Entertainment Live: Robin Williams remembered

Kevin Bacon has confessed he googles how many degrees of separation he has with any actor before he starts a new job, as he has made so many films he can't remember if he's worked with them before. 

He admitted to his memory lapse on James Corden's Late Late Show, who then put him to the test to see if he could remember a co-star from A Few Good Men. 

However the role he was asked about was the foreman of the jury who only had one line....

Winona Ryder is the latest person to confirm a Beetlejuice sequel is in the works. 

Director Tim Burton previously hinted it was close to happening. 

She told Seth Myers a whole new generation of fans talk to her about the film, but now there is a second movie in the pipeline she's too superstitious to say Beetlejuice three times in a row.

Get ready to see a whole lot more of Zac Efron - he's just signed up to appear in a film version of the 1990's TV series Baywatch, about Californian lifeguards who spend most their time in shorts with bare chests (at least the male ones anyway).

Helmed by Horrible Bosses director Seth Gordon, the movie will be a comedy, with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson starring as a "serious" lifeguard who is forced to team up with a young rule-breaker. 

Johnson announced the casting on Twitter, with Efron saying he was "stoked" to be on board.

The former High School Musical star won an MTV Movie Award for best shirtless performance last year, so he's bound to be the favourite for a second award when Baywatch is released next year.

It was only a few extra seconds of footage but not surprisingly Twitter has got pretty excited about the new Star Wars scenes shown on a Korean trailer. 

Coronation Street has been hosting a press day for journalists giving them a taster of what's coming up next on the soap but they have handily been tweeting some of the news so fans can get up-to-date too. 

Apparently an upcoming live episode will be "all about secrets".

"A back-to-basics focus on drama and characters rather than big stunts. Events of the night of the live will have far reaching consequences for months, if not years to come!" 

Very excitingly Mary is to finally get a love interest but there's bad news for Kevin as Jenny Bradley is returning. 

So it turns out we've been a bit forgetful on the live page today as we already knew all about Ed Sheeran's tattoo we mentioned earlier. 

He told Colin Paterson last month he would be getting his chest tattooed to commemorate his trio of sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium. The lion represents the England football team's logo. 

We'll slap our wrists later.

The Tate's request for help in identifying places in John Piper photographs has got some of you guessing.

Ian Hammersley emailed to say he thought the image of the mill we posted was New Mills, Derbyshire.

"Now in ruins, it forms part of the walk along the River Goyt and the Millennium Bridge in the Torrs area of New Mills - could be wrong though!!" he said.

While Daniel Davis wondered whether it was "Belper, Derbyshire, the old mill complex that's there."

The Tate has around 1000 images they need help identifying. If you fancy the challenge you can join in on their website.

Annie Lennox's artist daughter Tali has paid tribute to her boyfriend who went missing while on a kayak trip. 

Yesterday we told you how photographer Ian Jones disappeared when the couple's kayak capsized on the Hudson river in New York. Lennox was rescued by a passing boat.

A body has been recovered but no formal identification has taken place.  

Police say the pair were not wearing life jackets.

Lennox posted an image of herself with Jones on Instagram, saying he was her "soul mate".

Five libraries in Southampton are set to be shut unless volunteers come forward to run them.

The city council will vote next week on whether to save six libraries, but five others, along with the mobile service, will be axed unless community-led initiatives are set up to keep them open.

The move would save about £285,000 per year.

Top Gear's The Stig has got himself a new job. 

BBC One has announced a new Saturday night show where couples compete head-to-head in a series of driving challenges for a chance to race the Top Gear mystery driver. 

The Getaway Car will be hosted by Dermot O'Leary, who said he is looking forward to some laughs.

Quote Message: This is a show that's really about relationships. We all think we are great drivers, but what tickled me most is seeing how people, who obviously love each other very much, speak to each other when they are behind the wheel of a car. It brings out the worst in all of us... but in a fun way. It's a warm show that will stretch a family's patience with those they love most in the world. I had a whale of a time doing the pilot and now can't wait to make the series.

Ed Sheeran has just Instagrammed a photo which looks like he's in the process of getting a new tattoo of a lion on his chest - paying tribute to Cecil the lion maybe? 

We can't tell if it's real or felt tip pen, but he's tweeted a celebrity tattooist is working on him and he's helping him with the pain. 

We'll keep you updated if he posts any more on this "breaking story".

They may be a hit on the Great British Bake Off, but Mel and Sue's daily chat show has been dropped by ITV after just one series of 30 episodes.

The show, which was a format similar to their 1990s Channel 4 Light Lunch series which first launched their careers, attracted an average 790,000 viewers.

But it was regularly beaten by other shows in the same 16:00 time slot including Escape to the Country and Antiques Road Trip, which attracted around two million viewers.

An ITV spokesperson said: "Mel and Sue are great talents and we hope to work with them on other projects in the future."

It's hard to believe it's been a year since we lost Robin Williams.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, who played the actor's on-screen daughter in the US sitcom The Crazy Ones, paid tribute this morning on social media.

She also shared a photo of the Boston park bench Williams sat on in a famous scene in Good Will Hunting.  

She accompanied the image with a quote from US poet Ralph Waldo Emerson: 

Quote Message: To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that one life has breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.

The Tate gallery is asking for the great British public's help in identifying the places shown in newly published John Piper photographs.

Thousands of the photos are being made available on the Tate's website today, but many of them are of unknown locations.

Piper originally began taking the photographs when he worked with John Betjeman on the Shell County Guides, capturing shots of often remote or forgotten places.

Here are two images - a shop front and a mill that are possibly in Derbyshire - do you have any ideas?

You can get involved .

Lawyers for Marvin Gaye's son have denied he is going to sue the creators of hit US show Empire.

TMZ had been reported Marvin Gaye III was taking legal action over claims he came up the idea and story for the show five years ago.

"My client has not filed a lawsuit regarding the Empire series," Paul Philips, Gaye's lawyer, told Rolling Stone.

"Right now, Marvin's interests and our efforts remain focused on the Blurred Lines case and on seeing that through to its conclusion. We will address the TMZ report and the Empire matter at the appropriate time."

Who doesn't get excited when they meet ET?

An international teaser trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released yesterday and the eagle-eyed have spotted an extra few seconds of footage in it. 

It may be short, but it's enough for fans to be poring over the extra shot to see what it gives away. 

Could it be a brand new AT-AT? 

The trailer appeared on the Star Wars Korean YouTube channel and the official Star Wars Twitter account posted the new image too, saying the scene referred to the villainous group, The First Order.

Bafta-winning actor Jack O'Connell is to be given an honorary degree from the University of Derby. 

The Unbroken and '71 star was born in the city and started his acting life in productions at the local Saint Benedict School and Performing Arts College.

The actor - who famously introduced Angelina Jolie to the East Midlands phrase “ay up me duck" - said:

Quote Message: I feel a sincere level of gratitude for this honour I am presented with by the University of Derby. It's an achievement, and one I feel I can be proud of. Up the Rams.

Former X Factor winner Shayne Ward has said he is prepared for any backlash that may come his way when he makes his debut on Coronation Street on 21 August.

He's coming into the show as the cousin of Michelle Connor (played by Kim Marsh, pictured above left) to help out at the underwear factory run by Carla Connor (Alison King, right).

Sarah Harding from Girls Aloud was criticised for her acting ability when she appeared on the soap recently.

But Ward, who has a year's contract with the soap, said he "can deal with it".

"It's one of those things - I use it as my strength to kind of go, 'Well do you know what, I'll prove you wrong'."

Zayn Malik had a night out in Los Angeles last night at the premiere of the film Straight Outta Compton, which tells the story of the group NWA who changed music - a bit like One Direction.... or maybe not.

He was wearing a shirt with the word "truth" emblazoned across it - we're not sure who that is aimed at - his former fiancee Perrie Edwards or former bandmates?

There's good news if you're fans of Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese collaborations - they're teaming up again.

They're going to make the film adaptation of the non-fiction book Devil in the White City.

It focuses on the lives of two men at the time of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair - one who was the architect responsible for the fair's construction and the other a serial killer who lured his victims from the fair. Leo will play the killer.

Apparently the project has been knocking around since 2003 and at one point had Tom Cruise on board to star and Kathryn Bigelow to direct.
