Kit Harington reveals Game of Thrones spoiler to dodge speeding fine

SPOILER ALERT: Jon Snow does know something after all!
Kit Harington Jimmy Fallon

It seems Kit Harington isn’t too concerned with Game of Thrones spoilers, seeing as he’s the one dishing them out!

Kit, aka Jon Snow on the hit HBO series confessed to Jimmy Fallon that he used his insider knowledge of the show to get himself out of a ticket when he got pulled over.

The 29-year-old, who’s dating fellow Game of Thrones star Rose Leslie, revealed the news during an interview on The Tonight Show.

When asked by the popular TV host whether anyone other than he and the producers knew the fate of Jon Snow, the actor was quick to say how he’d been sworn to secrecy.

But that didn’t stop him blabbing all about it to a police officer who pulled the actor over for speeding.

Watch Kit share his hilarious story in the player. Post continues after the video…

The long-locked actor revealed: “[The policeman] said, ‘There’s two ways we can do this. You can either follow me back to the police station now and I book you in or you can tell me whether you live in the next season of Game of Thrones.'”

Kit says his initial response to the bizarre request was to laugh, but it turned out the cop was very serious indeed.

Fans were holding their breath to see whether Jon Snow would come back in season six of the hit show Game of Thrones.

“He says, ‘I have to tell you whether I take you into the police station depends on what your answer is.'”

The actor then revealed his character’s fate and was ushered on with an “On your way, Lord Commander”, after being told to keep his speed down “this far south of the Wall”.

Kit says he was implored to tell no one of what happened after a dramatic season finale that saw his character meet a seemingly grizzly end. Which of course meant he told his parents, and his girlfriend Rose. And the policeman, of course.

We hope Kit isn’t going to get in trouble for this cheeky revelation!

Radio host John Laws spent Saturday night in St Vincent’s Hospital after he was injured at a Sydney restaurant.

John Laws, 80, was dining at Woolloomooloo’s China Doll when he reportedly leant on a table, which flipped, sending him crashing to the floor.

The restaurant’s manager helped Laws, a frequent customer, back to his nearby apartment and called an ambulance, reports News Limited.

The radio shock jock was taken to St Vincent’s where he was reportedly kept overnight before being released early yesterday morning.

Sharon Osbourne gives Ozzy a rehab ultimatum

I'm 63 years of age, and I can't keep living like this.
Ozzy Osbourne Sharon Osbourne

After the very public breakdown of their marriage in the past few days, reports are emerging out of the US that Sharon Osbourne is willing to take her husband Ozzy back, under one condition… He agrees to attend rehab for sex addiction.

According to the The Sun, after years of Sharon putting up with Ozzy being a ladies man, she’s finally drawn her line in the sand, offering a stint at Pine Grove rehab centre in Mississippi as the condition to staying together to work things out.

Sources told The Sun that the long-suffering wife has spoken out to friends, saying her rocker husband is “squirming with remorse” over the rumoured affair with hairstylist Michelle Pugh.

The reports come just days after the rock royalty pair were spotted putting on a united front at an event in Los Angeles.

Onlookers say Ozzy was definitely trying to cuddle up to Sharon many times, while The Talk host swung between snuggling in and pulling away.

Sharon swung between giving in to her husband’s attempts at affection, and pulling away.

The couple of nearly 34 years were talking divorce earlier this week, with Sharon even visiting an attorney.

But they’ve reportedly agreed to put things on the backburner for now while Ozzy seeks treatment because of the feelings they still have for one another.

“It’s true Sharon has spoken to a divorce lawyer and she’s still mad as hell,” a friend told The Sun. “But she still believes they can eventually recover from this if he is prepared to get proper help.”

She’s also reportedly asked to attend marriage counselling together.

Sharon talks about the split on her return to The Talk. Post continues below.

The couple spent time apart last week after reports of infidelity surfaced, with Sharon even taking a day off her hosting duties on The Talk to collect herself and figure out her next move.

When she returned, the usually brash and candid star wasn’t her normally jovial self, saying “I’m 63 years of age, and I can’t keep living like this.”

Meet the handsome co-star making Jessica Marais smile again.
Jessica Marais

Six months ago, Jessica Marais was struggling to understand how her “amazing” life had all gone so wrong. The beautiful Love Child star was at her lowest ebb after splitting from fiance James Stewart, and fighting over how to co-parent their daughter Scout, four.

But what a difference a few months can make!

Pictured in Melbourne last week on the set of The Wrong Girl – Ten’s adaptation of Zoe Foster Blake’s bestselling book
– Jess looked happier than she has in months, sharing plenty of laughs with her handsome co-star Ian Meadows, 33.

“The chemistry between them is undeniable,” confirms an on-set insider. “There’s a definite spring in Jess’s step. Who knows if anything will come of it, but it’s so nice to see her smiling again.”

On-set sources of The Wrong Girl say Jess and Ian have red-hot chemistry.

Her past troubles seem to be behind her.

Jess, 31, won the Silver Logie for Best Actress last week, before returning to the set and into the arms of Ian – who plays her love interest.

The pair reportedly can’t take their eyes off each other in between takes, and were spotted hugging and laughing as they took pictures of each other.

“They seem to have clicked instantly,” reveals the source.

The pair enjoyed an impromptu photoshoot.

“They’ve been hanging out together on set, even when they aren’t filming, and there’s an easy intimacy between them.”

Meanwhile, Jess’ ex James has most recently been linked to Jessica Nock. Several images of the pair have been shared on social media looking cosy.

Jess and James fell in love after working together on Packed to the Rafters in 2009 and became engaged a year later.

They announced their split in May last year via a joint statement.

“Jessica Marais and James Stewart have amicably separated. Their main focus at this time is the co-parenting of their daughter,” a rep explained at the time.

Despite the bumpy few years Jess has had, her daughter Scout has been remained the light of her life.

Last week, the actress gave a very special shout out to her daughter on the eve of her fourth birthday.

“And I’d just like to say happy birthday to a little lady who’s turning four years old tomorrow. Mummy loves you very much,” the stunning star added as her former partner James watched on in the audience.

Did Blake Shelton pop the question to Gwen Stefani?

The blonde bombshell singer spotted with a diamond ring on her engagement finger.
Gwen Stefani

Are congratulations in order for Gwen Stefani and her country singer hunk of a boyfriend Blake Shelton?

After a few months of dating and some major shows of PDA with Blake, the 46-year-old singer was spotted wearing a huge rock on her engagement finger when she stepped out at the Wango Tango Music Festival on Sunday night.

The ring resembled a wedding band with several large diamonds sparking out from the setting, sparking frenzied talk from onlookers that the Gwen and Blake may be engaged… or actually already married!

Rumours have been flying ever since the cute couple started dating amid their very public declarations of love and affection over social media and in interviews.

Gwen, known for her bright lipsticks and polished appearance, even posted a no-makeup selfie last week, saying she had taken the shot while trying to snap a cute pic to send to Blake!

Check out those diamonds! Gwen debuts her ring at the Wango Tango Music Festival.

Gwen and Blake’s relationship began after both went through very public divorces in 2015, Gwen from Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale and Blake from his wife Miranda Lambert.

Meanwhile it was pretty much love at first sight for the pair, who met while both working as coaches on The Voice in the US, and went public in November last year.

Gwen goes makeup-free for Blake… now that’s love!

And the musically talented duo have made no secret of their blossoming love recently, by recording and performing a love song together.

They took to the stage on The Voice and then again at the Billboard Music Awards to crank out a heart-warming rendition of Go Ahead and Break My Heart.

Gwen couldn’t stop gushing about the performance. “That feels crazy. That feels extreme,” she told E! Online about collaborating with her new love. “Yeah … It feels like, ‘Wow, that happened.’ I can’t believe I wrote a song with that guy!”

The song appears on Blake’s new album.

See Gwen talk about how music saved her after her divorce. Post continues below

The former No Doubt lead singer has three children from her marriage with Gavin: Kingston, Apollo and Zuma. All three boys reportedly adore Blake and the feeling is said to be mutual.

Neither star has confirmed or denied anything at this point but if it’s true, the wedding will certainly be a star-studded and glamorous affair filled with music!

Australia’s very own Dami Im has fast become a crowd favourite!
