Game of Thrones

Not gonna lie ... these pics from the Spain set of "Game of Thrones" this week are pretty cool -- but they reveal another MAJOR PLOT POINT about Season 7!!

That being said, you already loved the show when you knew what was in the books ... so, CLICK ON THE GALLERY ALREADY!!!

Not gonna give away who's in the photos before you click -- but it's a bloody fight with some major players.

**MAJOR "GAME OF THRONES" SPOILER ALERT**

Just in ... new photos fresh from the 'GOT' set in Spain and they appear to reveal a MAJOR plot point for season 7.

The pics contain shots of Jon Snow reaching out to shake hands with another major star of the series -- an alliance that could have a HUGE impact in Westeros.

So, you gotta ask yourself ... do you REALLY want to know who's on the other end of the shake?

Do you?

Last chance ...

Emilia Clarke is riding high after swooping in and buying a home in the super exclusive beachside community of Venice, CA.

The "Game of Thrones" star bought the modern 2 bed, 3 bath house in June for $4.64 mil -- about $300k more than asking price. Seems worth it ... it comes with a 30 foot pool, lush garden, super chill outdoor lounge area and more natural light than they get in Westeros.

Lena Headey says she won't be returning her son to L.A. anytime soon -- father's wishes be damned -- because the American education system sucks.

Headey's ex-husband, Peter Loughran, claims in new legal docs Lena agreed to return their 6-year-old son from the U.K. after she was done filming "Game of Thrones" ... but didn't.

Headey supposedly emailed Peter saying she was enrolling their son in a Yorkshire school because the kid was being held back by a subpar American school system.

Loughran insists the deadline for returning the kid was Sept. 5th, so she's brazenly violated their deal and his right to make decisions for his child. She begs to differ, saying he agreed the boy could live with her in England.

Loughran says he hasn't seen his kid in 8 weeks ... Headey hasn't even let them chat on the phone.

Jason Momoa hyped up "Game of Thrones" fans by hanging with the show's creators in Northern Ireland -- where they're about to roll on season 7 -- but it's not what you think.

Momoa captioned the pic with David Benioff and D.B. Weiss "ALOHA DROGO," and fans immediately speculated Khal Drogo was coming back from the dead.

The real story ... Jason just loves to party, and happened to be about an hour away from his bros. Our sources tell us he was in Dublin touring the Guinness Brewery, where they gave him his own custom "Mano Brew," 'cause ... look at the handsome bastard.

We're told Momoa's absolutely not filming NOW ... but never say never.

Michael Sam says he's moving on from his near street fight in West Hollywood -- telling TMZ Sports he's way more upset at the way "Game of Thrones" ended last season.

Another happy ending for "Game of Thrones" fans ... Hodor is alive and turns out he is to Comic-Con what Calvin Harris is to Las Vegas.

Hodor, whose real name is Kristian Nairn, popped up inside the DJ booth at the Nylon After-Con party Thursday night in San Diego and the crowd was feeling it.

If fans want to check him out in the future, Kristian goes by his real name when he's spinning. Check out the vid -- we suggest a new handle ... DJ Hodrop!

"Game of Thrones" fans get it.

Here's Hafpor Julius Bjornsson -- better known as "The Mountain" from "Game of Thrones" -- pulling a 17-TON BIG RIG in Iceland like it was a Tonka Truck.

Emilia Clarke plus nudity ... equals a 'GoT' bloodbath, according to the Khaleesi herself.

We caught up with the "Game of Thrones" star at LAX and, wait for it ... SPOILER ALERT!!

We asked Emilia about Sunday's gruesome episode which required her to strip down for the first time since season 3. She's been very outspoken about equal nekkid time for male and female stars of the show, so last night's episode was a big deal.

George RR Martin, the brain behind "Game of Thrones" is a New York Jets mega-fan and has a special retirement message for D'Brickashaw Ferguson.

Ferguson announced earlier this month he'll be hanging up his cleats ... and Martin calls the offensive tackle's ten years without missing a game "incredible."

Jack Gleeson -- aka King Joffrey from "Game of Thrones" -- resurfaced far beyond The Wall, at a cosplay conference in Abu Dhabi, acting like a shell of his former 'GoT' character.

No heads on spikes here ... just some good old fashioned Madonna-like "Vogue" and robot dance moves while Jack cut loose backstage with hot gamer chick Naomi Kyle.

Attention rich nerds: watch the premiere of "Game of Thrones" weeks before it airs while breathing the same air as Cersei and Margaery ... all for the bargain price of several THOUSAND dollars.

Luxury concierge sites are cashing in on the 'GoT' hype and hawking tickets to the season premiere and after-party at the famous TCL Chinese Theatre -- and they're charging up to $10k for a pair.

Surprisingly, there's not much bang for those bucks. We're told there's no guaranteed photo ops, autographs or even a good seat at the April 10th event. One slightly cheaper option -- CharityBuzz is auctioning off tix and current bids are right around $6k.

We're told 'GoT' die-hards always fork out the cash for this stuff since most would push their child out a tower window for a chance to schmooze with the cast.

Norman Reedus did not say for sure if Glen on "Walking Dead" is toast, but he sure hinted it was so.

We got Norman at LAX Saturday and our photog initially knew better than to ask straight up if Glen was dead. Instead he asked if Glen was like Jon Snow, who could actually still be alive in some form on "Game of Thrones."

Norman gives an interesting answer, and then our photog can't help but ask the question he initially resisted asking.

"Game of Thrones" fanatics now have the chance to own a one-of-a-kind Tyrion mask ... and the best part, it's been licked by Sansa.

Landon Meier, the mask's creator, tells TMZ he made the mask for Comic-Con and wore it there. Somehow the mask ended up at a party with a ton of 'GOT' actors.

To Landon's surprise, he woke up the next day to see a picture of Sophie Turner aka Sansa Stark giving the mask a licking. Landon says to this day the mask hasn't been washed and the facial hair where Sansa licked is still parted.

Meier has the mask up on eBay and he's asking for at least $5,500 ... current bidding is at $500.

"Game of Thrones" stars Emilia Clarke and Jason Momoa came together again in the last place you'd expect to see the Mother of Dragons and The Great Khal ... Fashion Week in Paris.

Clarke shared the joyous photo, writing, "Well I guess the sun rises in the west and sets in the east then huh? Paris fashion week just kicked off....! #Momoaloveforlifebaby #nomorebeerleftinparis #bestdresseddothraki."

George R. R. Martin got a big surprise -- or 2 -- on his 67th birthday.

Martin, whose birthday was Sunday, hit up the HBO Emmys after-party last night at the Pacific Design Center, where around the stroke of midnight his wife surprised him with a birthday cake, which we believe is an awesome berry cake from Sweet Lady Jane.

George already got his big gift earlier in the evening ... he won his first Emmy for "Game of Thrones" -- he's been nominated 5 times for the series as a co-executive producer for Outstanding Drama Series.
