There’s A Real-Life ‘Harry Potter’ Hotel And You Can Actually Stay In It

by 1 hour ago

Get ready, muggles — your tiny slice of Hogwarts heaven has become a reality thanks to the “Harry Potter“-inspired rooms (that you can stay in!!!) at The Georgian House Hotel.

You read that right: there’s a hotel in London with “Harry Potter”-themed rooms to transport you to Hogwarts without having to search for Platform 9 and 3/4! Who says magic isn’t real, right?

Outfitted with trunks, potion bottles, the occasional owl statue, some cauldrons, and spell books, the rooms will transport you right to Hogwarts with nary a wand or spell needed. Simply a way to pay the £249 a night fee.

That price goes up a bit if you tack on the full “Harry Potter” package, which includes a walking tour of some London landmarks for the film and a trip to the Warner Brothers Studio where “The Making of Harry Potter” tour takes place.

“I had heard that the ‘Harry Potter’ studio tour was the most popular attraction in London, and the fact the bus left from Victoria station meant we were in the perfect location for attracting tourists who had come to see the studio,” explained Georgian House partner Serena von der Heyde to The Independent.

Accio all of my dollars! And then just give them directly to The Georgian House.

Too much exuberance for one person. Follow her on Twitter @alicialutes.

Nicki Minaj Sports A Young Money Dominatrix Body Suit In The ‘Only’ Artwork

by 3 mins ago

By Andres Tardio

When Nicki Minaj reveals the cover art for a single, we pay attention. So you can’t blame us for taking note of the artwork for “Only,” a single that features Drake, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown.

The cover was unveiled Sunday (October 26) on Nicki’s Instagram page and it features an artistic rendition of Weezy, Drizzy and Nicki. Wayne’s dressed in a suit and tie, Nicki’s sporting a form-hugging Young Money dominatrix body suit and Drake’s dressed like a Catholic figure of some sort with the YM emblem on what looks like a Pope’s hat and we’re not sure exactly why.

We’ll have to wait until Tuesday to get the track, but with a line-up like that, we’re sure it won’t disappoint.

Nicki made us rejoice earlier this year when she released the cover for “Anaconda.” Then she followed that up by delivering one of the year’s biggest singles and music videos.

The song is also newsworthy because it marks a peaceful collaboration between Chris Brown and Drake. Brown and Drizzy famously made up after feuding and we’re happy to see they could work together after their now infamous brawl in a nightclub.

Beyond this, “Only” is also set to offer another glimpse into Nicki’s upcoming album The Pinkprint, which is scheduled to be released November 24.

There’s A New Poster And A New Title For ‘Fast And Furious 7′

by 15 mins ago

An official poster, official synopsis, and official name change: all things that are — wait for it — officially official about the latest “Fast and Furious” installment. Ladies and gentlemen: get your engines revved for “Furious 7.”

With the original crew back together and a fitting send-off for Paul Walker, who died during the filming of “Furious 7,” James Wan’s latest feature has been making headlines for months. But now we’ve all got something meaty to sink our teeth into when it comes to the film’s details. Not only has the film’s new title been released, but so has an official synopsis for the cinematic doings of this mega-franchise.

“Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of ‘Furious 7.’ James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black. They are joined by international action stars new to the franchise including Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Ronda Rousey and Kurt Russell. Neal H. Moritz, Vin Diesel and Michael Fottrell return to produce the film written by Chris Morgan.”

But the real exciting part? The new poster, duh! We are living in a visual age, after all, so what better way to celebrate the film’s new title than with a shiny new image, eh?

According to ComingSoon.Net, the ...

Deadmau5 Is Upset That Paris Hilton Has Become A Successful DJ

by 21 mins ago

Who would have thought that celebutante Paris Hilton‘s phoenix-like rise from the ashes of famedom would include lucrative DJing gigs?

And yet, that’s exactly how Paris has made a name for herself the last two years, stunning EDM fans and selling out clubs across the globe. She currently has a residency at Harrah’s in Atlantic City and frequently plays clubs in Ibiza, Shanghai and Dubai.

“I’m very proud. I’ve worked hard. I love music. It’s my passion,” she told Page Six.

However, her quick rise as a top-selling (and lucratively paid ) DJ has not come without a few haters. Masked brostep producer deadmau5 blasted Paris on his blog, saying her enthusiasm for EDM does not mean she actually has talent.

“So Paris makes a billion dollars playing a CD at a club. That’s great. How is this news again?” Deadmau5 began.

It appears to be some news though as Deadmau5 then wrote a long, passionate post comparing Paris’ rise to his enthusiasm for the Indy500 – it’s alright to be a fan, but it’s not alright to “pretend” to be an ...

Party In A Mansion With Rick Ross And R. Kelly For The ‘Keep Doin’ That’ Video

by 40 mins ago

By Andres Tardio

We already knew the Rick Ross and R. Kelly combination was sure to bring us the extravagance they’ve both become synonymous with and the music video for “Keep Doin’ That (Rich B—-)” delivers just that.

The Dre Films-directed video is set in an extraordinary mansion and there are plenty of women rockin’ bikinis as Ross and The R. rejoice in the splendor. DJ Khaled and Nipsey Hussle join in on the fun as models twerk under a storm of dollar bills at a pool party.

“She make it rain like a n—-,” Ross raps on the track. “We got mo’ money to get.”

Ross and R. Kelly don’t stop with the fun in the sun. As the night hits, the party continues. Jeezy and T.I., who helped Snowman and Rozay patch things up, are also in attendance as mink, champagne and tight dresses are in abundance around the MCs.

This is just another sign of what’s to come from Hood Billionaire, Rozay’s follow-up to Mastermind, which is scheduled to be released November 24.

‘The Walking Dead’ Is So Gross It’s Turning The Cast And Crew Vegetarian

by 2 mins ago

Norman Reedus is basically a vegetarian now, thanks to “The Walking Dead,” but he ain’t happy about it — nor is he the only one.

According to the actor — who explained that “I’ve become a vegetarian and I’m kind of bummed about it” — the series’ special effects are so disarmingly realistic when it comes to dismembered humans, zombie feeding frenzies, and the like, that most of the cast and crew have stopped eating meat of all kinds, finding it just too unsavory given, well, the series they’re working on.

Naturally, this has meant the catering on-set has gone off meat for a bit, with the vast majority of it being meat-free altogether. According to an “off-camera source” who explained it to UK paper The Daily Star, “about 80%” of the food served during filming has nixed flesh from its ingredients list.

“After watching Walkers realistically look as though they are consuming bloody human flesh or seeing heads and other body parts sliced off,” explained the source, “no one was touching the red meat or even chicken that was on offer.”

And it’s not just the regulars who’ve been put-off by the realism of their grisy set-up. “Often, we’re talking about hundreds of people who need to be fed on a show that regularly uses an enormous number of extras all made-up to look so scary they’d put anyone off eating.”

“Who could possibly sit down to liver and onions or a kidney dish after slopping around ...

Are Hilary Duff And Mike Comrie Back Together? Sure Looks Like It In This Halloween Party Pic

by 8 mins ago

Is Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie’s friendly post-separation relationship a hint that the couple is trying to make amends? Or perhaps they’re just keeping things super-civil for the good of son Luca?

Talk of the former heated up when Duff and Comrie were spotted holding hands and smiling at the Casamigos Halloween Party Friday night in Los Angeles. They were also seen shopping for Halloween costumes and pumpkins with Luca on Saturday.

Hilary Duff and Mike ComrieGetty

Since their split in January, Duff and Comrie have been seen together regularly, both with and without their son. Duff told E! News back in May that they still have no idea what the future will hold.

“We love each other so much and we love spending time together…so when you see us out it’s not just for Luca, it’s because we make plans and we hang out and we don’t know what our future looks like right now but we’re both doing really good and just figuring out what makes us happy.”

We totally understand that grey area in a relationship where you need to work through issues separately while also re-evaluating your coupledom, and we applaud Duff and Comrie for maintaining a united front – and a healthy, ever-evolving love for one another – for the good of themselves and their child.

There’s obviously a reason why they haven’t filed divorce papers yet, and – whatever the end result – we applaud their thoughtful approach to ...

What Got Drake So Angry Last Night That He Stormed Into A Club And Threw Stacks Of Cash?

by 15 mins ago

By Andres Tardio

Drake may have spent his birthday doing the shmoney dance, but he spent last night doing the money drop.

Drizzy can be seen dropping stacks of cash in a video that was published by TMZ Sunday (October 26). The clip also shows Drake aggressively pushing his way through bouncers in order to storm into a nightclub.

Although Drake’s motivation for this is unclear, it’s been reported that he was upset because one of his OVO crew members was punched inside the club. Don’t mess with Drake’s friends. As we know from his verse on “Crew Love,” Drake won’t hesitate to drop money for his boys and if the rumors are true, he won’t hesitate to run inside a club like this, either.

Drake isn’t generally known for incidents involving violence, save for his infamous nightclub brawl with Chris Brown. Even then, cooler heads prevailed and the two patched things up in the end.

Before this incident, Drake was celebrating life and we were celebrating the release of new music as Drizzy dropped three new songs Saturday (October 25), including “Heat Of The Moment.” Everybody gets caught up sometimes.

One of the best parts of the whole video though is the people who abscond with the cash Drake dropped. You gotta do what you gotta do, right?

Of Course Bill Murray Introduced Londoners To American Football In A Bear Hat

by 28 mins ago

Just when we think Bill Murray cannot possibly out-Murray himself, he throws a bear hat on his head and gives the people of London a talkin’-to about football.

Don’t go changing, Bill. Don’t go changing at all.

When he’s not busy giving sage love advice and dropping in on rogue parties, the perma-king of all things chuckleworthy and unofficial ambassador of our hearts takes up side gigs, like being the face of American football in London. Which is exactly what he comedian got up to this weekend, introducing the Atlanta Falcons and the Detroit Lions to a crowd perhaps less familiar with their origins than folks living stateside.

The teams battled it out during a special match at Wembley Stadium early Sunday morning (October 26), and though American football in the UK seems counterintuitive, some brilliant person over at the NFL or FOX or something had the brilliant idea to put Murray into that all-encompassing introductory role — and let him do it his way. The Murray way. Which is to say, when he wasn’t introducing the backstory of these two particular teams, Murray spent his video time wisely: making bird calls.

We know it’s usually saved for the queen, Beyoncé, but we think she’d agree: Bill Murray’s lookin’ straight-up kookerifically ***FLAWLESS. I mean he definitely woke up like this, right?

Bill Murray is a gift to us all.

Everyone On ‘SNL’ Wanted To Show Jim Carrey Their Own Jim Carrey Impression

by 1 min ago

Jim Carrey‘s physical comedy is unbeatable, and with the upcoming release of “Dumb and Dumber To,” the sequel to the original 1994 hit, he’s back in the spotlight. Hosting this season’s Halloween episode on “Saturday Night Live,” Carrey set out to get a little spooky, do some celebrity impressions, and reunite his favorite movie characters. Here’s how the episode went down:

All In The Carrey Family

Carrey stars as himself at a family reunion, where his relatives and the “SNL” players get to show off their own Jim Carrey impressions. Taran Killam is up first, pulling off the signature facial moves and signature “Alrighty Then” line. Kyle Mooney, Beck Bennett, Vanessa Bayer, Bobby Moynihan and Jay Pharoah follow, giving nods to Carrey’s classic films “Ace Ventura,” “The Cable Guy” and “The Mask.” But it wouldn’t be complete without a cameo from Jeff Daniels, who comes on as “Uncle Lloyd” and makes the most annoying sound in the world.

Alright Alright Alright

The comedian pokes fun of Matthew McConaughey’s latest car commercials, pulling out his long drawl and contemplative thoughts. “Sometimes you have to take a step back to move forward. And I don’t mean go back and reminisce, or chase ghosts, I mean take a big step back. Like go from winning an Oscar to doing a car commercial.” Unrelated to the episode, but Kate Hudson also offered her own McConaughey impression recently, and it’s equally dead-on.

Carrey takes the stage for his monologue ...
