Just four months before the second anniversary of Paquita la del Barrio's death, tragedy has struck her family once again. On Wednesday, it was confirmed that Martha Elena Martínez Viveros passed away at the age of 47, the singer's adopted daughter. The news has caused a deep stir in the entertainment world and among the beloved artist's fans.
The confirmation of her passing came through Paquita la del Barrio's official account. "Today, mother and daughter are reunited in heaven," reads a memorial note full of memories and respect. "There are goodbyes that hurt deeply and words that will never be enough to express the emptiness left by the loss of a loved one. With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Martha Elena Martínez Viveros, daughter of our dear Paquita la del Barrio," it continues.

According to local reports, Paquito, the singer's former manager, shared details of what happened: "She was fine, and from one moment to the next she was gone, at such a young age," he said, explaining that it was due to cardiac arrest, something shocking, as he was not aware of any health issues. In recent days, Martha had traveled to Peru with her granddaughters, where she enjoyed a wonderful family trip. Martha Elena was found dead in Veracruz, where the local government of Alto Lucero posted a tribute in her honor, offering condolences to the Martínez Viveros family and recognizing the profound mark that the singer and her daughter left on the community.

Martha Stewart has spent more than five decades building a business empire, and the lifestyle mogul is now revealing the financial advice she has carried with her throughout her career.
At 85, the businesswoman has built a sprawling brand spanning media and merchandising, but she says much of what she knows about business came from experience rather than formal education.
The advice comes from a career that has included enormous deals, a public company, major setbacks, and a remarkable return to the business world as she continued finding ways to turn her ideas into valuable business opportunities.

Martha Stewart may not have a private jet, but she's done very well for herself over the years.
The lifestyle guru, 85, appeared on the Tuesday, October 6 episode of David Rogier's Other People's Business podcast, where the MasterClass founder and CEO asked whether fellow businesswoman Kim Kardashian has ever come to her for advice.
"We've talked, but she doesn't need my advice," Stewart responded. "That group is really, really good, and I really admire it. You know she's flying around in a G5. I don't have a G5."
"Why don't you think that you have a private jet?" Rogier questioned, to which the TV personality explained, "Because I fell in a hole and I lost about a billion dollars in my legal problems. The lawyers took me to the cleaners, and they were horrible."

Long before the likes of Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner or Zendaya and Tom Holland were turning heads on the red carpet, there was Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen in the '90s.
The pair first met in 1983, but it would be 10 more years before they'd cross paths again and start dating. The lovebirds went on to get married in 1995, tying the knot on Martha's Vineyard on Oct. 7.
And while they always kept a low profile — a practice they continue today — when they stepped out for awards shows, galas and other high-profile events, Danson and Steenburgen made sure they did so in style.
As they celebrate their 31st wedding anniversary, see some of their most glamorous photos from the '90s below.

Opening a Bible that once belonged to Thomas Jefferson, staff at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in 2011 discovered a reddish-blond hair pressed between the pages. That hair, suspected to have belonged to Jefferson himself, launched a DNA investigation spanning more than a decade that’s now providing a long-missing puzzle piece regarding Jefferson’s relationship with Sally Hemings, an enslaved woman in his household.
After spending years reconstructing DNA fragments, scientists have revealed the most compelling evidence to date that Jefferson, a founding father of the United States, also fathered children with Hemings — a relationship that has been long rumored but never definitively proven. How that investigation unfolded is documented in the book “History by a Hair: Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemings & Solving a 200-Year-Old Mystery,” written by Richard Kurin, a distinguished scholar and ambassador-at-large at the Smithsonian, and published on September 22.
Kurin is also senior author of a paper describing the methods that connected the former US president to Hemings’ descendants, which involved delving deep into the genetics of the Jefferson and Hemings family trees. The paper, published September 21 on the preprint platform bioRXiv, has not yet been peer-reviewed.
In addition to testing the hair found in the Bible, the researchers also collected genetic material from multiple confirmed samples of Jefferson’s hair, held in the collection of the Smithsonian. They compared that with DNA from descendants of multiple lineages: Jefferson and his wife Martha, Jefferson’s brother Randolph, and two of Hemings’ sons, Eston and Madison. (Hemings had four children who lived to adulthood, but only Eston and Madison claimed Jefferson as their father).
Matches in the DNA suggest the chance that Thomas Jefferson fathered at least one of Sally Hemings’ children was 99.96%.

There's no more recognisable moustache in Hollywood than the one gracing Tom Selleck's upper lip, but try – as impossible as it seems – to imagine the star before his unbuttoned Hawaiian shirts and star detective skills. There were two people there from the very start, watching him grow into the ultimate Hollywood A-lister. But who raised the icon we know and love today? Read on to meet Tom's parents, and find out what role his father took that went a step above Dad...
Robert D. Selleck was a successful real estate developer
Born in December 1921 in Lapeer, Michigan, Robert 'Bob' D. Selleck made a living as a San Fernando Valley real estate developer. He also participated on several planning committees including the Southern California Committee for the 1984 Olympic Games.
He shared the screen with his famous son on two occasions, guest starring on Hawaii-based detective classic Magnum, P.I. in 1985 during the series' sixth season as Grandpa Everett, and again with an uncredited appearance in 1987.

The monarchy of Norway dates back to 872 and is currently helmed by the House of Glücksburg, which also fronts the Danish royal family, and the royal house has produced monarchs for the country since the time of King Haakon VII in 1905.
The family is currently in mourning after King Harald V passed away on 28 August 2026. In a statement, the Norwegian royal household said: "It is with deep sorrow that we announce that His Majesty King Harald passed away today. King Harald passed away peacefully at Rikshospitalet on Friday, August 28, at 06:35. He leaves behind his wife, Queen Sonja, 89, and children, Crown Prince Haakon, 53 and Princess Martha Louise, 54."
Read on to find out all you need to know about Norway's royal family below…
Born on 21 February 1937, King Harald was the youngest child of King Olav V and Princess Martha. His two sisters, Princess Ragnhild and Princess Astrid, were excluded from being in line to the throne at the time due to agnatic primogeniture rules. Following the outbreak of World War II, Harald was evacuated from Norway alongside his mother and sisters, with the family settling in both Sweden and the United States. Following the war, Harald returned to his homeland and he became the first Norwegian royal to attend a state school. At the age of 17, Harald was dealt some personal heartbreak when his mother died at the age of 53.

As the Norwegian royal family begins to consider funeral arrangements for King Harald, his widow Queen Sonja will be marking a very poignant milestone this weekend.
The royals would have marked their 58th wedding anniversary on 29 August, one day after it was announced that Harald had died aged 89. A statement from the Norwegian Palace read: "It is with deep sorrow that we announce that His Majesty King Harald passed away today. King Harald passed away peacefully at Rikshospitalet on Friday, August 28, at 06:35."
Sonja will likely be supported privately through the difficult time by their children, King Haakon VIII and Princess Martha Louise.

While their love story was enduring, it also overcame several obstacles. The Norwegian royal couple kept their relationship a secret for nine years after meeting at a party in 1959, as Harald's father forbade him from marrying a commoner.

As King Haakon of Norway ascends the throne after the death of his father, the former naval officer must steer a royal family in crisis towards calmer shores.
The King, 53, has endured a string of royal scandals in recent years linked to his stepson, Marius Borg Høiby; his wife Mette-Marit, now the Queen; and his sister, Martha-Louise.
Opinion polls suggest there is a crisis of confidence in the royal family. A survey found that one in three Norwegians wanted the monarchy to be abolished upon the death of King Harald.
The most damaging revelations have centred on Borg Høiby, 29, the new King's stepson, who was convicted of rape and ***** ault in June and sentenced to four years in prison.

Michelle Obama's recent headturning looks on Martha's Vineyard remind us that she's always known how it's done.
If Michelle Obama is going to do one thing, it's absolutely have that ish on. The former first lady popped out during multiple book events on Martha's Vineyard this week, wearing not one but two different stunning looks that have set the internet ablaze.
The first look she shared in an Instagram post was a vibrant coral pink strapless dress with white heels, followed by a green-and-white striped Carolina Herrera halter dress with brown criss-cross heels. Her braids were pulled up into a high ponytail, cascading down her back.
There's just one problem, she admitted, she may have been a bit overdressed for Martha's Vineyard.
"This is dressed up [and] we don't do this here. I don't even wear shoes," she quipped during the event, the Vineyard Gazette reported.

Former first lady Michelle Obama is making a case for summer stripes with her latest Martha's Vineyard look.
Obama stepped out in a green-and-white striped Carolina Herrera halter dress during an appearance at the Martha's Vineyard Author Series, where she joined Michele Norris, MSNBC senior contributing editor and The Race Card Project founder, for a conversation about her book, "The Look."
The former first lady shared photos from the appearance on Instagram on Aug. 26, offering a closer look at the summery ensemble.
The sleeveless dress, designed by Carolina Herrera creative director Wes Gordon as part of the fashion house's pre-fall 2026 collection, featured a plunging halter neckline, fitted ruched bodice and full midi-length skirt. Vertical stripes ran down much of the dress before shifting direction along the hem.
Obama opted to wear the dress without the contrasting belt featured in the collection's original styling. She completed the look with strappy Jimmy Choo sandals, earrings and rings. The former first lady wore her braids pulled into a high ponytail, with several pieces framing her face.

Michelle Obama's Martha's Vineyard outfit at the Martha's Vineyard Author Series was a little more dressed up than her usual Island style—and she was the first to admit it.
The former First Lady stepped out in a crisp blue-and-white striped sundress and heeled sandals Sunday as she drew packed crowds to the Martha's Vineyard Performing Arts Center for two conversations about her new book, The Look.
The special event, which capped off a summer-long author series, featured Obama talking about everything from fashion and her days in the White House to how she really prefers to dress on the Island.
"This is dressed up [and] we don't do this here. I don't even wear shoes," she said, via The Vineyard Gazette. "This place is magic to our family. I mean, it really is. It's one of the few places where we can go and just be, and that's thanks to everybody here who loves us but gives us ****** e — maybe excited, but not too crazy."
But the casual look didn't fly when she was in the White House. Obama recounted the intense scrutiny she faced over her fashion choices and appearance, often feeling that the media focused more on what she was wearing than what she was saying.

Martha Stewart was accused of playing dirty in her simmering feud with Meghan Markle over lifestyle branding. The domestic lifestyle mogul recently questioned the ****** ss of Sussex's move from actress to royal to homemaking host. One insider claimed Stewart attacks when she feels "threatened." The report framed the clash around As Ever, "With Love, Meghan," and Stewart's long-held place as America's best-known lifestyle queen.
As per a RadarOnline report, Martha Stewart discussed Meghan Markle's royal visit. Stewart said they were both at a dinner party in California. She added that Meghan had "just gotten back from the palace." Stewart said she only exchanged "a couple words" with the ****** ss. However, she claimed, "I know she was talking about it."
Meanwhile, Stewart also questioned Meghan's lifestyle career pivot. The "Martha Stewart Living" founder said it was difficult to move from acting to royalty. She then added it was harder to become "a homemaking guru on a television show." The report connected the comment to Meghan's Netflix series "With Love, Meghan." It also framed the criticism around her wider lifestyle push.
However, an insider claimed Stewart's remarks were calculated. The source said, "No one thinks it's an accident." They added that Stewart made Meghan Markle look bad while getting "a load of attention." According to the source, Martha Stewart disliked "other people coming into the lifestyle ****** e." The insider added, "When she feels at all threatened, she goes on the attack."
Still, the same source said Meghan did not plan a public war. The insider claimed the former "Suits" actress was "fuming" over the comments. Instead, she reportedly wanted to hit Stewart through market competition. The source said Meghan planned to take "some of her market share." They added that Stewart's "nasty comments" proved she was "running scared." For Martha Stewart and Meghan Markle, the report framed the feud as a fight over lifestyle authority, not just one interview jab.

Just when you thought Starbucks couldn't make its cult-fave Pumpkin Spice Latte any more enticing, the chain went and put its signature bevvy in the hands of Off Campus star Belmont Cameli.
To celebrate the August 25 return of the PSL, Starbucks dropped a promo commercial starring the widely beloved actor alongside another icon, Martha Stewart.
"It smells like my house in the fall," Martha gushes as she clutches her PSL, topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice. "It's perfect." That's when Belmont appears on the screen with his own iced version. He shoots Martha a flirty glance and declares, "You would get it hot."
Her response? So Martha: "Should I know him?"
Naturally, fans are losing it over the on-screen exchange—and, well, Belmont Cameli in general. "DOES HE COUNT AS A TOPPING?" one fan wrote. "I feel like a dog hearing all my favorite words," another chimed in.

Alan Dershowitz said he is still a pariah on his beloved Martha's Vineyard, and fellow island vacationer Larry David still won't speak to him.
For several years now, Dershowitz has lamented his fallen status on the island, starting around the time he acted as defense counsel in President Donald Trump's first impeachment trial. Dershowitz, a staunch Democrat for 67 years, registered as a Republican this year.
On Tuesday, The Atlantic published an interview with Dershowitz by Mark Leibovich, who spoke with the famous lawyer and professor emeritus at Harvard Law. The piece is ****** led, "Alan Dershowitz Won't Forget What Larry David Did To Him."
Until 2021, Dershowitz and the Seinfeld co-creator and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator were friends, or at least friendly with one another. But that year, there was an ugly encounter at the Chilmark General Store, which Leibovich recounted thus:
And then there was the infamous clash at the Chilmark General Store with Dershowitz's now very-much-ex-friend Larry David. In the annals of Dershowitz's social spiral on the Vineyard, this conflagration has taken on almost-mythic dimensions, like his own personal Stalingrad. Dershowitz was sitting on the porch of the store with another friend, "who happened to be a very kind of radical woke lefty from New York, but very tolerant," he told me. David was not very tolerant, at least of Dershowitz. He walked onto the porch, refused to shake Dershowitz's hand, called him "disgusting," and stormed off. Dershowitz said at the time that David was so irate, Dershowitz worried that the comedian might suffer a stroke.
