Game Of Thrones actress Sibel Kekilli, who plays Tyrion Lannister’s mistress Shae on the show, used to star in a very different kind of movie. A transgender in Phoenix tries to solicit some action on Craiglist…from a horse. And “16 and Pregnant” star Farrah Abraham is delusional about her recent best selling video.

Spoilers through Season 4 of ‘Game of Thrones’ and the corresponding books follow.
Sunday night’s episode of Game of Thrones was one of the best yet in HBO’s fantasy drama.
I say this as both a viewer and a reader of the books by George R. R. Martin—as a consumer of these two very different stories.
As HBO’s adaptation once again proves, the books and the TV show are at best cousins, not mirror images.
The big, dramatic moment in tonight’s episode, The Mountain and the Viper, comes at its end—when the Prince of Dorne, Oberyn Martell, fights Gregor Clegane, the Hound’s older brother, in a trial by combat for the wrongly accused Tyrion Lannister.
We’ll get to that scene in a moment. What interested me most about this episode took place elsewhere, in the Vale .
As a reader of the books, the events that took place tonight between Sansa, Petyr Baelish, and the lords of the Vale were fascinating—moments I’ve been waiting to glimpse for nearly 15 years.
In the books, following Lysa Arryn’s death, we’re essentially left not knowing what happens to the elder Stark sister, let alone Littlefinger. We’re left with the worst possible cliff-hanger: an unresolved one.
In tonight’s episode, we see an entirely new side of Sansa Stark—one that I find both welcome and unsurprising. Sansa was always the idealist. She believed in valiant knights and fairy tale endings. She was a princess in her mind, and she was off to wed her handsome prince. It couldn’t last.
Joffrey was her first medicine. The boy king was a monster, and Sansa’s illusions were shattered one by one, as she looked on as first her father and then practically every other member of her family was killed (or presumed dead.) She could either break entirely or find strength somewhere. Enter Littlefinger, stage left.
Is it any wonder that she sees Petyr as an ally? Or that she’d look to the friend she knows rather than the strangers she doesn’t, as he puts it. Whether or not she trusts him (and she isn’t aware of his betrayal of her father) she can use him, just as he uses her. When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. Those words were lost on Ned, but his surviving children will need to memorize and live by them.
When Sansa later emerges, her red haired dyed black, it’s not to disguise who she is (she dyes her hair in the books for that reason) but as a symbol of some form of rebirth. Here we have a new Sansa entirely, black hair against a black, feathered dress. For the first time she appears queenly, regal…and dangerous.
I’m curious to see where she and Petyr end up.
Arya and the Hound also arrive at the Vale, finally, only to discover that Lysa Arryn is dead. This irony—that each time she reaches family, they end up dead—isn’t lost on Arya, who responds to the news with hysterical laughter. (Proving that even the briefest moments spent with this pair remain among the best in the show.)
I used to think game of thrones was a pretty good show. Then I read the 4 books and the show became a pale imitation of the reading experience. Reading the books totally ruined the show for me. One of the great reads of our time.
Everybody knows Sibel Kekilli, aka Dilara, is a little whore.
Apparently there are 5 others in Game of Thrones who have appeared in adult films.
As Jaime Lannister would say……..NICE.
he/she fuck you its male to female transgender say it all or dont say any thing there not he/she's
Hi. Never watched Game of Thrones, but it does sound like something I might like. As for the transgender woman; just because she is transgender doesnt make her weird. Her individual actions are weird. Most transwomen are just as ordinary as everyone else. That their gender and gender identity are polar opposites is something that is valid and something that they have to live with. Otherwise, they are just like everybody else.
1:41, I'm not going to tell you exactly where to find them, but I'm sure you know how. lol subscribing
Sibel hid her porn past when she was "discovered" for a real film in Germany. It wasn't until she recieved an award for her acting that her porn past was revealed and came back to haunt her. Her relationship with her parents was destroyed because they didn't raise her to be such a trashy slut. She may be doing well in her acting career but she will never forget the pain she caused her parents.
good comment about sibel i like her xxx videos a lot too because its not extreme or out of the ordinary just 2 people enjoying sex without the fake moaning from simi feel me valley,and now she has proven she's a pretty good actress in mainstream tv and film too
I don't get all these dislikes. Your video's nice.
with all these girls committing suicide after doing porn I am glad to see her gain such ravenous success with GOT she made her money, got a nose job and is living life good for her!
SO SHE IS A WHORE AFTER ALL! TYWIN IS ALWAYS RIGHT!
ASOIAF is not set on another planet. It's a reimagined earth according to Martin.
Read the books, the TV show sucks!!! you'll have more fun… but don't worry at the end, everybody dies in Westeros (in the Show they've already killed an important character in the upcoming 6th book!!! and it was in the 1st season!!!)… If Asha Greyjoy, not Yara, did assault Winterfel, to find Theon, and the Ironborn find him like Reek (rhymes with Freak, and Weak)… they had surely chopped his head off…
