Aislinn Derbez and Mauricio Ochmann: ‘Never say never’

Six years after their separation, the ex-couple is once again giving something to talk about with their new film.

The chemistry between Aislinn Derbez and Mauricio Ochmann continues to generate conversation. Six years after their separation, the ex-married couple maintains a relationship so close that speculation about a possible reconciliation does not go out of style.

“Never say never”: the position of both

Their reunion on the big screen as the protagonists of the romantic film “Hasta el fin del mundo” once again fuels expectations. In an interview with Qué magazine, both shared their position.

When questioned, Ochmann responded:

“The coin is in the air.”

Aislinn agreed:

“Never say never.”

Neither completely closes the door to a loving reconnection. However, they recognized that in the current stage, focused on raising their daughter Kailani, they have found balance.

“What I do feel is that we have been through everything. Through the most beautiful things, the most painful, the strongest. We have seen the dark side of each person. And yet we always return to love,” added the actress.

A story that waited a decade

The project originates ten years ago, when they were still a couple. Aislinn revealed that the script came into her hands when they had been dating for four years. She couldn’t help but cry when she read it while they were traveling together on a plane.

Various circumstances delayed production and, over time, their relationship ended. Years later, they met again to bring the story to the screen from a very different reality.

The film will hit theaters on July 23. For Ochmann, the result reflects the emotional charge and nostalgia that accompanied the project and his own story:

“Since we met, we have always been a team. Being and not being. Inside and outside.”

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner celebrate religious wedding in Sicily

The singer and the actor got married in a Sicilian villa with 150 guests and a Michelin star banquet.

Dua Lipa and Callum Turner have already shared the first images of their religious wedding, held on May 31 at the Villa Valguarnera, in Palermo, Sicily. The wedding occurred six days after the civil ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall, London.

The details of the ceremony

The singer wore a dress designed by Matthieu Blazy, creative director of Chanel, made with gold and silver beads and a train adorned with 25,000 feathers. Her veil included a feather headdress that, according to the Daily Mail, required 3,220 hours of embroidery. Callum Turner opted for a Louis Vuitton suit.

The official photographs were taken by British photographer David Sims, specialized in contemporary fashion. Among the guests were Donatella Versace, Charli XCX and Elton John, who livened up the evening by singing “Your Song” for the couple.

The wedding banquet

The reception, valued at around £1.5 million, brought together 150 people including family and friends. The menu, led by Michelin-starred chef Tony Lo Coco, included three courses: Sicilian pasta with eggplant, chickpea fritters and fried potato balls. For dessert they served cannolis and cassata, a traditional Italian dessert.

Tom Dreesen, pioneer of interracial comedy, dies

The comedian who broke racial barriers and opened for Sinatra has died at the age of 86.

A pioneer of interracial comedy

Tom Dreesen, who with Tim Reid formed one of the first interracial stand-up duos in the United States and years later opened for Frank Sinatra, died on Wednesday at the age of 86. The news was confirmed by his publicist Lori De Waal. The cause of death was not revealed.

From Chicago to history

The duo met in Chicago and in 1969 they created Tim and Tom. Amid racial tensions, they used humor to address social issues and unite diverse audiences. They worked together until the mid-seventies. Reid later shined solo as DJ Venus Flytrap in the comedy WKRP in Cincinnati; Dreesen was a guest star on that show.

Solo career and television

After separating, Dreesen perfected his stand-up and achieved more than 500 appearances on national television. He was a guest 60 times on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and frequently appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman, with whom he had been friends since the seventies at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood.

His last television appearance was last week on Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen. For 14 years he opened for Frank Sinatra, with whom he established a close relationship.

Legacy and family

Dreesen leaves behind his daughters Amy and Jennifer — from his marriage to Maryellen Subock, which ended in divorce in 1984 — and seven grandchildren. He was predeceased by his son Tommy.

Judge orders man to stay away from Sabrina Carpenter for five years

Judge orders man to stay away from Sabrina Carpenter after multiple attempts to enter her home.

A Los Angeles judge issued a five-year restraining order against William Applegate, 31, after attempting to enter singer Sabrina Carpenter’s home on more than a dozen occasions.

During the hearing, Applegate claimed that he and Carpenter are part of a classified military program. According to their version, they must “be together as soon as possible” for reasons of “national and global security.”

The most recent incident occurred last month, when Applegate hit a security guard and was arrested. He reached the front door of Carpenter’s residence in Los Angeles after crossing a neighboring property. He returned in the following days, prompting the judge to issue a temporary restraining order on May 29.

Applegate admitted to having been at all of the aforementioned appearances. He claimed Carpenter wanted him there, but said he was “more than willing” to stay away if she asked him personally. He maintained that the police and the singer’s representatives were conspiring against her.

Carpenter’s attorney, Blair Berk, said in court that “she fears for her own personal safety and the safety of her family members.” Berk questioned Applegate only to confirm that the social media posts about Carpenter were his.

Judge David L. Wasserman took Applegate’s claims seriously. “I understand that it is your belief that, to save the world, you and the petitioner must be together,” he stated. “I expect you to obey the order, not what you think is right, not what you think the military tells you.”

The order requires Applegate to stay at least 100 yards (91 meters) from Carpenter, her sister and her sister’s partner, who live with her. It also prohibits him from any type of communication and the possession of firearms.

In his petition, Carpenter described Applegate as “a complete stranger” with whom he has never spoken nor does he wish to do so.
