has announced via Instagram that he has become a father. A week ago, the twins he has with his partner, the also cook Rais Esteve, were born. The children are named Artur and Robert –the same initials as father and mother– and, as the chef explains on social media, they were born after 8 months of gestation. "Thank you for making me celebrate my first Father's Day, I celebrate your 40 little fingers that are always searching and sometimes find mine on the way," he wrote.

Singer Rosalia has retracted her opinion on Pablo Picasso in recent hours, which she expressed in an interview with Argentine writer Mariana Enríquez organized by Spotify. In the conversation, the two artists debated Picasso and Rosalía said: "I really like Picasso and I've never bothered to differentiate the artist from the work. Maybe I wouldn't have liked him as much for the things I've been told, but who knows, maybe I would have. I don't know and I don't care, I enjoy his work".

A Catalan person can't help but click on a headline that says Britney Spears has been arrested for DUI. The pity is that they click on it only to discover that in English, DUI means driving under the influence (i.e., drunk driving) and not a unilateral declaration of independence. The truth is, the idea of ​​Britney becoming independent from something—whatever it is—was very appealing to me. After having been held captive for 13 years by an absolutely abusive legal conservatorship in front of the whole world without anyone doing anything about it, the artist will always have my full support if she wants to become independent, whatever it is. She has the right to want to escape from everything and everyone forever. She has a supreme right to have an infinite thirst for freedom. They already stole her childhood and then the entire first part of her adulthood. She has the right to never want to know anything about anyone again. Not even the fans who were constantly writing the hashtag #freebritney everywhere. And that they had been doing so since before the trial began until she left it with a sentence in her hand that freed her from her father – and incidentally from her entire family of leeches – and that stated that her father had stolen up to 6 million dollars from her while took care her estate.

We know practically everything about Georgina Rodríguez thanks to I Am Georgina, the documentary series where she revealed all the details of her life as a mother, influencer, businesswoman and wife of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. It is also no secret that she declares herself devout. Now she has revealed a new detail: she loves masses attended by Francoism nostalgics. Last Tuesday Rodríguez, who has more than 70 million followers on Instagram, shared several videos and photos on social media of her visit to the Cuelgamuros Valley. In the images, Cristiano Ronaldo's partner can be seen attending mass in the company of some of her children. Rodríguez did not miss anything, and she shared it: the communion, the choir's singing, and the lighting of the incense. She also showed some details of the large Francoist monument, without mentioning at any time who built it and for what reason, nor the thousands of people buried there. She even took a photograph in front of the 150-meter-high monumental cross located at the top of the Risco de la Nava, omnipresent and intentionally visible from the outskirts of Madrid.

It made a lot of sense for the guest of honor at the Barcelona Restoration Guild's party to be actor Alberto San Juan, who has just been nominated for a Goya for his performance in La cena. And it was precisely this film – which humorously recreates a fictional dinner of Franco two weeks after winning the Civil War – that led the Madrid-born actor to use the podium of the mythical La Paloma venue in the Catalan capital to launch a forceful "no to war." San Juan received a standing ovation from the five hundred attendees at the meeting, including actors, politicians, and restaurateurs, with his call "against this new world order where those with the greatest capacity to impose violence now lead." He reviewed the bombings in Iran and the "genocide of Gaza," among other things, and delivered a harsh criticism of the European Union and its "renunciation of defending the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."

Timothée Chalamet is one of the hottest young actors right now, and on Sunday he could win his first Oscar for his performance in Marty SupremeHowever, public opinion is not entirely favorable to him, especially after his statements this weekend went viral, in which he called opera and ballet dying arts, a statement that has angered both artistic fields, which have responded to the actor through different institutions.

I've always said that rich people are the best at recounting their misfortunes. They're so unaccustomed to the inherent miseries of being alive that they speak of their misfortunes with such emphasis, from a place of strangeness and surprise that we working-class people find magnetic. You see adults absolutely traumatized by having experienced things that you discovered—and also overcame—before finishing high school. Sometimes, they even lament things you hadn't even internalized as negative. Just normal. In fact, since they've never experienced any misfortune before, they're much more frustrated than usual, they get very angry, and their situation seems utterly horrible to them. This also amuses us poor people because, when we see it, we think that if we got so angry every time something negative happened to us—the kind of thing that irritates millionaires so much—we'd have chronic ulcers, since it's our daily bread.

During the 90s, John Kennedy Jr., son of the assassinated president John F. Kennedy, was one of the most desired men in the United States. At that time, he shared a good part of his life with the actress Daryl Hannah, whom he finally left for Carolyn Bessette, whom he married in 1996. Three years later, the couple and Bessette's sister died in a plane crash. The love story between the young heir Kennedy and the Calvin Klein executive is the common thread of Love Story, one of the series that is making the most fortune on Disney+. However, the fiction has not pleased everyone and one of the people who has publicly wanted to show her discontent has been Daryl Hannah, who has expressed her indignation with the series' portrayal of her. In an article she published in the New York Times and titled How can 'Love Story' get away with it?, Hannah has bitterly complained about how the series represents her. "The character of Daryl Hannah that appears in the series is not remotely an accurate representation of my life, my conduct, or my relationship with John," writes Hannah, 65. "The actions and behaviors attributed to me are false," she remarks. The actress Dree Hemingway is responsible for bringing the actress to life in the fiction.

Brad Pitt is considered one of cinema's great sex symbols, but that doesn't mean he's always had luck in love. Actress Christina Applegate has just published her memoir, You with the sad eyes: a memoir, in which she recalls how she stood up Brad Pitt mid-date to go with a suitor she found more attractive, rocker Sebastian Bach, singer of the band Skid Row. It all happened during the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony in 1989, when she was 17, Pitt was 25, and Bach was 20. At the time, however, the famous one of the couple was Applegate, who was starring in the comedy Married... with Children.

The actress and comedian Sílvia Abril has become a target of the far-right after making statements in which she criticized the Catholic Church. During her appearance on the red carpet at the Goya Awards, held this Saturday in Barcelona, Abril was interviewed by the magazine Cinemanía, which asked her about her favorite film of this edition of the awards. The actress opted for Sorda, but also spoke aboutLos domingos, the drama about a teenager who wants to become a cloistered nun. "I feel sorry that young people need to believe in something and cling to the Christian faith. I'm sorry for the Church, but what a kiosk you have set up. It's over, get out," said Abril, who argued that she preferred Sorda because she found it more "necessary" than Alauda Ruiz de Azúa's film.

Some royal accounts say that the current King Charles III once told his ex-wife, Diana, Princess of Wales, before their separation, that she could learn a bit more from Sarah Ferguson, who had great charisma and was very pragmatic about palace matters. More of a smile for the outside world and less vulnerability behind closed doors was what he demanded of the mother of his children, a woman who suffered greatly at his hands not because of his own personality but because of the way he treated her. This statement resonates more than ever these days, now that we've learned that the cheerful and pragmatic Fergie was even worse than we imagined: a ruthless woman capable of acting without any principles to achieve her goals, which were almost always material. Just to give one example: after Epstein was convicted of pimping and attempting to prostitute a minor in 2008, she took her two daughters to meet him at the Florida mansion where he was under house arrest. As if to ingratiate herself with the millionaire who we now also know supported her for almost a decade. Like a kind of offering. If Diana had been like Ferguson, as her husband asked her to be, Charles III might not be king today, just as his brother is no longer a prince...
