Populist: Items of interest this week

Lego Jurassic World
Lego Jurassic World

Jurassic larks

If you’ve ever wondered what Jeff Goldblum would look like made of Lego, try this Jurassic World video game trailer.

Lorde sugar

After being merked by disempower-couple Natalia Kills and Willy Moon, NZ X Factor contestant Joe Irvine received a supportive basket of cupcakes from Lorde. Aw.

Vorhees a jolly good fellow

US channel CW is interested in developing Friday The 13th for TV. Apparently the series will imagine Jason in “a more grounded reality”. Expect to see him in a sports shop, picking out his fave hockey mask.

Mama said knock you out

Run The Jewels continue to be the rappers you don’t mess with: performing at SXSW, they were interrupted by a man throwing punches and pushed him off stage.

Just sing it

In the campest thing you’ll see all week, The Rock has lip-synched Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off for LL Cool J’s new show Lip Sync Battle.

Diamonds are forever

Beyond gold and platinum records, there’s diamond, which is where Beastie Boys’ Licensed To Ill now finds itself, having now shifted 10m copies. Not bad for an album with the working title Don’t Be A Faggot.

The forecast is Yeezy

Kanye season continues with the news he’s to headline Glasto. The odds for how long his mid-set rant will last are imminent.

Heroes sum game

Not sure who asked for it, but Heroes now has a spin-off show in Heroes Reborn. Very, very few of the original cast are involved.
