‘Game Of Thrones’ Preview: Behold ‘Blackwater’

Posted on May 19, 2012 by

If you’re a fan of “Game of Thrones,” the photo you see below should make you very, very happy. Your mind isn’t playing tricks on you: that is indeed Jerome Flynn as the sellsword Bronn, taking aim with a fire-tipped arrow at an unseen enemy with Blackwater Bay at his back. That’s right: the Battle of Blackwater is on!

It’s the first official photo from “Blackwater,” the highly awaited episode of “Game of Thrones” season two that finally, finally, thrusts viewers into the thick of an all-out battle (as in on screen, no getting-knocked-out-and-skipping-the-fight trickery) between Joffrey’s allies in King’s Landing and the forces of Stannis Baratheon. “A Song of Ice and Fire” mastermind George R.R. Martin wrote the episode, only adding to the list of reasons why fans are losing their minds in anticipation of the hour.

Before we get to “Blackwater,” we’ll have to encounter “The Prince of Winterfell” in this Sunday night’s episode — but whether we’re talking about Prince Bran or “Prince” Theon is a matter of some debate. We’ll certainly be tuning in either way. Here’s a look at Tyrion and Varys from that episode.

Tell us what you think of the new “Game of Thrones” photos in the comments section and on Twitter!

Kourtney Kardashian: Pregnant! And Betrayed! Twice!

Posted on May 19, 2012 by

Well, at least she’s no longer pregnant and abandoned.

However, according to a pair of tabloid cover stories this week, Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant… and betrayed! It’s a darn shame, isn’t it?

Naturally, Kris Jenner has already spoken out against rumors that Kourtney kicked out baby daddy Scott Disick and that E! cameras caught the blowup for an upcoming Keeping Up with the Kardashians episode.

“None of it is true,” Kris tells E! News of talk that Disick is actually hiding sex tapes from his girlfriend and skipped out on her baby shower May 12 because the couple was fighting.

One thing is for certain: we’ll be hearing a lot more about this when season seven of this scripted series premieres on Sunday. Another thing is also for certain: if you care one iota, you need to take a very long look in the mirror.

‘Hyde Park On Hudson’ Trailer: Bill Murray Becomes FDR

Posted on May 19, 2012 by

When you think of a king of England and a president of the United States your mind rarely travels to outdoor barbeques and jumping in pools, but that’s just what goes on in the “Hyde Park on Hudson” trailer—and Bill Murray lights up portraying Franklin D. Roosevelt.

While the film is based around real events, we’re not sure how historically accurate the movie will turn out, but watching Murray take on the charm and gentle mannerisms of America’s 32nd President is a jolly ol’ delight.

Check out the first trailer below, and learn more about “Hyde Park on Hudson” after the jump!

Before 1939, no reigning king of England had ever visited America. But that summer FDR and his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams) host the royals at their home in Hyde Park on Hudson, an estate in upstate New York. As war with Germany looms in the distance for Great Britain, the King is hoping the holiday will lead to the President’s support. But the weekend gets a little out of hand as his loved ones conspire to make it a memorable one.

The visit is narrated by Franklin’s distant cousin and cherished friend Daisy, played by Laura Linney. Through her eyes, the audience learns more than the toils of diplomacy and gets to the heart of love and friendship.

“Hyde Park on Hudson” opens in theaters on December 7.

Will Smith Shoves Mouthy Reporter in Moscow

Posted on May 19, 2012 by

He didn’t drop any condoms on the red carpet, but Will Smith experienced his own unusual situation during a movie premiere press line this week.

The actor was in Moscow on behalf of Men in Black III when a reporter from the Ukraine embraced the star with a hug… and then tried to follow that up with a kiss on the lips.

“He’s lucky I didn’t sucker punch him,” Smith is heard telling someone else soon afterward, though he responds very well from the saliva-based attack and is quickly seen below laughing about it.

It’s hard to blame Smith for his initial, surprised reaction, though, isn’t it? Watch it all unfold now:

Hola, Mami!

On-the-go mom Charlize Theron keeps son Jackson close while out and about in Madrid, Spain on Thursday.

The actress — who is currently doing press rounds to promote her latest flick, Snow White and the Huntsman — later ditched her chic mommy duds for a hip-hugging red number while posing for photos alongside costar Kristen Stewart.

Theron, 36, and her globetrotting 6-month-old were spotted kicking off their European travels with their arrival in Paris last week.

Peter Berg Explains The Reference To ‘Battleship’s’ Famous Line

Posted on May 19, 2012 by

Spoiler alert: No one says “you sunk my battleship” in “Battleship.” But director Peter Berg has a very good explanation for that. No one said it in the movie because the Regents didn’t sink the Navy’s battleships.

But before you get all up in arms about the omission, there is an homage to the famous admission of defeat from the Battleship pencil and paper game in the feature film. Fans just might miss it during their first go around.

“We have a version of it though. There was a reference to the line,” Berg promised in a recent interview with MTV News.

According to Berg, the reference is something along the lines of, “Ain’t gonna sink this battleship, no way.” When asked why he didn’t just say the classic line anyways, he said, “They don’t sink our battleship. Sorry.”

That’s not to say that there never was a version of the script where “you sunk my battleship” was said. It just didn’t end up working in the final cut of the film.

“We played around. I mean, we’ve said the line, we didn’t say the line, and then I sort of had this idea that maybe we should come up with a different way of respecting the line but, you know what, they didn’t sink the battleship,” Berg said. “There are a lot of ways you could have done it. We chose our way.”

Obama Divorce Story: New Book Claims Michelle Nearly Left Barack in 2000

Posted on May 18, 2012 by

The controversial new biography of President Barack Obama claims that his wife, Michelle Obama, planned to leave the future president in 2000.

Is the divorce story real? Is anything in the book?

The unauthorized biography, which Klein claims is based on nearly 200 interviews, has been dismissed by presidential spokesperson Eric Schultz.

“Ed Klein has a proven history of reckless fabrication in order to sell books,” he said. “Nobody in their right mind would believe the nonsense in this one.”

Nevertheless, the Obama divorce story is the latest revelation in the book – which also discusses his ex Genevieve Cook – to generate major buzz.

In The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, out this week, Klein claims the divorce nearly happened eight years into the Obamas’ marriage.

After Obama failed to listen to his wife’s warnings in challenging Bobby Rush for his U.S. House seat in 2000 and got creamed, their relationship cooled.

“During the dark days that followed his defeat, he turned to Michelle for comfort. But she was in no mood for sympathy,” Klein reportedly writes.

“He had refused to listen to her warnings about taking on Rush.”

The primary left them in debt and Barack depressed, Klein claims. “Michelle actually had divorce papers drawn up,” he writes, citing one of her friends.

“Obama was so depressed that some of his friends worried that he was suicidal,” the book adds, without elaboration on that particular point.

Obama, of course, was still in the Illinois State Senate, and went on to win a U.S. Senate seat in 2004 that helped establish his national credentials.

But Michelle almost vetoed the Senate race, too.

Northwestern University professor Steven Rogers told Klein that Obama talked about his ambition after they met at a golf fund-raiser.

“My wife will not allow me to run for the Senate until I clear up the debts from my unsuccessful run for Congress,” Obama said, according to Rogers.

Todd Oldham Debuts Kid Made Modern Collection for Target

Posted on May 18, 2012 by

When Todd Oldham‘s Kid Made Modern hit the market in 2009, the public’s response — from the kids to the parents! — was astounding, to say the least.

And with the arts and crafts book filled with fun do-it-yourself projects that were perfect for the whole family, Oldham’s next endeavor couldn’t have been more obvious.

“The next step was to find a partner to make actual art supplies,” he tells PEOPLE.

Fortunately, Target was the answer Oldham had been looking for; The company agreed to the launch of the Kid Made Modern collection, which includes an array of 48 different affordable (everything is under $ 20!) art supplies and kits.

“My main inspiration for the Kid Made Modern collection is to celebrate the joy of creativity through art and craft,” Oldham says

So just how creative did the designer get with his masterpieces? “One crayon has 64 colors within it and because it’s faceted on the sides, you have all these bright color-defined edges you can draw across the paper,” he explains.

Plus, as if that weren’t enough, all of the jewelry making kits are packaged in super cool lunch boxes that can be used even after the project has been completed.

The collection will be available on May 20, both in stores and on Target.com.
