Hollywood tough guy and musician Steven Seagal played a weekend concert in the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, appearing on a stage adorned with the flag of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine.

J.K. Rowling published a new Harry Potter short story last month. And Daniel Radcliffe braced himself once again.

Two 20-something women with a gift for arts and crafts arrived at Miley Cyrus' homecoming concert with identical bedazzled shirts that read, "R.I.P. Hannah Montana."
