Maribel Guardia expresses solidarity with Aylín Mujica for the loss of her son

Arantza Ruiz, actress of soap operas such as Vencer elpast and Eternamente loving us, is the tenth confirmed member of the fourth season of La Casa de los Famosos (LCDLF). His parents, actor Alejandro Ruiz and producer Socorro Méndez, were not surprised by his decision.

“They told me I’m crazy, but since I’m an adult I can do what I want,” she confessed.

The singer and gamer also recognized the risks of the format: some celebrities have gained popularity, others have faced criticism. However, he is confident that this opportunity comes for his benefit.

Expectations inside the house

Arantza wants a fun atmosphere. “I hope it is a very fun house, I feel that the people who go there really want to have a good time,” he said. Although he is aware of the controversies of past editions, he believes that the production will prioritize entertainment over conflicts.

His main fear: his humor. “I have black and politically incorrect humor. I’m afraid that they won’t understand that it’s a joke, because comedy is very delicate,” he explained.

No fixed strategy

Despite knowing nine of the 15 participants, Arantza does not plan a strategy. “I feel like any strategy falls apart, because here the rules change,” he said. He knew in January that he would enter the reality show, which allowed him to finish recording the telenovela Land of love and courage, which premieres in September in the United States and in October in Mexico.

The actress joins a diverse cast: Ernesto Laguardia, Karina Torres, Ximena Herrera, Aldo Rendón, Moisés Peñaloza, Cynthia Klitbo, Yahir, Flor Vigna and Masad Altamimi. “I love that there are actors and singers with experience. I want to learn from them,” he commented.

His goal is to reach the final, but he knows that the format takes him to the limit. “I hope I don’t reach my limit. If I stay a week or reach the final, I will be satisfied that I dared,” she concluded.

Mel C gets married in a country wedding with nods to the Spice Girls

Former Spice Girls member Mel C married Australian model Chris Dingwall on July 18. The ceremony took place at Country House Cumbria, northwest England, a country-style venue chosen by the couple.

Mel C and Dingwall met in 2023 through an exclusive dating app. According to people close to her, the singer wanted a small celebration, without ostentation. And so it was, although with some details that recalled her time as a pop star in the 90s.

Emma Bunton, Melanie Brown and Geri Halliwell-Horner attended the wedding. Scarlett, daughter of Mel C and the result of her relationship with Thomas Starr, participated as bridesmaid.

Dress designed by Victoria Beckham

Mel C wore a white backless dress, designed by Victoria Beckham, also a former Spice Girl. The designer could not attend due to commitments in the United States related to the World Cup. “It was a gift from Victoria – they are very close,” a source told the Mail on Sunday. Beckham was sorry to miss the ceremony.

The wedding went off without a hitch, except for the appearance of a herd of cows that approached while the couple exchanged vows, surrounded by the natural landscape.

Mel C is preparing for a world tour that will begin in September in Montreal, Canada, and will include performances in the United States, England, Asia and several European countries.

The actress and singer Mar Contreras, fifth place in the last edition of La Casa de los Famosos México, issued a warning to future participants: within the reality show they will face versions of themselves that they may not have known. Her top tip: keep the happy place in mind.

Emotional survival tips

Contreras, known for novels such as For loving without law, explained to EL UNIVERSAL that the contestants must know that they will be judged by millions of people. “They are going to experience very strong emotional issues. It is a stage of survival, there are many ‘selves’ that they are going to encounter,” he said.

The actress shared some advice from her husband: “When I felt lost, I remembered my happy place. That made me reconnect with myself.”

The new season starts on April 26. So far, those confirmed are Cynthia Klitbo, Ximena Herrera, Arantza Ruiz, the singer Yahir, the actor Ernesto Laguardia and the content creator Karina Torres.

Impact on your career

Before entering, Contreras already knew reality shows: he participated in Operación Triunfo. He recommends not speaking badly about anyone and assuming that the exposure can be positive or negative. In his case, he went from 180 thousand to more than 800 thousand followers on social networks.

“Many people who didn’t know who I was met me. My networks grew, and that benefits the producers. I opened the door of my life and that generated empathy. But with or without the house, I am the same actress, the same quality at work,” she stated.

Recently, Contreras resumed her acting career as the antagonist of Land of love and courage, José Alberto Castro’s new telenovela that will premiere in the fall.
