2. Jessica Alba’s emotional tribute to gun violence at the Teen Choice Awards will bring you to tears. While the Teen Choice Awards are primarily a celebration of all things fun and entertaining, last night’s awards took a heavy — and important — turn, as Jessica Alba and Ne-Yo were joined by the families of victims of gun violence for a powerful statement. “They are the brothers, sisters, daughters and family members of recent victims of gun violence,” Jessica said. With her stood the families of victims of Sandy Hook, San Bernardino, Orlando and more recent shooting tragedies, including Alton Sterling’s son, Cameron Sterling. “Tonight we stand together with these teens united in a call for peace and an end to this violence,” Alba said, crying. “Now more than ever we need to stop, feel and ask: What’s going on?” She then urged viewers to share humanizing photos of the families and share them using the hashtag #stoptheviolence.

Rowling that Harry Potter is truly over, we feel you, y’all.
