This Artist-Run Mallorca Hotel Gives the Farm-to-Table Movement Its Flowers
Photo: Laura Prim Mallorca and the space she's cultivated with von Stein and her team here—all natural light, golden sunsets, and sparkling seas has heavily influenced Bellm's own creative work. It's an evolved aesthetic that's articulated in Bellm's paradisiacal book, La Isla. (Now on its third edition). Other photographers and brands often book the hotel for shoots in the winter. They also host artist residencies, with the creatives making their own additions to the hotel's vibe: L.A. artist Laura Sotowalls's ashtrays are dotted around, the walls are adorned with an eclectic paintings, and hand-painted ceramics are in every room. (Some staff have even received tattoos from visiting artists.) Books and magazines from Lopez and Bellm's own archive—about faith, art, and local flora—decorate the suites' coffee tables. 'There's no stereotype of a person here—we've got the super cool fashion crowd, a family from Hawaii, some bikers who just came upon us,' says Bellm. 'I wanted to create a space for everyone to feel welcome that I wished for the island when I first came. Everyone is able to experience our vision of luxury.' Luxury, defined by Hotel Corazón, means panoramic views instead of wall-mounted TVs, and head chef Eliza Parchanska's flower-adorned, heartfelt cooking, which features produce plucked from Emma Phillips's farm just yards below the kitchen. It's slow morning group yoga and lively guest conversations by the glittering pool, as two donkeys watch on. It's staff that remember your favorite cocktail by the pool, drop extra bread on your table for the last swipes of hummus before you ask, and bring you rare citrus from the garden you've never tasted before. 'The amount of engagements here is unbelievable—and the relationships formed and love stories that happen,' says Bellm. 'It's an aptly named hotel, I think.' ('Corazón' translates to 'heart.') Across dinner on my last evening, there are two birthdays and an anniversary. On my final morning, a couple quietly enjoyed their wedding breakfast. It's Eliza Parchanska's second season as head chef, collaborating with farmer-in-residence Emma Philips (formerly of L.A.'s Flamingo Estate and Big Sur's Esalen Institute) to use organic produce from the hotel's farm. Their focus is on both cultivating sustainability and its own new culinary traditions—Bellm and I take a walk through the farm, seeing fat tomatoes and juicy peaches, as well as their first ever yield of bananas, and rare varieties of kumquats and buddha's hand citrons, all emerging from rows of trellises and beds Philips and Bellm have worked hard to upkeep. Parchanska says her mission has always been to create a healthy seasonal menu using local products that elevates the hotel's food offering from the rest of the island, blending her Eastern European background with Mallorcan cuisine.

Jennifer Lopez, 55, Performs Steamy Dance That Shocks Fans
Jennifer Lopez, 55, Performs Steamy Dance That Shocks Fans originally appeared on Parade. Jennifer Lopez isn't holding back even at 55. Before her Up All Night: Live in 2025 in Budapest, the award-winning singer once again showcased her star power at the Cook Music Fest, which took place in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in Spain's Canary Islands. On Saturday, the global superstar set the stage on fire after delivering a steamy, high-energy performance. A video of Lopez went viral as she performed an interpretative dance along with two male dancers. During her set, the 'On the Floor' songstress wore a shimmery silver long-sleeved body suit, which matched her silver boots. 55 year old Jennifer Lopez puts on shocking raunchy performance while crawling on all fours with male dancers. — Oli London (@OliLondonTV) July 20, 2025 While she is known for her fearless and top-notch performance, some fans seemed uncomfortable with her provocative dance moves. 'She thinks the raunchier the better. Where is someone to tell her: no, Jen?' a commenter said. An X user expressed a bold opinion and commented, 'I like her music, but what a horrible role model for young girls. Think back on Motown… all amazing musicians who never had to turn all porno-stripper style to sell music.' Meanwhile, some fans thought that the performance was cringey and remarked, 'This attention seeking sloot is super cringe.' 'On the one hand, this is trashy and seems a bit desperate. On the other...d***,' one wrote. A different fan expressed the same and noted, 'JLo's performance looked more like a cry for attention than a celebration of talent.' 'I'm sorry, but this is not entertaining,' a commenter added. Earlier this month, the Atlas star made headlines after she took a swipe at her ex-husband, Ben Affleck, while performing during her European Up All Night Tour in Pontevedra, Spain. Before she sang her latest breakup song, 'Wreckage of You,' she spoke about how the song was created during a sleepless night. "This is a song that is a new song that I want to sing for the first time tonight that came to me when I was up all night one night," she said, as captured by a post on Lopez, 55, Performs Steamy Dance That Shocks Fans first appeared on Parade on Jul 21, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 21, 2025, where it first appeared.

12 Ways ‘Alien: Earth' Is Respectfully Reimagining the Franchise
Alien: Earth creator Noah Hawley knows the tables are stacked against him. He knows the Alien franchise is a tough one to crack and that the idea of bringing it to televsion might elicit groans from certain fans. But Hawley is also really good at his job. He somehow turned Fargo into a TV show worthy of the incredible film. He made Legion one of the best comic book shows in recent memory. And he knows he'll never be able to remake or recapture the terror you felt watching the Ridley Scott original, or the exhilaration created by James Cameron's sequel. Instead, he's figured out a way to draw inspiration from those things, but also make it his own. The hope is that it'll create something that's 100% recognizable as Alien, but will also stand on its own as a way to totally flip the franchise on its head. Starting August 12, Alien: Earth tells a story set three years before the events of the first movie. However, while that was in space, this takes place—you guessed it—on Earth. There, a spaceship that was tasked with acquiring deadly aliens from across the galaxy is finally on its way home, when something goes wrong and it crashes. To explore the crash, a team of hybrids—synthetic beings with the consciousness of children—are sent in to explore. What they'll find is not just the iconic xenomorph, but several other species as well. A few weeks back, io9 was among a group of journalists who were able to watch the pilot episode of Alien: Earth (which was awesome) and speak with Hawley, as well as producer David Zucker, about all things Alien: Earth. Here are the highlights. Alien: Earth couldn't exist without the xenomorph, but Hawley knew he had to add new creatures to hopefully capture what makes Alien so special. 'One of the things you can never reproduce in an audience that has seen an Alien movie is the feeling you had the first time you saw the life cycle of this creature in that first film,' Hawley said. 'It's just unreproducible. You know that it's an egg, it's a face hugger, it's a chestburster, and all that. And so that's where the idea for other creatures came from. I want you to have that feeling because that feeling is integral to the Alien experience. But I can't do it with those creatures. So let's introduce new creatures where you don't know how they reproduce or what they eat. So that you can have that, 'I'm out' feeling multiple times a week.' Another intergral part of the Alien franchise is that, yes, the aliens are brutal killers. But the humans who are trying to capture them are often worse. That's why Alien: Earth will feature an equally important story centered on a technological race, personified by those hybrid characters. 'One of the interesting features of the movies, especially Jim Cameron's movie where he has that line from Sigourney [Weaver] to Paul Reiser where she says, 'I don't know which species is worse. At least they don't fuck each other over for a percentage.' Right? And so this idea about humanity and the terrible things that we do to each other, it really opened my mind as to the types of horror that would populate the show, not just body horror or creature horror, but also the moral horror of what people do. And the question is, if you take a girl and you put her into this synthetic body, is she going to choose human or other? And so it becomes about the push-pull between 'Well, why be human if this is what humans do to each other?' But there's such a beauty to the human experience, etc. So that's the tension, I feel like, that elevates it above just who lives and who dies.' Hawley's story is set in the world of Alien, with names and companies you'll recognize, but that wasn't the most important thing to him. 'I've said before but, if I have a skill at reinventing classic movies, it's understanding what the original made me feel and why, and then recreating those feelings in you by telling you a new story,' he said. That new story had to fit visually in the world of Alien. 'I was very adamant that technology-wise we embrace the retrofuturism of the franchise,' Hawley said. 'That is the visual definition for me. There are three classic sci-fi brands. There's Star Wars, Star Trek, and Alien. And none of them look like the other one. You would never confuse one for the other. And so if we want to make Alien, something's got to be dripping. Something's got to be rusty. You have to have those sorts of aesthetics to it. And then the challenge was, well, we're not even focused on the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, and we're on Earth. And so how, from an aesthetic standpoint, do you make sure that it feels like Alien to the audience when, obviously, if we're not on a ship, it's just not going to look like that. So that was a long, long process.' Yes, there are other creatures. No, it won't be focused on the life cycle of the xenomorph. But the xenos are in there, crucial to the show, and in a way you've never seen them before. 'We never really see these creatures within an ecosystem, right?' Hawley said. 'They're always sort of an apex predator existing in a space with no other wildlife, really. And I was interested in that idea of, if you're going to bring these creatures to a terrestrial environment, how are they going to change it? And how are other creatures, bugs, any of it, going to interact with them? So some of that we address, some of that is still percolating for future stories.' 'I think just the idea of seeing these creatures in a landscape, an Earth landscape, is such a profoundly unsettling and kind of exhilarating thing when we get to that moment,' he added. 'It really felt like such a gift after, at that time, six movies, to be doing something new, right? To have that opportunity.' Hawley knows that it will be hard, if not impossible, to top the H.R. Giger design of the original Alien. But he also knows he has to make sure these new creatures can stand up against them. So lots of care has, and continues to be, taken in their designs. 'I will be adjusting the design until they tell me I absolutely can't do it anymore,' he said. 'Every element of it, from the skin texture to sound design, it all goes to the 'Get into your nightmares' part of it. And mostly my hope is that people who watch the show will never do anything comfortably again.' So, yes, this is a new story with new threads and perspectives, but it fits in with the original movies in some fun ways. That's especially driven by the fact this show isn't on a spaceship or an alien planet. It's on Earth, which is something the original films have almost wholly avoided. 'It's the first time we're coming to Earth,' Hawley said. 'I mean, there's a little on Earth in Prometheus, but with no sort of expansion on who rules the Earth, what are the politics, how does that work throughout the galaxy, etc. And so it was a gift to get a franchise this big with very little mythology to it.' 'So that I could say, 'All right, well, what do we know about the next hundred years?' Hawley continued. 'It's going to get hotter. It's going to get wetter. I'm not betting against capitalism so I think the corporations, that power is going to aggregate. And all we really know about Aliens is that there's this corporation called Weyland-Yutani. And for me, I just think that story, that Weyland-Yutani story, is really interesting, but I like the idea also of introducing that there's still a competition. And I also thought, in terms of the moment on Earth. I thought about the moment at the turn of the 20th century where you had Edison and Tesla and Westinghouse, and you weren't sure who was going to control electricity. So I thought if we had that kind of moment in which it's a contest between the sort of cybernetic enhancements and AI and transhumanism—and, like any technology race, you know, you don't remember who the competitor to Xerox was, right? And so that was exciting to me to explore that.' In addition to the opportunity of exploring what's happening on Earth, Hawley loved that the movies gave him a lot of open space to add to the story. 'If you remember the movie, they just get sent to this planet,' he said. 'I mean, clearly somebody knows about these creatures, right? They knew enough to send them there, but their knowledge of these creatures [is a mystery]. Now, of course, [the crew of the Nostromo] has been in cryosleep for, I don't know how many decades or years or whatever. So that's the interesting thing about the lack of mythology is these people who find those first eggs have been out of contact with Earth for who knows how long. And so there is a gray area that we could play in and try to create something with as big a scale as possible to justify the title while still making it credible for the rest of the canon.' 'I've had some conversations with [the filmmakers],' Hawley admitted. '[But], you know, this is not a Kevin Feige Marvel Universe moment. I'm not saying that that in success that that we shouldn't be coordinating or thinking big picture about that. The show [just] has to be a hit before you can really have those conversations.' Hawley doesn't know how far the show will go along but, he has thought about potential links between the show and films. 'I haven't literally calendared it out,' he said, 'But we know that Ripley ends up in an escape pod and is found 57 years later. So we really have no idea what they know on Earth about what happened on the Nostromo. And so is my challenge really figuring what happens in those three years or in the 60 years before she comes back? So those are all active questions that were that we're discussing.' 'Well, it's not up to me,' Hawley said. But, in his mind it's a recurring series that could go on for more seasons. 'We created it as a recurring series, and I have great plans and ambitions for it as such.' For this one, we'll turn it over to David Zucker, the chief creative officer for Scott Free, Ridley Scott's production company. 'In all candor, we were approached many times [about making Alien shows] and there was no interest on our behalf,' Zucker said. 'And frankly, I don't think one could even conceive of delivering something of this kind of equivalency of what one can do [as] feature TV in this sort of modern era. But I think the thing that that also didn't exist before John [Landgraf, chairman of FX] and Noah had this conversation is somebody who could have this kind of vision, this kind of originality. Ridley was really, I think, enthralled by being able to relaunch the franchise. And he's excited about the extension of it, but it really required somebody who could take the essence, as Noah's talked about, and find a way to take viewers in an entirely different experience. And that that was just something we had never encountered before and couldn't have have imagined that that opportunity would exist. So the planets align, as they say.' The planets will further align on August 12 when Alien: Earth debuts on FX. Check back for more soon. Want more io9 news?
