OMG. Actually, you see the side of Jessica Simpson’s son Ace’s face, but could you just die at baby Rocco’s delicious face and chubby baby body? Rocco is her BFF Cacee Cobb’s baby boy with hubby Donald Faison. I seriously am in love this boy’s happy face. What a way to start the day….

If I had drained the beautiful color out of these pictures, cropped out the modernity, and posted them in black and white you would SWEAR they were vintage, right? The famed Easter Parade, on the avenue, Fifth Avenue, continues in 2014. My old friend Robert Bryan, photographer and former men’s fashion director for The New York Times, snapped these yesterday of these peacocks in period attire, many of which are his friends and comrades in bringing back the past. You may remember my New Year’s Day photos taken this year in his time 1928 capsule apartment – yeah, THAT guy. Plus, you get a bonus – dogs in pastel top hats and a the last scene of Easter Parade, with Fred Astaire and Judy Garland!

Last night’s episode of Game of Thrones contained a scene SO TWISTED and SO WRONG on SO MANY LEVELS, it beggars the imagination. Read about the internet’s fury and hear actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s defense of his character after the jump.
So Jamie Lannister raped his sister over the body of their dead son. Cersei pleaded with him, then gave in to it a tiny bit, then pleaded with him some more, then kind of kissed him, then struggled… while 4 million viewers screamed “NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.” It was BEYOND perverse. It was BEYOND disgusting. It was BEYOND horrendous. It was monstrous. It was nauseating. And the Tumblrverse has gone predictably kookoo bananas over the scene, howling that that show runners David Benioff and DB Weiss have DESTROYED the books – first with Khal Drogo’s rape of Daenarys in season one, which NEVER HAPPENED in George RR Martin’s version –and now with THIS. The consensus is that Jaimie spent the last season becoming a character you could sympathize with, a character you could root for, and all that humanizing development was basically thrown out the window last night.
The Daily Beast said “last night’s episode may have boasted the most disturbing sequence in Game of Thrones history. In fact, when you put it in context, it may be the most screwed up sex scene ever broadcast on television.” They asked Jamie’s portrayer, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, about his take on it.
“It is fucked up,” Coster-Waldau he tells them. “It doesn’t get any darker than that, does it?”
“There’s a moment in the scene where the hand comes up and she has this face of disgust, and Jaime says, Why have the Gods made me love a hateful woman? He wants her, and wants everything to go back to the way it was. But there’s no way back.”
And then Jaime attacks Cersei, ripping her dress. She yells, “Jaime, not here…please…stop it!” Her objections fall on deaf ears, and he throws her first against the altar of their dead son, and then to the ground beside it.
“To understand the psychology behind it, and why he goes as far as he does, was really difficult,” says Coster-Waldau. “To me it became, When does physical desire take over? It’s one of those things where he’s been holding it back for so long, and then out of anger he grabs her, and instinct takes over, and he lets loose. He says, I don’t care. He wants to not care. He has to connect to her, and he knows this is the most fucked up way for it to happen, but in that moment, he knows it’s all he can do. It’s an act of powerlessness.”
“It was tough to shoot, as well,” says Coster-Waldau. “There is significance in that scene, and it comes straight from the books—it’s George R.R. Martin’s mind at play. It took me awhile to wrap my head around it, because I think that, for some people, it’s just going to look like rape. The intention is that it’s not just that; it’s about two people who’ve had this connection for so many years, and much of it is physical, and much of it has had to be kept secret, and this is almost the last thing left now. It’s him trying to force her back and make him whole again because of his stupid hand.”
The scene plays out differently than the source material, A Storm of Swords—author George R.R. Martin’s third novel in his series A Song of Ice and Fire, upon which Game of Thrones is based. In the novel, the sex scene between Jaime and Cersei is more consensual. But here, it seems anything but.
So is it rape?
“Yes, and no,” says Coster-Waldau. “There are moments where she gives in, and moments where she pushes him away. But it’s not pretty.”
Below, the scene as it was written in the book:
Very different, huh?

Paparazzi pics of Marc Jacobs, Phoebe Price, V-Hud, Cameron Dallas, Adam Ant, and the saddest image I think you’ll ever see: Peaches Geldof’s casket painted with bittersweet pictures of her family.
Peaches Geldof’s casket with heartbreaking images of her family painted on it, at St Mary Magdalene and St Lawrence church in Davington, Kent. Those dogs, though, and the PEACHES, omg, it’s too much.
Marc Jacobs shovels pasta into his mouth during lunch at Sant Ambroeus in the West Village. It didn’t think they were allowed to do that. Fashion people. Carbs. My whole world view is shattered.
Vine star (implied: HUH?) Cameron Dallas takes a dip in the ocean in Miami Beach. See Friday’s WOW Report post for more pics.
Vanessa Hudgens shows off her fabulously toned abs (and glowsticks) at the Coachella music festival in Indio. They don’t look real. It looks like she’s wearing a plastic set of abs from the costume shop.
Adam Ant performs “Dirk Wears White Sox” live for the first time ever at the Eventim Apollo in London.
Awww. The great love of my life Brandon “Fire Crotch” Davis at Coachella.
And the best dressed celebrity a Coachella, hands down, the lovely Miss Phoebe Price. THAT’S how you do celebrity hippie chic.

Mala Mala, a new documentary about Puerto Rico’s diverse trans scene, starring Puerto Rico’s most visible trans activist, Ivana Fred, and season six RuPaul’s Drag Race contestant April Carrión, received a standing ovation after its world premiere last night at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival. Watch the trailer below.
April, I’m told, wore a beautiful black gown emblazoned with the film’s credits down the back – and the photographer’s went NUTS.
Funded partly by Kickstarter, Mala Mala was three years in the making, and brings together very different stories — from Sandy, an unapologetic sex worker in San Juan’s rough La 15 neighborhood, to Paxx, a brave young trans man with no apparent local support system, to Samantha, a striking yet timid person who faces the world with haunting optimism. From Queerty:
“At turns tender, funny, raw and gorgeous, the film also covers a profound moment in local LGBT history: last year’s passage of Senate Bill 238, which bans discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
“The bill really just came up during the last eight months of production,” Sickles said. “We got a call from Ivana one day saying like, ‘Oh hey, we’re going to the senate to fight for our rights.’ We’re like, ‘What? Okay, so we need to be there.’ So we were lucky enough to follow it along, and to see it passed into law was golden for us.”
Another part of the film reveals the excitement within The Doll House, Puerto Rico’s acclaimed drag troupe, as April Carrión prepares to depart for the mainland for her stint on RuPaul’s smash reality show.

Today is Earth Day and I thought what better way to mark it than by looking at it – from above. But first, an alarming new statistic which will go unnoticed again, no doubt. As of April 20, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was 401.17 ppm. It has not been that high in MILLIONS of years according to climatologists:
“It’s the planetary equivalent of going to the doctor and hearing your cholesterol is through the roof,” said Bill McKibben, an author and co-founder of the group 350.org, “and our ‘leaders’ are like the patients who nonetheless won’t take their medicine, won’t stop smoking, won’t start exercising, and won’t change what they eat.”
On a lighter note, Yann Arthus-Bertrand is a well-known photographer and author of the hugely successful book Earth From Above, which was a ten year project. His book has been printed in 21 languages and has sold several million copies. Take a look at and go here to buy the book. You won’t be sorry. It’s one of those you can look at again and again. Oh and another statistic, there are 7,225,000,000+ of us on this blue marble at the moment.
