An Urban Decay 'Game of Thrones' Collection Is Coming


There are many reasons that to be counting the days until April, not the least of which is the return of HBO’s Game of Thrones for its eighth and final season, when we’ll finally learn who will reign on the Iron Throne. While the world has been anxiously awaiting new episodes and deep diving into every internet theory imaginable about Sansa, Arya, Daenerys, and her dragon children, the good people over at Urban Decay have been busy with their own baby: a Game of Thrones collection.

The show’s first-ever official makeup collaboration was announced via a somewhat cryptic Instagram post caption: “WE ARE READY ⚔️ #FORTHETHRONE #URBANDECAY @gameofthrones,” it reads, along with an image that can best be described as fierce.

The brand also teased the collection on Twitter, writing, “Worlds will collide,” along with a fire and ice emoji.

Back in 2017 there were rumors of GoT makeup, but it never came to pass. Perhaps, Urban Decay had the inside track since the company had previously worked with HBO on a collaboration for the show Vinyl. And the network has certainly seemed to lean into the marketing and merchandising of the show as it comes to a close. Remember that Thrones/Bud Light crossover ad at the Super Bowl?

Whatever forces made this collaboration a reality, we are here for it. While we don’t know many details yet (we’ll update this post once more intel surfaces), we do know that it’s arriving in April. From the released photos, it’s clear that the color palette will definitely not be as neutral as that of the Starks at Winterfell. That blue-ish teal shadow looks incredible—and fit for a queen like…Daenerys, perhaps?

But we still have so many questions. Will there be different palettes based on characters like Dany, Sansa, Cersei, and Arya? (Although, really would the youngest Stark daughter ever wear mascara? Unclear.) Is there a guyliner inspired by Jon Snow? And most importantly, how many products will there be for me to spend all my money on?

More details to come. But from the reactions on Twitter, it’s safe to say the line will be as much of a hit as the show.

'Game of Thrones' Star Lena Headey Says Refusing Harvey Weinstein’s Advances Hurt Her Career


By now, the word’s out about Harvey Weinstein: Actresses’ stories about former Hollywood heavyweight producer allegedly harassing and assaulting them helped catalyze the #MeToo movement’s 2017 shift into high gear. What played out would not only expose and take down Weinstein, who continues to deny the allegations, but many (many) other high-profile men. Now, Lena Headey, who plays ice queen Cersei Lannister on Game of Thrones, has talked in more detail about her experiences with Weinstein, alleging that he hurt her career for a decade.

Headey had previously opened up in an October 2017 series of tweets about her interactions with him. In 2005, she tweeted, he made a suggestive comment to her at the Venice Film Festival, which she laughed off. Some time after, she wrote, he asked her to come up to his hotel room to get a script. Her body, she wrote, “went into high alert,” and Headey said that she spoke up for herself: “I’m not interested in anything other than work, please don’t think I got in here with you for any other reason, nothing is going to happen.” He apparently became “furious,” and when his room key didn’t work, Headey wrote, he walked her back to the elevator, holding her arm tightly and telling her not to speak to anyone about it.

After these incidents, Headey says, she was virtually iced out of her career for almost a decade. She told The Sunday Times that refusing the advances she alleges meant she barely saw any roles from Miramax, the studio Weinstein co-founded.

“After he was discovered to be a slimeball, on a grander scale than me just knowing it, I did start thinking, ‘Fuck, maybe because I didn’t shag him, that’s impacted a decade of my working life,’ because I did two jobs for Miramax before those incidents, and after that there was nothing,” she told the newspaper.

A decade with little to no work is hard on anyone, but luckily Headey landed on her feet with one of the biggest roles on one of the biggest shows on television. Weinstein, on the other hand, has recently lost his defense lawyer and is due back in court March 7 for a pre-trial hearing after being indicted last May on charges of rape. His trial, which now includes five charges of sexual assault, is scheduled to begin in May.

New 'Game of Thrones' Clip Shows Sansa and Daenerys Meeting for the First Time


After what seems like an eternity of waiting, Game of Thrones‘ eighth season is returning in April. And without any teasers to satiate our obsession, it’s a been a long, hard hibernation. Now, finally—finally!—we’ve got some sort of clue as to what’s going to unfold in Westeros. HBO just dropped the first official teaser for the show’s final season. And what it lacks in length (it’s only five seconds long), it more than makes up for in drama.

The clip shows Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryens arrival in Winterfell, and features Dany’s first-ever face-to-face meeting with Sansa Stark.

And let’s just say the encounter isn’t all smiles and sunshine. Much like winter in Westeros, the interaction between the two of them seems icy. In the video Sansa begrudgingly tells Dany, “Winterfell is yours, your grace.”

Though the clip is new, Entertainment Weekly had previously reported that the new season of Game of Thrones would open in Winterfell. Back in November the outlet revealed that, “season 8 opens at Winterfell with an episode that contains plenty of callbacks to the show’s pilot. Instead of King Robert’s procession arriving, it’s Daenerys and her army. What follows is a thrilling and tense intermingling of characters—some of whom have never previously met, many who have messy histories—as they all prepare to face the inevitable invasion of the Army of the Dead.”

The scene was also previously featured in a HBO promo highlighting the network’s 2019 projects. That clip showcased an awkward hug between Sansa and Jon, so clearly this scene is all around tense. One Twitter user joked, “When you bring your new girlfriend home to meet the family but your half-sister-cousin ain’t having it. #GameofThrones #Season8.” Brienne of Tarth and Ser Jorah Mormont were also on-hand for Sansa and Dany’s showdown and Jon’s homecoming.

The trailer also featured snippets of some of our other favorite HBO shows, and in the Big Little Lies segment we got a spotting of the queen herself, Meryl Streep, in character in Monterey. The next chapter of True Detective and the final season of Veep were also featured.

The exact date of the season premiere has still not been announced. But it’s safe to say, this season is going to be chilling.

Joe Jonas Dressed Up Like Fiancée Sophie Turner's 'Game of Thrones' Character for Halloween


Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are stepping out again, having made their red-carpet debut at the beginning of October. They’ve had a habit of getting tattoos to commemorate their love of each other since the beginning of the year, but Jonas really stepped it up by dressing up for Halloween as his fiancée. Or, rather, as his fiancée’s alter ego, Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones.

As it turns out, he’s a huge stan of both Turner and the show: He professed his love of the HBO favorite back in October. “I would have [made a Game of Thrones cameo] in a heartbeat, but unfortunately, it’s not going to happen,” Jonas told Variety. “That would have been amazing. I would have loved it.”

Jonas attended Kate Hudson’s annual Halloween party dressed up as Stark on Saturday night, leaving his stubble carefully groomed but donning a Sansa-esque red wig and floor-length turquoise velvet gown.

Check out his dramatic entrance here (sorry, no audio):

Turner, for her part, went as an elephant in a comfy onesie.

Of course there was a photo booth, so this moment could be captured on film:

How clever is this cauldron-y pool?

It looks like a great time was had by all, and to be honest, we’re extremely pleased that Jonas finally got his Game of Thrones cameo. Sort of.

Sophie Turner Says Fans Might Be 'Disappointed' by *Game of Thrones*' Series Finale


The final season of Game of Thrones will begin in April, which is exciting, but something Sansa Stark herself (Sophie Turner) just said might give fans pause. In a new interview with IGN, Turner admitted that reactions to the show’s finale will likely be divisive, although she personally found it to be a suitable ending.

“As an actor it was really satisfying,” she explained about filming the finale. “I think for everyone, everyone’s storylines — to be able to act out the way that it all ends. It was really satisfying for us. Who knows if it will be satisfying for the fans. I think a lot of fans will be disappointed and a lot of fans will be over the moon, I think. I think it will be really interesting to see people’s reactions, but for me reading the script it was just, like, heartbreaking to read at the very final page of the script it just says, ‘end of Game of Thrones.’ That was really emotional.” However, Turner was effusive in her praise about how Sansa’s arc ends, even teasing what to expect when we meet up with her again. “Over the course of the series she’s been completely unaware of what she wants, where she wants to be, who she really is,” Turner said, “and at the end of this season, I feel she is the most self-assured character in the show.” (Does that at least confirm that Sansa makes it through the whole season unfazed by a White Walker?)

HBO, unsurprisingly, hasn’t been as forthcoming with what season 8 will entail for other characters, although we do know a few key tidbits: It’s only going to be six episodes long, although those episodes will be longer in length compared with what we’ve seen in the past. (Think six movies.) Sansa is also going to have to deal with a “new threat,” while Cersei Lannister is probably going to die. What, you expected a big, happy ending?

The 'Game of Thrones' Cast Is Saying Goodbye to The Show, and We Can't Take It


Winter has come and gone—and we are not at all prepared for it. As the last season of Game Of Thrones stalks toward us like a relentless White Walker, the cast has been shooting their final scenes and taking to social media to say some hard goodbyes.

On Saturday, Maisie Williams was the latest GoT regular to bid the show adieu with an Instagram post that captures all the gory greatness of the Seven Kingdoms. Williams plays the badass Arya Stark, a character who goes from a precocious kid from Winterfell to a killing machine. The actress posted an image that captures Arya pretty accurately: A pair of white tennis shoes completely doused in blood.

“goodbye belfast. goodbye arya. goodbye game of thrones. what a joy i’ve had. here’s to the adventures to come #lastwomanstanding #barely #immasleepforthenextfouryears #justkiddingidontslee,” Williams wrote.

The photo also sparked immediate rumors about whether or not the shoes are a clue about the final season: Maybe they mean Arya mets a grisly fate—or maybe they mean she keeps carrying out lethal vengeance on her foes.

Earlier this month, Emilia Clarke also said goodbye on Instagram, albeit with a much less brutal photo. She wrote a moving note about the GoT journey, which has allowed her to play the unforgettable Daenerys Stormborn a.k.a. the Mother of Dragons a.k.a. the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea a.k.a. the Unburnt a.k.a. the Breaker of Chains.

“Hopped on a boat to an island to say goodbye to the land that has been my home away from home for almost a decade,” she wrote. “It’s been a trip @gameofthrones thank you for the life I never dreamed I’d be able to live and the family I’ll never stop missing #?#lastseasonitis.”

Nathalie Emmanuel, who plays Khaleesi’s right hand Missandei, wrote a more ambiguous tribute to Belfast, where the show often shoots. “When you see the sunrise over Belfast with the people who, over the last 6 years, have become family… in a city that now feels like home. A new day marks new beginnings. Ain’t that the truth…. Love you all you crazy kids ❤️,” she wrote.

Meanwhile, season-one favorite Jason Momoa joined the cast to commemorate the show’s ending. Although he said he was only back for “kisses and hugs and The the black stuff,” some fans speculated he might be back on location for something related to the show’s finale.

“I’m so grateful to be apart of the greatest show on earth. I’m honored to be able to come to Ireland and celebrate with my friends. I’m just here for kisses and hugs and The black stuff ????. mahalo David and Dan you are legends . Congrats to the talented crew and cast. Aloha j,” he captioned a bunch of photos with the cast.

The real waterworks are going to start when Peter Dinklage and Kit Harrington weigh in. At least Harrington doesn’t have Instagram—we know we’re going to lose it when Jon Snow leaves us.
