Emilia Mernes and Adriana Barrientos headline entertainment news

In Argentina, members of the musical group Bandana have expressed public dissatisfaction with singer Emilia Mernes. During a streaming session of Popstars, members Lowrdez Fernández and Lissa Vera criticized Mernes for recording a solo version of the group's classic song, ‘Maldita Noche’, without their involvement. While member Virginia da Cunha attempted to mediate by noting Mernes had previously paid tribute to the group, other members expressed frustration over the lack of communication regarding the recording.

Mernes responded to the controversy on social media, questioning the way video clips of the exchange were being edited and shared online.

In Chile, television personality Adriana Barrientos has returned to the screen following her departure from the program ‘Zona de Estrellas’. Despite previous rumors regarding her status at Zona Latina following a heated on-air dispute with Javier Fernández, Barrientos has joined the team of the entertainment show ‘Encantadas’. She stated her intention to pursue a new professional direction, moving away from previous controversies toward personal growth.
