It's been quite a week, especially considering the untimely passing of One Direction's Liam Payne. Details about his fall from that third-floor balcony are still coming in, but one thing is for certain: it's a tragedy.
Payne's former bandmates have spoken out, as has his family, and fans worldwide have expressed their remorse online. Just so sad.
Here's what else happened this week in pop culture...

Asher Grodman is perfectly fine playing a ghost on CBS' Ghosts who walks through the afterlife without any pants. "I don't really want to die in the state that Trevor died.
