Talent manager Scooter Braun  revealed that pop star Justin Bieber's breakdown at the start  of 2014, when he was arrested for driving under the influence,  was a lot worse than the public knew.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal magazine  Braun said the situation was getting darker with each passing  day.
"It was worse than people realised. I failed him day  after day. We were living in hell because he was in such a  dark place.
"I have inconveniences, and other people have problems.  Mine feel important, but they're not. They're not life or  death. Justin's stuff got to a point where it was a problem,"  Braun, 36, said.
After discovering the Canadian singer on YouTube when he  was just a child, Braun said he felt a responsibility to not  only make him successful, but to also keep him safe.
"Some of the biggest people in the industry who invested  in Justin's career, told me, 'It's over. Focus on something  else. That kid is done'. I made a promise to him when he was  13 ...

Filmmaker James Gunn has  revealed that the original Groot in "Guardians Of The Galaxy"  is dead and Baby Groot is a new being.
Back in the first Volume of "Guardians of the Galaxy",  fans were shocked to see Marvel's decision to kill off Groot,  as the character sacrificed himself to save his new friends.
However, Baby Groot was born out of the remnants of  Groot's body, so it was believed that the character was going  to live on after all.
Taking to Facebook to talk about the franchise and the  character of Groot, Gunn wrote: "I also mentioned to folks who  kept throwing the Groot revival in my face, that that example  doesn't really work because Groot is dead. Although I don't  necessarily think it's obvious in Vol 1, it's important to say  that if you exploded and a little glob of you started growing  into a baby, I would not assume that baby was you."
"I do think it's more obvious in Vol. 2, as Baby Groot  has a different personality than Groot, none of his memories,  and is ...

"They have an appropriate distance from what I do at the  office. My 16-year-old said he was going to watch the original  'Blade Runner', but I'm not sure he has. Let's say they don't  want to sit down and watch daddy's history that way, at this  point," Ford says.
The 75-year-old actor says he does not socialise much as  he prefers to spend his freetime with his children.
"I don't see much of anybody socially. With five kids I  can hardly find time to see my accountant," he says.

Actor Andrew Garfield said he  does not like to use social media sites too much because he  feels they hardly contribute in personal development.
"It doesn't seem nourishing," he told The Sunday Times'  Culture magazine.
The 34-year-old actor also revealed the "different  experiences" of fame he has encountered.
"There are different experiences I have. The best is when  you come out of the stage door and someone hands you a letter  in which they thanked me for saving their life. That is the  best part of fame.
"Then there is this weird idolising, and I relate because  there are people I meet where I say, 'You're a god', and feel  them getting incredibly uncomfortable. If I was in the  presence of any of those (Mahatama Gandhi, Lamar, Rylance], it  would take me a while to be at ease (especially Gandhi)  because he's dead," he said.

That is how I choose a project - if I  read the script and after I leave it, the character lingers in  my head. If I am not terrified of the character, then it is  probably not for me," Nyong'o says.
The 34-year-old actor says her journey in Hollywood has  made her more aware about her self.
"I am more familiar with (this world). I have my likes  and dislikes. I know when I am spreading myself too thin. Now  I know how many hours I need to sleep.

The 20-year-old former Fifth Harmony bandmate said she  worked hard so that the album's songs are true to her talent,  reported RollingStone magazine.
"The final product becomes more clear to you the more you  carve at it and work on it. There were songs that five months  ago were my favourite songs, and then two weeks after (we)  scrapped it from the album.
"Through trial and error, I've written enough finished  songs to be able to say 'Okay, this is me. This sounds like me  and only me, and this separates me from what other people are  doing'," Cabello said.
The "Bad Things" hitmaker parted ways with the music  group in December last year, which now consists of Ally  Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui.

Actor Margot Robbie said she is  a little unnerved about her look from the forthcoming film "I,  Tonya" being the centre of attraction in the press.
The 27-year-old actor, who essays the role of ice skater  Tonya Harding in biographical drama, is not too impressed with  people discussing her physical transformation for the part,  reported Wonderland.
"All the reading, all the acting coaching, and then  someone reviews the movie or interviews you and all they do is  focus on the aesthetics. You think '... You've totally  discredited the work I did and it's not fair'.
"Ironically Tonya wasn't unattractive, she's just been  marred with that story. The worse I looked the happier people  were," Robbie said.

Music mogul Simon Cowell revealed he  will never comeback as a judge on "American Idol" as he  believes it is impossible to recreate the magic of the reality  TV series today.
The 57-year-old music producer said the revival of the  show will never be able to match the fun of the older times,  reported DigitalSpy.
"You can't go back! We had the best of times when we did  it. You can't recreate what we had before, you know, it was me  and it was Paula (Abdul) and Randy (Jackson) and Ryan  (Seacrest) and it was an amazing chemistry there," Cowell told  Extra.
He added that he "genuinely doesn't care" about the  current line up and that the idea of "Idol" was flawed as the  show now focuses more on the star power of the judges, not  creating stars out of participants.
"When I hear all this talk about casting judges, I have  to be honest with you, I think this is where they have it  wrong. It doesn't matter about the judges, it is about the  contestants and that is why everything has gone .
