This week's entertainment news has been dominated by the release of one of the most highly-anticipated films of the year, The Dark Knight Rises.

After its glamorous 'black carpet' world premiere in New York, the cast of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy finale flew to London for the European premiere on Wednesday night.

Downton Abbey received three Emmy nominations

The 64th Primetime Emmy Awards nominations were announced on Thursday with British favourite Downton Abbey picking up three nominations, including one for Best Drama Series.

Damian Lewis picked up his first ever Emmy nomination for Homeland and Sherlock was also given a nod.

Madonna gave it her all to her fans in London

The 53-year-old chart superstar, who is no stranger to controversy, stripped down to a sheer bra to expose a No Fear tattoo on her back, before pulling down her pinstripe trousers to reveal a black lacy thong under fishnet tights as she sang a stripped-back version of her hit Like A Virgin at London's Hyde Park.

Fans of the original Sugababes rejoiced on Friday as Keisha Buchanan confirmed rumours that the original line-up have reunited, by posting a picture of her with Mutya Buena and Siobhan Donaghy online.

They formed the girl group in 1998 and went on to achieve fame in 2000 with their debut album, but in subsequent years, they each left the band, which now consists of Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen. The original Sugababes' new band name is MKS, a name made up of their initials.

And finally, the music world was saddened by the death of rocker Jon Lord, who founded the band Deep Purple and co-wrote their most famous song, Smoke On The Water.

Lord died aged 71, he was diagnosed with a tumour in his pancreas in 2011.
