Universal Pictures left the industry in a state of wonder at CinemaCon when it announced “digital fur technology” was being used to turn the actors in Tom Hooper’s “Cats” musical adaptation into felines. What exactly would Idris Elba, Judi Dench, Jennifer Hudson, and Taylor Swift look like with digital fur added to their faces and bodies? That answer finally arrived with the debut of the “Cats” official trailer, and the reactions from film critics and journalists is overwhelming, to say the least.
“Cats” is based on Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long-running West End and Broadway musical of the same name. The story is set during a single night and follows a group of homeless cats called the Jellicles as they decide which cat will ascend to a place called the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new life. The musical was based on a collection of short stories written by T.S. Eliot.

Fashion was the hot topic on this week's pet-tastic episode of The Apprentice.
From hi-vis jackets for chickens and guinea-pig t-shirts to Ruth's entire wardrobe choices, Twitter was interested in it all.
Here are this week's best tweets:
Chicken hi-vis jackets baffled a few people:

Tonight's episode of The X Factor was as eventful as ever, with the second part of Judges' Houses seeing Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora choose the final three acts they would be taking through to the live shows.
The top Boys and Girls have now been chosen, but the evening threw up some Twitter talk about a number of other moments of the show. Check out Digital Spy's round-up of the best tweets of the evening below.

The X Factor might have kicked off Judges' Houses last night in a two-and-a-half hour extravaganza - but there's still some work to be done. While Simon Cowell and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini can sit back and relax, there are still two categories yet to be decided.
That's right: Nick Grimshaw still needs to choose his Top 6 Boys, and we'll also see the Girls performing for Rita Ora and Meghan Trainor in an attempt to make it through to the live shows. It's going to get intense, people.
Of course, anything could happen - who knows if Simon will suddenly introduce a wildcard twist (*cough* Jennifer *cough*)? So join us from 7.30pm when the show kicks off and we'll bring you all the action...
20:56For now, though, we'll say good night - do keep leaving your comments and stick with DS for all the X Factor coverage you need. And Obviously...

It was the final Six Chair Challenge of The X Factor this evening, with two remaining acts for Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's Groups and Simon Cowell's Overs.
Emotions ran high - although Adele supposedly dropping a big album teaser in an ad break made people go mad. Digital Spy was watching along and compiled the night's best tweets.
Simon's turn came to choose his six acts, and naturally he was particularly moody:
Simon Cowell right now.

The X Factor's first Six Chair Challenge is over and Rita Ora has whittled a very talented 14 girls down to six.
Chloe Paige, Havva Rebke, Kiera Weathers, Lauren Murray, Louisa Johnson and Monica Michael are all heading to judges' houses - but what did Twitter think of Ora's decisions?
Firstly, there were a lot of people who thought the Six Chair Challenge was a bit mean:

Gogglebox is finally back – and all of your favourite telly watchers wasted no time getting tucked in on the week's hot-button topics.
We bring the best Twitter chatter about the Gogglebox crew breaking down the Syrian refugee crisis, cringing at an awkward First Date and wondering about Stephen Fry's "wife":

It's here! We can't believe it's come around so quickly, but it's time for the Britain's Got Talent final - and tonight, someone (or some people) will walk away a wee bit richer (and a wee bit nervous about performing for the royal family).

It's been a long Election Night.
From a BBC political editor soldiering on in spite of illness to a political stalwart whose hat became the butt of many a joke, it was quite a surreal evening on all accounts. As always, we at Digital Spy are here to curate everything through the weirdness that was Election Night.

Forget about Nick Clegg, clearly the Liberal Democrats' loser of the night was party chair Paddy Ashdown. Paddy offered the following gem when presented with disappointing exit poll figures: "If that exit poll is right, I'll eat my hat." Oh Paddy, don't tempt Twitter....

Tonight's (May 2) fourth round of Britain's Got Talent auditions involved dad dancing, a 12-year-old's performance of Whitney Houston's 'I Have Nothing' and a unique take on a Disney favourite.

Hello, good evening and welcome to our first Voice UK live blog of 2015. In a neat twist of fate, we're going live at the same time as this year's hopefuls. How about that?
Based on previous series of the spinning-chair spectacular, don't expect any overly harsh judicial criticism from the coaching panel - but do expect the Top 12 contestants to take to the stage, plus performances from reigning Voice UK champion Jermain Jackman and the omnipresent Olly Murs.
Join us from 7.15pm tonight to find out how it all pans out. Maybe, if we're all really good, we'll even get a 'Yeah!' from the one and only Sir Tom Jones.
22:09Howard and Lara from Team Tom, Autumn from Team Ricky and Clark from Team Rita are going home. Ricky comes up to the stage to give Autumn a hug.

21:54Smooth-voiced series 3 champ Jermain Jackman is back in the house, sharply attired in Voice UK red. 'How Will I Know' is a solid enough first single - but I think it undersells his talent, which is a bit of a shame.

Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs accidentally referred to Richard Pope as "Dick Poop" during this year's Oscar nominations.
The cinematographer - known as Dick Pope - received a nomination for his work on period drama Mr Turner earlier today (January 15).
Oscars 2015: Academy Awards nominations list in full
Boone Isaacs quickly corrected herself after the mistake, but struggled to remain composed as she continued announcing this year's nominations.
Pope has previously been nominated for an Academy Award in 2007 for his work on The Illusionist.
Boone Isaacs's mistake didn't go unnoticed as film fans across the world tuned in to watch the announcement online, and #DickPoop almost instantly became a trending topic on Twitter.
Check out a selection of reactions to the gaffe below:
And for Richard Pope, today is the day he inevitably relives the worst four years of his high-school life. #DickPoop

Finally, something to brighten up our January! Celebrity Big Brother is back tonight, and we can't wait to see who's about to go into the house. Host Emma Willis has promised a stellar lineup, so we're expecting big things.
We're just getting our popcorn ready, but join us from 9pm when the show starts on Channel 5 for all the action from the glamorous Borehamwood bungalow...
23:05Right, that really is it from us - thanks for joining us!
22:58Ooh, a snippet of live footage. Perez is speaking to Katie, which is presumably straining her ability to be nice. Although they are talking about her (and her horrible fat-shaming show) so maybe not...
22:56But for now, that's your lot! Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side is coming up if you want even more house action, but we'll be saying bye on this blog for now. Thanks for joining us,...

It was worth the wait, wasn't it? After nearly two years of speculation, a month of mysterious adverts on loop on ITV and CIA-esque level of secrecy surrounding the plot, Broadchurch series 2 finally arrived last night.
As writer Chris Chibnall promised, this wasn't simply another murder mystery whodunnit in the same town. In fact, it's quite the contrary - it's a can-you-prove-he-did-it.
Oh and that little case in Sandbrook that tormented Di Alec Hardy in series one. Yes, that reared up again.
At the end of the opening hour, we were left with questions piled on top of questions, and with a week to wait before we get episode two, here are the 20 most burning matters that we'll be mulling over until next Monday.
1. Why did Joe plead 'not guilty'?
"The evidence against you is clear."
"Not just me. Everyone... Nobody's innocent, Paul. Everyone's hiding things."
The exchanges between Joe Miller and Rev.

We might have started with 20 candidates on The Apprentice, but we're now down to just two. Lord Sugar's been more brutal than ever, but now he's got to show his nicer side as he picks either Bianca Miller or Mark Wright to receive a £250,000 investment in their business plan.
Bianca's into hosiery, Mark's into digital marketing, and tonight they're both going to launch their businesses in an attempt to prove they've got what it takes. But who'll walk away the victor? We're about to find out, so join us from 9pm when the show starts as we bring you all the action...
23:00But that's that! The Apprentice is over for another series. Seriously, though, when does the next one start? Thanks for joining us!
22:58As a parting gift, Dara gives Mark some cough mixture. Obviously.
22:58Tom, Ricky and Leah are in the audience talking up their businesses.

So far we've got a sexy magician, a mega-voiced boyband, a deliciously dark dance troupe and a cute-as-One-Direction-button singer in the Britain's Got Talent final. Tonight, two more acts will join them, but who will it be?
Brian Chan, Cartel, Crazy Rouge, Ellis Chick, Kitty & Rosie, Lucy Kay, REAformed, Sam Jones and Yanis Marshall, Arnaud and Medhi will face the judges and British public tonight. They'll also have to face the verdict of our live blog as we watch along live. We're sure they're terrified.
Join us from 7.30pm when we'll be live-blogging the fun and games on ITV.
22:01It might not have been vintage Got Talent, but you definitely couldn't call it dull. Hopefully that was the point. It was a crazy evening and I think we all need a lie down. We'll be live-blogging again tomorrow night. See you there? Don't you dare leave us to face it alone.

You say Britain. We say Talent. Britain. Talent! Britain. Talent! You get the idea.
That catchy ditty from the unforgettable (ahem) DJ Talent can only mean one thing. The Britain's Got Talent Live Shows are upon us.
It might not be as exciting as The X Factor, but what else are you going to do on a miserable Bank Holiday Monday?
Expect tearful children, tearful Amanda Holden and a truly mixed bag of contestants who will help reformulate the dictionary definition of the word 'talent'.
Our live blog kicks off at 7.30pm. Join us then when all the action kicks off on ITV.
21:59Anyway, I'll be back again tomorrow for more singing, more dancing and possibly even more ad breaks. If that's possible!
21:59I now feel awful because Jon was a really gracious loser and dedicated his win to his brother. I feel a little bit mean. This...

Here we are. Less than a month after agreeing to become a stand-up comedian, I arrived at the opening night of Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival to do my first (and quite possibly last!) ever set. With the help of comedy tutor Marc Blake, I'd flung my personality down on paper, edited it into something coherent, stuck some jokes in and then practised saying it out loud. I had a comedy masterclass with Peep Show's fabulous Isy Suttie. But I was still terrified, sandwiched between four other hacks who seemed way less nervous than I felt! How did it go? Well, you can watch the video below to find out.
As you can see, not too bad! My fellow journalists-turned-stand-ups (Tom Latchem, Sophie Heath, Stephen Armstrong and eventual and deserved winner Toby Earle) were all lovely and hilarious. Compere Ian Stone (more)...
