They give details of the last moments of Verónica Toussaint's life

 The death of the actress and television host Verónica Toussaint, at the age of 48, yesterday, May 16, announced by journalist Ciro Gómez Leyva, surprised the artistic world, since It was unknown that the multifaceted artist was going through a difficult time of health.

Toussaint faced the diagnosis of breast cancer since 2021, detected by a lump in her armpit, with which she fought for three years. To combat the disease, he made changes in his life, such as a diet free of sugar, dairy and flour, in addition to practicing yoga. Years ago, he had also overcome appendix cancer.

Although the famous woman was always very open when informing the audience about her illness and some of her processes to achieve healing, the same did not happen in the weeks before her death.

The last moments of Verónica Toussaint's life are revealed

On the social networks of the former host of "Qué chulada" there are still memories of fun moments recording her podcast "Mala Influencia" with Melissa Moch, photographs with some of her loved ones, such as Chumel Torres, Michel Rodríguez and Paola Rojas, as well as various trips. However, she did not leave any trace of vulnerability.

Friends close to her have assured on social networks that they did not hear from the artist for several days and later learned of her death.

Today, entertainment journalist Michelle Rubalcava, Verónica's former colleague at Imagen TV, narrated what the last moments of the famous woman's life were like, who was hospitalized for approximately 10 days. According to her version, a person from Toussaint's circle revealed to her that she had very painful days: "(The source) tells me 'She was in the hospital last week, today they gave me information about where they took her, she fought until the end, I didn't want anyone to know, it was a very aggressive cancer and the last treatment was very strong and painful,'" the communicator explained.

Veronica always liked to look impeccable, so she would prefer to carry out the last part of her medical treatment in private. On the other hand, she assured that she lost her life accompanied by her mother and family, who had the opportunity to say goodbye to her.

And I'm still working, I just didn't act because acting takes you to locations, it keeps you away.

Livia Brito and the war that she refuses to lose but it is not turning out as expected

 Four years have passed since paparazzo Ernesto Zepeda captured Livia Brito with her partner at the time Mariano Rodríguez on vacation in Cancun in 2020, in the middle of the pandemic.

After photographing them, the couple reacted violently against the photographer, who suffered injuries all over his body. In addition, Livia and Mariano snatched Zepeda's work equipment.

The criticism against Livia did not wait, and grew when the actress denied having been in Cancun, when the images were clear: it was Livia enjoying the Caribbean in the middle of the pandemic.

There was so much chaos and noise generated by the videos that Brito had to accept that it was her. But the stoy did not end there. Zepeda sued and the 37-year-old actress, advised by her lawyers, offered “an apology” on her social networks, which was also noted by the public as not credible.

Zepeda did not stop there and continued with the process, as he demanded to be paid for the losses of his team and the physical damage they caused him.

Despite the low popularity of the actress born in Havana, Cuba, she continued to work and be a star in Televisa soap operas such as 'La Pilot' and 'Minas de Passion', and an ambassador for brands such as Levi's. For her, this scandal did not harm her financially like it did for Zepeda.

Although people thought differently, in 2022, the trial came out in favor of Brito, who at all times has defended that Zepeda invaded his privacy.

This triumph also caused Livia and her lawyers to send a warning to all media outlets: anyone who used her image to generate money would be sued.

In response to this measure by the actress, many media outlets stopped talking about her. Others even erased her name, face or distorted her voice.

Ernesto continued with the lawsuit and, this month, the judges ruled that Livia Brito must compensate Zepeda with a little more than one million Mexican pesos. He himself confirmed it this week in the morning newspaper 'Sale el Sol'.

María León and the difficult experience that drove her to become the woman she is today

María León is a very talented woman. Whether as a singer or as an actress, the so-called Sergeant León always stands out in all the projects in which she participates. If that were not enough, she recently gave an interview in which she showed her emotional maturity, which can serve as an example.

The singer and dancer was invited to the 'Faisy Nights' program, where she talked about a little bit of everything: her career, where her nickname came from, what she did with her first check and a story that we want to highlight, a narcissistic relationship that made her understand the mistakes you were making with that person and will not repeat them again.

On TikTok, terms like “love bombing” and “narcissist” have become popular, as both millennials and centennials have become aware of these two mental disorders that occur recurrently in relationships, but what are they?

“Love bombing” is when a person showers you with compliments. He tells you that you are the best, that he wants you in his life and if that doesn't happen, he wouldn't know what to do. And no, there is nothing romantic about it, because according to psychologists, this is a tactic to covertly manipulate. You can identify it by abrupt personality changes or a lack of personal space; if it invades your space and does not respect your limits. Careful.

As for the “narcissist”, it is a personality disorder or mental illness in which the person has an unreasonable air of superiority. They always seek too much attention and admiration. They lack empathy and remain focused on themselves. They can intimidate you. , they do not give in when there are conflicts or they simply ignore your needs.

Miley Cyrus paid dearly for a Disney slip with one of her first hits

 Miley Cyrus owes her rise to stardom to Disney . Thanks to Hannah Montana , the 2006 Disney Channel series, the singer and actress made her vocal and acting talent known and earned the trust of the industry, leading to countless artistic opportunities, attracting a huge fan base and establishing herself. as one of the greatest talents on the musical scene. However, at the beginning of her career, she also suffered from some slip-up caused by the mouse company , such as a disqualification from the Grammy Awards .

It happened in 2009, when the Flowers or Wrecking Ball singer aroused passions with The Climb , one of the songs that were part of the soundtrack of Hannah Montana: The Movie, her jump to the cinema. Seeing the furor that the singer aroused, Disney did not settle for a routine product to bring the character to the big screen, but rather they made an effort to build a film that would highlight Miley's musical virtues and expand her legacy. For this reason, they decided to rely on established talent and adapt some of her work to this musical title.

This was the case of Taylor Swift , who in the wake of her meteoric career participated with her ballad Crazier and composed the song You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home with Martin Johnson from the group Boys Like Girls . Also from renowned country artists such as Jessi Alexander , who together with her composer Jon Maebe earned the respect of Disney with a ballad that, after some adaptation work, ended up becoming The Climb , which became established as the great song of the film and as one of the anthems of Miley Cyrus' career.

You just have to see that the song earned the respect of the music industry, something not easy considering that it comes from a product unlikely to be taken seriously like a Hannah Montana movie . However, the song resonated so deeply that even the Grammys nominated it in the category of Best Song for Film, Television or Other Media , which marked Miley Cyrus ' first candidacy for these renowned awards. But this story had a sad ending.

'Beethoven' and the mystery behind the disappearance of one of its child stars

 Joe Pichler was one of the young promises of Hollywood in the '90s. At only nine years old, he began acting in sporadic roles in successful series such as Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman or In the House , although it did not take long for the industry to bet more heavily on him.

After moving to Los Angeles from Bremerton, Washington, he became part of successful franchises such as Beethoven , the famous dog saga about the adventures of that Saint Bernard wrapped up in a family. Specifically, he became one of its protagonists in the third installment , in a role that he would also repeat in the fourth film and that helped him work on other animal productions of the decade such as My Friend Shiloh: A New Adventure .

He moved comfortably in this family cinema for all audiences with titles such as Good Ghosts, Bad Ghosts , starring Christopher Lloyd; or Children on Their Birthdays , where she met Sheryl Lee, one of the stars of Twin Peaks . However, at the insistence of her family, she chose to put acting aside and return to her hometown to focus on her studies.

When he graduated from high school, he planned his return to Hollywood to continue his career, albeit now as an adult actor. Unfortunately, a tragic event, which to this day is still surrounded by unknowns, prevented the young actor from fulfilling his dream of becoming a star of the seventh art.

A controversial Hollywood decision led to King Kong being banished for 40 years

 King Kong is one of the mythical figures of adventure cinema and one of the icons of popular culture. The success of the original 1933 film and its legacy has allowed this giant ape to continue being one of Hollywood's main bets, as well reflected in Peter Jackson 's remake or the cinematographic universe that makes up titles such as Kong: Skull Island or Godzilla and Kong: The New Empire . However, the prestige of this creature has not always stood tall, since a controversial decision in the 1930s ruined its future in cinema for many years.

It all has to do with the way RKO , the classic Hollywood studio behind King Kong, handled the success of the first film. The company, to which we also owe classics like Citizen Kane or It's a Wonderful Life! , was not going through a good economic time and was facing a reputation crisis due to a lack of quality in its titles. Acclaimed releases such as Glory of a Day or The Four Little Sisters , both starring Katherine Hepburn , helped calm the waters, although it was the success of King Kong that gave them the key to salvation.

Upon its release on March 2, 1933, it grossed more than $10 million at the box office against a production cost of only $670,000 (via Heritage Auctions ). This led to stratospheric profits as the idea arose of turning King Kong into an adventure franchise, like other successes of those years such as Johnny Weissmuller 's Tarzan . However, they jumped into the pool too soon.

They did not wait even a year to develop these plans, since RKO set the release date of the King Kong sequel for Christmas 1933, that is, only nine months after the debut of the original. Obviously, getting a big production off the ground in such a short time is an impossible mission, so the project, which was titled Son of Kong , had to deal with a lower budget, a tight shooting schedule, recycled special effects and a script without Polish .

In the film we were presented with another adventure in which Carl Denham, the explorer played by Robert Armstrong in the previous film, organizes another expedition to Skull Island in search of new discoveries. There he will discover Kong's son, a white gorilla who will soon sympathize with them and help them overcome the new dangers of the place.

Madame Web: Dakota Johnson says the released movie is not the one she agreed to film

 


Sony's recent film production, Madame Web (18%) , has been in the eye of the storm following its release, and the film's star, Dakota Johnson , has made surprising revelations about the significant changes the script has undergone since she joined the project, which makes us think that disaster was inevitable.

The film, directed by SJ Clarkson and starring Johnson as a New York paramedic with psychic powers, has been the target of harsh criticism since its release, being classified as one of the worst superhero films of the modern era. Despite Johnson's praised performance, the film has been criticized for its inconsistent script, questionable special effects, and confusing direction.

What did Dakota Johnson say about the Madame Web script?

Speaking exclusively to The Wrap , Johnson confessed that the script he initially read when accepting the role in Madame Web was radically different from what ultimately made it to the big screen. "There were drastic changes to the script," Johnson said with a nervous laugh. "And I can't even tell you what they were."

This statement sheds light on the tumultuous production of Madame Web and raises questions about the quality of the original script compared to the final product that has been the subject of relentless criticism.

Johnson's revelation raises two possible scenarios: either the original Madame Web script , written by a team consisting of Matt Sazama , Burk Sharpless , Claire Parker and director SJ Clarkson herself , was drastically modified during production, thus weakening the story. originally conceived, or, worse yet, the film was approved by the studio with a poor script that did not meet the expectations of those involved.

The uncertainty over changes to the Madame Web script casts new doubts on project management within the film industry and raises questions about the responsibility of film studios in producing high-quality films that respect the original vision of the film. filmmakers and satisfy public expectations.

Previous Venomverse films, including Venom (35%) (2018), Venom: Let There Be Carnage (45%) (2021), and Morbius (21%) (2022), have generated mixed reviews from critics and viewers. Venom received mostly negative reviews but was a commercial success, while its sequel also divided opinions but was well received by audiences and performed well at the box office.
