Celeb: Emilia Clarke shows Strictly how it’s done, Sophie Turner’s new project heats up

In today’s celebrity roundup, Emilia Clarke gets her Strictly Come Dancing on, Maisie Williams continues her Dolphin odyssey and Turner’s new project heats up.
For those of you who are not based in the US, it might come as a surprise to hear there’s a new Game of Thrones controversy happening over in the UK. It involves Craig Revel Horwood, one of the foursome of judges on the BBC fall staple Strictly Come Dancing. (Over here, we know it as Dancing With the Stars.) Apparently, in trying to be funny on the panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats, he said the following about watching Game of Thrones:
"No, I persevered for the first series until the dragon came on and that’s when I switched off. I liked all the sex scenes and the rape and I liked the cleavers through the skulls and I liked all of that, but I got very bored in the end."
Well, that went over like a ton of lead bricks, with people demanding he be sacked from Strictly, despite the lack of anyone to take his place in the all-important “how to say the world ‘darling’ as a three syllable word” department. He has of course, apologized.
By utter coincidence, Emilia Clarke referenced Strictly Come Dancing on her Instagram account, vowing to show the program how it’s done.
I would certainly tune in to Strictly Come Dancing see the Mother of Dragons Paso Doble, wouldn’t you?
In other Instagram news, Maisie Williams is taking the high road regarding a group of leaked pics, and continues to protest marine shows for the Dolphin Project.
And finally, now PEOPLE is reporting on that new project Sophie Turner’s been in to this last month: a relationship with Joe Jonas. “They’re dating exclusively. He was playing the field, but he really likes her and is willing to settle down for her,” a source told the magazine.
Hooray on them, we guess. Here’s an Instagram.
And in actual projects, Sophie is concentrating on being the spokesperson—excuse me, ambassador—for MAC cosmetics.

That’s good. We’ve always known Sansa Stark could use a heroine.
