Watch: Florence and the Machine post new music and teaser video online

This morning, we brought you news that Florence and the Machine's impending new album release was coming soon - but even we didn't think that we'd be hearing something this soon.

The star hosted a playback of her third album in full last night in London, and has just posted a new teaser video online, dubbed, 'How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful.'

The amazing-looking video sees Flo doing some Sia-style interpretive dancing with a doppelgänger in an amphitheater in the middle of a jungle - as you do - over a brass-laden track.

It's not yet known whether 'How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful' is the title of the album, a song from the album or just the title of the teaser. It's all very mysterious, but the teaser can be seen below.

Watch: Charli XCX covers Taylor Swift's Shake it Off

Charli XCX is kind of a big deal in the pop industry, clocking up hits with the likes of Iggy Azalea and Icona Pop in recent years.

The young Cambridge woman releases her new album 'Sucker' this Friday and is going in all-guns-blazing on the promo trail (check out her… 'different' outfit at the Grammys t'other night).

Her latest stunt has been covering Taylor Swift's 'Shake it Off' for BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, which you can watch below.

Watch: David LaChapelle directs ballet star in mesmerising new Hozier video

Celebrity photographer David LaChapelle has directed a new promo for Hozier's global smash 'Take Me to Church'.

The video stars Ukrainian ballet dancer Sergei Polunin, who has previously starred in Marc Jacobs ads and is a principal dancer with The Stanislavsky Music Theatre and theNovosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre in Russia.

LaChapelle, of course, has directed many music videos in the past for artists like Moby, Elton John and No Doubt.

The singer was suitably impressed by the video, tweeting his approval last night.

Six choices to replace Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man

With news coming in today that Spider-Man is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and that Andrew Garfield is to be replaced, we thought we'd do a spot of wild speculation as to who could possibly replace Garfield.

No doubt agents are already lobbying Marvel and Disney, but here's six choices we think would be perfect to portray the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

6. DYLAN O'BRIEN

He was impressive in The Maze Runner and showed that he's more than capable of holding a film up and doing action sequences. He's got the look and the right age to play a young, early-20's Peter Parker and, hopefully, has the comedic chops to play up Spider-Man's lighter moments. The only catch is that he's not exactly name-recognition, but if they can get him on the cheap and build a role for him like they did with Chris Hemsworth, there might be something there.

5. THOMAS BRODIE-SANGSTER

Also a Maze Runner co-star, Brodie-Sangster is currently starring in the incredible BBC miniseries Wolf Hall and he previously did a stint on Game of Thrones. He may look a little TOO young, but if he bulks up a bit, he could be an interesting choice.

4. DOUGLAS BOOTH

We spoke recently with Douglas Booth and asked him about what he had lined up next. The actor, who was a gracious interviewee, clammed up immediately - which means it's a big role. Really big. Could Douglas Booth be playing Spider-Man next, we wonder? Those model-quality looks might play against him as Peter Parker. He's meant to be this dorky-looking kid, not some Armani model type. Now, if you said he was going to play the next Harry Osborn, then yes. That he can do. Much the same way James Franco did it in the original trilogy. Speaking of Franco...

3. DAVE FRANCO

Yes, it's kind of meta to have the brother of James Franco playing Spider-Man, but we think this is a really good choice. Firstly, Dave Franco is funny. Spider-Man had this fantastic humourous streak in the comics that was lost when Tobey Maguire all mopey and Andrew Garfield, bless him, couldn't really pull it off. Spider-Man is supposed to be a working-class Tony Stark - a witty, sarcastic, self-aware superhero. We think Dave Franco's a lock here.

2. DONALD GLOVER

He's campaigned publicly for the role and let's not forget that Spider-Man was African-American for a run in the comics. Plus, like Franco the Younger, he's got a comedic background and he looks the part too. It's not outside the realms of possibility and we personally would love - LOVE - to see Donald Glover as Spider-Man, but we can't see this happening. Still, it means he can keep doing Childish Gambino albums and possibly even return to Community...?

1. TOBEY MAGUIRE

No.... no. No.
