Singer Ed Sheeran plans to launch a youth club in his hometown.
	The 23-year-old 'A Team' singer has spent 1.6 million pounds on a former police station in Suffolk in the hope of helping local youngsters, reported Daily Mirror.
	"I'm really excited about the project. I had a youth club from when I was 12 when I grew up and they did a battle of the bands every week and that's where I and other bands started playing," he said.
	"Then the land the club was on was sold and I just went off to London and did shows instead. Now there's no youth club and nothing to do so it's a bad situation."
	Sheeran said he will have a hands-on approach to the centre.
	"The plan when I get older is to end up running that (the youth club) - so I have pretty much planned my retirement," he said.
	Sheeran recently released his new music video for upcoming single 'Sing' featuring Pharrell Williams.

Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie says she looked dull when the prosthetics she sported in her film 'Maleficent' were removed.
	The 38-year-old actress, who donned prosthetics to transform the shape of her face to play the titular wicked fairy Maleficent in the upcoming film, says it made her feel "flat" when she returned to her normal self after filming finished, reported Contactmusic.
	"What's now strange is when I go home for the weekend, I feel like my face is really flat - I feel very dull in comparison to her. She's so much more fun," she said.
	The brunette beauty, who is raising six children with fiance Brad Pitt, said that the film, which revolves around the villain of Disney's 1959 classic, 'Sleeping Beauty' has taught her a lot about 'being a woman'.
	"I've learned more about being a woman. She's very complicated, she wasn't born evil. She was born very soft and female in a way that a lot of women will be able to relate to but then she was abused in a way," she said.

'Gravity' director Alfonso Cuaron has shot down rumours he is heading back to the Harry Potter franchise to helm the forthcoming spin-off, 'Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them'.
	Reports emerged last week suggesting the Mexican filmmaker, who oversaw Harry Potter and the 'Prisoner of Azkaban', had become a frontrunner to helm the film adaptation of author JK Rowling's 2001 wizard story, reported Contactmusic.
	However, Cuaron has now denied the rumour.
	"It was a very beautiful experience for me. I have a lot of love for that universe and I tremendously admire JK Rowling, but today, for the present, projects based around lots of visual effects don't attract me. I'm coming out of a five-year process of doing visual effects and now I sort of want to clean my palate of that a little bit," he said.
	'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' is set for release in November 2016.

	The drama, which is set for release in 2015, also stars Paddy Considine as Banquo, Elizabeth Debicki as Lady Macduff and Southcliffe actor Sean Harris as Macduff.

Rapper Wiz Khalifa has scrapped plans to include a new song he recorded with Adele on his next album.
	The two became friends after meeting at the Grammy Awards last year.
	They hit the studio to work on new material - but now it appears fans will have to wait to hear the project, because Khalifa isn't planning on using the music he made with the Brit on his upcoming album Blacc Hollywood, reported Deadline.
	"That didn't make the album. It was, like, an idea... Maybe we'll get to do a remix or something," Kalifa said.
	The rap star previously revealed Adele is a huge fan of his wife Amber Rose - and they met while the 'Rolling in the Deep' singer was gushing about the model on the red carpet.

Tragic singer Whitney Houston's family is reportedly upset that Lifetime is making a movie about her life because they feel she is too big for small screen.
	The family of the late singer thinks that she was worthy of more than a television film, reported TMZ online.
	"Whitney is certainly worthy of more than a television movie. If Whitney were here today, this would not be happening," said Pat Houston, Whitney's former manager.
	Lifetime made the announcement earlier this week that they are planning a biopic on Whitney for 2015, with Angela Bassett making her directorial debut with the film.
	The Houston estate is so upset they are considering a lawsuit to block production. The family has already expressed displeasure to Lifetime and made it clear they weren't on board with a TV movie, a source said.
	The Houston estate is reportedly planning its own movie for the big screen.

	The 'Dahan' actor, having got rave reviews for a slew of critically acclaimed roles including 'Paromitar Ekdin', would rate the role of Shabana in Kandhahar as the one she missed doing as an actor.

	"The people in these areas also do want to see their native places in films. I had done jatra shows in pockets dotting Keshpur and Garbeta blocks of West Midnapore and know how crazy are the people of these areas about entertainment," Srabonty told PTI.
