OK Go has done it again!
The band is known for their peppy, catchy songs, but even more than that, they're known for their innovative and completely unique music videos.
It all started when they decided to do a choreographed, single-take video on treadmills. The coordination in the video was so impressive that it went viral, and since then the band has been doing all kinds of eye-catching videos with practical effects.

You can take the Jersey boy out of the Shore, but you can't take the Shore out of the Jersey boy.

The charges are still pending, but Sorrentino is in police custody after the altercation, which took place in a tanning salon, surprising no one.

It just wouldn't be a season finale without a couple of good deaths, would it?
Here's what happened this week on the "Game of Thrones" season 4 finale, by location:
The Wall
We pick up where we left off, with Jon Snow heading out the gate to meet with Mance Rayder. When he arrives, Mance gives him the honorable treatment yet again, and even raises a toast to Ygritte and Grenn (and the giant who died, but hey, fair's fair).

First he was Khal Drogo. Then he was Conan. Now, he's DC's most recently cast superhero.
Former "Game of Thrones" star Jason Momoa has been cast in the upcoming "Superman vs. Batman" movie, according to reports. If the rumors are true, Momoa will take on the role of Aquaman, one of the main members of the Justice League.
This will mark the first time the famous DC Comics character will appear in a live-action movie; however, the role has been played before on The CW's "Smallville" by Alan Ritchson.

Some people never let fame change them. And then there's Naya Rivera.
A pre-fame photo of the "Glee" actress has appeared online, and the difference between the old Naya and the new Naya is almost shocking. Of course, much of the change can be attributed to having money to spend on make-up, hair and the personal stylists to use them with, but other differences can't.

Let's face it: Hollywood is pretty male-centric. In a world where we need the Bechdel Test to tell us whether a movie even has two female characters who talk to each other about something other than men, it's understandable that there would be many more father-son movies out there than father-daughter movies.
That doesn't mean there aren't still plenty of excellent films out there featuring a father-daughter relationship at the center (or slightly left of center, in the case of some of them).

Just in time for Father's Day, RJ Mitte, who played Walter White's loyal son on "Breaking Bad," makes a short video praising his fictional father for the extraordinary sacrifices he made for his family. If you're a "Breaking Bad" fan, you probably have an idea of just how tongue-in-cheek the tribute is.

This week's two new releases don't offer anything new, but they're still generating a little excitement, since they're both critically-praised follow ups to big hits. One of the two of them will certainly be a hit, at least for the week, and there's a good chance that they'll both perform satisfactorily.
