Emilia Clarke has taken all fans by surprise with a sudden change in her looks. This seems a bit suspicious, so all Game of Thrones enthusiasts have started making speculations on what this could mean for the fate of her character. They suspect the show will display a sudden twist of events, requiring Daenerys to switch from a long mane to shorter locks.

Emilia Clarke made a drastic change of looks

Emilia Clarke is a natural brunette and, for the portrayal of her beloved character Daenerys Targaryen, she had to wear a platinum blonde wig. This week, she surprised everybody with an Instagram photo, showing her freshly dyed hair in a shade suspiciously close to the one worn by her character.

Until now, the producers of the show didn’t ask Clarke to dye her hair, and the wig worked just fine. Suddenly, they seem to have allowed the actress to change her hair color and fit her character. However, all the chances are that they were the ones who asked her to do it. This might mean Daenerys will give up her braided locks and, instead, will display a much shorter hair.

What does this mean for the fate of Daenerys?

As the show progressed, Daenerys evolved from the long flowing hair to the intricate braids which appeared after her triumph over the Lannisters. This seems to be in accordance with the Dothraki tradition, which allowed warriors to display their victories through the length of their hair.

However, Emilia Clarke is sporting a pixie hairstyle, with no signs of luxurious locks. Could this mean Daenerys will be defeated in Season 8? This might also be a reference to Cersei Lannister, who became a true Mad Queen shortly after she had her hair cut, and had to go on the embarrassing Walk of Atonement.

Others say the short hair might come after Daenerys finds out about the true origin of Jon Snow, and his legitimate claim to the Iron Throne. However, these are only speculations, which makes the suspense even bigger, and the wait until the last season harder to bear.

The Fans of the “Powerpuff Girls” animated series had mixed feeling about the fourth addition to the team, Blisstina, a black crimefighter sporting teal hair. The show introduced the new recruit Sunday during a special “Power of Four” episode.

The episode didn’t do much fuss about her race, but her superpowers captivated even the most stubborn naysayers. The fans’ initial reaction was to believe Blisstina to be one of the girls’ imaginary friend. It is not the first time Bubbles has an invisible pal other girls cannot see.

The show unveiled that the new addition to the team is the result of the girls’ creator’s “perfect little girl” scientific experiment. However, Professor Utonium had hoped for the girl to be more stable than that. The Professor recalled that after a laboratory explosion he thought that the experiment was a failure. What’s more, the new Powerpuff girl was Mojo Jojo’s closest pal at the time he was still working for the researcher.

Cartoon Network Welcomes the Fourth Girl

The new character’s powers make her an indispensable member of the crime squad, even though Him has already included her in his evil plan. Cartoon Network introduced Blisstina to the series’ fans on Twitter:

At the end of the “Power of Four,” the new girl leaves Townsville, but there is a hint she’d be back.

Powerpuff Girls fans recall that it is not that first time the series introduces a new member to the group. Between 1998 and 2005, it happened multiple times. For instance, in Season 2 of the original series, the trio tried to create a fourth sister (see the “Twisted Sister” episode). The experiment led to the creation of Bunny who died by the end of the episode.

In Season 5, Princess Morbucks joined the group as a Powerpuff Girl but was soon ousted when the girls found she lied about her background.

Game of Thrones’s The Spoils of War episode left us with more questions than answers, but some clues we were able to spot in the Eastwatch trailer for Episode 5 could help us determine at least the fate of one favorite character.

It is unclear if Jaime Lannister is dead or not after tumbling into that lake, but the fifth episode moved the action farther north. Eastwatch is the castle that haunts Hound in his visions and the one that Jon send the Wildlings to at the debut of Season 7.

The trailer suggests that the white walkers may try to penetrate the Wall at Eastwatch which is located by the sea. Hound once said that “the waves are frozen” in his visions, but the line was left out from the show.

If the sea is frozen, the army of the dead could find a way to get around the Wall. We suspect that Jon will take a trip to Eastwatch to ensure that that doesn’t happen. He might get help from Dany too, if he can convince him first.

Fan Theories Ahead (Spoiler Alert!)

There are many fan theories circulating the Internet after the release of the trailer. Die-hard fans suggest that the 31-second clip contains valuable clues and spoilers.

For instance, Jamie could have survived the fall in the lake, and got captured by Daenerys. Tyrion could help him escape, which means that a reunion may be happening.

The trailer also shows a conspiracy of ravens leaving Winterfell. Ravens are the first animals Bran was able to tame in the book, so he might be using them to spy beyond the Wall. He might see that a huge army is approaching, as the Night King likely recruited more troops since Season 2.

In the trailer, we can get a glimpse at the army of the dead. In the center, there is a smaller band which may be white walkers, while the surrounding band must be old wights. White walkers may play the role of army officers and old wights must be the foot soldiers.

For two months, Warner Bros has been reshooting its top superhero movie, Justice League. Apart from the extra costs of rescheduling, which exceed $25 million, the studio is facing some other problems which might slow down the filming process. One of these would be Superman’s moustache.

Huge extra costs for Justice League reshooting

The Justice League stars, including Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, or Ben Affleck, keep travelling between Los Angeles, London, and many other locations to reshoot the superhero movie. This rescheduling does not come without trouble, as the movie studio has to face some challenges which make the work more difficult.

The reshooting has already lasted more than any other production schedules for other movies, causing some financial losses. Warner Bros has already spent more than $25 million for them. As a comparison, reshoots for other popular movies cost between $6 million and $10 million.

Henry Cavill has to have his moustache removed

Some of the Justice League stars are not working on other projects at the moment, but this isn’t the case for all of them. Henry Cavill, for example, has to switch between Justice League and Mission Impossible 6. One further problem would be the fact that the latter project required him to let his moustache grow.

Paramount, the studio which produces the sixth Mission Impossible movie, refuses to let Cavill shave his moustache for the Superman role he is going to play in Justice League. This is why Warner Bros will have to use CGI to remove it.

This couldn’t let the internet indifferent, as Superman’s moustache removal sparked a lot of reactions and commentaries. Most fans want it to be kept intact, as it might suit the character better. Some of them even provided photographic evidence from the comics that the superhero sometimes wore a moustache.

Unfortunately for them, the decision stays and the studio will digitally remove Superman’s facial hair. Apart from this, Justice League will also feature a new director, Joss Whedon. The actors have trust in him, and declared they were sure he was going to make a great director.

The art world suffered a shock in 2015. Pilar Abel Martinez, a Spanish psychic, claimed she is painter Salvador Dali’s secret daughter. Only last month, Martinez won the right to have Dali exhumed. Now, the authorities may conduct the proper DNA tests.

The Iconic Moustache is Still Intact

On Thursday, July 20th, authorities exhumed Salvador Dali’s remains from his resting place at the Dali Theater-Museum in Figueres, Spain. The Dali-Gala Foundation opposed the exhumation but there was no settlement regarding the appeal.  Both parties reached a compromise to begin the exhumation outside the working hours of the museum.

On Thursday, representatives from the Foundation, the Forensic Medical Institute and the lawyers of both parties entered Dali’s resting place under the dome of the museum. Authorities secured the area so no one would intervene.

With the help of a pulley, the authorities managed to remove the casket lid that weighs one ton. Coroners then collected the necessary samples including hair, teeth, and nails. The Foundation confirmed the authorities conducted the intervention with great attention so as to not disturb the rest of Dali’s remains. In addition, the secretary general of the Foundation declared that it was “exciting” seeing how well preserved Dali’s corpse was. His iconic mustache has still remained in the classic “ten-past-ten position”.

The Dali Foundation Disapproves of the Intervention

The representatives from the Gala-Dali Foundation were content with how authorities conducted the investigation. However, they still disapprove of the act. The Foundation maintains the fact that Martinez does not have the evidence to support her claim. Martinez has a notarized statement from a woman who claims that she was a friend of Abel’s mother and that the mother confessed Abel’s father was Salvador Dali. The Foundation added:

Before agreeing to such an invasive act as the exhumation of Salvador Dalí in a museum, the claimant Pilar Abel Martínez—as proposed by the Foundation and the Spanish State—should have been required to carry out a DNA test to compare her DNA with that of her legal father (deceased) or her brother, to thereby obtain all available evidence that she is not their daughter or sister.

Coroners will announce the results obtained after having Dali exhumed in early September, this year.

Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has been widely criticized for her controversial interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones less than one month into her new position as NBC News correspondent.

On Tuesday, she issued a statement addressing the criticism, much of which came from the mainstream media who see the interview with a conspiracy-peddler unprofessional.

In that interview, Jones said he has evidence the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax staged by the U.S. government to take away people’s guns. Kelly wrote in her statement that she finds Jones’ theory “personally revolting”. She posted the statement just hours after the elementary school where the shooting occurred disinvited her.

Jones is the founder of Infowars, a conspiracy website with millions of followers which was behind other conspiracy theories such as 9/11 being staged by the CIA.

Megyn Kelly’s Rapid Fall from Grace

Once a media darling for often steering from Fox News’ conservative line, Kelly sees now the main stream media turning against her. A Washington Post correspondent labeled her interview with Jones “despicable”.

Plus, a recent interview with Russia president Vladimir Putin got a cold reception in the U.S. LA Times editor Lorraine Ali described Kelly as “not a great interviewer” in the wake of the interview in Moscow. Ali would have liked to see Kelly pressure Putin into answering some question on his country’s alleged interference in the U.S. elections.

New York Newsday deemed the interview a “rough start” for the freshly-appointed NBC News’ anchor’s career.

Kelly’s fall from grace with the mainstream media come just months after the New York Times praised her for her biting interviews with Republican officials. Last year, Vanity Fair called her “the brightest start” in the Fox News firmament.

As of recently the Daily Beast called her a “rank amateur” since she hasn’t been able to master the “art of the sit-down,” while The Chicago Tribune accused her of pulling off a “callous ratings grab” with her latest interviews.

“Alien: Covenant” Returns to the Horror Roots

Many people were completely disappointed when “Prometheus” came out in 2012. It did not answer any question we had about the origins of it all. Moreover, people left the theaters more confused than ever. Director Ridley Scott saw that and he decided to helm a new installment of the franchise called “Alien: Covenant”. This time, he answers some very important questions while also managing to go back to the roots of the series. “Covenant” also raises new questions, but it does not fail to answer them. People will not leave the theater with the same bitter taste as they had after they saw “Prometheus”.

Back to the roots

Stylistically and thematically, the movie stand somewhere between the previous movie and the 1970 horror original. It is amazing for a director to succeed something like that nowadays. The new movie it is surely not as good or as creepy as the original, but Ridley Scott manages to take the franchise from the bottom of a pit and make it relevant again. He uses familiar motives but alters them with his own perspective and directorial touch. Also, he provides the answers we needed to get during “Prometheus”, not a few years after, in another movie.

It all begins when a group of pioneers (scientists, engineers, pilots) wake up from hyper-sleep. They have the mission to transport colonists to a new planet which will become their new home. However, during the journey, they are attracted towards something that seems like an even better home. From this point, the movie keeps the fans on the edge of their seat. Ridley Scott handles mystery and suspense like no other, and this helps the movie greatly. He even manages to replicate the chest burster sequence from the classic movie.

New and classic at the same time

The director keeps himself from using the original alien, the “xenomorph”, too much. The creature is teased in the trailers, and it also appears in the movie but at the right time. Until then, the crew has to fight another new creature, a pale monster dubbed the “neomorph”. Apart from this, the movie’s action sequences are nothing new but the director makes them feel fresh. The cast is also very strong and there are no weak links among them. Overall, “Alien: Covenant” is a good movie which goes back to the roots, unlike the disappointment that was “Prometheus”.

Anne Hathaway, one of the most successful Hollywood actress is going star in the upcoming TV series adaptation of Jennifer Steel’s “The Ambassador’s Wife”. This will be the first time since her cinematic debut that the actress appears in a TV series.

Anne Hathaway’s involvement in television heralds a TV golden age, because if such a successful actress is tempted to work on a TV series, then more will follow in her footsteps.

Since television has raised the bar significantly in the last few years, it has produced numerous exceptional series that have nothing in common whatsoever with the soap opera stereotype that some people still have the tendency to associate it with.

TV series such as Breaking Bad, The Sopranos and Game of Thrones have turned the world of television into a complex and refined one, that is worthy of high critical praise regardless of the size of the screen it is broadcasted on.

Then, last year’s True Detective came to make quite some significant changes, as it starred Hollywood giants Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

They proved that by allowing an actor to take his character and portray its evolution along the course of a few episodes, rather than only a couple of hours can lead to an actual cinematic masterpiece, because the viewer can actually create a bond with the character and also because it gives the actor enough time to go deeper and explore multiple layers of the character’s personality.

Since then, the second season of True Detective has included big Hollywood names, such as Colin Farrell, Vince Vaughn and Rachel McAdams, thus proving that television is more and more of an appealing experience for some of the top actors of the moment.

Oscar winner Anne Hathaway is tailor made for the part she will be playing in “The Ambassador’s Wife” adaptation, as the show’s producer, Mark Gordon, has pointed out a statement, as reported by The Wrap.

“She is in a league all her own and we cannot think of anyone who can better portray Steil’s complex heroine.”, he said.

Seeing Anne Hathaway in a TV series is clearly going to be a en experience worthy of remembrance and we are all extremely excited about the development of the project.

Melissa McCarthy’s clothing line, Seven7 will sell clothes for women of all sizes, because high quality fashion choices and the chance to look good should be available to all women, regardless of their size.

The actress wants to put and end to the segregation that the fashion industry is creating among women who are considered to be of normal size and those who are considered to be plus-size, who are forced to shop in separate parts of the the stores where they go shopping with their friends, or even in different shops altogether.

Furthermore, Melissa McCarthy explains that she completely disapproves of the entire “plus-size” term and concept because “women come in all sizes” and because the vast majority of American women are deemed plus size by the fashion industry.

She says that it makes no sense whatsoever, neither from an ethical standpoint, nor from an financial standpoint to force most of the American women to shop separate stores, because this makes them feel uncomfortable.

The actress confessed that she has gone shopping alone on numerous occasions precisely because she had to go to plus size clothing stores and because this made her feel embarrassed. And what she found to be the most unnerving part of the entire experience was the fact that all the clothes that she found made her look and feel ridiculous, because they seemed to be aimed at women either much older or much younger than her.

In order to put this annoying matter to an end, Melissa McCarthy, who was in love with fashion design long before she fell in love with acting, decided to create her own line that would offer amazing fashion choices to women of all sizes.

Seven7 includes clothing that comes in a wide variety of sizes, ranging from tiny size 4 to voluptuous size 28. The line will be endorsed by top retailers such as Bloomingdale’s and Lane Bryant.

And it seems that some of these retailers have actually agreed to Melissa McCarthy’s proposal to include the Seven7 brand alongside other brands that sell normal-sized clothes, so that women can finally shop together, regardless of the differences in their size.

With such a healthy approach on the advertisement of her brand new clothing line, Melissa McCarthy has all the chances of getting fans of all shapes and sizes. One thing remains clear at this point and that is that we will be hearing a lot more about Seven7 and about Melissa McCarthy in the years to come.
