Jon Snow And Daenerys Finally Get It On In A Boat And Twitter Climaxed To A Hilarious Peak

Aug 292017

The sexual tension between Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen had been going on for far too long. Too many hints and too many side-glances later, they finally got it on in a rocking boat. As fans who invested a little too much in their brief flirting, we were ecstatic it was finally happening but were bummed with how it happened. Was it just us, or was the scene too awkward and hasty? And Jon and Dany don’t even know they are related yet! Where’s the passion, guys?!

Picture this: Bran’s voice talks about Jon Snow’s parents, as Lyanna Stark gives birth to Snow under a very bloodied sheet, cut to Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen on the brink of a climax.

The excitement spilled over to Twitter where GoT fans had mixed reactions:

Beyoncé & Jay Z's Journey To A Billion Dollar Empire Is All About Hard Work & Superstardom

Celebrities

Aug 292017

Beyoncé and Jay Z have been creating magic since years now. Together the couple has established a billion dollar empire now their net worth is $1.16 billion; their joint earnings have made them richer and more powerful. When Forbes released their list of America’s richest self-made women (2017), Beyoncé found her place at number 46, with a net worth of approx $350 million, while Madonna still holds her position strong at number 32 with a net worth of approx $580 million. But how did this really happen? How did Beyoncé and Jay Z together become a billion dollar couple?

When Beyoncé was asked about the same, she famously mentioned to Forbes that she never gets satisfied nor she met anyone in the industry who has worked harder than her. These days, she is the primary breadwinner in her family and loves to stretch her limits. After Diddy, Beyoncé is the only on-screen artist to have clocked an amount of $105 million pretax.

Beyoncé’s Formation World Tour, that ended in late 2016 (her seventh tour), in support of her sixth studio album ‘Lemonade’ turned out to be a major grosser for the star performer. According to Billboard Boxscore, the tour grossed $256 million from 49 sold out shows and ranked at number two on Pollstar’s 2016 Year End Tours chart.

In 2012, Beyoncé signed a $50 million deal reported with Pepsi taking over more creative control over the advertising of the brand. The diva must be finding it a great source of income especially when she is on a break since last six months, post the birth of her twins. The couple recently purchased an $88 million mansion in LA’s Bel Air neighborhood.

On the other hand, Jay Z’s fortune made a hike of almost 30 percent in the previous year. The rapper made a $200 million investment from Sprint. This in-turn increased the value of his music-streaming service, Tidal at $600 million.

Jay Z however, stayed away from touring for a long time. He became a part of the national debate during the presidential elections which took place in 2016. He performed at Hillary Clinton’s event and extended his support for her. This political inclination didn’t any way affect the couple to grow financially. In-fact, in 2016 both their influence and income boomed to the next level. Jay Z also signed a $200 million deal with Live Nation and is now having some upcoming festival dates.

Though the couple has earned huge reputation and wealth individually, a major part of their money comes from companies like Roc Nation, Armand de Brignac, and others. Both believe in the idea of Team work and making everything tough and difficult possible together. Jay Z is often seen in many of Beyoncé videos, last time in her album Lemonade. In-fact that is somehow more attractive from a viewer’s perspective, their fans have always wanted to see them together.

Two years ago Jay Z purchased a streaming service known as Tidal. Now, both the rapper and his superstar wife hold a significant equity in Tidal. The value of their shares went high when Sprint invested a reported $200 million for a 33% of the company–valuing Tidal at $600 million. This was one significant deal that launched Beyoncé and Jay Z into the ten-figure territory.

The couple, after years of hard work, dedication and business skills, now know how to make investments to create a secure future, to keep their worth going up and their family’s stardom un-shattered.

Do You Relate To Any Of These Six Male Characters From 'Game Of Thrones'?

Celebrities

Aug 292017

Apart from a twisted cacophony of events, ‘Game Of Thrones’ has also given us really intense characters, who have been well realized and defined both by the book and the series. Mr. Martin has really gone inwards, in to the soul of each character and psychoanalysed their traits and the purpose of their existence. We may not be able to relate to every character on the show but we can certainly feel the intensity they bring with them on screen and make us fall in love (or not) with them each time.

Do you ever assume you relate to a particular character, so much so that you think maybe you were born to fit into the exact role? If you’re a true ‘Game of Thrones’ fan, we’re sure you’ve been asked ‘who do you want to play’ or ‘who do you think you’ll be’ or even pondered over who is that one character that suits your personality best.

Here are six men from ‘Game of Thrones’ with their rich and powerful characteristics and their personalities broken down, so that you can figure out who you can relate to best.

Let us know in the comments section!

Do You Relate To These GoT Characters? © HBO

Tyrion Lannister – The Intellectual Charmer

A tiny man, with a rather big intellect, Tyrion is a kind and intelligent man whose brain is as sharp as a tack. Being a little person, he is constantly mocked but that does not deter his confidence to be himself, one bit. He does not belittle himself or second guess himself ever and he’s a staunch supporter of truth and doing the right thing. He embraces his ‘short’comings well and has a sharp tongue to give a piece of his mind to whoever dares makes fun of him. He loves his family but cannot stand sly, sluggish and evil behaviour displayed by anyone, not even his family members. He commits to a higher moral ground and sticks with his purpose, through thick and thin. Good with the ladies, he’s certainly a charming personality.

Jon Snow- The Benevolent Thinker

John has inherently good traits and a heart of gold with boatloads of dedication. He spends a lot of time thinking of tactical ways to get what he wants without hurting anyone. If he wasn’t the King In The North, we assume he’d become a fine grand maester in the future. Another great thing about his character is that he is a man of his word and always keeps his promise. His loyalty and integrity are traits every man should strive to achieve. This character doesn’t sway much towards distractions when he has more important issues at hand. Ask his women!

Jamie Lannister – The King of Redemption

Well, his character teaches us that even though there is evil in someone it can always transcend into goodness. Jamie started off as being known as the King Slayer after he killed the mad king but through his experiences in life and after encountering a lot of hardships, he began to understand the goodness that life brings. The transformation is always slow for such people but it’s beautiful. His character is all about redemption and it proves that even if a mistake is made, it doesn’t necessarily define you. Through his association with other people, we realise that he has learnt to grow in the right direction and that anyone is capable of loyalty and compassion. We think his character can be relatable to most men- make as many mistakes as you want but always learn from them and become the best version of yourself.

Samwell Tarly- The Wise Simpleton

Samwell is an unwanted element both at his work and by his family, who ask him to leave. His character teaches us not to give up on life and use what you have best to take you where you want to go. He’s not the best fighter but spends his time behind books and knowledge and is probably the only one who knows most of the unspoken secrets there are to know, through books and knowledge. He works hard on his knowledge and uses it best to help people as much as he can. His character teaches us that knowledge is power and you really don’t have to be macho if you use the goodness of knowledge for a greater purpose in life. He’s definitely a loyal friend to have around too and you can trust his character with your life!

Ramsay Bolton- The Evil Sadist

We all have a Ramsay amidst us, don’t we? Well, some people don’t have to be as gruesome as his character but they portray a trait which is sadistic, deriving pleasure from others misery. They don’t hurt people physically, necessarily, but they play vicious mind games with others. Ramsay has no redeeming quality, so to speak, as he is Martins most evil creation. He is termed as an out and out psychopath and he gets what he wants always and never gives up. His character mostly stems from seeing brutality at a very young age and applying the same as he grows older. There is still redemption out there, for those of you who do relate to his character! If you don’t seek it now then we’re afraid you might just meet the same fate as him!

Petyr (Littefinger) Baelish- The Conniving Mastermind

Baelish is not necessarily harmful but he can get you in ways that no one has before! Shrewd, selfish and conniving he usually keeps a track of whatever is going around him and indulges in useless gossip and banter and later uses that against people. Baelish’s character is good at pitting two or more people against each other and starting a full fledged war amidst them, just by using his mind. Yes, he’s as comparable to the vamps you see on Hindi television series these days! Do you relate, even a little bit?

Each character has a separate trait, so if you relate to even one of them, its time to let the world know!

Shah Rukh Khan

It was the last day of shoot for the first schedule of Shah Rukh Khan’s TED Talks: Nayi Soch yesterday. During the course of the shoot, news came in about Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh being sentenced to 20 years in jail.

Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh

SRK took to the mic and said, “The director will perhaps not like it as it’s not part of the show, but I am happy to say Ram Rahim Singh has been sentenced.” The channel is not likely to air what SRK said about the self-styled godman who produced MSG: The Messenger.

Cersei's Shrewd Plan Could Mean A Huge Betrayal By Tyrion & Here's Why She Might Win The War

Celebrities

Aug 282017

The season finale of ‘Game Of Thrones’ S7 is over and life will soon be dull again. So much happened in one episode, but there was one major setback that has us seething with anger. Cersei’s deceitful trick of backstabbing Daenerys and Jon Snow. She easily lies to them about the truce and readily agrees to send her army to the North to fight White Walkers. It all did sound too good to be true.

But what happened after her conversation with her brother Tyrion? The chat ends after Tyrion discovers she is pregnant, catching Cersei on an unguarded note. Was the truce in exchange of keeping the information of her pregnancy a secret? Does Tyrion agree to withhold the information if she is willing to come to peaceful terms with Daenerys?

If that is the case, Tyrion might essentially be betraying Daenerys. In his conversation with Cersei, a major chunk is devoted to the guilt he harbours on account of the deaths he caused in the family. He repeatedly stresses on how dearly he loved his niece and nephew, Tommen and Myrcella. Has he taken the moment to purge some of his guilt?

If Tyrion is indeed conniving with Cersei on this, it would also stand true to the prophecy that said Daenerys would be betrayed 3 times: once for blood, once for gold and once for love. She’s been betrayed for blood and gold but not for love so far.

Cersei has, of course, alienated the only family she had left – Jaime Lannister. Her about-turn regarding the truce doesn’t go down too well with Jaime who wants to uphold their end of the pledge but Cersei is thinking like a shrewd politician here, something only her father Tywin Lannister did. Whether we like it or not, that is exactly the kind of line of thought the modern human has today – self preservationist.

She is sharp enough to realise that Daenerys has lost one of her dragons. She tells Jaime that the absence of the third dragon at a time when Daenerys was exhibiting her power in front of her enemy means only one thing – that there is no third dragon anymore.

In withdrawing from the war against the White Walkers, she is following a very typical political tact – let your enemies fight against each other and suffer loss of life and resource. It’d be much easier to defeat whatever is left of them after the fight. Self-preservation is the key to survival in the Game of Thrones universe.

The only mistake she is making here is that she underestimates the White Walkers and assumes that they can be defeated easily. Of course, she doesn’t know the Night King has a dragon now – that bit of information has been conveniently hidden by Daenerys and camp.

Cersei is evil, vindictive and deceitful, no doubt, and she is probably digging her own grave right now, but fact remains that she is the sharpest politician in the show right now, besides Tyrion Lannister. Despite being cornered, she could still win the war, thanks to her tactics.

The Game Changing Revelation Behind Robert's Rebellion Is Something You Might Have Missed In The GOT Finale

Celebrities

Aug 282017

“Robert’s rebellion was built on a lie”, Bran to Samwell Tarly – connecting the dots that finally confirms Jon is not just any bastard, but a Dornish bastard, who are apparently called ‘Sand’ and, not ‘Snow’.

This revelation is so big that we are not sure how to feel about it. Although, all the Game of Thrones’ Fans saw this coming but we hadn’t expected the makers to disclose it so soon.

Anyhow, if you haven’t seen the final instalment of the Season 7, then you better save this story, for, it will ultimately put the crucial missing piece back in the puzzle.

Remember Gilly making a huge discovery about Jon Snow’s parents? Yes, now let’s break down what caused Robert’s rebellion, piece by piece:

It began when Gilly reads some information recorded by Maynard to Sam which goes on like, “Maynard says here, that he issued an annulment for a Prince Raggar and remarried him to someone else at the same time in a secret ceremony in Dorne”, in a confused manner, Gilly asks Sam the meaning of ‘annulment’, referring to someone called ‘Prince Raggar’, without realising the importance of it.

This conversation led Sam to travel back in the North to have Jon’s back. While he was there, he had a little moment with Bran, who was aware of Jon being the son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark, yet, not the fact that High Septon Maynard had annulled Rhaegar’s marriage to Elia Martell, before marrying him off to Lyanna in Dorne, which was again, a secret affair that he oversaw.

Earlier, it was believed that Prince Rhaegar, heir to the Iron Throne, kidnapped Lyanna, Ned’s sister, who was engaged to Robert Baratheon. This theory has been nullified, even though it was a lot more controversial as Rhaegar was thought to be still married to Elia Martell. Amidst all this confusion and lies, the truth has finally come up.

via GIPHY

At the time of coming to know about Bran’s power of being a Third Eyed Raven, to which Sam’s reaction was rather shocking and funny, leaving Bran no choice but to go back in time and have a reality check. It’s confirmed that Jon’s real name is Aegon Targaryen. Now, I’m pretty sure you have the same questions revolving around your head that were on my mind while watching the episode: What kick-started the war? What triggered Robert to get rebellious? What happened to Lyanna Stark? Chill out, we have all the answers for you.

Here’s what happened – The great abduction:

via GIPHY

Yes, abduction of precious Lyanna caused everyone around her to throw a fit. Her older brother Brandon who had been on his way to Riverrun to wed Catelyn Tully, rode to King’s Landing instead, demanding that King Aerys II Targaryen (who is often called as the Mad King, father of Rhaegar’s), have Lyanna returned and his son punished. While things didn’t work out in the older brother’s favour, who was later imprisoned and, was charged with treason along with his father Rickard Stark. The Mad Kind had both of them killed in front of the entire Royal court, in his insanity; making Jon Arryn, the lord of the Eyrie, raise his banners in revolt against the crown and, sent Robert Baratheon and Ned back to their lands.

Lyanna’s alleged kidnapping was the cause of the uproar of Robert’s breakdown which ultimately led to his rebellion. But now that we are apprised of what actually happened back in the day, it’s obvious that Rhaegar hadn’t abducted Lyanna but had annulled his first marriage to finally get hitched to his lady love.

In case you haven’t notice this, if Jon sits on the Iron throne in the final season for which, we might have to wait for two years according to the reports, he will rule as King Aegon IV Targaryen. Doesn’t that excite you already?

Now, we’re only left with one doubt: Will Daenerys accept a different heir to the iron throne?

The Epic Climax Of The 'Game Of Thrones' Finale Left Us Gasping For Breath

Celebrities

Aug 282017

‘Game Of Thrones’ has ended its seventh season today and while digesting things will take some time, it is the ending that left us gasping for breath and some fresh air. Oh my god! We were waiting for the White Walkers to touch the wall the entire season and they totally made it worth the freaking wait.

Ending of game of thrones season 7 © HBO

Viserion was raised from the dead by the Night King himself and while people were waiting to see what happens, it now makes sense to understand that it was all a part of an elaborate plan by the dead villain to use the dragon for his own army. Tormund and the others are casually looking around when they see the dead army marching. Panic did strike hard but all hell was let loose when the Night King comes flying on the dragon and off goes the wall. BOOM! Just like that.

How do you fathom it? The sad part is that this could mean the end of Tormund and his love life dreams that he was weaving for quite a while. The wall is now down, the army is descending to the other side and there is a very powerful dragon that spits icy fire, if that makes any sense. This means that danger is coming soon and in the next season we can expect some major shit going down. People are going to die and war is happening. Good thing for Jon Snow is that he has Targaryen blood and can even possibly survive fire. How do we deal with these withdrawal symptoms now?

The Stark Delight Of Watching This Season's Most Satisfying Death In 'Game Of Thrones'

Celebrities

Aug 282017

There were numerous theories, many predictions, countless bets and so many calculations about that one major death of the finale. However, we were given the ultimate satisfaction after watching the death of Lord Baelish by the hands of Arya Stark. The wonderful tale of his death starts spinning when he tries to maliciously make Sansa believe that she is forever going to be threatened by Arya. The best part about this scene is that Sansa just allows herself to be manipulated.

Later, Arya is summoned in front of every one and the whole scene makes you believe that goddamn Lady of Winterfell has fallen prey to his deceitful malicious ways. You have got to give it to Baelish for him so convincingly conniving, that you adore hating his guts. So he is as usual smiling in a corner when Sansa starts throwing accusations in the air , all this while looking at Arya, until, she casually takes his name. You are baffled, Baelish is surpised, a look that is so not him. What I really liked about his death was the fact that there was no catharsis for us. We don’t really fee l sorry for him, he had to die, it was estimated that Arya will do it and so it happened.

The Stark sisters prove to you that blood is indeed thicker than malice and manipulation and honestly, Sansa owed this to herself and everyone. We are totally digging the new version of an evolved Sansa and hope she gets to kill someone herself (Theon?), before the series ends.

The Secret Behind Tyrion's Grim Look During This Scene On The Boat Might Be Disturbing

Celebrities

Aug 282017

The finale has left us with a lot of questions. We are still digesting the information that sailed our way, making peace with a lot of things, feeling sorry for Jaime, anger for Cersei, love for Dany and Jon. Amidst all of this, you forgot one important character and one tiny bit of a scene that spoke volumes. I am talking about Tyrion’s grim expression when he witnessed Jon knocking Dany’s door.

So while this went by in a blink, there is a grim secret behind it that gives way to a few theories. Ahem! Please read on. According to an old letter written by Martin to his publishers, his initial plan was to make Jon fall for his own sister Arya. The original plan also includes that an exiled Tyrion falling for Arya and giving rise to a love triangle. That angle in the sense of the show is now taking shape between Khaleesi, Jon and Tyrion.

According to the books, he’s supposed to have many shades of grey after killing his father and Shae. The series was showing the opposite but maybe now that shall start reflecting. Also, if you go back in time, Tyrion did persuade Dany to let go off the two men who were in love with her, Sir Jorah and even Daario. He explains it to her that they were not the first one to love her and will not be the last one to love her.

Well, this could all fall in place in the next season because our first impression of Tyrion was that he is a drunkard who takes his wine and women seriously. This new compassionate side of his kinda is getting boring. This means that a rivalry will indeed brew between him and Jon. He might even betray them. Well, interesting times ahead.

25 Moments From 'Game Of Thrones' Season 7 Finale That Are Abso-Fokin-lutely Gold

Celebrities

Aug 282017

The 7th season of ‘Game of Thrones’ has ended and so has our watch. The finale has left us in whirlwind of emotions and we have been replaying everything in our heads ever since. Too bad if you haven’t watched it yet, we suggest you do not read any further because this piece has more spoilers than the hair in your head. First things first, Jon and Dany have finally hooked up after leaving fans on the brink of a climax with their sexual tension. Strangely enough, the intimate scene is coupled with the scene of Jon’s bloody birth. Don’t know why but we think Dany might soon have a child of her own.

While Cersei might have sunk to her lowest yet and she is not budging even for the White Walkers, we see a point in her madness. Let your enemies fight and kill each other. One dragon is already dead; she might not have to fight at all to win this war perhaps. Nevertheless, let’s take a moment to savour some of the best moments of this episode!

They started off with a cocky joke
