World Cup 2026: halftime show brings together global stars

New participants confirmed

The fourth season of La Casa de los Famosos México already has a full cast. The production announced this Tuesday in Mexico City that the model and influencer Yanet García —known as “the weather girl”— and the sports journalist Memo Schutz are included as the 14th and 15th inhabitants of the competition.

Both enter the total isolation format, where alliances and strategy will define their permanence. García has millions of followers on social media, while Schutz is a familiar face in Mexican sports journalism.

The confirmation was given during a press conference in the capital, where the new members shared their expectations. They join a diverse cast that includes actors, singers and other showbiz personalities.

Start of the season

The broadcasts will begin this Sunday, July 26 at 8:00 p.m. on the Las Estrellas channel. The reality show promises new dynamics and surprises. The participants will live in total confinement for several weeks, competing for a million-dollar prize and the title of the winner of the successful Televisa format.

Pedro Sola once again addressed the issue of his comments about dogs, which generated criticism on social networks. The host of Ventaneando denied being a bad person and asked to support animal rights activism.

What did he say about dogs?

After the controversy unleashed by his statements, the entertainment program sought to clarify the situation. On Tuesday, July 21, after a live apology the previous week and the reading of a statement — where Pati Chapoy, Sola and their colleagues showed commitment to animal protection — the space returned to the topic.

“Educate myself and raise awareness on the issue of animal education… at the end of the day, I’m not a bad person, I said things I shouldn’t have, but I have understood my mistake,” said Sola.

The driver explained that, after measuring the scope of his words, he now joins a campaign that prioritizes the well-being of dogs. Together with Jimena Pérez “la Choco”, Mónica Castañeda and Ricardo Manjarez, he assured that each one is committed to supporting animal protection associations.

The gesture seeks to respond to the indignation that his comments caused on networks, although without further statements involved.

The comment that sparked the controversy

Content creator Luis Arturo Villar, known as Luisito Comunica, became a trend after receiving criticism and aggressive messages from BTS followers. The incident occurred on July 19, during the 2026 World Cup final between Argentina and Spain in Miami.

During the halftime show, the South Korean group performed Dynamite. Luisito posted a video on Instagram saying that no one reacted to the show. “No one got excited about BTS. But really NO ONE,” he wrote.

In the same clip, he added: “It’s really funny, you can tell we’re at a football fan event, because the BTS one just came out, the Korean guy is very famous, and I don’t see anyone really excited.”

Excuse me with an ironic tone

Hours later, the YouTuber uploaded another video. This time, he apologized to the ARMY community and revealed that he had received thousands of insults and threats. “I’m scared, let me know. It’s not a joke, I’m really scared. I woke up to thousands of messages from very angry people, insulting me, threatening me,” he declared.

With a sarcastic tone, he added: “I know they are capable of destroying lives. I want to apologize to them and I hope we can be friends.” He assured that he made a mistake and that, contrary to popular belief, he enjoys the group’s music.

The video accumulated divided reactions between those who supported his comment and those who considered it a provocation. As of this writing, neither Luisito nor BTS representatives have issued additional statements.
