Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson’s nephew who succeeds in his first movie: “I tried to show his humanity”

He just turned 30 years old and Jaafar Jackson couldn’t be celebrating them at a better personal moment. His first film, Michael, has become the highest-grossing biographical movie in history, having grossed to date 991 million dollars, far ahead of what Oppenheimer brought Universal. And although the critics were not exactly generous with the film directed by Antoine Fuqua and co-produced by Michael Jackson’s own family, the extraordinary work he has done to become who his uncle was in real life promises to give him a place in the Oscar race.

The City Council entrusts exclusively to the court the resolution of the VPP scandal in Alicante

Manuel Villar is the deputy mayor of Alicante and the person appointed to chair the commission that, by unanimous decision of the municipal plenary, was established to try to clarify the circumstances that led to the irregular awarding of public housing in Alicante. Yesterday, in response to questions from this newspaper, after four sessions of a commission in which only one retired official has testified, Villar admitted that it will be the ongoing judicial investigation that clarifies what happened. Because although he maintains that the government team is doing the right thing, he did not even commit his own cooperation: Villar assured that he will appear – it would be strange for the president of the commission to be absent only to not appear – because Vox has requested it, but then he stated that “it is another matter whether I will respond.”

Alexia Putellas, tears with a taste of farewell

Barcelonismo woke up this Monday with a bittersweet taste on its lips. Half intoxicated with happiness after celebrating the passage to the sixth consecutive Champions final, half clouded by the tears of Alexia Putellas who may have stepped on the Camp Nou for the last time this Sunday dressed in blaugrana. The culé captain’s contract ends in June and, although she has the possibility to activate the optional year of her contract, her future is farther than close to Barcelona.
