Ximena Herrera joins The House of the Famous Mexico

Sofía Aragón, second finalist of Miss Universe 2019, does not stop. Now he is betting on the vertical format with a psychological thriller about a kidnapping, in which he would also star.

“Vertical stories are what are working a lot,” he explains. “It is a psychological thriller series that talks about a kidnapping. I am fascinated by talking about mental health and, although it is not about that as such, it is required after going through something like that.”

Projects underway

She writes the script herself. The former host of TV Azteca would leave total production in the hands of another person. Sofía studied production, direction and acting at the New York Film Academy and founded her own company.

With her he made the short film The Night, inspired by the tragic loss of his friend Cheslie Kryst, former Miss USA. This work, released in 2024, earned her the award for Best Producer at the LA Independent Women Film Award that year.

Now he is looking to turn that short into a feature film. The woman from Guadalajara is looking for financing and dreams of having a director lead the project. To do this, he attended Iberseries in Madrid and the Platinum Awards, where he forged alliances.

“It is now what I am giving priority to. The short film gave me a lot of visibility about what I want to tell. I hope to soon be able to give more news,” he comments.

He also acts

In parallel, Sofía is still active as an actress. She participated in the series Velvet and premiered the feature film Woman from Another Time on Canela TV, her first leading role in film, alongside the Argentine Rodrigo Guirao.

“She is a woman from 1965 who has to make an important decision. She meets an alushe who gives her a path in life and that transforms her,” she explained to EL UNIVERSAL.

Controversy resolved

Makeup artist Sergio Vilchis confirmed that Ninel Conde settled the debt he had with him for work done more than six months ago. Controversy erupted when Vilchis publicly denounced the lack of payment.

In a video on TikTok, Vilchis reported that the actress’s team contacted him and resolved the financial matter. “The debt they had pending with me has now been resolved,” he declared. He thanked the support received, but clarified that his intention was never to damage Conde’s image. “My goal was not to generate hate, but to respect my work,” he said.

The conflict began when Vilchis worked on the staging of “El tenorio comico.” Although they told him there would be few performances due to the budget, he never received payment. After trying to contact the artist and her team without success, she chose to make her complaint public.

So far, Ninel Conde has not issued a statement on the complaint or the payment. The singer and actress continues to focus on her projects, including the production of her docuseries “Ninel Conde sinfilter” for the ViX platform.

Bonnie Tyler dies at 75

The Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler, whose real name was Gaynor Hopkins, died in Portugal at the age of 75, according to The New York Times. Born on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Wales, she became a global phenomenon thanks to her song “Total Eclipse of the Heart”, a pop anthem that dominated the charts in the 80s.

The First Minister of Wales regretted the news through X:

“I am very saddened to hear of the death of Bonnie Tyler. Wales has lost one of its greatest icons, who brought joy to audiences around the world through her music. I extend my deepest condolences to her family, her friends and her fans.”

Previous health problems

Days earlier, on May 6, it was reported that Tyler was hospitalized in Portugal following emergency intestinal surgery. Her condition worsened, she was induced into a coma, and although her spokesperson reported improvement, she suffered a sudden relapse. On April 30 he had been admitted urgently for an intestinal perforation.

His musical legacy transcends generations. “Total Eclipse of the Heart” remains a benchmark of eighties pop, and her powerful voice established her as an icon of Welsh music.
