The double premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 started with a bang: Not only is the competition heating up in bracket 1, but fans also got to meet a brand-new Pit Crew member appearing on the show. The man appearing between Bryce Eilenberg and Bruno Alcantara in episode 2 of All Stars 10 is called Manuel. The actor, model, and musician — who has a different stage name for music — is from Argentina, but lives in Australia. So, without further ado, scroll through to learn more about the latest addition to the Pit Crew! Manuel is an actor, model, and musician uses a different name for his music career: Manúk. Manuel was born in Argentina, but he eventually moved to Australia, as noted in an interview with DA MAN. The publication also highlighted that Manuel "garnered significant attention" for starring as Hunter Rodriguez in the 2023 film The Winner Takes It All. "I come from a small city called Santa Rosa," Manuel told DA MAN in an interview from January 2025. "For a long time, I felt like something was missing and that I didn't quite fit in. There was this internal struggle within me that drove me to explore new places. I believe that many people go through similar experiences at least once in their lives. I spent the first few years after high school in Argentina, but eventually, I decided I wanted to move somewhere completely different." Manúk currently has 21,000 monthly listeners and 1,800 followers on Spotify. Most of his listeners on the music streaming platform come from Australia and Brazil. "Manúk is a visionary Argentinian artist based in Sydney, drawing inspiration from personal changes and emotions while infusing his music with what feels authentic to him," Manúk's bio on Spotify reads. "His sound seamlessly blends smooth R&B rhythms with a Latin spice, pushing the boundaries of the pop genre. With a unique style and vibrant performances, Manúk is making waves in the music scene." Manúk has been releasing music since 2020. However, the latest Pit Crew member has yet to drop an album or EP. His most popular songs include "Overstimulated," "Follow Me," "Hawái," and "Love Letters," to name a few. In his DA MAN interview, Manuel explained that "Overstimulated" is "about falling in love and jumping into something super scary, like how it is when you give yourself to a new person." Manúk - No Brainer On YouTube, Manúk's official channel has 1,080 subscribers as of this writing. The musician, actor, model, and Pit Crew member released a music video for "No Brainer" two weeks ago, on April 26.

Björn Ulvaeus Reveals the ABBA Hit He Wrote While 'Intoxicated' from Drinking Whiskey
Alcohol played a role in the creation of a major ABBA hit. In a new interview with The Times, member Björn Ulvaeus revealed ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All" was written under the influence of whiskey before he quit drinking in 2007. "I wrote that song very quickly while drinking whisky during my drinking days," the 79-year-old artist told the outlet. "I rarely wrote while intoxicated because you look at the words the next day and it's garbage." Related: ABBA Members: Where Are They Now? "But most of 'The Winner Takes It All' is actually good," added Ulvaeus. "It's not a personal story, but I tried to find the detail of a real human pain." Released as the lead single off ABBA's Super Trouper album, "The Winner Takes It All" reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts in the U.K. The group sings on the track, "The winner takes it all / The loser has to fall / It's simple and it's plain / Why should I complain?"

Ulvaeus, Benny Anderson, Anni-Frid "Frida" Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog released their latest album as ABBA, Voyage, in 2021. The legendary band has since been immortalized with a hologram residency of the same name in London, which is currently slated to run through 2029 at the ABBA Arena. Elsewhere in his interview with The Times, Ulvaeus spoke to the future of the ABBA Voyage residency — and whether it'd continue after one of the band members dies.

We are allowed to stay in our current venue till 2029, but ticket sales might drop, you never know," he said. "But is it right to continue when someone is dead? That's a big ethical question." However, Ulvaeus wouldn't be personally bothered if the show continues after his own death. "Did Agatha Christie have a problem with The Mousetrap?" he asked, referencing the play that's been running in London since 1952. "When you're gone, you're gone but… my kids might appreciate it."
