Former Fifth Harmony singer Camila Cabello says writing solo songs is a tough task.
	The "I Know What You Did Last Summer" hitmaker, who announced her split from the band last December, however, finds creating songs alone a lot "more fun," reported Contactmusic.
	"It's totally different. In the group we would record songs for two weeks, it was a really fast process, like sometimes we'd do five songs in a day, it would just be like 'alright you sing the verse, you sing that', and then you just record it and that's it.
	"But this has been...Probably because I've had a chance to really like, write and make the songs, and be involved in every aspect of it from the production to the mixing. Definitely a lot more challenging but more fun, for sure," Cabello, 20, says.

Filmmaker Seth McFarlane wishes to make sci-fi storytelling happy again and show the hopeful side of the genre.
	 With his upcoming Fox dramedy "The Orville", the "Ted" creator aims to make the genre more optimistic, reported Entertainment Weekly.
	"I miss the optimism. I'm tired of being told everything is grim and dystopian and people are going to be murdered for food. I miss the hopeful side of science fiction. Now things are very grim," MacFarlane says.
	"The Orville", which is coming this autumn, is a "Star Trek" homage created by and starring MacFarlane, 43, that has strong dramatic and comedic elements while telling stand-alone episodic adventures. The show's style is retro, with sets and props and costumes that often resemble a 1990s syndicated show.

Taapsee Pannu said she can only demand an equal pay if the opening box office numbers of her movies are as big as her male colleagues in the industry.
	The actor, who recently featured in "Naam Shabana", said films like this and "Queen" and "Mary Kom" are still a rarity in Bollywood.
	"How many movies like these do you actually come across in a year? Probably one or two maximum. It's unfair to ask for an equal pay when you're not getting an equal amount of opening collection," Taapsee told reporters.
	"The day the audience walks in the theatre and sees a female protagonist's film, gives us the same amount of bumper opening of Rs 10-15 crores, that day I will say we need to be paid equally," she added.
	The "Pink" star said male actors get bigger opening number as compared to female actors and that is something which needs to be changed.
	"Right now it's unfair for producers to give us an equal amount of money because no matter how good the film is, like mine was this year's biggest ...

	There were reports that the film certification body had asked for eight cuts but Akshay said reports were not correct.

A fearsome sea-dwelling crocodile from the Jurassic period has been named in honour of Lemmy, the legendary lead singer of English rock band Motorhead, scientists said today.
	Lemmysuchus obtusidens lived around 164 million years ago and was a member of an extinct group of marine crocodile relatives called teleosaurs.
	Ian Fraser Kilmister, better known as Lemmy, was the founder, bassist and lead singer of English rock band Motorhead. He died aged 70 in 2015.
	"With a metre-long skull and a total length of 5.8 metres, it would have been one of the biggest coastal predators of its time," said Michela Johnson, from University of Edinburgh in the UK, who helped to untangle the identity of Lemmysuchus - which translates as Lemmy's Crocodile.
	The specimen, housed in the Natural History Museum in the UK, was dug up by collectors in the early twentieth century from a clay pit quarry near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire.
	However, it was incorrectly categorised with the remains of other sea ...
