After what might be the most memorable run of episodes in the show's history, Game of Thrones Season 5 will come to an end this Sunday. As always, numerous plot strands have been left dangling, and we're curious to see how showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff will cap off the season in a satisfying fashion, while still leaving fans thirsting for more. Is it even possible for them to top the epic White Walker battle of ” Hardhome ,” or the flame-spewing badassery at the end of ” The Dance of Dragons “? We have our doubts, but if they pull it off, it wouldn't be the first time Weiss and Benioff shocked us out of our seats. Sunday's episode is titled “Mother's Mercy,” and we can't help but wonder what which one of GoT's mom's will finally show some real maternal instinct. Will Cersei finally do right by Tommen? Perhaps Dany will manage to re-assemble her entire dragon family. Heck, maybe Gilly will take her son away from the increasingly horrific goings on at Castle Black. Now that the show has officially left the books in the dust plot-wise, there's no telling what might come next. But feel free to check out these pics from the finale and engage in some wild speculation: 1. Cersei Lannister Has Looked Better Cersei’s been in the slammer for the past few episodes. That’ll teach her to hand her power over to religious nut jobs! (And bang her cousin, kill her husband, etc…) 2. Sansa Looks Shocked Sansa appears to be unpleasantly surprised. That’s pretty much how we looked when she married Ramsay. 3. Jaqen H’ghar Jaqen and the creepy hall with all the faces. How come he gets a cool name, and Arya has to be just “A Girl”? 4. The Khaleesi’s Dudes Tyrion, Jorah and Daario. We’re assuming they’re posing for the cover of their debut album. 5. Stannis and Melisandre Spoiler alert: Melisandre is probably all, “Sorry I made you burn your daughter alive. That was totally lame of me.” 6. Conference at Castle Black Jon and Sam hold a powwow. We get the feeling their Night Watch brothers may soon cause them some trouble. View Slideshow
Iggy Azalea is extremely loved by one (fiance Nick Young; watch his proposal now! ) and really hated on by others (those who believe she's a lame excuse for a rapper). But the Australian artist certainly keeps things interesting in the world of music, rocking various looks and releasing catchy songs. We honor the talented star via the following collection of Iggy Azalea photos and we ask readers if they're ready… ready to get Iggy with it, that is! 1. Iggy Azalea at the VMAs Iggy Azalea wore a revealing dress at he 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. What do you think, readers? 2. Iggy Azalea Swimsuit Photo Hello there, Iggy Azalea! Based on this sultry photo, let’s just say Nick Young is a very lucky man. 3. Iggy Azalea: Swimsuit for Instagram Iggy shows off her curves for her Instagram fans. Judging be the comments section, they approve. 4. Iggy Azalea Black Swimsuit Photo One of the many suits Iggy tried on during her recent one-woman Instagram swimwear fashion show.

Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora at the VMAs Rita and Iggy getting down on stage. Their performance was one of the most memorable at the VMAs. View Slideshow
Caitlyn Jenner has made a powerful statement on Twitter. The woman formerly known as Bruce Jenner (who has nearly 2.5 million followers after less than a week on the website!) posted the following photo online this weeked: She included with it the following caption: “Learn from those who have walked the path before you. #TransIsBeautiful #LivingOurTruth #JustTheBeginning.” Based on these words, it’s safe to assume the women pictured with Caitlyn are all transgender individuals as well. This is the first photo not from Jenner’s Vanity Fair spread that she has published on her social media account. Caitlyn, of course, has been ALL over the news since coming out on the cover of that magazine last week. She’s unfortunately been the debate of idiots such as Nancy Grace, who only seem to care about whether or not Jenner has a penis . And she’s continued to be a voice for others in her unique situation, making it clear she hopes to serve as a role model to the transgender community in her trailer for I Am Cait . Look at her talk about her transgender role models in this video: Caitlyn Jenner On Transgender Role Models Here is a look, meanwhile, at the transformation of Bruce Jenner into Caitlyn Jenner. Pretty amazing stuff, wouldn’t you say? View Slideshow: 29 Photos of Bruce Jenner’s Transition to Caitlyn Jenner

Let's face it: it'll be tough to top Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 8 . Those wacky White Walkers and their undead minions delivered one of the most unforgettable action sequences the show has ever pulled off, and with just two episodes remaining, it's hard to imagine anything in the next two episodes will blow our hair back quite the same way. Of course, it wouldn't be the first time showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff shocked us out of our seats just when we were beginning to think they were out of tricks for the season. With the show beating the books to the punch on big, climactic moments like the first meeting between Tyrion and Daenerys , truly no one knows what will happen next for the first time since GoT premiered. In a season that's already packed so many surprises (too many, according to some book-readers), it would be foolish to try and guess what will happen next. That said, we believe we can safely say that if you think this season will have a happy ending for the newest Lord Commander of the Night's Watch…then you know nothing, Jon Snow. 1. Jon in the Snow Jon looking pensive in the snow. We get the feeling his future at Castle Black won’t be too bright. 2. Davos and Shireen Davos and Shireen share a moment. Screw Stannis; we want Shireen to get the Iron Throne! 3. Arya Stark…Or Whatever Her Name is Now Arya Stark continues her weird storyline in her Braavos. We’re pretty sure she’s gonna be able to change her face soon, which is pretty badass. 4. Melisandre: Hot in the Snow Winter is finally coming to Westeros. But of course, Melisandre remains hot. 5. Daenerys and Hizdahr Zo Loraq The Khaleesi and her husband-to-be. She should reconsider just so she doesn’t have to remember how to spell dude’s name. 6. Sam, Jon, Snow Sam and Jon Snow enjoy some of the North’s lovely weather. Looks like Ned Stark was a better weatherman than we thought. View Slideshow
Verne Troyer no longer wants to be known as Mini-Me or as the man at the center of the Verne Troyer sex tape . Instead, apparently, he wants to be known as the guy who films semi-violent and unexpected happenings at international airports. That's exactly what the former Austin Powers star has done above, as Troyer was heading for a flight to Ohio this week when he witnessed a guy break through TSA security. He whipped out his cellphone, he made his way throughout he crowd on his motorized scooter and he captured nearly the entire incident on camera. Check out the video to hear the police warn the dude that some serious tasering is about to occur and also to be impressed by just how many people still recognize Verne Troyer.
It came as no surprise many years ago when viewers gave the Kim Kardashian sex tape a positive review. The footage featured Ray J doing an admirable job behind the camera as he settled down behind his then-girlfriend and gave her a solid pounding. We understood why people liked it But the Kim Kardashian selfie book ? Critics are actually heaping praise upon this ridiculous money grab?!? Somehow, some way, for some reason… yes! Here is a look at what a few respected publications have had to say about Kim Kardashian Selfish : What makes Selfish so crazily engrossing is the way it breaks down, image by nearly identical image, the precise, self-determined path of Kim Kardashian’s rise from socialite to household name – and the way that over the course of hundreds of consecutive selfies, the evolution of her public and private selves gets fully entangle – Slate It should be dreadful, but it isn’t. Surprisingly, it’s a rather enchanting document of someone having a jetset life (sample caption: ‘I was in Africa in a diamond mine’) and not being overly protective about her image (one page is devoted entirely to photographs of her with sunburn after she fell asleep wearing sunglasses). – The Telegraph A look through the pages of Selfish reveals that what may seem insipid and overblown initially is actually a far smarter, more calculated window into the life and times of one of our culture’s most relevant public figures through the simple, albeit absurd, art of documenting herself. – Complex What Selfish depicts, more than anything else, is the labor that goes into beauty…. And with her candor about who she is and what it takes to make her that way, she might also, against all odds, move us forward. – The Atlantic View Slideshow: 29 Kim Kardashian Selfies That Nearly Broke the Internet
Do you follow Anna Kendrick on Twitter? If not … The heck is wrong with you?! You’re in luck, because her feed is so hilarious, she’s landed a book deal to pen funny and autobiographical thoughts based upon it! View Slideshow: 13 Awesome Anna Kendrick Photos If you watched Anna Kendrick lip sync battle John Krasinski Thursday night, well, just imagine her channeling that kind of awesomeness in book form. Touchstone will publish the tome sometime in 2016, and it’s worth pre-ordering now. You can’t even do that, because she hasn’t written it. But we would! Anna released a statement about her new project : “I’m excited to publish my first book, and because I get uncomfortable when people have high expectations, I’d like to use this opportunity to showcase my ineptitude, pettiness, and the frequency with which I embarrass myself.” “And while many of my female inspirations who have become authors are incredibly well-educated and accomplished comedy writers, I’m very, very funny on Twitter, according to Buzzfeed and my mom, so I feel like this is a great idea.” “Quick question: are run-on sentences still frowned upon? Wait, is ending a sentence with a preposition still frowned upon? I mean, upon frowned? D***it!” Great stuff. And for one example of how funny she is on Twitter – seriously, follow her! – she recently fired off this gem re: the lack of male nudity on Game of Thrones: ” Madonna kissed Drake , Hillary’s running for president , but HBO STILL hasn’t shown this dude’s dick?? #FeministPriority” If that kind of insight doesn’t make you want to buy Anna’s book, well, Bill O’Reilly probably has another one coming out in a few months.
