As in a Möbius strip, Louisa May Alcott's novel and the various movie incarnations influenced the designer's aesthetic in the first place. Isabelle Adjani at Cannes in the Eighties, Kiki Smith's Wolf Girl, Katharine Hepburn off The African Queen, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Frida Kahlo, Romy Schneider, Sissy Spacek, and Jules Bastien-Lepage's Joan of Arc are some of the extraordinary images assembled by Batsheva on Instagram as muses.

Out of all the characters in Game of Thrones did you ever think that Arya would be one of the few that would be remembered the most? She’s one of the biggest surprises out of the whole show and quite honestly she’s been one of the best that’s been allowed to develop no matter how many critics have risen to the challenge of putting her down. Arya Stark, the Wolf Girl, is one of the best characters still remaining when it comes to the show. Personally I’m hoping she’s still standing once the smoke clears and the end is finally

This second story arc, which began last issue, has not disappointed and looks like keeping up the very impressive standard of the first arc. No treading water for this title, it’s always full speed ahead, with constant plot reveals, story developments and character introductions. As a fan of the show I wouldn’t have accepted a sub standard comic cash-in, but this exceeds even what I would have settled for. It has been, and is, the TV show in comic form.
This arc has so far seen Lucifer ascendant, Sir Malcolm dead, Ethan reunited with Lily/Brona, a resurrected Vanessa Ives who’s not quite herself, a kick ass Catriona, and a very mixed up Dorian Gray. Did I mention Victor Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll/ Lord Hyde, and Renfield are also pieces on the board too. Chris King...

One of Leonardo DiCaprio's first big breaks was a part in the 1993 drama What's Eating Gilbert Grape, which makes the passing of his beloved costar Darlene Cates that much more heartbreaking. The actress, who played the Oscar-winner's mother in the film, died on Sunday at the age of 69. Her family was first to relay the sad news via Facebook, letting people know that she passed away "peacefully in her sleep." Darlene not only served as Leo's mom on screen, but also as a mother figure behind the scenes, which he discussed in a touching tribute on his own Facebook page. "Darlene was the best acting mom I ever had the privilege of working alongside," he wrote. "Her endearing personality and incredible talent will live on in the memories of those who knew her, and those who loved her work. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time.

Head: Curated by D. Dominick Lombardi Hamden Gallery, University of Massachusetts Amherst October 18 - November 12, 2015
Head, a group show being held at the University of Massachusetts’ Hampden Gallery, is being curated by D. Dominick Lombardi from October 18 to November 12. The exhibition, which features the diverse work of 20 artists, as well as the collaborative work of the twelve artist Outside-the-Line Collective, embarks on a mesmerizing visual tour of the head as an evolving object in contemporary art. A far cry from the arbitrary identity marker of early portraiture, Head demonstrates the head as an indistinguishable entity capable of broad symbolic meaning.
One of my favorite pieces is the life-size stoneware sculpture, “Wolf Woman” (2013) by Northampton based artist, Cynthia Consentino. In this stunning work, a life-size, bone white mannequin body is cast the grimacing head of a wolf, which plucks petals ominously from an enormous yellow flower. Beside it, “Wolf Girl III...

Its down to the wire! In just 48 hours, voting will close on Round 1 of the Hitfix 2nd Annual March Mayhem Tournament of Heroes vs. Villains, and results are looming that could turn the world of fandom on its head. Overall, the fan groups have been turning out in droves for this second year: the votes in the first week alone will likely match last year’s entire tournament. And thanks to this voter surge, our reigning titans are getting a real run for their money. Let’s look across the divisions: In the Movie Heroes Division, the two top-ranked heavyweights – Batman and Han Solo are both easily holding up their first round matches, fending off Philip Marlowe and Flash Gordon without hardly breaking a sweat. They better not think they can coast all the way to the division finals however, because right in the middle, Black Widow’s fanbase has been pouring in,...

Doctor Who, 50th Anniversary Special, “The Day of the Doctor”
Written by Steven Moffat
Directed by Nick Hurran
Aired Saturday, Nov. 23rd on BBC America
Doctor Who may be an international phenomenon, but when it comes to specials, particularly multi-Doctor specials, it doesn’t have the best track record. The Three Doctors (1972-73) , which kicked off the 10th season of the show, is fun, but lacks any significant emotional punch. The Five Doctors (1983), the 20th anniversary special, is a bit of a lark but it not only fails to live up to its title (the Fourth Doctor only barely appears, in one looped clip), it wastes most of its special guest stars. Then there’s The Two Doctors (1985), which doesn’t carry the extra burden of being an anniversary special but still fails to leave much of an impression, despite being an entertaining outing.

The Doctor Who 50th anniversary special was a twirling infinity vortex. It was set in the present and the past and another past and every time at once. There were multiple versions of every character, including Queen Elizabeth I. In the most Moffat-y script Steven Moffat has ever written for Doctor Who, the show took a deep dive into its own history, and it appeared to partially destroy that history, and it also provided a peek at its own far-flung future. At one point, three different time periods attacked one time period by traveling through another time period. And because this is Doctor Who,...

Plus, a trip down memory lane reveals Marcel’s connection to the Mikaelsons — especially the pretty blond one. (No, the other pretty blond one.)
The Originals is shaping up to be TV’s craziest game of chess, and every piece is sexy. Rebekah (Claire Holt) became the newest player on the Oct. 8 episode, as she arrived in New Orleans with one goal in mind: Find Elijah (Daniel Gillies). And hey, isn’t that really all of our goals?
Unfortunately, tracking down her perfect-haired brother was easier said than done, as her other also-perfect-haired brother Klaus (Joseph Morgan) gave Elijah’s daggered body over to his former protegé Marcel (Charles Michael Davis). It was all supposedly part of Klaus’ plan to overthrow Marcel and take back New Orleans, but as we learned during the course of the episode, Klaus isn’t playing this game as well as he thinks he is.

Is there such a thing as going too far on "Game of Thrones"? Just ask the charred toddler hanging on the walls of Winterfell — he'll have an answer, I'm sure.
Season two has already seen no fewer than four of its currently aired seven episodes conclude with the death of a child in increasingly brutal fashion. And "A Man Without Honor" — the 17th hour of the series — was perhaps the cruelest of the bunch, thanks to Theon Greyjoy. Not quite the boy-monster that Joffrey is, Theon is definitely giving him competition for the show's Most Loathsome Villain award. Even though the golden-haired demon child sat out of this week's outing entirely (ironic, given the title of the episode), Joffrey's presence hung heavily through Sansa and Cersei,...

Tinsel Corey, who plays Emily Young in "Twilight: Breaking Dawn," recently talked with Shape about her diet and fitness routine. The actress founded Wolf Girl Boot Camp, a Twitter support club (@WolfGirlBC) that allows her to inspire girls to live healthy lifestyles.
Corey advises readers to make healthy choices convenient. "Cut up a bunch of veggies the night before so it's easier to have healthy snacks the next day," she said. "You won't be tempted to grab those M&Ms." She also ensures her favorite vegetables are in the fridge at all times.

Tinsel Korey recently sat down with Daemon’s Movies to talk about The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. Tinsel covers quite a bit of ground in the interview, but really gets into how she approaches Emily, and how that’s changed since the very first time she played her. Read it all after the jump:
It’s rare in this industry to work on the same character over several movies. How would you say that you approach her now compared to how you approached her in the beginning?
Tinsel Korey: I think the main difference between Emily and I is that she’s very maternal, and I don’t really think that I’m that much of a maternal person. So, I’ve developed that skill sort of as I’ve played her because that’s what she does.
Like, her job is to make sure that the boys are okay, that they’re in line, that they’re fed. So, apparently I’m a little bit of a method actor, and so I’ve been kind of taking on that role. The boys kind of act a little rambunctious and I’m like, ‘Hey, tone it down.’ I make sure that they’re fed, and so I’ve definitely developed that maternal instinct and sort of guarded after them. If anyone says anything bad about them I’m kind of, like, momma wolf and step right in there. So, it was good to sort of develop that quality and bring that side out of myself.
Then also the other thing that I loved about Emily is that when I first went into ‘New Moon’ it was about the scar. I kind of thought that maybe she was, like, hiding it and Chris Weitz and I talked about it and he said, ‘Emily is just proud and beautiful, and nothing that can physically be done to her sort of affects her beauty.’ So, that to me, as a female a lot of times we’re put under a microscope and knit pick at little things, and so putting that vanity aside and bring up that inner beauty, I definitely have grown from playing Emily, for sure.
That approach and attitude can translate in real life with young fans who look up to you since that’s a positive message.
Tinsel Korey: Absolutely. I started with Wolf Girl Boot Camp tumblr. It’s kind of a private account right now and has three hundred followers. People have been writing me what they’ve been eating, and it’s not about getting skinny or anything. It’s really about getting healthy and finding your sort of inner goddess. So, I tweet them back and they let me know how they’re doing and it’s kind of a support system. I’m sure that I had in me before, but it definitely got pushed out by playing this character.

After announcing that he would end his talk show's run on CNN, Larry King got some advice from a talk show host who knows a thing about leaving programs behind. I don't know if Conan O'Brien's circumstances are comparable to King's, but his insight was good for a laugh.
