“I'm mortified”: Blake Lively's apology for making fun of Kate Middleton's retouched photo

 Blake Lively, the star of Gossip Girl , made a joke about the Princess of Wales and had to apologize. The actress made a statement on her social networks in which she was very sorry for having made a joke about the failed image that Kate Middleton published on her social networks on Mother's Day - and which became the center of controversy for excessive digital retouching - after finding out he has cancer. “She has me mortified,” she said.

It all started with the photo that Middleton uploaded to her social networks on March 10 after a long period of time without being seen in public. Although the image was intended to dispel speculation about her health, it ended up generating a new scandal: the large number of modifications that the image underwent led the British princess herself to confess that she had been the one who had edited it and to apologize. Immediately, social media was filled with memes, jokes and comments about it, and Blake Lively couldn't avoid the temptation to ride that wave.

“I am very excited to share this new photo that I just took today to announce our four new products,” the actress wrote along with a rudely retouched image in which she is seen lying on a lounge chair, with a pool in the background and a can of its brand of “gourmet sodas.” “Now you know why I have been missing,” she concluded, alluding to the Princess of Wales.

Shakira in Paris? The singer publishes romantic photos with this handsome heartthrob

 Shakira surprises by publishing photos with this coveted celebrity. Is that you, 

Lewis Hamilton?

Shakira stirred up social media by posting photos with a coveted beau. This is Lucien Leon Laviscount , the British actor who plays the role of 'Alfie', one of 'Emily's loves' in the Netflix series Emily in Paris . "Refining the shot with  @its_lucien  in 'Puntería'," the singer wrote alongside the romantic images of her, where the muscular actor hugs her and gives her a tender kiss.

Everything seems to indicate that Lucien is the model for a new music video for his song "Puntería", one of the gems of his new album Las mujeres ya no Llorn . "We are ready!" commented the Venezuelan singer and YouTuber Lele Pons . "La Shakira in Paris Oui, oui!" commented the Dominican presenter Génesis Suero.

"You have good aim / you know where to give me so that I'm exhausted, turned on," says the lyrics of the song, which Shakira recorded with rapper Cardi B. Something that is obvious is the actor's great resemblance to the Formula 1 car racer, also British Lewis Hamilton , with whom Shakira was romantically linked in 2023.

Is it a nod to Hamilton ? It would not be the first time! In June 2023, Shakira recorded a Sabritas commercial where she fled from a set in a van 'at full speed' like a Formula 1 driver, to take refuge on a beach and watch the sunset while eating chips.

The Barranquilla native opened her heart in an interview with Apple Music . After her separation in 2022 from former Catalan soccer player Gerard Piqué , father of her children Milan and Sasha, Shakira confesses that she does not know if she will find love again.

"Experiencing love fully, with its ups and downs, is so essential to human life. I love love, but I think I love friendship more. I thought love would be there forever and that is one of my broken dreams and not I know if I will ever find it again, probably not," he said.

After the scandal over Kate's photo, Meghan Markle returned to Instagram to present a project

 

With all the commotion around the disappearance from public life and the scandal over an altered photo of Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, due to an unknown health condition after a mysterious abdomen surgery, the other daughter-in-law of King Charles, the American actress Meghan Markle , who knew how to be the center of attention more than once for her forceful statements against the British royal family, had remained under the radar.

However, Prince Harry's wife made headlines again this Friday with her return to Instagram after a four-year hiatus with her new lifestyle brand , American Riviera Orchard .

Evangelina Anderson revealed the “odyssey” she experienced after celebrating River's victory in the Super Cup in Córdoba

 

On Wednesday night the Mario Alberto Kempes Stadium in Córdoba became a million-dollar party. River Plate defeated Estudiante de La Plata 2-1 and became champion of the Argentine Super Cup for the fourth time in its history. Evangelina Anderson was part of the celebrations of the great achievement of her husband, Martín Demichelis, but after the joy she did not hesitate to portray on Instagram the “odyssey” that she went through to reach Buenos Aires .

Together with her father and her youngest daughter, Emma, ​​Evangelina Anderson embarked on a trip to Córdoba to accompany Martín Demichelis, who was facing an important challenge as technical director of River Plate. Given the victory, the team celebrated on the field and she also did so on social networks. However, what happened after the big celebration erased her smile a little.

Evangelina's plans changed completely when she wanted to return to Buenos Aires, since her flight was delayed for weather reasons. The facilities of the Cordoba airport became the resting place for her family entourage and during the waiting time she turned to her followers to help her make two important decisions.

Through an Instagram survey, she revealed that the delay changed her plans and she was in a dilemma regarding her little daughter's routine. “Is “little abrojito” going to school tomorrow?” , she asked and the users voted. Her followers recommended that she should be absent and, knowing this, the little girl couldn't stop celebrating.

The second question he raised as the hours passed was related to his work responsibilities, since he had to appear to record The 8 Steps (eltrece), a cycle of which he is part of the jury, and he did not arrive due to the delay of his flight.

ABBA music fused with flamenco, the new proposal that premieres in Madrid

 Classics from the Swedish group ABBA such as 'Waterloo', 'Chiquitita' or 'Mamma Mía' fused with flamenco, that is the new and attractive proposal that will soon premiere at the Teatro la Latina, one of the most important comedy and magazine stages in Madrid.

'ABBA Flamenco Tribute' premieres next Tuesday the 19th, with a choreography in which tarantos, tangos, bulerías, jaleos or alegrías, 'palos' or varieties are mixed, all of them of this popular musical art form from the south of Spain.

The dancer and choreographer Antonio Guerra grew up listening to ABBA songs and, after collaborating in shows in which their songs were performed - his daughter also participates in a musical about this group -, he confesses that the creations of this quartet seemed to haunt him and he thought about a fusion for tangos.

Upon seeing the good result, they continued the process. "We brought ABBA more towards flamenco than we did towards ABBA; joys, jaleo, rumba or abandonment have arisen and what has been left is a very curious product," says the creator and director of the production in an interview with EFE in the middle of the last essays.

Bold and respectful proposal

Guerra admits the "daring" nature of his proposal: "No one has any idea (of the result)," but when they see it "they are pleasantly surprised." He adds that it is made "with a lot of respect", with "versions of songs that will surprise anyone who understands flamenco, while ABBA fans will say 'how is that possible?'".

And he points out: "I don't think anyone will feel offended, not the flamencos, not the ABBA fans."

Guardiola: "It seems like a tradition to face the kings of the Champions League"

 

Pep Guardiola, Manchester City coach, assured that "it is already a tradition" that they face the "king" of the Champions League, after the draw for the quarterfinals has paired them with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid and Manchester City will meet for the third consecutive season in the Champions League. The 'Sky Blues' eliminated the whites last season en route to their first title in the top continental competition.

"It seems like it's a tradition now. Three years in a row playing against the kings of the competition. I hope we can arrive at a good time because there are still several weeks left until the first match in Madrid," Guardiola said this Friday at a press conference.

Regarding the advantage of playing the second leg at the Etihad Stadium, Guardiola pointed out that the draw cannot be controlled and that when people say that the draw has been easy or not it is because "they underestimate the rival."
