Official poster featuring the cast of Olympo.
The production company behind Élite has unleashed its new Netflix series, Olympo, which somehow manages to be even hornier and more chaotic than the show set in Las Encinas.
Olympo centers on Spain's top athletes all living and training together at CAR (Centro de Alto Rendimiento Pirineos, which translates to Pyrenees High Performance Center in English). Between swimmers and wrestlers, this queer-inclusive series has quite a cast of gorgeous, sexy, and charismatic actors.

British and Irish Lions lose their Australia tour warmup to Argentina
DUBLIN (AP) — First, the good news for the British and Irish Lions: They didn't appear to suffer any tour-ending injuries against Argentina on Friday. The bad news: They lost to Argentina 28-24 in the warmup to their nine-game tour of Australia. The result, humbling for now, will be regarded as a minor setback, maybe even an inspiration, if the Lions go on and win the three-test series against the Wallabies. The Lions led the Pumas for only 12 minutes in the entire match and had two prime attacking chances in the last four minutes. But their lineout maul was stopped in its tracks, then a Lions penalty in front of the posts was overturned due to a neck roll by Tadhg Beirne. 'We weren't as consistent as we would have liked to be. We only showed glimmers of what we can do,' Lions captain Maro Itoje told broadcaster Sky Sports. 'When we were on it, we looked good, we just need to do it more consistently. Argentina showed us where we are lacking. I am happy we had a hard-fought game. We live and learn. This is only match one.' Despite a training camp in Portugal that was meant to help cement combinations, and nine English starters, the Lions still looked less cohesive and determined than Argentina, which was missing a dozen front-liners and had only two proper training runs. The Pumas beat the Lions for the first time in a history between them that goes back to 1910. They also warmed up the 2005 Lions in Cardiff, and suffered heartbreak when Jonny Wilkinson landed a penalty in the 87th minute for a 25-25 draw. No draw this time. The Pumas were ruthless with their chances, and matched the Lions with three tries. Two tries from inside their own 22 were the game's highlights. The Lions enjoyed majority possession, had the better scrum, and gave away only five penalties but they forced too many passes and the Pumas defense was outstanding. 'You can't win a test with that error rate,' Lions coach Andy Farrell said. "We lost enough balls in that game for a full tour, throwing balls that weren't on. They were hungrier than us with the ball on the ground. 'There was good and bad throughout. We were just a little bit off, I take responsibility for that. I hope we are better off for that.' The Lions were nowhere near their test side. Few players from last weekend's finals of the English Premiership and United Rugby Championship were involved, and only six of the 16 Irish players. But the Pumas were understrength, too, for a match outside the test window. Argentina scored the first points, a Tomas Albornoz penalty, and the first try, finished by wing Ignacio Mendy from an Albornoz miss-out pass to fullback Santiago Carreras in a gap. Meanwhile, the Lions had two tries in the first quarter ruled out for knock-ons but Bundee Aki finally got their first touchdown when he busted through three defenders. The second quarter was all Argentina. Albornoz kicked two more penalties and converted his own injury-time try for 21-10. The Lions didn't protect ruck ball in the Argentina 22 and Rodrigo Isgro and Carreras set Albornoz away in an 80-meter counterattack. The Lions rubbed out the deficit thanks to the forwards. A penalty try from a lineout maul also sent Pumas prop Mayco Vivas to the sin-bin, and the Lions used the man advantage to give Beirne a converted try. But moments later, an Isgro aerial catch started a sweeping counterattack involving Albornoz, No. 8 Joaquin Oviedo, debut starter Justo Piccardo and Matias Moroni that was finished by a swan dive from Santiago Cordero. Even with 22 minutes left, the Lions could not find a reply. ___

BTS is back - but the K-pop superstars are returning to a changed industry
"I missed them so much," says Stephanie Prado, a die-hard BTS fan who has been desperately waiting for the group to reunite after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus. Her love for the boy band inspired her to move from Brazil to South Korea - so it was no surprise that she turned up last Friday for "BTS Festa", a big party held every year near Seoul on the group's anniversary. The time she has spent waiting has moved "both slowly and really quickly", Stephanie says, waving an ARMY bomb, the official lightstick used by BTS fans, who call themselves the ARMY. Behind her is a huge sculpture of the lightstick, a must-have in the K-pop world. This year's event is special because a reunion is finally around the corner. The countdown peaked last week, when four of the seven members, RM, V, Jimin and Jung Kook, completed their military service. And the wait ends on Saturday when the last of them, Suga, is discharged. "I hope they rest now," Stephanie says, before adding, "but of course I also want albums, concerts, everything". The 18 months in the military that are mandatory for all South Korean men forced the world's most successful boy band in recent years to hit pause in 2022. Now they are returning, some say, to a K-pop industry that is quite different to the one they knew: faced with stalled album sales, shaken by scandals and increasingly scrutinised over the excessive pressure its puts on stars. The absence of a leading band, industry watchers say, was deeply felt. "Without BTS, a core pillar was missing," says Kim Young-dae, music critic and author of BTS: The Review. "There have been concerns recently that K-pop is losing momentum. True or not, BTS could change that perception." There are no plans yet for all seven members to appear together, but that didn't stop the ARMY from gathering early on a humid morning in Goyang. The long, restless queue stretched to the subway station an hour before the gates for the BTS Festa opened. The snippets of English, Chinese, Japanese and Spanish alongside Korean threw off a local walking past who asked, "Why are there so many foreigners here?" Inside were more queues - some people were hopping with excitement and others were sobbing after entering the "voice zone", a phone booth where you could listen to BTS members' messages. About half of the fans the BBC spoke to teared up talking about how much they missed BTS. "It felt like the 18 months lasted forever," said Vuyo Matiwane, a South African who had been visiting BTS-themed venues in Seoul, like their favourite restaurant. "I was crying at every location - it was so emotional." And then she watched the livestream of them being discharged, which was "overwhelming". Being surrounded by all things BTS made a trip halfway across the world worth it, says Fara Ala, who travelled from the Netherlands: "Breathing the same air, drinking the same water, eating the same food as BTS - that's enough for ARMY. If you ask other ARMY, they'd say the same." South Korean military service is a major test for male celebrities, many of whom have to enlist at the peak of their success. In the past, it has proved fatal for some careers. BTS is believed to have staggered it so that all seven members were missing from action for no more than six months. J-Hope, who was discharged last October, has since wrapped up a solo world tour. But the so-called curse can be hard to break. For one, the loyalty of fans could wane as new groups debut almost every week, competing for their attention. Returning idols also face a tough transition because a military stint and a touch of maturity could dampen the essence of K-pop appeal: youthful energy. But if anyone can break the curse, it's BTS, Mr Kim says. Each of them announced solo projects in the past two and half years, he explains, without hurting their popularity as a group: "It feels like their military hiatus passed by naturally. Their return feels smooth." Still, the industry beyond the ARMY can pose a challenge. While BTS was on a break, the other K-pop sensation, Blackpink, has not dropped an album since September 2022, opting instead for solo releases. These were the leaders of K-pop's third generation. But they have been succeeded by fourth and fifth generations that have brought fresh style to the genre. The newer acts - which debuted after 2018 - lack a standout name like BTS because K-pop has become more diverse than ever. The result is a range of very popular and experimental groups. "Most people my age like fourth generation idols these days," says a 13-year-old fan of girl group IVE. "Some still like third generation groups, but for teens, BTS kind of feels like they belong to an older generation. A lot of new idols debuted while BTS was away, and they have become popular." But the biggest challenge to BTS' superstar status is what some see as a slowdown in K-pop. Revenue from concerts remains strong, but album sales - a key market metric - have been declining since a peak in 2023. The slump coincides with when BTS and Blackpink were not releasing albums. South Korean pop culture critic Park Hee Ah agrees that K-pop went through "some difficult times" while BTS was away. There have also been several controversies, such as the headline-making dispute between hit girl group NewJeans and their agency, allegations of mistreatment by all-powerful agencies and harassment of stars by fans and trolls. "Album sales started to drop, and some problems - like questions about companies doing the right thing - came up," Ms Park said. Because of all of this, she adds, we did see more "deeper problems in the K-pop industry". That's also why so many are looking forward to BTS' return, hoping it will bring renewed energy - and maybe even a path forward for the industry. "Their return will help people focus on Korea's music scene again," Ms Park says, adding that a BTS reunion is great not just for their fans but also for Korean soft power. All eyes are now on the band's next song. "I will quickly make an album and return to the stage," RM, the group's leader, said on the day he was discharged. But a new group album may not come until early next year because J-Hope still has domestic concerts scheduled, and Jin is set to hold concerts for fans across the world over the next few months. It's also possible Suga, who landed in controversy after he was caught drunk-driving a scooter last year, may want to lie low for a little while. For millions of fans like Stephanie though, simply knowing BTS is back together is enough - for now. "It'll feel like nothing ever changed. The kings are back."

Teresa Giudice Ditches Interview After News Anchor Asks, ‘How Is It That a Family Doesn't Pay Their Taxes for Years?'
The Queen must not be questioned! This morning, Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice was on a Zoom interview with WGN in Chicago. All was well, until they asked Tre a question that was too shady for the Jersey diva. The video from WGN has since been removed from YouTube. Thankfully, Instagram account @nofilterwithzack scooped it up. 'What's going to happen with the reboot of [The Real Housewives of] New Jersey?' the female reporter asked. 'Are you going to be involved in it at all?' 'I hope,' she responded. 'I'm the OG, yes. So we'll see what happens.' 'You'll have to ask Bravo for that,' she added. Then the male half of the news team (Larry Potash) dropped the bombshell. 'How is it that a family doesn't pay their taxes for years?' he wondered. In call you don't recall, he's referring to that time that Teresa and her ex-husband Joe Giudice didn't pay taxes. Subsequently, they both went to 'camp' for several months. Teresa pretended to look perplexed as she blinked a few times and asked, 'Um, what family are you talking about?' 'Your family,' Larry said. After fuming for a few seconds, Tre simply said, 'Okay, I'm done now.' And she turned off her phone. End of interview. That didn't go well. Actually, I'd kind of like to know the answer to that question, too. I've always been afraid that the IRS would come after me if I so much as made a mistake on my taxes. Further, I'd be terrified to just not even file a return by April 15. It's just part of American life. Apparently, Teresa didn't learn her lesson with Joe, because she and her second husband Luis Ruelas are also now having tax issues. The Real Housewives of New Jersey is now streaming on Peacock in the US and on Hayu in the UK and Ireland. TELL US – DO YOU THINK THE REPORTER'S QUESTION WAS APPROPRIATE? OR WAS IT JUST A 'GOTCHA' MOMENT? The post Teresa Giudice Ditches Interview After News Anchor Asks, 'How Is It That a Family Doesn't Pay Their Taxes for Years?' appeared first on Reality Tea.
