The Rolling Stones release Foreign Tongues, their new blues rock album

The British band presents its new album with rejuvenated videos and stellar collaborations.

Sixty years and still rolling

The Rolling Stones present Foreign Tongues, an album that reaffirms their essence in British blues rock. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood, 79, sound fresh and contemporary, but with the experience of a life dedicated to rhythm and blues.

The song In The Stars is one of the strong songs. Their video clip, created with deepfake technology, rejuvenates the band in the style of Dorian Gray. The actress Odessa A’zion, from the film Marty Supreme, appears in it.

Jealous Lover is perhaps the most powerful song on the album, featuring Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit). The lyrics address an obsessive and toxic relationship, an eternal vicious circle of wanting to leave but not letting go.

The album features special guests: Chad Smith, of Red Hot Chili Peppers, plays the late Charlie Watts’ drums on some songs; Robert Smith, from The Cure, contributes his guitar on Divine Intervention; and Paul McCartney plays bass on Covered in You.

In addition, they include a version of You Know I’m No Good, by Amy Winehouse, as a tribute to the singer.

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.
