The previews of upcoming Game of Thrones episodes are notoriously tricky. Between HBO’s misdirection and efforts not to spoil anything, it’s hard to get much real information out of them. But HBO has released a few new images for Game of Thrones season 8’s second episode, and it seems like they might give us a more accurate preview of what’s on the horizon.
Just like in the teaser, most of these images are set in and around Winterfell — which makes a lot of sense, considering that’s where almost every character is at the moment. Just as the preview hinted, it would appear that we’re going to see an impromptu trial for Jaime Lannister, with a few very tense northerners around him.

Alongside the battle planning that the episode preview hints at, these pictures show us that we’re probably going to get quite a few important conversations on the eve of battle.
We have Arya meeting with Jon — possibly going over plans for the fight.

Perhaps most importantly, these images reveal that Bran finally makes it out of the courtyard so he no longer has to stare at everyone working in Winterfell.
I decided to go to Coachella for the first time this year.
While I loved the musical performances and felt that the event was well-organized, I probably won't be attending again as it is too much hassle to arrange all the logistics — and too much money to attend the festival.
Living in New York, I never thought it made much sense to ship out to Indio, California, for one of Coachella's two weekends of music and fun.
That's without getting into what Coachella is supposedly about, which, according to varying reports, is both a glittering entertainment-industry party and a bunch of Orange County teenagers skipping school to drink. The weekend has become such an event for social media influencers, models, and celebrities that some have dubbed it the "influencer Olympics."
When Business Insider asked me to coverthe festival, I was determined to go in with as little preconceived notions as possible. And, with this year's Coachella lineup featuring Childish Gambino, Anderson .Paak, Janelle Monae, and Tame Impala, some of my favorite artists, it was hard to not get amped up.
By the end of the weekend, I had seen some incredible performances, discovered amazing new artists, found my way into an ultra-exclusive afterparty, danced the night away at a hidden stage, and was convinced I probably wouldn't ever come back.
An all-star animated environmental music video featuring the voices of Justin Bieber, Ed Sheeran and Ariana Grande has gone viral on social media.
The song Earth, by comedian and rapper Lil Dicky, also has cameos from Katy Perry, Snoop Dogg and Miley Cyrus.
Speaking to Time, Dicky - aka David Burd - said: "What started as a silly joke of an idea along the way became the most important thing I'll ever do."
A share of proceeds will go to the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.
DiCaprio, who campaigns on environmental issues, also makes an animated appearance towards the end of the seven-minute long video.
In Earth has had more than 2.5 million views on YouTube since going live early on Friday.
Burd and his celebrity friends including Halsey, Snoop Dogg and Rita Ora urge people to fight against climate change.
Hey, I'm a zebra / No one knows what I do, but I look pretty cool / Am I white or black? sings Ariana while Ed Sheeran, voicing an animated marsupial, adds: I'm a koala and I sleep all the time / So what? It's cute / How did you wrangle all of these superstars to be on the song?
"It was me, my manager Scooter Braun [who also represents Bieber and Grande] and Benny Blanco, who is a true producer in every sense of the world," said Burd. "We're all such competitive people that we all kept tabs on who got who.
"We all had our own relationships, and together, in a three-pronged attack, we got 30 artists.
Burd admits he did have an issue trying to land one famous voice, belonging to mercurial rapper and producer Kanye West.
"I'm friendly with Kanye - I used to play basketball with him," he said.
"But I left myself like three days to get Kanye on the phone and couldn't get in touch with him. He was pretty unreachable; he changed his email and his cell phone.
"So I reached out to Kevin Hart and asked, "Would you play Kanye?" and he said 'yes'."
Divorce is never easy. Throw in children, intermingled business relationships, and high personal net worth, and it gets exponentially harder. Add on infidelity and there is the potential for a very messy divorce.
Williams is focused on moving forward and creating the best life possible for her and her son, but her pending divorce puts a lot at stake.
Williams and Hunter did not have a prenup
At the time of their marriage in 1997, Williams was just eight years into her radio hosting position. She was still over a decade away from The Wendy Williams Show. Despite this, Williams revealed to VladTV in 2013 that at the time she discovered that Hunter was cheating on her the first time (when her son was just one month old) she had already created great personal wealth for herself.
She had money and vacation homes, enough to be able to support herself.
When asked by Howard Stern in 2013 whether she had a prenup, Williams told him no. She even acknowledged her husband’s previous cheating during the discussion and confirmed that she would split everything 50-50. But Hunter had a different take. He told Stern, “I might give her everything, start fresh.”
Williams and Hunter have one child together, Kevin Hunter Jr. Hunter was born three years after the couple was married in 2000. Since their child is over the age of 18, child support and custody will not be an issue that the couple has to worry about.
Their businesses interests overlapped significantly
It may be Williams’ name on the wall, but Hunter has been involved in every facet of the show from the very beginning. Hunter was named executive producer for The Wendy Williams Show in 2011. In 2013, the two formed the production company, Wendy Williams Productions, the production company that runs The Wendy Williams Show.
Hunter has also been Williams’ manager for several years. The business relationship between the two has become so intertwined that it will be difficult to separate. Experts say that the couple may have to sell the production company and assets and split the proceeds.
Show staff say the end is near or already here for Hunter
Hunter has continued to work at The Wendy Williams Show since it was revealed that the couple was getting divorced, despite rumors that he is controlling and that his presence is toxic to the show.
But according to sources closes to the show, it is only a matter of time until Hunter is shown the exit.
A source told Us Weekly, “…staffers have expressed concern about their safety and Wendy’s safety and do not want to work with him,” adding, “employment at the show no longer makes sense.”
The Wendy Williams Show executive producer recently released a statement, saying in part:
“No matter what the outcome is or what the future holds, we are still The Hunter Family and I will continue to work with and fully support my wife in this business and through any and all obstacles she may face living her new life of sobriety, while I also work on mine.”
Should he wish to stay at the show, as his statement seems to imply, it is uncertain whether he could be forcibly removed.
Williams filed for a no-fault divorce
Williams and Hunter currently live in New Jersey. Unlike many states, New Jersey is a fault state, meaning fault can be assigned during a divorce. This means that if the court finds evidence that one partner was the cause of the divorce, they could grant a judgment that is more favorable to the wronged party.
Surprisingly, Williams has reportedly filed for a no-fault divorce. This means that Hunter’s alleged affair and child will have no bearing on the case, should it go to trial. Williams’ decision to file for a no-fault divorce could mean that the talk show host hopes to settle the divorce out of court, or she may wish to handle the divorce as amicably as possible and does not want to throw mud.
There is also the issue of alimony. Since Williams is the higher earner, she could be ordered to pay alimony to Hunter. Her decision to file for a no-fault divorce could be an olive branch to prevent Hunter from asking for alimony.
