We boil this epic love story down to the core of its conflict and drop the stage into a sporting arena. 

The audience witness to two groups in opposition by default, by desire to rise above the other. 

Through the provocation and conflict, we catch a glimpse of our star crossed lovers. They are fierce players but still do not seem to care who wins or loses if playing the game can bring them closer together. 

Competition can be playful at times, it can also be dangerously serious.

(Photo: Cubicle Ninjas)

There are a huge number of VR companies all vying to create ever more unique experiences for consumers – and one of the biggest growth categories has been travel. And what better time to get a taste of exploration and adventure from the comfort of your living room, equipped only with a VR headset, than now, when travel is a luxury that many just can’t stretch to? We’ve picked out 10 of the best virtual reality travel experiences currently on the market.

So which VR headset should you go for? Our favourite is the Meta Quest 3, which launched onto the market in mid-2023 and is the successor to the Meta Quest 2. For immersive games and travel experiences, we believe the Meta Quest 3 is destined to become the leading VR headset over the coming years. It’s pretty affordable, too, and unlike other headsets, doesn’t require cords or a computer. You can purchase the Meta Quest 3 at Amazon.com.

Users can also customise their sessions to their own specific preferences and needs, including the option to switch into Motion mode and gently float through beautiful vistas like you would on a lazy river, leaving the worries of your life behind before returning calmer and stronger.

Rome Reborn: The Pantheon

Created by Flyover Zone, an American company specialising in virtual travel applications that present the world’s most important cultural heritage sites and monuments, Rome Reborn is one of five applications that present different areas of ancient Rome. This particular one transports users over the entire ancient city, focussing on the Pantheon, perhaps the best-preserved building from antiquity. In the company of two virtual guides, you’ll get to explore the exterior forecourt and interior sanctuary of the reconstructed complex as you listen and learn about the Pantheon’s design and decoration, as well as the nature of the religious cult once housed within it.

PRICE £3.99 HEADSETS Currently only available on Oculus Rift

Monte Fitzroy is Argentina’s most famous mountain landmark and is even used as the logo for outdoor retailer, Patagonia. It is a place that immediately evokes a sense of adventure. At the foot of the mountain is a beautiful and remote glacial lake known as Laguna Sucia. Most people who visit Monte Fitzroy view it from a location that is much easier to access. Laguna Sucia requires a much tougher hard-to-access trail that culminates in one of the most beautiful and remote glacial lakes in existence. You are rewarded with a sense of almost meditative stillness as you approach this untouched natural amphitheatre. This VR experience utilises Pterovision, a 3D technology that integrates computational photography, 360 Video, and gaming and allows you to take off like a bird, fly around the lake, visit the waterfalls along the edge, and fly over glacial formations beneath the mountain peaks. Numerous narrations will tell you about the challenges we faced when filming in this location, as well as educate you about the geology, culture, and history.

Who says you can't see the world if you stay home? Virtual reality (VR) tourism experiences let you see places all over the world without ever leaving your couch. These aren't games; they're experiences, so the pace may be slower than you expect, but they are worth your patience. Here are some of the best VR tourist destinations to help you decide on your next virtual adventure.

Make sure your computer is beefy enough to handle the demands of virtual reality technology.

The Grand Canyon VR Experience

Very relaxing experience.

Excellent visual and sound quality.

Impressive attention to detail.

Predefined with little control.

Requires powerful hardware.

Short experience.

In The Grand Canyon VR Experience (by Immersive Entertainment), you sit in a virtual motorized kayak ride through the Grand Canyon. Tailor the tour to your preferences by selecting either a sunlit or moonlit experience and controlling the ride's speed.

While you cruise along, you'll enjoy the sights and sounds of procedurally generated, artificially intelligent wildlife. Attract and feed the virtual fish as you navigate the waterways.

The ride is on rails, so you can't steer the kayak. However, you can stop at various points and enjoy the scenery by using the throttle speed controls of your motorized kayak or by exiting at scenic rest stops.

The tour is short, and there's no historical background information for history buffs. Still, it is a fun ride perfect for someone new to VR.

This tour requires one of the following virtual reality headsets: HTC Vive, Oculus Rift , or Valve Index .

Explore amazing places.

Impressively detailed.

More locations are added to the library regularly.

Not updated recently.

Realities is a VR travel app that allows you to explore scanned and modeled real-world environments. The environments aren't just 360-degree photos; these locations were captured with specialized scanning equipment, allowing for immersive rendering in virtual reality.

The user interface is a giant globe you rotate with your VR controllers. Once you decide on the place you want to visit, tap the area on the virtual globe, and you are instantly whisked away to the exotic locale.

One interesting destination is a cell in the infamous Alcatraz prison. When you arrive, you're greeted by an unseen narrator, presumably a former prisoner in the cell next to you, who recalls their experiences. It's museum-like and an educational adventure worth having.

There are other destinations of varying size and complexity, and the experience is updated with new realities regularly.

This experience is compatible with the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Valve Index, and Windows Mixed Reality .

Titans of Space PLUS

Great soundtrack.

Detailed 3D visuals.

Impressive sense of scale.

Flying through space makes some users feel nauseated.

No improvements since late 2019.

Do you like planetariums? Have you always wished they were more realistic? If you've ever dreamed of riding in a spaceship and exploring the solar system and beyond, Titans of Space PLUS (by DrashVR LLC) helps make this a reality—at least a virtual one).

The original Titans of Space was one of the first polished virtual reality experiences available; it created a lot of buzz about all the potential VR had to offer.

This app provides a theme park-style ride through the solar system and beyond, allowing you to control the pace of the experience. Factoids about the planets and moons are provided throughout your journey, as are distances and other measurements of interest.

The sense of scale of the planets and moons is truly awe-inspiring and gives a unique perspective only astronauts usually get to have.

This title runs in both standard and VR modes. It does not require a VR headset. It is compatible with HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Valve Index, and Windows Mixed Reality.

Impressive rendering technology.

Auto-tunes for your GPU.

Stunning visuals.

Can feel slow.

Mostly narration with little hands-on time.

Everest VR (from Sólfar Studios ) is an interactive Mount Everest VR tourism experience.

You'll experience Mount Everest in five iconic scenes. Prepare for your expedition at Basecamp, traverse the terrifying Khumbu Icefalls, spend the night at Camp 4, ascend the perilous Hillary Step, and finally conquer the summit of Everest.

After completing your first summit attempt, unlock God Mode to reach a unique vantage point of the Himalayas that's only possible in VR. Towering over the mountain range, this is a stunning VR diorama.

EVEREST VR is a must if you're into mountain climbing but don't like its possible death and frostbite aspects.

Requires one of the following virtual reality headsets: HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, or Valve Index.

The VR Museum of Fine Art

Lots of content.

Educational experience.

Hasn't been updated since its initial release.

No voice narration.

Only takes about 20 minutes to experience.

If you've ever wanted to peruse a museum at your own pace with no limits on how close you can get to the artwork, then The VR Museum of Fine Art (free from Finn Sinclair) is for you.

This free app holds amazing educational value with incredibly detailed scans of some of the world's most famous paintings and sculptures. Look at the brushstrokes of Monet's Water Lilies or take a 360-degree tour of Michelangelo's David. This is an art lover's delight.  

The experience makes you feel as if you're visiting a museum, complete with a pamphlet map to help you navigate your way around the exhibits.

Great VR experience.

Incredibly realistic.

Contains three episodes.

theBlu (from Wevr INC .) is a collection of virtual reality-based underwater experiences that make you feel as if you're literally in the tank of a huge aquarium exhibit.

Stand on the deck of a sunken ship while a gargantuan whale swims by and looks you straight in the eye or swim in a sea of bioluminescent jellyfish. There's no need for expensive scuba equipment or diving classes, or even to leave your living room, for that matter.

The level of detail in this app is amazing, and the sense of scale (especially during the whale encounter in the first episode) is jaw-dropping.

Compatible with HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Valve Index, and Windows Mixed Reality.

Google Earth VR

Amazing street view VR.

Travel the world virtually.

Impressive, vast experience.

Can be slow to load.

Lacks a search feature.

May cause motion sickness.

When Google Earth was released many years ago, everyone marveled at the novelty of finding and viewing their house from satellite imagery. Now, Google Earth VR (free from Google) lets you see your house from space and virtually fly to it and stand in your front yard or on your rooftop.

Change the sun's position, scale objects to any size you like, and fly around the world. The detail levels depend on what you're trying to view. For example, tourist destinations are likely to have more detailed geospatial imagery than rural areas. There is so much to see, and Google offers virtual tours to help you get started.

Google has even added several comfort features to prevent virtual travel sickness in this must-see virtual reality app.

20 Of The Best Reality TV Shows To Watch

Reality TV is better than ever. These are the shows to fill that drama-filled hole in your life.

Whether you hate to admit it or are free about your love for reality TV , you can't deny its pull. Ordinary people have gone from contestants on low-budget shows to some of the biggest names in the media industry. And of course, much of pop culture's lexicon, trends and talking points all derive from reality TV.

Classics such as Big Brother , The Bachelor and The Real Housewives franchise caught the attention of viewers back in the early noughties, and have made way for newer shows such as Love Is Blind, The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On and 90 Day Fiancé today.

Whether you like to indulge in the drama and gossip, or love the tension of high-stake challenges and jaw-dropping plot twists there's something from everyone.

Rather than scouring the internet for something to watch, we've compiled a comprehensive list of the 20 best reality TV shows to watch:

Love Is Blind

Not many of us would agree to go on a blind date, let alone sign up to a dating show where the premise is to marry someone that you have never met. The Netflix programme involves 30 eligible singles dating one another and getting to know each other in pods, where they can't see each other. The real question is whether they'll stay together once married to test whether love really is blind.

The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On

As the title suggests, The Ultimatum: Marry Or Move On is about exactly that - couples whose future wishes aren't quite aligned. One partner wishes to get marries while the other isn't ready to tie the knot. The social experiment tests whether couples will make the decision to get married or split up for good.

Love Island

Whether you loathe it or love it, it's near impossible to escape Love Island 's reach during the summer. Not only this, but due to its relatable themes of love and all of the ups and downs that come with it, it's easy to get hooked.

Hosted by Maya Jama, single individuals sign up for a promised summer of love in the hopes of finding 'The One' (and/or fame). Between challenges, surprise guests, endless love triangles and heartbreak, not all of them will find love.

Selling Sunset

If you're not already acquainted with Selling Sunset - don't walk, run! The series takes viewers into the lives of the elite real estate brokers at the Oppenheim Group who sell luxury homes worth millions to buyers all over Los Angeles.

Between personality clashes, conflicts of interest and differences of opinion when it comes to business, this is a show not short of tension and drama.

RuPaul's Drag Race

Without RuPaul's Drag Race , we might have never come to know about some of our favourite drag queens. From Trixxie Mattel to Jujubee and Bimini Bon Boulash, the reality show has birthed a host of legendary queens.

Each episode, they compete with another in a series of dancing, acting, singing and beauty challenges in the hopes of being crowned as the season's winner. Not to mention a £100,000 cash prize.

Glow Up: Britain's Next Make-Up Star

Supermodel Leomie Anderson is on the lookout for the next make-up artist in Britain's beauty industry. Accompanying her are beauty industry legends, Dominic Skinner and Val Garland.

During each series a mix of aspiring beautician's will live and work with one another whilst competing in a series of challenges that test their artistry.

Too Hot To Handle

Living in a villa and under the rules of a virtual assistant named Lana, 10 singles must work together to get through a range of workshops, all while not engaging in any form of physical touch. No kissing, hugging or anything more than that for four weeks, but twist is, all of singles who have signed up prefer short-term relationships over long-term. Hence the show's name, Too Hot To Handle.

Vanderpump Rules

Following her success from being a cast member of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills from 2010 until 2019. Lisa Vanderpump created Vanderpump Rules .

The show follows her and her staff at her various restaurants and bars as they aspire to make it in show business all whilst becoming entangled in drama.

The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills

Inspired by the series' Desperate Housewives and Peyton Palace, The Real Housewives franchise has 21 internationally adapted shows, all of which take viewers into the lives of upper class women living lavish lifestyles.

Expect to be taken on a rollercoaster of emotions as you get to know their inner circles and business, messy drama and love lives.

90 Day Fiancé

Couples have just 90 days to decide whether they'd like to get married or say goodbye to their fiancé's. But of course, like many other reality shows it isn't so straight forward.

One half of the couple makes us of the uncommonly used 90 day fiancé visa, which allows overseas fiancés to travel to the US to live with their prospective partners for the first 90 days and prove that they plan to marry.

The Bachelor

Each season, between 29 to 32 women compete to win the affections of a single bachelor, who must then choose a fiancé. As each week goes on, he must eliminate candidates, ultimately whittling it down to two women and one of them will receive a marriage proposal.

Besides having to somehow pick between a barrage of contestants, the bachelor must do so in a time period much shorter than real life as each season lasts only six weeks.

The Traitors

22 strangers must live together in a castle in the Scottish Highlands to complete a series of challenges and missions together as a team. Things are not as they seem as a few contestants are chosen to become 'traitors.' The remaining contestants will then try and figure out who they are, all while the traitors convene to 'murder' one of them each night.

House Of Sims

The Sims (Chloe, Charlie, Frankie, Demi and Georgia) clan leave Essex and head to Hollywood, California in the hopes of chasing their dreams and making it big.

As they throw themselves in the deep of life in L.A., their relationships are put to the test as they explore business ventures, new relationships and adjusting to a new social life.

Married At First Sight

Much like Love Is Blind , singles with a deep desire for marriage and life-long commitment put their faith in relationship experts as they agree to walk down the aisle and marry someone that they have never met.

If the concept of show seems totally daunting and crazy, you're not alone, but considering that 12 couples out of 64 are still going strong until this day, it may be worth taking your chances.

Love On The Spectrum

If you're looking for a heart-warming reality show, Love On The Spectrum is the one for you. Each season, a camera crew follows young adults who are on the autism spectrum as they explore love, dating and relationships.

One of the few shows that don't use scripts, it won't take too long before you're hooked on tuning in to watch the contestant's blossoming relationships.

The 'Fab 5', which is comprised of Antoni Porowski, Tan France, Karamo Brown, Jonathan Van Ness and Jeremiah Brent get together to give different guests lifestyle and fashion makeovers.

Each episode, they'll spend just a week using their expertise to help improve someone's life situation by refining their wardrobes, grooming, diet, cultural pursuits, and home décor.

Squid Game: The Challenge

When the limited series of the reality show launched on Netflix (soon to make its return with a second season), the world was obsessed with Squid Game . Known for its themes of human morality and unequal societies, in many ways the show paralleled much of what happens in society today.

Given the show had garnered a large fan base, a reality game show inspired by the show was created - minus the gory and life threatening consequences.

A reality, game and dating show all rolled in the one is probably the best way to describe The Circle. Through out the show's duration, contestants live one and compete against one another over a social media called The Circle in the hopes of winning £100,000.

The catch? Some of the contestants are lying about their identity or elements of themselves in order to step closer to the cash prize.

Celebrity Big Brother

Possibly one of the biggest global reality shows in the world, Big Brother has been on our TV screens since the late 90's. Since its creation, many contestants have gone on to achieve fame and success in the media industry, including Alison Hammond and Kate Lawler.

The original show features regular people who live in the same house and must win the public's favour to continue their stay in the house, with the aim of winning the show.

Much like the original, the celebrity spin-off follows the same format, but only consists of celebrities.

When Catfish made its debut back in 2012, it instantly became one of the most watched reality TV shows of its time for shedding a light on the dangers of finding love online.

Each episode follows a different person who, for whatever reason believes that their online lover or companion isn't who they say they are, and is tricking them into an emotional relationship. From former best friends seeking revenge to strangers pretending to be celebrities, no one episode is predictable.

Bucket list travel: the world’s best virtual tours.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Although the pandemic abruptly halted international travel, wanderlust never ceased. Forced to stay home, many people felt even more of an itch to explore new places and get out into the world. As a result, virtual tours surged in popularity over the past year as a welcome escape from life in lockdown. And while people are tip-toeing into travel again, there’s still a large portion of the population that loves to take a virtual experience from home without compromising safety.

A range of travel companies adapted during the course of the pandemic, acknowledging our collective reality. They began morphing guided trips into digital experiences available to anyone with a Wi-Fi connection. “We’re in an explosive period of virtual tourism,” says Bernard Frischer, founder of Flyover Zone , which isn’t new to the field. Flyover Zone has made a name for itself by creating “teletours” of cultural heritage sites. But with the pandemic, according to Frischer, people have gotten “used to these remote technologies that bring the world to their office or living room.”

Major event companies like Eventbrite, which connects creators with a broad community, introduced new technology to move events from in-person to online, and to attract and reach new audiences. “When the COVID-19 global pandemic hit, Eventbrite’s customers were put to the ultimate test—in-person events were paused and the world was told to stay home and apart,” says Tamara Mendelsohn, CMO at Eventbrite. “Yet, from March to April last year, we saw events related to virtual travel and virtual tours increase eight-fold on Eventbrite and show continuous growth throughout the year.”

Now with a virtual tour from Flyover Zone called Baalbek Reborn, you can tour one of the most ... [+] important locations in the Roman Empire. Pictured here: Baalbek's Temple of Jupiter.

By transitioning their events to virtual, event creators generated revenue they might have otherwise missed during the pandemic and they connected with new, global audiences. “In fact, of the virtual events hosted in the U.S. in 2020 on Eventbrite, one quarter of the audience came from overseas locations,” says Mendelsohn.

And while the pandemic won’t last forever, Flyover Zone’s Frischer sees virtual tours as a lasting effect that will whet people’s appetite for real-world tourism going forward. “We compare a virtual tour to a sample chapter of a book that you can download for your e-reader. It’s not designed to make you not want to explore the whole book,” says Frischer. “It’s designed to make you want to read it all.”

Best Travel Insurance Companies

Best covid-19 travel insurance plans.

This seems to be the sentiment across the virtual travel industry. “Even as conventional travel resumes, we continue to see a rise in Amazon Explore experiences booked and anticipate that the new service will continue to grow in popularity,” says an Amazon Explore spokesperson.

Travel the world from your couch through one of these fantastic virtual experiences.

Flyover Zone

If history is your thing, you can’t miss one of Flyover Zone’s teletours—virtual visits to some of the world’s most important cultural heritage sites.

You can see areas that are off-limits and even travel back in time and see what this incredible site looked like in the year 215. The tour is hosted by the very people who excavated the site, bringing the ancient world to life. Cost: free.

The service is home to millions of global events and experiences, but swiftly worked with event creators to add online experiences to the its platform.

The True Story Behind A Gentleman In Moscow's Bolshevik Revolution In 1917

A gentleman in moscow brilliantly connects ewan mcgregor’s alexander rostov & the metropol hotel, ewan mcgregor's new show with 90% on rotten tomatoes delivers the star wars team-up disney never could.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for A Gentleman in Moscow episode 7, "An Assembly."

• Mishka's return in A Gentleman in Moscow episode 7 reveals the toll his imprisonment has taken on him physically and mentally.
• Sofia's musical talents shine in "An Assembly," but her upcoming tour will be a bittersweet milestone without her father, Alexander.
• Alexander's sacrifice of morals to spy on Soviet leadership shows his unwavering dedication to securing a better future for his daughter.

A Gentleman in Moscow episode 7, "An Assembly," is the show's penultimate installment, and places itself in a key moment in Russian history. Alexander Rostov's time in Moscow's Metropol Hotel stretches even further, but with his imprisonment now much more bearable due to the presence of his found family in Anna and Sofia. "An Assembly" is the next stage in A Gentleman in Moscow 's tense and slow-burning narrative, with the return of familiar faces as the country's political landscape shifts once again.

Episode 7 of the adaptation of Amor Towles' 2016 novel continues to abide by real historical milestones while keeping the cast of A Gentleman in Moscow away from the heart of established events. With just one episode remaining, the goings-on in "An Assembly" set up what is sure to be a thrilling and possibly deeply emotional affair for every character within the story. Alexander Rostov may be living the best life available to him , but it looks as though at least part of that happiness is set to end in one way or another.

Ewan McGregor's A Gentleman in Moscow character might be fictional, but he's in the middle of a Russian conflict that happened in real life.

8 Joseph Stalin Is Dead

A gentleman in moscow episode 7 includes a secret time jump.

A Gentleman in Moscow has acknowledged many periods and events from Russian history, including the Bolshevik Revolution, the Soviet Famine, and the death of Vladimir Lenin. "An Assembly" continues this trend by showing Manager Leplevsky listening to the radio announcement of the death of Joseph Stalin. This means that A Gentleman in Moscow episode 7 is set in 1953 , six years after the events of A Gentleman in Moscow episode 6 , "The Fall." What's perhaps most interesting in how the show handles Stalin's death is that the event is used to mask the time jump between episodes 6 and 7.

By the time of A Gentleman in Moscow episode 7, it has been 31 years since Alexander was sentenced to life imprisonment at the Metropol Hotel.

A Gentleman in Moscow has been no stranger to time jumps in previous episodes, but the fast-forwards have always been marked with the new year appearing on the screen in giant, red numbers. "An Assembly" is the first installment to forego this convention, and instead relies on the viewers' knowledge of established events. Regardless, Stalin's death sets in motion a great many other storylines within the episode .

7 Mishka Is Alive (But He's Not In A Good Way)

Alexander's old friend was taken away in episode 4.

Mishka's return isn't the heartfelt reunion it perhaps should have been. Last seen in A Gentleman in Moscow episode 4 , "Good Times," Alexander's university friend has been imprisoned for his anti-Russian rant in the bar of the Metropol Hotel. At the time, it was unclear if he was being taken away to be executed, but "An Assembly" reveals he is alive. Mishka's time in Siberia has left him with physical and mental scars , with the exhaustion caused by his escape resulting in almost a full day of sleep.

Despite Alexander's efforts to comfort his friend, Mishka isn't the same person that he'd last seen over a decade earlier.

It's clear that Mishka has been forever changed by this experience. Despite Alexander's efforts to comfort his friend, Mishka isn't the same person that he'd last seen over a decade earlier. At the end of the episode, Mishka leaves the hotel without telling Alexander and instead bids farewell to Sofia. Speaking to Alexander, Sofia told her father that Mishka claimed it " Didn't matter " where he went. As such, it's unclear if Mishka had a destination in mind.

6 Sofia's Musical Talents Are Taking Her Out Of The Country

The hard work of alexander's daughter has paid off.

In the previous episode, Sofia had started to learn how to play the piano, and she turned out to be something of a natural. By the time of "As Assembly," the six-year gap has afforded her ample time to hone her craft even more. Early in A Gentleman in Moscow episode 7, it's revealed that Sofia will be headed on tour - playing in cities such as Paris, Prague, and Minsk. Due to Alexander's incarceration, this will be a huge milestone that he will unfortunately miss. The disappointment and sadness is easy to read on the face of Ewan McGregor's character.

Sofia arrived at the Metropol at a very young age , and while she is fully aware that Alexander is not her biological father, she still calls him " Papa ," with the pair having a relationship indistinguishable from that of a more traditional father and daughter. If the finale of A Gentleman in Moscow features another time jump, it could be that Sofia has a reduced role due to her absence - if she appears at all.

5 A Gentleman In Most Episode 7 Finally Shows The Poem That Spared Alexander's Life

"where is our purpose now" was written by mishka.

Mishka's poem was mentioned as far back as A Gentleman in Moscow episode 1 , "A Master of Circumstance." Although the poem was actually penned by Mishka, it was attributed to Alexander, as he was less likely to suffer any political backlash that could occur. It was labeled a " Call to revolutionary action " at Alexander's trial in the show's opening episode, and as such, McGregor's character was spared the death penalty that saw the end of so many of his other social peers.

There is an artistic connection between the Metropol and Alexander in A Gentleman in Moscow that could foreshadow the Russian count's fate.

The original version of the poem is Mishka's parting gift to Alexander , along with a photo of the two friends together during their university days. The piece's title - "Where Is Our Purpose Now?" - is poetically reflective of Mishka's situation in "An Assembly." After falling victim to the regime that he so heavily bought into, Mishka is left without direction, and more fittingly, without purpose.

4 Leplevsky May Have Been Involved In The Death Of Sofia's Parents

The metropol's manager has long been a gentleman in moscow's biggest villain.

It's been clear from the start that Leplevsky dislikes Alexander, going back to when the hotel's manager was just a waiter in the Metropol's restaurant. However, it would seem the same distaste also extends to Sofia and possibly her birth parents. Leplevsky knew Nina when she was very small , and so has watched both mother and daughter grow up within the walls of the Metropol - but the process doesn't seem to have softened him in the slightest.

While claiming to Sofia that he tried to "help" Nina during her younger years, Leplevsky also goes on to say that due to Nina's, " Corrupt nature and moral bankruptcy meant it was inevitable that she would rebel ."

While claiming to Sofia that he tried to "help" Nina during her younger years, Leplevsky also goes on to say that due to Nina's, " Corrupt nature and moral bankruptcy meant it was inevitable that she would rebel ." He also knows a little too much about why Nina and her husband were sent to a " Camp that they never came back from " due to their " Anti-Soviet corruption ." The implication is that Leplevsky was at least indirectly involved in what happened to Nina and her husband, with Sofia seemingly agreeing when she later tells Anna that " He killed my parents ."

3 Anna Urbanova Finally Admits She Loves Alexander Rostov

Anna meets alexander in the show's second episode.

Alexander and Anna's relationship hasn't exactly been conventional, but it's been relatively steady considering Alexander's restrictive circumstances. The pair entered what appeared to be a committed relationship in A Gentleman in Moscow episode 6, as Anna declared she would move permanently into the Metropol Hotel. So, even though six years have passed since the couple's milestone, neither of them has said the L-word to the other in that time. Thankfully, Anna is the one who breaks the deadlock in "An Arrival."

Alexander's shocked response is evidence that it's the first time either character has expressed their love for the other, and Anna's willingness to weather the risks is proof of how deeply that love runs.

When Alexander is trying to end the relationship in his signature guarded fashion due to his upcoming acts of espionage, he tells Anna he doesn't want her to be involved. Anna's reply is concise: " You fool. I am involved. I've been involved for thirty years, I love you. " Alexander's shocked response is evidence that it's the first time either character has expressed their love for the other, and Anna's willingness to weather the risks is proof of how deeply that love runs.

2 Alexander Sacrifices His Morals For The Good Of His Daughter

Mcgregor's character becomes a spy in "an assembly".

Alexander has engaged in subtle acts of espionage before , but spying on his country's leadership is by far the riskiest thing he's ever done. The fact he's willing to risk being caught listening in on the Soviet Union's top brass proves the sacrifice he's willing to make so that Sofia can have a better future. The coming change in leadership means a shift in how the Soviet Union operates, which could impact Sofia's coming time abroad.

Despite how his country has treated him, Alexander is still a staunch patriot , which makes what he does in "An Assemble" a big deal. He is essentially sharing state secrets with the enemy by informing his American companion of whom the country's next leader will be. Things may not change as far as Alexander's day-to-day life is concerned, but the impact could affect the rest of the nation's citizens.

1 Osip Glebnikov Is Concerned About The Country's Political Shift

Alexander and osip have developed an uneasy alliance through the decades.

Osip Glebnikov has been one of the few constant figures in Alexander Rostov's life since the beginning of A Gentleman in Moscow . Although Osip has essentially been Alexander's prison guard, the pair have managed to carve out something approaching a friendship from the situation. Osip has benefited from Alexander's lessons on etiquette, and without doing Osip that favor, it's unlikely Alexander would have received so much assistance when trying to sneak back into the hotel after taking Sofia to the hospital in A Gentleman in Moscow episode 6. However, Alexander will have to do without Osip's companionship going forward .

Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of Ewan McGregor's most famous characters, so it makes the connection to one of his new castmates hard to ignore.

As a result of his foray into the world of espionage, Alexander discovers that Nikita Khrushchev will be the man to succeed Joseph Stalin as the country's leader. Earlier in the episode, Osip reveals what will happen to him as a result of such a decision: " My immediate superiors have already been excised. If Khrushchev takes control, everyone associated with the old order will meet the same fate. " Osip has long been a follower of how the Soviet Union operates, and so Khrushchev taking the reins would seem to be the end of Osip's safety in A Gentleman in Moscow .

A Gentleman in Moscow

Based on the novel by Amor Towles, A Gentleman in Moscow is a historical dramatic-thriller created by Ben Vanstone for Paramount+ and Showtime. Following the advent of the Russian Revolution, Count Alexander Ilyich Rostov is forced to spend several decades locked away in a hotel room and watch as the country around him transforms.

Stormy Daniels wraps up testimony in Trump hush money trial

By CNN's Kara Scannell, Lauren Del Valle and Jeremy Herb in the courthouse

Necheles presses Daniels on why she appeared on "The Surreal Life" reality show

Trump attorney Susan Necheles is asking Stormy Daniels about her appearance on reality show "The Surreal Life."

Necheles asked her to confirm that the story she wanted to share was that she "supposedly" had sex with Donald Trump.

"It was the full story about my life and what I went through because of this," Daniels answers.

Trump has eyes closed for much of this testimony

Donald Trump has been leaning back in his chair, closing his eyes for much of the testimony so far.

Trump attorney asks details about Daniels' tour

Trump attorney Susan Necheles is asking Stormy Daniels about the advertising for the tour, specifically with a photo of Daniels and Trump from the golf course meeting.

Daniels raised her voice, "False, I have no control over how the club advertises."

The club flyer using the widespread photo of Daniels and Trump at the Lake Tahoe golf tournament advertised: "He saw her live. You can too!"

Necheles follows up and asks whether she was selling herself on her tour to people who hated Trump. "I was not selling myself to anyone. I was preforming at clubs and whoever wanted to pay admission," Daniels responds.

"The client at the clubs absolutely changed," Daniels says, but again argues she was not selling herself and "just did the same job I always did."

She testifies, "I never reposted anything that had this photo" and "I never used that tag line I hated it."

Daniels says she fought "tooth and nail" against tour name that was play on Trump’s campaign slogan

Trump attorney Susan Necheles is continuing to drill down on how Stormy Daniels "capitalized" on the moment after coming forward with her story.

"You capitalized by doing a strip club tour, called 'Make America Horny Again," Necheles says. The name is a play on Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America Great Again."

Daniels says she fought against the name: "I did not name that tour, and I fought it tooth and nail," she says.

Trump attorney pushes Daniels on how much she benefited from going public with her story

Trump's attorney is continuing to ask Stormy Daniels questions about how much she benefited from going public with her story.

Attorney Susan Necheles asks Daniels to confirm whether after she gave a 60 Minutes interview for free, she got lots of publicity.

Daniels affirms, though she said it was "bad publicity."

"A ton of publicity," Necheles reiterates.

"Yes," Daniels replies.

Necheles continues, asking whether Daniels was able to negotiate a book contract for $800,000, which Daniels confirms.

Daniels also acknowledges that her then-lawyer Michael Avenatti arranged her appearances on CNN and The View, but says "he took everything else for himself."

"Now you have been paid almost $930,000, almost a million dollars for selling this story?" Necheles asks.

Daniels says she never wanted to publicly announce she had sex with Trump

Trump attorney Susan Necheles is now asking Stormy Daniels if she eventually wanted to publicly announce she had sex with Trump.

"You wanted to make more money, right?" Necheles asks. "No, that’s why I did 60 Minutes for free," Daniels responds.

Trump lawyer questions Daniels about second statement denying relationship

On January 30, 2018, Stormy Daniels put out a second statement denying the sexual relationship with Donald Trump again.

"I didn't release it," Daniels says on the stand but acknowledges she signed it. This is the statement that Daniels says she signed her "Stormy Daniels" signature different than any other time previously.

"You understood in 2018 that President Trump was denying this relationship? And he wanted you to deny it as well?" Trump attorney Susan Necheles asks. Daniels says was pushed to sign the statement by Michael Cohen via Keith Davidson, adding, "I never spoke to Michael Cohen directly."

"(Trump) was not running for election at that point, right?" Necheles asks, noting there was no election in 2018. "He was already president, right? He was concerned about his family, right?"

"You understand that President Trump had a brand?" Necheles asks.

Laughing, Daniels says, "Brand? Yes."

Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger objected. The judge allowed Daniels to answer.

Daniels on denying "rumors" of Trump encounter: "It wasn't a rumor, it was the truth"

Trump attorney Susan Necheles is reading a January 2018 statement from Stormy Daniels denying a sexual encounter with Trump.

Necheles reads, "Rumors that I had received hush money from Donald Trump are completely false."

Daniels replies, "Correct, because it wasn’t a rumor, it was the truth."

24 hours with ‘RHONY’ alum Kelly Bensimon: Stem cell facials, smoothies and a luxe $13M real estate tour

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

She’s a staple in the Bravo world for her unforgettable tenure on “The Real Housewives of New York City,” but Kelly Bensimon often finds herself in Los Angeles as her real estate career continues to flourish on the West Coast. 

Such was the case last month when the Manhattanite, 56, touched down in the City of Angels to give Page Six an exclusive tour of her $13.4 million listing in Malibu. 

But before walking us through the expansive, James Bond-esque property, Bensimon wanted to show us how she spends a day in LA. 

From catching up over coffee at her favorite hotel to luxurious facials from her go-to stem cell specialist to sipping trendy smoothies, the model-turned-mogul gave us an inside look at life in the fab lane. 

“I’m so excited for your to see my LA,” Bensimon tells Page Six as the day kicks off. “Let’s go!”

Chic stay 

Sunset Marquis, 1200 Alta Loma Rd., West Hollywood, Calif., 20069

Bensimon always likes to stay at the iconic Sunset Marquis Hotel, which became a favorite of hers during the height of her modeling career in the ‘80s and ‘90s. 

“I used to run into Bono from U2 and Elton John! This really was the place to be. And it still is! It’s very nostalgic, but feels chic and new at the same time,” she says over coffee in one of the hotel’s many lush outdoor spaces. 

“I’ve always stayed here.”

The reality star says she spent a few nights at the Sunset Marquis during Oscars weekend in March, during which she felt particularly glamorous. “I was walking down the stairs in my long red dress and I was like, ‘This reminds me of when I was younger,’” she says. “And it was fun!”

Benismon notes she feels like a “different person” in LA versus New York City. 

“Listen, I love New York and I’ve lived there for so many years. I raised my girls there,” she says. “But just the quality of life is different and people are just friendly.”

When she’s in town, Bensimon loves catching up with her good pal and “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Sutton Stracke. 

“I’m really good friends with Sutton. I love Sutton so much. I love her because she is genuinely interested and a great mom and a really good friend,” she shares, adding that she “just met Kyle [Richards]” this year, too. 

Asked if she’d ever consider moving to LA for a role on “RHOBH,” Bensimon played coy. “Anything could happen!” she says with a laugh. “Who knows?”

Fabulous facials 

Nathan Newman, M.D., 9301 Wilshire Blvd #303, Beverly Hills, Calif., 90120

Bensimon says her “first stop” in LA is always the Beverly Hills office of plastic surgeon Dr. Nathan Newman — a pioneer in stem cell therapy — who is renowned for his stem cell facials. 

“These stem [cell] facials are unbelievable. I’m serious, my skin has never looked better,” she says. “The stem really hydrates my skin and is removing some of the wrinkles, not all of them.” 

Bensimon loves that the procedure hydrates her face, rather than freezing it like other noninvasive cosmetic procedures. “I’m like, ‘Listen, I spent a long time smiling. Do not take away those memories,’” she says, giving fine lines and wrinkles a sweet rebrand. 

After being introduced to Dr. Newman, he told me to get ready for a “facial like [I’ve] never had before” — and he was right. It was transformative. 

The relaxing, hourlong treatment — which uses his plant-based stem cell serums — gave my skin an instant refresh and dewy glow. 

Bensimon says she relies on Dr. Nathan whenever she finds herself in an epidermal crisis. 

“My first [stem cell facial] was literally right after BravoCon [2023],” she recalls. “I was exhausted and so I came to Dr. Nathan Newman and I was like, ‘I am so haggard. I’m feeling like not myself, I’m feeling like totally someone else.’ And I had the facial and I’m telling you, I was just like, ‘Woah.’” 

Trendy treats 

Erewhon, 339 N. Beverly Dr., Beverly Hills, Calif., 90210

As Angelenos are well aware, Erewhon is the grocery store to the stars — including Bensimon — so we made a visit to the Beverly Hills outpost. 

“I started going to Erewhon because my oldest daughter [Sea Louise] was like, ‘You have got to try these smoothies, they are over the top,’” she says of the 26-year-old’s assessment of the Erewhon’s tentpole creations. 

Celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Winnie Harlow, Sofia Richie, Molly Simms and Dr. Paul Nassif have signature smoothies on the menu, but Bensimon prefers to procure her own blend. 

For the both of us, she ordered smoothies packed with greens, greek yogurt and cayenne pepper that she raved would “jumpstart our metabolisms” as swimsuit season approaches. 

Yes, please!

‘Real Housewife’ of real estate 

21056 Las Flores Mesa Dr., Malibu, Calif., 90265

Bensimon — a broker with Douglas Elliman who has sold hundreds of millions of dollars in real estate since obtaining her license as an agent in 2019 — was particularly thrilled to explore her seaside listing at 21056 Las Flores Mesa Dr. with Page Six in tow. 

“I just feel like this is a beautiful, beautiful property. It has heritage, it’s in Malibu, Calif., it’s one of a kind,” she says of the 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom manse designed by celebrated architect Harry Gesner and built in 1997. 

“He’s known for the wood and also the brick. He loves that juxtaposition. It’s very ‘007’, very cinematic,” she elaborates, acknowledging that the owners’ interior design choices were inspired by their love of the “James Bond” films. 

Bensimon also points out the “stunning views” of the Pacific Ocean visible through the home’s cathedral-like windows, from the pool and even from a furnished airstream located in the backyard. 

“For me, real estate just resonates so much because I love art and architecture so much,” she tells Page Six. “My favorite part of the job outside of the aesthetic is making sure that my clients have what they need and what they want. That is very rewarding.”
