Celeb in 5: Sunday's best entertainment and gossip news.

Well holy hell, who would've thought Kim Kardashian's third baby shower would be an outrageously over-the-top affair?

Everyone. That would be... everyone.

The most famous woman in the world's third baby shower - Tea for three, she called it, because what's a party without a rhyme? - was literally just a convention of the most famous women in the world surrounded by pink cherry blossom trees. Like, an entire forest of them. We want in.

Joined by all her sisters, celebrity hair stylist Jen Atkin, Chrissy Teigen and Buro 24/7 founder Mira Duma, the party was so well documented on social media we probably didn't even have to go. We already had the full experience on our iPhones.

Also, while we're here, does all the pink point to Kim Kardashian expecting a girl?

We're landing on no. It's way too obvious for the PR queen of LA.

2. The Game of Thrones photo that's sparked a huge question.

Gird your loins, Game of Thrones fans, for your retinas may once again be treated to the deeply satisfying sight that is Khal Drogo and his braided ponytail.

‘But wait, wasn’t he smothered to death by Daenerys in Season 2?’

Well, yes. But this is Westeros, and we can’t let a little thing like mortality get in the way of a good plot line (Precedent: Jon Snow.)

Besides there’s concrete, real-life evidence to prove his resurrection could, maybe, possibly be a thing. Namely because actor Drogo actor Jason Momoa has recently been pictured hanging out with other members of the GoT cast (Kit Harington, a.k.a. Jon Snow, and Kirstofer Hivju a.k.a. Tormund Giantsbane) in a place where the show is filmed (Belfast).

N.B., “#getreadyhereicome”.

Of course, they could all just be mates catching up, reminiscing etc. But if that’s the case, they should really consider our feelings/level of investment before posting snaps like this to social media.

3. The Block's Elyse has landed her dream job modelling for Seafolly, and we'll buy all of it, please.

Tell you what, if there's a person we wouldn't mind trading places with at the moment it would be Elyse Knowles. The woman is certainly having her time in the sun and frankly, we back it.

Fresh off the back of a stellar performance on The Block, where her and partner Josh walked away with nearly $600,000, Knowles has announced she's shooting for Seafolly in a gig she says is a "dream".

"Pretty damn excited. Been a big dream of mine but dreams do come true. Work hard, play hard," she said on her Instagram story on Saturday.

We will, as Harry Potter once said, take the lot.

4. Taylor Swift has written an emotional letter to her fans.

Taylor Swift has penned a rather emotional letter to her fans, detailing the perils of living in the public eye and how much Kanye West is a snake.

Well, not really the last bit. But maybe.

The note was included in the physical copies of her new album Reputation that were sold at Target in the US.

"I've been in the public eye since I was 15 years old. On the beautiful, lovely side of that, I've been so lucky to make music for a living and look out into crowds of loving, vibrant people," she wrote.

"On the other side of the coin, my mistakes have been used against me, my heartbreaks have been used as entertainment, and my songwriting has been trivialised as 'oversharing'."

Swift when on to to tell her audience rather... dramatically... that we never quite know anyone properly. Lovely.

"Let me say it louder again, louder for those in the back ... We think we know someone, but the truth is that we only know the version of them they have chosen to show us.

"There will be no further explanation. There will just be reputation."

It is, of course, curiously linked to the themes of her album and what appears to be a deliberate ploy for headlines, but we'll allow it. Taylor Swift, much like her arch nemesis in Kim K, is also a PR queen.

And if nothing else, we'll celebrate that.

5. Gal Gadot is a boss, rumoured to refuse Wonder Woman 2 if Brett Ratner involved.

Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot may just be every bit the wonder woman indeed, rumoured to be refusing a sequel to the film lest accused rapist and film producer Brett Ratner is involved.

According to Page Six, Gal Gadot will not play the lead, or any role, in Wonder Woman 2 if Brett Ratner isn't cut from the production process entirely.

After Ratner was accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, Warner Brothers cut ties with him. However,  Ratner’s company RatPac-Dune Entertainment helped produce Wonder Woman, and he therefore could be entitled to cashflow upon a sequel.

As a source told Page Six:

"Brett made a lot of money from the success of Wonder Woman, thanks to his company having helped finance the first movie. Now Gadot is saying she won’t sign for the sequel unless Warner Bros. buys Brett out [of his financing deal] and gets rid of him."

All power to Gadot. Here's hoping she wins this round.
