In an interview with ET, when asked if we will see a more vulnerable or even more ruthless side of Cersei in Season 8, Headey simply responded "I think people will be surprised at every turn this season.”
When asked how Headey would like to see Cersei’s story end, she said "I think I had many fantasies about how Cersei would -- if she were to -- die. But I think it was, every year, anyone's lying if they say they didn't kind of rush to the end of each script and go, 'Oh, PHEW!'"

Happy Little Bob Ross Action Figure From NECA Announced
Toy Fair 2019 was filled with great announcements, but perhaps none are as charming as NECA's 8-inch clothed Bob Ross action figure.

In addition to real pants, shirt, and belt with chunky buckle, the Bob Ross figure includes an easel upon which Bob Ross creates magical landscapes using the wet-on-wet painting technique, brushes and paint knife to tease out entire new worlds from the canvas, and a palette loaded with colors from Alizarin Crimson to Phthalo Blue.
Avengers: Endgame Is Gwyneth Paltrow’s Last Marvel Movie
Pepper Potts actress Gwyneth Paltrow intends to retire the character following her role in Avengers: Endgame, though she hasn’t ruled out the possibility of making cameo appearances down the line.
In an interview with Variety, the 46-year-old star said “I mean, I’m a bit old to be in a suit and all that at this point. I feel very lucky that I did it, because I actually got talked into it. I was friends with
Jon Favreau. It was such a wonderful experience making the first Iron Man and then to watch how important it has become to the fans.”
“I feel honored to be a part of something that people are so passionate about,” she continued. “Of course, if they said, ‘Can you come back for a day?’ I will always be there if they need me.”

If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
Thirty years ago, Caller ID took away the mystery of answering phone calls, and today, video doorbells bring that same convenience to your front porch. Not only do these smart gadgets give you a live video feed of who’s at the door, most also include security features like motion detection and a two-way intercom. This is crucial if you want to keep your home protected from potential intruders, catch package thieves in the act, or just avoid door-to-door solicitors. But with so many video doorbells flooding the market, it can be hard to choose which one to buy. I've done the research so you don't have to, so here are my picks for the best video doorbells.
Arrested Development Season 5, Part 2 Coming in March
Netflix announced Tuesday that Season 5, Part 2 of Arrested Development will be launching on the streaming platform March 15.
Part 2 will consist of eight episodes and will begin with its focus on Buster being out on the run, the 'smart' border wall still not being funded, and Lucille 2's location being unknown.
The second part of Season 5 will dive further into the wall and George-Michael's software hoax that has risks of being revealed, along with the gay mafia making becoming involved in the Bluth family drama.
The rebooted series from Netflix that began with Season 4 – even after the remixed version, Fateful Consequences – was still dubbed the weakest of the Arrested Development series from many critics, including IGN.
French Fencing Federation Recognizes Lightsaber Duels as Competitive Sport
The force is strong with the French Fencing Federation, which now recognizes lightsaber dueling as a competitive sport.
Per the Associated Press, this now puts George Lucas’ laser swords alongside the foil, epee and sabre - the traditional blades used in the sport. Lightsabers, however, will not be recognized at the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympics.
During 3-minute matches, participants use rigid polycarbonate lightsaber replicas, with LED-lighting giving them their iconic glow - some even use the more expensive models that generate sound effects. Allowing lightsaber duels into the French Fencing Federation is largely a move to entice more young people to get into the sport, and to become more active in general.
