Face to watch: Little Nikki

No, not the terrible Adam Sandler film, but 16-year-old Brit Nikki Shortland. Her debut single "Intro Intro" (out on 5 December) features Azealia-esque attitude, grime synths and even a rave siren. Watch your back, Rihanna.

The Italian snapper's first solo exhibition explores memory and landscape from Mesopotamia to Mexico City through eerie caves and deserted cities. Friday to 26 January, Brancolini Grimaldi gallery, London W1

Beauty: Jo Malone crackers

Forget novelty screwdrivers and degrading paper hats, and treat the ladies at your Christmas table to a mini selection of Jo Malone products. Lame gags not included. £28 each, jomalone.com

Web: Claire Danes crying

Who's got the best "crying face" in Hollywood? This video montage of the Homeland star's weepy scenes settles that debate once and for all. And the Oscar for best chin wobble goes to…
