Game Of Thrones Season 4 Recasts Daario Naharis & Gregor Clegane Aka The Mountain
And now, without having a choice really, we will have to deal not only with one but two recasting on everyone's favorite TV show, Game of Thrones, on its fourth season. The two male characters that will unexpectedly wear new skins this upcoming season are Daario Naharis and Gregor Clegane aka The Mountain.
If you have learned to love Daario Naharis played by Ed Skrein, you'll definitely miss him as he will be replaced by Michiel Huisman.

Michiel Huisman
For the forgetful lot just like me, Daario Naharis is a one of the minor leaders of the Second Sons, who beheaded two of his comrades to impress Daenerys the Khaleesi. He was eventually hired by Daenerys and since then the two had some steamy sexual tensions that only made Ser Jorah Mormont furiously jealous.
The next recasting has been no surprise really, since the role of Greor Clegane has been passed on to different actors before. He was first portrayed by Conan Stevens in Season 1, followed by Ian Whyte in Season 2. And now the role landed to a non-actor Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson for Season 4.

Ser Gregor Clegane is the head of House Clegane, minor vassals of House Lannister, older brother to Sandor the Hound and is known to many as The Mountain (short for The Mountain That Rides), because of his height reaching to more than 8 feet.
So far there is nothing really to worry about since I trust the judgment of the production team and executives of the show. We can't yet judge at this early point in time until we see the end product of Game of Thrones Season 4 and the effects of this recasting.
Game of Thrones Season 4 has already started production since July 8, 2013 and is expected to wrap up on the later parts of 2013. It will be aired in 2014, but no specific date for the premiere has been released yet.
Listen To The Full Audio Of 'Wrecking Ball' By Miley Cyrus, New Song From Bangerz Album
The song has already made its way through some charts despite not being properly released as a single. A few days ago Vevo has released the full audio of the song, which you can listen to below. Of course we can expect a music video to follow and I am already picturing out what other stunts Miley Cyrus will have to do to top her VMA worthy MV for We Cant' Stop.
Listen the full audio of Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus.
Wrecking Ball follows in line with We Can't Stop and Bangerz (the carrier single) among 13 possible titles from said album -- ten still remains to be titled in the standard release with additional 3 tracks for the deluxe edition.
The album Bangerz by Miley Cyrus is expected to be released on October 4, 2013 under RCA Records. Stick around for the official track listing of the album which is expected to be released in the following weeks.
The Voice Season 5 Official Poster Brings Back Coaches Cee Lo Green And Christina Aguilera

For what it's worth, and as what the poster said, the team is "Reunited and it feels so good."
Welcome back the original set of coaches in The Voice Season 5 official poster.
Here is a banner poster of The Voice Season 5, as well.

Robin Thicke Gets All The Girls In 'Give It 2 U' Music Video Ft. 2 Chainz & Kendrick Lamar
I know I am already a few days to deliver this, but who really cares right? This video is really worth sharing and is a must watch for every guy who wanted to be lucky just like this mother ******. Even my quite conservative side does not hinder me from sharing this video to the world.
Better late than never! Watch the music video of Give It 2 U by Robin Thicke featuring 2 Chainz & Kendrick Lamar.
Give It 2 U is one of my favorite songs from his Blurred Lines album, despite it very explicit language and numerous and obvious phallic references.
My conservative self was shocked the first time I heard the song that I forgot how it was not really jibing with my personality. But in my defense, my brain is programmed to make some bleeping noise whenever it hears some undesirable words.
The music video was directed by Diane Martel and debuted online over MTV last August 23, 2013 and made its way to Vevo a day after. (Plus point for anyone who spotted Julian Fuego, Robin Thicke's equally chick magnetic son.)
This is the second single from the Blurred Lines album -- there is no wonder why is that so, because I know you've been jamming and stamping while listening and watching the music video.

Chris Brown And Nicki Minaj Are Doing Some Lovin' In Love More Music Video
What's more surprising for me is that he has already released three singles from the said upcoming album. The first one is Fine China that debuted last March. It was followed by Don't Think They Know three months later. And for todays scoop, Love More followed a month after and its music video has just hit the streets.
Watch the new music video of Love More by Chris Brown, featuring Nicki Minaj.
Love More, which is produced by FRESHM3N III, has peaked at #52 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and #29 on the Australia Singles Chart. It was hailed as a sure winner in the club. The music video was directed by Chris Brown himself when they shot it in Los Angeles, California last August 2, 2013. (And the Nick Swardson cameo is so unexpected.)
A for the mama, Nicki Minaj is such a prolific collaborator that in a few she will be featured in yet another music video for I Wanna Be With You by DJ Khaled.
In cased you missed them, here are the music videos of the first two singles, Fine China and Don't Think They Know.
Fine China by Chris Brown Music Video
Don't Think They Know by Chris Brown, featuring Aaliyah Music Video.
X by Chris Brown has no official release date set in stone as of late, so better watch out for it with keen eyes.

Christina Aguilera Collaborates With Fans In New 'Let There Be Love' Music Video
Some of the fans got a shot on less than 30 seconds of fame. This is yet another simple and pure way to both excite fans, promote music and show the world that having a busy schedule is not reason enough for us not to be creative. So, whatever the haters say, scoot off.
Watch Christina Aguilera thank her very supportive fans in Let There Be Love music video (a.k.a. home video).
Let There Be Love is the sixth track on Christina Aguilera's seventh studio album, Lotus. Honestly, this one of her songs that she is not over-singing and belching, and my already broken eardrums is happy for that, same with the critics who positively reviewed this nice song.
Did you spot Nicole Richie, Matthew Rutler, Max Liron Bratman, Christina Milian and Chris Mann as they made some cameo appearances on the video?
From Screen to Closet: Blockbuster Beach Looks from Summer 2013
There was no shortage of superheroes or sequels at the box office this summer. From body armor to bathing beauties, Hollywood offered some electrifying eye candy to inspire your beach attire. Here are some of the top looks from this summer’s silver screen hits:
Superhero Chic: Go Metallic
With comic book heroes like Iron Man and Wolverine headlining this summer’s biggest blockbusters, you may feel the urge to find your own super suit.
Metallic is the way to go if you are looking to emulate the look of this summer’s superheroes. Metallic swimsuits can be found in all shapes, sizes and styles, and can be extremely flattering for all skin tones.
A swimsuit that is trimmed with a lot of metal hardware can add to the “utility” look of a suit – think Ursula Andress’ famous bikini look from “Dr. No,” or Halle Berry in “Die Another Day.”
Better yet, get the ultimate superhero look by combining metallic fabric and metal hardware. For example, a metallic monokini gets the superhero look just right. You’ll feel ready to fight the forces of evil when you slip into any number of these sexy swimsuits from Yumdrop — unless, of course, you can get Tony Stark to design your very own iron bikini.
Old Hollywood Glam

If “The Great Gatsby” made it to the top of your summer movie hit list, you probably like your beach time with a touch of the old Hollywood glamour.
Vintage-looking swimsuits have been popular for several years. From polka-dot bikinis to classic one-pieces, vintage-inspired swimsuits can be a great option for ladies looking for more coverage without sacrificing style. Vintage bathing suits were designed to cover more skin that the teeny-weeny bikinis you find on the beach today. Most vintage-inspired suits come in either solid colors our subtle prints, like polka dots, and feature feminine touches, such as skirts or ruffles. A nice way to pair modern with vintage is to try a color-blocked swimsuit with a vintage cut. This black and white bikini achieves the cute look of vintage style without being overly conservative.
Vintage suits were made out of cumbersome materials like wool, and in the era of “The Great Gatsby,” swimsuits were known to cover a woman all the way to the knee. So, unlike Daisy Buchanan, consider yourself lucky to be born post-sexual revolution, and during the era of nylon, Spandex and Lycra.
Get Animated — Again
Photo by Flickr user 2Stef27
The summer movie season always guarantees the release of two types of films: sequels and animated features. "The Smurfs 2," "Despicable Me 2" and "Monsters University" combined these two summertime staples to create a brand new genre — the animated sequel.
Be inspired by the brilliant hues of this kid-friendly fare. Neon is hotter than ever this year. Swimsuit designers are looking back to the oh-so-vibrant ‘90s for inspiration in today’s swimwear. Bright blue, pink and yellow are all popular this season. For example, check out this powerfully pink two-piece by Yumdrop.
Tired of only one look? Try this for a sequel — mix and match tops and bottoms for a completely different look. Neon colors pair well together and mixing and matching tops and bottoms is a great way to keep your look fresh summer after summer.

Throwback Thursday: Cassadee Pope Brings Back The Old Pictures & New Memories In 11 Music Video
This is the second released and the 10th track from her debut studio album called Frame by Frame. How fitting to release a frame by frame video of her old pictures? Listen to the song, while watching some worth wile memories of the singer.
Watch the montage of throwback Thursday-worthy pictures and listen to 11 by Cassadee Pope.
11 by Cassadee Pope is much like a song of regret of wanting to stop growing old and reaching a certain age, because either a bad incident may have had happened during those times in her life. Looking back at the age of eleven may be hard for her, but I am not quite sure what memory is referred to that made her very nostalgic and sad in this song.

James Blunt As A Black Leather Rider In New 'Bonfire Heart' Official Music Video
Nature has been the forefront of my existence. It brings solace to my already miserable life and seeing mountainous landscapes in the music video brings me life. This English surrounding is definitely a place to die for... a must-visit bucket list item.
In order for you to relate on what I was saying, watch the music video of Bonfire Heart by James Blunt.
The idea of traveling makes this music video relatable. Everyone of us aspires to travel and live freely where we can meet and rub elbows with new people of different culture and way of living, giving us new experiences and memories. In fact, this video almost triggered in me a desire to buy a huge motor bike as well and traverse the whole country with it.
It's really a nice idea to live a simple life without no worries and the only big problems you may encounter is how to get along with your daily needs. The picture is taking a full image in my head now...
Bonfire Heart is the third track in the upcoming fourth studio album by James Blunt entitled Moon Landing. This lead single has been released digitally last July and will be officially released in October preceding the release of the album.

Check out these two new characters poster of Thor and Loki from Thor: The Dark World.

Kill Your Darlings Official Movie Poster Revealed, Starring Daniel Radcliffe & Dane DeHaan
These two worlds collided when they worked together in a John Krokidas-directed movie titled Kill Your Darlings. Together with these two are a talented cast that includes Elizabeth Olsen, Michael C Hall, Ben Foster, Jennifer Jason Leigh, David Cross, Kyra Sedgwick, Jack Huston, David Rasche and John Cullum.
What can you say about this new poster of Kill Your Darlings?
Synopsis
While he is attending Columbia University in 1944, the young Allen Ginsberg’s life is turned upside down when he sets eyes on Lucien Carr, an impossibly cool and boyishly handsome classmate. Carr opens Ginsberg up to a bohemian world and introduces him to William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. Repelled by rules and conformity in both life andliterature, the four agree to tear down tradition and make something new, ultimately formulating the tenets of and giving birth to what became the Beat movement. On the outside, looking in, is David Kammerer, a man in his thirties desperately in love with Carr. When Kammerer is found dead, and Kerouac, Burroughs, and Carr are arrested in conjunction with the murder, the nascent artists’ lives change forever.
Daniel Radcliffe fearlessly takes on the role of the young Ginsberg on a journey of discovery—to find his sexuality and his voice as a writer. Cowriter/director John Krokidas takes on this less-explored early chapter of the Beats and captures the period with visual flair, kinetic energy, and imagination. Kill Your Darlings is the riveting true story of a crime, a friendship, and the nexus that spawned a cultural movement.
Kill Your Darlings premiered January 18, 2013 during the Sundance Film Festival and is expected to be released to wider range of audience soon.
Watch The Performances Of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry And Miley Cyrus On MTV Video Music Awards 2013
MTV's Video Music Awards came to life with these performances, and it would have been a bore if you only get to see the singers and artists receive their astronaut trophies without further ado during the entire duration of the show.
So, which of these three performances do you like best and gave a great impact on the show?
Lady Gaga - Applause VMA 2013 Live Performance
Katy Perry - Roar VMA 2013 Live Performance
Miley Cyrus - We Can't Stop VMA 2013 Live Performance
As many viewers said Lady Gaga was the best, followed by Katy Perry, but nothing beats Miley Cyrus for the nastiest performance there is this year.
Watch The Music Video of 'Loco' By Enrique Iglesias Featuring Romeo Santos
The single was first digitally released in iTunes on August 24, 2013, it was followed a few days after by its music video and disc. It debuted #9 on latin iTunes charts on the first 24 hours of release, while Turn The Night Up is already reigning at the top spot.
Watch the music video of Loco by Enrique Iglesias, featuring Romeo Santos.
As you can see the music video features Puerto Rican actress Roselyn Sanchez, while Romeo Santos fades in the side line while drinking some gin with Enrique. Personally, I was hoping for the music video to become a Machete Kills sequel, what's with Danny Trejo and all. But unfortunately the video consistently held on to the the lifeless, hip-swaying pub scene, with no incident whatsoever.
No further details of the upcoming album has been released yet, but we can expect it a few weeks from now.
