  • Amanda Peet Thought Husband David Benioff’s Show, ‘Game of Thrones,’ Was a ‘Terrible, Silly Idea’

    Amanda Peet didn’t think husband David Benioff’s idea to co-create Game of Thrones was such a great idea for a television show.

    Amanda Peet‘s husband proved her wrong with his highly successful HBO series.

    During an appearance on the Late, Late Show With Conan O’Brien, the 43-year-old actress conceded to the funny host that initially she thought the idea was not all that great.

    “Yes, I thought it was a terrible idea. Terrible! Just silly. Like Dungeons & Dragons, but real, with real people,” she told Conan, which was greeted by boos from the audience.

    “Now I’m obsessed!” Amanda Peet reassured the perplexed and angry audience.

    Game of Thrones, which premiered in 2011, is based on a series of book by George R.R. Martin, A Song of Ice and Fire . The show, which is an obsession for so many fans, will return for a fifth season in April.

    Amanda Peet, who plays Jordan McDeere on NBC dramedy Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Laura Hellinger on CBS drama The Good Wife, also starred alongside Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson in Somethings Gotta Give.

    Amanda Peet most recently made headlines after BFF Sarah Paulson grabbed her butt at the 2015 SAG Awards Sunday.

  • Woody Allen Tribute: Farrows Take To Twitter

    Woody Allen was given the Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award at Sunday night’s Golden Globes, but because he’s not a fan of awards shows, he had longtime friend and collaborator Diane Keaton accept on his behalf. After a somewhat strange speech, Keaton ended with a rendition of “Make New Friends” that had many wondering if she was inebriated during the festivities.

    But the speech wasn’t what had Allen’s estranged son Ronan Farrow so upset; both he and Allen’s ex, Mia Farrow, took to Twitter to let the world know they were unhappy with the award.

    “Missed the Woody Allen tribute – did they put the part where a woman publicly confirmed he molested her at age 7 before or after Annie Hall?” Ronan wrote.

    Mia was a little more subtle, tweeting right when the tribute began, “Time to grab some icecream & switch over to #GIRLS”.

    According to a Vanity Fair article on Farrow and her children, daughter Dylan opened up about the sexual abuse perpetrated by Allen and says she has memories of feeling like a bad child because she tried to tell him no.

    “According to Dylan, “There’s a lot I don’t remember, but what happened in the attic I remember. I remember what I was wearing and what I wasn’t wearing.” She tells Orth, “The things making me uncomfortable were making me think I was a bad kid, because I didn’t want to do what my elder told me to do.” The attic, she says, pushed her over the edge. “I was cracking. I had to say something. I was seven. I was doing it because I was scared. I wanted it to stop.” For all she knew, she tells Orth, “this was how fathers treated their daughters. This was normal interaction, and I was not normal for feeling uncomfortable about it.” Woody Allen’s lawyer Elkan Abramowitz says that Allen still denies the allegations of sexual abuse.”

    Mia Farrow later tweeted more about the accusations against Allen:
