The Game of Thrones Cast Rewatched Clips From Season 1, and Their Reactions Are TOO Good

In an incredibly adorable and hilarious turn of events, the Game of Thrones cast recently reunited to watch old clips of themselves from season one, and Kit Harington could barely keep it together. The reunion was hosted by Late Night's Conan O'Brien and featured notable cast favorites like Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, and Isaac Hempstead-Wright looking back on where it all began.

While Turner reminisced fondly over the start of her friendship with Williams, Harrington told his 20-something self to "f*ck off" when he saw himself with a (now unthinkable) clean-shaven face, and the difference is mesmerizing. The reunion video is part of a the Game of Thrones complete collection Blu-ray box set, which has yet to be released, and includes cute quotes from cast members like Turner saying, "Oh my gosh, I am in medieval times, it's not 2009 anymore!" If you're looking for some Game of Thrones nostalgia to put a smile on your face right now, though, check out the delightful two-minute clip here and prepare yourself for a wintry blast from the past.

Melissa McCarthy Is in Talks to Star as Ursula in Live-Action Remake of The Little Mermaid

Melissa McCarthy might be going under the sea.

The 48-year-old actress is in talks to star as Ursula in Disney’s live-action remake of The Little Mermaid. Variety first reported the news.

A rep for McCarthy did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Rob Marshall, who directed Mary Poppins Returns, is taking on directing duties. Songs from the original 1989 animated film will be included in the live-action film, as well as new songs from Alan Menken and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Miranda, who rose to fame with his Broadway hit In the Heights and Hamilton, is also a co-producer on the film.

The story centers on the mermaid Ariel who yearns to live among humans and finds her wish granted when she trades her voice for legs from the sea witch, Ursula.

The original animated film featured the voice of Jodi Benson as Ariel. The film earned $84 million at the U.S. box office and $233 million worldwide.

Disney has released a string of live-action films based on their animated classics, such as the recent Aladdin, Dumbo, The Jungle Book and Cinderella.

The studio will release The Lion King next month which stars Donald Glover as Simba and Beyoncé as Nala.

James Earl Jones reprises his role as Mufasa. Seth Rogen, Keegan-Michael Key, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Alfre Woodard and Billy Eichner also star.

The Lion King is in theaters July 19.

Cardi B's Signature 'Okurrr' Phrase Denied Trademark Registration by Government Officials

Cardi B won’t be making major “money moves” on her famous catchphrase after all.

Three months after applying to trademark “Okurrr” for merchandising purposes, the rapper, 26, was denied her request due to the fact that it was more common than she perhaps thought, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.

In the official papers, U.S. Patent and Trademark officials said that Cardi’s phrase was considered a “widely-used commonplace expression,” after learning that the Kardashian family and many of her fans had used “Okurrr” over the years.

Back in 2017, Khloé and Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner all used the phrase on several episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians Cardi’s fans also reportedly filed similar trademark applications before the rapper did, according to The Blast.

Additionally, USPT officials explained in the documents that Cardi’s famous saying “does not function as a trademark or service mark to indicate the source of applicant’s goods and/or services” and that it does not stand apart from other similar marks.

Cardi initially filed the application to trademark two versions of “Okurrr” — spelled with both 3 R’s and 2 R’s — on March 11.

The “I Like It” rapper had plans to plaster the phrase on paper goods, such as cups and posters. “Okurrr” was also expected to be featured on a clothing line that features pants, shirts, and hoodies, according to The Blast.

Last April, Cardi opened up about her use of the phrase on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

“It’s like a cold pigeon in New York City,” Cardi told Jimmy Fallon, making the sound. When asked to describe what the phrase is used for Cardi said, “It depends on the situation that you’re in. Like if somebody checks somebody it’s like ‘Okurrr.'”

Cardi also used the saying when she made a cameo during the Super Bowl LIII Pepsi commercial.

The 30-second commercial, which was, of course, titled “Okurrr” shows the “Bodak Yellow” rapper playfully reassuring diner customers that Pepsi is, in fact, okay to drink … though it takes them a bit to understand what sound she’s making.

Though Cardi and the Kardashians were both heavily associated with the phrase, neither originated it. It actually derives from RuPaul’s Drag Race season six contestant Laganja Estranja, who used it first on the show.

Estranja, 30, called out Kim Kardashian West for using the phrase after a fan suggested she make an “Okurrr” Kimoji. “YES GREAT IDEA! ADDING NOW!” Kardashian West, 38, wrote.

“POOR ME! Another one of my word candies has been stolen!!” Estranja wrote back on Twitter.

News of Cardi’s trademark denial comes amid the star’s legal battle over an alleged assault.

On Tuesday, Cardi made an appearance in Queens County Criminal Court after being indicted by a grand jury over a strip club brawl she was involved in last August.

The rapper is alleged to have ordered an assault on two bartenders, identified as Jade and Baddie G, at Angel’s Strip Club over her belief that Jade slept with Cardi’s husband, Offset (whom she shares daughter, Kulture, 11 months, with) — and the indictment was officially unsealed on Tuesday.

A police spokesperson previously told CNN that Cardi was allegedly “throwing chairs, bottles and hookahs in the club at 3 a.m.,” leaving both bartenders with injuries. NBC New York reported Cardi was caught on camera tossing an ice bucket at the women.

Cardi was initially only charged with two misdemeanor counts of assault and reckless endangerment, but — after rejecting a plea deal in April — now faces 12 charges, including two counts of felony attempted assault with intent to cause serious physical injury, as well as criminal solicitation, conspiracy and harassment for her part in the brawl, according to the indictment.

Ahead of Tuesday’s hearing, Cardi’s attorney, Jeff Kern, did not immediately return PEOPLE’s request for comment, though he previously told reporters he was “aware of no evidence that she caused anybody any harm on that night. We expect that the matter is going to be resolved expeditiously.”

According to the Associated Press, the rapper pleaded “not guilty” to the 12 charges and the next court date is set for September 9, but she is not required to appear.

Luke Perry's Daughter Sophie Opens Up About How She's Been After His Death: 'Doing the Best I Can'

Luke Perry‘s daughter Sophie is opening up about life after his death earlier this year.

Sophie, 19, is currently doing volunteer work in Malawi and hosted a Q&A session with her nearly 98,000 Instagram followers on Friday.

Several fans asked her questions about her dad, inquiring after how she has ben coping since he died suddenly after a suffering a stroke in March.

One fan said that her positive attitude has helped them through the loss of their own father.

“I lost my dad 7 months ago. I’m much older than you BUT I really look up to you,” the follower said. Sophie responded, “I’m so sorry for your loss. That means a lot to me. I’m dealing with it all the best I can, but I know it’s the hardest thing. I wish you all the strength in the world.”

Another fan asked if the cast of Riverdale, in which Luke starred as Archie Andrews’ (KJ Apa) dad Fred Andrews, has been supportive.

“Everybody, cast and crew, has been so supportive and amazing. I love those guys,” she answered. “I’m closer to some than others, but if I needed anything, I could go to any of them.”

Another follower simply asked how she was doing, saying that Sophie comes across as “so brave and strong.”

“I’m okay. Thanks for asking. How are you?” Sophie started her response. “I wouldn’t call myself particularly brave or strong, I’m just doing the best I can. I have all the support in the world and the best family in my corner which makes it a lot easier to be ‘brave.'”

Sophie added that all the press about her dad is something new to deal with, saying it’s difficult to see his picture everywhere.

“I think people forget or don’t realize that in my lifetime he wasn’t famous the way he was during the 90210 era. By the time I was old enough to understand all that, he wasn’t as in the spotlight as he is now,” she explained. “And I wasn’t at all public or looked at. So I’m seeing all that stuff for the first time. The shock of all that is new.”

Despite the ups and downs she is experiencing, Sophie was still able to make some jokes.

To a fan who asked if she watched Riverdale, she replied, “No… what is that???”

She then clarified she was kidding, but admitted that it’s “a little bit hard” for her to watch the popular CW drama right now.

Sophie honored her dad on Father’s Day earlier this month with a post to Instagram.

“I know this is comin at u a day late but Malawian internet really didn’t want to help me out so… it is Father’s Day, and dad I miss and love you dearly,” Sophie said in her post, which included a photo of herself with Luke and brother Jack. She continued her post with a shout-out for Jack’s 22nd birthday, which was one day after Father’s Day.

“To the brother that blows all others out of the water,” she added. “To the mentor who taught me to be brave. To the boy who I wrestled with on the trampoline. To the man who is everything I ever wanted to be. Happy birthday, you beautiful beaver boy. I wish I could be with you, now more than ever. But I’ll be there soon enough, to watch you kick major ass and have all your dreams, all the dreams I had for you, come true. Watch out though, I’ve been practicing my Canadian Destroyer…”

Jack has also opened up about how the family dealt with the loss of Luke.

“I think everybody’s just doing the best they can and kind of taking it day by day,” Jack told PEOPLE in May. “It was kind of wild because there was this private thing obviously for me and family, but, at the same time, the whole world was kind of involved.”

Jack added, “I’m proud to know that my dad touched so many people in a really positive way and made them feel better.”
