We're halfway through the third season of 'Game of Thrones,' and things slowed down a little bit for last night's episode.

Let's take a look at what happened. (As always, spoilers ahead. Also, it's a HBO show with a lot of violence and other naughty things. So NSFW unless you work for King Joffrey.

Some things were meant to be. The Joffrey Bieber Tumblr is the natural marriage of two people everyone (well, almost everyone) loves to hate: Justin Bieber and Joffrey Baratheon from ‘Game of Thrones.’ They’re both blonde, smug and a little too big for their britches (or they would be, if Justin Bieber didn’t insist on [...]

We are more than slightly enamored with Maryland sorority sister Rebecca Martinson's insane-o email that went viral last week, which led to dramatic readings performed by everyone from Michael Shannon to Barbie.
