Daenerys Targaryen is easily the fiercest badass on Game of Thrones, but so is the woman who plays her. In celebration of International Women's Day on Wednesday, Emilia Clarke penned a powerful essay about feminism for The Huffington Post UK. In the moving piece, the 30-year-old actress touches on gender equality, her feminist upbringing, and how we can all change the world with kindness. She also explained why she doesn't have to justify her nude scenes on Game of Thrones, saying, "If you've watched Game of Thrones then, spoiler, you will have seen me in the nude. There are plenty of ways in which people want me to respond to questions about this fact. And plenty of reasons why I do not feel the need to justify myself." Check out a few excerpts of her essay below. "My life has been shaped by a true sense of equality; it was...

Here’s your daily dose of an indie film, web series, TV pilot, what-have-you in progress, as presented by the creators themselves. At the end of the week, you’ll have the chance to vote for your favorite.
In the meantime: Is this a project you’d want to see? Tell us in the comments.
The Cancer Conflict
Logline: Two cancer patients, two different treatments. We explore why the UK has the lowest cancer survival rate in Western Europe.
Elevator Pitch:
If you get cancer, what do you chose to treat it with in the country with the worst cancer survival rate in Western Europe? You speak to experts who say chemo is the answer and then Google tells you there are loads of solutions outside the system that work, but aren’t clinically trialled and approved and the system disregards. You’re torn – and yet you still have to do something.

But today, 18-year-old vlogger Alexis G. Zall, who also hosts her own chat show on the fullscreen Svod platform, announced she was a lesbian in a way that almost seemed like a gloriously casual afterthought.
In a video titled 18 Tips For 18 Years (below), posted on her birthday, Zall prefaced number 8 by saying, “I’m about to get gay.”
“It is totally okay to be a girl who likes girls or a boy who likes boys. And me, personally, I am a girl who likes girls,” Zall said, before imagining the reaction of her more than 1 million subscribers: “Did that bitch just come out?” Zall added that she wouldn’t rule out dating guys in the future -- and that that was totally okay,...

Pink has had it with the body-shamers. The outspoken singer slammed the recent criticism over her weight on the red carpet at the Bmi Pop Awards yesterday, telling Entertainment Tonight that she doesn't "take well to bullying." "I never have. I'm not a person that will be bullied. I'm not a person that will stand by watching other people bullied." She explained that she feels a real sense of responsibility to stand up for herself, especially since becoming a mother to daughter Willow four years ago. "I'm raising a girl. I am a girl. I have feelings. People think I take no s--t and I'm tough, tougher than nails, but I'm a human being." Pink...

Pretty in pink! P!nk was definitely felling her namesake Tuesday night, when she donned a rosy dress for the Bmi Pop Awards in Beverly Hills, California. The star donned a flowy gown with build-in cape, accessorizing with chandelier earrings and natural makeup. The "Just Give Me A Reason" songstress made it date night at the event with her motocross rider hubby, Carey Hart, as the adorable couple shared a kiss while walking the red carpet. We think the star has never looked better, but unfortunately the 35-year-old has had to shut down weight-shaming critics just last month. Back in April, the star showed off her curves in a chic black dress -- but some Twitter users claimed the star had "packed on the pounds." The pop-star slammed her haters via her Twitter page.

Let’s rewind back about two, let’s make that three, decades. Back then there were only magazines. People would receive a monthly copy at home or buy them at a newsstand. The magazines contained interviews with their favorite stars, several photoshoots, often a poster and some gossip.

Freida Pinto would like two poached eggs, but the trouble is, only one arrived with her avocado toast and salad. Protein, she says, is essential on a day like today. With impeccable manners, 30-year-old Pinto asks for her order to be corrected. I feel for the woman. She's working through lunch and talking with me at the restaurant in New York's Crosby Street Hotel during what's an already long press day for her new film, Desert Dancer. Source: Popsugar Photography / Allie Merriam Without further ado, another egg arrives. All is well. Getting Desert Dancer to theaters has taken some time. The movie, which began filming almost three years ago, is about a group of friends in Iran whose shared passion for dance leads to trouble. It's loosely based on the true story of the performer Afshin Ghaffarian. The film became something of a passion project for Pinto, who undertook a year of rigorous dance study,...

Daisy Lewellyn of Bravo's "Blood, Sweat & Heels," airing Sundays, may be every woman's ideal shopping buddy.
"I definitely have a strong focus on how to pay less for products, how to live the champagne life on a sparkling water budget and how to look like your favorite celebrity," says the author of "Never Pay Retail Again: Shop Smart, Spend Less and Look Your Best Ever."
Lewellyn takes a very logical approach, differentiating between fads and trends. "I love classic trends," she tells Zap2it. "Trench coats and pencil skirts and cardigans, and they are still trendy."
Lewellyn offers a cautionary note about fads. "If you are over, let's say 28, you may want to shy away from fads," she says. "Trends are floral prints and stripes, but fads are like chucker hats and diamonds in your teeth. A fad is something that comes in really strong in an influx and is out of the door.

Lewellyn takes a very logical approach, differentiating between fads and trends. "I love classic trends," she tells Zap2it. "Trench coats and pencil skirts and cardigans, and they are still trendy."
Lewellyn offers a cautionary note about fads. "If you are over, let's say 28, you may want to shy away from fads," she says. "Trends are floral prints and stripes, but fads are like chucker hats and diamonds in your teeth. A fad is something that comes in really strong in an influx and is out of the door.

It won't hit shelves until this fall, but Lena Dunham's giving fans a taste of her upcoming book "Not That Kind of Girl."
The "Girls" creator and star took to Twitter on Monday (Feb. 10) with a short tweet: "It's official. Coming 10/7/15." Attached to the tweet was a link to an Instagram photo of the book jacket, an all-text cover that brings to mind Jacqueline Susann's '60s novel, "Valley of the Dolls."
On the Amazon pre-order page, Dunham describes the book herself. Brace yourself, it's a lot:
"If I can take what I've learned in this life and make one treacherous relationship or degrading job easier for you, perhaps even prevent you from becoming temporarily vegan, then every misstep of mine will have been worthwhile. This book contains stories about wonderful nights with terrible boys and terrible days with wonderful friends, about ambition and the two existential crises...

If the 3rd annual Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards could be categorised as a David vs Goliath battle between The Rocket and The Great Gatsby, Goliath is the hands-down winner.
Baz Luhrmann.s opulent romantic drama won six awards tonight, for best film, director, adapted screenplay, lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio, supporting actor Joel Edgerton and supporting actress Elizabeth Debicki.
That.s in addition to the six awards in craft categories plus the Aacta award for outstanding achievement in visual effects bestowed on Luhrmann.s film on Tuesday.
Kim Mordaunt's The Rocket, which had 12 nominations versus 14 for Gatsby, had to be content with just one trophy, for Mordaunt.s original screenplay.
The outcome is likely to reignite the debate about the near-impossibility of comparing a lavishly-mounted 3D film financed by Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures, which cost $160 million, with an independently-funded Lao-set film from a first-time director budgeted at about $2 million.
