The upcoming remake of the classic Brazilian telenovela 'Vale Tudo' is already generating buzz, and not all of it is positive. Actress Débora Bloch, who will be stepping into the formidable shoes of villain Odete Roitman, recently spoke out against premature criticism of the show.
According to reports, Bloch, sporting a rainbow earring – a sartorial choice that her character would likely disapprove of – arrived early at Sapucaí and was immediately met by a throng of journalists. She questioned how people could be criticizing 'Vale Tudo' when it hasn't even premiered. The show is slated to debut at the end of March.

Meanwhile, news has emerged that Neguinho da Beija-Flor, the iconic voice of the Beija-Flor samba school, is reportedly unwell following the school's victory and is saying goodbye to Sapucaí. We wish him a speedy recovery!
