Dear Doctor

New Doctor Peter Capaldi's Who credentials have been reinforced by the emergence of a charmingly geeky fanzine letter from 1976.

You beauty

Parks And Rec's Nick Offerman is celebrating the exits of Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe from the cast. He's now "in the top-eight handsomest actors on the show".

The Force is waning

Not content with a new trilogy and animated series, Star Wars may well become a TV show on ABC, too.

Big Boither?

OutKast's Big Boi will make the next Celeb Big Brother borderline watchable, if the rumours that he's to join the new series are true.

Las ketchup

The new MGMT video is here, and features a skeleton choir, a singing dolphin and a Mexican guy covered in tomato sauce. The album will be bonkers, then.

Prim city

Pass the barf bag: the new trailer for Diablo Cody's directorial debut, Paradise, paints Las Vegas as a coming-of-age nirvana and stars Russell Brand as a do-gooder barman.

Machete don't tweet!

The first Machete film bombed so they've made the sequel really silly: it features an iPhone flick-knife, Sofía Vergara firing bullets from her boobs, some epic one-liners, and Mel Gibson.
