Rosie Huntington-Whiteley leaves little to the imagination in a risqué new fragrance ad, donning nothing but an open Burberry trench coat with her legs strategically positioned as she lies on the floor of a studio.

Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin announced late Thursday that British actress Gwendoline Christie has landed the role of Brienne in HBO’s adaptation of the epic fantasy novel series.

“This was another one of those cases where there was hardly any debate,” Martin wrote. “The day the first batch of auditions went up for the role, we looked at a dozen actresses who were reading for Brienne and one actress who WAS Brienne. Gwendoline gave a great reading, and her look was just perfect.”

British actress Anna Massey, who starred in such films as Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom and Alfred Hitchcock’s Frenzy, died of cancer over the weekend with her husband and son by her side at the age of 73.

Singer-turned-fashion maven Lily Allen has added some more of her own styles to her boutique, Lucy in Disguise (a play on The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”). She previously revealed some original designs, which stayed true to the fun personal style she is known for, in 2007. Her Lily Loves line had six dresses and while not a full-fledged line, Allen’s use of bold, whimsical prints more than made up for the lack of quantity.
