Real Madrid footballer Vinicius Jr is making headlines these days for a notable physical change, though not so evident at first glance. What’s new about his face that makes him more attractive? His chin. It’s undeniable. And it’s because a square jaw is a cultural archetype of masculinity, not a trend in aesthetic medicine. The genealogy is recognizable from Superman and Captain Trueno comics, continuing with Batman or Captain America: a strong jaw, defined cheekbones, and even a dimpled chin set an aesthetic standard. In classic cinema, Clark Gable, John Wayne, Gregory Peck, and Charlton Heston embodied it. There is, therefore, a connection between jaw, power, and masculinity: a square face visually functions as a kind of armor, making the character appear stronger, more determined, dominant, or resilient.

The football field incites a change of era in terms of men’s hair trends. The dreaded asymmetrical cuts of footballers like Sergio Ramos, Lamine Yamal, or all the look changes starring Neymar, become history to make way for a much more flattering hairstyle: that of Ferran Torres.

Just a few hours ago, Kiko Rivera announced on his social media the cancellation of his summer tour due to a “serious health problem” of which many details were not known. However, it has now been revealed that Isabel Pantoja’s son has confessed that he has suffered another stroke that has completely paralyzed his life. A health problem that has worsened compared to the episode he experienced in 2022 and that once again forces him to put an indefinite pause on his professional projects.

Elon Musk has announced that his artificial intelligence tool Grok Imagine will produce a feature-length film based on The Odyssey which, in his own words, will be “historically accurate” and faithful to Homer’s work. The entrepreneur made his intention public through his social network, X (formerly Twitter), where he stated yesterday that the project will be completed before the end of 2026.

The three big names in the Spanish influencer universe have received a warning from the Administration. The National Commission for Markets and Competition (CNMC) has sanctioned Ibai Llanos, Jordi Wild, and Nachter for various breaches of the General Audiovisual Communication Law related to advertising and the protection of minors in content disseminated through social networks and video platforms.

“Never, never, but never love a man so much,” Amy Winehouse declared at one of the concerts of her last tour (2011) before singing Love is a losing game. From her broken heart sprang the best love and heartbreak lyrics in a jazz key since Billie Holiday or Frank Sinatra, but also an addiction to drugs and alcohol that ultimately silenced her voice on July 23, 2011. Today marks 15 years since the great British diva died of respiratory failure caused by an alcoholic coma. She was 27 years old.

Javier Bardem traded the red carpet for the dance floor for one night. The actor, who had attended the concert Shakira offered this July 21st at the Barclays Center in New York, ended up becoming one of the unexpected protagonists of the evening.

Spain’s World Cup victory celebration has taken its toll on Rosalía. The Catalan singer has been forced to publicly apologize after a post shared on her social media unleashed a wave of criticism among her Argentine followers, who interpreted the gesture as a mockery towards the Albiceleste team after their defeat in the final.

The players and staff of the Spanish National Team experienced an unforgettable day this past Monday. After winning their second World Cup against Argentina, La Roja was received by the Kings and their daughters, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, at the Palacio de la Zarzuela and, subsequently, moved to La Moncloa to meet with the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez.

“You have won with gallantry; when Spain plays, we all play. You have fought for it, with head and heart, and you have achieved it.” With these words, the King has congratulated the players of the Spanish national football team who, this Monday, have begun hours of celebration that continue at the Moncloa, where Pedro Sánchez receives them, and will culminate in the Plaza de Cibeles, after the parade through the streets of Madrid.
