Gutted!

In a fate worse than the time he carved that bloke into a human cello, Hannibal has been cancelled by NBC after three seasons, though it might get a reprieve online.

Sick, bro

Tyler, The Creator, who is a 24-year-old man, made a fan eat some vomit for £20 at a recent UK show.

Tease the day

The makers of Independence Day: Resurgence tried to stoke excitement with a video, showing, er, what the title will look like. It’s yet to go viral. Watch here, if you have nothing better to do.

Everything you always wanted to know about sexism…

Because Hollywood is garbage, only 4% of films made are directed by women. Hackle-raising documentary Celluloid Ceilings looks at the many forms of discrimination those who actually get to make a movie face. Watch and get angry (or don’t, it’s up to you).

Not lovin’ it

Website mcdonalds.hiphop has collated all the terrible rap-themed Maccy Ds ads, of which there are a surprisingly high number (trigger warning: contains rhyming McNuggets).

Drop the bomb

Missing the laughably bad musical drama Smash? No? Well, anyway, they’re making an actual Broadway show of the series’ fictional musical Bombshell, for some reason.

A worldwide catastrophe

Because excruciatingly awkward relationships are a global currency, Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney’s comedy Catastrophe is set to air across the globe, including in Finland and Luxembourg.
