Charmed star Rose McGowwn gives huge life update five years after she quit Hollywood
The 51-year-old star played Paige Matthews on the hit series 'Charmed' but moved to Mexico in 2020 after realising that she could do what her character did in terms of activism in her real life and wanted to "listen" to others. '
Speaking as part of a panel at 90s Con in Connecticut, she said: "My father lived in Mexico for 35 years and mi gusta Mexico. Te quiero much, mi amores. It is an incredible country. It is so wildly geographically diverse, culturally diverse and just very, very special. There's so much joy.
"My favourite word in Spanish is alegria, which means joy, and there's so much of that there and color and and passion and and fun and different ... just different. And you know I had to talk for a lot of years, kind of more than normal people might.
"At one point, you know, as Paige was a social worker and I was raised in a commune growing up in Italy to be kind of a volunteer, and I kind of thought, 'Well, I can also do this in real life. Away from this.'
"There's a point where I just got really talked out. I just wanted to listen. I wanted silence, and I wanted to listen more than I wanted to talk."
The 'Scream' actress does find it a "challenge" to be living somewhere where she isn't fluent in the language but has always been of an "adventurous" nature and recently embraced the idea of going to the "most remote location" she could find.
She said: "There's things about it that are difficult, just like anywhere, and it's certainly a challenge sometimes, doing things when, at first, you don't really know the language. You're navigating a totally different system. You learn very quickly, though.
"I like adventure. I've kind of always been the adventurous sort. I always kind of lived in dense areas, so at one point I went to like the most remote location in this area in Mexico that I'm at. It was just me and my dog and a metal pipe for a shower.
"That was it, and I was grateful, right? And the gratitude that you feel for smaller things, because you have to fight for them and you appreciate them!"

Cristiano Ronaldo reveals engagement to girlfriend of eight years Georgina Rodriguez - see her gigantic ring
Cristiano Ronaldo put a ring on it. The Portuguese soccer star, 40, and his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, are engaged after eight years of being together, the model shared on Instagram Monday. 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives,' Rodriguez, 31, wrote in Spanish, including a snapshot of her oval-shaped diamond engagement ring. The couple first stepped out together at Best FIFA Football Awards in Zurich in January 2017, and later made things Instagram official in May of that year. Ronaldo and Rodriguez share five children: 8-year-old twins Eva Maria and Mateo, daughters Alana, 7, and Bella, 3, and his 15-year-old son Cristiano Jr., from a previous relationship. They announced the death of Bella's newborn twin brother, Ángel, in April 2022. Although Rodriguez has been spotted with a ring on her ring finger, this is the first time she shared engagement news. The couple discussed taking the next step in their relationship in the Netflix docuseries, 'I Am Georgina' — an emotional in-depth portrait of the influencer's daily life. 'They're always joking about the wedding, 'When is the wedding?'' Rodriguez said of her friends in the March 2025 episode. 'Since Jennifer Lopez's song 'The Ring Or When' came out, they started singing it to me. And well, this is not up to me.'' 'I always tell her, when we get that click,' Ronaldo said, snapping his fingers. 'Like everything with our life, and I know she knows what I'm talking about. It could be in a year, or it could be in six months or it could be in a month. I'm 1,000 percent sure that it'll happen.' The couple's engagement comes more than three years after a federal civil case accusing Ronaldo of raping a 25-year-old woman in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009 was dismissed. Kathryn Mayorga, a former school teacher, claimed Ronaldo, who was 24 at the time, raped her at the Palms Place in 2009. The allegations were first reported in 2017 by German magazine Der Spiegel. US District Judge Jennifer Dorsey dismissed the case with prejudice, due to misconduct by Mayorga's attorney, Leslie Mark Stovall, who used 'purloined' confidential documents. Stovall was ordered to pay a proportion of Ronaldo's legal costs. Originally published as Cristiano Ronaldo reveals engagement to girlfriend of eight years Georgina Rodriguez - see her gigantic ring

Maluma stops show to reprimand fan with baby
Maluma stopped his concert to reprimand a fan who had brought along a baby. The 31-year-old singer was performing in Mexico City over the weekend when he noticed an infant in the audience without ear protection, prompting him to accuse the tot's mom of treating her child "like they're a toy" and insisting he would never take his daughter Paris, 17 months, to a concert at such a young age. In a video shared on X and translated from Spanish by Variety, the Colombian performer said: 'With all due respect… how old are they? A year old? Less? A year. "Do you think it's a good idea to bring a one-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are this f****** high?" "Where is the sound this loud? That baby doesn't even know what it's doing here. "Next time, protect their ears or something. For real. It's heavy. It's your responsibility. "You're waving them around like they're a toy. That baby doesn't want to be there, for real. I'm telling you with all love and respect, now that I'm a father… would never bring them to a concert. "For the next time, be a bit more aware." The Sobrio singer - whose real name is Juan Luis Londoño Arias - previously spoke of how much he loves the way his life has changed sine girlfriend Susana Gomez gave birth to their daughter. He told Allure last year: "Everything changed. And I love it. "Now, I wake up every day with the desire to conquer the world. I know I have to f****** kill it." And Maluma has vowed to set the best example possible to his little girl. He said: "For Paris, nothing is impossible. You have to lead by example. "I go to bed every night that I can at 9 and wake up at 5:30 to hit the gym because I want to be healthy. You want to live forever for your kids. I want to make her proud." The 'Hawái ' hitmaker also noted that while the "essence" of his image of a bad boy on stage still remains, he is "more mature" since becoming a dad and is managing to find the balance between his public persona and family life, even though it can be "difficult" at times. He said: "It's still the same essence, but more mature I would say, and more chill. I'm just vibing. I'm having fun being with my family, but I'm also having fun being onstage. I'm doing things that I love, and finally, I feel like I'm on the right path. It's difficult to find that balance, but I'm there. I'm there and working for it."

Colombian singer Maluma stops show to scold mother for bringing one-year-old baby to his concert in Mexico
Colombian singer and rapper Maluma interrupted his concert in Mexico City on Friday to address a fan who brought a one-year-old baby to the event without ear protection. The father-of-one paused his performance and started speaking in Spanish to a woman — presumed to be the baby's mother — in the crowd as the stadium fell quiet. The 31-year-old artist expressed concern for the child's safety, citing the risks posed by high decibel levels at concerts. 'Ma'am, I'm going to tell you something. Don't bring him here, leave him there,' he said from the stage. 'With all due respect, I am already a father. 'What's he? A one-year-old? Do you think it's a good idea to bring a one-year-old baby to a concert where the decibels are this f*cking high? Where the sound is this loud? Loading TikTok Post 'That baby doesn't even know what it's doing here. Next time, protect their ears or something. 'It's your responsibility. You're waving them around like they're a toy. 'That baby doesn't want to be there, for real. I'm telling you with all love and respect.' After the footage was shared on TikTok, many weighed in on whether he had taken the right approach confronting the mother in front of thousands of fans. 'So did he help her out and get the baby some damn headphones?!?' one person commented on the video. 'Good for him. That's some bad parenting,' another said. 'Totally inappropriate to have a baby without protection but totally inappropriate to single her out like that too. I hate preachy performers,' a social media user commented. The singer, who shares one-year-old daughter Paris with his partner, Susana Gómez, added he would never bring his child to a live show under such conditions. Speaking to Allure magazine in July last year, Maluma — who also starred in singer and actress Jennifer Lopez's romantic comedy Marry Me — revealed how life had changed after welcoming his first child. 'Now, I wake up every day with the desire to conquer the world. 'I know I have to f*cking kill it. For Paris, nothing is impossible. 'You have to lead by example. I go to bed every night that I can at nine and wake up at 5:30 to hit the gym because I want to be healthy. 'You want to live forever for your kids. I want to make her proud.'
