Parmalee's new song "Already Callin' You Mine" is an uptempo love song about that moment when it all clicks and you realize you're really into the person you're dating. But thanks to Facebook's relationship status box, that moment isn't as simple as it used to be. "I think that every modern-day, newer relationship has had that argument ... 'Well, you haven't changed your status ...'" Josh McSwain, the band's guitarist, tells People. "It's tough. Who goes first? jokes frontman Matt Thomas. "Do you sit there together and do it at the exact same time?" "It's definitely a lot more difficult now since Facebook has come out,...

British artist says Tate Modern Turbine Hall installation celebrates analogue film-making at a time when the 'beautiful medium is about to go'
The big story
Pallbearers at the ready, for film is checking out. The great medium of the 20th-century – officially born on December 28th 1895, when the Lumiere brothers laid on the first paid public screening – is now facing its final fade out, killed off by new technology and outpaced by digital. "This beautiful medium, which we invented 125 years ago, is about to go," laments the British artist Tacita Dean. "How long have we got? I hope we've got a year left. It's that critical."
Film, Dean's acclaimed Turbine Hall commission at the Tate Modern, is an elegy to the joys of 35mm and the language of old-school analogue film-making. Elsewhere, the artist describes her working process and explains how film and digital are "intrinsically different mediums". Digital technology has no personal appeal for Dean.

Could Lars von Trier have finally destroyed his own career?
The big story
Every week is Lars von Trier week – especially if you're Lars von Trier. But the Danish director, normally so adept at winding up the press and film industry, may have finally put his foot irretrievably in it, have gone that bit too far, gone off the deep end once too often. When he made a crack at Cannes back in May about how he could "understand" Adolf Hitler, I bet he didn't think he'd be fielding questions from the Danish police five months later.
But that is what happened last Wednesday, according to a statement issued by von Trier himself. He said his local bobbies were acting on a "preliminary charge" issued by French prosecutors after his Cannes press conference. Even now, it's not clear if von Trier himself has the full story: the French authorities have...
