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.

If throughout the 20th century many European monarchies could be politically justified as guarantors of democratic values – for example, for not having cooperated with fascism during the world wars –, now this situation has changed. The refinement of the meaning of democracy in the minds of European citizens means that the thrones that have reached our days have become misaligned with the concept of democracy that large segments of society now hold. This society demands that the representatives of its highest institutions not only formally adhere to democratic values, but also live a life consistent with those values. A tangible adherence. Adapting to this new phase is infinitely more complex for monarchies than any previous reform, since these institutions are intrinsically contrary to what meritocracy and equality mean, the two essential pillars upon which a democracy is indefectibly built today.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

It is not difficult to understand that the fact that an icon like Nicole Kidman is single depends solely on her will. Anyone can easily get an idea that in the Hollywood circles she moves in, someone with her talent, beauty, and media position has no shortage of suitors. That is why, while at the end of September 2025 we wrote the news that after 20 years she had separated from Keith Urban we were all already thinking about the flood of news we would write shortly about her future relationships, material that American paparazzi and the media that sponsor them surely could not resist. And neither could we.

No death is more alive than Jeffrey Epstein, a financial magnate who lived a life that, at first glance, could be defined as the American Dream, going from a simple working-class high school teacher to a billionaire with properties around the world and high-level connections capable of changing the course of any business he undertook. Unfortunately, the facts dismantle this narrative, as the rise of that young Jewish man from Brooklyn has always been more closely linked to shady dealings than to success born of effort and talent for his profession, whatever it may have been.

Colombian singer Shakira has broken the Guinness World Record for the highest-grossing Latin music tour after earning $421.6 million with her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. With this milestone, she has surpassed Mexican singer Luis Miguel, who had earned $409.5 million with his Luis Miguel Tour 23-24. According to Billboard, the Barranquilla native sold 3.3 million tickets across 86 shows, while the Mexican singer... The bikini She had sold 2.9 million. The Colombian singer achieved the record on December 11, 2025, when she held a concert at Vélez Sarsfield Stadium in Buenos Aires, where she arrived having earned $410.3 million in revenue, according to Billboard.

"I got botulinum toxin injected into my forehead and I can't even express how awful I feel, sister."It's a phrase that many will recognize because it was uttered by one of the most viral personalities of recent times, Triana Marrash, the undisputed winner of The House of the Twins 2. This phrase, which many will criticize more for its context than its actual meaning, perfectly encapsulates Victoria Beckham's current situation. This week, she received an award from the French Ministry of Culture in Paris, her expression difficult to interpret from a cinematic perspective. It was hard to decipher whether she felt bad about everything happening with her son despite the moment of great joy, or if she had simply used too much Botox for the occasion, making that the most exquisite face she could muster. Perhaps her facial expression was a combination of all these things. In any case, the Catalan actress Triana Marrash hasn't been a prophet in her own land, but she has been in the land of the Enlightenment. Who would have thought that through her words we could so accurately interpret something that happened in France...

To come from nothing and manage to remain at the top of the fashion industry for five consecutive decades, an icon of luxury and elegance, is such a feat that if we weren't absolutely certain it had happened, we might doubt it, and that disbelief would be entirely justified. This, which Valentino accomplished with admirable serenity and steady progress, is far from being achieved by the most acclaimed figures in the industry today. Most people who work in fashion now—and not in such high-profile positions as creative director of a globally influential brand—end up leaving the forefront of the industry after a few years to retreat to secondary roles because they can't cope with its relentless pace. That's why stories like that of the late Valentino Garavani, who died this week at the age of 93 in RomeThese events can only be accompanied by the story of an impressive fortune, the fate of which we will now know.

As far as public opinion is concerned, the marriage of Victoria and David Beckham has had two very distinct phases throughout their life together. Initially, they were icons for the people. chav and later became reference figures for the mainstream and even for people posh girlsSince reaching this second stage of popularity, not without having invested considerable communication effort in the change, their public trajectory settled into a kind of oasis where their acceptance and ability to draw a crowd continued to increase quantitatively while also becoming increasingly cross-cutting. They were friends of the British royal family, they had a large extended family that presented them as people Focused and with traditional values, she became a successful businesswoman in the demanding world of fashion, and he triumphed in several ventures beyond chasing a ball and posing nude in underwear ads. It seemed paradise had arrived at the Beckham home to stay.

The use of clothing by members of European royal families has been a significant element throughout history. Initially, the use of clothing by male members of these monarchies was also significant, but the moment they adopted uniforms—civilian or military—the visual pleasure of seeing fashion in all its splendor remained solely in their hands. This reality has remained practically unchanged until now, when the democratic imperative to simulate a life closer to that of the people who support them has introduced a certain restraint to the former boundless splendor. And I say "certain" because, judging by this year's ranking from the website UFO No More, the total expenditure of the royals –in office, abdicated, or dethroned– spending on new clothes this year has amounted to no less than 1.6 million euros. An enormous sum overall, but less than some time ago, when women in royal families never repeated outfits because it was frowned upon and, even worse, they only wore haute couture in one of the many versions of this top-tier range.

If the United Kingdom has the Windsors and their misfortunes to accompany the chronicles of every era in the country's history, the United States can review much of its modern history through the Kennedy family and the avalanche of setbacks that have befallen this legendary political dynasty. The latest member to make headlines due to a cruel twist of fate is climate journalist Tatiana Schlossberg, daughter of Caroline Kennedy and, therefore, granddaughter of former US President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. According to a statement released by her family through the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation the day before the end of the year, the young woman died at the age of 35. as a result of a rare and aggressive form of leukemia. "Our beloved Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always live on in our hearts," read the statement announcing her death.

Pop culture is unpredictable and always surprises us with events no one could have ever imagined. Unforeseen combinations of celebrities whose paths seem unbelievable. influencers Making pronouncements only possible thanks to minds forged in the most trivial battles, celebrities using social media while drunk, and television networks desperate to attract new audiences are just some of the scenarios that are sure to give us the best headlines of the year. However, at the moment, all of this is just speculation, since we don't know how all this information will ultimately materialize. Nevertheless, we already have some news stories on the agenda that all signs point to being front-page news.

A year can be quite eventful in terms of breakups for mere mortals. You can go from not speaking to your ex to reconciling and moving in together if, suddenly, circumstances change. This is even worse when it affects celebrities, who live in a bubble where everything is even more exaggerated, since factors like commercial interests and social media pressure influence their lives. Whatever the reasons, below you will find the most talked-about breakups of 2025. We'll see if they don't reappear in the 2026 ranking...

Those who criticize marrying young as a mistake because it involves choosing a life partner before truly knowing yourself will surely be delighted that Cher has found her soulmate on the cusp of 80. With years of experience gained from self-discovery and having become so certain of who she is that she has dared to defy every possible social taboo, the most primal of all living pop divas seems to have found someone with whom to swear eternal love, however long eternity may last for her. After two failed marriages and 50 years of abstinence—marital, not romantic—we understand that she knew exactly what she was looking for in a man.

Especially since this decision will greatly upset that insufferable ageist and sexist social class that always tries to oppress anyone who attempts to live their life freely. This is a guarantee that Cher's upcoming wedding is very good news.
