4 things we hope happen on the season finale of GoT

For those who are still at work and can't watch the season six finale just yet, we can only speculate what may happen.

For die-hard fans who tuned in to the Game of Thrones season 6 finale already and don’t have to be chained to a work desk right now, don’t spoil it for the rest of us, ok?

But for those who are waiting to get out of work asap to race home and watch it, we can only speculate what may happen.

The possibilities are endless now that the show has surpassed the book (and also that George R. R. Martin throws us shock twists and deaths of favourite characters left, right and centre).

So, here are four major things we hope happens in the 69-minute season finale:

King Tommen dies in High Septon/Lannister crossfire

The High Septon has gotten way too much power, way too quickly (can’t he just die already?) all thanks to King Tommen being so easily manipulated. Cersei is about to take her trial and her brother Jaime and the Tyrells are ready to take down the Faith Militants.

They’ve got an army (plus The Mountain) waiting for the final order, so we think it’s about to go down. We’re sure this finale will end with major bloodshed as both sides go up against each other, with King Tommen likely being killed in the crossfire.

The death of Cersei’s son Tommen will mean that the old witch’s dark prophecy about Cersei (of her three children all being murdered) will come true.

Dany will set sail for Westeros

Now that she’s got at least 100 ships from Theon and Yara Greyjoy, a massive Dothraki army and three dragons, there’s no better time for Daenerys to set sail for Westeros to claim the Iron Throne.

Theon and Yara’s uncle Euron may arrive in Meereen this episode and with Dany’s agreement with Yara, Euron should be killed. Dany might take Euron’s ships as well, making her army almost unstoppable.

The fierce young queen has been wanting it desperately this entire series so it’s only fair we see her get on board the ships (or Drogon’s back) to head to King’s Landing. Yep, the Lannister’s should be VERY worried.

The R + L = J theory is confirmed

The Tower of Joy scene has been teased this whole season and book lovers have been speculating it for years.

So with Bran now able to see into the past with his Three-Eyed Raven abilities, surely they’d have to confirm the theory that Jon Snow’s parents are Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark in this last episode. We think there’d be mutiny amongst the GoT fan community if we had to wait another year to learn if it’s true.

Arya gets back to Westeros and kills Cersei

Now that she’s killed the waif and declared herself as Arya Stark of Winterfell instead of ‘No One’, she’ll be making her way back home.

But Cersei has always been on her ‘kill’ list, so what’s stopping her from using her assassin skills and ticking Cersei off the list?

Ok sure, it might not happen just yet, but we can dream, right?

Bride breastfeeds during wedding ceremony

Even on her big day, this mum put her baby daughter’s needs before her own.

A bride has become an internet sensation after she breastfed her baby daughter during her wedding ceremony.

Christina Torino-Benton was in the church, preparing to exchange vows with her partner Danny Benton, when their six-month-old daughter Gemma – who was struggling in the Montreal heat and had missed her nap – started crying.

Without missing a beat, Christina scooped up Gemma and breastfed her as the ceremony continued.

“I don’t pump or bottle feed and I’m all about secure attachment parenting,” Christina told The Daily Mail.

“She’s never left to cry so when she started crying I couldn’t focus on my wedding. All I was thinking about was taking her and nursing because I knew that was the only solution.

“Once I got her in my arms, I was able to calm down and focus. A lot of people think that my feeding her mid-ceremony was a bother but actually it was nice having her up there with us. She is always a joy to have around.”

The couple’s wedding photographer snapped a sweet photo of the lovely moment between mother and child and Christina later shared the image on Facebook, where it quickly went viral.

Luke Jacobz replaced by Jason Dundas as X Factor host

The former Home And Away star is leaving his TV gig after five years.
Luke Jacobz, Jason Dundas

Jason Dundas has been announced as the new host of Channel Seven’s X Factor, replacing Luke Jacobz.

Luke, who had been hosting the reality show since 2010, is making his departure to try his luck acting in Hollywood.

According to his agent Chic Management, the 35-year-old actor is “currently residing in Los Angeles” after making the decision to leave the show himself.

“In 2015 Luke made the difficult decision to bid farewell to his X Factor family in order to relocate to the US to study and focus on his acting,” his rep said.

The former X Factor host has had his fair share of controversy in the spotlight.

Luke was brought in to host the show after Matthew Newton was given the boot at the last minute ahead of the launch for his indiscretions.

Meanwhile, Luke has had his fair share of controversy, having been slapped with his second drink driving charge in July 2015.

The actor – who was pulled over in Sydney’s Moore Park with a blood alcohol level of 0.116 – over double the 0.05 legal limit – was dubbed a “serial offender” by the magistrate presiding over his case.

“The reality of it is I’m dealing with a serial offender. Here you are 10 years later committing the same offence,” Magistrate Alexander Mijovich said at the time.

Did Luke Jacobz come out on live TV? See the clip and judge for yourself. Post continues below.

Luke’s replacement is most well-known for his work on the runway for David Jones as well as his role on US show Entertainment Tonight.

“My career as a television host all started from winning a contest so I know how life-changing a show like this can be,” the 33-year-old said of his new gig.

“It’s also great that I will be home for a bit after a few years of being based in the US.”

Crediting her smoking look to her ridiculously intense workout regime late last year, Khloe quipped, “You’re exhausted, you’re sore, and I actually felt fatter because I was swollen.”

“If you keep going, you’re eventually like, ‘Wow, is that an indentation on my arm? Yeah, it’s a revenge body. But it’s just as much for all my critics who called me ‘the fat one’ for my entire existence.”

It’s certainly paid off.

Khloe Kardashian’s transformation

2009 was a life-changing year for Koko, who met her leading man, Lamar Odom. The pair tied the knot just one month after meeting. “Lamar tells me he loves my body and I’m beautiful multiple times a day. I’ve never had that before: Someone saying, ‘Without makeup, without clothes, you’re stunning.’ He loves my body and loves that womanly shape.”

Showing the haters who’s boss, Koko and her big sis Kourtney scored their own spin off… and a reason to flaunt their curvalicious bikini bods!

Literally blood, sweat and tears.”

I got breast cancer because I didn’t have children

“To find my decision not to be a parent could have caused my cancer was unthinkable.”
I got breast cancer because I didn't have children

When Susan Leeming found out she had breast cancer, she wasn’t expecting to hear it was because she had never had children.

“I couldn’t believe it,” she told The Mirror.

“To find my decision not to be a parent could have caused my cancer was unthinkable.”

Susan found a lump in her right breast and after getting it check out, she was diagnosed with grade 3 breast cancer.

She had a successful mastectomy and needed chemotherapy however; a biopsy showed the cancer cells had developed because she’d never been a mum.

Women who have babies have lower oestrogen levels while hers were abnormally high enough to trigger disease.

“I crumbled. I’ve never heard avoiding motherhood could cause cancer,” she told the publication.

“I was horrified it was somehow my fault for not having kids…But I would never have brought children into the world just to protect me from illness.”

However, good news finally came her way as she’s now in remission and runs her own hairdressing salon selling chemical-free products.

“At the end of the day, overcoming cancer made me the positive person I am today.”

“I’m just lucky that my choice not to have kids didn’t end up ending me.”

Woman’s surprising response to text about cheating boyfriend

Awkward.

A woman had to break the news that she’d gotten pregnant by someone else’s boyfriend.

How exactly would you approach a sensitive, controversial conversation like that?

Well, this woman did it through to text to the actual girlfriend, but it turns out, she got the wrong number.

But instead of saying ‘sorry, wrong number’, the person decided to mess around with her – and took it to a whole other level.

“I just thought id should tell you. Youre boyfriend made me pregnant (sic),” said the woman.

But the person, who later shared it to Imgur responded with “Oh no! Which boyfriend?”

The recipient then proceeds to go through a whole bunch of well-known TV and movie characters known as Sam, like Sam Winchester from Supernatural, Samwise Gamgee from Lord of the Rings, and even Samwell Tarly from Game of Thrones.

The woman then said: “I should known you’re crazy to stay with a guy like sam. I mean he didnt even take me to nice food places he took me to the spur! And if you’re happy with those standards then i suppose you must be crazy (sic).”

She then finally clues on to the fact that she has the wrong number, but the recipient just wants to keep playing games.

Hilarious!

A Singapore Airlines plane has caught fire during a dramatic emergency landing at Changi Airport.

Flight SQ368 was two hours into its journey to Milan when it was forced to turn around and return to Changi due to engine problems.

Seconds after the plane touched down, a passenger filmed its right wing bursting into flames as it coasted down the runway.

The passenger told The Straits Times she could smell petrol two hours into the flight but passengers remained calm, even once the engine caught alight.

“The blaze was quite fierce and we waited for around two or three minutes before the fire engines arrived,” she said.

Remarkably, no one was injured in the fire and Singapore Airlines said in a statement that all passengers would be transferred to another aircraft that would depart for Milan later that day.

“Singapore Airlines will be co-operating fully with the authorities in their investigations,” the statement read.

His Holiness was a keynote speaker at the conference, where he urged leaders to promote human love and compassion “in order to achieve compassionate world.”

He was then joined by the Born This Way singer and billionaire businessman Philip Anschutz on stage to discuss issues of race, sexual orientation and class.

Gaga and the Dalai Lama are campaigning for change.

Gaga was then joined by the 81-year-old Tibetan leader backstage for a 20-minute Q&A session, in which the 30-year-old singer asked questions curated from social media about the world’s various issues.

During the session, Gaga said, “As we’re busy trying to figure out which group is causing the problem, evil is winning… we have to change the perspective.”

Gaga and His Holiness shared a sweet hug after their Q&A session.

She also called on mayors to educate youth to act with kindness and compassion.

“We need to educate them. You have the power to be kind to them,” the singer explained.

The Grammy-winner shared a snap of the Dalai Lama holding her hand on Instagram after the event.

“‘Hope is essential to keep the world going.’ – His Holiness the Dalai Lama #withcompassion #usmc2016 #kindyouth,” she captioned the pic.

Gaga looked chic in a sheer cream blouse for her meeting with His Holiness.

Mariah Carey treats pregnant Blac Chyna to a lap dance

It looks like the bachelorette party is starting early for Blac Chyna, who is set to marry her baby daddy Rob Kardashian later this year.
Mariah Carey Blac Chyna

It’s Mariah like you’ve never seen her before!

When mum-to-be Blac Chyna stopped by to watch Mariah Carey take the stage at her #1 to Infinity residency concert in Las Vegas on Saturday, we bet she never dreamed that she would end up on the podium herself.

As the curvaceous reality star strutted over in a skin-tight beige dress to air-kiss the diva, she was led to lavish circular bed where a muscular male dancer placed a blindfold over her eyes.

“You’re so awesome, they don’t know what to do!” the songstress quipped as she stroked the 28-year-old with a pink feather during verses of her 2008 hit Touch My Body.

The same burly dancer then jumped up to stand either side of her before tearing his white shirt off as she giggled and clapped along.

See the moment for yourself in the video player below! Post continues…

The soon-to-be Kardashian, who was clearly star struck by the chance encounter, later took to Instagram with a clip from the moment she’ll never forget.

“It was truly a honor to grace the stage with Mariah tonight. The show was amazing & she was gorgeous!”

The hot mama and her hubby-to-be will welcome their first child together later this year.

Later that evening, Mariah arrived at 1 OAK Nightclub at the Mirage Hotel & Casino for an after party and debut her DJ set.

The We Belong Together songstress made quite the statement in an all-black ensemble that consisted of thigh-high fishnet stockings, a G-string body suit and a leather jacket.

And while the racy choice of outfit may not be to everyone’s taste, there’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that the 46-year-old looks incredible.

It was certainly a risky look for Mimi.

The vivacious blonde showed off her hard-earned diet results.

Sitting down with Sharon Osbourne, the diva recently admitted that she is dieting in the lead up to her wedding to Aussie billionaire James Packer.

“I’ve been pretty consistent with this bleak diet that I am on,” she explained.

Back in March, Mimi also spoke to the Sunday Times of the same radical meal plan that she credited for her svelte new frame.

“Yes. My diet is very bleak,” she told the publication.

What a difference a year makes! Mariah has transformed since the 2015 Billboard Awards [L]. She was spotted [R] at Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show with a slimmer frame.

“I overuse the word because there is a lot of bleakness going on. My bleak diet is horrendous, but I don’t want to tell anyone about it because it’s none of their business.”

Adding, “I am a pretty insecure person. I just don’t want people commenting.”

For all things Mariah, check out the trailer her brand new show in the player below.

Why you should never take photos of food in restaurants

Heston Blumenthal has slammed the trend of ‘Instagramming’ meals.
Why you should never take photos of food in restaurants

If you’re planning on eating at one of Heston Blumenthal’s restaurants, you might want to think twice about taking a photo of your meal.

The celebrity chef has explained that he believes the trend of “Instagramming” meals detracts from the overall experience.

“I would prefer if they (diners) didn’t take any photos and just enjoyed themselves at the table and certainly not take them throughout the whole meal,” he told The Daily Telegraph.

“At the end of the day, sometimes people take pictures from the moment they get somewhere and the camera disengages them from the emotion of being in the environment and the moment, as opposed to taking in the atmosphere, smelling, seeing, hearing, touching, feeling, all of those senses.”

Heston Blumenthal

Last year, Heston brought his restaurant The Fat Duck to Melbourne where diners paid $525 a head for a 16-course meal.

“I think flashes in a restaurant at night time is just not on because it’s not fair on the other diners with the reflection in the glass and also I still have an issue, who knows if somebody takes a picture, somebody on the next table is sitting there with someone they shouldn’t be sitting there with, it’s an invasion of privacy on the person.”

What do you think? Do you think taking photos of your meals detracts from the overall experience?
