    Comment of the Week: Fuss over fake George Bush head was overblown

    HBO

    According to the "Game of Thrones" creators, George Bush's head appears in several beheading scenes in season one.

    Our readers continue to contribute some funny, smart and incisive comments to our Today Entertainment Facebook page. Every Friday, we'll highlight those that really stood out. If you see a great comment throughout the week, click the “Like” button underneath it to draw it to our attention.

    On "'Game of Thrones' put Bush's head on a stake"
    Shannon Ford: "I applaud their recycling of heads, ha ha ha. I myself am not that creative when I remember to recycle. This is in poor taste but severed heads usually ARE. You guys SHOULD be upset by severed heads, but not JUST presidential severed heads, so your reaction is only half-correct. If you aren't upset by Ned's head ... does that make you a hypocrite? He was KINGS HAND. It's sort of like Vice President! Please stop reading into everything. Not everything has a hidden agenda, and it's not all a conspiracy.. Just good old capitalism at work."

    On ''Gone With the Wind' actress Ann Rutherford dies'
    Eric Lively: "So sorry about this. I met her one time and she was so sweet and nice and really enjoyed her fans. I'm glad I got to meet her. Olivia de Havillland is the only one left and Alicia Rhett who played India Wilkes as far as the grown up stars from the movie."

    On "The pop world needs Justin Bieber"
    Sharon Odom: "You know we all had our teen idols and we drove our parents crazy! We probably even promised not to vilify the young stars our kids would idolize one day. Well, here we are and what are we doing? The exact thing our parents did! My daughter is five and heaven only knows who she is going to go nuts over. I just hope I remember to let her have her fun and wear earplugs."

    On 'New and old 'Dallas' cast gears up for reboot'
    Carolyn King: "I wish it was on a channel I could see, not some TNT cable channel. I would be thrilled it came back. I hope it doesn't turn into the flop other shows brought back do so many times, like that 'Hawaii 5-0' prissy whiny boys junk. I want a GOOD new 'Dallas' as exciting as the old one, even though I can't see it!"

    Ann Rutherford in 1939's "Gone With the Wind."

    By Gael Fashingbauer Cooper, NBC News

    Actress Ann Rutherford, who played Carreen O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind" and Mickey Rooney's girlfriend Polly in the series of Andy Hardy movies, has died, the Los Angeles Times reports. The Times says she was 94, other sources say she was 91.

    Her role as Scarlett's youngest sister, the godly, optimistic Carreen (Caroline Irene), was a small one, but the movie became a classic and Rutherford one of the longest surviving cast members. She regularly attended festivals celebrating the film, the Times reports, once saying, "That 'nothing part' turned my golden years into platinum."

    Before "Gone With the Wind," she appeared in westerns and as Polly Benedict in the popular Andy Hardy film series, which ran from 1937 to 1958.

    Television viewers may remember her as the mother of Emily (Suzanne Pleshette) on "The Bob Newhart Show."

    Her first husband, David May II, was from the May Company department store family; her second, William Dozier, produced the Adam West 1960s "Batman" series.

    She is survived by a daughter and two grandsons.
