This is a bit of an old story, but we love it so it’s going up. =)

It’s a story about a Youth Centre in Bookham which might close due to lack of funds, but local residents, including Tom Felton, have made donations to keep it alive. From the story:

[Tom Felton], now 20, who says he spent much of his life between the ages of six and 15 at the centre, is among those who have made donations.

And also:

Tom Felton has a lot of time for the Bookham Youth Centre. As he played pool at Saturday’s open day the former Howard of Effingham student told The Bugle, ‘I came here between the ages of six and 15’. The 20 year old star had attended the centre’s summer scheme and its Thursday and Friday club nights. Tom didn’t say so but we understand he has handed over to the centre some of the hard-earned cash he made in his role as Harry Potter villain Draco Malfoy.

The PR release Web site, pr-inside.com, has posted an article about Tom’s music career.

HARRY POTTER villain TOM FELTON has prompted speculation he’s set to become the next musical actor after posting videos of secret pop performances online.

The 20 year old, who plays bully Draco Malfoy in the Potter films, appears to be cashing in on his film fame by using his celebrity status to launch a career in the music industry.

Felton has posted videos of himself singing while strumming a guitar on website YouTube.com earlier this week (begs12May08).

He started out singing in a church choir at the age of seven, before a friend suggested he try his hand at acting.

Reports suggest Felton is going back to his musical roots – and already has an album in the works.

Not really any new information… I thought that “secret pop performances” was kind of funny. It’s not really secret if you post it to YouTube, is it now? LOL!

Note: Over the next few days I’m going to be posting some stuff that may be a little old, but I’d like to sort of get caught up, so just bear with me. =)

Perez Hilton, infamous and annoying blogger for perezhilton.com, posted a note about Tom’s videos!

British actor Tom Felton – the bleached blonde bully in the Harry Potter flicks- is also a budding musician.

Groan.

Felton has an album in the works and he’s even opened himself up to criticism by already posting some home-made vids of him singing on YouTube.

LOL. I think the funny thing is that the comments are pretty overwhelmingly positive! Some people even defended Tom from Hilton’s “Groan” comment – though I’m not sure that was really Hilton expressing his opinion of Tom’s music, but rather the idea of “another” crossover artist.

Anyway, check it out and post something positive for Tom!
