访谈录 《哈利·波特》剧场版将登陆伦敦西区 J·K·罗琳强调不是前传

 Happy Friday. I’m Sara Haines and it’s time for some pop news, the top four stories buzzing online right now. 

 

Coming in at number four, Harry¹ Potter fans, you're about to feel like you'd taken Felix Felicis, which is liquid luck. Author J.K. Rowling has just opened the chamber² of secrets and announced a brand new play called “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”. The production will be an all new story conceived by Rowling and two collaborators. So far we know that it will not be a prequel, but it will tell an untold³ part of Harry story. And it will open in London of course in 2016. Rowling also answered questions about why she’d just do a play rather than a novel, telling fans that once they see the show, they'll agree it was the only way to tell the story and she can’t wait.

 

Coming in at number three, a move-over, Jay and Bey, you've just been usurped⁴ by Tay and Cal. In case that you don’t understand that, Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are the new title holders⁵ of highest-paid celebrity⁶ couples. Forbes says the high profile duo reaped in combined $146 million in the past year with several endorsement⁷ deals each along with their hugely successful music careers. Beyonce and Jay Z were far behind, making $110.5 million between them, not shabby. And in the reigning⁸ king and queen of country came in third Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, who together made $57 million. And my husband and I didn't make the list at all. 

 

Coming in at number two, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are more loved up in ever on their ninth wedding anniversary. I can’t believe it’d been nine years. The star couple sharing a candy video with their fans following Keith’s concert in Mount Pleasant, Michigan. 

 

“Everybody ha signs, wishing us happy anniversary. You have no idea how touching⁹ that is. I mean literally¹⁰, I was trying to hold tears back. It was so beautiful, they were everywhere.”

 

That is so sweet. The happy husband also added that he should return to Michigan every year for their anniversary. A big congrat to them and Michigan. 

 

Coming in at number one, we must warn you if you are sensitive to pawesome videos of a grisly nature, you may need to look away immediately, because a bruiser bear celebrating summer just like the rest of us. A 93 X splash in the pool lettuce¹¹ home at a wildly sanctuary¹² in Florida. Now the big dilemma¹³ of the day is is it still considered skinny dip in if you're wearing a fur coat and still totally bearing it at the same time. And it can’t help X people. 

 

Be sure to tune¹⁴ into GMA for more pop news tomorrow for ABC new. I'm Sara Haines in New York. Have a great day.
