    Laura Bozzo se encuentra prófuga de la Justicia, piden ayuda de la Interpol para atraparla

    [post_content_prefix] Laura Bozzo se encuentra prófuga de la justicia tras “desaparecer” en México, luego que el pasado 11 de agosto un juez ordenara su detención provisional por un caso de evasión fiscal en ese país.

    La Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) solicitó una ficha roja a la Interpol para detenerla donde se encuentre. La presentadora peruana será buscada en 190 países, debido a que no se presentó en el reclusorio de Santiaguito, en Almoloya, Estado de México, luego de que las autoridades giraron una orden de aprehensión en su contra.

    La orden se dio de manera expedita justamente por el temor de que la figura pública escapara. La presentadora del famoso programa “Laura en América” intentó llegar a un acuerdo para evitar la prisión, pero éste no prosperó.

    En este intento fallido, sus abogados presentaron un amparo argumentando que la mujer ya tiene 68 años y padece enfisema pulmonar. Dado a su supuesto estado de salud exigían compasión por parte de las autoridades. Sin embargo, no consiguieron nada.

    Alfredo Adame denunció a la presentadora

    El Alfredo Adame, quien ha tenido una conocida rivalidad con Bozzo fue quien la denunció. Esto fue lo que dijo al programa ‘El Gordo y La Flaca’.

     

    Bozzo está acusada de un presunto delito fiscal por 12 millones de pesos que obtuvo por la venta ilegal de un inmueble embargado por el Servicio de Administración Tributaria (SAT).

    El ganador del Grammy Latino 2018 por Álbum Vocal Pop Contemporáneo, Juan Luis Londoño “Papi Juancho” expresó su emoción en redes sociales sobre la creación de su escultura en cera que se exhibirá en 2022 en el Madame Tussauds de la ciudad de Orlando.

    “Soy un gran soñador. Recuerdo cuando estaba en la escuela secundaria diciendo que quería estar aquí en el museo y todo está sucediendo; nada es demasiado grande para que esto suceda”, afirmó Maluma.

    Siempre exaltando a la comunidad latina se refirió en su Twitter a “Esta va la la cultura!”

    Maluma, con sus 27 años, ha trabajado con infinidades de artistas de talla internacional y ha pegado su música hasta en todas las edades.

    Para poder hacer la réplica en cera de Maluma, los artistas de Madame Tussauds capturaron cada detalle de su anatomía en fotografías, incluso sus medidas.

    “Papi Juancho” vestirá una chaqueta blanca marca Versace y zapatos negros de Boggeta Veneta.

    Maluma afirma sentirse honrado de acompañar en forma de cera a gigantes del espectáculo, deportes e incluso política, como Madonna, Ricky Martin, Barack Obama, entre otros.

    Si aún no has visitado el Museo de Cera Madame Tussauds en la Ciudad de Orlando ya tienes una nueva razón para ir y disfrutar de estas impresionantes e históricas réplicas y, si ya fuiste, no te puedes perder el poder abrazar o posar junto a Maluma, así sea en cera.

  • Demanda de Johnny Depp contra su exesposa por difamación irá a juicio

    Demanda de Johnny Depp contra su exesposa por difamación irá a juicio

    [post_content_prefix] La demanda por difamación interpuesta por Johnny Depp contra su exesposa Amber Heard no será desestimada, por lo que procederá a juicio el próximo año.

    De acuerdo con USA TODAY, la jueza Penney Azcarate rechazó la moción de la también actriz para desestimar el caso, la tercera interpuesta por Heard desde que su exmarido la demandó en marzo de 2019.

    La moción de Heard se basó en el veredicto de un juez británico el año pasado, luego de que Depp demandara a la publicación The Sun por difamación y perdiera. Este determinó que un artículo de 2018 que lo llamó un “golpeador de esposas” no lo difamó, al tiempo que la mayoría de las acusaciones de abuso por parte de Heard podían ser probadas.

    Sin embargo, la jueza Azcarate consideró que ambos juicios eran diferentes y por ello no podía desestimar el caso en Virginia. El fallo constituye una victoria para Depp, luego de varios enfrentamientos legales tras su divorcio en 2016.

    A través de su abogado Benjamin Chew, Johnny Depp se dijo “gratificado” por la decisión de la corte. El juicio comenzaría el 11 de abril de 2022 en el condado de Fairfax, Virginia.

    La demanda se deriva de un artículo de opinión que Heard escribió y fue publicado por el Washington Post, impreso en dicho estado. En la pieza que data de diciembre de 2018, la actriz de “Aquaman” aseguró que se había convertido en el “rostro público” de la violencia doméstica.

    Depp la demandó meses después, exigiendo el pago de 50 millones de dólares por daños y asegurando que era la víctima de acusaciones falsas y parte de un elaborado montaje para generar publicidad favorable para Heard.

    La señorita Heard no es una víctima de abuso doméstico, sino una victimaria”, aseguró la demanda, la cual nunca mencionó a Depp por su nombre.

    El artículo de Amber Heard fue la continuación de un proceso de divorcio bastante público, en el que la actriz aseguró ser víctima de violencia doméstica e incluso solicitó una orden de restricción contra Depp.

    El nominado al Oscar, por su parte, ha negado las acusaciones, mientras que los oficiales que acudieron al departamento durante la noche del supuesto abuso dijeron que no hallaron evidencia de un crimen.

    Esta semana, Depp dijo al Sunday Times londinense que está siendo boicoteado en Hollywood, aludiendo a ser reemplazado en la saga cinematográfica “Fantastic Beasts” y otras represalias que ha enfrentado luego de las acusaciones de su exesposa.

  • Controversia sobre porsibles contagios durante masivo festival de música en Rosarito

    Controversia sobre porsibles contagios durante masivo festival de música en Rosarito

    [post_content_prefix]Baja California ha tenido durante las últimas horas, una recriminatoria mirada internacional bajo el festival de música llamado “Baja Beach Fest” en Rosarito, donde asistieron  miles de personas provenientes sobre todo, de los Estados Unidos.

    La cuenta de posibles contagios de coronavirus, no se contará localmente, pero sí el dinero ganado.

    Más de 20 mil personas reunidas en un mismo espacio y conviviendo en la mismas calles,  hoteles, restaurantes y hoy en su retorno a casa haciendo fila para cruzar a Estados Unidos, todo permitido por las mismas autoridades aún cuando Baja California  registra un aumento de casos COVID-19 rebasando la cifra de mil activos este fin de semana.

    “Mucha gente le va a generar menos riesgo en términos de contagio el estar en el evento, que no estar en el evento, partiendo de la base que toda la gente está testada o ya tienen su certificado de vacunación,” comentó Mario Escoto, Secretario de Desarrollo Económico y Turismo

    De acuerdo a las autoridades sanitarias, se cumplieron protocolos estrictos de salud, pidieron prueba de COVID-19 para entregar las pulseras de acceso, tomaron la temperatura y el cubrebocas fue obligatorio para ingresar.

    Aunque esta situación cambió una vez dentro del festival, “estaba amontonado, no había nada más que metro y medio, si estaban muchos amontonados y por eso traían máscaras”, dijo Antonio Kavaldjian, asistente Baja Beach Fest.

    [bc_video video_id=”6268257866001″ account_id=”5443452546001″ player_id=”H9lHBR6NS” embed=”in-page” padding_top=”56%” autoplay=”” min_width=”0px” playsinline=”” picture_in_picture=”” max_width=”640px” mute=”” width=”100%” height=”100%” ]

    Antonio y su esposa tenían sus boletos desde el  año pasado, vienen con un grupo de 8 amigos desde San Diego, y asistieron los 3 días al concierto, conscientes del riesgo del contagio de coronavirus.

    “Preocupado no sé, pero de todas maneras me voy a ir hacer una prueba mañana o al ratito, por si las dudas, existe la posibilidad, como cualquier cosa y me siento bien,” agregó Antonio.

    Restaurantes, hoteles, comerciantes, taxistas, todos se vieron beneficiados con la realización de este festival, pero aún con la derrama económica, no dejó contentos a los rosaritenses.

    “En lo que estamos ahora con el COVID-19 y el Delta, no debía estar pasando, porque qué pasa con la gente que se queda aquí, estos vinieron y emborracharon, ahora van y se mueren allá, y luego aquí queda el microbio otra vez,” dijo un residente de Rosarito.

    La reunión masiva no solo se dio en los 3 días del festival o en las calles de rosarito, este lunes las garitas estuvieron abarrotadas cuando todos regresaban a casa pues el 90% de las asistente cruzaron la frontera para asistir a este festival que el próximo fin de semana realizará la segunda parte.

    Se estima que se generaron más de 50 millones de dólares nada más en el primer fin de semana del festival Baja Beach Fest.

  • Bob Dylan habría abusado sexualmente de niña de 12 años

    Bob Dylan habría abusado sexualmente de niña de 12 años

    [post_content_prefix] Una demanda presentada en la ciudad de Nueva York afirma que el legendario cantautor Bob Dylan abusó sexualmente de una niña de 12 años en 1965, según documentos judiciales presentados el viernes.

    La mujer, hoy de 68 años e identificada en la demanda como “JC”, alega que “durante un período de seis semanas” el cantante “se hizo amigo y estableció una conexión emocional” con ella y, finalmente, la abusó sexualmente varias veces entre abril y mayo de 1965 cuando ella tenía 12 años.

    En una declaración a USA Today, un portavoz de Dylan dijo el lunes que “la afirmación de hace 56 años es falsa y será defendida enérgicamente”.

    LEE: Lyn May cuenta la verdad sobre su “embarazo”

    Los abogados de JC afirman que Dylan se hizo amigo de JC “para reducir sus inhibiciones con el objeto de abusar sexualmente de ella, lo que hizo, junto con el suministro de drogas, alcohol y amenazas de violencia física, dejándola con cicatrices emocionales y daños psicológicos hasta este día”, dice la demanda.

    La demanda afirma además que Dylan usó su condición de músico famoso “para ganarse su confianza y controlarla” y alega que abusó sexualmente de ella en su apartamento del Hotel Chelsea en la ciudad de Nueva York.

    Un abogado de JC se negó a explicar a CNN cómo llegó ella a conocer a Dylan y no dio más detalles sobre la naturaleza de las denuncias de abuso sexual.

    “La denuncia habla por sí sola. Comprobaremos todas las acusaciones en un tribunal de justicia”, dijo el abogado Daniel Isaacs. “La denuncia se presentó después de mucha investigación y una minuciosa revisión y no hay duda de que ella estuvo con él en el Hotel Chelsea”.

    JC, que ahora reside en Greenwich, Connecticut, dijo en la demanda que ha sufrido y continúa sufriendo “angustia, humillación y vergüenza mental grave y severa, así como pérdidas económicas” y busca daños compensatorios y punitivos por parte de Dylan.

    Cabe destacar que la demanda se presentó un día antes de que expirara la Ley de Víctimas Infantiles de Nueva York el 14 de agosto de 2021.

Ha vendido más de 125 millones de discos durante su carrera, y algunas de sus canciones más famosas incluyen “The Times They Are a-Changin’”, “Like a Rolling Stone” y “Blowin’ in the Wind”. Asimismo, cuenta con una mención especial del Premio Pulitzer y el Premio Nobel de Literatura.

We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in the agreement governing our current credit facility (“the 2017 Credit Facility”) and does not include gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses, syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments, revenue from FCC spectrum incentive auction less related expenses, expenses associated with investments, EBITDA attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest, acquisitions and dispositions and certain pro-forma cost savings.

    (5)

    Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense, capital expenditures and non-recurring cash expenses plus dividend income, and other operating gain (loss). Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, and less interest income.

    Net revenue in the second quarter of 2021 totaled $178.4 million, up 295% from $45.1 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $118.8 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to our acquisition of a majority interest in Cisneros Interactive during the fourth quarter of 2020. In addition, of the overall increase, approximately $7.1 million was attributable to our television segment, primarily due to increases in local and national advertising revenue, partially offset by decreases in political revenue and revenue from spectrum usage rights. Additionally, of the overall increase, approximately $7.3 million was attributable to our radio segment primarily due to increases in local and national advertising revenue, partially offset by a decrease in political revenue.

    Cost of revenue in the second quarter of 2021 totaled $109.0 million compared to $6.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increased costs of revenue associated with the increase in net revenue due to our acquisition of a majority interest in Cisneros Interactive during the fourth quarter of 2020.

    Operating expenses in the second quarter of 2021 totaled $41.4 million, up 25% from $33.0 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to our acquisition of a majority interest in Cisneros Interactive during the fourth quarter of 2020, and due to an increase in expenses associated with the increase in advertising revenue, partially offset by decreases in bad debt and salary expense associated with furloughs and layoffs that occurred in 2020.

    Corporate expenses in the second quarter of 2021 totaled $7.3 million, up 36% from $5.4 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in salaries, audit fees and financial due diligence fees.
