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 physical appearance, "mistreatment" for 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.

The Lux Tour is arguably Rosalía's most ambitious tour to date. Everything is meticulously planned, including the wardrobe. Now that the singer has started the North American leg of the tour, she has decided to make changes to some of the outfits she wears, and the novelties have arrived from Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Dior, who has created four exclusive looks for her that were already seen at the concert she gave in Boston. The French house has shared several videos on Instagram showing the creative process and allowing us to see Rosalía trying on the outfits she will wear in the concerts she still has to perform. It should be remembered that since 2024 Rosalía has been a global ambassador for Dior.

The death this Sunday of Argentine YouTuber Gaspar Prim Díaz, known as Gaspi, and American singer Oliver Tree, has shocked social media and the music world. The collision between two helicopters in Rio de Janeiro left six dead, including audiovisual producer Lucas Vignale and Brazilian Lucas Brito Chaves. According to local authorities, the causes of the accident are still being investigated. One of the aircraft crashed into a parking lot, causing a fire that destroyed about twenty vehicles.

Marius Borg Hoiby, son of Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, has been sentenced to four years in prison for two counts of rape. An Oslo court has ruled that Hoiby, 29, is guilty of two of the four rapes for which he was tried last February. During the trial, Hoiby admitted to being partially guilty – as permitted by Norwegian law – of assault and reckless endangerment, but did not admit to being the perpetrator of the rapes. He has now been unanimously convicted. He has also been found guilty of assaulting his ex-partner, the influencer Nora Haukland, according to the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, and will have to pay approximately 60,000 euros in compensation to the victims. Hoiby was charged with one count of rape, two of non-consensual sexual contact, and four of offensive sexual behavior, in a list that also includes threats, vandalism, abuse, and traffic offenses.

I am writing these lines while the Holy Father is still circulating in the Spanish state. He arrived on Saturday, June 6, when he landed in Madrid, and left this Friday from the Canary Islands. In between, he has been in Catalonia, where he has starred in a series of moments that will go down in history, because no matter how much we agnostics try to convince ourselves that he is just another head of state, the media power he has is far superior to that of most heads of state, which gives him extra power in terms of soft power. To him and also to whoever receives him, if they know how to sell their arguments well.

It is a spring Tuesday, we are on the beach of s’Arenella in Cadaqués, and the pastry chef Jordi Roca is sitting in a boat listening to what one of the most respected retired fishermen in the town, Dionís Baró, is telling him. He is wearing a red-striped t-shirt, blue shorts, and dark espadrilles. In his hand, he has a bottle of Estrella Damm, from which he sips while following the legend of Canyut, the man who one day fell into the sea, almost drowned, and suddenly found himself on the sand next to a girl who later taught him to swim.

Everyone is talking about Bad Bunny. And not just because of the magnitude and buzz of the twelve mega-concerts he's holding between Madrid and Barcelona these weeks, but because of a decision that is as aesthetic as it is intentional and has tinged the tour of the album with controversy Debí tirar más fotos: the placement of an element that functions as a second stage during the show and has become the height of exclusivity. It is La Casita, a reproduction of a traditional house from Puerto Rico, intended to be a symbol of the singer's identity and his homeland, but which has received a shower of criticism for lack of inclusivity and for sexism.

Singer Dua Lipa married actor Callum Turner this Sunday in London in a ceremony attended only by family and eight of the couple's closest friends.

It is quite sad that one of the few real job assignments for royal families is to procreate until they obtain possible heirs to their throne and they cannot even succeed in that. This has happened in Europe on some occasions. Perhaps one of the most remembered is that of King Baudouin of the Belgians, who, together with his wife, Fabiola de Mora y Aragón, did not succeed, and the throne ended up being inherited by the monarch's brother, Albert, who was already 60 years old when he acceded to the headship of the Belgian state. If that case was sad because, despite trying, they unfortunately could not have children, the current case of Thailand is more convoluted, in which King Rama X has had 7 children and not one is suitable for the position, which will remain vacant when he is gone. And he is already 71 years old...

Matthew Perry's former personal assistant, Matthew Perry, Kenneth Iwamasa, was sentenced this Wednesday by a Los Angeles judge to three years and five months in federal prison for injecting the Friends actor with multiple doses of ketamine, the drug that caused his death on October 28, 2023.

The same day that the artist and writer Paula Bonet reported 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, breaking down the door, stealing a necklace and leaving 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.
