Bran Stark Will Be All Grown Up (And Very Powerful) In Season 6
Bran Stark is coming back to "Game of Thrones" -- quite literally in a big way.
The second-youngest of the Stark children was off-screen for the entirety of Season 5. But he wasn't inactive. While his older sisters Arya and Sansa were training with the Faceless Men and Littlefinger, respectively, the Three-Eyed Raven was teaching him how to be a "greenseer" in a cave north of the Wall.
Entertainment Weekly confirmed this week that Bran will be returning to the show in Season 6, which debuts this spring. The magazine also revealed a first glimpse of the new Bran. He looks very different than he did before -- taller and leaner, with shorter hair. Which makes sense, given that Isaac Hempstead-Wright, the actor who plays him, is 16 years old.
In a separate article in Entertainment Weekly, Hempstead-Wright also provided some tantalizing clues about what Bran will be doing in Season 6. As many suspected, he's going to use his powers to look into the past and future of the world of the show.
“Now we’re given looks into very important events in the past, present and future of this world and Bran is beginning to piece them together like a detective, almost as if he’s watching the show," Hempstead-Wright said. "Equally, he’s now discovering how crucial he could be in the Great War. It’s quite 'Inception'-y."
The comparison to "Inception" is confusing. There was no time travel in Christopher Nolan's movie. The characters were exploring dreams. So it's possible that Hempstead-Wright misunderstood or misremembered the movie.
But let's give him the benefit of the doubt for a moment. Maybe he's referring to the process that gives "Inception" its name -- by which the lead characters implant new thoughts into dreamers' minds. If that's the case, perhaps Bran will travel back in time and deliver a message to past people in order to change the course of history. There's already been speculation that he does something like that in a sample chapter from the upcoming Winds of Winter. And it would certainly be a way for him to play a "crucial" role in the Great War.

North West Sends Her First Tweet And We're Sure Kim K Is Happy About It
Once upon a time, Kim Kardashian told her Instagram followers that North West, her little 2-year-old, posted a hot photo of her mother by accident.
While we naturally assumed that North was a social media superstar-in-training, the Internet was a little skeptical that North was such a prodigy.
"No one believed me, but I swear North posted this -- she's always following and unfollowing people on Twitter!" said Kardashian a few weeks ago. "I deleted it and then put it back up because why not, haha!!!"
Over the weekend, North was up to her phone antics once again, posting her first tweet that we genuinely believe she wrote herself:
It took Kim a few hours, but she later realized her daughter sent out a tweet to her 37.8 million followers:
For the record, North's tweet has more retweets and favorites than her mom's.
Somewhere, Kanye is probably giving his little daughter this speech: "Yo North, I’m really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but Kim is one of the best tweeters of all time..."

Mary-Kate Olsen Reportedly Marries Olivier Sarkozy In Private New York Ceremony
What little girl doesn't dream of hosting a wedding where guests have the opportunity to hasten their death?
Former child star-turned-fashion designer Mary-Kate Olsen reportedly married Olivier Sarkozy in a private ceremony in Manhattan on Friday, multiple outlets report. According to Us Weekly, it was a "small and lovely" outdoor affair where the couple said their vows in front of 50 people, including their parents.
But the real party apparently started once things moved inside. A source told Page Six that the event decor included "bowls and bowls filled with cigarettes, and everyone smoked the whole night,” which sounds like nothing if not an Olsen wedding. And, if true, that's all you really need to know, right?
Olsen, 29, and Sarkozy, 46 became engaged in February 2014 after dating for two years. Sarkozy, who is brother to former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, reportedly popped the question with a 4-carat vintage diamond ring, purchased at a Sotheby's auction for more than $80,000 -- a surprisingly economical purchase considering the couple bought a five-bedroom townhouse for a reported $13.5 million in Turtle Bay Gardens in Manhattan's midtown area last year.
This is Olsen’s first marriage, while Sarkozy was married to children’s book author and freelance fashion writer Charlotte Bernard, with whom he has two children, from 1997 to 2011.
Congrats to the happy couple!
