Hannelore Elsner, German Film and TV Star, Dies at 76

Steve Golin Dies: Anonymous Content CEO & Oscar-Winning Producer Was 64

The revered film and TV producer, who won the 2016 Best Picture Oscar for Spotlight, was 64. Golin was a cancer survivor but the cause of his death has not been disclosed at this time. His loss will be felt far and wide within the business.

Quite simply Golin, who also produced Eternal Sunshine Of the Spotless Mind, was a towering figure in the independent film and TV space. The multi-disciplinary and innovative companies he created became models for aspiring film and TV producers and managers who wanted to go beyond the status quo. It’s rare to find producers who excel both in film and TV but Golin was one of them. And he was even more than that. Both firms he launched became an attractive proposition for investors,

How 1 of Bran's Powers Could Change the Course of Game of Thrones Season 8
The only Game of Thrones character who's more mysterious than the Night King is Bran Stark. Since he inherited the position of the Three-Eyed Raven, he's been . . . well, "weird" is really the only way to put it. According to the last remaining Stark son, he's now the keeper of humanity's memories. But we know from the previous Three-Eyed Raven that there's a bit more to his powers than just an eerie ability to know everything that has ever happened. Bran can also travel through time - he may even be able to see the future - and if he can properly harness his powers, then he should be able to take other people back to the past as well.

Bran's now-deceased mentor takes him back in time on more than one occasion. During one trip, he gets to see his Aunt Lyanna and a young Hodor in Winterfell. On another jaunt through time,

Game of Thrones: Which Starks Are Actually Buried in the Crypts of Winterfell?
As the battle against the White Walkers looms on Game of Thrones, the cast are quickly splitting into two factions: the warriors who plan to fight on the front lines, and the noncombatants who will stay inside until the battle is through. The latter group is headed to the only hiding place they can find: the crypts of Winterfell, buried beneath the Starks' castle. The crypts have already hosted some of the most important moments of the season so far; most notably, it's where both Jon and Daenerys learn the truth about Jon's parentage. Throughout the catacombs, there are statues of generations of dead Starks, but not all of them are actually entombed there.

Who's Not There?

As we all know, the most recent generation of Starks die mostly brutal deaths far from Winterfell, so their bodies definitely were not honored with entombment at the family home. To recap: Ned is beheaded in King's Landing,

Game of Thrones: A Reminder of the Oath That Jaime and Brienne Made to Catelyn Stark
Warning: spoilers for the latest episode of Game of Thrones ahead!

The final season of Game of Thrones has treated us to a number of emotional reunions and tense introductions between characters we've anxiously waited to meet. Having such a large number of important characters in the same location means a lot of callbacks to the earlier seasons of Game of Thrones and also serves to remind us of exactly which pieces needed to fall into place to bring everyone to Winterfell before the great battle against the dead. One such moment occurs in the very beginning of season eight's second episode, when Jaime Lannister faces his many wrongs in a trial stacked against him.

It was expected that the former head of the Kingsguard would have to deal with the wrath of the Dragon Queen. When Daenerys brings up his crimes against her family, Sansa speaks up as well,

Scarlett Johansson and Brie Larson Dish on Cringe-Worthy First Kisses
First kisses are sometimes worth forgetting.  Such seems to be the case for Brie Larson, who apparently can't remember whether her first lip-lock took place on screen or behind the cameras.  "I don't know what that says about who I was kissing?" she told Ellen DeGeneres and Avengers: Endgame co-star Scarlett Johansson on Tuesday's show.  "I guess I blocked it out. Does that mean it was bad?" Larson wondered. "It doesn't mean it was good. It definitely wasn't good then." The Captain Marvel star also shared she was too nervous to play Spin the Bottle as a kid.  Her co-star's experience was just...

Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Prince Harry made their annual appearance at Easter church service on Sunday morning.

Game of Thrones: Apparently Podrick Has a Gorgeous Voice, but Was That Actually Him Singing?
Among the many emotional things that happen in the second episode of Game of Thrones season eight, one of the most charged moments comes right after Lady Brienne becomes Ser Brienne, a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, thanks to a ceremony performed by Jaime Lannister.

Gathering together on what, for many of our favorite characters, will likely be the last night of their lives, Tyrion asks the group sitting before him if anyone knows a song. The camera pans to Davos, Brienne, and Tormund, and back to Tyrion, before Podrick Payne starts singing a haunting tune, "Jenny of Oldstones." And damn, if I wasn't as taken aback in that moment as Tyrion is that the young squire has had that set of pipes on him all along! As it turns out, Daniel Portman, the actor who plays Podrick, was actually singing in the scene.
