J.K. Rowling to Release New Harry Potter Story on Halloween! Which Villain is the Author Bringing Back?!

It’s the time of year when folks like to scare one another for fun, but for millions of Harry Potter obsessives, nothing is more frightening than the prospect of waiting two years for the start of J.K. Rowling’s forthcoming spin-off series. But while the first film in the Rowling-penned Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them franchise won’t hit theaters until 2016, the beloved author is giving fans an unexpected treat this Halloween in the form of a short story based at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Back in July, Rowling brought Potter back in a fairly depressing short story that featured the Boy Who Lived as a balding, downtrodden man approaching middle-age. Her forthcoming tale reportedly won’t feature Harry himself, but will instead center upon a minor villain who’s name likely sends a shiver down the spines of millions of Potter-philes: Dolores Umbridge was first introduced in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as the latest in the long line of ill-fated Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers. While she’s not quite as vicious as He Who Must Not Be Named, Umbridge’s fondness for grotesque punishments (coupled with her toad-like appearance and love of the color pink) made her one of the most reviled characters in the Potter canon. Earlier this month, there were rumors that Rowling hinted at a new Harry Potter book on Twitter. That turned out not to be the case the case, so while the Umbridge story is certainly short (only about 2,000 words) it looks like for the time being, that’s the only way we’ll be able to return to Hogwarts.  Unless, of course, someone locates platform 9 3/4. Rowling’s newest story in the Potter universe will reportedly debut on the Pottermore website on October 31. 17 Terrible Children’s Movies You Loved 1. Space Jam Michael Jordan as Michael Jordan. Bugs Bunny as Bugs Bunny. Bill Murray as some old dude in space who loves basketball. WHAT?

Kim Kardashian: I Was OBSESSED With Johnny Depp!

We thought we knew everything there was to know about the life and times of Kim Kardashian. In the last few days, however, we’ve learned about her past, and dare we say – it’s all making us like her a lot more: First we saw video of Kim when she was 13 and acting a fool at her eighth grade graduation. It seems the revelation that she was as corny and annoying as the rest of us in her middle school years has only helped her reputation. Next, we learned that Kim cringes when she looks at photos from her doofy phase, a feeling most of us can certainly relate to. But Kim’s revelations of adolescent awkwardness didn’t end there. In the new issue of Marie Claire, Kim reveals that she had a teenage infatuation millions of women worldwide can relate to: “Kourtney and I actually shared a room at one point, growing up,” Kim said. “I loved Johnny Depp. I was obsessed with him.” “She was really into Leonardo DiCaprio, so we had cutouts of them on our wall next to our Michael Jackson posters.” Okay, is Kim running for office or something? What’s with all the relatable stories about how she was just a normal kid and wasn’t actually incredibly spoiled growing up. Earlier this week, Kim even said North West will have to get a job some day to buy the things she wants…just like Kim did. We don’t know if we totally buy that young Kim used to save her paychecks to buy posters of Johnny Depp, but at least she’s trying to come off as normal. She’s turning into the anti-Gwyneth Paltrow, and that’s something we can definitely get behind. Kim Kardashian Instagram Photos 1.

Taylor Swift Reacts to John Cleese Cat Diss: Excuse Me?!?

Taylor Swift is single, but the singer isn’t anxious to mingle. Not any time soon, at least, because she has two cats . She’s all set at the moment. Heck, Swift is rarely seen anywhere without Olivia Benson in her arms . So you can understand why she reacted in such shocked fashion during an appearance Friday on The Graham Norton Show, as comedian John Cleese dared to insult the beloved feline. John Cleese Insults Taylor Swift’s Cat! “Is that a proper cat? That’s the weirdest cat I’ve ever seen in my life,” Cleese remarked, saying it looked as if Olivia had an “accident” of some kind. Swift didn’t even know how to respond to Cleese’s diss, though the two did manage to patch things up as the conversation went… that is, until the inappropriate British actor decided to compare cats to women. Oops! Watch the full clip above and take a look below and just how much Taylor Swift loved her kittens. Taylor Swift and Cats: A Perfect Pairing 1. Taylor Swift and Olivia Benson Taylor and the newest addition to her cat family. Olivia is named for Mariska Hargitay’s character on Law & Order: SVU. Fortunately, Taylor has something else to distract her from this awkwardness at the moment: she’s been named the 2014 Billboard Woman of the Year ! Hooray! So well deserved.

Beyonce and Jay Z Take Blue Ivy to the Louvre, Pose For Mona Lisa Selfie

The adventures of the Carters in Paris continued over the weekend, as Beyonce posted a bunch of photos from their family trip to the Louvre. The vacation abroad has already given us some amusing highlights, such as Jay going off on a French paparazzo , but nothing can compare with the Jay-Bey Mona Lisa selfie: Beyonce, Jay Z, and Blue Ivy at the Louvre 1. Beyonce and Jay Z: Mona Lisa Selfie Jay and Bey at the Louvre. It doesn’t get much more baller than this. Because they’re in a race with Kim and Kanye to raise the world’s most cultured toddler, the Carters brought 2-year-old Blue Ivy with them. Naturally, Baby Blue was more interested in the floor vents than the art, but well…that’s what’s you get when you bring a 2-year-old to a museum. Hey, it’s still not as ridiculous as the time Kimye brought North West to a fashion show .  Jump into the gallery above to see Blue not even pretending to give a crap despite her parents’ best efforts to get her interested in art.  Frankly, we think Blue Ivy’s summer vacation looked way more fun. Memo to the Carters: When you’re 2, trampolines are cooler than art! Come to think of it, that might be true at any stage in life. The Mona Lisa’s cool and all, but we’re guessing people would get super pissed if you tried to bounce on it.  Blue Ivy Camping Photos! 1. Blue Ivy and Beyonce: Trampoline! Bey and Blue get their bounce on. The Carters may be ballers, but they know how to have fun the simple way, too.

Kanye West: Already Designing a Wedding Ring for North?!?

On many occasions, Kanye West has said he wants his daughter to live a normal life. Along those lines, a new report states that Kanye is designing a wedding ring for his one-year old child. What? That’s totally normal, isn’t it?

Lorraine Schwartz, the same designer who made  Kim Kardashian ’s 15-carat, $1.25 million engagement ring, is allegedly on board with this creation and West “doesn’t care” if the gift comes across as “a little extravagant,” an insider says. “He will be the first man to put a ring on his girl’s finger,” the source explains. “That little girl means everything to him and there’s not a limit on what she can have.” Sounds like North will grow up totally grounded and healthy! This report follows a rumor that North’s mother has hired a personal stylist and tailor for her child. “Her wardrobe is planned well in advance with regular meetings to discuss looks for the family’s public appearances, and North has versions to match a lot of what Kim wears, from dresses to handbags and shoes,” a source told Grazia magazine.
