Fox's fake prince dating show, and more news to note

Today's talk you might've missed:

  • Want to marry Prince Harry? That's too bad, because it's not going to happen. To make you feel better, Fox has conjured up a reality show called "I Wanna Marry 'Harry,'" in which 12 American women were lured to an estate in England to compete for a man they were led to believe is Prince Harry, but is really just a Harry lookalike.

  • Some of you just can't "Let it Go." "Frozen" is still dominating the music charts, as it claims its seventh week at No. 1 and its biggest sales week yet. [Billboard]
  • We're pretty convinced there's nothing Benedict Cumberbatch can't do, and that includes playing Hamlet on the stage. [BBC]
  • According to Robin Thicke, he and his estranged wife Paula Patton are "very happy right now," which makes us wonder if he realizes they're still separated. [People]
  • Gird yourselves, Hamptons homeowners: Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian are headed to your town with a new reality show. [Time]
  • We really hope that the latest buzz on the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie is merely misinformed. If we wanted a movie "more about romance than raunch," we'd make it a Netflix night. [Cosmo]
  • Louis C.K.'s "SNL" promos, because we adore him:

Shakira: What's the verdict on her new album?

Shakira's new album is going to expand her "Empire" according to critics who've taken it for a spin.

There are some undeniable hits, and some very noticeable misses as the Colombian superstar stretches herself with producers like Dr. Luke and Max Martin. The mostly English-language disc packs an array of styles in its 12-tracks, from rock to reggae to a hint of country thanks to a much-despised pairing with Blake Shelton. At one point, the 37-year-old's son with Spanish athlete Gerard Piqué, Milan, makes a guest appearance.
