Florinda Meza breaks her silence in new documentary

The actress reveals intimate secrets and reveals her truth about the comedy legend in a documentary with unpublished material.

La Doña raises her voice (and it is not a skit)

Just when you thought that Chespirito’s post-mortem drama had reached its peak with the HBO Max series, Florinda Meza arrives with her documentary to say “hello, neighbors, you didn’t count on my cleverness.” Four months after the last episode of “Chespirito: sin lovingly wanting” left us with more questions than answers, the eternal Doña Florinda is about to release her own version of the events. And it promises to be juicier than gossip from Chapulín Colorado.

The feature film directed by Javier Domz (yes, the same one who has been behind this information bomb since the beginning) will not only show us unpublished photos and videos of the most iconic marriage on Mexican television, but will also recreate Gómez Bolaños himself through Artificial Intelligence. Because in 2025, even ghosts are digital. The million dollar question is: will AI be able to capture that mischievous look that stole the hearts of entire generations?

It’s not resentment, it’s clearing up the record

The director insists that this is not a direct response to the series where Florinda was basically turned into a ghost character with her same characteristics (subtle, right?). But come on, it’s as obvious as Chavo del 8’s mustache. While in the HBO Max production they showed us a woman who caused chaos in the production and distanced Chespirito from his family, Florinda comes to tell her truth after being crucified on social networks to the point that they asked to remove her statue in Juchipila, Zacatecas.

In “Dare to Live: Florinda Meza” (a title that sounds more like a reggaeton song than a documentary, but hey, we’re in the age of streaming), the actress reveals the best kept secrets behind the cameras. He will tell us what those days of recording were really like, the mysterious elixir that kept the couple’s passion alive for decades (spoiler: it was not the chilindrina formula), and the devastating loss that Roberto’s departure meant. The juiciest thing: he claims that he co-wrote many chapters of Chespirito and never received credit. Who said the women behind great men didn’t have stories to tell?

Mark your calendars, people

For all those who have been more aware of this premiere than their beloved Paty’s Professor Jirafales, the big day finally has a date: November 25 on Prime Video. Because what better way to celebrate the month that no one knows if it is for buying or demonstrating than with a documentary that promises to uncover all the secret files.

This production began its gestation in 2020, when Domz approached Florinda with the idea. After learning about the rival bioseries, the director decided to make reshoots at the end of last year, because in the streaming war, fresh information is the most powerful weapon. The delay until November allowed us to add important testimonies such as Juan Antonio Edwards, Francisco Gattorno, Oscar Bonfiglio, Alejandra Ávalo and Aylin Mujica. With a duration of just over an hour, it promises to be the most talked about binge-watching of the season.

Concerts of El Gran Silencio and La Costumbre were moved to July due to damage to the stage.

Changes to the FIFA Fan Festival musical lineup

The weather conditions over the weekend forced adjustments to the FIFA Fan Festival Monterrey programming. Organizers confirmed that the concerts scheduled for this Saturday were rescheduled due to the damage the Live Stage suffered during Friday’s storm.

The presentation of El Gran Silencio was moved to July 2, while La Costumbre —whose show was suspended on Friday— will now play on July 7. This was reported by Apodaca Group on social networks.

Despite the changes, the venue will open its doors at 5:00 p.m. The broadcasts of the World Cup matches are still on: Ecuador vs. Curacao at 6:00 p.m., and Tunisia vs. Japan at 10:00 p.m., both in the Food & Soul area.

Caution for the weather

The rescheduling occurs a day after heavy rains and winds of up to 50 km/h caused damage to various facilities in the Fundidora Park. Civil Protection of Nuevo León maintains a preventive notice for the afternoon and evening of this Saturday, which is why it asks the population to take extreme care in the metropolitan area.

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 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.

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.
