Meryl Streep's daughter is calling it quits with her husband of almost two years.

Mamie Gummer and Benjamin Walker have split, her rep tells Us Weekly, adding, "It's very amicable."

The "Emily Owens, M.D." star, 29, met fellow actor Walker, 30, in 2008 while performing in the Broadway production of "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" together. They announced their engagement in Oct. 2009 and officially tied the knot at the Gummer's Connecticut estate in July 2011, in front of fellow stars like Claire Danes and Laura Linney.

A source close to Gummer, who is the daughter of Streep and her longtime husband, sculptor Don Gummer, says the break up is "very new."

Arrest Warrant Issued For 'Egypt's Jon Stewart'

$

CAIRO — Egypt's state prosecutors ordered the arrest Saturday of a popular television satirist for allegedly insulting Islam and the country's leader, in a move that government opponents say is aimed at silencing critics of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

The arrest warrant for against Bassem Youssef, who has come to be known as Egypt's Jon Stewart, followed an order earlier this week by the country's top prosecutor to arrest five prominent pro-democracy activists in what the opposition has characterized as a widening campaign against dissent.

The acceleration in legal action targeting protesters, activists and critics comes against a backdrop of continued unrest in the country. Political compromise between the well-organized Islamists in power and their vocal liberal and largely secular critics remains elusive, while the country's economy is in near free fall, which has increasingly fueled popular frustration.

The opposition charges that Morsi, in office for nine months, and the Brotherhood have failed to tackle any of the nation's most pressing problems and are trying to monopolize power, breaking their promises of inclusiveness. Morsi blames the country's woes on nearly three decades of corruption under his predecessor, Hosni Mubarak, and accuses the opposition of stoking unrest for political gain.

The warrant against Youssef is the latest in a series of legal actions against the comedian, whose widely-watched weekly show, "ElBernameg" or "The Program," has become a platform for lampooning the government, opposition, media and clerics. He has also used his program to fact-check politicians.

The fast-paced show has attracted a wide viewership, while at the same time earning itself its fair share of detractors. Youssef has been a frequent target of lawsuits, most of them brought by Islamist lawyers who have accused him of "corrupting morals" or violating "religious principles."

Prosecutor Mohammed el-Sayed Khalifa told Al-Ahram online that he has heard 28 plaintiffs accusing Youssef of insulting Islam, mocking prayers, and "belittling" Morsi in the eyes of the world and his own people.

In one episode of the show, Youssef mocks former militants who are now part of the mainstream political scene in Egypt. At a recent rally, some former radicals who were imprisoned for taking part in the assassination of late President Anwar Sadat in 1981, accused the opposition of using violence at anti-Morsi protests.

In the program, Youssef ridicules an Islamist who said the militants had repented by fasting for three months for mistakenly killing others with Sadat.

"What a message," Youssef says. "Anyone can form a group in the name of religion, assassinate in the name of religion, and then oops! Repent and fast for three months, and it will too pass in the name of religion."

The comedian has faced several court cases in the past accusing him of insulting Morsi. One of Youssef's attorneys, Gamal Eid, said however that this is the first time an arrest warrant has been issued for the comedian.

In a post on his official Twitter account, Youssef said he will hand himself in to the prosecutor's office Sunday. He then added, with his typical sarcasm: "Unless they kindly send a police van today and save me the transportation hassle."

Eid said the warrant fits into a widening campaign against government critics, media personalities, and activists, saying "the prosecution has become a tool to go after the regime's opposition and intimidate it."

A call to a top aide to the country's chief prosecutor, Hassan Yassin, for comment went unanswered.

Egypt's leading pro-democracy advocate and top opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei lamented the state of affairs in the country in a message posted on Saturday on his official Twitter account. "Pathetic efforts to smother dissent and intimidate media is a sign of a shaky regime and a bunker mentality," he wrote.

The other recent arrest warrants for five high-profile activists were issued over allegations that they instigated violence last week near the Brotherhood's headquarters in Cairo, where nearly 200 people were injured in clashes between anti-government protesters and supporters of the Brotherhood, from which Morsi hails.

Morsi responded by harshly criticizing his opponents, calling them hired thugs out to derail Egypt's democracy. The Brotherhood also blamed privately-owned media for fanning the violence.

The criticism was followed by a two-day protest by dozens of Islamists outside the studios of TV networks critical of Morsi. The protesters pelted police and prevented some talk show hosts and guests from entering or leaving the complex.

The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists called the escalation of anti-press "rhetoric" by Morsi and his supporters and the sit-in outside the media city were "deeply troubling."

The series of prosecutions and arrest warrants come amid a legal challenge to the chief prosecutor, Talaat Abdullah, whose appointment by Morsi last year was declared void by a court ruling earlier this week.

On Saturday, Abdullah said he will appeal the court ruling, saying it is "in violation of the constitution and the law," Egypt's state news agency reported. The decision signals a protracted legal battle is likely to ensue, further confusing the legal scene in Egypt.

In the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, an Egyptian rights group said Saturday that police detained 13 people, including five lawyers, and accused them of assaulting police. The arrests inside the police station mark a rare instance in which lawyers face potential criminal charges.

The Haqanya Center for Rights said the 13 are accused of insulting security officials, attempting to free other detainees at the police station and illegal assembly.

The arrests prompted an angry response from lawyers at Cairo's Bar Association, who demanded an apology from the police.

Those detained include prominent lawyer and pro-democracy activist Mahienour el-Masry. Several dozen Cairo protesters held a rally outside the chief prosecutor's office, dismissing his orders as void, locking up the gates to his office with chains and demanding the release of the lawyers and activists.

Mohammed Abdel-Aziz, an attorney, said the lawyers and activists were beaten and assaulted at the station, where they had been since Friday to represent three opposition members reportedly detained and taken to the police by members of a political party affiliated with the Brotherhood.

Jessie J is flaunting her fabulous figure -- and her blonde crew cut -- in a new Instagram photo.

The singer posted a picture of herself on March 28 sporting a teeny blue strapless bikini, writing, "#birthdaygetaway #tennisballhead."

Jessie J recently shaved her head for charity, buzzing off her dark locks in honor of the U.K's "Red Nose Day." But her hairdo wasn't what caught our attention in this snapshot -- we were too busy checking out her incredible beach body.

Jessie J turned 25 on March 27 and has been celebrating with friends while on vacation this week.

"As the sun went down I said a little prayer... Appreciating the moments of beauty in the world, thinking of those who need my thoughts," she wrote on Instagram March 28, "Love light and good health xx."

Original Aunt Viv Wants To End Feud With Will Smith

Janet Hubert, the actress who played the original Aunt Vivian on "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" but was replaced after three seasons, says she's tired of feuding and wants to patch things up with Will Smith.

In the wide-ranging interview with TheGrio.com above, Hubert explains the details surrounding her departure from the series and concedes that after twenty years of bickering, she wants to make peace with Will Smith and rest of the show's cast.

“I would say to him [Smith], we need to heal this. You’ve done some things, you’ve said some things, that were totally untrue and you know that they were untrue. I’ve said some things that I probably should have never said ... I’m tired. Aren’t you tired Will?” Hubert said of the feud. When asked if she would attend a reunion of the show, she replied, "Absolutely."

Hubert's statements strike a much different tone than many of her previous comments about Smith and the show. When Smith shared a photo on Facebook of much of the "Fresh Prince" cast -- but not Hubert -- back together in 2011, she told TMZ, "There will never be a reunion … as I will never do anything with an a**hole like Will Smith. He is still an egomaniac and has not grown up. This constant reunion thing will never ever happen in my lifetime unless there is an apology, which he doesn’t know the word.”

We wouldn't recommend taking advice from Snooki when it comes to, well, most things. But when the erstwhile "Jersey Shore" star decided to offer up some words of wisdom to Kim Kardashian, we were more than willing to eavesdrop -- out of sheer curiosity, of course.

Addressing the pregnant star in her capacity as Celebrity Baby Correspondent for Celebuzz (looks like she's found a second career?), Snooki dishes about "how to look glam during labor -- because it's a bitch."

"If your face isn't already made up when your water breaks," new mom Snooki says in the Celebuzz video, "you have plenty of time to do it in the hospital when you're waiting to dilate." Yippee! Just make sure to choose your color palette wisely, she says, seeing as hospital lighting and decor is totally drab.

The new mom also tells Kim to be prepared in case of emergencies: "Remember to keep an extra pair of eyelashes in your purse just in case your water breaks when you're not at home. Or just do like I did and bring a whole box."

And on the subject of jewelry: "Make sure you stay away from the big hoop earrings, because it can get caught in your extensions. But you can wear some nice diamond studs so you look really cute in your selfies."

Oh, how well she knows Kim.

Think we're making any of this up? Believe it, baby -- or just watch the Celebuzz video below and see for yourself.

Freddie Mercury Smuggled Princess Diana Into A Gay Bar?

$

According to a new book, Queen Legend Freddie Mercury snuck Princess Diana into a notorious gay bar in the late 1980s -- and the beloved royal went unnoticed.

In "The Power of Positive Drinking," comedian Cleo Rocos writes about how she, TV star Kenny Everett and Mercury disguised Princess Diana as a male model so that she could sneak into the Royal Vauxhall Tavern in south London. Dressed in an army jacket, black cap and sunglasses, Diana enjoyed a night out on the town, free of attention.

"When we walked in ... we felt she was obviously Princess Diana and would be discovered at any minute. But people just seemed to blank her. She sort of disappeared. But she loved it," Rocos says, adding that the venue was packed, but the presence of Mercury, Everett and herself helped divert attention from Diana so that she could order drinks at the bar. The group left after about 20 minutes.

"She did look like a beautiful young man," Rocos explains. "She was always a very fit girl, so they might have thought, 'There's a nice young man with pert buttocks.'"

Did Chris Brown Slam Drake?

$

After a recent feud with Frank Ocean, Chris Brown has found his next target. In a remix to Young Jeezy's "R.I.P.," Brown turns his sights to Drake, taking his spat with the rapper a step further.

In the remix Brown raps, "Dearly departed, I bought a plane I departed / And if you started from the bottom, go on and come out the closet." With Drake's recent hit titled "Started from the Bottom," Brown is likely taking aim at Drizzy.

The tension between Brown and Drake begin last summer when the pair reportedly got in a bar fight in Manhattan over Brown's on-again, off-again girlfriend, Rihanna.

Drake recently fired back with his new single, "5 AM in Toronto." With lyrics such as "I’m just being frank with you / I mean, where you think she at when she ain’t with you?" reportedly alluding to Rihanna's relationship with Brown, and "A couple albums dropped, those are still on the shelf / I bet them s--ts would have popped if I was willing to help," targeting Brown's less-than-stellar album sales, the feud is definitely two-sided.

Never one to let go of a fight, Brown made his hatred for Drake even more clear when he simply shouted "F--k Drake" to a crowd at a venue in Hollywood earlier this month.

Evan Ross Katz: 'Real Housewife' Aviva Drescher: 'Care About Kindness'

2013-03-26-1333647646_realhousewivesofnyczoom.jpg
If being a "Real Housewife" is all diamonds and rosé, being a replacement "Housewife" is bit more like... jellybeans. Take Peggy Tanous, who joined the cast of the mother ship, The Real Housewives of OC, for its sixth season in 2011. Bringeth the drama she did not, so Peggy was demoted to "Friend of a Housewife" for the following season. Dana Wilkey had a similar fate on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills when she was brought in as a "friend' during the show's second season, only to see fellow "friend" (but not friend -- let's be clear) Brandi Glanville become the show's second-wind breakaway star.

But no franchise has had more difficulty with that 'ole routine maintenance than The Real Housewives of New York City. When Bethenny Frankel successfully crossed through the mythical reality star ether with her SkinnyGirl Cocktails (sold to Beam Global for an astonishing $120 million in 2011), she opted to depart the show at the conclusion of the third season, leaving behind an undeniable void. For Season 4, Cindy Barshop was brought in to be the sassy, downtown, single mother of twin baby girls, "juggling it all." Viewers let out a collective yawn, and suddenly Bravo was faced with the prospect of making room in the Housewives graveyard (to this date, a lonely plot, occupied solely by The Real Housewives of DC).

And then came the reboot. In September 2011, Bravo announced its amicable parting of ways with Ms. Barshop, Kelly "Honestly, if being inauthentic means graduating from Columbia University, writing three books, starting two magazines, bearing two children, being the ambassador for wool, running a marathon for charity -- if that's inauthentic? Tell me what authentic is" Bensimon, Alex "You Are In High School And I Am In Brooklyn" McCord, and fan-favorite Jill "You are an effing bitch" Zarin". Quietly entered the new class: Heather Thomson (another shapewear designer), Carole Radziwill (Emmy-winning journalist and author), and Aviva Drescher (philanthropist).

Everyone was getting along all fine-ish until Slutty Island (aka St. Barths) when the almighty Ramona "Pinot Grigio" Singer got into it with newbie Aviva. Sparks really flew off the handle when Ramona claimed Aviva's husband Reid was not expected upon the couple's arrival at St. Barth's for their girls trip. Words were had. Aviva infamously called Ramona white trash. Ramona infamously told Aviva to take a XANAX!!!!!!! The fight propelled the remainder of the season's dramatic arc, earning Aviva a coveted seat directly next to Andy Cohen during the reunion (a seat occupied by Bethenny just two seasons earlier).

Aviva quickly earned her place in the 'Housewives' pedigree going tow-to-tow with Ramona, all but assuredly securing a spot on the show's still unconfirmed sixth season. In the off-season, besides raising her four children, Aviva spends a great deal of time promoting various charitable organizations. When we sat down, Aviva was shooting an ad campaign for The ShineOut Musical Festival, a three-day LGBT music festival happening this October in NYC. Aviva, a straight ally, donned a "SO STRAIGHT SO SUPPORTIVE" T-shirt for the campaign.

2013-03-26-SGSW_AvivaDrescher.jpg

After the shoot I sat down with Aviva to talk equality for all and, of course, some Housewives prattle.

Viva Aviva! Talk to me about how you got involved with the ShineOut Music Festival and what it means to you.

Well, I had met the people behind the campaign, Darren Melchiorre and Chris Ryan, and I really believed in it. And for as long as I can remember, I've always been an advocate for differences. I'm an advocate for amputees and physically challenged and I believe that that goes right into celebrating people's differences.

I was listening to you talk to your children earlier, and you said, "We're here today because gay people deserve to happy just like everyone else."

Everyone should feel good about themselves. Whatever it is, own who you are: The good, the bad, the ugly, the different. Nobody's perfect. Gay, in my opinion, is beautiful. Love is beautiful. And we should celebrate it all. My husband and I don't care about who's bonking who. We care about kindness.

2013-03-27-Aviva3.jpg

I like that. Now, you and your husband must have had quite a year. How has your life changed since joining the ranks of a 'Real Housewife'?

Well, for starters, a lot of people stare at me.

Did you anticipate that?

I anticipated change, but I really didn't know what was going to happen. I expected worse, actually. Now I have to give myself 10 minutes before I go some place because people want to stop and get a picture or an autograph. But I feel like if you put yourself in a public light, no matter what, you have an obligation to give people that time.

And these people are honest-to-god superfans. They really seem to invest themselves in the well-being of you ladies.

They really do. It's an incredible phenomenon, this piece of pop culture. It's been an exhilarating and life-changing experience because I've been able to get the word out there to amputees and physically challenged and it's also opened up many doors for me. I have a lot of projects going on.

2013-03-27-aviva4.jpg

And then there's the social media.

Oh yeah. The whole social media thing is a complete mind F-U-C-K.

I've been following some of the RHOBH on Twitter recently -- which is new for me -- and the way they attack each other...

Oh, they do? You know, "Housewives" have been called narcissists, and I've thought a lot about that. A friend of mine who works with celebrities, told me she'd never seen anything as narcissists as the entire Housewives franchise. But there's no one else, besides reality stars, who put their lives on camera for everyone to dissect. That makes you a little self-conscious. I think the 'Housewives' that are responding on social media in an off-color way are probably just feeling defensive.

Which makes total sense if you feel like you're being backed into a wall.

I have a whole new respect for actors and real celebrities -- you know, we're just phonies -- because it's not easy. My favorite "Housewife" is always the one who puts herself out on the line for the sake of a good show. Any "Housewife" that drums up the drama has tremendous courage and is really putting themselves second for the franchise. 'Cause you're going to get beaten up no matter how you spin that wheel. Right now I really admire Brandi [Glanville] because I think that she's got guts. It's so much easier to just sit there and be quiet and not get involved in the drama and the minute you get out there -- and she's really radical -- you know you're making a great show. And believe me, she's going to get pummeled.

Do you have a favorite "Housewife"?

I love Lisa Vanderpump. I love Heather Dubrow. I think she's very chic. On my show, I honestly love the whole crew.

Oh, you do? Let's get into that. Do you hang out with them when you're not filming? I think that's the question people always want to know.

We do. As much as time permits. When we're filming we have, like, no life, so when we're not filming, we want to work on our projects, we want to be with our families, we want to get back to regular life. But we do get together. I had dinner with Heather two weeks ago. I'm going to see Carole in the next few weeks.

Is the dynamic different when you hang out off camera?

Well, we're able to break the fourth wall. If we're on camera, we can't talk about being on camera. When we're off camera we can actually talk about the business. In that way, it's a little bit more authentic. You can't get on camera and say, "So what do you think about all these cameras around us all day?" It's a bond that we share. There's only like, 35 "Housewives" in the country. It's an experience that's incomparable.

2013-03-26-realhousewivesofnewyorkseason5avivaramonafight518.jpg
Where do things stand with you and Ramona?

We're not speaking. At all.

When the cameras aren't rolling, are things as fiery and confrontational between the two of you?

First of all, a lot of time has passed and time heals all wounds. I will bump into her at an event. So we'll be on the red carpet together here or there and we're totally civilized. We're not uncivilized people. When you're seated at a table with somebody that you're not really fond of, you just don't talk to them. One thing I've noticed about "Housewives" is that there are spies everywhere.

And "Housewives" live to trash tweet.

I'm really a rookie, so when it was airing and Ramona would say things, I would actually get really annoyed. She did some things that were insensitive and I would respond to it on Twitter. And I know realize that that was completely stupid.

It's tough, though, because if you don't weigh in, you might feel misrepresented.

It's that old adage: What do you do when you're attacked, is it eye for an eye or do you turn the other cheek? I have not been hired to turn the other cheek. In life I believe in turning the other cheek, but to create a good show, kinda go with an eye-for-an-eye.

Where do things stand between you and Carole? I felt some unsquashed tension at the reunion. Am I nuts?

Carole definitely did not approve of me calling Ramona white trash. That is something that she felt was inappropriate. And I agree with her. So I think her opportunity to express that was on the couch. But we totally get along fine.

But "Quite frankly you're both white trash," has become among my favorite soundbites from the series. So, inappropriate it or not, it left its mark.

It's a catch-22. You're not hired to do this job to take the high road. I remember on my first day of filming, Ramona and LuAnn were talking and they were having a fight. And I was like, "You know, you guys, there are people in hospitals dying of cancer." And they were like, "Cut!" "Boring!" "That's not good TV." You're hired like a wrestler to get into some muk muk.

And the ones that don't are booted.

Unless you're very clever. I think Lisa Vanderpump really, really -- in part because she has that fabulous accent -- hit the mark at being witty and staying out of the fray. I'm not that good.

And good zingers in the confessional. Taking after Bethenny.

Right.

2013-03-27-Aviva2.jpg
Of all of the things that happened during your first season with the show, what was the most batshit crazy thing that happened?

You want one thing?

I'll take several.

I couldn't believe that after I had asked Ramona for permission for my husband to come down to St. Barths on that little plane, that she said anything at all about it. I couldn't believe it.

Did you feel like she was doing that to drum up a fight?

Probably. But I couldn't believe it. That, and when she threw my dad out of a party. I still think that was wrong.

And he's become such a fan favorite.

People really love him. It makes it easier for me, because I'm so embarrassed of him. So when people love him, it makes it easier for me to face the world. A PR company dropped off a bag of make-up for me the other day and they wrote on the card, 'Can't wait for you to use this make up and everybody here loves your dad. Please tell him hello from us.' I need to take a picture of the card and send it to the old, horny geezer.

There's a rumor going around that Jill Zarin might be rejoining the cast.

You know, the cast is always the last to know. You all probably know before us.

Well, can you spill anything about Season 6? It's shrouded in so much mystery at the moment.

I wish I could.

Well... fabulous! I am looking forward to Season 6, if there's a Season 6. I believe there will be a Season 6.

The singer, 28, was all smiles as she pounded the pavement, eventually running into fellow star Jane Lynch and her wife Lara Embry, who were exercising on the same trail.

Perry looks better than ever after reports surfaced that her now ex-boyfriend John Mayer dumped her because she was "getting fat." GossipCop investigated the claim and a Mayer insider said the rumor was simply "not correct."

Well of course it's not -- does it look like Katy is gaining weight to you?

'Real Housewives'-Bound?

Watch out Lisa Vanderpump, another Lisa -- Lisa Rinna -- could be heading to "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."

According to RadarOnline, Rinna has been approached to join the Season 4 cast of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." "Lisa already knows people at Bravo and they really like her. She’s funny but she’s got a great sense of humor so she can send zingers," a source told the gossip site.

In 2011, Rinna revealed she was close to joining the show's cast for Season 1. "We were in discussions originally," Rinna said. "I was up for it, and at the time I did my show instead of 'Beverly Hills.' It was part of the process, but then my show came along so I ended up doing our show." The show Rinna referred to was "Harry Loves Lisa" on TV Land.

In February 2013, Rinna and Bravo's Andy Cohen discussed the possibility of her joining the cast. "I don’t know what it would be like once you get in that rat’s nest of it all," she said.

"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" is reportedly going to shake up its cast for the fourth season. Adrienne Maloof has already left the series and reports indicate Taylor Armstrong and Camille Grammer will also bid the series goodbye. Faye Resnick is also reportedly done with the series. RadarOnline previously reported Baroness Monica Von Neumann is also in talks to join the cast.

Bravo has yet to officially announce any new cast members.

Note: Do not read on if you have not yet seen Season 3, Episode 1 of HBO's "Game of Thrones," titled "Valar Dohaeris."

How fitting for a season premiere that tonight's "Game of Thrones" was all about new beginnings -- and one ending, for the nipple of a certain unfortunate warrior-for-hire.

The episode itself begins with a rare cold open -- and boy, was it cold! (Sorry, this will get better, I promise.) After a few ominous dragon White Walker shrieks over a black screen, we see Samwell Tarly fleeing through the driving snow -- presumably on the run from the gigantic army of Others we saw in the closing moments of last season. He comes upon a comrade, only to discover that the poor sucker is holding his own head in his arms. Then another comrade attacks Samwell, his eyes a telltale zombie blue. Just before Samwell meets the same fate, a direwolf attacks the wight -- then the monster spontaneously combusts.

The writers are really making the most of the low-visibility conditions, because next thing you know, the entire expeditionary force of the Night's Watch is standing there, just about all of them nursing painful head wounds. After scolding Samwell for fumbling his "only job" -- he didn't send a raven! -- Lord Commander Jeor Mormont announces that they must return to the wall and announce that the Others are back in action. Otherwise, he says, "before wintertime, everyone you've ever known will be dead."

Roll credits! ("Thrones, F**kin' Game of Thrones, F**kin' Game of Thrones, F**kin' Game of Thrones, F**kin' Game of ...!")

As the Night's Watch begin their march south to sound the alarm, Jon Snow begins his new chapter as a double agent infiltrating the inner circle of Mance Rayder, the self-declared King Beyond the Wall. There's a heavy "Apocalypse Now" vibe to Snow's arc, and it's finally time for him to meet his Kurtz. But first he has to walk through the Wildlings' tent city, where he receives something less than a hero's welcome. As the local boys pelt him with stones, he complains to Ygritte that their King used to dress like him too. Somehow, no one gives a damn. Inside the King's tent, Jon gets confused and kneels before the wrong guy, which the King finds mighty amusing. (Hey, we'll take humor in this show wherever we can get it.) Rayder steps forward and tells Jon that, on this side of the Wall, nobody kneels to anybody.

Oh, and incidentally, there are no rules to prevent a hearty lad like Snow from having his way with a willing lass like Ygritte. Is that why Snow betrayed his brothers? No, Snow says -- he wanted to be free. Baloney, says Rayder, challenging Snow to come up with a more persuasive explanation for his decision to kill Qhorin Halfhand and switch sides. So Snow tells the story of how his Lord Commander stood by and did nothing as Captain Incest sacrificed a baby boy to the Others. "I want to fight for the side that fights for the living," he says. "Did I come to the right place?" There's truth to that, and we've already seen one resentful almost-heir of the Starks, Theon Greyjoy, channel his resentment into a full-fledged betrayal. But I'm pretty sure Snow isn't going total Stockholm Syndrome on us yet.

Meanwhile, back in King's Landing, Tyrion is adjusting to his diminished circumstances. The wound on his face has healed, so now it's time to see if he can regain some of the influence he so enjoys wielding. His first step is to call on Bronn, who is so busy enjoying this season's first instance of gratuitous nudity that he almost blows off the summons. Bronn eventually arrives to find Tyrion's door barred by two of Cersei's knights. She and Tyrion are inside, having one of their heartwarming sibling consultations.

Cersei leaves just before the three swordsmen reduce one another to Mario Batali pasta specials, and Tyrion explains to Bronn that he needs him back. They negotiate a new fee (double the old one, since Bronn is a knight now), and Tyrion makes what we can assume is his first post-injury sojourn through King's Landing, to see dear old Dad. Unfortunately, the vicious old prig has no intention of giving Tyrion the gratitude he craves for saving the city from Stannis Baratheon's invading army.

Peter Dinklage is always great, but it's worth noting how masterfully he plays this scene. We see that Tyrion genuinely wants his father's approval, and feels truly hurt -- and enraged -- when it's so unfairly withheld. But we also see his mental gears turning. If he can't win his father over, he'll win the war of wits, at least, by demanding the one thing he must know his father will never give him: Casterly Rock, the seat of House Lannister.

We know from last season that Tyrion wants to be in King's Landing, not some fortress in the Westerlands, so my theory is that he made the demand to extract concessions from Tywin -- which he gets, sort of. Tywin promises him better accommodations, a position worthy of his name and a suitable wife, if he behaves himself. But the old man also gets off some Grade A insults ("You are an ill-made, spiteful little creature ... To teach me humility, the gods have condemned me to watch you waddle about") and threatens to kill any whore he finds in Tyrion's bed. Tyrion looks furious -- but not scared.

Like you, perhaps, I had assumed Ser Davos Seaworth had bought the farm in Blackwater Bay, but no -- here he is, waking up on a rock in the middle of the sea, his hair long and his face covered in blisters. He waves down a ship, then persuades his old pirate buddy to transport him to Dragonstone so he can confront Melisandre. Actually, I believe his exact words are that he wants to "carve out her heart." His son, who bought into her mumbo jumbo about the Lord of Light, is dead, and Davos blames the Red Priestess.

Unfortunately, when he gets to Dragonstone, it becomes clear that she's convinced Stannis that the whole defeat was Davos' fault -- for preventing her from accompanying the attacking forces. "I could have saved them," she declares. It's the kind of impossible-to-prove claim that office sociopaths are always making to the higher-ups, and Davos' resulting rage lands him in a dungeon. Oops.

I admit I'm not exactly clear on what happened in Harrenhal. When Robb Stark and his troops arrive, it's corpse central, but I don't understand why. (Now's probably a good time to admit that I haven't read the books, though I am making liberal use of A Wiki of Ice and Fire.) Last we saw of Harrenhal, to my knowledge, Arya, Gendry and Hot Pie were beating a retreat past a bunch of dead guards -- but surely her creepy shape-shifter friend Jaqen didn't kill everybody in the city, did he? And I'm assuming Tywin and his troops didn't just slaughter everyone on their way out of town to save King's Landing, right? Maybe someone smarter than me can explain this (without spoilers) in the comments.

The most interesting thing that happens in Harrenhal -- apart from Robb's stubborn but understandable persistence in treating his mother like a prisoner -- is the writers' decision not to have the one miraculously living survivor tell us what the hell happened. Instead, sidestepping that particular time-honored cliché, they just have him reply incredulously when Talisa tells him he's lucky to be alive. "Lucky?" he says, meaningfully. Oh, these are dark times, kiddies. You might even be better off dead.

But back to the episode's themes: new beginnings! Sansa is ready to have one, now that she's no longer betrothed to the most powerful little shit in the Seven Kingdoms. You can tell she has escape on her mind because she's forcing Shae to play a game where they fantasize about where various ships are headed -- and Sansa's fantasy involves leaving King's Landing and never coming back. She's retreating into her imagination because "the truth is always either terrible or boring." (For the record, I would wear that on a T-shirt.)

Just then, Littlefinger shows up and asks to speak to Sansa alone. She asks him to make good on his offer to help her get the hell out of Dodge, and he says there might be a way. Meanwhile, Ros gives Shae a friendly warning about Littlefinger: "Watch out for her with him," she says. It's true -- the guy has no scruples whatsoever. Then again, he's in love with Catelyn. Maybe he really wants to help Sansa -- or maybe he thinks delivering her to Catelyn will score him some major points? Whatever the answer, he's risking a lot by plotting to deprive the Lannisters of their last human bargaining chip for Jaime's pretty little head.

The little shit, for his part, is still trying to figure out his new wife, Margaery. (Can anyone spell a name the normal way in this damned series?) We know she's ambitious, and she seems to be modeling her nascent queenship on Princess Diana, stopping the royal convoy in Flea Bottom for some impromptu orphan relief. That night, Cersei, who probably embroidered her beautiful gown with the arteries of starving children, warns Margaery to stay the hell off the streets of Flea Bottom, but Joffrey is more philosophical. "I'm sure she knows what she's doing," he opines during dinner, not mentioning that he watched her activities from the safety of his covered carriage, too afraid to step outside and reel her in.

There is exactly zero chance that Joffrey believes in helping the poor, so I assume he's (a) watching to see if such activities can help him win back some much-needed support for the people, or (b) waiting for a chance to punish Margaery in some virtuosic way that the rest of us can't even imagine. Actually, it's probably both.

And now for the ultimate new beginning: Daenerys Targaryen, her dragons, Ser Jorah Mormont and a shipload of puking Dothraki warriors are on the move! The three dragons are growing up fast, though not fast enough for Dany, whose eyes tell you all you need to know about her insatiable zeal to set half the world on fire if that's what it takes to win the Iron Throne. This motley assemblage drops anchor at Astorpor, where Jorah thinks they might pick up some mercenary warriors.

There is some National Lampoon-style translation humor as the slaver, Kraznys, repeatedly insults the newcomers without their knowledge. But things turn serious when he slices off a warrior's nipple to show how impervious they are to all human considerations. Then Khaleesi learns that each of these 8,000 warriors -- eunuchs known as The Unsullied -- has murdered a slave baby in front of his mother as a rite of initiation. We're left to interpret the steely look in her eyes, but I don't think it's admiration or even greed for their unwavering loyalty. I think she's envisioning the fiery revenge she's going to exact on these savages.

She's still humoring Jorah as they walk through the marketplace, but she's also playing a game of hide and seek with a small girl. The girl throws her a ball and signals that she should open it. Just then, a man in a cloak comes at Khaleesi with a knife. Jorah grabs him, the ball falls to the ground, and a sinister scorpion-looking thing climbs out of it. The knife again -- it stabs the scorpion, saving Daenerys' life. The man in the cloak chases the little girl, who reveals herself to be a warlock before diving into the water and reappearing on the other side. The man introduces himself as Barristan Selmy, the proud warrior whom Joffrey fired from the Knightsguard. He swears his allegiance to Daenerys, giving her yet another noble champion -- and giving Jorah a rival for Khaleesi's loyalty.

If it were up to me (it's not), I'd hand the Iron Throne to Daenyrus in the end. Sure, she's completely mental, but isn't that what you want in a sovereign? Nobody wants to look at the throne and think, "Man, what does he or she have that I don't? That should be me up there." You want to think, "Holy Christ, that person was born to lead -- and better her than me!" Daenyrus has that possessed quality -- she looks and acts as if she were placed in the world for one reason only: to vanquish her enemies and lay claim to the Seven Kingdoms. Telling her she can't rule the Seven Kingdoms would be like telling Anna Wintour she can't edit Vogue magazine.

Plus, Daenyrus has character. You just know she's going to make that smug slavedriver pay. Her motto should be: "Has dragons, will use 'em."

"Big men fall just as quick as little ones, if you put a sword through their hearts." -- Jon Snow

"Game of Thrones" finally returned last night after 10 long months of silence. And with it, HuffPost TV's weekly "Game of Thrones" Power Ranking, brought to you by certified ASOIAF nerds Amy Lee and Joe Satran. In case you missed this recap series last season, we'll be writing a post every week after the episode airs in which we explain how the events of the previous nights episode affected the balance of power in Westeros. In the world of George R.R. Martin's series, power can change hands in a moment's notice, so you always have to be vigilant.

Season 3 picks up immediately after the end of Season 2: North of the Wall, with Samwell Tarly witnessing an attack on the Night's Watch camp at the Fist of the First Men by the Others. The rest of the episode involved a lot of scene-setting and recapping. We aren't griping -- it was delicious scene-setting and recapping -- but there wasn't all that much action. We were mostly seeing the after-effects of the startlingly dramatic final two episodes of the second season.

Still, the wheel of power never stops turning. So scroll down to see where the pieces sit on the board after this week's episode.

The Power Rankings
Using a complex algorithm that takes into account each player's wealth, military might and dominion over lands, along with a "bonus" factor that adjusts for unquantifiable assets that could influence events, we've surveyed the lay of the land to figure out who is winning the game of thrones at the end of the Season 3 premiere, "Valar Dohaeris."


1. Tywin Lannister (End of Season 2: 1) This episode, Tywin Lannister, the richest man in Westeros, showed that he intends to use every last ounce of the power granted to him by his position as Hand of the King. He takes the job even more seriously than his son Tyrion did last season, wielding his quill and ink with even more assurance that his son Jaime wields a sword. At this point, it's hard to tell how Tywin's harsh on-screen demeanor will translate into policy, or how his reign will affect laypeople or "the realm." But Lord Lannister's severity and imperiousness has already taken a toll on his family. Tywin doesn't visit his son Tyrion after the Battle of the Blackwater, even though Tyrion was severely wounded by his sister Cersei's lackey. So the Imp goes to visit him. Tyrion asks to be made heir to the family castle, noting that his older brother Jaime's position in the Kingsguard precludes him from inheriting lands. In an echo of Stannis's proclamation to his brother Renly at the beginning of Season 2, he says, "It is mine, by right." However, Tywin makes his own justice. Tyrion's injury and crucial role in the defense of King's Landing haven't convinced Tywin that his son deserves respect, or even pity. So Tywin rebuffs his own pathetic son. "Neither gods nor men will ever compel me to let you turn Casterly Rock into your whorehouse," he says. It's hard to think of a better definition of power than the ability to defy the law's of gods and men with impunity. Joffrey may sit on the Iron Throne, but it's his grandfather Tywin who rules the country with an iron fist.


2. Robb Stark (End of Season 2: 2) We don't see a great deal of Robb this episode -- just one sequence in Harrenhal -- but his position hasn't changed drastically from the end of Season 2. He's still undefeated in battle, but he also still has less gold and fewer troops than his Lannister enemies. There are also signs of growing discontent among his supporters. He sees Rickard Karstark and Roose Bolton, two of his foremost bannermen, whispering and glowering in his direction, prompting him to send his mother Catelyn (who released their prisoner Jaime against his will) to a cell in the castle.


3. Margaery Tyrell (End of Season 2: 3) Margaery proved right away that she plans to be a far more forceful fiancee to Joffrey than Sansa ever was. But she doesn't fight the Lions on their own terms by opposing their plans. Her form of resistance (unlike, say, Ned Stark's) isn't that overt. Instead, she casts herself into an appealing alternative to the Lannister hegemony. She bravely goes out into the city slums to conduct charity work in a bid to win popular support. And, as Cersei notes several times, she wears revealing clothing, showcasing her young supple body, in an attempt to lure Joffrey away from his mother and grandfather. But make no mistake: Her apparent gentleness is always backed up by military force and wealth. And she never lets the Lannisters forget it. At dinner, she slyly notes, "One hundred wagons arrive daily from the Reach carrying food. We've had a blessed harvest. But it's our duty to help the capital in a time of need." The Tyrells, unlike the Starks and Lannisters, have never been kings or queens -- their noble lineage extends back only as far as the Targaryen invasion 300 years before the show takes place, making them arrivistes in the Red Keep. But Margaery's talents could well change that before the series is done.


4. Cersei & Joffrey Lannister (End of Season 2: 4) Cersei is obviously threatened by Margaery, and rightly so. She's charming, sweet and personable where Cersei is hard and calculating. And Joffrey shows, at dinner with Cersei and Joffrey, that his allegiance is already starting to shift to his betrothed. But in the world of "Game of Thrones," kindness rarely beats brutality. Cersei and Joffrey are both brutal, and they both have access to tremendous reserves of soldiers and money. So if either of them should decide to go on the offensive, there's no guarantee that all the popular support or charm in the world would stop them.


5. Daenerys Targaryen (End of Season 2: --) In the last 10 minutes of Season 2, Dany showed some real fierceness when she invaded Xaro Xhoan Daxos's home, locked him in a vault and stole his gold to buy a ship to Astapor. But after the rough transition from Season 1 to Season 2 -- from dragons to the desert -- we weren't willing to grant her a place in the Power Rankings quite yet. But in the Season 3 premiere, she started to deliver on her promise. Her dragons have gotten (slightly) bigger. She landed in Astapor and contemplated buying a supernaturally obedient army of eunuch slave soldiers, The Unsullied -- and she gained the support of Ser Barristan Selmy, one of the greatest fighters in the world, whom we haven't seen since he was unceremoniously fired by Cersei at the end of the first season. She's still very far from Westeros, she still has little money and no land, but there's no doubting that Daenerys has the most room to grow of anyone on the list.


Wildcards
These characters are important, but don't make it to the top five in our Power Rankings -- yet.


Tyrion Lannister
Poor Tyrion. After playing a decisive role in the battle to defend King's Landing, Tyrion is short an ear, half a nose, and his position as Hand of the King. Now ensconced in a homely little room, Tyrion entertains his sister Cersei as she simultaneously gloats and prods Tyrion to reveal why he's going to see their father. Later, Tyrion visits Tywin, who reprimands him for spending his time "bedding harlots and drinking with thieves" instead of doing his job. After Tyrion complains that no one cared about his wounds or his efforts, Tywin rebuffs him. "Jugglers or singers require applause. You are a Lannister," he says.

Tyrion takes a different tack -- he wants his place as the rightful heir to Casterly Rock (which Jaime, as a member of the Kingsguard, cannot inherit).

"I would let myself be consumed by maggots before mocking the family name and making you heir to Casterly Rock," Tywin tells him.

"Why?" Tyrion asks.

"Why? You ask that, you who killed your mother to come into the world? You are an ill-made, spiteful little creature full of envy, lust and low cunning. Men's laws give you the right to bear my name and display my colors, since I cannot prove that you are not mine. And to teach me humility, the gods have condemned me to watch you waddle about, wearing the proud lion that was my father's sigil, and his father's sigil before him. But neither gods nor men will ever compel me to turn Casterly Rock into your whorehouse," Tywin answers.

Ouch.


Sansa Stark
The good news is that Sansa is no longer engaged to Joffrey. The bad news is that she's still in King's Landing and the best defense she has at the moment is Tyrion's favorite whore. It seems she may have one more friend -- Petyr Baelish, whose unrequited love for Sansa's mother is well-known across the kingdom. He tells her he's seen her mother and sister, and that he has a plan to help her escape from King's Landing. She's enthusiastically on board, but her handmaiden Shae is less than convinced of Littlefinger's good intentions; Sansa is getting to look quite like her mother did at her age.

"The truth is either terrible or boring," Sansa says at one point. In Westeros at the moment, we'd say it's more terrible than boring.


Petyr 'Littlefinger' Baelish

Petyr is hoping to go on an assignment that will take him "far away" from the capitol. And if he does, he'll (try) to take Sansa with him.


Jon Snow
When we left off, Jon had just killed Quorin Halfhand, his brother in black. It's enough to convince the Wildlings -- or Ygritte at least -- that he's an ally, not an enemy. He's brought to meet Mance Rayder, the "King Beyond-the-Wall," but when he kneels to offer a courtly "Your Grace," the tent erupts in giggles. He's been kneeling to the wrong man. The real Rayder steps forward (a grizzled-up Ciaran Hinds), exuding warm charisma and a deceptively friendly face. But he's no fool. He presses Jon to give his reason for leaving his brothers for this band of outlaws.

"I want to be free," Jon says. Rayder contradicts him. "I think you want to be a hero," he says.

But Jon finds a better reason -- he tells the story of what happened at Craster's Keep (a baby boy is left in the woods as sacrifice to "one of them" -- a habit of which the Lord Commander is well aware). "I want to fight on the side of the living," he says. Rayder is convinced.


Samwell Tarly
The army of Others we saw at the end of the Season 2 finale didn't spot Sam from shivering behind his rock, but a lone wight wielding a frozen battle-axe lunges towards him -- when Ghost comes out of the snow and drags the creature back. Sam reunites with the Night's Watch, only to be chewed out by the Lord Commander for failing to send the ravens, which was his only job.


Stannis Baratheon
One minute you're ravaging the enemy's confused forces, with dreams of the Iron Throne swirling through your brain, and the next, you're sulking in a stone chair by the sea. Melisandre has convinced Stannis that if she had been in Blackwater Bay, she would have stopped the fire and he would now be king. But Davos convinced him to leave her behind. So when Davos shows up, Stannis is less than enthused.


Davos Seaworth
Davos might be one of the luckiest guys in Westeros. While everyone else is dying all over the place, Davos falls into a burning ocean and manages to wash up on a rock with injuries on par with a bad sunburn. A boat spots him flailing on said rock and, fortunately for Davos, it's Salladhor Saan, his pirate friend. But Saan is done with war. He tells Davos that Stannis has withdrawn into his room, while Melisandre burns unbelievers in the name of her god. Davos insists that he must go to Dragonstone, regardless.

"When you're dead. I'll gather your bones in a little sack and let your widow wear them around her neck," Saan tells him.

But when he finally returns to Stannis, Melisandre is beside him. With a well-timed jab about his dead son (he lost two in the Battle of Blackwater), she provokes Davos into attacking her, earning him a one-way ticket to the dungeons.

"Game of Thrones" airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on HBO.
