Winter (and dragon goodness) is coming!
To say we are huge Game of Thrones fans is a bit of an understatement. We tore through the books, the shirts (Team Stark, natch!) and we've re-watched season one more times than we can count.
So you can imagine our excitement when HBO debuted an "in production" video tonight before Boardwalk Empire, which featured never-before-seen footage and gave fans a first look at new characters from George R.R. Martin's series like Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane), Melisandre (Carice van Houten) and more!

will.i.am And Jennifer Lopez Glow In The Dark At AMAs

Sunday night's (November 20) 2011 American Music Awards were full of onstage collaborations, and one of the most entertaining was will.i.am, Jennifer Lopez and Mick Jagger's debut performance of "T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)."
In between two life-size stereos, Jenny from the Block kicked off the bass-heavy number with the song's chorus line: "You can go hard or you can go home." Shortly into the performance, you could tell this hitmaking crew clearly went hard. Utilizing the pitch-black Nokia Theatre and dancers' lit-up ensembles, will.i.am delivered a complete glow-in-the-dark performance that included floating dancers, a headless will and even a blink-and-you'll-miss-it disappearing act.the norht face fleece
Lopez played up her part as featured guest, and even though Jagger was missing from the action, the Rolling Stones frontman did appear via video for his portion of the dance tune. To conclude the number, glowing confetti filled the air.
"T.H.E (The Hardest Ever)" is the lead single from will's forthcoming solo album, #willpower, which is expected to drop next year. Produced by Audiobot, Dallas Austin and will himself, "T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever)" was released on iTunes immediately after the AMA performance. Rich Lee directed the video for the song, which was shot in Los Angeles and London; it is expected to premiere later this month.

Netflix Takes Content Cue From Cable

[ARRESTED] Everett Collection
The cast of 'Arrested Development,' portraying the Bluth family. Netflix plans to revive the series, but the number of new episodes hasn't been set.
Netflix Inc.'s plan to resurrect the cult television comedy "Arrested Development" highlights the way the DVD and video-streaming service is increasingly mirroring the programming mix on cable-TV channels, with a blend of reruns and original shows.
Netflix said late Friday that it struck a deal with studio Twentieth Century Fox Television and production company Imagine Television to be the sole U.S. outlet for the revived series, which is slated to return in 2013.
"Arrested Development," about the dysfunctional Bluth family, attracted rave reviews and a fervent fan base, but not one big enough to save it from cancellation in 2006, after three seasons.
The accord envisions bringing the show back for roughly 10 episodes, said a person familiar with the matter, though the cast and exact length of the run have yet to be worked out. Deals to bring back cast members haven't been completed, and the run could be longer or shorter than 10 episodes, this person said.
The plan could be risky for Netflix. While it isn't unheard of for a channel or platform to pick up a show that has been canceled, the return of a live-action series that has been off the air so long is "highly unusual," said TV historian Tim Brooks.
Netflix declined to comment on terms of the deal, or on anything about the production. Both Twentieth Century Fox Television, and Fox Broadcasting, which aired the original show, are units of News Corp., which owns The Wall Street Journal.
The deal reflects Netflix's continuing effort to improve the array of programming on its streaming-video service, which still offers mostly old movies and TV shows. It isn't the first time Netflix has commissioned an original series. The company said earlier this year that it will air 26 episodes of "House of Cards," a new drama featuring Kevin Spacey, starting in late 2012. It also has explored other potential deals for original shows, according to media executives.
The programming at most cable channels evolved in much the same way. The channels started with movies and reruns of TV series and then began commissioning original series.
"Our content-acquisition strategy is unchanged over the past few years: Add a broad range of movies and TV shows to the catalog for our members to watch instantly streaming from Netflix," said Netflix spokesman Steve Swasey. "That includes licensing original content."
The return of "Arrested Development" also shows how Netflix and its on-demand subscription service are funneling new revenue to shows that sometimes have limited appeal in reruns or syndication. Those programs include series whose plots follow closely from one episode to the next, such as the 1960s drama "Mad Men," which Netflix licensed from Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. earlier this year.
Reruns of such shows typically fetch less money from cable channels and local TV stations in syndication because they are difficult to watch out of order. But Netflix pays handsomely for them because its users like watching one episode after another on the service, media executives say, and that is changing studios' calculus.
"Arrested Development" has a similarly continuous narrative structure. Some jokes set up in one episode don't pay off until later episodes.
How much Netflix will pay for the show is unclear, but producers had been seeking as much as $3 million per episode, people familiar with the situation said.
There have been efforts to save "Arrested Development" since its cancellation, with talk of a movie surfacing repeatedly in intervening years. Recently, the producers behind the series, including creator Mitch Hurwitz, began pitching a limited run of new episodes leading up to a movie, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
Netflix's disclosure of the deal follows a months-long rough patch for the company. Customers rebelled after Netflix raised prices for a popular service by 60% in July, and then announced a since-aborted plan to spin off its DVD-rental-by-mail into a business called Qwikster in September.
The "Arrested Development" deal should provide a minor boost to Netflix, said Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter, but it won't make up for the shows it will lose when its streaming deal with pay-TV channel Starz expires early next year.
So far, however, fans appear happy about the deal. Some took to Twitter to say "Great news!" and " the north face WOOOOOOOOO!"

After a night of electro-fizzy, TRON-imitating, backing track-assisted performances, LMFAO appropriately closed the 2011 American Music Awards (Check out the winners!) with a thumping medley of “Party Rock Anthem” and “Sexy And I Know It.”
The afro’d duo provided all the typical pop tropes people have come to expect at an awards show like this. You know, giant robot heads, laser beams shooting from the ceiling, glittery bras, and an entire crowd of people wearing 3-D glasses — the stuff music is really about, at least according to the AMAs.
One thing most performance don’t have, though? A dancing cameo by pop culture’s favorite 5’3″ teen sensation: Justin Bieber.
Wearing a yellow pair of LMFAO’s trademark Zubaz pants, Bieber hopped into the middle of the rowdy dance circle and shuffled out a chorus to “Party Rock Anthem” while wearing a sleeveless black shirt with the word “SEXY” emblazoned across the chest. Check out the finale performance below (Bieber appears around the 2:45 mark):
