‘Harry Potter’ author J.K. Rowling has launched a mysterious new website, reports CTV.

The site, pottermore.com, offers nothing more than a signed message from the author saying “Coming soon…” and two owls on each side.

Spokeswoman Rebecca Salt confirmed that the site is indeed a new project for Rowling, but says it is “not a new book” and “not directly related” to the final movie, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2,” which comes out next month.

Salt says they “aren’t saying any more than that!”

Very mysterious indeed. Obviously, the site is somewhat related to ‘Harry Potter’ because of the owls and timely launch of the site. Why would she release it now, on the verge of the final film? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Well if you couldn’t tell already, Ricky Martin has come out and said he is gay (there is a shocker), according to TMZ.

The pop star has dodged questions about his sexuality for years but confirmed his sexual orientation via his website. “I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am.”

Martin explains that the birth of his sons made him come out. “To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids where [sic] born with.”

This is absolutely hilarious! MTV is reporting that on Monday an Iranian dissident hacked Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s website, and then posted a message addressed to God.

“Dear God, in 2009 you took my favorite singer — Michael Jackson, my favorite actress — Farrah Fawcett, my favorite actor — Patrick Swayze, my favorite voice — Neda [a reference to Neda Agha-Soltan, an Iranian who was killed during last year's protests of the country's presidential election],” the message read. “Please, please, don’t forget my favorite politician — Ahmadinejad, and my favorite dictator — [Iranian cleric Ali] Khamenei in the year 2010. Thank you.”

Unfortunately the website is currently offline so you can’t see this for yourself. The Internet continues to be heavily monitored by Iranian officials as they created an Internet ban during last year’s Iranian Presidential election.

Britney Spears and her infamous other half, husband K-Fed, have sent the entertainment world abuzz again.

Spears apparently posted a poem on her official web site, which alludes to her unhappiness in her marriage with Federline, according to MSNBC.com.

“No more chains/ That you gave me/ Enough of pain/ Manipulation is the key … They screw it in/ Because you?re na?ve/You come to me now/ Why do you bother?/ Remember the Bible/ The sins of the father/ What you do/ You pass down/ No wonder why/ I lost my crown/ You don?t see me now/ You ask yourself why my crown is back/ And it?s way too high/ For you to be in my presence/ Especially my son/ You should bow down/ I?ve only just begun,” the poem apparently said.

The posting was taken down shortly after it was posted and Spears’ publicist could not confirm that the entry was posted.
