We've known for quite some time that the final two seasons of Game of Thrones would be truncated affairs, but still, we can't help feeling that the show's seventh season finale is upon us far too soon. Fewer episodes has meant a faster pace, which – though fun in some cases – has resulted in some pretty glaring inconsistencies in others. (Based on travel times, Westeros is now apparently the size of Providence, Rhode Island.) Fortunately, the show is in a position to deliver its most explosive season finale to date, which should help placate fans who are feeling slighted. Check out the first photos from “The Wolf and the Dragon” below, and watch Game of Thrones online at TV Fanatic to get caught up in time for Sunday night's installment. 1. Tyrion and Jon Look Concerned Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow look worried. Maybe, like everyone else, they’re wondering why the hell the Khaleesi isn’t in any of this week’s promotional photos. 2. Sansa Looks Pissed Which has pretty much been her default state all season. Living with a sister who might want you dead can have that effect. 3. Littlefinger Looks Smug He’s probably the reason Sansa looks so pissed. The man has many talents, and irritating the hell out of everyone is certainly one of them. 4. Bran Sees Things We’re kind of surprised Team Stark has put Bran to better use this season. Seems like an all-knowing oracle would be a good thing to have around. 5. Cersei Is Pregnant And yes, she’ll continue to use that fact to her strategic advantage. She didn’t get to a spot on the Iron Throne by being soft. 6. Theon is Somehow Still Alive If you can call that living. Anyone else involuntarily shudder whenever this poor bastard’s onscreen? View Slideshow
In her brand new song, Taylor Swift takes aim at famous rivals such as Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Katy Perry. But it’s a different A-Lister who now has a beef with the artist. Or, perhaps we should more accurately say, it’s a different artist’s fan base. On Friday afternoon, Swift unveiled a music video teaser for “Look at What You Made Me Do,” two days ahead of when the full video will premiere at the MTV Video Music Awards. You can check it out HERE . It doesn’t reveal very much. But it has revealed enough to severely anger the Beyhive, the loyal group of Beyonce fans who worship at the feet of the world’s most popular solo singer… … and who have now set their sights on Swift. Taylor Swift – “Look at What You Made Me Do” In one frame from her video teaser, Swift is dressed in a black leotard and fishnet tights while leading a group of male dancers who are all rocking similar looks. The footage appears to be set in an ornate ballroom. Critics, meanwhile, are pointing to Beyonce’s Lemonade visual album as a comparison. In the video for the Beyonce track “Sorry,” the superstar and Serena Williams dance in the halls of a lavish Louisiana plantation… while wearing – you guessed it! – black leotards. Queen Bey also donned the look with a contingent of similarly dressed backup dancers during her performance of “Formation” at Super Bowl 50. One fan tweeted side-by-side screen shots of Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” teaser and video from Lemonade, captioning it “Lemonade and Minute Maid.” Ouch. That’s harsh. But is it fair? Added Beyonce fan added: “Taylor Swift wanna be Beyoncé so bad.” Taylor has received A LOT backlash for this new single, which many Internet users believe to be petty and simply not very catchy. It also has a very dark tone. Others, meanwhile, thought back to Swift’s infamous feud with Kardashian and West and accused the singer of “playing the victim.” This is a charge Swift has faced for years, having often sang about being wronged by ex-boyfriends in some way, shape or form. This is different, though. This is Taylor Swift daring to cross the Beyhive. We’d be a tad frightened if we were her. Are these criticisms justified? Do you think Swift really did copy Beyonce? Or is this just a coincidence? And it Swift receiving an unfair rap? Sound off below and also answer this question: Are you excited for her new album?

Talk about a total shocker! Just kidding — literally anyone with the tiniest bit of sense could have seen this coming. Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer, those Chattanooga lovebirds who just got married back in May in that romantic parking lot wedding , may be headed for a split. We know, we know, it’s tough to hear. But honestly, if Ryan is on Tinder asking women for vagina pics , maybe this is for the best. According to a report from The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, things are so bad between them that Ryan has left their home and blocked Mackenzie’s humber. “This was going on for a while, even before the Tinder stuff broke,” a source explains. “But he has not stayed at home for the past few days.” Not only that, but he’s been telling multiple Teen Mom OG crew members that he plans on filing for divorce. And before you roll your eyes at those dramatics, the source insists that “he did not just say it in passing.” “It was mentioned multiple times to multiple people on the crew.” Since he was obviously super, super high at the time of the wedding, couldn’t he just get the thing annulled? That definitely seems possible, right? While he’s having these issues with his brand new wife, he’s been living back at his parents’ house. “They told Ryan he could stay at their house while he and Mackenzie were having issues,” the source says, “but they said if he was coming for other reasons, they aren’t having it.” … Other reasons like drugs? But while it might be easy to blame all of their issues on Ryan, it sounds like Mackenzie isn’t exactly a walk in the park, either. The Ashley’s sources claim that she’s been getting pretty greedy with MTV lately. “Mackenzie requested that MTV pay for her and her friends to go on vacation to ‘get away from it all’ and film, of course.” Apparently “MTV considered it, but yesterday they decided against it and said they will not pay for it.” Looks like we may finally know why this 20-year-old divorced mother agreed to marry Ryan after he endangered their lives by driving high , huh? Those sweet, sweet Teen Mom paychecks. It’s absolutely ridiculous that she’d think MTV would pay for a vacation for her and her friends — seriously, who cares about watching a Teen Mom’s baby daddy’s wife filming by themselves? And Mackenzie’s greed isn’t only about the vacation. As a source says, “The crew has been filming Mackenzie over the last week or so, give or take.” “She has not made it easy and at times she’s refused to talk about the Ryan drama on-camera, but has stated that she will talk if they pay her more.” These Teen Mom insiders say that they’re not sure if they did pay her more, or even how much of all this delicious drama will make it to the show. But the drama has been filmed, and that’s good enough for now. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Couples: RANKED From Worst to First!

Kylie Jenner … well, the girl has been a little difficult lately. Or, at the very least, it’s been difficult to find any redeeming qualities about her lately. Besides, you know, her hot bod and all. It’s not that Kylie has ever been super likeable or anything — and that’s not shade, that’s a fact — but things have gotten worse since her reality show, Life of Kylie, began airing. In many scenes in the show, she comes off like an ungrateful, whiny brat, to be honest. Remember that time that she explained that she felt like an outcast ? Even though she’s insanely popular and beloved by youths all around the world? Or how about the time that she whined about how everyone copied her fun hair colors — that was tough to watch, wasn’t it? There was also that time that she laid in bed moaning about how the tabloids dared to discuss her dating life. How dare they? It’s not like she’s intentionally putting her personal life out there for everyone to … oh, wait, that’s exactly what she’d doing. It’s just exhausting, and the show just began airing recently. But, judging by this new interview she did with V magazine to accompany those “nude” photos , she’s not saving all the complaining for television! About those photos, Kylie says “That was actually my first super nude shoot. I always post sexy pictures, but have never really gone nude.” Though the shoot is pretty scandalous, and you definitely get an eye-full of bare boob underneath sheer lingerie, we’d argue that she’s still not “super nude” in the pics. It’s still cool though, so she gets a pass so far. But then she’s asked about her many, many wigs, and she says “All I know is that when I go into weave stores, they have colors that I’ve worn, which is cool.” And we already have to stop her. Girl, stop acting like you invented blue hair. Just stop. It’s embarrassing. There’s no denying that she’s a trendsetter, but so are many, many other celebrities who’ve dared to rock hair that isn’t blonde, brown, or black. Still, she says that “Back then, I dyed my hair blue and teal and other colors. I would do meet and greets and every other girl — even guys — had teal hair.” “They’d be like, ‘I did this because of you! Everyone has teal hair now!'” In addition to inventing teal hair, Kylie is also responsible for the careers of countless rappers and singers. “Other artists shout me out that I’ve never met before,” she explains, “like, ‘I owe this to Kylie for putting this on her Snapchat.'” “And meeting new artists in person and them saying, ‘This was a big help from you, you playing my song’ — it’s just really cool.” She then tells the story behind one of her many tiny tattoos — the one on her hip of the phonetic spelling of the word “sanity.” She says that when she got the tattoo “that I felt a little bit like I was going insane. Or, I was going to.” It was right about the time she turned 18 when she got the tattoo, and to be fair, it did seem to be a pretty intense time for her. “I thought about it for a while,” she adds. “I just like the word ‘sanity’ — just stay sane through it all.” “A lot of young stars who grow up in the spotlight have a really hard time. I didn’t want that to be me.” And speaking of the spotlight, it sounds like she’s getting a little sick of it. “I just want a lot of property,” Kylie says about her future retirement. “That seems like the best life ever: horses and a farm and a garden.” It sounds like she might even pull a Michael Jackson and get a house in Bahrain! Or, well, she says “I don’t know about Bahrain, but I would be down for something. It would be a good feeling to just live a normal life for a second.” “I don’t know what it’s like to not be in the spotlight,” she continues. “That’s normal to me. There’s nothing you can do about it.” “There are so many great things about life, I’m just trying to focus on that.” View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Selfies: A Kandid Kollection But even though it really sounds like she’s tired of being famous, she admits that “I do have a guy that follows me all the time. I just never show anyone the footage.” “Maybe one day.” Ugh, Kylie, who even has time for this?

So hey, have you heard Taylor Swift’s new song , “Look What You Made Me Do,” yet? If you have ears and internet access, the answer is almost certainly “yes.” Taylor Swift – “Look at What You Made Me Do” It seems a little dramatic, but the song definitely did take the world by storm when Taylor released it late Thursday night, and for the past couple of days it’s all many people have been talking about. And that’s because it’s a really, really weird song . It’s much darker than any of her older music, and it makes it clear that she plans on releasing her new album, Reputation, with guns blazing. It’s also like 99% proven that the song is about Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. The proof lies in one of the first lyrics of the song — the part where Taylor sings “I don’t like your tilted stage,” which seems like a pretty direct reference to the tilted stage Kanye used on his Saint Pablo tour. Another interesting little tidbit is the lyric video’s repeated use of snake imagery. Let’s not forget, Kim was the first person to refer to Taylor as a snake. She did that shortly after sharing those amazing receipts on Snapchat, which, of course, kicked off the new chapter of the ongoing Taylor vs. Kanye feud in the first place. It all started because after Kanye and Taylor made up after that incident at the VMAs all those years ago, he released his song “Famous,” which contained a lyric about her. A lyric that went like “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex. Why? I made that bitch famous.” Taylor lost her mind after that, going on rants about how people were trying to tear her down and generally playing the victim. Which would make sense — but Kim insisted that Taylor knew about the lyric, and that she’d approved of it. Then, in an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kim went so far as to release a recording she’d made of the phone call between Kanye and Taylor in which Taylor approved the lyric. For good measure, she shared the recording on Snapchat, too. According to Taylor, her issue was that Kanye referred to her as “that bitch” in the song, and she didn’t approve that specific part. But the damage was done. Shortly after that, Taylor essentially went into hiding , and she’s just new resurfacing with this new song. So basically, it looks like the feud is back and bigger than ever. And, according to a new report from Radar Online, Kim knows just how to deal with Taylor this time. Before getting too upset, a source says that Kim asked friends “What are her lyrics even about? Is the whole song about Kanye? And then when most people confirmed that yes, the whole song does seem to be about Kanye, she decided it was “pathetic.” Well, fair. But “Kim wants Kanye to be the one to respond if they do anything. She plans to be above it all and let him be the one to do or say anything.” Judging by another report, this one from Hollywood Life, it sounds like Kanye is more than prepared to handle the issue. “Kanye is clearly pissed over the song,” their source claims. View Slideshow: 8 People Who Don’t Totally Love Taylor Swift “When it comes to Kanye he lives in the music world and doesn’t want anyone to have a one up on him and this track is clearly going to be responded to.” “Taylor hasn’t heard the last of Kanye’s wrath,” the insider reveals. Can’t wait!
