It’s been a bad week for pop-related fashion. A London designer accused

Janelle Monae, above, of plagiarism after seeing the latex costume she wore for her Grammy routine. Meanwhile Katy Perry had to issue an apology after a shoe design from her clothes label was deemed racist.

2 HOWARD’S BACK

Marvel is reviving one of its more outre characters, Howard the Duck, for TV. Infamously George Lucas’s 1986 film version of the strip was a disaster. No pressure.

3 “IT’S FRIDAY. IT’S FIVE TO FIVE. IT’S …”

News that vintage BBC kids’ show Crackerjac­k is being revived. Alas Peter Glaze and Leslie Crowther are no longer with us so we will have to make do with Sam and Mark.

4 PANTHER SHOT

5 TIGER TRIPPING
