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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Diplo is taking on baby daddy status … again!

The prolific, globetrotting DJ and producer is reportedly set to welcome his second child with Kathryn Lockhart, his former girlfriend. According to a report from the New York Daily News, Kathryn is due within the next couple of weeks and friends recently threw a baby shower for her.

Earlier this year, Diplo and Katy Perry were rumored to be dating. Although the two have offered no official confirmation of their relationship status, they were spotted cuddling up at Coachella, Jamaica, and Seth Meyers’ Emmy party. So far, there’s been no word from Katy on the matter.

Diplo himself has yet to comment on the news, aside from the fact that his current display name on Twitter is “Baby Daddy.” But in this day and age that’s practically a confirmation.

Diplo and his ex-sweetie already have one child together, 4-year-old Lockett. An insider spilled additional details, noting that although Diplo and Kathryn are not together, he is still active in Lockett’s life.

We imagine he’ll do the same for this new bundle of joy!

Kelly Clarkson paid tribute to Taylor Swift in the sweetest way! At her concert in Buffalo, New York last night (October 26), an event that was originally scheduled for the grand opening of the Microsoft store at Walden Galleria, Clarkson gave Swift’s “Shake It Off” a soulful, stripped-down vibe, before bursting into the peppiness of the original when it hit the chorus.

“I love that song!” Clarkson said. “Seriously, everyone gives Taylor such a hard time but she can write a hook—I’m just sayin’.”

For her part, Taylor was thrilled:

And she also continued her established routine of Instagramming some more lyrics from a specific song—but this choice seemed to carry extra weight. Just a day after Katy Perry’s 30th birthday, Tay Tay chose to share lyrics from “Bad Blood”—the song that’s rumored to be about her falling out with Katy.

At least Kelly and Taylor have their friendship established!

Sure, everybody loves the carefree vibes of Taylor Swift‘s debut 1989 single “Shake It Off,” but it’s the moody turbulence of her second single that really had people curious. “Out Of The Woods” is the song that most people have decided reference’s Taylor’s short-lived romance with One Direction‘s Harry Styles, and now Taylor has told us the slightly bizarre backstory that really pulled the song together.

It involves a ‘Gremlin voice’—something that only her songwriting partner Jack Antonoff could have known—which is why having him interview her in New York on Friday (October 24) was the best idea ever.

We didn’t know that a Gremlin was secretly inhabiting Swift’s gorgeous frame, but now it alllll makes sense. The age-old wisdom, the penchant for perfect, out-of-this-world phrases—it’s been actual magic all along.

A lot of you may have been confused when Lauren from “Faking It” revealed to her friends that she’s intersex on the MTV show of the same name. “What does that mean?” you may have wondered. Well, today is the day to find out. It’s Intersex Awareness Day, and there are tons of resources out there that can help you understand Lauren — as well as real-life people like her.

I don’t know about you all, but I was pretty surprised when Lauren — Amy’s prissy, closed-minded stepsister — made such a deep proclamation on the show, talking about how being born intersex has affected her life. Bailey De Young, who plays Lauren, teamed up with Emily Quinn, who is intersex, to create a PSA that ran later that night, explaining more about the condition. Quinn is consulting on the show and Lauren’s character, and also wrote an amazing story for MTV Act about what it’s like to be intersex.

According to intersex leadership group, Inter/Act, being intersex means that you were born with differences in your sexual characteristics — these differences can affect genes, chromosomes, genitalia, reproductive organs, hormones and also things like body hair and how much you sweat. Quinn has a condition called Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS), which means she has XY chromosomes and internal testes, but has developed as a woman. Like Lauren on “Faking It,” she doesn’t have a uterus or ovaries, however, and ...

Just like last Sunday’s leaked Drake song, another new track from Drizzy called “Heat Of The Moment” has appeared mysteriously on the internet. This time, the song is through the OVO rapper’s own Soundcloud, so hopefully it won’t disappear on us.

And instead of sounding like a Nothing Was The Same cast-off, it has a brand new, woozy vibe punctuated by the sensual lyrics.

After shmoney dancing his birthday away, it seems like Drizzy was inspired to get back to work by a lengthy phone conversation with an older, wiser man. His capstone piece of advice? “Use a f–king condom!” At this, Drake dissolves into laughter.

And of course, since it’s Drake, there’s a bedroom voice snippet from an unknown woman. The track was produced by 40, but there’s no word on whether it’s a one off or if it will be on his upcoming album Views From The 6.
