The same day that the artist and writer Paula Bonet denounced on Instagram that her gallery where she works had been destroyed, her stalker also posted on social media a photograph of a giant hammer accompanied by a text in which he assured that "the purpose of the aggression is domination, not destruction". And a few hours later, the man added two more posts. In the first, holding the book El fin del amor by Eva Illouz; in the second, he is seen looking at the camera with the text "Get over it. Move on". The man was released a few days before the attack on the gallery and after having been in preventive detention since July 2025, when he entered Bonet's La Madriguera workshop by breaking down the door, stole a necklace and left a message written on the blackboard.

John Travolta has had a new face and they've messed it up. And I'm not saying that because it looks bad, let's not jump to conclusions. In fact, it's the opposite. They've performed a complex exercise in aesthetic medicine and have managed to make this screen legend, at 72 years old, turn back the clock a few years in terms of facial sagging without losing much naturalness. Or without losing as much as would have been predictable... The problem has therefore been that this new face they've given him has stolen all the spotlight from an artist who had no need to go through this media show at this stage of his professional life.

From demanding 55 million euros to having to return more than 60, if the State does not have its way in its appeal (nothing will be returned until there is a final judgment). The National High Court has ended up siding with Shakira in her battle with the Tax Agency and considers that the public Treasury has not managed to prove that she was a tax resident in Spain during the 2011 tax year that was in dispute. The State demanded that she pay in Spain the taxes derived from all her worldwide income for that year, while the artist maintained that, having resided less than the 183 days that mark half the year, she only had to do so for the proportional part.

The second Sunday in May was Mother's Day in the United States, and that brought Debbie Rowe back into our lives. Precisely her, yes. None other than the woman who, in the mid-nineties, was world-famous and from whom we had heard almost nothing since. A woman who, in the eyes of an entire generation – very possibly unfairly – is the one who least comes to mind when we think of the concept of mother.

Montjuïc mountain was dressed in red tonight with the arrival of almost 800 guests for the People In Red Gala, which celebrated its sixteenth edition this year. As is tradition, the event brought together at the MNAC representatives from sponsoring companies, institutions, and celebrities from the social, cultural, and political world of Barcelona and Catalonia to rally for a common cause: to raise funds to finance the research of the Fundació Lluita contra les Infeccions, an internationally renowned institution in clinical research of infectious diseases. The initiative, whose alma mater is Doctor Bonaventura Clotet, president of the foundation, has once again demonstrated its intact power of attraction and its fundraising capacity, which reached 838,769 euros, a very notable figure that makes this solidarity gala the most powerful in Spain.

Bilbao has experienced the first comeback concert of La Oreja de Van Gogh with its founding singer, Amaia Montero, and without its guitarist, Pablo Benegas. At the Bizkaia Arena, 15,000 people accompanied the quintet, made up of the historic Xabi San Martín (keyboards), Álvaro Fuentes (bass) and Haritz Garde (drums) and Benegas' replacement, Imanol Goikoetxea. "I thought I would never set foot on a stage again. I was lost, completely lost, to the point of not recognizing myself. There were many dark days, when I thought it was all over. I have been to hell but, with my scars, after fighting a lot, I am here," Amaia Montero admitted this Saturday: "This is much more than a concert," she assured.

There is nothing worse than success. This would be the summary of what is happening with the Met Gala. When something as niche as this, which until not so long ago only a few fashion enthusiasts knew about, ends up being a topic of interest for people who the rest of the year do not consume any other type of content about this discipline, it means that the end of the genuine version of this event has arrived. A spectacle that the mainstream does not have the tools to understand, because it does not know the references of each aesthetic decision that is produced there – or even because it opines that fashion is not art... – , cannot be the property of the mainstream. At least if the will is for this spectacle to continue being what it has always been.

Willy Bárcenas and the haunted house could perfectly be the title of a new installment in the Harry Potter saga. Unfortunately, however, it is only the summary that best defines the contribution of the son of Luis Bárcenas to current affairs in recent days. And it is that this young man of little media shame and generous loquacity has starred in a double appearance in the media this week. A double contribution that in both cases has revolved around his parents' house, located on the very posh street Príncipe de Vergara in Madrid. From what he has explained, it seems that in that very Salamancacore enclave, very strange things have happened over the years. Some, according to his testimony, could have been the fault of spirits, and others, of the Popular Party. Presumably in both cases, obviously. Well, surely in one case more presumably than in the other. But I wouldn't dare to say which one...

Queen Elizabeth II, who would have turned 100 this week, was in office for so long that everyone has a particular anecdote or image stored in their mind. Both inside and outside the United Kingdom. Some remember her starring in a state visit to their country, others by how she was dressed at the wedding of one of her four children, others inaugurating a new political year in the British Parliament, others enjoying the Ascot horse races, and others simply accompanied by her corgis... And it is that the continuous exposure in the media throughout her life, the particular image of a normal, everyday woman that she projected, and her adherence to all the most Victorian traditions – to which she never gave up –, made her a person who was equally approachable and unattainable. That is to say, someone memorable, one of the greatest assets a monarch can aspire to.

Michael Jackson's heirs are facing a lawsuit from the four Cascio brothers, who claim they were victims of sexual abuse and manipulation. As the Cascios explained to The New York Times, Michael Jackson deceived them when they were minors and subjected them to a brainwashing process.

Apparently, it is a music festival. But, if we are honest, Coachella is much more than that nowadays. This veteran Californian desert festival has become a physical hub for brands and media attention thanks to its instagrammability, which greatly surpasses what happens there from a musical point of view. If not, you only need to look at how many news items related to this festival you have seen in the last week and, above all, how many of them were about music. There are no further questions, Your Honour. In this absolutely commercial magma, in which brands from all over the world pay between half a million and one million dollars to have a stand there, and in which these same firms pay up to $20,000 per day for a billboard on the road from Los Angeles to the festival grounds, a Kardashian couldn't be missing, grabbing attention. As often happens when there are spotlights, flashes, and excited algorithms, one of the world's most famous sisters – or sometimes all of them – has become global news. In this case, the lucky one has been Kendall Jenner, who, so we all understand, is the model Kardashian, who went there last weekend.

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 sorts of articles and criticisms, often 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.
