After A Designer Refused To Work With Her Due To Her "Silence" On Palestine, Rosalía Responded
Spanish pop music superstar Rosalía responded after a designer said he'd refused to work with her over her lack of statement on Palestine. Last week, designer Miguel Adrover posted a screenshot seemingly between himself and a member of Rosalía's team, who was asking for a "custom look" for the artist. In the caption, he wrote, "Doing 'The Right Thing'….Silence is complicity, and even more so when you have a big loudspeaker where millions of people listen to you when you sing. That's why you have the responsibility to use this power to denounce this genocide. Rosalia, this is nothing personal. I admire you for all your talent and for everything you've achieved. And I think you are much more than those artists who only dedicate themselves to show business and entertainment. Now we have to do 'The Right Thing.'" Related: Yesterday, Rosalía herself responded via a series of Instagram stories, which can be translated to, "In today's world, we all live in constant contradiction — myself included. And although I personally always try to do 'the right thing,' I probably don't always succeed, but in the process I try to learn and improve." "Unfortunately, this text is not and will not be enough in a context of extreme violence like the one currently happening. That's why I want to end with deep respect and gratitude for the people who truly take action, like NGOs, activists, volunteers, healthcare workers, laborers, cooperatives, associations, and journalists who are dedicating their lives to helping with this cause and many others," she continued. Related: Emphasizing her "sadness" over what had been said, she continued, "The fact that I haven't used my platform in a way that aligns with others' styles or expectations absolutely does not mean that I don't condemn what is happening in Palestine. It's terrible to see, day after day, how innocent people are being murdered and how those who should be stopping it are not doing so." Related: "I don't see how shaming one another is the best way to move forward in the fight for Palestinian freedom. I believe the blame should be directed upwards (toward those who make decisions and have the power to act), not horizontally (among ourselves)," she concluded. The designer isn't the only one to have drawn a line regarding professional collaborations and comments on Palestine. Children's YouTuber Ms. Rachel recently wrote on Instagram, "To anyone asking to with work with me who hasn't spoken out about Gaza: Thank you for the request. I'm not comfortable working with anyone who hasn't spoken out about Gaza. Much love and God bless, Rachel." Related: After Israel cut off aid in March, mass starvation has taken hold in Gaza, with the UN saying that one in three people are now going without food for days at a time. UN Secretary-General António Guterres said, 'Palestinians in Gaza are enduring a humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions. This is not a warning. It is a reality unfolding before our eyes.'

Rachel Zegler Is Set to Return to 'Evita' After Leaving Mid-Show
Rachel Zegler's gig as the titular character in Jamie Lloyd's revival of Evita at the London Palladium has been all over our social feeds thanks to her stunning performances, but she made headlines for a different reason during her latest show. On July 24, the Cosmopolitan cover girl suddenly exited the stage mid-show as she had fallen ill. According to People, Rachel's departure was announced during intermission, and her understudy, Bella Brown, stepped into the role despite appearing as Perón's Mistress earlier in the night. After a 45-minute intermission, Bella transformed into Evita just in time for the Tony-winning musical's second act. A source in the audience told E! News, 'The interval lasted almost 40 to 45 minutes and then the balcony scene with Bella began. You would have thought the roof was going to cave in from the applause. Even more so when she entered on stage for the first time after the balcony scene.' She opened with the iconic number, 'Don't Cry for Me, Argentina,' marking her second time playing Eva Perón after she made her debut on July 14. In this production, Jamie Lloyd and Andrew Lloyd Webber pulled a page from his Sunset Blvd. book and takes the performance outdoors. At this point in the show, Eva sings to a crowd of Argentinians from the balcony of the Presidential Palace, which is actually the London Palladium's balcony IRL. Since Evita's opening night on July 1, the general public has swarmed the outside of the venue on Argyll Street to catch a glimpse of the stars in action. After Bella carried the rest of the show in Rachel's absence, she received a standing ovation that lasted nearly five minutes, and according to fans on social media, the cast had bowed 10 separate times during the curtain call. She expressed her appreciation for the cast, crew, and crowd with a series of Instagram Stories following the performance. 'Today really showed just how important swings and covers are within this industry,' the actress later wrote in an Instagram Story. 'They are pillars of a show!! A proud day to be at Evita.' In a separate post, she added, 'What a lucky audience getting to see both myself and MY ANGEL REG ZEG!!' While we hope Rachel has a speedy recovery, her rep confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that she is scheduled to return and perform Friday evening.
