Kit Harington: Jon Snow is DEFINITELY Dead!

Unless you’ve been sentenced to take the black and join the Night’s Watch, and you just now figured out the wi-fi password at the Wall, you’re probably aware that Jon Snow was “killed” in the Game of Thrones Season 5 finale.



Naturally, in the months since, there’s been much speculation as to whether or not Snow is really dead.


After all, death takes many forms in Westeros, and even though we saw him get stabbed several times and bleed out in the snow (a fitting end, if ever there was one), it’s hard to believe a character who’s been so important to the proceedings thus far could really be gone for good.


The fact that Jon is featured prominently in the season 6 promotional materials seemed to basically confirm that he had somehow survived the attack, or would be brought back from the great beyond (perhaps by the otherworldly Melisandre).


This week, however, actor Kit Harington, who portrays Jon on the show, has been going around dashing hopes in a series of interviews:


“I think anyone who wants to know what happens in season six has to wait until it comes out,” he told E! News.


“All I can tell you is Jon Snow is dead. He died at the end of last season…. It’s going to be an exciting season. So I’m led to believe.”



Later in the week, Harington said the following during an interview with the BBC:


“People didn’t want me to die, but he’s dead. So there you go, everyone has to get used to it. I haven’t done Thrones in a while. I had quite a lot of time off last year. I’ve been taking it easy. And relaxing.”


Okay, Kit. Clearly you’re either lying to us, or like your signature character…you know nothing.


Either way, we’re guessing season six will feature more Snow than winter storm Jonas.


Watch Game of Thrones online at TV Fanatic to get caught up in time for the April premiere. And hurry – spring is coming.

Kim Richards Returns! Will Star in New Mother/Daughter Reality Show

If you miss Kim Richards on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, don’t despair.


The socialite and her daughter Kimberly Jackson are set to appear alongside five other mother/daughter pairs in Lifetime’s new reality series, “The Mother/Daughter Experiment: Celebrity Edition.”



The show will showcase the women as they receive guidance from a therapist in an “attempt to repair their broken relationships by airing all their dirty laundry,” as reported by E! News.


Well, that sounds healthy. For us. Because laughter is the best medicine.


The other five mother/daughter pairs include:


  • Heidi Pratt (nee Montag) and mother Darlene Egelhoff

  • Courtney Stodden and mom Krista

  • Natalie Nunn of Bad Girls’ Club and mother Karen

  • Shar Jackson (Kevin Federline’s baby mama) and daughter Cassie

  • Hollywood Exes star Jessica Canseco and daughter Jessie

If the trailer below is any indication, viewers will be treated to a whirlwind of crying, yelling, pushing and gesticulating befitting a Lifetime show, including emotional lines like “you ripped my heart out of my soul” and battle cries such as “you guys are gonna see a mother/daugher have a f**king fight!”


But by the end, we will also see hugs, tears, declarations of forgiveness and, of course, mothers and daughters sitting together and looking off into the sunset.


It was a tumultuous year for Richards, who has been arrested twice, fired from RHOBH and suffered the loss of her husband Monty Brinson earlier this week.


Luckily, she appears to have been refraining from drugs and alcohol, and completed 60 days of sobriety in December.


The series will premiere March 1 on Lifetime.


Blac Chyna: I"m a Messy B-tch Who LIVES For Drama!

As you"ve no doubt heard by now, Blac Chyna is hooking up with Rob Kardashian.


Lots of folks in Rob"s inner circle are sketched out by this development, and with good reason.


Rob is in a vulnerable state and there"s a good chance Blac is using him to get back at her longtime rival Kylie Jenner.


It"s possible that the whole thing is a genuine Romeo and Juliet situation, and Rob and Blac just couldn"t help their feelings for one another, despite their affiliations with warring factions.


Of course, when Blac posts a video like the one below, she makes it kinda hard to be trusting and optimisitic.


The clip – which recently appeared on Blac"s Snapchat page – shows Ms. Chyna in full Shakespearean villain mode, gettin" all Richard III right up in your face.


She"s lip syncing with a popular Vine video, but her words here are nonetheless important.


Blac proclaims herself a "liar," a "scammer," and a "messy b-tch who lives for drama."


Obviously, she could be joking, but it"s not like she didn"t know how the clip would be received when she posted it in the middle of a tabloid sh-tstorm.


Like we said, it"s probably all in jest – but it would still make us a little nervous if we were Rob.

Taylor Swift Faces Squad Trouble as Friends Jump Ship: Report

These days, it’s rare to read anything about Taylor Swift that doesn’t feature some mention of her ever-expanding group of famous female friends.



Taylor’s “squad” is as much a part of her public persona as her love life used to be, and many have suggested that it’s one component of a conscious effort by her team to portray Swift as a drama-free supporter of other women.


Unfortunately, no matter what she does, Taylor seems to be a magnet for scrutiny and criticism, and making her popularity with her female peers a matter of public spectacle has prompted a good deal of speculation about the dynamic of the squad.


Taylor has invited famous friends on stage, walked the red carpet with a gaggle of models and actresses, and gushed about her girl posse in countless interviews.


At first she was praised as a feminist role model, but the tide quickly turned and questions started to emerge:


Is she simply friend collecting? Are her peers being to made to feel like sidekicks? Are all the girls equal, or is Taylor’s squad all about Taylor?


Swift kind of addressed these criticisms when she stated during a recent that the criteria for squad membership is really quite simple:



“Number one, you have to like me. And number two, you have to want to spend time with me,” she told thousands of young women, many of whom have no doubt imagined themselves in the squad.


While many have side-eyed the squad and have full of celebs have openly thrown shade at Taylor and her ever-present chick clique, most seem to agree that Taylor’s decision to focus on female friendship is a good thing, both for her and her millions of impressionable fans.


Unfortunately, since it’s taken the place of her romantic relationships as the part of her private life that she chooses to share with the public, Taylor’s squad has become a source of tabloid fodder.


Recent reports have Taylor kicking members out for violating her strict set of rules.


Sources say she booted Kendall Jenner  after the model began dating Taylor’s ex-boyfriend Harry Styles.


Lena Dunham once described Taylor as her “best friend,” but they reportedly haven’t spoken in months.


Now, several insiders are claiming that Taylor and her longtime BFF Karlie Kloss are on the outs, a rumor that Kloss seems to have corroborated with a recent vague comment about “the ups and downs” of friendship.


We may never know if these reports are true, and it’s generally easier to repair a friendship than a romantic relationship, so Taylor’s exiled squad members may wind up back in her good graces.


Obviously, it would be impossible for Taylor to keep every part of her personal life on the down-low, but she grants fans far more access than most celebs, and it now looks as though the decision is blowing up in her face, just as it did when she was in the habit of sharing intimate details about her love life.
