James Earl Jones will once again return to Pride Rock to portray Mufasa from the 1994 animated movie. Actress Angela Lansbury has joined the cast of Disney’s upcoming sequel “Mary Poppins Returns,” playing the Balloon Lady who wreaks helium havoc in the park during one of Poppins’s outings with the Banks children.
According to PEOPLE, the character was introduced in “Mary Poppins Comes Back,” the second book in P.L Travers’s series. Lansbury originally voiced Mrs. Potts in the 1991 animated version of “Beauty and the Beast.”
The Beckham family headed to Canada for a fun and exciting vacation on the mountains. David Beckham admitted it was his first time hitting the slopes on Instagram, while his wife Victoria posted her matching snow outfits with her daughter, Harper.

Despite her sister Kendall Jenner walking the runway during Paris Fashion Week, Kim Kardashian West will not return to the city five months after her high-profile robbery.

Ed Sheeran rung in his birthday by giving the world a gift: a new song off his upcoming album. Sheeran admitted it was a favorite of his. “How Would You Feel (Paean)” follows hit singles “Shape of You” and “Castle on the Hill.”
The music video features Sheeran rocking a classic flannel and crooning the ballad in one room as the camera pans around him. The romantic song was rumored to be his girlfriend, Cherry Seaborn’s, favorite track off the new album, “Divide.” Sheeran has known Seaborn since high school, and it was rumored that the two have been a couple since 2015, but only recently went public.
Personally, I am excited to see more music from Sheeran in the next month.
