British actor Tom Ellis is officially set to reprise his role in Tell Me Lies Season 3, bringing back a character whose arc continues to stir complex emotions among viewers.The announcement comes after speculation that his storyline may have concluded with the Season 2 finale, which ended on a dramatic revelation involving an open relationship kept secret from Bree, played by Catherine Missal.Speaking at CBS Fest, Ellis confirmed his return to the Hulu drama, stating he is set to begin filming immediately.'Yes, I'm going back. I'm actually going there on Saturday to start shooting,' Ellis revealed, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.He described the new season as 'as dark, toxic and funny as ever,' hinting at the emotionally charged narrative the show has become known for.'Just when you thought our characters couldn't do anything more ridiculous to themselves, they ended up doing it,' he said, offering a glimpse of what lies ahead in Season 3.The conclusion of the second season saw Bree uncover the truth about her lover Oliver's marriage to Marianne, who had been fully aware of their affair.It was further revealed that Oliver and Marianne were in an open relationship—information Oliver had never disclosed.The discovery upended Bree's sense of trust, leaving her emotionally shattered.Initially, series creator Meaghan Oppenheimer expressed uncertainty about Ellis' future on the show.'I think we kind of learned that Oliver is so broken and hollow by the end of this season that I'm ready for Bree to be done with him,' she told Variety.However, the narrative appears to have shifted in favour of further exploring Oliver's involvement, albeit with less central focus.While Ellis noted that the upcoming season does not centre on his character, he confirmed Oliver will still play a key role in Bree's storyline.'The focus isn't so much on my character this season, but it still plays very much into the Bree storyline,' he said, suggesting continued emotional entanglements and unresolved tensions.The actor also hinted at 'a lot of redeeming moments' for Oliver, potentially setting the stage for a nuanced exploration of his character in the backdrop of past missteps and emotional manipulation.Creator Oppenheimer has indicated a shift in narrative structure for Season 3. Speaking to Variety, she said viewers can expect the story to lean more into the future timeline, particularly focusing on the year 2015, moving away from the earlier college setting in 2008.'I think it would be a little bit shifted in the sense that there will probably be more 2015 than 2008,' she stated.Tell Me Lies Seasons 1 and 2 are currently available for streaming on Disney+.With Ellis confirmed to return and the promise of more layered, dark storytelling, anticipation continues to build for the next chapter of the emotionally charged series.Fans of Tom Ellis and the show's complex relationship dynamics can expect Season 3 to push the boundaries further when it premieres.It traces the intense and complicated relationship between Lucy Albright and Stephen DeMarco as it develops over eight years. Meeting in college during a pivotal time in their lives, the pair navigate a series of seemingly minor decisions that ultimately shape their futures in irreversible ways.Lucy's relationship with food is introduced early in the book, revealing that she has been battling a serious eating disorder for a significant period.

Human-size Labubu doll sold in China: Would you pay 1 million yuan for a toy? Someone just did
Labudu dolls A human-sized Labubu figure was sold for 1.08 million yuan (approximately $150,275) at an auction house in Beijing, China, on Tuesday. This set a new record for the trending doll, which is rapidly gaining popularity. The event was held by Yongle International Auction, with over a thousand bidders participating through the Yongle mobile app. Around 200 people attended in person, and 48 items were offered for sale. All items started with a zero reserve price, eventually generating a total of 3.73 million yuan. This was Yongle's first-ever auction dedicated exclusively to Labubu dolls. Labubu is a quirky monster-like figure with oversized eyes, a mischievous smile and a furry body. It is primarily sold by Chinese toy company Pop Mart and was created by artist Kasing Lung. The most expensive item auctioned was a mint-green Labubu figure, standing 4.3 feet (131 cm) tall. It received several bids before being sold for 1.08 million yuan. The auctioneer said that it is the only piece of its kind in the world. Labubu figurine sells for over $150,000 at Beijing auction | REUTERS The Labubu figure rose to fame after K-pop star Lisa of Blackpink was seen with the doll. She praised it in interviews and social media posts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo In May, British football star David Beckham also shared a photo on Instagram featuring his Labubu doll attached to a bag. One of the auction bidders, Du, said she had planned to spend a maximum of 20,000 yuan on the toy. However, she walked away empty-handed as the final prices soared beyond expectations. 'My child likes it, so every time Labubu releases new products, we buy one or two items. It's hard to explain its popularity, but it must have touched this generation,' she told the news agency Reuters. Previously, a set of three Labubu sculptures—each around 40 cm tall and made of PVC—was sold for 510,000 yuan. The set, from the "Three Wise Labubu" series, was limited to just 120 sets released in 2017. Another set was sold for HKD 203,200 (about $25,890) at Sotheby's recent auction in Hong Kong.

Labubu-doll craze drives Pop Mart share price over 190% higher YTD. Can this multibagger stock rally more?
Pop Mart share price: Helped by strong profit growth and high demand for Labubu dolls, shares of Pop Mart, a Beijing-based firm, have risen nearly 200% so far in 2025 alone. Pop Mart is a Chinese company that designs, develops, and distributes designer toys and collectables. Its shares trade on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The Labubu doll craze has significantly boosted Pop Mart's stock price due to its massive popularity and the company's strategic response. Pop Mart share price, which closed at 89.65 yuan on December 31 last year is currently trading at 266 yuan, recording a multibagger gain of 197%. The Chinese retail stock has been in the green for six months straight. While Pop Mart stock took a breather in December 2024, shedding just 0.22%, it rose in all the months from February 2024 to November 2024, recording 10 months of gains in a row. Labubu was created a decade ago by Hong Kong artist and illustrator Kasing Lung. In 2019, Lung agreed to let them be sold by Pop Mart, which markets collectable figurines often sold in "blind boxes". A buyer of a blind box toy does not know exactly what design they will receive until they open the packaging. The starting price for Labubu blind box toys sold in Pop Mart's stores is around 50 yuan. Labubu, a quirky plush toy, saw a huge rise in its popularity after K-pop star Lisa from Blackpink was spotted with a Labubu and praised the doll in interviews and online posts. This endorsement sparked a worldwide demand, leading to long lines at Pop Mart stores and rapid sellouts online. In May, British football star David Beckham shared a photo on Instagram of his Labubu attached to a bag. The company's "blind boxes" are creating a sense of exclusivity and encouraging repeat purchases, especially among Gen Zs (those born between 1997 to 2012). The company also expanded its presence internationally, opening new stores and enhancing its online platforms. The impact of the Labubu doll craze is also visible in Pop Mart's financials. Net income for the Beijing-based toys company rose 188% to 3.1 billion yuan ($427 million) in 2024 compared to 1.1 billion yuan a year earlier, beating the 2.71 billion yuan analyst estimate, according to a Bloomberg report. Full-year sales more than doubled to 13 billion yuan. The performance of Labubu was 'particularly impressive,' it added. Thirteen of its intellectual property products generated sales of over 100 million yuan. The company said will continue to expand its global footprint with focus on North America and Europe, after reporting its profit more than doubled last year, thanks to the popularity of its patented products. Pop Mart shares have surged 1235.58% in 66 weeks, rallying from 20.2 yuan to 266.4 yuan, said Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments, adding that the stock is now extremely overstretched from both short- and long-term moving averages, which are likely to act as magnets for a mean reversion. 'A breach below 245 yuan will trigger a corrective phase, pulling the stock back toward its average price zones. Traders should brace for potential consolidation or pullback in the near term,' Jain added. Disclaimer: This story is for educational purposes only.

Elizabeth Hurley shares naked photo on her 60th birthday, declares she is in love; See pic
British actor Elizabeth Hurley has been slaying for what feels like forever — and her latest post is just the most recent reminder. To mark her 60th birthday on June 10, the Bedazzled star shared a stunning nude photo of herself lounging in a grassy field, wearing nothing but a necklace and wrapping her arms and legs around her body. 'Happy birthday to me! This year has already been a wild ride; my 30th year of working with the Estée Lauder Companies, my 30th year as the Global Ambassador of the @esteelaudercompanies Breast Cancer Campaign, the 20th anniversary of @elizabethhurleybeach and… I'm in love,' she wrote. 'Feeling very blessed and grateful for having the best friends & family in the world,' she added, noting the photo was 'taken this afternoon… in my birthday suit xxx.' A post shared by Elizabeth Hurley (@elizabethhurley1) Her 23-year-old son Damian, was quick to react to the bold post, commenting, 'Hahahah I LOVE YOU. happy birthday mama xxx.' He also shared his own tribute, posting several mother-son photos along with the caption, 'best friend forever. happy birthday mama xxx.' A post shared by Damian Hurley (@damianhurley1) Billy Ray Cyrus, whom Elizabeth went public with in April, joined in the celebrations too. He posted a smiling photo of the two of them, writing, 'Happy birthday to the love of my life.' A post shared by Billy Ray Cyrus (@billyraycyrus) The couple first met on the set of Christmas in Paradise in 2022 and felt an immediate spark — but didn't reconnect until nearly two years later, when Elizabeth reached out following Billy's divorce from Firerose in May, last year. Their marriage was officially dissolved in August. Ahead of her birthday, Elizabeth had revealed plans to ring in the big 6-0 with Billy. 'I am looking forward to celebrating with Billy Ray. He should be in England for my birthday. He'll be meeting my family – and my dogs – and hopefully, it'll be lovely,' she had told Hello magazine. 'I love every birthday. I always get overexcited if it's a big birthday – I think people are even nicer to you, maybe give you more presents, more flowers, and generally spoil you more. I welcome it," she added.
