“I never see you at the club.” Okay, well I never see you at the Lorde Virginlivestream on TikTok. Lorde went live and let ‘er rip.

And we have a new Lorde outfit for anyone already planning Halloween costumes: a stretchy white lace bodysuit with black underwear under there.

New boyfriend, new single …new album? That appears to be what Cardi B is teasing on social media. “Seven years, and the time has come,” she says while swathed in black and escorted through a palatial estate by some crows.

We’re not even going to touch the master class in late-night guesting that James Acaster performed on Late Night With Seth Meyers this week. My colleague Hershal Pandya covered it beautifully already. What I will say is this: Acaster’s performance on Late Night does not exist in a vacuum. He honed these quips in the field of combat: British panel shows. Wouldn’t it be great if there were some show that regularly gave medium-famous comics space to be funny on TV and hone their chat-show skills?
