Ο λόγος για τον Χαμάντ Αλ Θάνι, συγγενή του εμίρη του Κατάρ και την 

 περίφημη παραλία Καστάνι της Σκοπέλου. 

Ο εκτομμυριούχος πέρασε με την οικογένειά του ημέρες ξεκούρασης στις Σποράδες και με αυτόν τον τρόπο γνώρισε και την παραλία με γαλαζοπράσινα νερά Καστάνι στην οποία έχει γυριστεί και το Μamma Mia. Είναι το σημείο όπου η Τάνια τραγουδάει το ''Does your mother know''και η Sophie με τον Sky ερωτευμένοι τραγουδούν το ''Lay All Your Love on me''.

Σύμφωνα με τη Real News, άνθρωποι του Χαμάντ αλ Θάνι φέρονται να έχουν 

επικοινωνήσει ήδη με τους ιδιοκτήτες μιας έκτασης που βρίσκεται ακριβώς

 πάνω από την παραλία.

Για τη συγκεκριμένη έκταση που σύμφωνα με πληροφορίες ανήκει σε γνωστή 

οικογένεια της Ελλάδας, είχε ενδιαφερθεί πριν από μερικά χρόνια και ο Ρομάν

 Αμπράμοβιτς με τις διαπραγματεύσεις να ναυαγούν την τελευταία στιγμή. 

Ο Ρώσος κροίσος είχε ενδιαφερθεί να αγοράσει εκτός από το συγκεκριμένο 

ακίνητο και ένα όμορο οικόπεδο. Το τελευταίο πωλούνταν προς 10 εκ.ευρώ με

 τον ιδιοκτήτη του όμως να αλλάζει τιμή μόλις έμαθε πως ο ενδιαφερόμενος 

ήταν ο Αμπράμοβιτς και να ζητάει 15.000.000. Οι εκπρόσωποι του Αμπράμοβιτς

 δυσαρεστήθηκαν και η αγοραπωλησία ναυάγησε.

Όλα αυτά τα γνωρίζει ο Χαμάντ Αλ Θάνι που φέρεται να έχει ξεκαθαρίσει 

πως δεν θα μπει σε παζάρια για την έκταση που τον ενδιαφέρει.

Λαμπρος,ο νικητής του «Master Chef» 

Ο τελικός του «Master Chef» ολοκληρώθηκε αναδεικνύοντας 

τον μεγάλο νικητή.

Ο Κωνσταντίνος Τσιάτσιος και ο Λάμπρος Βακιάκος έδωσαν τον καλύτερό τους

 εαυτό φτιάχνοντας γευστικότατα πιάτα.

Ο μεγάλος τελικός του Master Chef εξελίχθηκε σε ένα ντέρμπι για τους δύο 

φιναλίστ του παιχνιδιού μαγειρικής, οι οποίοι μέσα από τρεις δύσκολες 

διαδικασίες κλήθηκαν να δώσουν τον καλύτερο εαυτό τους, προκειμένου να 

πλησιάσουν στο όνειρο. 

Στην πρώτη δοκιμασία, Λάμπρος και Κωνσταντίνος κλήθηκαν να δοκιμάσουν 

από ένα «τσίλι κον κάρνε» και να εντοπίσουν τα 20 υλικά που περιελάμβανε το 

πιάτο. Κάθε παίκτης κατάφερε να βρει από οκτώ υλικά, κάτι που είχε ως 

αποτέλεσμα να περάσουν στη δεύτερη δοκιμασία ισόπαλοι.

Η δεύτερη δοκιμασία απαιτούσε από τους παίκτες να επιλέξουν ένα master box, όπου
 κρυβόταν το βασικό υλικό, με το οποίο θα δημιουργούσαν μια συνταγή της
 επιλογής τους. Τα πιάτα τους βαθμολόγησαν οι τρεις κριτές του σόου δίνοντας
 ιδιαίτερα υψηλή βαθμολογία. Ωστόσο, ο Κωνσταντίνος κατάφερε να αποσπάσει
 δύο δεκάρια και έτσι να προπορευθεί με έναν μόλις βαθμό του αντιπάλου του.

Στην τελική δοκιμασία, οι τρεις Έλληνες σεφ και κριτές του παιχνιδιού,
 Δημήτρης Σκαρμούτσος, Πάνος Ιωαννίδης, Σωτήρης Κοντιζάς υποδέχτηκαν
 έναν από τους διασημότερους κριτές MasterChef σε όλο τον κόσμο, τον
 πολυβραβευμένο σεφ, με ελληνική και κυπριακή καταγωγή, George Calombaris.

Αυτός είναι που έδωσε στους παίκτες μία από τις δυσκολότερες συνταγές του,
 ανεβάζοντας τον πήχη της αναμέτρησης σε δυσθεώρητα επίπεδα.

Τελικά, μετά από ένα συγκλονιστικό τελικό και με μόλις ένα βαθμό διαφορά,
 ο Λάμπρος κέρδισε τον τίτλο του Master Chef αλλά και το έπαθλο των 50.000 ευρώ.

46ο Φεστιβάλ Ολύμπου: Εικαστικές

 εμπνεύσεις από τη φύση

 και τις αρχαιότητες! 

Ο Μακρόν αποχαιρετά τη Ζαν Μορό: Μία φλογερή γυναίκα της αριστεράς 

Ο πρόεδρος της Γαλλίας Εμανουέλ Μακρόν απέτισε φόρο τιμής σε «μια φλογερή

γυναίκα της αριστεράς», στην ηθοποιό Ζαν Μορό που πέθανε σήμερα σε ηλικία

 89 ετών.

«Ανήκει στις προσωπικότητες που από μόνες τους εκπροσωπούν την τέχνη τους. 

Η Ζαν Μορό υπήρξε μια από αυτές. Μαζί της χάνεται μια καλλιτέχνης που

ενσάρκωνε τον κινηματογράφο στην πολυπλοκότητά του, τη μνήμη του»,

 τονίζει ο αρχηγός του κράτους σε ανακοίνωση που εκδόθηκε από το Μέγαρο 

των Ηλυσίων.

«Θα λέγαμε, σε σχέση με την Ζαν Μορό, ότι ένα μέρος του θρύλου του

 κινηματογράφου χάνεται, αλλά όλη η δουλειά της ήταν ακριβώς να μην

 περιορίζει ποτέ την τέχνη της μέσα σε μια μυθολογία και να μην κλείνεται

 ποτέ στο σεβάσμιο καθεστώς της 'μεγάλης ηθοποιού'».
