After becoming the face of microdramas, Joseph Purcell is reflecting on how much his acting career has changed. “[When His Nerd blew up], it didn’t really feel like I was the face of microdramas. Nothing had changed in my real life,” Joseph, 27, who is the son of actor Dominic Purcell, exclusively tells Us. “But the momentum of the microdramas coming out and some of them being successful on the internet allowed me to have bigger auditions that I wasn’t getting.” Joseph’s work on microdramas at CandyJar — including His Nerd and Falling for My Bodyguard — “changed a bit”…

Sheinbaum’s mañanera in 60 seconds 🕯️Sheinbaum reflects on Mexican beliefs ahead of Day of the Dead: The Treasury Hall of the National Palace was decorated with cempasúchil plants and Catrina figures for Friday’s mañanera, which included a live cross to Day of the Dead celebrations in Fort Worth, Texas.

Lily Allen, shameless pop ironist and self-satirist, has never shied from public vitriol—a quality that has come in handy as fans have reacted to her live shows behind West End Girl. Some lamented the format—essentially a full-length rendition of the LP, nothing more; venues were downsized as excitement (and prurient interest in the album’s salacious subject matter) began to dull. But like any good pop trickster, Allen has turned a potential PR crisis into an opportunity for mischief: in this case, blue-dot fever (the term du jour for a Ticketmaster seat plan full of unsold tickets) made manifest in a…
The area known as Los Altos de Jalisco, located in the northeastern part of the state, is renowned as a major tequila-producing region. However, its environment and biodiversity are remarkably complex and unique.

These qualities, which shape the region’s unforgettable landscapes, were deeply appreciated by Fernando González Gortázar, one of Mexico’s most recognized architects and sculptors. He was commissioned in the early 1990s to create an architectural complex in Jalisco, a project he would dedicate…
