Adam Lambert as Eddie in 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'

Queen frontman Adam Lambert is set to perform 'Hot Patootie' in the new showing, taking over Meat Loaf's original role as the leather-clad, motorcycle-riding ex-delivery boy Eddie. If you remember the 1975 cult movie, you'll know that things don't end well for this sexy reprobate, who is also the one-time lover of Dr. Frank-N-Furter and his groupie Columbia as well as a partial brain donor to Frank's creation Rocky.

It was the fashion Oscars last night (June 6th 2016) at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York; the CFDA Fashion Awards presented a host of the most glamorous women in showbusiness as it announced the designers and icons who have bagged prizes this year. 

Jennifer Hudson gave some Red Queen glamour

Of course, it was Beyonce who landed the coveted Fashion Icon Award by the Council of Fashion Designers of America and indeed she showed off her talents in the wardrobe department by eschewing the traditional red carpet gown in favour of a striped pant-suit and an enormous brimmed hat (kind of like a cross between Beetlejuice and Winona Ryder in the same film).

The first trailer has finally arrived for the forthcoming television re-boot of cult classic 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show', with Laverne Cox in the lead role. While many 'Rocky Horror' purists will find themselves dismissing this 30-second teaser immediately, others will be getting seriously excited about now.

Laverne Cox to play Dr. Frank-N-Furter

Fox will be airing Rocky Reborn (not an official title) on Halloween, appropriately, which will make it quite the perfect end to an evening of trick-or-treating. It has to be said, Laverne Cox pretty much nails the voice of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, and Reeve Carney of 'Penny Dreadful' isn't far off with his ghostly Riff Raff either. We also get a glimpse of 'Victorious' star Victoria Justice as Janet Weiss and 'Liv and Maddie' actor Ryan McCartan as her geeky fiance Brad Majors.

Iconic female detective Nancy Drew will not be coming back to television, at least on CBS. The network has passed on pilot ‘Drew’, which featured a modern reboot of the character, played by Sarah Shahi, after reportedly finding that the show had tested ‘too female’.

Sarah Shahi stars as Nancy Drew in crime drama ‘Drew’.

The pilot was one of many the network had been deliberating between and it came from former ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ showrunners Joan Rater and Tony Phelan. According to Deadline, bosses at CBS took extra time to deliberate between ‘Drew’ and Rater and Phelan’s other drama pilot ‘Doubt’, with the latter ultimately getting the green light.
