It’s going to be a long and never-ending wait we’re about to endure for the final season of ‘Game of Thrones’, especially with no premier date in sight. But if we keep getting videos like these, it’ll surely help.

If you’re a ‘Game of Thrones’ fan, like almost everyone in the whole world, you will thoroughly enjoy this video proving Jorah, Tormund, Beric and The Hound are absolutely the coolest people on the show.

These four aren’t just seasoned White Walker killers, it turns out they moonlight as the best folk group this side of Westeros as well. Forget the Brotherhood Without Banners, we’re all about the Brotherhood Without Banjos :

BROTHERHOOD WITHOUT BANJOS  This is our latest hit “Anthem over season seven end”. On Guitar #iainglen ! On the ukulele #richarddormer, and choir Mr. #rorymccann and myself! Our new album is called: “What will fate bring us???” #brotherhoodwithoutbanjos #throwbackthuresday #got7 #behindthescenes #tomwaits

In a video posted on Instagram by Kristofer Hivju, the foursome can be seen singing Tom Wait’s absolute mega ballad ‘I Hope That I Don’t Fall In Love With You’. While on set, likely filming the penultimate episode of the season, ‘Beyond the Wall’, they obviously did what anyone would do – break out the instruments and into a song while waiting for the crew to reset the scene.

‘Brotherhood Without Banjos’ – that’s the name Kristofer has given the band – would honestly sell out stadiums if they actually decided to make it a real thing.

In the video, we can see Iain Glen (AKA Jorah Mormont) on the guitar, Richard Dormer (Beric Dondarrion) on the ukelele with Rory McCann (Sandor ‘The Hound’ Clegane) and Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantsbane) on vocals.

They even revealed what their next album will be called – ‘What will fate bring us???’ But, we still don’t know if they’re just a Tom Waits cover band.

Looks like ‘Brotherhood Without Banjos’ just want to be able to kick back and lay down some smooth tunes, but this undead business is majorly coming in the way. Let’s see what will be their next song.

If you’re currently going through withdrawal since the finale of the seventh season of ‘Game of Thrones’, then there’s some good news for you. 

Instead of re-watching the whole series, while waiting for the next and final season, a new TV Show called ‘Britannia’ can fill the gaping hole in your life that ‘Game of Thrones’ has left.

Set in 43AD, this nine-part series will centre around Celtic mythology, basically telling the story of three tribes – the Druids, the Celts and the Romans – who are battling for control of Britannia.

Britannia has been written by Jez Butterworth, who wrote the James Bond flick ‘Spectre’, so it’s probably a safe bet that this TV Show is going to be rather epic. Moreover, it boasts of a pretty solid cast as well, including British actor Mackenzie Crook as the Druid chieftain Veran. He underwent quite a transformation for the role, being fitted with prosthetics, scarred up and sporting some black contacts. Honestly, he looks quite terrifying.

The show also stars Kelly Reilly from True Detective; David Morrissey, who appeared in ‘The Walking Dead’ and Zoë Wanamaker from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.

This show will mark the first time that Celtic Mythology will be showcased on the small screen, and if you’re a ‘Game of Thrones’, ‘Vikings’ or ‘The Last Kingdom’ fan, then this is a must watch. 

Even though there is no set date as of now, ‘Britannia’ is expected to come out sometime next year. 

Watch the trailer here:

Throughout all of ‘Game of Thrones’, there were certain reunions that fans had been waiting to see, and this season did not disappoint in that area. We saw Arya come face-to-face with her direwolf, Nymeria as she headed to Winterfell for an emotional reunion with Sansa and Bran. Then there was Jon and Daenerys at Dragonstone and then the latest episode was just filled with reunions and meetings.

But, have you ever wondered why we have never seen Queen Cersei and Ser Bronn have even a single interaction ever on the show? 

As soon as the negotiations were about to start between Team Dany and Team Cersei, did you notice Bronn and Podrick head out for a drink before the talking began?

Bronn and Podrick leave literally seconds before Cersei arrives, even though an extremely important meeting is about to take place, and ideally, they both really should both be attending it, after all its a life or death situation kind of meeting.

So, basically, actors Lena Headley (Cersei) and Jerome Flynn (Bronn) used to date once upon a time but it did not end well, like not well at all. It was so bad that they can’t even stand to be in the same room anymore. According to some reports, being kept separate is even a binding part of their contracts.

The Reason Why Cersei & Bronn Are Never In The Same Scene In Got

An unnamed member of the show’s crew made the following comment to The Telegraph back in 2014 : “Jerome and Lena aren’t on speaking terms anymore and they are never in the same room at the same time. It’s a pity because they appeared to have patched things up for a while, but now the word is they should be kept apart at all costs.”

You can just imagine what a nightmare it must be for both of them to work together after a break-up, especially went it ended that badly. Moreover, think of all the scenes we could’ve had if these two actors were able to work alongside each other.

The Reason Why Cersei & Bronn Are Never In The Same Scene In Got

We can only wait and see now if Lena and Jerome will be able to patch things up just enough to give one scene together in the next and final season.

Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and her 125 million Instagram followers had quite an interesting day.

Selena Gomez’s Instagram account had to be abruptly taken down after it got hacked. Well, the hacking wasn’t the worst part; the people behind the hack posted a very explicit picture.

Someone posted Selena’s ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber’s nudes on her Instagram account with the caption “LOOK AT THIS N***A LIL SHRIMPY.”

— fatima (@heardtroye) August 28, 2017

The NSFW pictures of the singer posted are the very same pictures that were published, without Justin’s permission, about two years ago after his trip to Bora Bora with beauty blogger Jayde Pierce. 

Back in 2015, the censored pictures were originally posted in the New York Daily News, but eventually, the uncensored pictures also spread on internet somehow. Talking to Access Hollywood back then, Justin said that the nude photos being leaked made him feel “super violated” and, “Like, I feel like I can’t step outside and feel like I can go outside naked.”

He added that, “You should feel comfortable in your own space…especially that far away.”

Some people thought the hack was quite funny.

It seems like ‘The Joker’ is the most sought-after character at the moment, what with new movies being announced like every day.

A couple of days back, we got to know about a new Joker origin story being in the works, and that too is being produced by Martin Scorsese, apparently. But, surprisingly, Scorsese’s involvement wasn’t the best part about this upcoming movie; the fact that Jared Leto wasn’t going to be a part of the project whatsoever was.

But, we were all flying too high and needed to be brought down a peg. Warner Bros./DC just announced that Jared Leto will return to play the Clown Prince of Crime in a new movie, along with Margot Robbie, who will reprise her role of Harley Quinn.

Honestly, this is quite confusing, since Jared Leto’s scenes were mainly cut out from ‘Suicide Squad’. Or maybe Leto and Robbie’s chemistry won’t be that bad in their own movie. We’ll just have to wait and watch.

Reportedly, this movie will be released after the ‘Suicide Squad’ sequel. According to one source, the film will apparently be ‘criminal love story’, featuring the two murdering maniacs who are cornerstones in the Batman mythos. Another insider said, “an insane and twisted love story. When Harry Met Sally on Benzedrine.”

Let’s see if these two villains can actually make a whole movie centred around them work, or if Jared Leto disappoints everyone again.

The iconic Batman villain and one of the most enigmatic characters in comics, The Joker is just about to get his own origin story. 

Even though fans were quick to express their anger after hearing the news that an origin story was in the works, we can all at least be happy about one thing – the character won’t be played by Jared Leto in this Warner Bros film.

Martin Scorsese has been signed-on to produce this movie and, along with that, it will be directed by ‘The Hangover’s’ Todd Phillips, who will co-write the film alongside ‘8 Mile’ writer Scott Silver, according to Deadline.

While the character never had his own movie, the character has been portrayed by some incredible actors on the big screen. Back in 1960s, Cesar Romero played the character in the Batman series. 

The Joker Origin Movie Is In The Works

Then, Jack Nicholson took over the role for Tim Burton’s Batman in the 1989 movie.

After that, Heath Ledger even won a posthumous Oscar for his portrayal of the character in 2008’s The Dark Knight. 

The Joker Origin Movie Is In The Works

The Joker is currently being played by Jared Leto, and he will continue to portray the character in in the forthcoming ‘Suicide Squad’ sequel and ‘Gotham City Sirens’, but, reportedly, a different and younger actor will be handed the role for this movie. But with Scorsese being on board, Leonardo DiCaprio probably cannot be ruled out. 

The news was met with a lot of backlash, with fans mainly arguing that the Joker doesn’t require an origin story at, that’s the point of the character. 

that Joker film is supposed to be an origin film? oh god

— Terence Johnson (@LeNoirAuteur) August 22, 2017

The whole point of the Joker is that he has no set origin story https://t.co/f63wzK8Zpc

— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) August 22, 2017

An origin is totally unnecessary for the Joker at this point. And as in prev RT, The Dark Knight made it clear he’s scarier w/out one.

— Whitney Drake 🌈🌊 (@whitneyd) August 22, 2017

i hate the idea of joker having an origin like, we know HOW he was made but it’s so dumb for him to be like “oh look at him having a bad day

— restroom ranger ray (@batgirlofatx) August 22, 2017

But, hearing about Scorsese’s involvement, some people were still a little hopeful.

Martin Scorsese on board to produce a 1980’s Gotham City crime film based on the origins of the Joker? You have my attention… #TheJoker

— Jesabel (@JesabelRaay) August 22, 2017

Okay I’m hopeful for the Joker movie. If they are casting a new joker and Scorsese is suppose to produce then all is not lost.

— Nicole Huggins (@nikki_huggins93) August 22, 2017

DiCaprio must be playing the joker? DiNero is his father?  Where does Joe Pesci fit in?

— J Gerry (@IslandKing63) August 22, 2017

But, after Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger, whoever gets signed on to play the role will have some big shoes to fill. Literally!

Gordon Ramsay participating in an epic cook-off is nothing out of the ordinary, but this particular episode was a little different, and very hilarious. Instead of facing off another professional chef, Ramsay went head-to-head with his friend, and ‘the second most competitive Brit on the planet’ David Beckham.

For this week’s episode of Gordon Ramsay’s show ‘The F Word’, he invited Beckham to his kitchen and both of them competed to see who could make the best risotto, and the competition was fierce, as you would expect from two people who are at the top of their respective fields.

As soon as they began cooking, the two best friends started trolling each other continuously to throw the other one off, all in good fun, obviously. Beckham took at dig at Gordon saying “He’s not a chef anymore, he’s a TV host.”

Ramsay just couldn’t stop asking questions, which made an exasperated Beckham ask, “Are we going to talk all the way through this?” To that, Ramsay responded, “The idea is to talk as much as I can to put you off, hoping that your slip up, burn something, and I sneak in from behind and win.”

Gordon further tried to irritate his friend by chopping really loudly, which made Beckham take a blow at him saying that his wife Victoria Beckham complained that the fish Gordon prepared for her last week was undercooked. The competition is heating up and these guys are not messing around.

Beckham even brought out the big guns and made a fancy pea puree. In the end, both dishes looked really good, but Beckham’s asparagus and corn risotto looked a tad bit more appetizing than Ramsay’s creamy crab risotto. But that’s just going by the look of it.

For the final taste test, both of the dishes were presented to Muhammad Ali’s daughter and former professional boxer Laila Ali. Praising both of the risottos, she ended up declaring Ramsay’s dish as the winner. After all, he is the professional chef, obviously he won. But the most surprising part of the whole video was when he didn’t drop a single f-bomb.

Sorry, Becks.

Delivering critically acclaimed movies like ‘Shahid’, ‘Citylights’ and ‘Aligarh’, Hansal Mehta and Rajkummar Rao together have always been a deadly combination. And they’re back again, but with a web series this time.

The trailer for ‘Bose : Dead/Alive’ just dropped and we’re excited to see Rajkummar Rao’s portrayal of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. The trailer starts with a voiceover saying, “The world thinks Bose is dead” and it goes on with people discussing if it’s actually true or it’s just another disappearing act.

By the looks of it, this web series will revolve around one if the biggest conspiracy theories of the country, but will also show how everything began for Subhash Chandra Bose, following his journey to become ‘Netaji’, one of the best and most loved leaders of India.

An ALT Balaji Original, the series is written by Reshu Nath and directed by Pulkit, and will be streamed soon. And there is no one better than Rajkummar Rao to bring Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose’s story to life. Honestly, this will be an interesting watch.

Twitter has always been a great platform to interact with your favourite celebrities directly, but then also most people struggle to get a reply. And it’s not that common that a celebrity replies to your tweet to them, that too immediately. 

But, it seems like it was Hira Hyder?’s lucky day. Hyder, a journalist, tweeted to Ali Zafar saying that the day she gets to interview him, will be the day her ‘career would be at its utmost brilliance!’

The day I score an interview with @AliZafarsays is the day my Journalism career would be at its utmost brilliance! #forevercelebritycrush

— Hira Hyder (@HiraHyder) August 15, 2017

Well, the day has come, as Zafar was quick to reply and was ready for an interview then and there. His reply was quite humble, he said, “Should’ve wished for something bigger. 7 questions and I shall answer now.”

Should’ve wished for something bigger. 7 questions and I shall answer now.

Apparently, the Urdu verses above translate to this:

‘Kya muhabbat ki koi zubaan hoti hai?

Kya iss ki shiddat bayaan hoti hai?

Kya chahat kisi ki raazdaan hoti hai?

Kya haqeeqat kisi ko ayaan hoti hai?’

If you’re a fan of Ali Zafar, you shouldn’t waste any time, go and tweet him now, and maybe you’ll get your interview as well.

Justin Bieber tried to slyly slide into a girl’s DMs, or rather her workplace’s DMs, but failed hilariously.

A Savannah, GA based gym called Fitness On Broughton posted a video of a pretty girl promoting an energy drink, and it caught Justin’s eye. So, obviously he sent a direct message to the gym’s Instagram, asking about her.

New @bangenergy limited edition purple guava pear energy drinks are here! Trust us, when we say they’re AMAZING! Get yours while they’re still in stock!  UPDATE:  This is a employee and no privacy laws were broken!!

A post shared by Fitness On Broughton (@fitnessonbroughton) on Aug 9, 2017 at 10:58am PDT

Clearly finding this hilarious, the mystery girl in the video – Jessica Gober – posted a screenshot of the message on Twitter.

Did this actually just happen… lmao

Even though thousands of girls would kill to be in her position, Jessica wasn’t having it, she wasn’t interested, like not at all.

She even followed it up with pictures of her with her boyfriend saying, “I’ve got everything I need right here.”

Obviously a lot of ‘beliebers’, who have probably been waiting for years to get noticed by Justin, weren’t really happy.
