That's all we have time for today, and this week. But we'll be back on Monday to bring you lots more news from the world of arts and entertainment, as well as a report from the BBC Sherlock Prom that is set to bring a touch of Conan Doyle to the Albert Hall this Sunday.
Elementary, my dear Watson.
Hollywood hijack
TMZCopyright: TMZ
You know how it is - you're a celebrity in Hollywood and you need a ride somewhere, but you don't have any transportation.
So what do you do? You hijack a TMZ tour bus and get them to drive you!
That's what Nick Jonas did while out on Sunset Boulevard, to the delight of the showbiz-hungry bus passengers.
He even took them to his brother Joe's house, where he randomly handed out bananas - presumably a reflection of the situation he found himself in.
American University/Jordan EaglesCopyright: American University/Jordan Eagles
A Washington museum is to exhibit a sculpture that uses the blood of nine gay, bisexual and transgender men to protest the ban on blood donations from men who have sex with other men.
Jordan Eagles' 7 foot (2.1m) tall Blood Mirror is a three-sided rectangle that will allow visitors to step inside it and see themselves reflected through the blood, which is encased in resin to preserve it.
The American University Museum is exhibiting the piece from 12 September as a protest of the ongoing federal policy.
"This is a way of drawing attention to what is no longer really acceptable - that you can't discriminate against people by virtue of their sexual orientation," said museum director Jack Rasmussen.
'Not a political statement'
The BBC's head of religion and ethics has published a blog post in which he defends filming a Songs of Praise episode at a Calais migrant camp.
The programme, Aaqil Ahmed writes, was not intended as "a political statement" but was "simply reflecting the conversations going on in many churches and Christian households around the country".
Quote Message: Songs of Praise is not only about Christian music. It also explores contemporary issues and modern themes from a Christian perspective."
Songs of Praise is not only about Christian music. It also explores contemporary issues and modern themes from a Christian perspective."
Heroes creator Tim Kring has been talking about the new Heroes Reborn series, which is due to air next month in the US.
The show lost many fans along the way before it ended in 2010, partly due to its meandering and drawn-out storylines.
Heroes Reborn - which picks up five years on from where the original series left off - will only be 13 episodes, something Kring admitted feeling relief about at a Hollywood press event on Thursday.
Quote Message: I think the biggest pitfall for us always was the amount of story that we had to tell in a year. But with 13 episodes it means that we can tell this very aggressive form of storytelling. And by that, I mean putting what I say 50 pounds of story into a 10-pound bag. And it’s what gives the show and the audience this kind of exhilarating feeling at the end of every episode where they can’t believe they’ve seen that much story happen.

Some familiar faces will be returning for the new show, including mindreader Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg), The Haitian (Jimmy Jean-Louis), Hiro Nakamura (Masi Oka) and Noah Bennet (Jack Coleman).
They will be joined by newcomers including Zachary Levi and Judi Shekoni. The new cast posed for a snap at Comic-Con last month.
David Gilmour has confirmed that Pink Floyd are no longer together and will not reform in the future.
"It has run its course, we are done," he told Classic Rock magazine. "It would be fakery to go back and do it again."
The guitarist and singer had already signalled the band's days were numbered, telling the BBC last year its most recent album, The Endless River, would be "the last thing that'll be out from us".
Gilmour said it would "just be wrong" to continue the group without keyboard player Rick Wright, who died in 2008 and in whose honour The Endless River was released.
Here's what Paloma Faith has to say about her new role as a coach on BBC One's The Voice.
Quote Message: I'm really excited about working with creative people who are there not just to be great singers, but also innovative personalities and performers.

Boy George has also revealed what he hopes to get out of his new role on the BBC One talent search.
Quote Message: I'm thrilled and excited to be a coach on The Voice UK. I'm a huge fan of the show and have watched and engaged with it from series one.

Piracy case hits stumbling block
APCopyright: AP
An Australian court has blocked a US company from accessing details of customers who illegally downloaded the film Dallas Buyers Club, unless it pays a A$600,000 (£283,000) bond.
Dallas Buyers Club LLC (DBC), which owns the rights to the 2013 Matthew McConaughey film, is trying to seek compensation from people who pirated the movie.
The court said it set such a high bond to ensure DBC will not make a profit and only send invoices for the cost of a legitimate copy of the film.
Music producer Al Schmitt has become the latest entertainment figure to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
One of the most celebrated recording and mix engineers in the business, Schmitt has won more Grammys - 23 - than anyone else in his field.
Sam Cooke, Barbra Streisand and Sir Paul McCartney are just a few of the music stars with whom he was worked over the course of a career that has spanned more than half a century.
The 85-year-old was joined by producer Don Was and musician Joe Walsh at Thursday's dedication ceremony, fittingly held outside the Los Angeles headquarters of Capitol Records.
And the grant goes to...

Hollywood veteran Jane Fonda, Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson and Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston were just some of the notables who gathered last night to help the organisers of the Golden Globes dole out grants to non-profit arts organisations.

Actor Jake Gyllenhaal and rapper Ice Cube were also on hand to see the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) distribute $2m (£1.28m) to worthwhile causes.

Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro got a chance to catch up at the event, eight years on from appearing together in Things We Lost in the Fire.

Newly naturalised US citizen Emily Blunt, pictured above with husband John Krasinski, was among those to have problems with the teleprompter. "I'm amazed how blind I am," she squinted at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Los Angeles.
He's fired!
Getty ImagesCopyright: Getty Images
He may have done the hiring and firing on the US version of The Celebrity Apprentice, but now Donald Trump has been shown the door on the NBC programme.
The network cut ties with the businessman and Republican presidential candidate in June over comments he made about Mexican immigrants.
NBC said the show would not be back this year but would return in the future with a new host.
The first trailer for Burnt - formerly known as Adam Jones - has hit the net, offering Bradley Cooper fans a taste of his new cookery-themed drama.
The Coop plays a celebrated chef who, after coming a cropper in Paris, moves to London to revive his stalled career.
Emma Thompson and Sienna Miller feature in the promo alongside various London landmarks, one of them just a stone's throw from the BBC's Broadcasting House HQ.
You could have popped in and said hello, Bradley. Tsk.
The release of the 2007 comedy Waitress was inevitably overshadowed by the death of its writer and director Adrienne Shelly, who was killed by a burglar in her New York apartment shortly after completing the film.
Eight years on, Shelly's film has a new life as a musical that is set to transfer to Broadway next year after a successful debut in Boston.
Singer Sara Bareilles, (pictured above next to a 2004 picture of Shelly), has written the music and lyrics for the show, which tells of a small-town waitress who finds an escape from her loveless marriage in a secret romance.
Will Smith is reportedly in the early stages of developing a Fresh Prince of Bel-Air-style comedy.
But don't get too excited Fresh Prince fans - it won't be a straight revamp of the original '90s series that made Smith a star.
Although it will still focus on a fish-out-of-water character, it will be a new show with different characters.
We're betting Jayden or Willow Smith may have a starring role in it...
As the Fresh Prince theme tune is probably in your head now, here's another look at the great rendition Will Smith and Gary Barlow gave on The Graham Norton Show a couple of years ago.
How do you go about reinventing a classic '60s TV show as a blockbuster movie franchise?
If you're Tom Cruise, you get the Mission: Impossible series. If you're Uma Thurman, you end with with notorious 1998 flop The Avengers.
British director Guy Ritchie will be hoping his new "reboot" of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. avoids the fate of the latter when it reaches cinemas this weekend.
Find out what the film's stars, Henry "Superman" Cavill (pictured) and Armie "Lone Ranger" Hammer, had to say about this big new release when they met the Man from Auntie.
Simon Callow, Brian Cox, Mark Gatiss and Tim Pigott-Smith are just some of the many artists involved in the project, which will culminate later on the Almeida's stage.
It's all part of the venue's Almeida Greeks Festival, which began with an acclaimed production of Aeschylus' Oresteia that transfers to the West End next week.
RiRi joins The Voice US
BBCCopyright: BBC
Rihanna is to join The Voice US as a key adviser to all the coaches on its upcoming ninth series.
Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Pharrell Williams will return as mentors, along with Gwen Stefani - who previously served as a coach on season seven.
Levine and the singing competition's host, Carson Daly, have welcomed the new recruit on Twitter.
The new series of The Voice begins in the US on 21 September.
On the Buses star remembered
Tributes have been paid to actor Stephen Lewis, known and loved by millions as Inspector "Blakey" Blake in On the Buses, who has died at the age of 88.
Over the course of a long career, Lewis also appeared in Last of the Summer Wine, Oh Doctor Beeching! and '60s classic Sparrows Can't Sing.
Despite only hosting The Tonight Show for 18 months, comedian Jimmy Fallon has had his contract extended until 2021.
Since taking over from Jay Leno, Fallon has brought in a younger audience with his mix of celebrity sketches and games.
"The Tonight Show has always been an institution, but he's remade it into a destination for the largest audience anywhere in late night," said NBC chairman Bob Greenblatt.
The programme is the top-rated late night talk show on US TV, averaging 3.8 million viewers.
It's Friday! If it's grey and drizzly where you are - as it is here - fear not, as we have eight hours' worth of entertainment and arts news to brighten up your day.
