From Daenerys’ platinum tresses to Khal Drogo’s foxy eyeshadow, we’re obsessed with each Game of Thrones character’s signature look (so ripe for Comic Con costuming!). They seem so unique, but here’s the thing — outside the mythical borders of Westeros exist real-life people who look exactly like them. Exactly.
Which hottie from The Host is officially off the market? How did Ryan Gosling become a motorcycle maniac for The Place Beyond The Pines? And in sadder news, the cast of the Harry Potter films says goodbye to one of their own. All this in today’s First Dibs.
The Grammys are usually a night to dig deep into your wardrobe and bust out your very best for the cameras! Well, apparently some peeps didn’t get that part of the memo. While many A-listers strutted their stuff on the red carpet in their high fashion finery, there were folks who appeared to have lost a bet or something.
There are things we loved about 2012, there are things we hated about 2012 and there are things we were ready to hate about 2012, but later came to realize were actually awesome. There’s nothing like being pleasantly surprised by something in pop culture, so we thought we’d give credit where credit is due. Here is our Best of 2012 ..that we were totally prepared to be the worst.
She kissed a girl and she liked it, she kissed Russell Brand and she liked that, and now she’s kissing John Mayer and she seems to like that too! Yes, Katy Perry has a way of oozing seduction. That sounds like a euphemism for “hot as hell,” but it’s really not. It’s something more. It’s as if she has a way of putting moves on literally anyone (or sometimes anything) that crosses her path. It’s a gift! In honor of her 28th birthday, we’re going to take a look at 28 photos that prove she is trying to seduce the whole world. Yup, all of it. Trust us, the evidence is pretty convincing. And if she hasn’t reached her goal yet, she probably will soon with photos as hot as these!

On-again couple Katy Perry and John Mayer were spotted out and about in New York yesterday having lunch and dinner to celebrate Mayer’s 35th birthday. It seems like a happy enough occasion, and it was an absolutely gorgeous fall day in the city. So why were the pop and rock stars frowning in every single picture taken of them?
“My mouth is the Don King of my penis,” John Mayer once wrote on Twitter. We don’t totally know what it means, but it sounds vulgar and gives our brain the bad touch. And that, dear friends, is the general sensation we get when reading John Mayer quotes! They’re so confounding, we bet they even make Charlie Sheen scratch his head in bewilderment. Whether he’s describing his past sexual conquests, what it means to be a man, or even what it is that makes him so damn popular, Johnny has found ways of pissing people off left and right with his loose lips. Everyone remembers his infamous 2010 Rolling Stone profile, but the guitar hero has had a way with words much longer than that. He has since apologized for “those dumb interviews,”…but not for breaking Taylor Swift’s heart. John turns 35 years old today, and he’s been reasonably well behaved lately. With age comes wisdom, ehh? Or maybe he’s just hired a publicist. But in honor of his big day, let’s look back at a few of our personal favorite John Mayer quotes. Enjoy!

It’s no surprise to us that Taylor Swift covers the November “Hair Issue” of Glamour. We’d probably kill for her luscious blond waves, if such a deal could be made. Still, the singer looks surprised in the photo — though this time it’s not, her “Gosh! You picked me?” surprise face, it’s more, “Oh, you caught me! It’s a good thing I had my hair all done and this pretty gold dress on.” In all seriousness, she looks as awesome as ever — with her fave red lipstick matching her nails, belt and a random swath of tulle — and we want lessons in how to apply blush so perfectly. We also want lessons in playing coy the way she did with the interviewer.
When the Glamour writer brought up “Dear John” and her ex-boyfriend John Mayer’s comment to Rolling Stone that it was about him, she responded, “How presumptuous! I never disclose who my songs are about.” And apparently, she managed to shield herself from anything Mayer said to RS about feeling “humiliated” by the song. “No! I don’t want to know, I don’t want to know,” she said as his quote was about to be read to her. I know it wasn’t good, so I don’t want to know. I put a high priority on staying happy, and I know what I can’t handle. … It’s not that I’m this egomaniac and I don’t want to hear anything negative, because I do keep myself in check. But I’ve never developed that thick a skin.” Read more…
Ugh, Katy Perry and John Mayer, you know how to play us like a fiddle. Clearly you want us to know/think your love is continuing to blossom despite rumors of your break-up, as evidenced by your date at Little Door last night. How do we know your romantic evening was at least partially for our benefit? Luckily for you, we’re something of a celeb dating detective agency. We’re like Sherlock Holmes, but for secret A-list canoodling. We also rock a fierce deerstalker from time to time. Those never go out of style.
People’s Exhibit A: If John and Katy weren’t interested in letting any of us plebs know the details of their dating life, they would have done what all normal couples do: order in Chinese and watch Creep Show 2 on Netflix. In private. No paps would mean none of us normals would be the wiser, so it seems pretty obvious they wanted to be photographed together.
So much for summer lovin’. Katy Perry and John Mayer have already head towards splitsville, after just a couple of months (or is it weeks) of dating each other. What’s that we hear? Oh yeah … a swan song. When Us Weekly picked up on the story of Katy and John getting cozy at Soho House, it was around the last week of July. Which means they had been getting cozy for sometime before that. There’ve been lots of reports and photographs of them walking the road to coupledom after that, but it’s suddenly all come to a crashing halt. And we were just getting used to the idea of them being together. What can we say — life can be unfair. Of their split, a source has told People, ”They’ll end up as friends. They were honestly having fun. People made it out to be far more than it was.” But a report in UsMagazine is contradicting this amiable spin. A source is claiming that Katy’s actually taking their breakup not well, at all, saying, “She’s really upset about it,” with another source adding, “She is making it seem like it wasn’t serious with John, but she is hurt.” When the two got together another insider had revealed, “She doesn’t want to get her heart broken again, but she feels a real connection and wants to see where things go.” So what’s the real story here? Was it more serious than met the eye. If so, we’re sending out hugs and various tubs of ice-cream to Katy.
