Grave times for Kevin Spacey, are the 1D boys really history, Wiz Khalifa says Hello and James Corden loses War and Peace’s Lily James

One Direction may be going their separate directions for the next 18 months but they have left fans with a cracking video for their new single History which looks back at their “journey” since they appeared on The X Factor. The video, directed by Fulwell 73 and Calvin Aurand, features Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik, who left the boy band last year.

There’s no looking back for House of Cards fans as Netflix prepares to release the whole of season four on 4 March. Kevin Spacey returns as Frank Underwood and, as the teaser trail reveals, Michael Kelly is back as Doug Stamper, who is shown digging a grave. No sign yet of Robin Wright as Claire Underwood …

Talking of loss, James Corden manages to lose Lily James – star of War and Peace and Downton Abbey – when he leaves the studio to meet her in her dressing room for a hug. Meanwhile recording artist, songwriter and actor Wiz Khalifa gives Adele’s Hello a fresh twist and we have a sneak peek of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Movie fans will also love the mash-up of all the films nominated for special effects at the Oscars – Mad Max: Fury Road, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Revenant, The Martian and Ex Machina.
