Kate Middleton and Prince William recently released six beautiful photos from their family ski vacation with Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

PETA U.K., however, was not pleased to see Duchess Catherine wearing a pair of Restelli Guanti gloves lined with possum fur. "If the gloves are indeed made of real fur, we'll be contacting Kate, who we imagine is unaware that possums killed for their fur are often caught in bone-crushing steel-jaw traps,' Mimi Bekhechi, the director of PETA U.K., told E!

We start with Welcome to the Punch and work our way through The Walking Dead and onto his future projects including his potential return to directing.
HeyUGuys: What can you tell us about Welcome to the Punch and what it was like to shoot it?
David Morrissey: My character is a police commissioner who’s main man is James McAvoy’s character who has been hurt in the line of duty and against everyone’s advise the commissioner wants to bring him back to the force. It all kind...
