Metro is hiring an assistant entertainment editor! Are you obsessed with ents, showbiz and TV? Do you have years of experience in a senior role on an ents newsdesk? Can you spot a clever angle a mile off and turn hunches into pageviews? #journojob linkedin.com/jobs/view/assis…

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.

For 89 years, Barry Humphries entertained us through a galaxy of personas, from Dame Edna to Sandy Stone. But the brightest star in that galaxy was always Barry. A great wit, satirist, writer and an absolute one-of-kind, he was both gifted and a gift. May he rest in peace.

You would be forgiven for thinking this clever dog was looking to sign up to the police’s K-9 unit. But no. Instead, Rosie the Border Collie strolled into a police station after she ran away from her owner during her evening walkies.
