Muhammad Ali Dead At 74: The Original G.O.A.T. [VIDEO]

muhammad ali dead

Muhammad Ali is dead at the age of 74 — passing away in a Phoenix-area hospital as the world mourns the legendary boxer known as “The Greatest.” Born as Cassius Clay, Jr. on January 17, 1942, Ali went from being a polarizing figure to one of America’s most beloved icons. [photo: Barry Jarvinan/Getty]

In addition to being one of the best technical boxers of all time, Ali shook up the sport by serving as his own spokesman. That was after decades where boxers had routinely left the talking to flashy managers. Ali was flashy enough on his own — and baffled the country while emerging as a defiant African-American talent in the civil-rights era.



Ali was only 22 when he won the world heavyweight championship in 1964 from Sonny Liston in a stunning upset. The public was just getting used to flamboyant champion Cassius Clay when he abruptly joined the Nation of Islam and became a very different type of household name.

He would enjoy two long stints as heavyweight champion, and also took over the world of entertainment — although not always by scoring a knockout. Ali spent the ’70s goofing around on variety shows, and even attempted to work as a serious actor. Sadly, his charisma was wasted on some pretty painful projects.

Sadly, a battle with Parkinson’s brought an early end to his public life. Ali began to appear more frail in recent years, and was frequently hospitalized. This is how people are remembering him today — and for a very long time to come…


Muhammad Ali Dead — Floyd Mayweather Makes Predictable Tribute

Muhammad Ali has passed away at the age of 74, and boxers the world over went to the internet to pay tribute — from Evander Holyfield to Lennox Lewis to Oscar de la Hoya. But only one boxer immediately thought of one very specific  image of Muhammad Ali as a sports icon. That would be Floyd Mayweather, who rushed to Instagram to salute Ali making a lot of money.



Well, at least it was something different. Floyd wrote, among other things: “You are someone that inspired me greatly throughout my boxing journey, and words cannot express how great you were as a person!” The whole thing really does feel kind of heartfelt — except for Floyd’s salute to Ali as a guy who posed with massive stacks of cash. But, yes, we suppose Ali was a pioneer there, too…

French Open Results 2016

Garbiñe Muguruza pulled off an impressive upset of top-ranked defending champion Serena Williams in straight sets to win the French Open. Muguruza proved herself to be one of the rare women who can overpower Serena from the base line en route to the 7-5; 6-4 victory. It is the 22 year-old Venezuelan-born Spaniard’s first Grand Slam championship. Her previous best in a Grand Slam was finishing runner-up to Williams in last year’s Wimbledon. Muguruza was untouchable throughout the tournament; after losing the first set of her first match she won 14 straight sets. Williams was attempting to win her 22nd Grand Slam singles tournament which would tie Steffi Graf for the most ever. She’ll get her next shot at #22 at Wimbledon, which begins on June 27th.

Muhammad Ali — Family Breaks Silence On Death With Twitter Tributes

muhammad ali dead family tributes

Muhammad Ali is dead at 74 years old from respiratory problems in the wake of Parkinson’s disease. The boxing legend’s family took a deserved break after their short deathbed vigil at an Arizona hospital in the Phoenix area. Now, however, some family members have began making their short statements via social media…

Biaggio Walsh is the  son of Ali’s daughter Rasheda, and the champ’s grandson has been enjoying a strong senior year as a football prospect — with Rasheda saying that he’s been offered several scholarships. He’s also turned his Twitter page into a tribute to his grandfather…


Nico Ali Walsh is Rasheda’s other son — and his Twitter account has mostly been about his own boxing career. It’s going pretty well. Sadly, the Twittering became a memorial very early this morning…


Ali’s boxing daughter Laila is actually taking some flack in her Twitter comments right now, since the top posting on her account currently features a plug for frozen vegetables. That’s not nearly as tacky as giving a grieving daughter a hard time for not rushing to maintain her social media. Rasheda, however, showed some class while still being the first in the family to make a post…


And while Ali has received tributes from plenty of other stars — from Pelé to Paul McCartney to the POTUS — one celeb was probably close enough to also count as family. That would be Michael J. Fox, who joined the boxing legend as one of the public faces of Parkinson’s. In that sense, Fox’s tribute is probably more personal than we can imagine…

ufc 199 live stream

UFC 199: Rockhold vs. Bisping 2 is tonight’s UFC Pay-Per-View event that is taking place at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The main event was originally scheduled to be a rematch of the UFC 194 fight between Luke Rockhold and Chris Weidman, however Weidman was forced to pull out on May 17 due to a large extrusion herniation on his neck. This will be the fifth time that UFC has hosted an event in Los Angeles County. Previous UFC events in the area were held at the Staples Center.

UFC 199 was expected to be headlined by a UFC Middleweight Championship rematch between champion Luke Rockhold and former champion Chris Weidman, who previously met at UFC 194, when Rockhold won Weidman’s title via fourth round TKO. However, Weidman pulled out on May 17 due to a large extrusion herniation on his neck. The first replacement choice was former Strikeforce Middleweight Champion Ronaldo Souza, who lost his title to Rockhold in 2011, but he injured his meniscus in a win at UFC 198 against former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor Belfort. He was replaced by The Ultimate Fighter 3 winner Michael Bisping.

The co-main event is a match the third fight between two-time UFC Bantamweight Championship Dominick Cruz and former WEC Featherweight Champion Urijah Faber. The second fight took place on UFC 132 in 2011, when Cruz defended his title for the first time via unanimous decision.

Serena Williams Net Worth 2016: How Much is Serena Worth Right Now?

2015 U.S. Open - Day 12

Serena Williams is the most dominant female athlete of all time. Sure, she failed to match Steffi Graf’s record 22 Grand Slam victories when she lost in the French Open Final this morning, but it’s only a matter of time until she conquers that mark.

Serena has converted her nearly two decades of preeminence into a well-deserved fortune. Coming straight outta Compton, Serena has  transcended the sport of tennis to become a true global icon. And with a record amount of winnings on the court and lucrative endorsements off it, she could retire now to go relax on a beach somewhere and be set for life. But don’t expect that to happen anytime soon; she’s still kicking ass and taking names. So let’s examine how much she’s really worth.

 

Serena Williams’s Net Worth as of 2016: $145 million

Serena famously began playing tennis at age three alongside her older sister Venus in the notoriously rough city of Compton, California. The two girls were taught by their father, Richard Williams, who had never played tennis before but who drove the girls to realize their prodigal potential. In addition to her 21 singles Grand Slam championships, she has won 13 doubles Grand Slams with Venus, and two mixed doubles Grand Slams. Serena was the 47th highest earning athlete in the world in 2015, and second highest earning woman athlete after rival Maria Sharapova. Williams raked in $24.6 million in 2015, including $13 million from her endorsement deals with companies like Nike, Kraft, Gatorade and Beats by Dre.


1995-1999

Serena Williams

Serena made her professional debut in 1995 at the age of 14. Throughout her childhood her father pushed the Williams sisters with the goal of them one day being among the best in the world. Growing up, she was to a degree in big sister Venus’s shadow; Venus made the final of the first Grand Slam tournament she entered in 1997, at the age of 17. However it was Serena who broke through to win a major singles title first when she captured the 1999 US Open at just 18 years old. Serena’s dazzling power game made it clear to all onlookers that her potential was limitless.

 


1999-2003

Serena Williams of the USA

After her US Open triumph, Serena continued to exemplify her otherworldly talent and steadily climbed up the female rankings. In 2002 into 2003, Serena eclipsed her older sister and established herself as the game’s top dog when she annihilated all comers en route to four successive Grand Slam titles, dubbed the “Serena Slam”. Since then nobody’s been able to knock her off the throne, only impeded at times by injuries, and this consistent success has led to her 8-figure yearly earnings ever since.

2003 also was the year of personal tragedy for Serena and Venus when their half-sister Yetunde Price was accidentally killed during a drive-by shooting by gang members in Compton.


2004-2008

Sony Ericsson Championships - Doha 2009 - Day Two

As a result of a combination of a loss of focus and a series of troubling injuries, the next few years were the most challenging of Serena’s career. From 2004-2008 she won only 3 grand slams.  Yet despite this relative down period, Serena still did alright for her bank account when in 2004 she signed a $40 million dollar endorsement deal with Nike after her contract with Puma expired. She also started to become involved in fashion design during this period.


2009-2016

The Championships - Wimbledon 2012: Day Twelve

After getting healthy, Serena climbed back to the top and hasn’t loosened her stranglehold on the women’s game at all. She and Venus, who live together in Florida, bought a minority share of the Miami Dolphins in 2009.  Since 2009 she has won 9 more Grand Slam titles, and continues to be one of the most famous women in the world. She has won more than twice as much prize money as any other women’s tennis player in history. Despite those gaudy numbers, she actually makes the majority of her earnings from endorsements, according to Forbes. Tennis is a sport notorious for short careers, so to see Serena continue to be at her best in her mid-30’s is a tribute to her greatness. And that is how she came to be worth a cool $145 million. Not bad for a kid from Compton… or from anywhere else.

Muhammad Ali passed away on June 3, 2016 at the age of 74 — and the timing was tough on the media. The internet and television were able to quickly get out the word. Print publications had to keep a close eye on developments, though, with the official word getting out shortly after midnight for the East Coast media. [photo: Getty: Ilya S. Savenok/Hulton]

Meanwhile, Paul Simon was in the middle of his show at The Greek Theater in Berkeley, California. We’re not sure when “The Boxer” usually shows up in the Paul Simon set list. Chances are that Paul moved things around as soon as he got the news about  Ali, though. He wouldn’t be the type who’d sit on important information just to wait for the right moment.

But here’s the moment when Paul did, in fact, inform his audience that the beloved boxing champion had passed away. He kind of bungled the moment, too. As you’ll see in the video, the audience just assumes the song is over — and then there’s some awkwardness before the nice collective moment of sadness as Paul breaks the news.



Good for the Berkeley audience. That means they weren’t all checking their phone during the concert. It’s a nice weird moment amongst last night’s big collective sigh. And, yes, we know that nobody has the right to really judge how Paul Simon handles a live show after several decades of success. Mocking the guy is dangerous. We once talked to an old folkie who told us that “The Sound of Silence” was viciously ridiculed back when Simon & Garfunkel debuted the song onstage. We’re not making fun of any millionaires here…

UFC 199 Full Results: Huge Upset In Main Event

UFC 199 took place in The Forum in Los Angeles on Saturday night and featured a pair of championship bouts. In the main events Michael Bisping challenged Middleweight champ Luke Rockhold.  Just prior to that Cruiserweight Champion Dominick Cruz and longtime foe Dominick Cruz went at each other. While fight fans may have one eye toward UFC 200 including the just-announced returning Brock Lesnar, those who caught 199 were treated to a thrilling night of fights that was punctuated by a memorable upset.

Middleweight Championship: (Champion) Luke Rockhold vs. Michael Bisping

Michael Bisping wasn’t even originally slated to have a shot at the Middleweight Championship, but boy did he make the most of the chance. The veteran 37-year-old, who was a late replacement for Chris Weidman, ended up pulling of a stunning upset of Luke Rockhold to claim the title. Bisping knocked out Rockhold in the first round after a devastating left hook and a powerful right gave the Brit the opening he needed to swoop in for the knockout.

In their previous encounter in 2012, Rockhold choked out Bisping in the second round, and the defending champion was a heavy favorite in this one. After the fight Rockhold admitted to taking his opponent too lightly: “I didn’t see it happening,” he said. “I took it for granted. I could have capitalized and fought my fight, rather than play around with him.”

 

185 lbs.: Michael Bisping def. Luke Rockhold by KO (punches) at 3:36 of Round One


Bantamweight Championship: (Champion) Dominick Cruz vs. Urijah Faber

INGLEWOOD, CA - JUNE 04: Referee Herb Dean raises the arms of Dominick Cruz (red gloves) after he defeated Urijah Faber (blue gloves) in their bantamweight championship bout at UFC 199 at The Forum on June 4, 2016 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images)

There was no love lost between Bantamweight Champion Dominick Cruz and challenger Urijah Farber in the co-main event fight for the Bantamweight Championship. Faber handed Cruz the only loss of his career in 2007 and then Cruz avenged his loss in 2011, making this the much anticipated rubber match for the two Californians. In Faber’s fourth attempt to finally win the Bantamweight belt he again came up short, as Cruz was firmly in control of this fight that went the distance.

 

135 lbs.: Dominick Cruz def. Urijah Faber by unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 49-46)


The Rest of the Card:


145 lbs.: Max Holloway def.  Ricardo Lamas by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
185 lbs.: Dan Henderson def. Hector Lombard by KO (head kick and elbow) at 1:27 of Round Two

The Spike TV’s 10th Annual Guys Choice Awards were held in Culver City, California — which seemed to be trying to double as Vegas, but it was probably easier to get men like Robert De Niro, Clint Eastwood, and guests of honor Ben Affleck and Matt Damon out to a Hollywood suburb. We’re pretty sure that Gigi Hadid would’ve headed out to Vegas, but she was still happy to glam up the red carpet of Culver City. [photo: Mike Windle/Getty]



So were impressive gals like Olivia Munn, Amber Miller, Victoria’s Secret’s own Chanel Iman and some showgirls that might even have been imported from Nevada. Spike TV also covered their bets by inviting the San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus after their recent big brouhaha, plus being sure that the men (and women) of the military were represented. That allowed the event to take place without any major SJW picketing, which is always nice. We’re trying to cut back on that, and it also made some of the gals more comfortable…

Jack Black isn’t dead — and, really, there wasn’t even much anxiety about that after Tenacious D had its Twitter account hacked early this morning. Well, we suppose it could’ve been traumatic for any of Jack Black’s close relatives who followed Tenacious D. But then everyone quickly decided it wasn’t real. We’re not sure why.  We’d put Jack Black at the top of a Dead Pool. Still, the post was quickly dismissed as a hoax, and the hacker conceded defeat with a fairly funny gag…

It took a while, but Tenacious D finally regained control of their account and posted the official denial below, and now everything’s back to normal. Not that anyone panicked to begin with, right? The whole thing was just kind of weird. We don’t know how we’d be feeling if we were Jack Black right now — but we’d probably just be counting our money for that Goosebumps sequel…

Novak Djokovic Net Worth 2016: How Much is Djokovic Worth Right Now?

$
0
0

Novak Djokovic is an absolute maestro on the tennis court. His triumph at the French Open gives Djokovic a career grand slam, cementing his place in the sport’s pantheon. The 29-year-old Serb has had a stranglehold on the #1 ranking for the past two years, and has held it for the majority of the past five. He has so far amassed 12 Grand Slam singles championships.

Djokovic began playing tennis at the age of four, and was pushed hard from an early age by his father to achieve greatness. At age 6 Novak was discovered by the famed coach Jelena Genčić, who likewise taught Monica Seles, and became one of the best junior players in Europe. With a record amount of prize money earned plus tens of millions yearly in endorsements the Djoker can laugh all the way to the bank. But how much is he really worth?

Novak Djokovic’s Net Worth as of 2016: $140 million

Novak speaks five languages (Serbian, English, German, Italian, and French) and he definitely knows how to say “cash money” in all of them. His booming net worth  is estimated at a crisp $140 million. The humorous Djokovic became at Roland Garros the first ever player to surpass $100 million in career prize money, and has shown no signs of slowing down. His $48 million in earnings in 2015 made him the 13th highest-paid athlete, and second highest-paid tennis player after Roger Federer. Of that, $31 million came from endorsements including making upwards of $7 million for his role as apparel company Uniqlo’s global ambassador. Let’s take a look at Djokovic through the years.


2003-2007

Djokovic turned professional in 2003 at the age of 17. He played mostly low-level tournaments at first, and made his tour-level debut in 2004. In 2005, he entered his first grand slam tournament when he qualified for the Australian Open. 2006 marked the year of his first two ATP tournament victories. In 2007 he vaulted himself into the top 10 in the world rankings, reaching the final of the US Open. While few would have pegged Djokovic to be among the best ever when he turned pro, by 2007 it became evident that he would be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years.

In 2005 Djokovic and his family founded an investments LLC in Serbia called Family Sport. The company invests in restaurants, sports/entertainment, tennis facilities, real estate and apparel distribution. It also manages the charitable Novak Djokovic Foundation.


2008-2010

(Photo by Clive Brunskill/Getty Images)

 

In 2008 Djokovic broke through to become the first Serbian player to win a Grand Slam singles tournament when he won the first of his record six Australian Opens. In 2009, he continued his ascent and joined fellow up-start Andy Murray and established stars Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal to begin the Big 4 Era, in which the foursome have had a hegemony over men’s tennis.  In 2010 Djokovic led Serbia to the nation’s sole Davis Cup title.


2011-2016

In 2011, Djokovic won three more Grand Slam tournaments to rise to number one in the world. He added Australian Open trophies to his trophy case in 2012 and 2013 then won his second Wimbledon in 2014. In 2015, he continued to roll, adding three more Grand Slam titles. But until this year, the French Open evaded Djokovic as he lost in the 2012, 2014 and 2015 finals. With his triumph in this year’s French Open, and with winning records against all his top contemporaries, Djokovic is firmly in the conversation for best ever.

Djokovic’s incredible success and amiable personality have led to endorsement deals with an assortment of companies, most based in Europe. His sponsors include Mercedes-Benz, Swiss watch manufacturer Audemars Piguet, German nutritional supplement brand FitLine, and numerous Serbian companies. With $140 million in his ever-growing bank account, Djokovic is as untouchable off the court as he is on it.

 

 

Game Of Thrones Season 6, Episode 7: Date, Time, & TV Channel for “The Broken Man”

game of thrones date time tv channel

Game Of Thrones season 6 episode 7, “The Broken Man”, will be airing Sunday, June 5 2016, at 9 PM EST. We’re heading into the final month of this season of Game Of Thrones, which means chaos is around the corner. Episode 6, “Blood Of My Blood”, was a heavy plot-laying episode. However, that sets up this week’s episode, “The Broken Man”, to be a heavy hitter. Jaime Lannister, Jon Snow, Brienne of Tarth, Tormund Giantsbane, and Sansa Stark are all on their way to Riverrun, so this week has the potential to bring together characters that haven’t shared a scene together since season 1. Also, the episode title “The Broken Man” could possibly be a reference to a character that we haven’t seen since season 4.

First, the synopsis:

“The High Sparrow eyes another target. Jaime confronts a hero. Arya makes a plan. The North is reminded.”

Now, the preview:

My thoughts:

-We got screwed last week with the big face off between The High Sparrow and Jaime Lannister. We were all hoping The High Sparrow would meet his bloody end this week, however he ended up outsmarting the Lannister’s, AGAIN. He did so by forming a alliance with Tommen, the softest man this side of The Narrow Sea. As for who his new target is, I couldn’t imagine it being anyone other than Cersei, due to the fact that her trial by combat is approaching.

-Jaime confronting a hero is most likely means The Blackfish, Catelyn Stark’s uncle.

-Arya makes a plan could mean a couple things, but I’m hoping it involves her making her way back to King’s Landing and back into the main storyline.

-The North being reminded, whatever it is, will have to do with the impending Battle Of The Bastards. I’m willing to bet this is a reference so Sansa Stark traveling the North reminding them they have a loyalty to the Stark name.

-“The Broken Man” could potentially, probably, HOPEFULLY, be a reference to the return of  Sandor Clegane, The Hound. Cersei has already stated her desire to have her trial be a trial be combat, given the fact that her champion would be The Mountain. There are literally only a couple of people in the realm who both would want to, and could, beat the Mountain: and that is his younger brother, The Hound.

-And most importantly … BRONN IS BACK!

Novak Djokovic is one of the greatest players in the history of tennis but until today a French Open title had remained the one void on his otherwise stellar resume. Yet after defeating longtime rival Andy Murray in four sets, the elusive French Open trophy is finally Djokovic’s. Djokovic appeared tight in the first set and it seemed the Serb might have to settle for runner-up for for the fourth time at Roland Garros. But after the first set, the top-seeded Djokovic seized control with a masterful 6-1 second set and he never looked back. The victory is Djokovic’s fourth straight Grand Slam championship, and his 12th major overall.

(1) Novak Djokovic defeated (2) Andy Murray: 3-6; 6-1; 6-2; 6-4

Game Of Thrones season 6 episode 7, “The Broken Man”, will be airing Sunday, June 5 2016, at 9 PM EST. We’re heading into the final month of this season of Game Of Thrones, which means chaos is around the corner. Episode 6, “Blood Of My Blood”, was a major plot-laying episode. However, that sets up this week’s episode, “The Broken Man”, to be a heavy hitter. Jaime Lannister, Jon Snow, Brienne of Tarth, Tormund Giantsbane, and Sansa Stark are all on their way to Riverrun, so this week has the potential to bring together characters that haven’t shared a scene together since season 1. Not to mention the situation in King’s Landing, and the new hit out on Arya’s had, and you have the ingredients for one hell of an episode. Also, the title for episode 7 is “The Broken Man”, which could possibly be a reference to a character that we haven’t seen since season 4.

First, the synopsis:

“The High Sparrow eyes another target. Jaime confronts a hero. Arya makes a plan. The North is reminded.”

Now, the preview:

My thoughts:

-We got ROBBED last week in King’s Landing. Everyone was hoping The High Sparrow would meet his bloody end this week, however he ended up outsmarting the Lannister’s again by forming a alliance with Tommen. As for his new target is, I couldn’t imagine it being anyone other than Cersei, due to the fact that her trial by combat is approaching.

-Jaime confronting a hero is most likely means The Blackfish, Catelyn Stark’s uncle.

-Arya makes a plan could mean a couple things, but I’m hoping it involves her killing the crap out of The Waif and making her way back to King’s Landing to kill the crap out of Cersei.

-The North being reminded, whatever it is, will have to do with the impending Battle Of The Bastards. I’m willing to bet this is a reference so Sansa Stark traveling the North reminding them they have a loyalty to the Stark name.

-The episode title, “The Broken Man”, could potentially, HOPEFULLY, be a reference to the return of  Sandor Clegane, The Hound. Cersei has already stated her desire to have her trial be a trial be combat, given the fact that her champion would be The Mountain. There are literally only a couple of people in the realm who both would want to, and could, beat the Mountain: and that is his younger brother, The Hound.

-And most importantly … BRONN IS BACK! Finally!

Sean Lennon Works On Issues With Michael Jackson In Creepy ‘Bubbles’ Video

sean lennon michael jackson bubbles

Michael Jackson received one weird tribute this week — and his estate might be happy that Sean Lennon & Les Claypool had the video for “Bubbles” swamped by new info on the death of Prince, plus the passing of Muhammad Ali. As it is, a lot of people are already wondering what the hell Sean is trying to say about his old pal who brought him in to be in the Moonwalker long-form video.

The song is from the new act The Claypool Lennon Delirium. It’s a pretty neat tune. The video, however, features a creepy Michael Jackson figure who eventually turns into the star himself towards the technicolor end. We’re no psychiatrists, but we wouldn’t argue with anyone suggesting that Sean is using Bubbles (briefly famous as Jacko’s beloved chimp) to represent children who Michael is accused of having molested.

Again, we’re not sure. Sean probably thought he’d be asked to comment by now, but the news cycle didn’t really cooperate. That means we have the weekend to catch up with this weirdness, though. Further opinions are welcome…

Miss USA 2016: Hottest Swimsuit [PHOTOS]

The 2016 Miss USA competition is happening on Sunday, June 5, 2016, at 7 p.m. ET —broadcast live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where beautiful women are still allowed to dress up as showgirls and hang around poolside in bikinis. We have seen this for ourselves, and that was research money well spent.

In that same spirit, The Miss USA pageant still has a swimsuit competition where the beauties are showing off in bikinis. This year’s broadcast even adds a 52nd contestant , with a wild-card (and kind of reality-television) gal selected from the 51 runner-ups from the state title-holder competitions. The 51st contestant is always Miss District of Columbia, but we forget that every year.



You don’t have to worry about Miss USA being too politically incorrect, though. Tonight’s broadcast also features teh first time since 2002 that the Miss USA franchise isn’t owned by Donald Trump. That means less rioting — or a lessened chance of rioting, assuming those types keep up with Miss USA as much as we do.

And let’s not forget that we’re also saying goodbye to 26-year-old Olivia Jordan. She’s handing over the crown tonight, after becoming the first Miss Oklahoma to ever win the competition. Follow that link to look back with great fondness — but first, check out the hottest photos from the Miss USA 2016 preliminary swimsuit competition…

Ania Bukstein: Hottest Photos Of The New Red Priestess From Game Of Thrones

Ania Bukstein is one lucky woman. She has never really had a major role in her career, however she landed the role of a lifetime on the biggest show to ever exist: Game Of Thrones. Ania made her debut on Game Of Thrones as Red Priestess of Volantis during season 6. And if the original Red Priestess, Melisandre, is any indication, we will be seeing … errr… a lot more of her.

Ania Bukstein is an Israeli actress, but also a singer, voice actress and model. I mean, obviousky, just look her. Ania’s family is from Moscow, where she was born. Her mother is a speech-language pathologist and her father is anoncologist. So not only she absolutely gorgeous, but she probably got the brains on her too. After being born in Russia, her family immigrated to Israel when she was just eight years old. As a teenager, she attended Telma Yalin Arts High School inGivatayim, Israel. After her high school graduation, as all Israeli citizens do, even the impossibly beautiful ones, she served in the Israeli military, specifically the Air Force.

Ania made her film debut at the age of 12 as the main character in the 1994 film Eretz Hadasha (A New Country), and then continue a career of small parts in foreign films. Hopefully she hits it big with Game Of Thrones, and we see way more of her.

Game Of Thrones Season 6 Episode 7 Recap for “The Broken Man”

For all the idiots in the room, this is a RECAP so obviously SPOILERS ARE AHEAD. Now, let’s get to it:

(Editors Note: This is a college website, so this review was written as I sat in a room with my 5 other buddies. The reactions, opinions, and knowledge – or lack thereof – are both very collective, and very genuine. The quotes are live reactions- word for word.)


Where ever the f*ck the Hound is: The Hound is back.

“God I hope we get ton hear him say “F*ck the King!”

Ian McShane finally pops up as the leader of some sort of group? Tells The Hound he survived for a “reason”.


King’s Landing: A meeting between Margery and The High Sparrow. Margery says she “pretended” to love the poor, when she actually hated them. The High Sparrow threatens Margery’s grandmother, Lady Olenna, because of her sins.

Margery acts all shady towards her grandmother, but then slips her a note of a picture of a rose AKA to GTFO out of King’s Landing.


Where ever the f*ck Jon Snow’s Wildling army is: Jon Snow begs the Wildlings to fight for him. Tormund steps up and backs his boys because him and Jon are BFF. Jon gets a classic forearm grip handshake, which was dope.


King’s Landing: Lady Olenna and Cersei have a discussion, and Olenna rips Cersei a fresh, gapping new one. Cersei begs for the Tyrell’s help, but Olenna is like “Yo, I’m getting the hell outta her girl.”

“That’s the first time we’ve seen Cersei get f*cked by someone other than her brother.”


Riverrun: YES. Bronn and The Hound are both back. Bronn’s first line is something about “tw*ts learning to dig moats”, and his “c*ck being bigger than any unsullied.”  He’s the best.

Walder Fray’s sons threaten the Blackfish to yield the castle by threatening to hang Edmure Tully. The Blackfish tells them literally “Go on. Cut his throat.” It was pretty boss. They bitch out and don’t do it.

Jaime and Bronn son the clown Fray’s and take over the siege.


Bear Island: Jon Snow and Sansa Stark show up to recruit some help. Lady Moermont is a little girl. This little girl does not take any crap, and gets right down to business. She essentially tells Sansa and Jon to screw.

Ser Davos does what he does, and starts dropping knowledge left and right. He convinces Lady Moermont to join them, however they literally only have 62 men to contribute and it’s painfully pathetic.


Riverrun: Jaime approaches the Csstle to negotiate, and gets subsequently destroyed by the Blackfish, who essentially tells Jaime to attack or go away.


House Glover (???): I don’t know who or where they are either. Sansa and Jon ask for their help, and they get epically shut down. Lord Glover goes on a rant about how House Stark is dead.


Where ever the f*ck Theon and Yara Are: Yara hazes Theon by making him drink and then tells him if he doesn’t grow up he should just kill himself. The motivation speech seems to work though.


Where ever the f*ck Jon and Sansa Are: Somewhere in the North, but they aren’t to specific about where.  Sansa is starting to get worried about the state of their so called army, but Jon reassures her that Davos knows what he’s doing.


Where ever the f*ck the Hound is: Whoever Ian McShane is playing is giving a speech about… something? He cuts a boys throat. Some guys show up trying to raid this gang’s stuff, but Ian McShane’s character convinces them otherwidse.


Braavos: Arya buys a ride back to Westoros in the most gangsta way imagineable. All is well and everyone’s happy until that stupid b*tch The Waif shows up wearing an old lady face and stabs the crap out of Arya.

What the f*ck wasn’t sketchy about that Arya?! That old woman had ‘I’m a faceless murderer written all over her face’

Arya is able to fend off the attack, and escape but jumping into a river. She’s alive, but seriously injured.


Where ever the f*ck the Hound is:  He’s chopping his wood when he hears a scream. His whole squad was murdered and his boy Ian McShane hung from the wooden fixture they were building. The Hound is now wielding an axe, and holy sh*t what an episode.


For a “setup” episode, that was awesome. Next week, it looks like were finally going to see Zombie Mountain kick some ass, Jaime progress his siege on Riverrun, as well as a reunion between Jaime and Brienne.
