'The Winds of Winter' Update: Has 'Game of Thrones' Author George R.R Martin Finished Writing the Book?

There is a rumor that the "Game of Thrones" author George R R Martin has finished writing the much-awaited book "The Winds of Winter."

The director of the upcoming "Game of Thrones" Season 6, Jack Bender, said in his recent interview with Reddit that he was able to get his hands on an advance copy of "The Winds of Winter". This statement raised many flags in the fandom community, making fans all the more excited that the book is finally ready for release, according to The Independent

However, it is also being said that, Bender may have confused the advance copy of the "Game of Thrones" 6th season with the advance copy of the 6th book.

Fans of the popular drama series "Game of Thrones" are yet to come to terms with the death of their favorite hero Jon Snow (Kit Harrington). More than a month after the Season finale was released, everyone is keeping a keen eye for the release of the next book, "Winds of Winter," as it hold crucial information about the actual fate of Jon Snow.

Martin will not get involved in penning down any of the episodes of the upcoming sixth season of "Game of Thrones," according to The Franchise Herald. 

He wrote some of the episodes for Season one to four, but stopped doing that from Season five onwards. The author wrote a blog post earlier saying that he is clearing out many interviews and other writing gigs in order to finish this book on a priority basis.

Game of Thrones Season 6 Storylines Update

Showrunners DB Weiss and David Benioff recently hinted that characters and 

storylines from author George RR Martin's books previously ignored on the show, 

may make reappearances in future seasons.

"Sometimes we're going in a different order or telling a different story,

" Benioff told Entertainment Weekly. "We think the story will all make sense at the end. 

Otherwise it will be eight wasted years."

So does that mean we could still see Lady Stoneheart in upcoming episodes? 

That would be pretty cool but one wonders what she'll do if they bring her in so late 

into the show...with the way things are shaping up, there won't be anyone left to take

revenge on.

Game of Thrones Season 6 premiere date

Game of Thrones season 6 is expected to premiere in April 2016 and 

production for the new episodes is rumoured to commence as soon as next month.

Also, the show's VFX supervisor Joe Bauer recently teased that the next season 

will feature some really massive dragons, in action. As if they didn't look big and 

deadly enough in season 5, expect them to have doubled in size for season 6. 

Looks like the makers are all set to give the big bad Dinos of Jurassic World a run for their money.

"When the dragons were small we had little foam rubber models of each dragon and 

we could carry them on and off of the set and it was no big deal," Bauer told Yahoo TV."

Last year the best we could do was a head and this year it's going to be a finger nail or something, I'm not really sure."

HBO's Game of Thrones (GoT) Season 5 might have already ended weeks ago, but the GoT fever is still on. The series' latest updates includes casting and director news, as well as possible story plots and spoilers. Meanwhile, actress Emilia Clark who plays Daenerys Targaryen, recently revealed the "valley girl" persona she adopts when out and about in the U.S.

On Tuesday, UK's The Week compiled a list of items to expect from Game of Thrones season 6.  The list includes new characters, based on casting calls, that may be joining the series.  This includes Red priestess Kinvara and a pirate-like character described as "cunning, ruthless, with a touch of madness".   Vanity Fair's Joanna Robinson says the pirate is "definitely everyone's favorite eye-patch-wearing uncle, Euron Greyjoy, aka Crow's Eye" from the books.  

Game of Thrones Season 6 will also have five directors, each handling two episodes, reports Time.  Three are GoT veterans namely Jeremy Podeswa, Mark Mylod and Miguel Sapochnik.  The two newcomers are Daniel Sackheim who previously worked on Miami Vice, The X-Files and House; and Jack Bender, best known for directing 38 episodes of Lost.

There are a lot of speculation surrounding Season 6's storyline, but none could be more popular than the character Jon Snow's resurrection.   Jon's death in Game of Thrones Season 5 is one of the most devastating scenes for the series.   Fans are thinking Melissandre's appearance at the Wall could signify a potential resurrection for the character.  British actress Emilia Clarke who plays Daenerys Targaryen, also thinks that there's a "50/50 chance." Clarke told MTV she had "no idea what's happening", but added: "If I had to bet, I'd say there's like a 50/50 chance. There's some very helpful people there who could bring him on back to life."

And while Emilia Clarke is not playing her Daenerys Targaryen character and flying on dragons, the British star is also playing a "valley girl" when she goes out and is trying to avoid fans.  Clarke revealed her "valley girl accent" during Monday's Jimmy Kimmel Live, reports Us Weekly.  The star has even given her Californian alter-ego a name - "Callie from the Valley."

Clarke's valley girl accent was impressive when she did a sample of it during the show.  When asked where her inspiration for her "Callie from the Valley" voice came from, Clarke replied, "I, like, love Clueless!"

Justin Bieber Yells ‘I Miss You, Selena’ in ‘Where Are U Now’ Video — Pic

There are SO many Selena Gomez references in Justin Bieber’s new video for ‘Where Are U Now,’ but this one might be the most telling of all! In one scene, a drawn photo of the Biebs seems to hint that he really misses his ex. Was using this pic meant to send an intentional message?!

Awwww….is Justin Bieber, 21, missing Selena Gomez, 22? In his new video for “Where Are U Now,” the singer included a drawing of himself with a word bubble that reads, “I Miss You, Selena!!” The drawings in the video were confirmed to all be fan art, but it’s pretty telling that he chose to include this one, isn’t it!?

The art shows Justin drawn onto a dark background, but the thought bubble is clearly visible. The Biebs’ rep told Media that all the video’s art was done by fans, and Justin had nothing to do with it, but he could have easily decided not to include those with messages about Selena, and he definitely didn’t — because this isn’t even the only reference to the “Good For You” singer!

It’s all pretty confusing, though, because while this pic has Justin missing his ex, another graffiti message gives the opposite view. When the video leaked on June 27, we immediately noticed the words “Jelena 5Ever!” written on a wall and blatantly crossed out with an X, leading fans to believe that Justin is insisting the relationship is OVER for good.

Still, yet another shot shows Justin in front of a white wall with the writing, “Where r now, Selena,’ to his left, once again leading us to believe he wants to reconcile. “Justin wrote this record during a tough time in his life and it comes to us sometimes, as artists, we are also just objects, and we have to take that as much as we have to use that to create,” Justin’s co-collaborators on the song, Skrillex and Diplo, said. “We all do this for you, respect that you put us here and it’s U that made the video.”

Well, I guess you’ll just have to interpret these not-so-subtle messages as best as you can, Do you think Justin intentionally decided to use these pieces of fan art? OR do you believe it was totally random? Let us know in the comments section below!

Paris Hilton ‘Freaked Out’ By Plane Crash Prank & Plans To Sue — Report

It’s no surprise Paris Hilton did not find this prank funny. After being tricked into thinking she was going to die in a horrific plane crash, the heiress plans to sue the TV show behind it all.

Paris Hilton, 34, is having trouble flying after being pranked while riding in a small plane over Dubai, claims a new report. In fact, the heiress is so distraught after her near death experience, she’s consulting lawyers in hopes of suing the TV series that tricked her.

Watch out, pranksters! Paris Hilton has had enough of your crap, and now she wants payback. No, literally — she wants to be paid back. After a video went viral showing Paris screaming and hysterical crying while the small plane she was on nearly crashed, the heiress is now building a case against the television production who pulled the prank off without a hitch.

The horrifying experience has left Paris “totally freaked out” . Unfortunately for Paris, flying from city to city is part of her job, so she can’t exactly be backing out of commitments because she’s scared of planes now. Because of this, Paris has been consulting her legal team and they believe she has a case due to “emotional distress,” the report claims.

Paris has claimed that she did not know about the prank, nor did anyone in her camp. She is also claiming that the prank was actually much worse than it appears on video, if you can believe that. According to Paris, the plane nearly hit the water and then at the very last minute pulled up into a steep incline that felt like a loop to her. So scary!
