  • Carice Van Houten: ‘Game Of Thrones’ Star Confirms Pregnancy, Fans Tweet Shadow Baby Jokes

    Carice Van Houten: ‘Game Of Thrones’ Star Confirms Pregnancy, Fans Tweet Shadow Baby Jokes

    Game of Thrones star Carice Van Houten is going to be a mother soon! Van Houten is expecting her first child with partner, Guy Pearce.

    “Carice and Guy are thrilled to be expecting their first child,” Van Houten’s rep said in a statement this weekend. Van Houten, 39, also confirmed the news on social media joking that she is also expecting “shadow baby” jokes from Game of Thrones fans.

    “Yes. It’s true. Let the shadow baby jokes begin,” the actress captioned a split-screen photo of herself and the Aussie actor with a baby emoji.

    Yes. It’s true. ?? Let the shadow baby jokes begin.

    On Twitter, Carice Van Houten told her fans she is ready for their “shadow baby” jokes and soon after, the actress received tons of funny tweets.


    The joke is a reference to Van Houten’s Game of Thrones character Melisandre, a priestess who gave birth to a “shadow” demon who killed many people in the latest season of the hit fantasy series.

    This will be Carice Van Houten and Pearce’s first child together. The couple has not officially confirmed their relationship, but they have been seen on numerous occasions together.

    Pearce and his wife of 18 years, Kate Mestitz, broke up in October 2015. “Kate and I will always love and support one another and be the best of friends. No-one knows me like Kate does, and we’ll forever be appreciative of our mutual respect. We’ve both grown enormously through our relationship, but sadly, the time has come to part ways,” Pearce said in a statement back in January.

    The former couple did not have any children, with the actor saying that it was both their decision. “We both know kids aren’t for us. She’s never wanted kids and I’ve never wanted kids,” he reportedly said in 2012.

    Carice Van Houten of ‘Game of Thrones’ and Guy Pearce Expecting Their First Child

    Carice van Houten of Game of Thrones and her love, Guy Pearce, are expecting their first child together!

    According to People magazine, the 39-year-old actress and the 48-year-old Memento star, confirmed the happy news on Saturday.

    Van Houten, who plays the priestess Melisandre — you know, the one who was pregnant in season two in 2012 and that rather freakish childbirth scene — also tweeted the happy news on Saturday.

    “Ok. I’m ready for your shadowbaby jokes,” Carice tweeted Saturday.

    Carice, who originates from The Netherlands, and Pearce, have never confirmed a relationship, but rumors began earlier this year when they were spotted looking like more than friends while out and about together in Los Angeles.

    The future parents filmed the movie Brimstone together last year, which also stars Game of Thrones stars Emilia Jones and Kit Harington, along with Dakota Fanning.

    Pearce currently stars in Australian TV series Jack Irish. He is also slated to portray Scott Fitzgerald in the upcoming film, Genius, set for release in July.

    The impending birth of Van Housten and Pearce comes more than a year after he and wife Kate Mestitz divorced after 18 years of marriage. He confirmed the breakup last October when he tweeted, “Sorry 2 be boring but we couldn’t be closer. We’ll love each other 4 ever xx.”

    The actress returns to HBO in her role on Game of Thrones season six, which premieres on April 24.

  • Sophie Turner Drops “Game of Thrones” Spoiler

    Sophie Turner let the cat out of the Game of Thrones bag on Sunday night on the Oscars red carpet.

    It seems Sophie Turner was fine with letting everyone know…Sansa Stark survives season six.

    Say that five time fast! But not in front of Game of Thrones fans who haven’t heard the news yet. You might get punched.

    Sophie Turner said she found out Sansa’s fate while flipping through season six’s script.

    She said, “Flicking through I’m like death, death, death — OK I’m good for this season.”

    That’s not the only time that Sophie Turner has spoken about season six of Game of Thrones.

    At the SAG Awards, she disclosed, “I mean this season is a really, really big one for Sansa. It’s probably her best season yet. It’s her really coming into her own.”

    She added, “She, this season, really commands the respect that she deserves and she grabs hold of it and she runs with it and it’s really good.”

    Well, apparently she runs all the way to season seven with it.

    Sophie Turner also said that in season six fans are “finally getting that storyline that you’ve been craving for the past five seasons.”

    She added, “It was amazing because the past five seasons, it feels like it’s been building up and up to that. You can only suffer so much before she finally gets her, the respect that she deserves.”

    So exciting! While you now already know that she survives, are you excited to see what Sansa will be up to in season six?

  • Emilia Clarke Drops Big Hint About Jon Snow, “Game of Thrones” at Independent Spirit Awards

    Emilia Clarke Drops Big Hint About Jon Snow, “Game of Thrones” at Independent Spirit Awards

    Emilia Clarke seemingly dropped a big hint about the fate of Jon Snow on Game of Thrones at the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday. Snow was brutally murdered on a previous episode.

    Best known for her role as the Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke served as one of the presenters of the Best First Feature Award at the show.

    While on stage with fellow presenter, director Nate Parker, Clarke was badgered a bit about Snow’s fate. When she didn’t give up any information, Parker asked her to “wink if Jon Snow is alive.”

    Right before the cameras cut away, Emilia Clarke winked–leaving Game of Thrones fans wondering what will happen next.

    Jon Snow, the bastard son of Ned Stark, was fatally stabbed by his supposed allies while defending the Wall in the final episode of season five. In the final scene, Snow lay presumably dead in a pool of blood.

    HBO released a new promo poster for the upcoming sixth season of Game of Thrones in recent days. A trailer for season six was released earlier in February.

    Did Emilia Clarke let that proverbial cat out of its bag at the Independent Spirit Awards? Or might the whole thing have been a setup, designed to cause serious speculation about the sixth season of Game of Thrones?

    Did you catch Emilia Clarke’s wink? What’s your take on Jon Snow? Is he dead or is he alive?

  • Lena Headey Was Often Sick to Her Stomach When Filming “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies”

    Lena Headey recalls feeling sick to her stomach frequently while filming Pride and Prejudice, and Zombies. It wasn’t the bloodied extras lying at her feet that made her feel that way, however.

    “I was obviously pregnant with my daughter Ted and I was thinking, she’s in my belly and I’m doing this, it’s quite bizarre,” Lena Headey says in a recent interview with the New York Daily News just ahead of the film’s premiere.

    “It was the early days of my pregnancy and I felt absolutely hideous every day,” she adds. “Maybe all this zombie-killing will be in her DNA someday.”

    That baby girl is now seven months old, and Lena Headey is obviously feeling much better these days, but she’s certain that blood and gore will be in her baby’s genes. That’s because in addition to her role in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Headey also plays the role of Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones. In fact she credits that role for allowing her to stand over corpses and maintain her composure.

    “I’m so f—–g lucky to be able to grow with Cersei,” Lena Headey says. “The fact that they haven’t killed me is a miracle. I guess the moment I’m dead on ‘Thrones,’ you’ll never want to speak to me again.”

    People will surely be speaking to and about Lena Headey for a very long time to come.

    Are you a Game of Thrones fan? Have you checked out Lena Headey yet on the big screen in Pride and Prejudice and Zombies?

    Could you imagine feeling nauseous and filming such blood and gore at the same time? That would push most people to that proverbial edge.

  • Emilia Clarke, Sam Claflin Appear in New “Me Before You” Trailer

    Emilia Clarke, best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, stars alongside Hunger Games star Sam Claflin in the first official trailer for their upcoming film, Me Before You.

    Sam Claflin portrays a wheelchair-bound, seriously disabled man named Will in Me Before You. After failing at working as both a beautician and a chicken factory worker, Emilia Clarke–in her role as Louisa–takes a job as Will’s caregiver.

    Prior to meeting Louisa, Will had had enough of living. He promised his parents, however, that he would give it six more months before he planned to pull his own plug. The two wind up falling in love, with Will saying Emilia Clarke’s character is “pretty much the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning.”

    Emilia Clarke has had an amazing year. In addition to her ongoing Game of Thrones role, she was named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive for 2015–and she landed one of the leads in Me Before You. Clarke’s Game of Thrones fans will no doubt love seeing her in such a completely different role and setting.

    Those fans will have a bit of a wait before seeing Emilia Clarke on the big screen. Me Before You isn’t scheduled to hit theaters until June 3.

    Will it be worth the wait?

  • Sophie Turner Snaps Pic With “Boyfriend”, Ryan Gosling, At SAG Awards

    Sophie Turner may be a huge star on one of the biggest shows ever, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t get starstruck when faced with a handsome actor.

    The Game Of Thrones actress found herself seated near Ryan Gosling at the SAG Awards on Saturday night and took the opportunity to snap a photo of herself with him in the background, saying, “Sorry boys. I’m off the market.”

    Gosling is actually taken, but that won’t stop a girl from dreaming.

    Sophie is enjoying the success her show continues to have after it snagged the award for best stunt team at the ceremony over the weekend. The actress told Entertainment Weekly recently that her character, Sansa Stark, will finally see some good things happen in the upcoming season after several years of hardships. Sansa fans have followed the redheaded beauty through the traumas of losing her family, marrying an insane spoiled king, and being brutally assaulted. Now, however, she’s going to take charge of her life.

    “I mean this season is a really, really big one for Sansa. It’s probably her best season yet. It’s her really coming into her own. She, this season, really commands the respect that she deserves and she grabs hold of it and she runs with it and it’s really good,” Turner said.

    Sorry boys. I'm off the market

    A photo posted by Sophie Turner (@sophiet) on

    Turner says that hers isn’t the only character that will see some big changes in the sixth season, and teases that it’s going to be a huge turn for the show.

    “It was amazing because the past five seasons, it feels like it’s been building up and up to that. You can only suffer so much before she finally gets her, the respect that she deserves. I mean this season there’s like so many shocks, it’s massive. It’s the biggest season yet. And just like in terms of character development, so many people’s storylines, I’m so excited for. I’m so excited to see Alfie’s one this season. It’s going to be good,” Sophie Turner said.

  • Lena Headey Shares “Bachelor” Insults As “Game of Thrones” Character Cersei Lannister

    Lena Headey had a blast as a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night–and his audience had a blast as she thoroughly entertained them.

    Kimmel set a challenge before Headey, and she didn’t for a moment disappoint.

    “One of the great things that you do on Game of Thrones, your character Cersei, you say the meanest things in a very cool way. You insult the others, you actually threaten them,” he explained to Lena Headey. “This happens on The Bachelor, as well, with the women. I thought it would be fun if we put some of the real lines from the show this year in our teleprompter for you to read them in character.”

    Before starting, Lena Headey grabbed a goblet of wine and assumed a domineering pose.

    “I don’t think there’s one girl here who’s competition,” she read, quoting one Bachelor hopeful fighting for Ben Higgins’ heart on season 20 of the ABC show. “I think I’m way prettier than everyone else.”

    “I think her boobs are fake, but it’s OK. Like, you can tell that they’re fake. And her breath is horrible. I wonder if they’ve kissed because I’m sure he smells what I smell,” Lena Headey said, taking on a second insulting line from The Bachelor.

    At this point Game of Thrones fans were no doubt laughing hysterically, as were good natured fans of The Bachelor. Those who take The Bachelor way too seriously were likely a bit miffed by Lena Headey’s fun.

    Did you see Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday night? What did you think of Lena Headey’s reading of insults from The Bachelor in her Games of Thrones character as Cersei Lannister?

  • Lena Headey Reads ‘Bachelor’ Shade as Cersei [VIDEO]

    Love her or hate her, when it comes to slinging insults there’s nobody better than Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones.

    Part of that is the writing, of course. But part of it is Lena Headey’s masterful portrayal of the Queen.

    Headey is so good at throwing shade as Cersei that you can basically make her say anything and it sounds good.

    Even insults from The Bachelor?

    Turns out, yes. Headey was on Jimmy Kimmel Live recently and agreed to read some real Bachelor quotes as her Game of Thrones character.

    Check out the hilarious video below:

    Speaking of Game of Thrones, the sixth season is set to premiere on April 24th.

  • Lisa Bonet and Zoe Kravitz, Gorgeous Mother-Daughter Duo Featured in New Calvin Klein Campaign

    Lisa Bonet joins daughter Zoe Kravitz in a new campaign for Calvin Klein. The mother-daughter duo are gorgeous, and one has to do a double-take to realize which is the mother and which is the daughter. The pair definitely do justice to the Calvin Klein Watches + Jewelry spring campaign.

    In the print and video ads, Lisa Bonet and Zoe Kravitz have an organic feel as they wade in a lake and cuddle up close to one another.

    Zoe Kravitz is the daughter of former Cosby Show star Lisa Bonet and rocker Lenny Kravitz. Zoe stars in the Divergent film series, as well as in Mad Max: Fury Road.

    Lisa Bonet also has two children with husband and Game of Thrones alum Jason Momoa.

    The new ads feature the tagline, “Life in the now,” and some feature additional actors and models, including Will Peltz, his girlfriend, model Kenya Kinski, model couple John Hein and Tilda Lindstam, and a few others.

    None are quite as intriguing as Lisa Bonet and Zoe Kravitz. There’s just something about a mother-daughter duo–especially when that mother grew up on TV, as Bonet did on The Cosby Show–that people love to see.

    Were you a fan of Lisa Bonet when she starred on The Cosby Show? Don’t you think daughter Zoe Kravitz looks just like her?

  • Emilia Clarke Says Special Diet Helps Her Poop

    Emilia Clarke of Game of Thrones fame, had the honor of making Forbes’ 30 under 30 list for 2016 this year.

    Emilia Clarke was honored alongside newcomers like John Boyega and Daisy Ridley of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

    While both Boyega and Ridley are only 23 and will likely be seen on the list in the future, Emilia Clarke, at 29, will never again have the honor.

    It’s okay, though. Emilia Clarke is preparing for a new after-30 stage of life with a diet which supports regularity. It’s hard getting older.

    Emilia Clarke came out as a fan of the Clean and Lean diet on Instagram:

    After the caption, Emilia Clarke added the hashtag #fullofthingsthatmakeyouopoopandthingsthatmakeyougood.

    While revealing just a little too much, Emilia Clarke’s post has drawn attention to the diet. Maybe more from those who have discovered that regularity has become a big deal.

    According to the website, “Clean & Lean describes the perfect state for your body – ‘clean’ of fattening toxins and ‘lean’ as a result of a nourishing diet and regular exercise.”

    If you’re interested, seeing that there’s still time to call your new exercise regimen a “New Year’s resoltion”, the program includes five books, a collection of supplements, a line of clothing and exercise recommendations.

    Are you ready to try Emilia Clarke’s Clean and Lean diet?

  • Bran Stark Makes A Comeback In Season 6 Of ‘Game Of Thrones’

    It’s that time of the year again to swoon over adultery, murder, and nudity. The new season of Game of Thrones is upon us and Season 5 absentee Bran Stark is making his much-anticipated comeback.

    After taking a long hiatus since the Season 4 finale of Game of Thrones, the youngest remaining member of the House Stark has been confirmed to appear in the upcoming sixth season. Viewers last saw Bran Stark on the show meeting the three-eyed raven in the giant weirwood tree.

    Bran Stark Meets the Three-Eyed Raven on Season 4 of Game of Thrones

    While a lot has definitely taken place in Westeros during Bran Stark’s absence, fans can expect a huge difference in the young Stark as well.

    Bran Stark, who is played by English actor Isaac Hempstead-Wright, has outgrown his long, disheveled hair for a shorter and cleaner look. Entertainment Weekly released the first peek of Bran’s new look on December 28th and showed the now-teenaged Stark looking upward towards the sky with a familiar direwolf sitting nearby.

    The death of his alleged brother Jon Snow in the previous season’s finale was certainly the most talked-about event in the series since the massacre of most of the Stark family during the Red wedding. There has been so much speculation as to the fate of Jon Snow, with some people believing that magic will bring him back to life.

    With most of the Game of Thrones characters believing that Bran Stark has long been dead, fans of House Stark are now hoping that his return will somehow avenge the dismal fate of his family. Ever since he became a warg, viewers are looking forward to witnessing how Bran Stark will use his powers.

    Season 6 of Game of Thrones Will Include Bran Stark

    As one will remember, Bran Stark lost his ability to walk when both his legs were broken from a long fall. He had inadvertently witnessed the incestuous affair between siblings Cersei and Jaime Lannister, which caused Jaime to push him down from the tower in an attempt to kill him.

    Season 6 of Game of Thrones is set to return in April of 2016.

  • Emilia Clarke Appears in New “Game of Thrones” Season Six Teaser

    Emilia Clarke is front and center in a new teaser trailer for the upcoming sixth season of Game of Thrones. In her role as Daenerys Targaryen, Emilia Clarke is seeking justice in this new season.

    In the trailer, the character of the Three-Eyed Raven (played by Max von Sydow) is heard saying, “We watch, we listen and we remember. The past is already written. The ink is dry.”

    Lots of flashbacks, including the death of Snow, are featured, too.

    Emilia Clarke is also prominently featured in a Tweet that teases the upcoming season.

    It’s been an exceptionally exciting year for Emilia Clarke. In addition to her huge fan base for her Game of Thrones role, she was named Esquire magazine’s Sexiest Woman Alive in October. For her Esquire cover shot, the Mother of Dragons posed topless in bed. Inside its pages, she posed for several sexy lingerie photos.

    In addition to the sixth season of Game of Thrones, what else do you suppose 2016 might have in store for Emilia Clarke?

    Will she be hard-pressed to surpass this very exciting year?

  • Emilia Clarke Headed to Silver Screen Sooner Than Expected in “Me Before You”

    Emilia Clarke, best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in HBO’s Game of Thrones, is headed to the silver screen sooner than expected in a film previously scheduled to premiere in June. Instead, fans can see Emilia Clarke in Me Before You in March.

    Me Before You is based on the JoJo Moyes novel, and was initially scheduled for a June 3 release. Sources tell Deadline the change was made to draw in female viewers, especially those off from both high school and college spring break.

    Emilia Clarke plays Lou, “a small town girl caught between dead-end jobs; and Will (Sam Claflin), a high-profile, successful man who becomes wheelchair bound following an accident. The two get off to a rocky start, but Lou becomes determined to prove to Will that life is worth living and as they embark on a series of adventures together.”

    Jenna Coleman of Doctor Who fame and Emilia Clarke’s Game of Thrones costar Charles Dance also star in the film.

    This isn’t Clarke’s first foray into the film world. She appeared in Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator Genisys and will also hit the big screen in Voice from the Stone, which is in post-production.

    Lest fans forget, it’s worth a reminder that Emilia Clarke was named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive just a month ago. There are no doubt many new and exciting things in her future.

    Do you watch Emilia Clarke in Game of Thrones? Will you check her out in Me Before You when it opens in theaters on March 4?

  • Natalie Dormer Gets Kissed by Jennifer Lawrence, Lawrence Liked It

    Natalie Dormer got kissed by Jennifer Lawrence while on the red carpet at the London premiere of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay–Part 2, and now the internet is abuzz with talk about “the kiss.”

    When everything settles down, fans will quickly realize that the two aren’t closeted lovers, but rather that the kiss Jennifer Lawrence meant to plant on Natalie Dormer’s cheek went a bit askew.

    Jennifer Lawrence was, in fact, trying to place a chaste surprise kiss on Natalie Dormer’s cheek while the two were on the red carpet. Natalie Dormer happened to turn her head at just the right–or wrong, as the case may be–time, causing direct lip contact between herself and Lawrence.

    Ever the jokester, Jennifer Lawrence was quit to laugh the situation off.

    “Oh my god, we just kissed on camera. And I liked it,” she said to Natalie Dormer.

    Shortly thereafter, Natalie Dormer played up the scenario, too. When a reporter mentioned she had lipstick on her face, she replied, “I’ll get Jennifer Lawrence off my face.”

    Twitter went a bit crazy following the mistake.

    Will Jennifer Lawrence ever live down kissing Natalie Dormer? Will the Game of Thrones star be forever thought of as the one who received “the kiss?”

    The only thing better than the hilarity of Jennifer Lawrence kissing Natalie Dormer would be if pal Amy Schumer had been on hand to add commentary.

  • Emilia Clarke of ‘Game of Thrones’ Is the New Face For Dior Fine Jewelry

    Emilia Clarke, the mother of dragons on Game of Thrones, has been named as the face of high-fashion label’s Rose des Vents fine jewelry collection.

    According to People magazine, the 29-year-old British actress best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in the HBO hit series dazzles in the first ad campaign for the jewelry line.

    In her debut campaign for the French fashion house, which was shot by renowned fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier, Emilia Clarke stuns in a black turtleneck. The minimal makeup only accentuates the delicate blue-and-green Dior jewels accessorizing the look.

    “Demarchelier captures the young actress’ natural, timeless beauty — a true reflection of the Rose des Vents stunning line of long and short necklaces in yellow and rose gold, diamonds, white mother-of-pearl, and pink opal,” the French brand said in a statement.

    In a second shot, Emilia Clarke sports an opened, white button-down Oxford shirt and is draped in beautiful baubles, confirming that she is Esquire magazine’s sexiest woman alive.

    “Rose des Vents, the wind rose, is also a metaphor for creation,” Victoire de Castellane, Dior Joaillerie’s creative director, said in a statement. “Creating is about searching, turning things over, and then finding ones cardinal point and setting off on a journey. Creation is the product of a stationary voyage.”

    This is Emilia Clarke’s first luxury campaign ad and will most certainly not be her last. Clarke joins the ranks of other gorgeous Dior faces, including Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman, Rihanna and Marion Cotillard.

  • Emilia Clarke Predicts The End of ‘Game of Thrones’ and Thinks Dany Will ‘Win the Whole Damn Thing’

    Emilia Clarke, the mother of dragons on Game of Thrones, has made a prediction about the end game of the highly successful HBO series.

    Currently filming the sixth season, the 29-year-old “sexiest woman alive” told Entertainment Tonight that she is very proud to have portrayed Daenerys Targaryen from a timid girl to a fearless ruler.

    “I think I was lucky because in season one, there was such a lovely arc. You saw her as this naïve young girl, and then I was able to find her strength, so there was that development,” Clarke said. “It wasn’t as though I was just thrown in and expected to be this strong warrior. And then, with each season, it’s just kind of grown and it’s kind of wonderful.”

    Game of Thrones will likely end after eight seasons, according to HBO. Clarke is fine with the decision, but noted that there could be an extended seventh season.

    “I’m all about leaving the party when it’s still kicking,” she said. “So I think that maybe [season] seven will get split into two, or maybe it will just be straight to eight.”

    All Emilia Clarke really seems to care about is who comes out on the throne in the end.

    “What I would hope for Dany is that she wins the whole damn thing,” she said with a laugh. “That she wins, and she wins all of it — and she wins. That’s what I think is going to happen!”

    Clarke was honored on Wednesday at The Wrap‘s annual Power Women Breakfast in L.A. for her unwavering beliefs in gender equality.

    “I think we should just see more equality across the board really, and see more inclusiveness between men and women,” Clarke said to Sharon Waxman, The Wrap‘s CEO and Editor-in-Chief during a Q&A. “Hopefully we can educate a new generation of guys that are coming up that there is no difference.”

    Emilia Clarke donned a black knit Valentino dress adorned with unicorns for a very specific reason.

    “It’s to celebrate that there’s a new unicorn emoji,” she said on the red carpet. “So I thought that I would wear this today to celebrate that — and women.”

  • Emilia Clarke of ‘Game of Thrones’ Named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive

    Emilia Clarke, who is beloved as Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, has been named Esquire magazine’s Sexiest Woman Alive.

    For the cover of the magazine, the Mother of Dragons struck a sexy pose lying topless in bed. According to TV Guide, inside the issue, Clarke poses in a series of photos featuring the actress in lots of lingerie.

    For the feature article, Emilia told of how she landed her star-making role as Daenerys Targaryen on the HBO hit. She said that after graduating from drama school, Clarke gave herself a year to make it as an actress, but failed. She wound up working three jobs, including gigs at a bar, at a call center and one job she declined to reveal.

    “And then my agent calls me up and says, ‘Did you ever go up for Game of Thrones?’” Clarke recalls, noting that HBO had shot a pilot, but wasn’t happy with the original casting.

    “My agent told the casting director, ‘I know that the breakdown for this character is tall and willowy and blonde. I know she’s short and round and brown, but I’d like you to see her.’”

    Things went very quickly for the actress and she didn’t even have the time to read the George R.R. Martin’s books to discover more about her character.

    “So I did what every good actor does and Wikipedia’d the living crap out of it,” she said.

    From there, Clarke said she sensed that what HBO was looking for was “someone who could grow before your eyes in one season, who could gather strength and show vulnerability, they wanted the arc.”

    As to the sexy and often times nude scenes for Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke said, “I’m perfectly find with it.”

    Do you think Emilia Clarke is the sexiest woman alive? If not, who is your choice for the honor?

  • Amanda Peet Makes Out With Husband And Another Man At 2015 Emmys

    The recently held 2015 Emmys has been a wonderful night for the Game of Thrones family. The TV show won 12 awards including the award for Outstanding Drama Series — the biggest award of the night.

    Game of Thrones creator David Benioff accepted the award. But before he went on stage, he turned to his wife, Amanda Peet, who was sitting next to him, and gave her a kiss.

    The whole cast of the TV show celebrated their victory at the official HBO party at the Pacific Design Center, West Hollywood, Calilfornia. Peet and her husband Benioff were also spotted at the party. The 43-year-old actress was photographed sharing a kiss with Chilean actor Pedro Pascal in front of her husband, who playfully flicked his middle fingers up at the cameras. The couple posed with Pascal afterwards.

    One onlooker told People that the couple was “always at the center of the social activity together” and added, “They seem like a fun and very in-sync couple.” Peet and Benioff have been married for nine years and have three children: Frances, 8; Molly, 5, and Henry, 9 months. Game of Thrones beat other hit TV series like Homeland, Mad Men, Downton Abbey, Orange Is The New Black, Better Call Saul, and House Of Cards for the Best Drama category. The TV series made history on Sunday as it bagged a total of 12 awards, including Outstanding Supporting Actor and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series.

    The hit TV series also beat the previous record holder, The West Wing, which took home nine Emmys back in 2000.

    Emilia Clarke, who was nominated for Outstanding Supporting actress, was absent during the party as she is currently in Spain, filming for the upcoming season of the show.

     

  • Emilia Clarke Cringes At Those Sex Scenes On “Game Of Thrones”

    Emilia Clarke spoke recently about her feelings on television sex scenes, saying they are far too gratuitous for her taste.

    Clarke, who plays Daenerys on the hit HBO show Game Of Thrones, says that her British upbringing won’t allow her to not cringe when she sees a nude scene on television.

    “Sex scenes should be more subtle. I’m British, so I cringe at that sort of thing anyway — I can’t stand it. Most sex scenes you see in films or on TV are gratuitous and they’re usually just to attract an audience. On screen, the subtler the better,” Clarke told the Daily Mail.

    Interestingly, Game Of Thrones has become one of the hottest shows on television when it comes to sex scenes, and Clarke herself has disrobed several times onscreen. However, rumor has it that she has rebelled against the nude scenes in recent years, reportedly not wanting to become known for her body more than her acting.

    “One of the girls in the show who got her kit off the most in the first couple of seasons now doesn’t at all because she said, ‘I want to be known for my acting not for my breasts’,” Clarke’s co-star Oona Chaplin told the Telegraph.

    Most of Emilia Clarke’s co-stars say they don’t mind the nudity and lascivious scenes because they are not only integral to much of the drama, they are done well. Natalie Dormer, who plays Margaery Tyrell, says that the showrunners know what they’re doing when it comes to sex and violence.

    “I think Thrones is quite good. The violence is quite naturalistic. It’s not hyper-stylised. It’s not glamorous. The sex is quite real and dirty as well. It’s about those raw, visceral qualities of human life that make good drama,” Dormer said.
