ChiquitiBum: 40 years of the baton that marked Mexico

A wedding that paralyzed New York

Singer Taylor Swift and NFL player Travis Kelce tied the knot in New York over the Fourth of July weekend. The ceremony took place at Madison Square Garden, transformed into a giant garden for more than a thousand guests.

Adam Sandler officiated the event. Swift had her brother Austin as man of honor, while Kelce chose his brother Jason as best man. The bride’s dress was by Christian Dior, with Louboutin shoes and Cartier jewelry. Kelce also wore Dior.

Among the attendees were Ed Sheeran, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper, Hugh Grant, Jessica Chastain, Dakota Johnson, Camila Cabello, Karlie Kloss, Ethan Hawke, Lena Dunham and the Haim sisters. Stevie Nicks gave a special performance.

The wedding was planned in absolute secrecy. Guests signed confidentiality agreements and the city beefed up security over the long weekend. At the end, the screens at Madison Square Garden showed the message:

“Just T&T Married”

And the Empire State Building lit up blue.

The love story began in July 2023, when Kelce attended the Eras Tour in Kansas City and tried to give Swift a bracelet with her number. Although she failed, the singer agreed to meet him. They got engaged in August 2025.

According to reports, they exchanged handwritten vows in small notebooks, an intimate moment despite the magnitude of the event.

With the union of the most influential pop artist and an NFL star, the United States closed its independence weekend with an event that dominated culture and social networks.

Paul Stanley published a touching message on Instagram for the birthday of his father, the late driver Paco Stanley. This Friday, July 3, he would turn 84 years old.

“So my kid boss, today 84 years old, I always love you in my (heart). Your granddaughter is beautiful, her name is Victoria, she asks mom for water all night and she calls me Dada hahahahahahaha. And it goes to Pumas (she says puna),” wrote Paul.

The publication includes a photo of Paco Stanley in his youth. Colleagues like Karla Díaz, Shiky and Andrea Escalona showed support with emoticons.

A memory that hurts and celebrates

Paco Stanley died in 1999 due to an attack. Paul was then 14 years old, an age at which paternal presence is key. This week, during the premiere of “Viva la magic!” from Disney on Ice, Paul attended with his wife Joely Bernat and daughter Victoria.

“It was typical to go to the circus, you went to your lunette and had fun, I did experience it well and today I am experiencing it with my daughter,” he recalled.

For Paul, being a father was always a dream. “I’m trying to give him the best, to have a good childhood,” he commented. The process, he assured, is a constant learning.

The emotional Instagram post and recent statements reflect the bond Paul maintains with his father, even two decades after his departure.

Support for the Mexican National Team

Angélica María did not hide her excitement and support for the tricolor team before the match against England. The singer and actress assured that Mexico will win 2-0 and highlighted the team’s perseverance as the key to making a difference compared to previous generations.

“We are going to win 2-0! I am very prepared, on Sunday we are going to win guys,” she expressed.

The so-called “bride of Mexico” also called for caution for those attending Fan Fest or celebrations in public squares. He asked not to bring minors and avoid excesses to prevent tragedies like the one that occurred this week, where four people died trapped in a crowd.

Angélica María said that she watched the match against Ecuador with her daughter Angélica Vale and her grandchildren, in a restaurant in Los Angeles, celebrating with other compatriots.

Return to the recording forums

This Friday she was presented as a guest actress in the soap opera “Amor de Morocco”, produced by Rosy Ocampo. It is an adaptation of the 1971 melodrama “Italian Girl Comes to Get Married”, which Angélica María herself starred in at that time. Now she plays Ornela Donatti, a high society figure linked to the world of fashion.

“She is a fundamental part of the story; although it is a small participation, Ornela becomes very important in Yasmine’s life, because he discovers her and convinces her to have a new life,” explained the actress.

Rosy Ocampo commented that, due to Angélica María’s schedule, she only accepted a special participation of four days of recording. The producer described her presence as a tribute to the career of the actress, whose character Valeria Donatti still lingers in the public’s memory.
