The Mountain from 'Game of Thrones' Gets In a Spin With Washing Machine World Record
Hafthór “Thor” Björnsson sure is a busy man these days. Between massacring Shame nuns, selling his own brand of sparkling water, and popping eyeballs, The Mountain from #HBO's #GameofThrones continues to live up to his strongman credentials.

The Land Before Time: Kelly From 'Jurassic Park' Reveals How She Landed The Role 20 Years Later
Failing to live up to the dino-sized task of outshining its predecessor, The Lost World: Jurassic Park was the 1997 sequel to #StevenSpielberg's original romp around the park. While The Lost World is nowhere near as spat upon as Jurassic Park III, the magic of the first #JurassicPark film just wasn't quite there. Spielberg was back, while newcomers like Julianne Moore and Vince Vaughn joined a returning #JeffGoldblum. Again the unlikely hero of the piece, this time Dr. Ian Malcolm made it a family affair and had his daughter along for the ride.

A-Head Of The Game: 'The Walking Dead' Star Norman Reedus Owns Johnny Depp's Severed Head
Going home with the odd prop isn't too out of the ordinary, however if you are a star on AMC's #TheWalkingDead, your choices are usually limited to a rotten arm or a wire-wrapped baseball bat. In possibly the greatest take-home gift ever, series regular #NormanReedus has made off with the zombified head of #JohnnyDepp. No, this isn't from Pirates of the Caribbean 7: The Search For Depp's Career, it is a genuine prop from #RobertKirkman's zombie apocalypse.

The Sexism Is Out There: Gillian Anderson Slams All-Male Team For 'The X-Files'

With the latter going on to have a career resurgence thanks to roles in Hannibal and American Gods, as well as tipping herself to play James Bond, Anderson is one of Hollywood's leading ladies.
