Singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes like staying away from the partying lifestyle of Hollywood.
	The 17-year-old model said drugs scare him.
	"Drugs and stuff scare me. I'm not just saying that. I have a thing where if I'm not in control, I feel the whole world is about to collapse. So it's just not worth it," Mendes said.
	The "Stitches" star also has a level head about success and does not let fame over power him.
	"That's the big thing that has hit me lately. It's all come together, but it's hard for me to just say, 'Wow, this is amazing - I'm famous. I'm living the dream!' I sit there and think, I'm scared - this can go away tomorrow.
	"My dad always says that I'm a tortured soul because I'm never pleased. I never feel like I deserve what I've achieved," he said.

Scottish-born American musician David Byrne is writing contemporary "Joan of Arc" musical to debut on New York stage.
	The former Talking Heads bandleader penned a new musical called "Saint Joan", which gives a modern take on the 15th century heroine, reported Guardian.
	Byrne explained his desire to take on Joan of Arc in an email to fans which read, "Why has this story endured over centuries and been made into so many plays and movies?
	"Because it's about someone - a nobody, a teenage girl - who inspired others to act, to overthrow their oppressors and take charge of their lives. She transforms from an innocent, into an androgynous warrior, and finally a martyr.
	"Joan's story is about the power of the individual to make a difference and (for me) the hubris and sometimes oversteps that often go along with that. In other words - it's completely relevant."
	Byrne also noted the production will contain "very little spoken text" with "anthemic and spiritual music".

Portraying the ordeal of Indian death row convict Sarabjit Singh on screen was a challenge for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the actress feels the subject of the film "Sarbjit" was sensitive.
	In the film, which released today, Aishwarya plays the role of Sarabjit's sister Dalbir Kaur, who moved heaven and earth to call the world's attention to her brother's plight in a Pakistani prison.
	"The film is the result of everybody's labour. It can't be an individual's effort. Every department has put an effort. The script of 'Sarbjit' was brilliant and all of the actors in the film have given their soul in it. We had a huge responsibility," she told reporters here during the promotion of the film.
	Though the film has opened to mixed response from critics but for the 42-year-old actress, getting a thumbs up from Sarabjit's family was most important.
	"The most important impression for us was when Dalbir held Randeep's (Hooda) hand and said 'we have given full justice to her brother through this

	"It's three and half years now and Hamid has not got any justice yet. I am sure he is not a spy. He had gone to meet his girlfriend there. It's not only Hamid, there are many innocent people in jails of both the countries. They should be released soon and our film 'Sarbjit' will help them to get justice," he told reporters here.
	Randeep, 39, who essayed the role of Indian death row prisoner Sarabjit Singh in the film, said the character taught him to enjoy life to the fullest.

Actress Richa Chadda says she was told to be afraid of getting eclipsed by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in "Sarbjit".
	The 29-year-old actress, whose performance in the Omung Kumar directed movie is receiving a lot of critical appreciation, said many people tried to convince her to not sign the movie.
	"I was told by many creative people to stay away from the film. But I was convinced of my role. People told me to fear being overshadowed by a world beauty like Aishwarya. I truly believe that if you have talent in whatever capacity on screen you can stand out," Richa said in a statement.
	The actress known for picking up risky and unconventional roles said people's perception does not affect her anymore.
	"I have played Nawaz's mother in my first major motion picture. People shunned me after that and I had to justify myself to people everyday that I'm not that old or that I'm urban and not the person I portray on screen.
