Mariana Ximenes returns to prime time on TV Globo, after 14 years, as a new villain! The actress plays Isis, in "Mania de Você", which premieres this Monday (9), at 9pm. The character grew up in a community close to a luxury condominium and saw her life take a huge turn after marrying Henrique (Antonio Saboia), heir to a bank.
The couple had Tomás (Miguel Bottini/Paulo Mendes), who has a difficult relationship with his mother. She is still Guga’s (Allan Souza Lima) lover. The artist is excited about her new role.
"I like complex characters, which have many layers, because there is never a sovereign character without mistakes. She makes mistakes, she is deceived too, so this game is enjoyable", highlights Mariana, who gave life to the con artist Gilda in "Amor Perfeito" (2013). The actress recognizes that, despite the evils, her characters have nuances and are human. "My character is now a villain who ends up falling for a scam, but that's very interesting too", she believes.
About the difference between playing girls and villains, Mariana assesses: "It's good to play a girl, like in 'Chocolate com Pimenta', which was a milestone in my career, but it's great to explore villains too. When we try different things in life, it's like opening drawers." She also emphasizes that she likes roles that challenge her real characteristics. "I look like a girl in real life, but I love playing a villain. I like playing evil", she jokes.
This is the third professional partnership between Ximenes and author João Emanuel Carneiro, famous for his plots full of twists and turns. The two have already worked together in "A Favorita" (2008), in which the actress played Lara, and "Cobras & Lagartos" (2006), as Maria Isabel Gonçalves Pasquim, known as Bel. "We're friends and I'm ready for what should be," she snaps.
'I feel fulfilled'
With a 26-year career, Mariana starred in soap operas such as "Fascinação" (1998), "Andando nas Nuvens" (1999 ), "Force of a Desire" (2000), "The Patroness" (2001), "The House of Seven Women" (2003), "America" (2005), "Passione" (2010), "Rare Jewel" ( 2013), "Haja Coração" (2016) and "Nos Tempos do Imperador" (2021), as well as plays and countless films.
She shares her satisfaction with her professional career and the choices she made over the years. "It's a very good moment in my career. I feel fulfilled to be working with great professionals and exploring such rich characters", he emphasizes.
A new lifestyle
At 43 years old, Ximenes also comments on the changes in his body after adopting a new routine and losing 6 kg. "Now I've made it a priority to exercise, whether outdoors or at the gym. I prefer outdoors, but I'm managing to fit it into my schedule however I can", says the actress, who takes advantage of the time between recordings to meditate and maintain her focus. "I'm healthier, and that's the most important thing. It wasn't just a question of aesthetics, but of well-being", she adds.
Regarding her plan to become a mother, Mariana states that she remains firm and strong. "I really want to, motherhood is part of my plans, I froze my eggs and at the right time it will happen."

Living a special moment on and off the field, Arrascaeta received great news in his personal life : Flamengo's number 10 will be a father for the first time . This Monday (1st), the star revealed that his wife Camila Bastiani is pregnant with a boy.
On social media, the couple posted the news with the caption: "We're waiting for you, son," accompanied by a blue heart, symbolizing the baby's gender . The pregnancy had already been announced on June 30, indicating that the Flamengo midfielder's son is at least three months old.
The arrival of his first child comes during one of the most memorable years of Arrascaeta's career. By 2025, the Uruguayan has 17 goals and 13 assists in 42 games, figures that put him close to equaling his career-best scoring record for Flamengo , set in 2019 with 18 goals. In terms of assists, his goal is to surpass the 19 he recorded in both 2019 and 2022.
Last Sunday (31), against Grêmio, the number 10 shone again. After exchanging passes with Pedro, he gave a subtle touch, almost like a "snooker shot", leaving no chance for goalkeeper Tiago Volpi . Despite the beauty of the goal, the afternoon ended in a draw, as the opposing goalkeeper himself converted the penalty that decreed the 1-1 draw at Maracanã.
Now, Arrascaeta focuses on defending the Uruguayan National Team in the World Cup Qualifiers . The next commitment will be on Thursday (4), against Peru, at the Centenario Stadium, in Montevideo. Next, on September 9, Uruguay faces Chile, in Santiago.
In a comfortable position in the standings, La Celeste needs just one point out of a possible six to mathematically confirm its place in the World Cup. So far, Argentina, Ecuador, and Brazil have already secured their place , while Chile is the only team with no chance of qualifying.

Flamengo defender Léo Pereira spoke out this Thursday (28) after news reports circulated that alleged a delay in the payment of child support for his two children with his ex-wife, Tainá Castro. In an official statement signed by his lawyers, the player categorically denied any outstanding payments and criticized the dissemination of false information.
According to the Leo Dias website, the athlete was reportedly notified by a court official due to his default, in addition to appearing at a hearing for family matters. Léo Pereira, however, denied the first part of the information, confirming only that the hearing took place, the content of which cannot be revealed, as the proceedings are under judicial secrecy.
In their public statement, the defender's legal representatives were firm in stating that the athlete has never failed to fulfill his responsibilities to his children, Matteo and Helena. " The athlete Léo Pereira participated in a family court hearing today. As the proceedings are confidential, further details cannot be released. In light of the false reports published, the athlete reiterates that he is up to date with all his obligations to his children and has never defaulted on their child support payments," the statement reads.
The lawyers also emphasized that all obligations are documented and proven in court. "All payments have been duly made and proven in court. The information disclosed is not true. The athlete reaffirms his commitment to transparency and warns that any false publication that affects his honor or that of his family will be subject to appropriate legal action," the statement added.
While dealing with legal issues, Léo Pereira continues to work normally with the Flamengo squad. The next challenge will be against Grêmio, on Sunday (31), at 4 pm (Brasília time), at Maracanã, for the 23rd round of the Brazilian Championship. The defender should be available to the coaching staff for the match.
Iconic singer of Rio music and supporter of Mais Querido, master of partido-alto and founder of Cacique de Ramos, passed away this Friday

Samba lost one of its greatest references this Friday (8): Arlindo Cruz passed away at the age of 66 in Rio de Janeiro. Recognized for his vast work with 795 registered compositions, the samba singer marked generations with hits such as “Saudade Louca” and “Boto Meu Povo na Rua” . Born in Madureira, the birthplace of Rio samba, Arlindo was also a passionate Flamengo fan.
His retirement from the stage occurred after suffering a stroke in 2017, which impacted his career and health. Family members confirmed his death, without disclosing the official cause, but emphasized the artist's cultural legacy and his love for soccer, especially for the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved). The wake will be open to the Rio de Janeiro community.
The son of Arlindão, who had meetings with samba artists like Candeia at home, Arlindo Cruz immersed himself in the musical world from an early age. At 17, he began his professional career as a cavaquinho player on Candeia's 1975 album "Roda de Samba." Over time, he became known for his mastery of the banjo, an instrument he helped popularize in samba and which became his trademark.
A central figure in the founding of the Cacique de Ramos samba circle, the musician rubbed shoulders with greats such as Zeca Pagodinho and Jorge Aragão. With Fundo de Quintal, a legendary samba group, he recorded 10 albums that helped cement the genre . From the 1990s onward, he developed a solo career with successful albums such as "Arlindinho" (1993) and important collaborations with producer Sombrinha.
Madureira, a neighborhood that forged its cultural and musical identity, was the setting for compositions that celebrated everyday life, street smarts, and the richness of Rio's samba. A strong connection to Flamengo was present in his daily life: Arlindo frequented the Maracanã stadium, participated in club events, and received tributes on special occasions , cementing his status as a Flamengo icon.
