Drew Barrymore: Mother of Dragons Photo Rules the Seven Kingdoms!

With her permanent grin and sunny disposition, Drew Barrymore may not strike as you the most likely Game of Thrones fan, but apparently the mother of two sees something of herself in Emilia Clarke’s badass Khaleesi. Barrymore gave birth to her second daughter  in April and while she passed up the opportunity to name her kids Rhaegal and Viserion (which would’ve been awesome) she made up for it by posting this photo of herself, her adorable kids, and a shirt every mother should own: Yes, Drew even manages a Khaleesi-esque scowl, as though she were facing down the masters of Meereen rather than posing for a hilarious photo.  This pic has earned a spot next to the inspired Game of Thrones-The O.C. mash-up as one of our favorite unexpected GoT pairings of the day. We’re sure tomorrow will bring a new batch of brilliance straight out of Westeros. So far this season, the seven gods of the Internet have already blessed us with Game of Thrones meets Law & Order: Law & Order: Game of Thrones GoT in the land of Super Mario: Game of Thrones-Mario Brothers Credits And, of course, GoT explained by a stoned Snoop Dogg and Seth Rogen: Seth Rogen and Snoop Dogg: Game of Thrones Recap If you still need to catch up before Sunday’s season finale, you can watch Game of Thrones online at TV Fanatic.  And for those who are caught up and in no fear of spoilers, check out our list of GoT’s most shocking deaths in the gallery below.

Lana Del Rey Wishes She Was Dead, Glamorizes Drug Addiction in Bizarre Interview

Lana Del Rey has never exactly been a ball of sunshine (except when she performed as Lizzie Grant in her first attempt at a singing career, but that’s a different story). With comments she made in a recent interview with The Guardian , however, Lana’s taken her gloomy disposition to a troubling new level. “I wish I was dead already,” says Lana early in the conversation. Things somehow get darker from there, with the singer listing Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse as two of her idols, and seeming to believe she can best emulate them by dying prematurely. When the interviewer (sensibly) encourages her not to say such things, Lana – sounding very much like a morose teen – argues that she really means it. “I do!” she exclaims. “I don’t want to have to keep doing this but I am.” When the interviewer prompts Lana to explain what she means by “doing this,” she elaborates, “Everything. That’s just how I feel. If it wasn’t that way then I wouldn’t say it.” It’s strange to imagine these words coming from the pouty lips of a wildly popular artist who looks young and beautiful without a drop of makeup . It’s particularly unexpected since, by all accounts, Lana lives a life of moderation, and her departed heroes both died as direct results of their demons and addictions. Then again, Lana recently sang at the Kimye wedding , which we imagine would be a uniquely soul-crushing experience. We kid. But in all seriousness, here’s hoping Lana is either playing up her damaged chanteuse persona in order to promote her album…or planning to seek out the help she clearly needs ASAP.

Jenny McCarthy Engagement Ring: Not Small!

Jenny McCarthy is engaged to Donnie Wahlberg, as we reported yesterday. Suffice it to say, he didn’t skimp when it came time to put a ring on it. The sometimes controversial 41-year-old View co-host her massive yellow sapphire bling on the morning talk show. Check it out from a couple of angles: Daniel Arik, the owner of Newport Jewelers, tells E! that he was commissioned to craft the ring specifically for Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg : “Donnie was referred to us by a good friend. He came in just before St. Patrick’s Day. He had an idea of what he wanted and was part of the design process.” “When he first came in, we showed him a few rings and he chose bits and pieces from each ring that he liked, we then combined what he liked and created a custom ring.” The color was a given because, well, “Jenny wanted yellow.” As for the finished product? “The ring is over 10 carats .” “The band is 18-karat white gold although you can’t see the band because it’s covered with diamonds. We did a custom basket for the sapphire.” “There is a row of diamonds around the center and from the side view there is a custom made gallery of diamonds. He was blown away, he absolutely loved it.” We imagine she did as well. Just a hunch we have. Donnie likely won’t have as much input when it comes to the pro-vaccine celebrity’s wedding dress, but here are some ideas she might want to consider: 22 Celebrity Wedding Dresses We Love Open Slideshow 1.

Jason Wahler Speaks on Philip Seymour Hoffman, Perils of Addiction

The Hills’ Jason Wahler is the latest star to speak publicly about Philip Seymour Hoffman’s tragic death and their own struggles with hard core drug addiction. Wahler, best known as the bad boy beau of Lauren Conrad , opened up about his past and urged critics to realize that addiction is “more than meets the eye.” “A few years ago, I would host parties at my house in L.A. where there would be 50-100 people raging out of control,” writes the former reality star . “While everyone thought I was enjoying the party as much as they were, I was secretly going into the master bathroom and snorting as much coke and drinking as much alcohol as I could.” “When I was done, I would grab a beer and get back into the party as if nothing happened.” “When I heard of Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death , it brought me right back to those days of partying where my addiction was so bad that I didn’t care who was around.” He goes on to add: “I didn’t care how loud the music was, or how fancy the party was. It wasn’t about the party at all … all I cared about was using and escaping reality even if it was by myself in a bathroom.” Now 27 years old, Jason Wahler has publicly addressed his alcohol addiction before, and appeared on Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew in 2010. 21 Shocking Celebrity Deaths Open Slideshow 1.

After Hoffman was found dead with 65 heroin bags found in his apartment, Wahler felt the need to speak up and defend those critical of the Oscar winner. “I immediately began seeing comments all over the Internet about Hoffman’s reported overdose – remarks to the effect of ‘it’s his own fault,'” he wrote. “I truly believe that addiction is preventable, but I also know that it can get so complex that addicts won’t go get help, but instead cry out for it.” “I have witnessed just how close-minded some people can be when it comes to addiction,” says Wahler, who has six alcohol-related arrests to his credit. “Combined with the passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman, it only drives me to keep pushing to raise awareness,” he continued. “It’s my hope that his passing isn’t in vain. His goal, he says, is to “educate more people about how important it is to not only get into treatment if necessary, but also to continually stay connected to prevent relapse.”
