During their panel at San Diego Comic-Con, HBO announced nine new cast members joining Game of Thrones for Season Five. They range from veteran actors to relative newbies.

Alexander Siddig (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine), newcomers Toby Sebastian and Nell Tiger Free, DeObia Oparei (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), Enzo Cilenti (Rome), Jessica Henwick (North by Northhamptonshire), Rosabell Laurenti Sellers (The Whistleblower), Academy nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes (Whale Rider) and the legendary Jonathan Pryce (Ronin) will play key roles in the upcoming season. Watch the video below to see what parts they’ll be taking on for GoT.

In addition to the big news, the show shared a blooper reel from Season 4. It’s so odd seeing the actors laugh and show their lighthearted sides given the dramatic nature of the series. Pedro Pascal who plays Prince Oberyn almost sets himself on fire. Check out all the hijinks and line flubbing from your favorites including Kit Harington below.

Currently Patrick is in Los Angeles enjoying the Crossfit Games. I thought I’d rotate one of his favorites from the sport today.

Alright, this week I’ve decided to highlight another athlete from CrossFit and actually a past winner of of the Reebok CrossFit Games, earning the title of Fittest Man On Earth in 2009. CrossFit is described as “constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement”. With what Salo does for a living, it couldn’t be more true. When he’s not doing CrossFit, Mikko Salo of Finland is actually a firefighter – which as you know is a very dangerous and physically demanding job.

Salo (33 yrs old) has been a CrossFit idol for many people since he dominated the 2009 Crossfit Games. He is competing again this year and may people believe he has the potential to claim the title once again. I’ve been doing CrossFit since January and it’s one of my favorite things in my life right now. What Salo is able to do is pretty freaking incredible. Aside from Salo’s impressive accomplishments, he’s a very handsome guy, obviously has a great body, and is overall very easy on the eyes.

I’ve included several photos below as well as a few videos of him in action. In fact, one of the videos is actually a documentary on him if you have the time to check it out. Enjoy!

RuPaul felt like dancing with La Toya Jackson earlier this year on a fun little duet. The 58-year-old entertainer is stepping out on her own with a kinda catchy club anthem.

“It feels good to be back in the music industry after so many years with a new dance single and video!” – La Toya via Huffington Post

“Feels Like Love” is Jackson’s first single since 2009′s “Home.” While never achieving the heights as her superstar siblings, Michael and Janet, La Toya has a few moderately-successful club tracks under her glittery belt. Her latest is surprisingly polished displaying some decent production. She could give Cher a run for her money as everyone’s favorite aging dance diva. Give “Feels Like Love” a listen below.
