2. Do NOT play Pokemon GO at a Beyonce show. Trust me.
3. Speaking of which, this AR version of the game has now made it to music videos.
4. This fan was arrested for hitting Justin Bieber. Insert your own snarky comment [here].

6. Jimmy Page finally breaks his silence over the whole “Stairway to Heaven” plagiarism trial situation.
