Controversial ‘Game of Thrones’ sex scene gives away a key detail about Arya Stark

Image
We’re two  Game of Thrones  episodes in, and the story has further advanced towards the event we’ve all been waiting for. I’m not going to spoil what just happened on HBO’s biggest show, or  what’s about to go down next week , but I will discuss two things from last night’s episode, both concerning a certain girl. The  following spoilers  won’t ruin your  Game of Thrones  experience, although one of them deals directly with an older  Game of Thrones  fan theory. How old is Arya? Arya finally got some, so to speak, during the second episode, as she hooked up with Gendry in a slightly cringy scene. Unsurprisingly, the internet exploded, as fans were shocked to discover these two characters having sex, especially Arya. But the internet should remember that Arya is about 18 years old in season 8. Gendry, meanwhile, is 23. In real life, Maise Williams is 22, while Joe Dempsie is 31. William talked to  Entertainment Weekly  ...

Kash Ali has been handed a six-month ban for biting David Price. Ali was disqualified in the fifth round for biting his Liverpudlian opponent on several occasions during their heavyweight bout on March 30. The British Boxing Board of Control have also fined the 27-year-old £10,000. The Birmingham fighter apologised for his conduct admitting he was "embarrassed" by his actions. "I would like to apologise for my unacceptable behaviour in my fight against David Price," he said earlier this month. "I am sorry to all boxing fans, to my team, my family, the British Boxing Board, David Price, his team, and his family. "I am hugely embarrassed for my actions and the way the whole fight unfolded. "The occasion got the better of me and those who know me, including David, can testify that my behaviour on Saturday during the fight was not a true reflection of who I am." Ali also confirmed he had since spoken with Price. "I have had...

Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg dies at 98

Image
Luxembourg's Grand Duke Jean, who over saw the transformation of the Grand Duchy into an international financial centre before abdicating and handing over to his son, has died at the age of 98. He was born on Jan. 5, 1921 to Grand Duchess Charlotte and Prince Felix of Bourbon-Parma. His early life was overshadowed by World War Two - his family had to flee invading Nazi troops and seek refuge in the United States and Canada. Jean returned to Europe in 1942 to receive military training at Sandhurst in Britain. He briefly served as a guard at Buckingham Palace before joining Allied forces in Normandy in 1944, taking part in the battle of Caen. After the war, Jean married Belgian princess Josephine Charlotte and had five children. He became the country's sixth Grand Duke when his mother Charlotte abdicated in 1964. During his 36 years as the head of state, his country of half a million inhabitants wedged in between Belgium, Germany and France, turned from an industri...

The 30-year-old actress stopped by the  Awards Chatter  podcast where she discussed her relationship with Zac Efron, which began just as both of their careers were taking off. The  Bad Boys for Life  star admits that she's "grateful" for what they had because it helped ground her during a tumultuous period in her life. "It started off really organically," she said. "I could not have been more grateful to have that relationship at the time." The pair reportedly began dating a year after the first  High School Musical  film was released. It was a massive hit, prompting Disney to create two more. Overnight, the pair became teen idols. "It was this massive phenomenon and [all] eyes were on me. And it's just a really weird foreign thing to go through, and by being in a relationship, it kind of kept me stabilized and grounded, and I had someone to lean on who was going through it as well." However, Hudgens readily admits that their fo...

Ariana Grande Hit With Lemon at Coachella

Image
The Bey Hive has spoken, folks. After allegations suggested Ariana Grande earned more than Beyoncé for her Coachella headlining effort this year, the pop songstress was targeted by a fan who threw a lemon at her on Sunday. Lemons are associated with Beyoncé due to her widely-praised sixth studio album  Lemonade . Grande, 25, took the stage for weekend two of Coachella on Sunday to give fans her all. She even recruited Justin Bieber (they have the same manager, Scooter Braun) for his first stage performance in two years. But not everyone in the crowd was impressed, and one fan had the audacity to throw a lemon directly at the Nickelodeon alum, which hit her chest as she was strutting on the stage. "If you throw a lemon at Ariana Grande, you're a piece of s***," Finneas, a singer, shared to Twitter.  The moment in question sparked a mix of reactions from Twitter users. Many shared a similar sentiment with Finneas arguing that attacking ...
