If you're a Game of Thrones fan – AND you happen to be loaded – then you're in luck.

Luxury consierge sites are selling tickets the the premiere of the new Game of Thrones episode, but it's not coming cheap with tickets going for up to €10,000.

And according to TMZ, you won't get much for that either. There's no guaranteed photo ops, autographs or even a good seat at the April 10th event.

Not even a good seat? We'll think we'll stay at home.

*Spoilers for season 5*

HBO have released twenty images from the hotly anticipated upcoming season of the hit fantasy show, Game of Thrones and people are understandably getting very excited. 

While eagerly await the show's return on April 24, snaps from the set reveal some clues of what to expect from the sixth season of the show. 

Arya Stark, played by Maisie Williams is seen in her newly blind state while not much is given away in pictures of her sister, Sansa, played by Sophie Turner other than that she and Theon survived their dangerous escape from Winterfell. 

We also seem to receive confirmation of Myrcella Baratheon's death at the hands of an aggrieved Ellaria Sand while we get a snap of Daenerys looking well, just beautiful. 

And we also cannot get over how old and tall little Bran has gotten. We didn't see the youngest living Stark child for the entirety of the last season and it seems that the 16-year-old actor had a bit of a growth spurt. 

And he appears to be standing (has someone cured his paralysis?) 

We don't know about you, but these snaps have seriously wetted our appetite for the new season. 

Bring on April.

So you're sitting down to dinner, you turn around, and Ryan Gosling's at the table behind you.

That's exactly what happened to Game Of Thrones star Sophie Turner over the weekend – except we should mention at this point that she was at the SAG Awards, so it's not quite as unusual as spotting Mr. Gosling in your local Supermac's.

But Sophie is a bit of a Gosling fangirl and so she couldn't let this prime opportunity for a selfie go without acting on it. 

How to get the photo you NEED without looking like a total crazed lunatic in front of Ryan Gosling? Take the snap without him noticing, obviously:

"Sorry boys. I'm off the market," Sophie wrote next to the ecstatic shot of her posing in front of an oblivious Ryan.

We love it. 

Of course, Sophie's probably been the subject of a fair few fangirl/fanboy moments herself, considering she stars on one of the most popular TV shows of the last decade.

The actress was at the SAGs with her Game Of Thrones crew, and the show picked up an award for Outstanding Action Performance by a Stunt Ensemble in a Comedy or Drama Series. 

A good hustle all round.

Game of Thrones is quite possibly the cruellest show on TV and the popular fantasy series is certainly living up to this title by tormenting us with a teaser poster for season six.

And yes, you 've guessed it! The poster features none other than our beloved Jon Snow, played by the lovely Kit Harrington, who was murdered in the final moments of season five. 

Though he looks a bit worse for wear, he certainly looks alive!

We can only hope. 

The season finale was definitely a tough one to swallow with a mere SIX character deaths, but it's safe to say that Jon’s was the most devastating. 

And just when we were unsure how we could possibly go on without the brooding stares of the deliciously curly-haired Snow, HBO had to go and get us all emotional again.

We now have to wait until APRIL for the series to return but when this torturous poster was dropped, Twitter understandably lost its mind.

 

We know that Kit has renewed his contract for both season six AND seven of the series but we also know that we are talking about Game of Thrones, a show that literally thrives on torturing its fans.

So in true Jon Snow fashion, we literally know nothing.

Game of Thrones fans you can rest a little bit easier with this news.

Contrary to the rumours that began circulating not too long ago, fan-favourite (dare we say it: possible Queen in the North) Sophie Turner is not going anywhere. 

The actress, who plays Sansa Stark was reportedly being poached from the HBO series to star in Outlander.

The time-travel fantasy romance is a huge hit with fans across the pond and many were speculating she would abandon Westeros in favour of series adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s books.

EW caught up with the actress to settle the rumours once and for all, and many avid TV fans were getting nervous at her silence on the matter. 

“Somebody mentioned [the role] to me when I was on a red carpet somewhere, that I’d make a great Brianna, and I think the guy Sam retweeted it or something,” she explained.

“So people started talking like I was in it. I’ve never seen the show. I’m sure it’s great, but I’m loyal to my one true love!” 

Phew!

Contractually, series regular actors (such as Sophie) are simply not allowed to take a job that could possibly undermine the series to which they are already attached. So it would have been a slim possibility of Sophie leaving GoT. 

However, as everyone who loves the series knows, the powers that be at HBO like to keep fans on edge when it comes to which characters will be coming back- ahem, looking at you Jon Snow.

Meanwhile, there has been one GoT actor lined up for a role on Outlander. 

Clive Russell will be joining the cast for the second series according to the Outlander Facebook page.  He appeared on Season 3 of GoT as Brynden ‘The Blackfish’ Tully. Interestingly, his GoT character is actually related to a current Outlander series regular.

Tobias Menzies (Edmure Tully, also suspiciously absent since Season 3) currently stars in the series and it looks like two will be sharing the screen again.

Have you ever gotten creeped out by someone, and you didn’t ever know why exactly?

You’re definitely not the only one, and now scientists are trying to find out why it is that we feel this way.

A new survey from Know College social psychologist Franics McAndrew tried to uncover what characteristics it is that make someone seem creepy.

Why do people make you give you a creepy feeling?

Lisa Wade, a sociology professor and founder of the blog Sociological Images adds that “things we know are dangerous scare us- but if we’re unsure if we’re under threat, that’s when things get creepy.”

 

So, when are we more likely to feel unsure about someone?

The number one reasons people found themselves creeped out by another was if they felt they were being watched.

The second characteristic which people attributed towards being creepy was when someone touched them frequently while they were speaking. Number three was people steering the conversation toward sex. 

For his study, McAndrew surveyed more than 1,300 people between the ages of 18 and 77 about behaviours and characteristics associated with creepiness.

The study first suggested a situation in which a trustworthy friend met someone who they thought was creepy.

Survey participants then rated the likelihood, on a scale from 1 ("very unlikely") to 5 ("very likely"), of the creepy person to possess certain physical attributes, like "greasy hair, which scored an average creepy level of 3.9.  

Of those surveyed, 95 per cent considered men to be more likely to be creeps than women. Surprising absolutely no one, the top profession thought to be held by a creepy person was clown, followed by taxidermists, sex shop owners, and funeral directors.

Actress Maisie Williams is best known for her portrayal of badass Arya Stark on Game of Thrones.

The 18-year old is also going to be making an appearance in another fan-favourite TV series Doctor Who.

While she seems to be keeping pretty busy with her acting career, she’s also not one to forget her friends from before she was famous.

The teenager has donated €13,000 to a charity set up by her friend from school with cancer.

According to the Bath Chronicle, the Game of Thrones star, donated the money to Willberry Wonder Pony Charity after winning it on a radio show.

The charity was set up by 17-year-old Hannah Francis who is a pupil at Norton Hill School in Midsomer Norton.

Maisie and Hannah know each other from school and when Maisie heard about the charity fund, she was keen to do whatever she could to help out.

Hannah, who is a talented horse rider, developed osteosarcoma, an aggressive form of bone cancer earlier this year.

While undergoing treatment, she has turned her fight against cancer into a mission to #KickCancersButt. She’s also turned her mascot Willberry the Wonder pony into a global force against cancer.

Maisie won the money after appearing on Absolute Radio's 'Who's calling Christian?'

 

She took the top prize after being voted the winner of best phone call, beating the likes of Sir Bruce Forsyth, Jim Carter and Sharon Osbourne.

Currently filming the next series of Game of Thrones, she told the station how the two girls met and how Hannah had started the charity.

​Maisie told listeners: "It is a heart breaking story but Hannah is doing really well."

A social media favourite, Maisie also told listeners to follow Hannah's story on social media and through her own personal Twitter account.

The Willberry the Wonder Pony charity has raised around €55,000 and the money will be divided between cancer charities of Hannah's choice.

Anyone would be a fool not to tap into George R.R. Martin's other works of fiction, after Game of Thrones turned out to be such a major TV hit. 

So, it's not surprising when Mr Martin announced on Saturday that the HBO-owned Cinemax has optioned the rights to his 1989 novella Skin Trade. And while the series lacks dragons and white walkers, it does involve mystical werewolves. 

The story was originally part of an anthology that included stories from the horror kings, Stephen King and Dan Simmons. It follows a female private investigator called Randi Wade and her friend Willie Flambeaux – who just so happens to be a werewolf. 

So, when mutilated, skinless bodies start to show up around town, Randi is on the case.

Martin won't be writing or running the show, though. If the pilot gets picked up, George and Cinemax have hired Prison Break alum Kalinda Vasquez – and George is quite confident that she will write the show well.

"[She] seems to get Willie and Randi, and her pitch to Cinemax was one of the most polished and professional I've ever heard."

It seems only good things can come from this!

Game of Thrones fans, are you ready for the best news ever?!

George RR Martin, author of the original Game of Thrones books, has reportedly revealed that a film is in the works. 

“There will be a movie but I will not be involved”, the author told The Daily Star at the Emmys after party. 

“I have too much to do. That is something HBO, DB [Weiss] and David [Benioff] are dealing with.”

But even after that dismissive statement, George made it clear that he puts his fans first. 

“I have two more books to finish and I still have so much to do. The pressure is on. I am such a slow writer and the fans get upset that I don’t write faster.”

The film is likely to be released one the TV series is over, but this isn't the first time HBO has turned series into box-office hits. Both Sex and the City and Entourage made it to the big screen after their TV shows ended – and were both a major success.

One of our favourite looks from Sunday night's Emmy Awards was Game of Thrones star, Maisie Williams. 

She donned a very soft retro look with a pastel pink strapless gown and fluff-top heels (which we adore).

Something else we adored on the night was Maisie's make-up.

Her skin glowed from one end of the red carpet to the other and we have just found out that's all thanks to Kiehl's skincare. 

Makeup artist, Kindra Mann, was responsible for the stars look on the night.

“I was totally inspired tonight by Maisie's retro feeling pink dress. I loved that the colour and texture gave it a vintage feel."

"We wanted the makeup to feel that same way, but with a more modern twist.”

“To keep Maisie’s skin looking fresh all night I started off by pressing a few drops of Kiehl’s Daily Reviving Concentrate onto her skin before applying a little of Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream for added moisture."

"I prepped the under eye area with a little of Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado.”

Sounds like a dreamy pampering session to us!

“For the lips we wanted a nice nude color that was a little softer than the pink in the dress.  I started off by applying Kiehl’s Lip Balm #1 to hydrate the lips." 

"I then added Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo in #1 Pale Pink Nude to give it that perfect nude color.”

And what's more, we can get our hands on these gorgeous products too! Everything used on Maisie is available from Dundrum Town Centre and Arnotts!

Now this was a red carpet to remember!

Big time red carpet events have been scrutinised of late for their rather boring and obvious fashion sense – but last night's Emmy Awards certainly turned the style game up a notch. 

Never have we seen so many innovative, daring and risky-yet-classy choices from our favourite stars on TV. 

From well established labels to never-before-mentioned designers, here's a look at our top ten looks:

Kerry Washington

This metallic dot lace number from Marc Jacobs was a brilliant choice for Kerry. Extravagant yet elegant, her look is a top player for us. 

 

Laura Prepon

Laura looked like she was a Grecian Queen last night in this Christian Siriano number. Her black hair contrasted with the red and gold beautifully. She was certainly dressed to kill. 

 

Claire Danes

The pencil-thin, slick-sequined stripes combined with heavy chain detail straps was an unconventional choice for Claire, yet we love this Prada number on her so much.

 

Kiernan Shipka

This Dior combination is odd, but dreamy. The delicately embroidered, lavishly gilded top with black pencil trousers is a refreshing take for the young Hollywood star. Will Kiernan be out next style crush?

 

Sophie Turner

Game of Thrones actress, Sophie went for sophisticated-cool last night. With mostly all attendees wearing dresses, we love this Galvan jumpsuit with a blue velvet top.  

 

Sofia Vergara

Hugging her in all the right places, Sofia looked like an old Hollywood movie star last night. The Saint John number was the perfect combination of sexy yet classy. 

 

Taraji P. Henson

We're obsessed with Taraji's custom Alexander Wang dress. Detailing a little transparency through the skirt and a keyhole cut-out with chain straps – it sent us to style heaven. 

 

Uzo Aduba

Uzo won an Emmy last night and to collect her award she graced the stage in a pink (and fabulous) Jonathan Cohen gown. This is definitely one for innovation and we love the grey detail across her waist. Very art deco.

 

Danielle Brooks

Another OITNB actress wowed on the red carpet last night. Danielle shined like the sun in this Christian Siriano number. Top marks for jumping out of the safe colour zones. 

 

Sarah Hyland

Sarah wore a Zac Posen dress last night ans we're crushing on the autumn colour. She styled it perfectly with a short, choppy hair do' and matching jewellery. Brownie points for the same colour nails!
