5 Things You Missed Today (April 22)
After her album Sweet Talker, Jessie J is back with a heartwarming ballad that shows off her powerful vocals for the movie Pitch Perfect 2. Listen to "Flashlight" below and make sure you mark your calendars for the movies premiere date next month!
So you have met Belle, Beast, Gaston, and the rest of the cast for the live action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Today, more actors joining the gang have been revealed. First, Ewan McGregor is set to play Lumiere the candelabra. Second, Stanley Tucci (yes, he's the hilarious Caesar Flickerman from The Hunger Games!) will be giving life to a new character—Cadenza, the grand piano, which Variety described as "a neurotic maestro." Woot, woot! We can't wait to see how Stanley brings thisonscreen since he's such a great actor!
P.S. Did you know that Stanley was our dreamcast for role of Lumiere? But we think Ewan would be perf for the role, too.

After it was announced yesterday that Dominic Sherwood will be starring in The Mortal Instruments TV series Shadowhunters, we've been dying to know more about it. Finally, we're hearing a few deets from famous director and producer (The OC, Supernatural, and Chuck) Joseph McGinty "McG" Nichol. If you're worried about the adaptation, don't be. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, McG said, "The mythology is very much in keeping with the book. I look at the television format for the fans to engage evermore deeply in the stories and the characters because you have more hours to parcel out the story itself. So I think that’s an exciting opportunity."

Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff's (the person Taylor Swift worked with for her 1989 track "Out of the Woods" and "I Wish You Would") band Bleachers will be touring together for the Charli and Jack Do American Tour this year.
