That is all from us today - we hope you enjoyed our mix of arts and entertainment.

We'll be back tomorrow with news from the first night of One Direction's goodbye (for now) gigs.

In the meantime, check out this video of a Korean pharmacist lip-syncing to various pop hits.

It's very energetic.

French director Luc Besson has revealed that Rihanna will play a role in his next film.

"RIHANNA is in VALERIAN!!!!! ....and she has a big part!!" he wrote on Instagram. "I'm Sooo excited!!!😊"

No word on who Rihanna is playing yet, but she will star alongside Dane DeHaan and British model-cum-actress Cara Delevingne.

The film is an adaptation of a best-selling graphic novel series about a time-travelling agent from the 28th Century. 

Its release is scheduled slightly sooner than that, in July 2017.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer Karen O has recorded the theme song for new video game Rise of the Tomb Raider.

I Shall Rise will feature at the end of the latest in the Lara Croft series and will be released digitally.

"I think they wanted to bring on the melodrama with this song," said the singer, who was Oscar-nominated last year for the song she contributed to Spike Jonze's film Her.

"It's kind of the theme of Lara's creation myth, the moment that defines her becoming an icon." 

No snippets of the song yet, but here's a trailer for the game which is out next month.

Derren Brown has been telling the BBC about his forthcoming ride at Thorpe Park in Surrey.

A team of 1,000 technicians are working to bring the attraction to life in 2016.

Billed as a "fully immersive psychological attraction", the 13-minute journey is "designed to manipulate the human mind".

"The only brief was to make something that was fun and thrilling," Brown told us earlier.

"The sheer budget involved is huge. This is their biggest investment in anything, which is amazing and genuinely is a world first.

"There is nothing like it."

In keeping with his stage shows, though, he is keeping schtum about how it will work.

"It isn't a rollercoaster, it's an experience. If I described it you, you would think it sounded exciting.

"If it does everything that it should do, it will be phenomenal".

Brown is due to start a West End run of his latest show, Miracle, next month.

The editor of Newsnight has expressed concern over the seizure of a BBC journalist's laptop by police acting under the Terrorism Act.

Ian Katz said police using the act to access information shared between journalists and sources could cause problems when reporting about Islamic State (IS).

The BBC has confirmed that journalist Secunder Kermani, who had been in contact with a man in Syria who was publicly identified as an IS extremist, handed over the computer after officers secured a judge's order.

You've heard of William Shakespeare, right? That playwright fella from Stratford-upon-Avon who fell in love with Gwyneth Paltrow?

Well, it's hoped that a lot more people will know a lot more about him next year thanks to Shakespeare Lives, a global programme of events celebrating his life, works and cultural influence on the 400th anniversary of his death.

The British Council, the British Film Institute, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the BBC are just some of the organisations involved in an ambitious initiative that will include films, exhibitions and new productions of his plays.

Here's what culture secretary John Whittingdale has to say about it.

Fifty years ago today, The Who released their now-classic track My Generation.

Amazingly, it took four weeks to climb the singles chart to number two and was kept off the top of the chart by The Seekers.

Six decades later, remaining band members Roger Daltrey 71, and Pete Townshend, 70, are still singing "Hope I die before I get old."

Here's a reminder, not that you need one, of this seminal teenage anthem.

Former T4 presenter Vernon Kay has added to the tributes being paid to Sam Sarpong, the brother of Kay's friend and colleague June.

US actor Wilmer Valderrama also posted this photo montage Sarpong, with whom he worked on MTV's Yo Momma, alongside a lengthy remembrance.

The London Korean Film Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary next month with one of its biggest celebrations of South Korean cinema to date.

The 13-day event kicks off on Monday with the UK premiere of Ode to My Father, an unashamedly heart-tugging tale of a young man (Hwang Jung-min, pictured), who dedicates his life to taking care of his family after they are displaced during the Korean War.

Other highlights include Veteran, a raucously funny cop comedy that, like Ode to My Father, has been a huge hit at the South Korean box office.

Check out the trailer for this year's festival, external, which runs from 2 to 14 November at various London venues.

Having spent the summer playing The Elephant Man on the London stage, Bradley Cooper is no stranger to the English capital.

Which probably explains why he looked so comfortable on the red carpet last night at the UK premiere of Burnt, a new film in which he plays a gifted if temperamental chef.

Cooper, who made Burnt shortly after shooting Oscar-nominated drama American Sniper, admitted to BBC London's Alice Bhandhukravi there are parallels to be drawn between operating in a war zone and the pressures of working in a Michelin-starred restaurant.

"I did find similarities," he said. "There's something about that environment being hyper-real."

Watch the full interview.

Drum and bass musician Goldie has led tributes to Urban Cookie Collective singer Diane Charlemagne, who has died of cancer aged 51.

Charlemagne featured on Goldie's 1994 hit Inner City Life. 

The year before, as part of Urban Cookie Collective, she had a hit with The Key The Secret.

The singer also toured with Moby, who paid his own tribute to the singer.

Soul singer Beverley Knight, currently starring in the West End production of Cats, also paid homage.
