Lena Dunham's house is just as quirky as she is.
The 30-year-old actress and producer gave Vogue's "73 Questions" a short tour of her Los Angeles abode, and after one step inside, it's clear Dunham is right at home.

"We're a pretty poodle-y household," Dunham explained of her home's unique interior design by Paul Monroe, which features several dog figurines. The eccentric décor continues throughout the house -- pops of color line each doorway and window -- but is most clear in a room right off the foyer, themed "queer and feminist resistance and our important foremothers and forefathers."
The actress reveals more than just her personal style during the interview. She also opens up about her HBO show, Girls, spilling that "weirdly, Allison [Williams] is the most comfortable [filming sex scenes] and I'm kind of the least comfortable at the end of the day...

Is The Walking Dead season 6 finally letting Rick Grimes lighten up? Uneven episode The Next World suggests so...
This review contains spoilers.
6.10 The Next World
In last week's review of Teen Wolf, I complained briefly about how the show has taken a turn away from its roots as something of a horror comedy and gone to something more akin to a straight action horror show. When that show began, it actually had a pretty strong, pretty consistent vein of humour that it minded to great effect. Sometimes, there's only so much bad and evil and violence that a person can take without a little laugh to lighten the mood and release some of the tension. Good horror movies do this, usually with a cat scare or a comic relief character.
Traditionally, The Walking Dead hasn't had this kind of relaxation. You might get a few chuckles during...

You know you're in for a good hour of television when the first thing you hear is the opening guitar riff to Boston's "More Than a Feeling," and that was certainly the case on tonight's installment of "The Walking Dead." The episode was filled with inspired music cues – including a great Old 97's tune that scored Daryl and Rick's scavenging road trip – but that first scene really set the tone for the episode, and almost read to me like the beginning of a romantic comedy (leading man gets ready for his day to the strains of classic rock, banters with his children, teases his live-in girlfriend friend about toothpaste). Taking that lighthearted introduction into account, the episode's amorous ending really shouldn't have come as much of a shock.

Already this season, the survivors of The Walking Dead have endured a walker-dispersal debacle, a blitzkrieg by the Wolves, the fall of Alexandria, Glenn’s “death,” Deanna’s death and enough teen angst to make them feel like they were enrolled at West Beverly High. (Whew.)
But if you think their theme song for Season 6’s second half is gonna be “Things Can Only Get Better,” you’ve got another thing coming. Here’s why you should dread the series’ return (Feb. 14, 9/8c, AMC) as much as look forward to it…

While many eyes are peeled for the arrival of Negan in The Walking Dead Season 6's second half, another crucial new character from the comics will make his debut on the small screen: Paul Monroe. Referred to as "Jesus" by many, Monroe is an intriguing character to bring to life onscreen. Tom Payne, the actor who plays Jesus, recently described joining the show and also shared his thoughts on the pivotal part.
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Payne discussed whether or not he had watched The Walking Dead prior to playing Jesus, and also revealed his real life connection to Andrew Lincoln:
"I obviously knew about the show but had only previously seen the pilot. Andrew Lincoln and I had worked together previously and also shared the same American voice coach... Andy and I are actually both from the same place in England and it’s always nice to support your hometown talent!

Official set photos have revealed that Tom Payne will be playing the role of Paul Monroe, aka ‘Jesus’ in the upcoming sixth season of The Walking Dead.
Little is known about exactly when the actor will make his debut in the sixth season, which brings The Walking Dead back to screens on October 11th with an extended premiere episode, but the news does signify the addition of another major comic character to the show’s roster, which is definitely a good thing.

In the comics, Monroe is an interesting addition to the growing band of survivors. Despite being initially difficult to work out, he soon proves himself to be a natural survivor and is adept in hand-to-hand combat. His long hair and shaggy beard, along with helpful and selfless personality lead to him being dubbed ‘Jesus’ by fellow survivors.

Another new face is coming to "The Walking Dead" in season 6. British actor Tom Payne has joined the cast of the AMC zombie drama as a recurring character, with an option to return in season 7, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Spoilers ahead!
Payne ("Luck," "The Physician") will play Paul Monroe, aka Jesus (pronounced like the Biblical figure). In the comics, he is a resident of Alexandria who moved there from a place called Hilltop Colony. Paul is described as "a rare logical man and skilled adviser with a strong sense of morals and values who is well-adapted to the new world."
Paul becomes a key figure in the Alexandria group's fight against the brutish Saviors, led by the evil Negan. However, it's unclear if Negan will be introduced this season. Other signs have pointed to this season's villain being Gregory, who runs the Hilltop Colony.
"The Walking Dead" season 6 premieres October 11 on AMC.

One of the most beloved characters from Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic book series has now been cast in AMC's TV series adaptation.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tom Payne (Luck, The Physician) has been cast as Paul Monroe, aka Jesus (known as such due to his similar appearance to the biblical figure), in The Walking Dead. Payne will make his first appearance as the character sometime in season six.
For those unfamiliar with the comic book series, Jesus is revered by readers for many reasons [spoilers ahead]. Artist Charlie Adlard first brought Jesus to life in issue #91. A skilled hand-to-hand fighter and resourceful survivor, Jesus hearkens from the Hilltop Colony and helps maintain relationships between his home and other communities. Below, you can view an image of Jesus from the comics.

Welcome, Jesus! The Hollywood Reporter reports that Luck's Tom Payne has been cast as Paul Monroe, a character simply known as Jesus for the upcoming sixth season of The Walking Dead with an option for the seventh. In Robert Kirkman's comics, Jesus hails from another settlement called the Hilltop, consisting of about 200 people 20 miles from Alexandria, where we last left Rick Grimes and his crew. Like a merchant from Venice, he comes to them to establish a trade agreement, like a civilized society. Obviously things don't necessarily go according to plan! Things you should know about Jesus: He is a badass when it comes to hand-to-hand combat, he's pretty chill and level-headed, and he looks like, well, Jesus. He becomes an adviser in the Ricktatorship, but more important, Jesus's coming presages a bigger, badder baddie (the baddest??) to come. There is so much to fear.

Jesus walks. Well, more likely, runs. As fast as he can. That's right, The Walking Dead fans: Paul Monroe, aka "Jesus," will make his leap from the comics to the TV screen when the AMC hit returns for season six now that the network has found the right man for the role. E! News has confirmed that Luck actor Tom Payne will recur in the upcoming season. For those not in the know, Jesus first appeared in issue 91 of the comics as a former member of the Hilltop Colony. Openly gay, he eventually becomes a trusted adviser to Rick (played by Andrew Lincoln in the TV series) in Alexandria. And God knows Rick needs all of those he can get.

The Hollywood Reporter reveals that British actor Tom Payne has been cast as Jesus in the sixth season of The Walking Dead. The Luck alum will have a recurring role in the series, with the option to return in season seven next year (seeing as the character is still alive and kicking in the Image Comics series, chances are that he'll be back). Introduced in issue #91 of The Walking Dead, Paul Monroe hails from the Hilltop Colony and becomes a close friend and ally to Rick Grimes in the battle against Negan. The trade describes this version of the character as, "a rare logical man and skilled adviser with a strong sense of morals and values who is well-adapted to the new world." Whether we're going to see that villain this year remains to be seen, but we may be building to that happening in a future season (first the...

Entertainment Tonight has shared a new photo from the set of The Walking Dead's sixth season which appears to show an unknown actor as Jesus, a.k.a. Paul Monroe. The resemblence is uncanny, but there is of course that this is just a coincidence! I don't think so though, and for those of you who are unfamiliar with the character, The Walking Dead Wiki describes him as follows: Paul Monroe, more commonly known as "Jesus", is a main character first encountered in Issue 91 of The Walking Dead and is a survivor and resident who lived in a community called the Hilltop Colony which held almost two hundred other survivors. Paul now resides in the Alexandria Safe-Zone, but eventually was forced back to the Hilltop Colony. While initially mistrusted by Rick Grimes and his group, he eventually gains their respect as a valued comrade. He currently serves as one...

"The Walking Dead" Season 6 is on a mini filming break right now, but it'll be back in business on August 17 to shoot the second half of the 16-episode season, which premieres Sunday, October 11 on AMC. In the second half, we should visit at least one new location from the comic book: Hilltop Colony.
*Comic book and filming spoilers ahead*
In the second half of Season 5, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and company arrived in Alexandria, Virginia, which is the No. 1 location where the story should be based for a long time (although filming is still based in Georgia). But in the comic book, once Rick and company are in Alexandria, they start to learn about other communities in the area. They come across a guy named Paul Monroe, who has the nickname "Jesus" in part for his appearance. He's based at a large farming community called Hilltop Colony and the "Walking Dead...

With the immense success of AMC's "The Walking Dead," the cable network has recently announced its plans to release a spin-off series set within the parameters of the same universe. "Building on the success of the most popular show on television for adults 18-49 is literally a no-brainer," AMC president Charlie Collier explained in a press release. "We look forward to working with Robert, Gale and Dave again as we develop an entirely new story and cast of characters."
Apparently, said spin-off series will feature all new characters never before seen on either the TV series or within the pages of Kirkman's original comic book series—which means we won't be seeing Rick and the gang at all in this new show. However, what if the powers that be decide to focus the spin-off series on one of the comic book's supporting characters? Here are five...
