Popular Tourist Hotel Devolves Into Pool Brawl in Wild Video
The scene swells from there, with the man dressed in black getting out of the pool and throwing punches back at the man in blue and a group of his friends all dressed in bathing suits. More security guards join the fray, with some trying to hold back the people fighting while others fight back.

As more employees join, the fighting turns to yelling and the camera pans to show a crowded pool full of other people watching. In the background of the fight, near the group of men in bathing suits, an English flag is being flown with the words 'Mansfield Town' and 'Ashs Stag 2025,' hinting that these may have been British tourists celebrating a bachelor party.
A second video posted to the same TikTok page is captioned "what started it all, the bouncer hitting the British lad for having a laugh." In the video, the man originally in the blue bathing suit is seen -- naked -- jumping into the pool in front of a crowd of onlookers. He jumps directly onto the railing as he is chased by the security guard, who continuously tells the man to get out of the pool. The man goes deeper into the pool as he puts his bathing suit back on and his friends surround the security guard.
The original brawl video, which is set to the popular Jet2 Holiday trending sound, garnered 250,000 likes in 48 hours. Though people around the world are laughing at the altercation, residents of Spain have been protesting the massive increase in tourism around the country.

Portland's Buzz: A New, Luxe Thermal Hotel And Must-Try Restaurants
Eem, a very Portland style fusion of different cuisines-here Thai and BBQ located in the city's Alberta Arts District. Justin Katigbak Wild, fanciful murals are everywhere—on the bicycle shop, a parking lot, the patios of bars-mixed in with a totally eclectic mix of bookstores, galleries, cafes for coffee and multinational cuisines and a marijuana shop. Alberta Street, the main thoroughfare of Portland's Alberta Arts District is such a funky/interesting/colorful stretch that you expect to see Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein ambling by. (The stars of the amiable TV satire Portlandia for those who've never watched.) The exterior of CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel. Jeremy Bitterman On the western edge of the street, the corner of 11th and Alberta, a very serious, very modern building opened in March: CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel. The first hospitality project by Solterra, a company specializing in sustainable buildings, it might be an outlier in the neighborhood's style with its sleek, contemporary look but its spirit is definitely in sync. The swimming pool at the tropically heated Conservatory at CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel. CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel Key to the hotel is that sustainability; every aspect of it is of cutting edge, environmentally friendly composition and function, earning it status as LEED Platinum (solar power, rainwater harvesting, energy efficient lighting and much more.) What is more visible to guests, though, are the cossetting setting and the extensive wellness facilities starting with a 32 foot long pool in the Conservatory bordered by a 25 foot wall of rare plants and maintained at 82 degrees. Not surprisingly, it invites socializing while draped poolside on loungers. The lower level Sanctuary with four thermal pools at CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel. CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel A floor below is the dark, atmospheric Sanctuary with its centerpiece the hydrotherapy circuit comprised of four thermal pools of varying temperatures (one enhanced with trace minerals and magnesium) with water emanating from the pristine rivers and streams of the Bull Run Watershed east of Portland, then heated and purified with state of the art technology. Around the pools are a hammam, steam room, ice fountain and treatment rooms for rituals combining European, Mayan and Middle Eastern elements with botanicals and advanced techniques. There's also an outdoor Secret Garden with another pool, cold shower and café as well as a daily roster of fitness and wellness options such as sound healing, breathwork, pilates and infrared, flow, and power yoga. A suite living room with sustainable upholstery at CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel. CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel Upstairs, the 100 black/white/grey rooms in contemporary, minimalist style also mirror the sustainable focus with materials such as recycled cork furniture upholstery (which is smooth and comfortable) and wool, fire-retardant mattresses. There are also features such as kitchens and washer-dryers which encourage long stays and balconies for hanging out and watching the goings on in the neighborhood. Portuguese/Japanese Cuisine At Terra Mae Oregon Black Cod with a red palm coconut seafood broth at Terra Mae. CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel The restaurant, Terra Mae, a fusion of Portuguese and Japanese cuisine, is already a Portland favorite and one unusually open on a Tuesday night; some top restaurants in town are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. The room is buzzing and the menu creative without being crazy: really delicious dishes such as Dumplings with the Portuguese pork sausage Linguiça, leeks, cabbage, peri-peri chili crisp, curry, scallion and black garlic; Mentaiko Udon, the chewy Japanese wheat noodles with spicy pollock roe, garlic, cream, soy cured egg yolk and garlic furikake, a salty Japanese seasoning; Wasabi Salad of King neighborhood pea tendrils, edible blossom, tempura flakes and creamy wasabi dressing and a Fisherman's Stew with Black Cod, miso, tiger prawns and clams in a rich seafood broth. The Lobby Coffee Bar The lobby of CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel. CASCADA Thermal Springs + Hotel The hotel also has a lobby level café Alberta Street Coffee for coffee and croissants or muffins in the morning along with a grab and go case of sandwiches, salads, prepared foods and cheeses; the restaurant Forbidden Fruit is due to open in October for breakfast and brunch. In the meantime, Alberta Street is studded with other options as is Portland, overall, regarded as the top culinary center of the Pacific Northwest. Alberta Street Breakfast Spots Three blocks away, Mèmoire Cà Phê, the Vietnamese brunch café started by three friends as an homage to their parents celebrates the food they shared with them when they were growing up such as Đặc Biệt Waffle, a waffle with fish sauce, bacon, fried egg, arugula, crunchy stuff, scallion, and spicy syrup and pastries such as matcha cinnamon rolls. The Australian Proud Mary Café veers from spins on breakfast classics such as Ricotta Hotcakes (in theirs: lemon chamomile syrup, blueberries &raspberries, yogurt & white chocolate namelaka, poppyseeds, pistachio cookie crumble plus flowers) to sausage rolls and a pulled pork sando with gochujang & fish sauce braised pork, daikon,cilantro, carrot, red cabbage, pickled onion, miso aioli, sesame seed bun, and chili cukes. The Tin Shed Garden Café patio, setting for dogs accompanying their humans for lunch or dinner Laurie Werner For more traditional choices, The Tin Shed Garden Café is popular for breakfast dishes such as Fetch, a bacon, tomato and green onion scramble over potato cakes or cheese grits served with a homemade buttermilk biscuit and sandwiches such as Salmon & Spice: Blackened Alaskan Sockeye with pepperjack, roasted red peppers, arugula, red onion and chipotle aioli on a grilled potato bun. Guests' dogs are encouraged to accompany their humans on the patio; they have their own dish on the menu, Fido Food: free range chicken thighs and sweet potatoes. Italian and Hawaiian Cuisine on Alberta Street Salmon poke, Kalua pig and Mac salad at Kau Kau. Laurie Werner Two popular restaurants also settled on the street after stints as a pop up and food cart. Gumba, a handmade pasta specialist moved in after four years as a food cart five years ago. Oahu raised couple Brandon and Tracee Hirahara opened Kau Kau on the street in February serving family recipes for Hawaiian specialties such as Loco Moco, Kalua Pig, Lomi Salmon and an elevated crunchy, sweet and spicy mac salad. Locals favorite: Cafe Olli A few blocks away but still in the neighborhood, Café Olli, recently anointed one of the 25 best Portland restaurants by the New York Times, is a locals' favorite not just for what they serve but for the overall spirit of the place due to their employee-owned, generous benefit laden democracy. (A 20% health and wellness fee is added to checks in order to pay employees a living wage and offer health care coverage.) Open all day, it's known for house made baguettes, ricotta toast, crisp pizzas, particularly the Pomodoro, and in the evening, pastas such as chitarra with sungold sauce, garlic, basil, chili and Parmigiano. Eem: A Successful Thai/BBQ Fusion Sweet & Sour Fried Chicken at Eem. Justin Katigbak Down the street, Eem, open for lunch and dinner every day, is the result of three major Portland chefs joining forces: Chef Earl Ninsom (Langbaan, Paadee), Matt Vicedomini (Matt's BBQ) and Eric Nelson (Shipwreck) with the result a mix of Thai and BBQ that produces deeply flavored, exciting food. Among the choices: Green Curry with Crispy Pulled Pork, roasted cauliflower, lime leaf, oyster mushroom, coconut cream, green onion and fried shallot and Smoked Pork Krapao with pork belly burnt ends, Thai basil and fried egg. But the dish that regulars order again and again, for good reason, is White Curry with Brisket Burnt-ends with roasted cauliflower, coconut cream and green onion. It is that delicious. A New Wine Spa A soak in local wine at Portland's Wine Spa. The Wine Spa Given its proximity to the Willamette Valley, a day trip to sample the region's famous Pinot Noirs is easy to do. But even easier is to soak in and drink some of that wine while in town. Owner Kelly Lewis opened The Wine Spa last fall after trying out vinotherapy in Eastern Europe and discovering the anti-aging and anti-inflammatory benefits. Making deals with local vineyards which have unsaleable wine due to bottling errors or overproduction allows the use of at least a bottle and half per soak plus an additional glass to enjoy. The result is immediate relaxation (a massage helps too), a perfect end to a day running around town.

Book alleges Gwyneth Paltrow's 'cult' of Goop hid 'difficult,' 'toxic' workplace
Gwyneth Paltrow may be running defense as a temporary spokesperson for Astronomer after its now-former CEO's Coldplay concert drama, but a new biography is more interested in how she runs her own empire. 'Gwyneth' by culture and fashion journalist Amy Odell maps Paltrow from Hollywood nepo baby to household name to controversial wellness figure. The biography is based on interviews with over 220 sources, but Paltrow declined to speak for it. 'Gwyneth' (out now from Simon & Schuster) spans the star's life and includes a behind-the-scenes look at her relationship to Brad Pitt, her marriage and 'conscious uncoupling' to Coldplay's Chris Martin and her journey to Oscar-winning fame. Perhaps the most fascinating peek behind the curtain, however, comes at her career transition to Goop guru. How Gwyneth Paltrow's out-of-touch lifestyle led to Goop If there is one central theme in this deep dive of all things Paltrow, it's the actress' unrelatability extends much farther back than her jade egg shenanigans. When promoting 'Emma' in 1997, Paltrow requested a private plane for herself and 10 friends, a penthouse suite at the Ritz where only her friends would be allowed and Mercedes vehicles to chauffeur her and her friends around, the book says. The plane ride alone cost Miramax $200,000 in today's dollars, Odell writes. And when she filmed 'Shallow Hal' alongside Jack Black, her team requested her lodgings be distant from the rest of the cast and crew. But what kickstarted Paltrow's slide into the luxury wellness sphere was her father's throat cancer. While Bruce Paltrow was in denial about his health, Odell writes, Gwyneth took charge of hers – 'I felt I could heal him by proxy,' Gwyneth wrote in The Guardian. It was around this time that she was promoting 'Shallow Hal' (a poorly aged comedy in and of itself) and began sharing often unfounded comments about her health, like that her liver 'wouldn't drop down' during yoga because of her diet, Odell writes. Around the mid-2000s, she became disillusioned with the film industry and asked her 'Spain… on the Road Again' producer Charlie Pinsky what her next move should be. Her ideas of food and home improvement projects seemed something like 'the next Martha Stewart' to Pinsky, but he insisted she focus on motherhood as her brand, Odell writes. She didn't take his advice. Branding expert Peter Arnell helped her come up with the name and fine-tune the vision for Goop. Biography alleges Goop as a 'sometimes-toxic environment' Behind the scenes of the clean marketing and health promises, employees Odell spoke with described Goop as 'one of the most difficult working environments they had ever encountered.' Odell says the employee said they 'never felt less well in my life than during my time there.' Paltrow had a 'capricious, indirect leadership style' that led to anger and resentment. Her close relationships with some employees 'blurred the lines between professional and personal,' Odell writes – she had her food editor double as a personal chef, making her lunch and even sometimes dinner for her and husband Brad Falchuk. Some employees described the office culture as "noxious and chaotic," Odell writes. She describes writers as overworked and underpaid, expected to be on call at all times, with some employees pulling over on the side of the road while driving to answer work messages. Paltrow offered employees a two-week 'Goopcation' but still expected employees to respond to her messages during that time. Gwyneth Paltrow ruffled feathers at Condé Nast over Goop fact-checking As Goop's influence ballooned, it treaded further and further into debunked wellness fads like vaginal steaming, bone broth diets and vaginal jade eggs (for which Goop was fined $145,000 in 2018 for unsubstantiated medical claims). Paltrow has seen herself as a crusader for little-known women's health topics, though medical experts abhor her 'vigilante health journalism,' Odell writes. According to Odell's reporting, "neither Gwyneth nor Goop's board nor its investors were concerned about these controversies." When Condé Nast and Anna Wintour tapped Goop for a magazine partnership in 2017, the deal fell apart after only two issues because Paltrow and Goop wouldn't comply with Condé Nast's fact-checking standards. There was also a power struggle over whether Paltrow or Wintour had true control over the magazine. Paltrow wanted complete control to promote Goop's merchandise in the magazine, but Condé Nast feared it would alienate advertisers or compromise integrity. Odell reports that Wintour and Paltrow's relationship was a 'lovefest in the early days,' with the media mogul calling Paltrow 'baby' in meetings. But Wintour wanted the stories to be rigorously fact-checked, and Odell writes that Paltrow dismissed any criticism as 'patriarchal,' saying that she was 'finally illuminating truths that other outlets would not' about women's health, even if they weren't backed by science. Experts Odell spoke with for 'Gwyneth' liken Goop to a cult because of the way its foundational wellness beliefs tie into consumers' identities. 'Proponents of wellness have positioned it as necessary opposition to Big Ag and Big Pharma, conveniently ignoring (what) they've created: Big Wellness,' Odell writes.
