How can you tell when Saturday Night Live is having a good season? It’s easy to peg when SNL is in a slump or in transition; all you have to do is say, “who the hell is that guy?” after tuning in and seeing a new cast member who is still figuring it out, or… Read more »

Even if you've never read George R.R. Martin's a A Song of Ice and Fire series, you're probably aware that the Game of Thrones showrunners have taken some serious liberties in adapting their source material. Some of the changes make perfect sense and were entirely expected (A 13-year-old Daenerys would've made for some pretty uncomfortable scenes in season one.), whereas others took hardcore fans by surprise. (Is Sansa Stark really marrying Ramsay Bolton ?!) Here's a rundown of some of the biggest changes between the books and the wildly popular show. Obviously, spoilers lie ahead: 1. Worst. Fiance. Ever. In the books, Ramsay marries a friend of Sansa Stark’s, believing her to be Arya Stark. (Yeah, it’s complex). On the show, the writers chose to simplify things and raise the dramatic stakes by having the notorious sadist marry Sansa, instead. Might be good news for the audience, but it’s TERRIBLE news for poor Sansa. 2. THAT Scene Next to Joffrey’s Body One of GoT’s most controversial scenes showed what appeared to be Jaime Lannister raping his sister (and lover) next to the body of their dead son, Joffrey. In the book, the sex is consensual…though still pretty darn disturbing. 3. More Deaths Mean Fewer Actors to Pay! Barristan and Mance lost their lives this season, yet remain alive in the world of the books. The same can be said of Bran’s friend Jojen Reed in season four. Of course, in other worldly Westeros, you can never completely rule out the possibly of a return. In the books, the slain Catelynn Tully returns as the zombie-like Lady Stoneheart hell-bent on avenging her son’s death. That obviously hasn’t happened yet on the show, but we’re holding out hope. 4. Tyrion Lannister: Disfigured No More! In the books, Tyrion is profoundly disfigured at the Battle of Blackwater. On GoT, he’s simply left with a cool scar. Peter Dinklage explained the decision in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying, They’d have to [digitally paint] over my face in every frame, and that’s costly and time consuming. I think a scar solves everything.” 5. Robb’s Wife Doesn’t Lose Her Life In the books, Robb Stark marries a young nurse named Jeyne Westerling after he sleeps with her and feels guilty about it. On the show he marries Talisa Maegyr following a slightly longer romance. A pregnant Talisa gets stabbed to death at the Red Wedding. As far as we know, Jeyne is still alive in the books. 6. A Tale of Two Reeks In both the books and the show, Theon sacks Winterfell under orders from his father. In the books, however, he’s assisted by a hygenically-challenged prisoner named Reek…who eventually betrays him and reveals that he’s actually Ramsay Snow. In Martin’s version, Theon disappears for the next three books. In GoT, we get every gruesome detail of his torture. View Slideshow

The actors’ on HBO’s most-watched series tend to really disappear into their roles. So much so, in fact, that many Game of Thrones actors look completely different in real life than they do on the show. Of course, most of the folks who currently populate Westeros didn’t get their start in the Seven Kingdoms. For the sake of believability, producers made an effort to avoid mega-famous A-listers when casting GoT but whether you realize it or not, you’ve seen some of your favorite sers, maesters and Wildlings in previous projects: 13 Game of Thrones Stars in Earlier Roles 1. Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister These days, Peter Dinklage is best known as fan-favorite Tyrion Lannister. Some GoT actors’ previous roles are sure to shock you (Grand Maester Pycelle was in Star Wars ?!), while others are common knowledge amongst hardcore fans (The two actresses who appeared in Harry Potter and GoT should both be dubbed Queen of the Fantasy Nerds). So jump into the gallery above to find out why Tywin Lannister looks so damn familiar. You’ll be armed with all the information you’ll need to impress/annoy your friends during this Sunday’s season finale. And, of course, if you need to catch up in time for the conclusion of season four, you can always watch Game of Thrones online at TV Fanatic. Hopefully, it’ll help you forget about the sight of Ned Stark in a dress.

Is Jennifer Aniston pregnant at last? For real this time? The actress has talked about having children for years, and celebrity gossip magazines have impregnated her roughly 392 times over the past decade. It’s constant tabloid fodder and never true. So shat makes us think that she may actually be with child now, and prepping to start a family with Justin Theroux? This photo! See Aniston’s “baby bump” for yourself: Too bad it’s an old photo. Nice try there, In Touch! A new report from that fine publication claims that Jennifer, 45, and Justin, 42, are finally expecting their first child, and that she’s four months pregnant. Oh, and guess what, it’s a girl! Congratulations! “Sources” close to Justin and Jennifer “revealed” that the happy couple are already thinking of baby names and designing a nursery in their home. She is hoping for “all-natural” pregnancy with no pain medications or epidurals, but “all that matters to her now is to bring a healthy baby girl into the world.” “Jen can’t wait to meet her little angel.” Jennifer Aniston is Pregnant! 1. Jennifer Aniston Pregnant, Alone Jennifer Aniston is pregnant and alone. That does not sound like a good combination. As for baby girl names ? They’re leaning towards Philippa, as they believe Pippa is the cutest nickname for their little miracle baby. That part we can’t dispute. The rest of this report? Very much disputable. Her alleged baby bump, whatever it looks like, has supposedly become “nightmare for the wardrobe people, who are having a harder time covering [it].” She could also just be wearing tighter clothes. Bottom line? Until the actress herself says she’s knocked up, which may be never, we’ve learned not to believe it after the deluge of false reports (above). Nothing fake about these pics though. Nothing: 15 Hottest Pics of Jennifer Aniston 1. Call Me! Don’t worry, Jennifer Aniston. Following this spread in GQ, you’ll be receiving non-stop calls from men around the world.

Lady Gaga may have sung about the paparazzi early in her career, but from now on she’ll only be serenading paps who follow her strict instructions. According to the New York Post , Gaga has started issuing demands to photo agencies , giving them exclusives in exchange for their promise to Photoshop her pics according to her specifications. Photographers at a Gaga event last week were reportedly told to “smooth out her jaw line and thin her arms” as well as “smooth out and thin her legs.” So much for “born this way!” Some photographers and event planners are getting fed up, with one coordinator anonymously describing Gaga as a “control freak.” Others don’t seem to mind the demands and are likely grateful for the exclusives. Kevin Mazur – a photographer who gained sole rights to photograph Gaga’s final show at the Roseland Ballroom – says similar demands aren’t all that uncommon. “It’s like any other artist I work with and it’s very minimal because we want to get the photos out there right away,” said Mazur. “She caters to the paparazzi like no other artist I’ve seen.” Sounds like someone wants to keep getting those exclusives! But not every celebrity shares Gaga’s view on photo enhancement. Recently, singer Lorde called out a Photoshopped image of herself and tweeted it, along with this message to her fans: “Be proud of who you are… flaws and all.” Words to live by, and clearly not ones that a lot of people out there take to heart, whether it’s celebrity gossip sites or huge companies selling products. Check out some flagrant Photoshop nightmares below: 11 Really Terrible Examples of Photoshop Open Slideshow 1.

I want a Dancing With the Stars baby!” “You’re adorable! C’mon, who doesn’t want this?” Erin Andrews ‘ questioning didn’t go over so well. “Oh my God,” Peta replied, as she wiped her brow uncomfortably. Maslow added: “You can’t have a baby while you’re dancing, alright? So that’s not gonna happen.” Romance rumors first began when the Australian dancer, 27, and Big Time Rush singer, 23, were paired together in the show’s first week in march. A then-shocked Murgatroyd, blushing visibly, then revealed on the program that, “I actually met James once before for dinner … we kind of hit it off.” “I thought he was a good looking guy and then he went away on tour for two weeks and I didn’t see him until he walked into the studio,” she continued. Maslow said at the time, “Would I take her on another date? Yeah, she’s a really cool girl. But right now we are both here for the same reason – we want to win.” But let’s be honest … they’re cute together. Dancing With the Stars Season 18 Episode 4 Performances Open Slideshow 1.
