<p>In a recent interview, Emilia Clarke, the 'Game of Thrones' star, revealed that ‘quite a bit’ of her brain is missing after suffering from two serious aneurysms. During the filming of the famous HBO series, the actress underwent and survived two brain surgeries in 2011 and 2013 for her aneurysms. The aneurysm that could have killed her is a bulge in a blood vessel caused by a weakness in the wall of the vessel. Her recovery was not easy, but she still experiences some long-term effects.</p>

<p>In the interview, the 35-year-old actress said, "The amount of my brain that is no longer usable – it’s remarkable that I am able to speak, sometimes articulately, and live my life completely normally with absolutely no repercussions."</p>

<p>She added, "I am in the really, really, really small minority of people that can survive that. There’s quite a bit missing! Which always makes me laugh."</p>

<p>‘Because strokes, basically, as soon as any part of your brain doesn’t get blood for a second, it’s gone. And so the blood finds a different route to get around but then whatever bit it’s missing is therefore gone.’</p>

<p>Emilia said that her memory is intact as she’s able to perform without missing any of her lines in the new play, which is an adaptation of 'The Seagull.'</p>

'Game of Thrones' actress Emilia Clark is missing ‘quite a bit’ of her brain after aneurysm surgeries

<p>In 1999, HBO debuted 'The Sopranos', a TV series called Tony Soprano, a family man and a mobster suffering from something relatable to nearly every working human being: work-life balance. He is unable to balance his family life with his, um, career as a crime lord. The series was superbly written and acted, and ushered in what is now known as the Golden Age of Television. Indeed, it was this show that made the television medium the place of prestige. If not for 'The Sopranos' there will not be 'The Wire', 'Mad Men', 'Breaking Bad', 'Game of Thrones', and so on.</p>

<p><strong>When Netflix entered the picture</strong></p>

<p>The medium initially flourished after Netflix entered the picture and became a true challenger to the supremacy of legacy players like HBO. For the last 7-8 years, the leader in streaming space just showered money on every writer with any halfway-adequate idea that could somehow be worked into a TV show. The result was a flood of content for Netflix subscribers, most of it unwatchable for those with decent taste.</p>

<p>Then, the streaming giant upped the ante even further and set its eyes on filmmakers of prestige, and managed to rope in the Coen Brothers, Alfonso Cuarón, Bong Joon-Ho, and even Martin Scorsese. While the films came out great, the company had to shell out up to $225 million (in the case of Scorsese's 'The Irishman') to make those movies. It is anybody's guess as to whether the company got a decent return on investment with respect to those movies as we only have the number of views to gauge that.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Cracks in the edifice?</strong></p>

<p>TV has enjoyed this reputation for more than two decades now, but not it appears cracks are showing the edifice.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Earlier this year, it was revealed that for the first time in a decade Netflix lost subscribers instead of gaining them. About 200,000 subscribers said goodbye to the streamer, when it expected to gain 2.5 million users. It was a giant setback and forced the company to take stock of its choices. It has reportedly been considering offering cheap, ad-supported plans and banning users from sharing their passwords with friends and family.&nbsp;</p>

Is the Golden Age of Television over?

<p>HBO's fantasy drama series 'Game of Thrones' was by far the biggest show in the world at its peak. Thanks to HBO's dollars, the makers were able to believably craft an immersive world from author George RR Martin's fantasy series 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. A gritty recreation of quasi-mediaeval England, opulent sets, great writing, cast, characters with a lot of depth, and dizzyingly complex storylines involving lords, ladies, sellswords, preachers, wildlings, and so on with a generous dose of mythical beings like dragons and Whitewalkers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The show was the biggest thing on the planet. Until it wasn't. Its fall was even steeper than its rise. The culprit was hurried, nonsensical last season and to some extent the preceding season and the fact that the show overtook Martin's books. He has written only five out of seven books.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since that disastrous finale, Martin has wisely distanced himself from the show, saying in a roundabout way that the final two books will be quite different from the show. In other words, the show and book series will end differently.</p>

<p>''There was a winter&nbsp;festival in Pahalgam, I had a programme, Bollywood Director Imtiaz Ali took a selfie with me, and he shared it on his Instagram. That became viral across the world. And everyone said It's Peter Dinklage in Kashmir, and since I am here in Kashmir and Peter is in the US. I got offers after those pictures and I was shocked. They offered&nbsp;me a role in Bharat movie, and when I got to know the film stars Salman Khan, it was a dream come true. I am his big fan. And people on the sets called me Tyrion. Salman Khan picked me up in his arms in the movie scene,&nbsp;I was extremely happy,&nbsp;'' said Tariq Mir.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mir dreams of travelling to the United States and meeting his Doppleganger Peter Dinklage. Mir also has not forgotten the days when people used to laugh at him due to his short height. And now Mir wants to change the people's perception of dwarfism in India as well as in Bollywood.&nbsp;</p>

<p>''I&nbsp;am 4'3 inches, at first people used to laugh at me&nbsp;and now they walk up to me asking for selfies and&nbsp;autographs, it makes me happy. Everyday people come to me. I got to work in Kashmiri serials. I worked with the Kashmir tourism department and with Delhi tourism. I had a lot of offers from these departments,&nbsp;'' said Tariq Mir.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Jammu and Kashmir government also made an ad featuring Mir as Kashmir's own Tyrion Lannister in snow clad mountains&nbsp;of Gulmarg to attract more tourism.</p>

New "Game of Thrones" Studio Tour takes fans into world of Westeros

<p>A man named Jeremiah Caplinger is being tried for his involvement in the January 6, 2020 Capitol building uprising as he scaled a wall on the Capitol grounds and caused damage to public property. The trial, however, has a ‘Game of Thrones’ mention as prosecutors filed a sentencing memorandum in which he used a reference from the popular HBO show, “I chose violence”.</p>

<p>While filing the memorandum, prosecutors explained to the court that this quote was used by a character named Cersei Lannister in the show. They explained, “Cersei Lannister is a fictional character in the HBO television series Game of Thrones. After being confronted by a group of politically-empowered religious zealots, who warn her that if she does not yield to them, ‘There will be violence,’ Cersei Lannister responds, ‘I choose violence.'”</p>

<p>It further explains that Cersei Lannister used “a weapon of mass destruction to blow up one of the largest and most important buildings in the capital city,” which contained “politicians and religious leaders.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“In stating, ‘I choose violence’, Cersei Lannister embraced — and then carried out — mass murder to achieve her political ends,” the memorandum adds. “In the context of Caplinger posting this just two days after January 6, Caplinger’s adoption of this quote is alarming and provides insight into his mental state and intent in storming the Capitol.”&nbsp;</p>

Capitol attack: Prosecutors want serious punishment for man who used 'Game of Thrones' reference

<p>Emmy-winning actor Brian Cox, widely known for his role as Logan Roy in the HBO series `Succession`, recently revealed the reason he was never seen in major franchises such as `Game of Thrones` and `Pirates of the Caribbean`.<br />
<br />
The actor revealed the reason in his new memoir `Putting the Rabbit in the Hat`, reported Variety. Cox turned down the role of King Robert Baratheon in the first season of `GOT`. Fellow UK actor Mark Addy was cast in the role."I`m often asked if I was offered a role in `Game of Thrones` -- reason being that every other bugger was -- and the answer is, yes, I was supposed to be a king called Robert Baratheon, who apparently died when he was gored by a boar in the first season," Cox wrote in the memoir."I know very little about `Game of Thrones` so I can`t tell you whether or not he was an important character, and I`m not going to Google it just in case he was, because I turned it down," he added.<br />
<br />
Revealing the reason behind rejecting the role, he wrote, "Why? Well, `Game of Thrones` went on to be a huge success and everybody involved earned an absolute fortune, of course. But when it was originally offered the money was not all that great, shall we say."He added, "Plus I was going to be killed off fairly early on, so I wouldn`t have had any of the benefits of the long-term effects of a successful series where your wages go up with each passing season. So I passed on it, and Mark Addy was gored by the boar instead."Cox also shared, "I turned my nose up at the part of the Governor in the `Pirates of the Caribbean franchise,` a role that was eventually played by Jonathan Pryce."A role in Disney`s `Pirates` movies would`ve given Cox his second franchise after starring as William Stryker in `X2: X-Men United`.<br />
<br />
Cox said, "The guy who directed `Pirates` was Gore Verbinski, with whom I made `The Ring,` and he`s a lovely chap but I think I blotted my copybook by turning down the Governor. It would have been a money-spinner, but of all the parts in that film, it was the most thankless, plus I would have ended up doing it for film after film and missed out on all the other nice things I`ve done."<br />
<br />
However, there was one more reason why Cox decided to pass on the franchise -- namely, his would-be costar, Johnny Depp."Another thing with `Pirates of the Caribbean` is that it`s very much the `Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow` show, and Depp, personable though I`m sure he is, is so overblown, so overrated," Cox said.<br />
<br />
"I mean, `Edward Scissorhands.` Let`s face it, if you come on with hands like that and pale, scarred-face make-up, you don`t have to do anything. And he didn`t. And subsequently, he`s done even less. But people love him. Or they did love him. They don`t love him so much these days, of course," he added. Cox's memoir 'Putting the Rabbit in the Hat'&nbsp;will debut on January 18.&nbsp;</p>

He added, "Good company." Martin said that he`s also "anticipating" `House of the Dragon` "pretty eagerly," and has already seen "a rough cut" of the premiere episode."Okay, I am hardly objective. And I know a lot of what you will be seeing. (I, um, wrote the book)," he continued.<br />

The author added, "Also ... mum`s the word now, don`t tell anyone... I`ve seen a rough cut of the first episode. And loved it. It`s dark, it`s powerful, it`s visceral... just the way I like my epic fantasy."</p>

George R. R. Martin on 'GOT' prequel after watching rough cut: Dark, powerful, visceral

<p>Geordie Greig was always an odd fit as the editor of The Daily Mail, Britain’s biggest tabloid. Greig — educated at Eton and Oxford, a former editor of the society magazine Tatler, and a friend of writer V.S. Naipaul's and painter Lucian Freud's — is a suave, aristocratic fellow once described by The Observer as “Britain’s best-connected man.” He also opposed Brexit.</p>

<p>When Greig was abruptly ousted this past week in an internal power struggle, it caught both him and London’s media class off guard, setting off a round of lip-smacking gossip worthy of a tabloid headline. But in some ways, it merely signified a return to form for a right-leaning, middlebrow paper that staunchly supports the Conservative Party and led the charge for Brexit over the past two decades.</p>

<p>What makes the upheaval at The Mail reverberate beyond the insular world of Fleet Street is the central role it plays in British politics and society. More so than any other British newspaper, The Mail is the voice of what sociologists call Middle England, a broad section of middle-class readers, predominantly white and socially conservative, most of whom live outside London and generally favor Brexit.</p>

<p>Keeping the affections of these voters is critical for Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his party. So Greig’s dismissal — and his replacement by Ted Verity, an editor viewed as less likely to run critical coverage of the government — is sure to be welcome at No. 10 Downing St., even if, by most accounts, that is not why The Mail’s owner, Jonathan Harmsworth, made the change.</p>

<p>“Geordie Greig was, personally, a Remainer and didn’t see politics through that one lens,” said Alan Rusbridger, a former editor of the left-leaning Guardian. “His Mail had recently been sharply critical of Boris Johnson and his government, causing some alarm in the current government and its ranks of MPs.”</p>

<p>For Johnson, a former journalist who once worked for the pro-Tory Daily Telegraph and edited The Spectator, a less confrontational Mail would be one less headache at a time when his poll ratings have eroded in the glare of a lingering corruption scandal involving Conservative members of Parliament.</p>

<p>It could also give Johnson a muscular ally if he decides in coming weeks to rip up the trade arrangements for Northern Ireland. That decision could prompt a trade war with the European Union, one that would rekindle the anti-Brussels passions that long fueled The Mail and helped set the stage for Britain’s 2016 vote to break away.</p>

<p>“It’s an unknowable question whether Brexit could have been won without The Mail,” said Rusbridger, whose latest book, “News and How to Use It,” explores journalism in the age of Brexit and Donald Trump.</p>

<p>With a handful of exceptions, Britain’s newspapers still firmly tilt to the right. But after nearly two years in which the coronavirus pandemic replaced Brexit as the country’s abiding preoccupation — a crisis that at times seemed to overwhelm the government — Johnson has not been able to count on an easy ride from the news media. The Mail under Greig was especially unforgiving about the perceived “sleaze” factor in government.</p>

<p>The paper aggressively covered the lucrative side jobs taken by Conservative lawmakers. It broke the story of a Conservative Party donor who picked up a bill for 58,000 pounds ($77,000) for the redecorating of Johnson’s Downing Street apartment by his wife, Carrie. (Johnson later reimbursed the cost of what The Mail, perhaps inevitably, nicknamed “Wallpapergate.”)</p>

<p>“There are certain things that really get to a Daily Mail reader, and one is fat cats and people feathering their own nests,” said Julian Petley, a journalism professor at Brunel University in London. “The Mail is right wing but very populist.”</p>

<p>It can also be crusading: In the 1990s, the paper went after a flawed police investigation of the racially motivated killing of a Black teenager, Stephen Lawrence, at a London bus stop. It also campaigned, with some success, to curb the use of plastic bags in Britain.</p>

<p>When Johnson’s aides excluded some journalists from a briefing about the EU in 2020, The Mail’s reporter joined competitors from other papers in walking out in protest. In an editorial comment that aptly summarized its tough-love approach, The Mail said, “This paper is an avid supporter of all he is trying to achieve. But we cannot be an uncritical friend.”</p>

<p>For all of its strengths, The Mail still gleefully traffics in tabloid fodder. Meghan, Prince Harry’s wife, won a privacy ruling against the Sunday paper for publishing a personal letter she sent her father, Thomas Markle. Its lawyers are appealing.</p>

<p>The Mail’s internal politics are at least as rough-and-tumble as its coverage of national politics — and Greig, 60, is a battle-scarred veteran of both. Before taking the top job at The Daily Mail in 2018, he was editor of The Mail on Sunday, which often seemed at war with its sister paper. Although Greig inveighed against Brexit, The Daily Mail was a full-throated champion, under Paul Dacre, its longtime editor and an ardent Brexiteer.</p>

<p>“I was surprised at Geordie Greig being made editor, for his Remain views but also his aristocratic educational background,” said Meera Selva, deputy director of the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford.</p>

<p>Greig’s views, however, did not disqualify him with Harmsworth, 53, who is better known as the Fourth Viscount Rothermere. Executives at the company said Lord Rothermere, whose great-grandfather co-founded The Daily Mail in 1896, wanted Greig to “detoxify the brand” after years in which banging the drum for Brexit had hurt its reputation with readers and advertisers.</p>

<p>In June 2020, less than two years after Greig took over, The Mail surpassed Rupert Murdoch’s Sun as Britain’s largest daily, with a circulation of just under 1 million. But politics poisoned his relationship with Dacre, who stayed on as editor-in-chief of the parent company. He publicly criticized his successor for what he described as diluting The Mail’s pro-Brexit DNA.</p>

<p>Greig declined to discuss his departure, beyond saying in a statement that he looked forward to using the skills learned from “my years at The Mail, which I first joined in 1983 as its most junior reporter on the graveyard shift.” In his statement, Lord Rothermere gave no reason for the shake-up. He praised Greig as a “hugely successful editor” and said Verity was a “Mail journalist to his core.”</p>

<p>People inside the company said Greig was less a victim of politics than of a power struggle in a changing media empire. Verity, whose Mail on Sunday was notably softer on Johnson than The Daily Mail, is an ally of Martin Clarke, who runs Mail Online, the company’s popular, fast-growing website.</p>

<p>Both are close to Dacre, who suffered a setback of his own this past week when he withdrew his name from contention to lead Britain’s communications regulator, Ofcom, despite support from the Johnson government. In a letter to The Times of London, Dacre said the Civil Service had targeted him because of his right-of-center views, calling it his “infelicitous dalliance with the Blob.”</p>

<p>Lord Rothermere is preparing to take the family empire, Daily Mail and General Trust, private. As part of that transition, analysts said, he plans to integrate the daily and Sunday papers, which struggled during the pandemic, and bring Mail Online, which is managed separately, closer to the fold.</p>

<p>“There’s a ‘Game of Thrones’ drama taking place,” said Douglas McCabe, CEO of Enders Analysis, a media research firm in London. “But the key story behind it is this profound strategic rethinking of the company.”</p>

<p>Marylin Manson will have to face 'Game Of Thrones' actress Esmé Bianco's accusation in court. A judge gave Bianco a go-ahead to pursue her sexual assault lawsuit against Manson.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Judge Fernando L Aenlle-Rocha of the US District Court of California denied Manson's plea to dismiss Bianco's claims based on the statute of limitations.<br />
<br />
Manson now has been ordered by the judge to file a formal answer to each of the claims made in Bianco's lawsuit within the coming 14 days.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"A reasonable jury could find that the effects of Warner’s alleged unconscionable acts, including the perceived threat to Plaintiff’s safety, immigration status, and career, persisted years after her last contact with Warner," Aenlle-Rocha wrote in his court address.<br />
<br />
In her original filing, Bianco had stated that she was in a relationship with Manson from 2009 to 2013 and Manson had<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/game-of-thrones-star-esme-bianco-sues-marilyn-manson-for-alleged-rape-abuse-381887"> allegedly raped her around May 2011.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>In an April statement, Bianco said, "As millions of survivors like myself are painfully aware, our legal system is far from perfect. This is why I co-created the Phoenix Act, a law that gives precious additional healing time to thousands of domestic violence survivors. But while I fight for a more just legal system, I am also pursuing my right to demand my abuser be held to account, using every avenue available to me."<br />

<p>Not all’s well for ‘Game of Thrones’ star Kit Harington after the show ended. Two years after the end of the show, the actor who played Jon Snow on the show, addressed how it impacted his mental health.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The ‘GoT’ actor said, “I went through…some mental health difficulties after Thrones and during the end of Thrones, to be honest, and I think it was directly to do with the nature of the show, and what I’ve been doing for years.”</p>

<p>On an episode of SiriusXM’s ‘The Jess Cagle Show’, Kit Harington said he took a break “after Thrones” where he said, “I don’t want to work for a year. I want to really kind of concentrate on myself,'” and added, “and I think I’m really happy I did that.”</p>

<p>Now he feels that his perspective on the show has evolved over time. “Part of the journey since it finished…was just becoming proud of that show, and not running away from it,” he said, “not running away from what it was, and who I played in it, but just owning it and being proud of everything about it.”</p>

<p>“My child is a direct result of Game of Thrones. I still have very, very good friends from that show,” said Kit Harrington. “It did nothing but wonders for me.”</p>

<p>In 2019, Kit had revealed that he entered rehab to address mental health issues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As for ‘Game of Thrones’, the series created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, is based on the fantasy novels by George R.R. Martin. It ran for eight seasons between 2011 and 2019.</p>

<p>'Game of Thrones'&nbsp;actor Esme Bianco filed a lawsuit against US goth rocker Marilyn Manson on Friday setting out graphic allegations of rape, sexual abuse and violence.</p>

<p>According to the papers filed at a California court, Bianco was twice invited to Los Angeles by Manson -- real name Brian Warner -- with the promise of paid work, only to be subjected to acts of sexual violence including being cut, whipped and electrocuted without her consent.</p>

<p>"Mr. Warner raped Ms. Bianco in or around May 2011," the lawsuit alleges.&nbsp; "Mr. Warner committed sexual acts with Ms. Bianco when she was unconscious or otherwise unable to consent" and "also committed sexual battery against Ms. Bianco on multiple occasions," it says.</p>

<p><a href="http://13.235.153.162/entertainment/hollywood/news-targaryens-are-back-new-set-photos-of-matt-smith--emma-d%E2%80%99arcy-from-house-of-the-dragon-filming-381416" hreflang="en">Targaryens are back! New set photos of Matt Smith &amp; Emma D’Arcy from 'House Of The Dragon' filming</a></p>

<p>In a statement to AFP, Manson's lawyer Howard King described the claims as "provably false" and accused Bianco and her attorney of making "outrageous financial demands based on conduct that simply never occurred."</p>

<p>"We will vigorously contest these allegations in court and are confident that we will prevail," King added. Los Angeles police in February confirmed they were investigating domestic violence allegations against the singer between 2009 and 2011. The dates and location of their investigation coincide with Bianco's allegations.</p>

'Game of Thrones' actor Esme Bianco filed a lawsuit against US goth rocker Marilyn Manson on Friday setting out graphic allegations of rape, sexual abuse and violence.

'Game of Thrones' actor Esme Bianco filed a lawsuit against US goth rocker Marilyn Manson on Friday setting out graphic allegations of rape, sexual abuse and violence. According to the papers filed at a California court, Bianco was twice invited to Los Angeles by Manson -- real name Brian Warner -- with the promise of paid work, only to be subjected to acts of sexual violence including being cut, whipped and electrocuted without her consent. "Mr. Warner raped Ms. Bianco in or around May 2011," the lawsuit alleges. "Mr. Warner committed sexual acts with Ms. Bianco when she was unconscious or otherwise unable to consent" and "also committed sexual battery against Ms. Bianco on multiple occasions," it says. Targaryens are back! New set photos of Matt Smith & Emma D’Arcy from 'House Of The Dragon' filming In a statement to AFP, Manson's lawyer Howard King described the claims as "provably false" and accused Bianco and her attorney of making "outrageous financial demands based on conduct that simply never occurred." "We will vigorously contest these allegations in court and are confident that we will prevail," King added. Los Angeles police in February confirmed they were investigating domestic violence allegations against the singer between 2009 and 2011. The dates and location of their investigation coincide with Bianco's allegations.
