During the launch cocktail party for her daughter Sasha's store, held at a shopping mall in São Paulo, Xuxa Meneghel attracted attention and was enthusiastically received by the public . The attentive presenter interacted with fans, signed autographs and took photos. During the meeting, she revealed the progress of a hair transplant performed about two months ago to treat androgenetic alopecia, a genetic condition that causes hair loss.
Known as the Queen of the Little Ones, Xuxa explained that the procedure consisted of removing hair from the back of her head, which was implanted in the front and receding hairlines. When approached by a fan who wanted to touch the new hair, the artist responded with good humor: “ It’s growing. It’s growing .” According to her, the implanted hair has already fallen out and the new hair is in the process of growing naturally.
In an interview previously given to the newspaper EXTRA, the presenter said that she decided to have the implant also with the aim of encouraging other women to seek alternatives to deal with alopecia. “I am in this process, including to encourage other women with alopecia. Men usually resort to implants, we don't. I really want mine to work out so that women will also have this desire to do it”, stated Xuxa .
In addition to her aesthetic concerns, the blonde revealed that she is undergoing a visual transformation for her return to the stage with the “ O Último Voo da Nave ” tour. Among the ideas is the use of different wigs in each song performed , as well as the possibility of a new visual style with more voluminous natural hair, with references to futurism.
Excited about her hair growing, the artist said she plans to try new hairstyles once her hair grows in volume. Among the options, she is considering using 5-centimeter buns made with her original hair. “ I will probably not have long hair, but I will have more hair. I love a shaved head, I love it! I thought about shaving it with a four-inch clipper and dyeing it white, to make it look really futuristic,” said Xuxa, who intends to continue inspiring other women.

Samba lost one of its greatest references this Friday (8): Arlindo Cruz passed away at the age of 66 in Rio de Janeiro. Recognized for his vast work with 795 registered compositions, the samba singer marked generations with hits such as “Saudade Louca” and “Boto Meu Povo na Rua” . Born in Madureira, the birthplace of Rio samba, Arlindo was also a passionate Flamengo fan.
His retirement from the stage occurred after suffering a stroke in 2017, which impacted his career and health. Family members confirmed his death, without disclosing the official cause, but emphasized the artist's cultural legacy and his love for soccer, especially for the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved). The wake will be open to the Rio de Janeiro community.
The son of Arlindão, who had meetings with samba artists like Candeia at home, Arlindo Cruz immersed himself in the musical world from an early age. At 17, he began his professional career as a cavaquinho player on Candeia's 1975 album "Roda de Samba." Over time, he became known for his mastery of the banjo, an instrument he helped popularize in samba and which became his trademark.
A central figure in the founding of the Cacique de Ramos samba circle, the musician rubbed shoulders with greats such as Zeca Pagodinho and Jorge Aragão. With Fundo de Quintal, a legendary samba group, he recorded 10 albums that helped cement the genre . From the 1990s onward, he developed a solo career with successful albums such as "Arlindinho" (1993) and important collaborations with producer Sombrinha.
Madureira, a neighborhood that forged its cultural and musical identity, was the setting for compositions that celebrated everyday life, street smarts, and the richness of Rio's samba. A strong connection to Flamengo was present in his daily life: Arlindo frequented the Maracanã stadium, participated in club events, and received tributes on special occasions , cementing his status as a Flamengo icon.

Singer Milton Nascimento and record label Sony Music filed a lawsuit against Cruzeiro Esporte Clube, alleging the improper use of the song "Clube da Esquina nº 2". The work, written by Milton, Lô Borges and Márcio Borges , was allegedly used without authorization in a video posted on the club's social media in January 2025, during the announcement of Gabigol's signing from Flamengo.
According to information published by the newspaper O Globo, the video was produced and released by Cruzeiro without the proper authorization of the artists involved in the song's creation . Sony Music , which represents the copyright of the work, is seeking compensation for material damages, while Milton Nascimento and the Borges brothers are seeking compensation for moral damages.
The court order stipulates a sum of R$50,000 for each of the songwriters involved . Despite the good relationship between the artist and the Minas Gerais club in the recent past, the lawsuit remains ongoing due to the dispute between the parties.
In 2022, after announcing his retirement from the stage at the age of 80, Milton Nascimento was honored by Cruzeiro at a concert held at the Mineirão stadium in Belo Horizonte. On the occasion, the singer received a personalized jersey from the team and a letter describing him as " Cruzeiro's international ambassador ."
The lawsuit highlights the importance of respecting copyright when using musical works, especially in advertising materials and highly visible social media content . Despite the history of tributes, the composers claim that the lack of formal consent for the use of the song violates their rights and compromises the recognition of the intellectual property involved.
