介绍:
'Game of Thrones' draws 7.1 million viewers for blood-filled finale
The finale of the fourth season of HBO's "Game of Thrones" has drawn over 7 million viewers, compared to 5.4 million for last season's finale.
Titled "The Children", the episode was full of blood and death, but also fate-changing decisions from the characters.
HBO says a gross of more than 9 million viewers watched the episode via different channels.
The show has surpassed "The Sopranos" to become HBO's most popular series ever.
"Game of Thrones" is a medieval epic based on best-selling books by George R.R. Martin.
The show was first aired in 2011.
"Tiny Times" holds press conference in Shanghai
The director and actors of "Tiny Times 3" have gathered in Shanghai to promote their latest movie.
The music video for the movie's theme song was released at the conference.
The song, named "Wan Hua Tong", was sang by pop star Jolin Tsai.
The video includes many scenes from the movie. It should have been the focus of the event but it seems the media was more interested in gossip regarding the actors.
Kai Ko was asked about his recent break up with singer Elva Hsiao, but the actor remained silent.
Guo Jingming, the director, tried to steer the reporters back on subject but it seems Guo's relationship with author Han Han was another distraction.
Han Han also directed a movie this year. It will be released just a week after Guo's.
When asked about Han Han's movie, Guo Jingming answered "I'm not familiar with him".
"Tiny Times" is adapted from Guo Jingming's best-selling books of same name.
The books depict four girls who are friends since high school defending their friendship after entering society.
The first two installments of the movie were released last summer, but received much criticism.
"Tiny Times 3" will open in Chinese theatres July 17.
China and Africa work together to promote media
China is to increase media cooperation with Africa.
Dozens of media ministers from Africa have met here in Beijing.
Cai Fuchao, the director of the State General Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television says western media still dominates the world but China and Africa could soon have a greater impact:
"We believe that as long as media in China and Africa can treat each other with sincerity and equality, enhance trust and development, deepen cooperation, coordinate and support each other in the international spread of public opinion under the principle of fairness and justice, there will be a huge impact on the world pattern of public opinion."
Among the 19 cooperation agreements signed during the forum, Chinese TV programs have been authorized in Mali and Sudan, among others.
Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Ming says the relatively weak position of China and African countries in terms of world media means they are often misrepresented.
Kacey Musgraves and Katy Perry to tour together this summer
Grammy-winning country singer Kacey Musgraves and Katy Perry have teamed up for the 50th episode of "CMT Crossroads".
The show combined the artists' catchy songs and their shared love of neon landscapes and sparkly outfits.
Musgraves says she is a big fan of Katy Perry.
The two stars will reunite in August when Musgraves opens for part of Perry's Prismatic World Tour.
Musgraves had a breakthrough year in 2013 with her debut album, "Same Trailer Different Park," which racked up numerous nominations and awards.
She's also opened doors in country music with her social commentary on songs like "Follow Your Arrow".
But Musgraves says she doesn't think of herself as a progressive country singer.
"Progressive is OK. I just think, the things I sing about aren't necessarily that progressive, especially in this day and age. I just would love to see a time in music where everyone is included in all different kinds, all different kinds of ideas and loves. So that's why I am kinda like, 'OK, I don't really think I am progressive,' I just maybe think equal."
The two will appear together on August 10 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Justin Bieber cleared of attempted robbery
Police have cleared pop star Justin Bieber of wrongdoing in a robbery case.
The Los Angeles City Attorney's Office says there is not enough evidence to back up claims against the singer.
Bieber was accused of trying to take a woman's mobile phone in May, after she was suspected of taking photos of him.
