Game of Thrones: HBO takes extreme measure to stop piracy


No more early view of "Game of Thrones". In its latest effort to stop piracy, the pay cable channel has decided not to send press any episodes of the show's upcoming season 6 in advance, either on DVD or via online screening, which is contrary to industry convention.

"We're not sending out press copies this year, anywhere in the world," HBO programming president Michael Lombardo confirms this to EW. "There will be no copies for review."

Lombardo explains the move, "It's painful for Dan (Weiss) and David (Benioff) [when leaks happen]. When you have press copies, inevitably friends ask, 'Can I see your copy?' There are things that happen. We talked about the upsides and downsides. Some of the press are fans who might be disappointed, but they'll understand."

The hit medieval drama series has set record as the most pirated TV show for the past few years. Last year, the first four episodes of the fifth season were available for illegal download on piracy networks in full, a day before the season premiere on HBO.

"Game of Thrones" returns with the new season beginning April 24 on HBO.

Kris Jenner's infidelity destroyed my Dad- Khloe Kardashian


Khloe Kardashian will obviously say no to cheating. Kim Kardashian's sister said that becoming the eyewitness of what infidelity did to her late father Robert Kardahsian convinced her never to be unfaithful to her partner.

On the Wednesday, March 2 episode of "Kocktails with Khloe", the 31-year-old reality TV star talked about various topics, including her mother Kris Jenner's infidelity that destroyed her late father. "I saw how it destroyed my dad," Khloe recalled. "I saw what it it did to my dad so I don't want to do that. I also saw the regret from my mom."
Kris admitted in her 2011 memoir "Kris Jenner...And All Things Kardashian" that she was once being unfaithful during her marriage to Robert. She opened up that she ever had an affair with a producer when she was 30 years old.

Khloe's confession came after she accused her boyfriend James Harden of cheating on her. She said that the Houston Rockets player "wasn't committed" and she had "the receipts to prove it."

During the show, Khloe also talked about her marriage to Lamar Odom. She explained that her relationship with Lamar was good although she knew he was unfaithful.

"People can say whatever they want about Lamar, but our relationship was so unbelievable," Khloe stated. "The good outweighed the bad ... I still have only great things to say about him. But he also set the bar [high for future relationships]."
