Everyone, including Michelle Obama, Lady Gaga, and Stevie Wonder is paying tribute to Beyonce‘s 15 year career at the Billboard awards. Following the awards show, the 29 year old singer will be humanely euthanized, as putting female pop stars down before they reach 30 is generally thought of as the least cruel way the entertainment industry deals with women advancing more than 10 years beyond teenagerhood.

There’s a new trailer out for the final Harry Potter film that contains *sPoIlErS*. Here’s a spoiler alert- a book detailing the exact plot of the final Harry Potter movie came out like five years ago, and if you lazily didn’t read it but plan on seeing the movie, I hope you’re punished by having the end of the movie revealed to you before you watch it.

And Kevin Spacey is Keyser Soze. And Harry is forced to leave The Hendersons and return to the forest, from whence he came.) [HuffPo]
