Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon premieres August 21st – The Verge

HBO’s upcoming Game of Thrones spinoff, House of the Dragon, will debut on HBO and HBO Max on August 21st. The company announced the date Wednesday with a picture of what appears to be a hatching dragon egg — which hopefully means we’ll see at least one of the terrifying beasts in the upcoming show. House of the Dragon is based on George R.R. Martin’s 2019 book Fire and Blood and is focused on, as the name suggests, House Targaryen. It’s set 200 years before the events of the hugely popular Game of Thrones, which featured Daenerys Targaryen as one of the main characters. HBO first announced House of the Dragon was in the works in October 2019. The company debuted a teaser trailer in October 2021, though it was light on plot details. House of the Dragon’s August 21st release da...

Mother, 62, says suspicious chest mark turned out to be cancerous – Daily Mail

A mother has claimed having a facial saved her life after her beautician spotted a suspicious mark which turned out to be cancerous.  Jillian Murray, from Cairns in Australia, went to see doctors about the discoloured area above her right breast in June last year — but was told it was nothing to worry about. However, during a pampering session three months later the 62-year-old childcare centre owner was told to get it checked again 'as soon as possible'. Beautician of six years Leigh Murphy, 41, who runs the Rejuvie Skin Therapy salon, said she 'didn't like' the mark which now resembled a 'red bruise'. After an appointment with a skin specialist a week later, Ms Murray was diagnosed with stage 2 skin cancer in her chest. Doctors also spotted skin cancer on her nose, which neither Ms Murr...

Chris Rock stays tight-lipped about Will Smiths Oscars slap as he arrives in Boston for show – Daily Mail

A leaked letter from the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences revealed Wednesday that leaders are 'outraged and upset' at Will Smith's behavior at the Oscars, and that it could take weeks to dish out punishment for the actor who slapped Chris Rock during Sunday night's awards show. The letter, obtained by CNN just hours before the Academy is expected to hold a meeting to discuss the incident, states the altercation 'overshadowed' what was meant to be a celebration of the film community.  The news comes after Rock, 57, was spotted in public for the first time since Sunday night's Oscars. He kept his head down under a ball cap as he arrived in Boston around 6 p.m. on Tuesday ahead of his sold-out show Wednesday and quickly got into a waiting vehicle refusing to answer any questions ...
