Rolling Stones release Foreign Tongues with star guests and nostalgia

The Rolling Stones announce their new album with luxury guests and a nod to Charlie Watts.

The Stones are back at it with Foreign Tongues

Inside the converted Williamsburgh Savings Bank in Brooklyn, a place that seems straight out of a period movie, the Rolling Stones put together a VIP event that left everyone wanting more. The band confirmed that their new album, Foreign Tongues, will arrive on July 10, and they have already released the first single, “In The Stars.”

The advertisement with humor and stars

To make it more epic, they invited comedian Conan O’Brien to host the ad. It was a total success. “I think this is the one, after years of working in obscurity,” O’Brien joked, as celebrities including Leonardo DiCaprio and Lindsey Vonn waited in the room. The chemistry between the band and Conan was pure gold.

Album details

Foreign Tongues was recorded in a month in London and brings an emotional surprise: a posthumous participation by Charlie Watts, the drummer who died in 2021. Jagger described the song as “a punk-rock piece, fast and vibrant.” In addition, the album features luxury collaborations: Steve Winwood, Paul McCartney, Robert Smith of The Cure and Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers.

“Paul (McCartney) really wanted to get involved. There was no intimidation. He wanted to play with the band,” Jagger said.

Producer Andrew Watt, known for working with Post Malone, was also at the helm. The band noted that he gets them going when something isn’t flowing in the studio. Even his parents were in the room, applauding like crazy.

The art and the clues

The album cover, called “Mr. Ugly” by Jagger, is a work of artist Nathaniel Quinn. It is a mix of the members’ faces, symbolizing their journey. And for the most dedicated fans, the Stones played with clues: from “The Cockroaches” posters in London to a limited-edition vinyl of “Rough and Twisted.” Quite a detective game that ended in this ad.

Foreign Tongues promises to be a nostalgic but fresh trip, with that irreverent touch that only the Stones know how to give. Ready for July 10?

Epstein’s inheritance and the possible millionaire legacy to his ex-girlfriend

Epstein's ex-girlfriend could receive millions, but her assets have shrunk.

Karyna Shuliak, a 37-year-old dentist from Belarus, was Jeffrey Epstein’s last partner. According to Department of Justice documents published by The New York Times, she could inherit up to $100 million from the convicted sex offender, who died in prison in 2019.

Relationship and will

Shuliak and Epstein had an eight-year relationship. They met when she was 21 and had just arrived in New York. Epstein called her his “favorite,” helping her get into Columbia Dental School and obtain permanent residency.

She managed his assets and was the last person Epstein called before he died. In a will signed on August 8, 2019, two days before his death, Epstein named her the primary beneficiary of his fortune, which included properties in Manhattan, Palm Beach, New Mexico, Paris, two private islands and a 33-carat diamond ring.

The trust and the victims

After Epstein’s death, the assets passed to the “1953 Trust”, a trust under judicial management. This fund has been used to pay compensation to victims of their crimes and cover legal expenses. Most of the properties have been sold or earmarked for compensation, so the final amount Shuliak will receive is still in the legal process.

Comic-Con 2027: Marvel reveals Black Panther III and Ghost Rider

Marvel announces new Black Panther and confirms Gosling as Ghost Rider in 2028.

Marvel Studios took advantage of its presentation at San Diego Comic-Con International to announce two projects that will arrive in 2028: Black Panther III and Ghost Rider.

New heir for Wakanda

David Jonsson took the stage alongside director Ryan Coogler. Letitia Wright and Winston Duke greeted him with smiles. Jonsson will play the son of T’Challa, the character made famous by Chadwick Boseman.

“Thank you to this family that I have the honor and blessing to join. I don’t want to say too much, because I want to let the screen speak,” said the 32-year-old actor, known for Industry and Alien: Romulus.

The release of Black Panther III is scheduled for December 15, 2028. Boseman died in 2020. The first film in the franchise grossed more than $1.3 billion and was the first superhero film nominated for an Oscar for best film.

Gosling rides the infernal motorcycle

Ryan Gosling will repeat with director Shawn Levy in Ghost Rider. On the panel, Levy recalled his time in Hall H two years ago to promote Deadpool & Wolverine.

Gosling greeted Kevin Feige and confessed that he had wanted to play the character for a long time. His partner, Eva Mendes, starred alongside Nicolas Cage in the original 2007 version, before the Marvel cinematic universe. The rights have since reverted to Marvel Studios.

More surprises on the panel

Feige announced that Avengers: Endgame will be re-released in theaters on September 25 with new scenes that connect to Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for December 18.

A trailer showed Victor Von Doom (Robert Downey Jr.) bonding with Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) and Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby). Sue calls Doom a broken person: “Everything he loved was taken away from him.” Downey Jr. joked calling them “best friends.”

Ryan Reynolds burst in from the audience dressed as a gray Deadpool. He asked Paul Rudd why Thor cried in the previous film. Rudd replied: “He is a Wrexham fan,” referring to the football team of which Reynolds is a part-owner.

The panel was the most anticipated of the event. Marvel seeks to reboot its brand, affected by the excess of series on Disney+ and mixed reviews of Captain America: Brave New World.
