We’d be lying if we said we weren’t excited about “Reversed Hand With Middle Finger Extended.” Fox axed I Wanna Marry Harry–a dating show about a fake Prince Harry–after just a few low-rated episodes. NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman posted the first Vine from space, showing a single earth orbit, while aboard the International Space Station. THE DIGITS 416,569 The number of official Jeopardy! questions Alex Trebek asked from 1984 through the 6,829th episode he hosted, a feat that scored him a Guinness World Record for the most game-show episodes hosted by one person BY DESIGN In 1914 legendary architect Le Corbusier thought up the Maison Dom-Ino design for mass-produced minimalist housing. It didn’t catch on with the masses, but now this full-size model can be seen at the Venice Architecture Biennale through Nov. 23. VERBATIM ‘Water, barley malt, rice, yeast, hops.’ ANHEUSER-BUSCH, voluntarily revealing the contents of Budweiser and Bud Light, its two top-selling beers, for the first time. The decision came after a food blogger started a petition advocating ingredient transparency QUICK TALK Ed Sheeran English singer-songwriter Sheeran’s music can be heard in the movie _The Fault in Our Stars_, and the 23-year-old’s latest album, called x (pronounced “multiply”), drops June 23\. Here, he talks to TIME. –LILY ROTHMAN **Your fans were excited to learn recently that Taylor Swift made you a Drake-lyric needlepoint. Did you make her anything in return?** No, but I’m not a very crafty sort of person. She’s very crafty. **Obviously.** I know she’s 24, but she’s a sort of middle-aged woman trapped in a 24-year-old’s body. She hangs out with her cat and sews things. **How old are you, at heart?** My soul age differs from day to day. It can be 8 or 80. **How much do you keep up with what people are saying about you?** Every single Google Alert there could be, I read. **That’s scary.** At the beginning, definitely. My skin wasn’t very thick. But now, I think because of reading all those things, it doesn’t affect me at all. I just like to keep aware of where things are. **Your songs are very personal. Do you worry about oversharing?** I think songs are meant to be like that. They’re meant to be your personal diary that you share with the world. It’s quite nice. You’re like, _I’m the only one that thinks this_, and then there are 25,000 kids that are like, _Nope, me too_. **Did you get to keep the puppet version of you from the music video for your single “Sing”?** It’s going to be used in some other things as well, so it’s currently residing in \[my label’s\] offices. **Will you get to take it home at some point?** I paid for it, so I’m definitely going to. **Are you a good puppeteer?** Not at all. I’m probably going to put it in a box. “ON MY RADAR • Sam Smith’s In the Lonely Hour and Passenger’s Whispers “Those two records, for the past couple weeks, have been on repeat. They’re all from the heart.” • Ray Donovan on Showtime “I’m really looking forward to Season 2 of that.” SHINE ON The streetlights used to make artist Chris Burden’s 2012 piece Holmby Hills Light Folly, a model of which is shown above, are rare 1920s lamps from Los Angeles. They can now be seen in Basel, Switzerland, at the city’s annual global-art extravaganza. The “Parcours” section of the show, of which Burden’s work is a part, consists of 15 site-specific works located throughout the city’s historical center. Art Basel 2014 runs from June 18 through June 22. ROUNDUP Game On Watch out, speed demons: the world’s fastest spiky critter, otherwise known as Sonic the Hedgehog, is racing into theaters. The recently announced movie, based on a Sega video-game series that has sold more than 140 million copies, is the latest example of a game franchise heading to the big screen. But the jump from home consoles to the box office can be risky for even the most beloved platformers; some find an extra life, while for others it’s “game over.” Here’s how six adaptations fared: \[The following text appears within a chart. Please see your hard copy for actual chart.\] $21 MILLION\* SUPER MARIO BROS. (1993) With a $48 million budget, it was a commercial failure as well as a critical one $275 MILLION LARA CROFT: TOMB RAIDER (2001) The film starring Angelina Jolie as the relic-hunting heroine spawned a sequel in 2003 $102 MILLION RESIDENT EVIL (2002) A modest success that, four sequels later, became the most successful series in the bunch $336 MILLION PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME (2010) Jake Gyllenhaal starred in this film based on the 2003 game of the same name $471 MILLION WRECK-IT RALPH (2012) The film wasn’t based on a real arcade game, but many classic characters had cameos $203 MILLION NEED FOR SPEED (2014) Aaron Paul was behind the wheel of this adaptation of the popular car-racing-game series \*U.S. gross only; all others had worldwide releases Source: Box Office Mojo LEAVE IT Miss Nevada forgot the capital of her home state during an on-air interview. True Detective creator Nic Pizzolatto “can’t imagine” making more than three seasons of the hit HBO series. (But what does that mean, if time is a flat circle?) Not such a wonderful time of the year: Grumpy Cat is booked to star in a Lifetime Christmas movie. Delta Air Lines apologized for a tweet that showed the U.S.-Ghana World Cup score over images of the Statue of Liberty and … a giraffe, an animal not actually found in that African country.
