Game of Thrones actor John Stahl has died aged 68, his agent has confirmed.

The Scottish actor played the role of Richard Karstark in two seasons of the hit HBO fantasy epic.

Stahl’s character Richard Karstark in seasons two and three of Game of Thrones saw him take over the role from actor Steven Blount. Several of Stahl’s key scenes were shared with Richard Madden as the Houses of Karstark and Stark moved from being allies to sworn enemies.

Prior to his appearance in the show, Stahl was best known for playing Tom ‘Inverdarroch’ Kerr in the long-running Scottish soap opera Take the High Road. The actor appeared in the show from 1982 until the end of its run in 2003.

Kesha is getting her very own podcast, Kesha and the Creepies, premiering November 20th through the iHeartPodcast Network and available on all podcast platforms.

The interview-format show will feature Kesha chatting with guests about their supernatural experiences, the occult, unexplained mysteries, urban legends, psychedelic art, spirituality, astrology, and more. Alice Cooper will be her first conversation partner, with other guests slated to appear on the first season including Trippie Redd, Tyler Henry, and Whitney Cummings.

“I’m existentially pleased and molecularly stoked to be premiering my new podcast Kesha and the Creepies!

Kesha gave a glammed-out performance of T. Rex’s “Children of the Revolution” on The Tonight Show Tuesday night.

Decked out in a long sequined veil, gladiator skirt and silver body paint, Kesha put her own spin on Marc Bolan’s theatrical stage presence with the vocals to match. “Well, you can tear a plane in the falling rain/I drive a Rolls Royce ’cause it’s good for my voice/But you won’t fool the children of the revolution,” the singer belted.

Kesha’s “Children of the Revolution...

The 63rd Annual Grammy Awards are held in 2021, but the eligibility period for these kudos celebrating the best in music actually started on September 1, 2019, ending on August 31, 2020. So who will win Album of the Year?

This eligibility period is new for the Grammys. The recording academy moved up their calendar in 2020 in response to the Oscars, which moved their ceremony up to early February, which was when the Grammys usually aired. So the Grammys shifted their telecast to early January and adopted an eligibility calendar that ended a month earlier.

But that’s not the only change the Grammys have undergone in recent years. For the 61st annual event held in 2019, the academy expanded its top four general field categories from five nominees to eight in part as a response to criticisms over a lack of diversity among the nominees and winners.

Wrabel and Kesha have shared their new music video for “Since I Was Young,” a track off of Wrabel’s upcoming debut LP.

Directed by Michael Kessler, the video works within the confines of quarantine; Wrabel and Kesha strip down — literally and figuratively — in their separate homes, baring all their emotions for the camera.

Wrabel penned “Since I Was Young” in collaboration with Kesha and songwriter Stint, whom he calls two of his favorite collaborators he’s ever worked with. “I’ll never forget the day we wrote [the song],” he says.

As the world fights a pandemic, we reached out to some of our favorite artists with three questions about these unprecedented times. Here’s what Kesha, who released her latest album, High Road, in January, had to share via email.

What are you doing with your unexpected time at home?

I have been unpacking boxes that I literally haven’t seen since “Tik Tok” came out. When Animal first came out, I was living in a house up in Laurel Canyon with about 10 other people, and I left to play a couple of shows,...

New Orleans bounce legend Big Freedia teamed up with Kesha this past October for “Raising Hell,” the lead single from the pop star’s latest album High Road. Now, Kesha is returning the favor, hopping on Freedia’s new rowdy party track “Chasing Rainbows” and appearing in the music video released on Thursday.

Like many Big Freedia songs, “Chasing Rainbows” is all about getting down and dancing, with an added message of equality and self-acceptance. The video shows her and Kesha flying across the globe on rainbows to spread the love.

Lil Wayne’s 13th album, Funeral, debuted at Number One on the Rolling Stone Top 200 Albums chart for the week of January 31st through February 6th. The album racked up 138,000 album-equivalent units and 118.2 million streams, outpacing the debut from Compton rapper Roddy Richh, which fell to Number Two.

Eight songs from Funeral made the latest Rolling Stone Top 100 Songs chart, led by “I Do It,” a single featuring Big Sean and Lil Baby, which hit at Number Six thanks to 14.2 million streams. “Mahogany,” produced by Lil Wayne’s longtime collaborator Mannie Fresh,...

As music producer Dr. Luke?s $50 million defamation case against pop sensation Kesha moves closer to trial, a judge on Thursday has ruled in favor of Lukasz Gottwald, also known as Dr. Luke, in his dispute with Kesha.

According to reports, Kesha has been instructed to pay Dr. Luke $374,000 after suffering a major setback in the defamation case he filed against her.

The duo have been mixed up in a back-and-forth legal battle for the past six years.

In 2014, Kesha took legal action against Gottwald accusing him of sexual assault and emotional abuse. In return of which the music producer sued Kesha for defamation and breach of contract, claiming the songstress had falsely accused him of rape in an effort to nullify her recording contract.

Kesha alleged that Dr. Luke had drugged and raped her. She also claimed in...

Kesha released her anticipated new album High Road this past Friday, and she’s now shared a new music video for the title track.

“High Road,” directed and produced by Magic Seed, follows Kesha on grainy VHS film, taking a psychedelic journey through the desert, into an opulent resort and around an abandoned, graffiti-covered castle. “I’m taking the high road, I’m high as fuck/And these assholes, won’t shut up,” she sings over the bass-heavy song, produced by Jeff Bhasker and Skylar Mones.

High Road — featuring collaborations with Big Freedia,...

At the beginning of last decade, Kesha (formerly: Ke$ha) found herself at the top of the pop charts with her glitzy pop single, “TiK ToK.” Her song “TiK ToK” is still the best-selling single in digital history. Ten years later, Kesha is releasing brand new music. In fact, she just released her newest album High Road […]

Kesha did acoustic takes on new singles “Raising Hell” and “Resentment” for Vevo. The singer’s fourth album High Road will be released this Friday.

Kesha stays seated for both performances, flanked by two backup singers and a guitarist. For the raucous “Raising Hell,” she is also joined by a keyboardist as she joyfully belts out the empowering, upbeat song.

The tender country ballad “Resentment” becomes more emotional when stripped down to just vocals and guitar. Big Freedia appears on the original version of “Raising Hell” while Brian Wilson, Sturgill Simpson...

Sturgill Simpson released his bluesy hard rock album Sound and Fury this past September, accompanied by an anime film/visual album of the same name released on Netflix.

On Wednesday, the Kentucky artist shared a segment of the film featuring the song “A Good Look.” Like the rest of Sound and Fury, the Jumpei Mizusaki-directed clip is a Nsfw plethora of violence and nudity, but also features some of Simpson’s oddball humor and one very goofy dance sequence.

Simpson kicks off the North American leg of his joint A...

Kesha has dropped a swaggering ode to night life called “Tonight.” The song is the latest single off her upcoming album High Road, out January 31st.

The track opens as a torch ballad, complete with sparkling piano and Kesha’s booming vocals. “Tonight’s the best night of our lives,” she announces. “If we’re breathing.”

Barely a minute in, the song suddenly segues into a hip-hop breakdown and the scene changes to a dimly lit club. “Just found out me and Elton John have the same shoes, that’s a fact,...

Kesha just met one of her idols!

On Tuesday, the singer met Nicolas Cage for the first time while at a special screening of his new movie Color Out of Space in Los Angeles. The red carpet meet-up came months after Kesha, 32, had tweeted a cryptic message about the National Treasure actor.

In an Instagram post after the screening, the pop star shared a video of her and Cage meeting and sharing a hug on the red carpet before posing for pictures. For the occasion, Kesha wore a black Balenciaga jean jacket paired with jeans and white pumps, while Cage,...

Mary Riggans has died at the age of 78.

The actress was best known for playing Effie Macinnes in Stv's High Road and Suzie Sweet in CBeebies show Balamory.

Riggans died peacefully on Monday (December 2), holding her daughter's hand, a family statement read. She had suffered a stroke in 2012.

BBC Scotland executive and Balamory producer Yvonne Jennings told BBC News: "Like Suzie, Mary was a kind and giving woman who took on the role of nurturing young talent.

"She was an extremely professional actress with impeccable comedy timing. She'll be sadly missed by many."

Riggans also played Isa's best friend Sadie in Still Game between 2002 and 2007.

Alan Cumming has been signed to a new three year deal for The Good Wife, which probably bodes well for both his character and the show.

In what has to be more effective that mailing bars of soap to the network, Hoover has just pulled all their advertising from ABC – not just daytime – to protest the cancellation of All My Children and One Life To Live. Not that it will have any effect, but it’s a great gesture.

In all the news about Queerty going under, I almost skipped reading this post on the topic from Pam Spaulding. She’s having issues over at House Blend, and it seems the Righthaven law firm is a huge part of her problem.
