2012-01-10T03:02:00.000-08:00

Justin Bieber and Emma Watson's hairstyles were most searched cuts of 2011.

We already knew that Justin Bieber ruled the fragrance front, but now that famous ‘do is taking a 2011 superlative as well.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Bieber's signature swish was one of the most-searched celebrity haircuts on Google this year, earning it one of the Most Influential Haircut titles.

As for the ladies’ equivalent style? Though the Duchess of Cambridge may be the beauty icon of the year, her glossy mane didn’t make the cut (so to speak).Emma Watson’s versatile pixie cut—the one she swears wasn’t her “Britney Spears moment”—took that honor, making it the other Most Influential Celebrity Haircut.

Lindsay Lohan Still Learning from Mistakes of Youthful Stubbornness

2011-12-12T19:05:00.000-08:00

Lindsay Lohan wants to learn from her "mistakes".

The troubled actress - who has been in and out of jail throughout the year after breaking her probation in relation to a 2007 DUI (driving under the influence) conviction - blames her past actions on "stubbornness", but admitted she holds herself "accountable" for what she has done.

She said: "Ultimately we are each responsible for ourselves and for our actions. Looking back, I probably would have listened to and taken more advice from the people whom I admire and would have followed through with it more.

"My stubbornness at 18 and 19 years old got in the way. During the past five years, I've learned that time flies faster than you think, and because you only live once you have to learn from your mistakes, live your dreams and be accountable."

The 25-year-old star also thinks "sex and sexuality are a part of nature", and she believes being confident about her body can help her along in such a "male-dominated world".

Speaking in an interview with Playboy magazine, for which she posed naked in a Marilyn Monroe-inspired shoot, Lindsay added: "Sex and sexuality are a part of nature, and I go along with nature. Knowing yourself and your body is so important because it gives you confidence, and in life, women need confidence.

"It's a very male-dominated world to begin with, so knowing yourself and being comfortable with your body is an important thing for me as a woman."

Lindsay Lohan Playboy pictures leak online

2011-12-12T18:47:00.000-08:00

Lindsay Lohan’s Marilyn Monroe inspired photoshoot with Playboy magazine wasn’t supposed to be released until the end of this week, but on Friday night several scantily clad photos of the Mean Girls star leaked online.

While there’s nothing we’d love more than to show you the pictures, we can’t because we’ll get in a lot of trouble if we do, but the good news is you can click on this link to a website where somebody a lot braver than us has posted every single picture.

And instead we’re going to tell you some other LiLo related news; over the weekend Lindsay accidentally left her $5,000 Chanel handbag in her car while she attended a house party in Hawaii and guess what? When she came back to the car it had gone *gasps*Apparently she really freaked out because the bag contained her passport, some probation paperwork and $10,000 cash.

But this is the really random part; a friend of Lindsay’s claims she spotted a suspicious looking local and asked him if he knew where the bag was. He denied everything, but moments later reappeared claiming he’d ‘found it on the street somewhere.’ Hmmm.... Only in LiLo's world eh!

Lindsay Lohan Carries $10K in Cash and Has it Stolen

2011-12-12T18:44:00.000-08:00

Lindsay Lohan had her $5K Chanel purse stolen while on vacation in Hawaii, along with $10,000 in cash inside. Later, the purse — along with her passport and court docs permitting travel — was recovered but not the loot, and she's terrified the episode might send her back to jail.

Meanwhile, an un-Photoshopped pic of LiLo at her Playboy shoot has emerged. Lohan says that "sex and sexuality are part of nature" and that posing nude gives her confidence, and that women need confidence.

Lindsay Lohan tells Playboy she's learned from her mistakes

2011-12-12T18:42:00.000-08:00

Lindsay Lohan told Playboy magazine in an interview released Monday that she has learned from her mistakes and is trying to be more accountable for her actions.

Lohan, who has been in and out of court for much of the last few years for a variety of misdeeds, said she did not behave well in the past.

"My stubbornness at 18 and 19 years old got in the way," she told Playboy. "During the past five years, I've learned that time flies faster than you think, and because you only live once, you have to learn from your mistakes, live your dreams and be accountable.""Looking back, I probably would have listened to and taken more advice from the people whom I admire and would have followed through with it more," she added.

Law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times last week that Lohan had been quietly putting in her required hours of community service at the L.A. County coroner's office and is now ahead of schedule for completing the court-ordered service.

Lohan is scheduled to appear before Judge Stephanie Sautner on Wednesday for a probation update, and those familiar with her community service say she has been doing more than 12 days a month at the morgue. At this rate, she could finish her community service by March in connection with a probation violation on her necklace theft conviction and a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence.

Last month, the judge sentenced Lohan to 30 days in jail and ordered her to complete her entire community service at the morgue, where she works as a janitor. The jail time amounted to a matter of hours.

Lohan admitted to violating probation by missing required workdays and appointments. Lohan missed 12 of 20 scheduled workdays at the Downtown Women's Center imposed in May when she pleaded guilty to the necklace theft from a Venice jewelry store. Lohan, 25, also canceled 14 of 19 scheduled appointments for court-ordered psychotherapy.

Under the judge's order, Lohan must also attend 18 psychotherapy sessions. Sautner warned the actress that if she failed to meet the terms of her probation, she would be returned to jail for another 270 days. "This is what we really call putting the keys to the jail in the defendant's hands," Sautner told Lohan.

Lohan is required to report to the court each month and was seen last week visiting probation staff. She appears on the cover of next month's Playboy. Images of the cover have already been leaked. The photos were shot between sessions at the county morgue and a court appearance last month.

Bombshell Lindsay Lohan's nude Playboy shoot

2011-12-12T18:24:00.000-08:00

The cover of the highly anticipated issue leaked early and we have already seen a behind the scenes shot of Lindsay Lohan dressed only in a silk dressing gown on the set of the shoot.

But now the men's magazine has released the first shot of the actress from the inside spread - and it is clear Lindsay is channelling her inner blonde bombshell.

The 24-year-old actress is seen reclining with her white blonde hair tumbling over her shoulders, her arm raised above her head.With her red glossy lips parted, Lindsay is seen pouting and staring into the camera with her eyes partially hidden under her huge eyelashes.

Fans of the magazine will no doubt feel short changed by the 'nude shot' which reveals only a hint of her chest.

While plenty of flesh is on show is seems her skin has been airbrushed considerably in parts with few freckles on show.

Yestersay a snap showing Lindsay on the set of the photoshoot was revealed.

The Mean Girls actress was captured before the airbrush, clutching a cigarette and teasing onlookers as her dressing gown gaped open.

With her Marilyn Monroe locks cascading down her shoulders, LiLo clearly looks striking - but there is something uncomfortable about the image; a little girl lost beneath lashings of red lipstick and a confused expression.

The picture highlights just how petite Lohan is, with her super slender legs poking out beneath the hemline and thighs the same width as her calves.

Lindsay Lohan gets her purse back

2011-12-12T18:21:00.000-08:00

Lindsay Lohan has her purse, passport and probation papers back after the bag was stolen from a car parked outside a house party she was attending Saturday in Laie, Hawaii.

The $10,000 cash the actress had allegedly stashed in the $5,000 Chanel purse, however, went on a permanent Hawaiian vacation.

No matter: Lohan was so stoked to get her purse and papers back, she didn’t ask questions of the person TMZ described as a “suspicious-looking local,” who turned up with the bag in the wee hours and said he’d found it on the street. The theft had been reported to local police.Lohan, whose trip to Hawaii with sister Ali had been approved by the probation department as a way to avoid publicity around the release of her Playboy photo spread, was completely freaking out before getting the purse back, according to TMZ — freaking out that failure to return to the mainland in time for her Wednesday hearing might land her in jail.

The original': Lindsay's shoot was inspired by celebrity photographer Tom Kelley's nude pictorial of Marilyn Monroe, shot in 1949 for a calendar before featuring in the first edition of Playboy in 1953

Sound familiar? It should, minus some of the freaking out: Lilo’s purse and passport went missing at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2010 while she was hitting a party sponsored by Belvedere vodka, making it impossible for her to get back in time for a court date. She was, at the time, allegedly promoting her now-nixed “Lovelace” portrayal of “Deep Throat” star Linda Lovelace, a role since taken over by Amanda Seyfried.

Of course, unless it’s a person’s sole photo ID, a passport hasn’t been needed to return to the mainland from Hawaii for a while now. Cannes, however, was a different story — that ID fiasco resulted in La Lohan missing a scheduled court date, setting off a chain of events that eventually found our heroine headed off to jail and rehab.

Lohan should in fact be eager to show up in Judge Stephanie Sautner’s courtroom Wednesday. She’s ahead of schedule to complete her community service, according Richard Winton of the Los Angeles Times.

Sautner is the judge who in November decided Lindsay needed “structure” to succeed with her probation requirements, giving her community service and counseling goals to hit monthly in lieu of about a year and a half of jail time. Law enforcement sources told the Times. Now she’s been quietly fulfilling her morgue duties, as the judge ordered.

Also, this time around Lohan apparently picked a smarter place to party, according to the Honolulu Advertiser, which noted that the town of Laie — on the island of Oahu — is predominantly Mormon.

“It was the most bizarre thing and it was bizarre on so many levels,” said Laie resident Clark Cahoon, who was at the party.

“If you’re looking for somewhere to go that doesn’t have drugs or alcohol, you won’t find anything more wholesome than a party at a Mormon home.”

Hey look, her 'purse' was stolen!

2011-12-12T18:19:00.000-08:00

Everything’s coming up Lohan? Not quite.

Hot on the heels of her comeback Playboy pictorial leak, which led Hugh Hefner to release the issue early, Lindsay Lohan is making headlines because her purse was stolen.

Oh, Lindsay.

Lohan, who is on vacation in Hawaii, had $10,000 in cash, her passport and some important court documents that permitted her travel in the expensive designer bag when it was stolen at a party, according to TMZ. The kicker is that Lohan is due back in court Wednesday for a hearing.There’s even audio that allegedly shows Lohan swearing about the purse theft, saying, “My dad will kill me,” if she ends back in jail. (Listen here.)

The legally troubled actress did get her bag back, TMZ reports, minus the thousands of dollars she had in it. What makes this situation even more sigh worthy is that it actually has happened before. Lohan missed a court hearing in May 2010 after she claimed her passport was stolen in Cannes.

Given the combination of events — a pre-probation hearing trip to Hawaii, taking important documents to a house party — it’s hard to look away. Yet, Lohan says she doesn’t get why she’s a regular tabloid feature.

“I have no idea why there is this fascination with everything I do,” Lohan told Playboy, via Reuters. “I suppose it is all part of this trend of people wanting to know every single detail of a celebrity's life. ... I mean, once we get to the point where magazines are doing pictorials on my wardrobe to court, that's just so unimportant.”

LINDSAY LOHAN Playboy Pictorial

2011-12-12T18:16:00.000-08:00

SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor has slammed actress Lindsay Lohan's 10-page nude pictorial in Playboy magazine, claiming that she looks "like a series of toll booths."

Taylor has been on a solo tour for the past few weeks, combining acoustic performances with audience interaction and readings from his book "Seven Deadly Sins".

During a recent stop on the trek, Taylor said (see video below), "If anyone hasn't seen the Lindsey Lohan Playboy shots yet, save your fucking money. She looks like a series of toll booths. She looks like somebody has fucking tossed their fucking change into it, and you're just like… ugh. I didn't know you could airbrush that much — I've gotta be honest — because her body is, like, it's okay, but her face but her face is, like, [gives look of disgust]. It's like somebody opened the Ark Of The Covenant at the end of [the] 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark' [movie], you know what I'm saying?! That one dude who's just melting like a motherfucker. He's like [extends face with his mouth wide open]. Boo [gives one thumb down]."

In a 2007 interview, Taylor has blasted the media for devoting coverage to troubled stars, including Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. The singer claimed that he was fed up with the publicity given to the likes of "pig" Spears.

Taylor said, "[Britney is] a pig and needs to give it up.

"People have this fascination with mediocrity and gross displays of bullshit. It's everywhere. People are intrigued by popular people, but that shit is so precarious it can be gone tomorrow.

"The fact that the public are mesmerized by Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and all these miserable people makes me laugh, because those celebrities are more miserable than the people reading about them for escapism."

Taylor recently raised eyebrows on his solo tour by calling STONE TEMPLE PILOTS singer Scott Weiland a "lazy piece of shit " at one stop and bashing legendary producer Rick Rubin (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, SLAYER, AUDIOSLAVE, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, METALLICA) — with whom he worked on SLIPKNOT's 2004 album, "Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses)" — as "overrated" and "overpaid" at another, saying he'd never work with Rubin again "as long as I fucking live."

The singer will tour Australia and North America with SLIPKNOT next year, and also plans to head into the studio with STONE SOUR.

Lindsay Lohan’s Boobs Are The Best ‘In The History Of Boobs’

2011-12-12T18:14:00.000-08:00

On Monday’s Access Hollywood Live, Billy Bush and Kit Hoover discussed Lindsay Lohan‘s photo spread in the new issue of Playboy. And for two entertainment hosts, they seemed to have very little knowledge of Lohan’s boobs, considering how often they’re on display, in all their glory, in various magazines and on websites.

Hoover admitted that she didn’t know Lohan had boobs –”like, big boobs! And they hang nicely!” Bush then said that he looked at the pictures…with his wife. “Because I’m a 40 year-old guy, it’s creepy looking at a 25 year-old girl topless.” Their verdict?

“In the history of boobs, these are the best boobs.”Hoover then re-iterated that she had no clue Lohan looked so voluptuous, to which Bush suggested that it’s because she’s, “still seeing Parent Trap.” Bush then revealed that, in his kitchen, actor Scott Wolf (from Party of Five fame) and his wife, Kelley, had a debate over whether or not Lohan’s boobs were natural.

Watch the entire clip of the exchange below, complete with Bush’s thoughts on Lohan possibly having implants, below, courtesy of NBC:

Emma Watson returns to spotlight for a red carpet spin

2011-12-12T07:45:00.000-08:00

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has ducked out of showbiz for a bit to concentrate on her studies at Oxford University… at least that’s what she said she was going to do a while back.

It seems she can’t stay out of the limelight though and has just got herself all dolled up in a pretty backless, corset dress with tulle skirt to attend a promotional event in Hong Kong for Lancome.

Only a couple of weeks ago Emma attended the London premiere of My Week with Marilyn, in which she plays a wardrobe assistant to the Hollywood icon.Talking to reporters there she said she related to Marilyn and what she coped with being under the showbiz spotlight.

“I certainly feel a lot for her and for what she went through,” she said.

“I think she was just trying to find her feet in the midst of this kind of crazy circus that went on around her, and trying to find some sort of balance and some sort of normality in her life, and I can definitely relate to that."

Thankfully it looks like Emma’s finding her middle ground and is managing to juggle her studies with the occasional appearance.

The 22 year old actress is also ensuring she won’t be out of work after Uni and said: “There are a lot of things that I'm lining up."

There’ll be no slogging for years to pay off the student loan for Emma then.

New Deathly Hallows Featurette on Emma Watson

2011-12-03T07:17:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson

Dec 03, 2011 - Emma Watson talks about how Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays deranged death eater Bellatrix Lestrange, became a mentor for her throughout the filming of Deathly Hallows.

She offered her advice on how to deal with the attention she received playing Hermione Granger in the franchise.

Watson also talks about being 'the girl' of the group, and the feeling that there was a lot more focus on her throughout the years, with people interested in where she was going to school and what she was wearing.

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is out now on DVD and Blu-ray.

Emma Watson and Rupert Grint: The Harry Potter kiss that missed

2011-09-22T01:53:00.001-07:00

This summer Harry Potter fans cheered, whistled and maybe even toasted each other with smuggled-in butterbeer when Hermione and Ron finally kissed in The Deathly Hallows Part 2.

But what happened on set when Emma Watson at long last put her mouth on Rupert Grint's mouth? That behind-the-scenes moment gets captured in a just-released Harry Potter featurette. (It's posted below -- and you'll be able to find it on the movie's DVD and Blu-Ray when it arrives Nov. 11.)

And let's just say Watson and Grint had the opposite experience of the average Ron/Hermione 'shipper.

"I'm trying to erase it from my mind," Grint told Dose.ca this summer, flashing back on the experience.

As for Watson, she old OK! magazine: "Rupert was the weirdest. ... I just had to remind myself, I am an actress. I am Hermione, this is a role -- but it was really hard."

And in the new featurette -- which captures Watson and Grint girding themselves or their first on-screen face-smash -- director David Yates admits that awkwardness was in the air.

"You know, they're like brother and sister, they were both very nervous," Yates says in the clip. (Grint and Watson met when they began filming the Harry Potter series in their tweens.)

"Emma's very smart. She decided if she was going to avoid 27 takes she was going to get it right the first time," Yates continues. "And we're about to roll, and I just see Emma brace herself. And I see that conviction that she's got, I'm not going to mess around here, this is it. Rupert hadn't quite reached that same point, and I think Rupert wasn't quite expecting it. And then she just went for it."

Smouldering Emma Watson comes of age in new Trésor Midnight Rose perfume ad

2011-09-05T04:53:00.000-07:00

As she leaves the days of Harry Potter behind her, Emma Watson takes another step towards becoming a defining figure in the world of fashion and beauty.

Stepping from one role to another, the face of Lancôme has firmly made the new lead position hers - and has proved that she has well and truly come of age in the process.

In a new ad for Lancôme Trésor Midnight Rose perfume, the star oozes elegance and charm as she wins the affections of French actor Cyril Descours.
Ooh la la: The Lancôme ad shows a sophisticated Emma Watson winning the heart of her French Monsieur

The playful storyline sees a refined and edgy Emma accidentally leaving her trilby hat in a Parisian book store. The helpful - and devastatingly handsome - Descours attempts to return the hat to the Mademoiselle... and the two eventually clinch - well, almost - under a night sky on the banks of the Seine.

The actress morphs between coquettish, boyish cool and evening chic in the love story, her red lips and jaunty hat a world away from her days at Hogwarts.

The award-winning 21-year-old actress follows in the footsteps of Hollywood stars Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz who fronted advertising campaigns for the French company in the past.

At the launch of the fragrance in May, the British actress said the perfume is 'addictive, it's warm, it's playful, it's sweet, it's everything I hoped it would be.'

She has also starred in Burberry campaigns and is no stranger to front rows of some of the most high profile fashion weeks catwalks.

The ad was shot in Paris back in March, when, despite looking immaculate while the cameras were rolling, Emma chomped on chicken kebabs during the break - proving not all A-list stars deprive themselves for their size zero frames.

The former child star, who is the face of the brand, confessed she wasn't much of a fragrance connoisseur before joining the project.

She said: 'I didn't really like perfumes before because I thought they were heavy, but this one is really light and playful.

'I feel lucky to embody a fragrance I am so crazy in love with.'

The brunette beauty raved about her wonderful time in France, tweeting to her one million followers: 'Had such an amazing time in Paris with Lancome!

'Soon to start filming Perks of Being a Wallflower - can't wait! Hope everyone's ok xx'

The new production will see Emma sidestep away from the JK Rowling series with a more series role. The story follows Charlie, a high-school freshman, who is struggling to cope with mental issues.

He is introduced to the world of sex and drugs by friends, Sam - played by Watson - and Patrick.

Emma Watson Dazzles in New Lancôme Commercial

2011-07-30T19:47:00.000-07:00

Adorable actress Emma Watson isn't quite done with magic even though she's wrapped up the Harry Potter films—but this time the magic comes in a different form.

"You never know what's going to be around the corner," the actress says in a new, behind-the-scenes video of her Lancôme fragrance ad. "That's what we wanted to get across in the fragrance: that life is magical with little surprises."

The ad for the perfume centers around a love story between Watson and male model Cyril Descours. Em explains: "I think all of the Lancôme fragrances have kind of a theme of romance to them in some way. I wanted there to be a sense of optimism and fun and a sense of youthful energy and positivity. What I love about this story that we put together is that it's almost fate, like chance, that brings the two of them together."

Filmed by Mario Testino in the Hotel Crillon in Paris, the campaign is set to air later this year.

Not that we're biased or anything (we are), but Emma looks flirty, gorgeous and so natural!

Emma Watson reveals her £2.99 beauty secret

She might turn up on the red carpet dripping in labels such as Chanel and Burberry but it seems Emma Watson's beauty regime is a little kinder on the purse strings.

The Harry Potter actress - who has turned to modelling in recent years fronting campaigns for Burberry and snapped for magazines including Vogue and Vanity Fair - has revealed one of her favourite products.

Available from Boots the £2.99 Rambling Rose organic lip balm by Figs and Rouge has been given the thumbs up by the 21-year-old.

Her make-up artist Charlotte Hayward, who worked with the cast on the recent release Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, confirmed the cut-price lip salve was coveted by the young star.

When asked which product Emma most wanted to take home after a day's shooting Charlotte - who has worked on a number of blockbusters including In Bruges and The Da Vinci Code - said: 'Emma discovered the brand called Figs and Rouge that do cleansers, toners, moisturisers and serums… That was one of Emma’s favourite things on the film.'

Created by Chester-based, holistic health therapist Debra Riley and artist Nicolas Gawn the brand - which features Art Deco inspired packaging - was launched in August 2007.Specialising in balms for the face, lips and hands there is an assortment of scents in the range including Rambling Rose, Sweet Geranium, Peppermint & Tea Tree and Pomegranite. It is currently stocked in 12 different countries from Poland to Japan.

After being introduced to the brand on set Emma said: 'I am obsessed with organic skincare and was overjoyed to see how beautifully packaged Figs & Rouge products are.'

All of the balms are free from chemicals and synthetic ingredients which will suit the millionairess who has expressed an interest in natural products over recent years.

Last year she collaborated with the organic fashion label People Tree and this spring she launched a collection called Pure Threads after working with Italian designer Alberta Ferretti on a line of environmentally friendly dresses.

She said: 'I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian and environmental issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren’t many options out there.'

Founder Debra Riley added: ‘I’ve always used organic products, but often their fragrance and packaging are off-putting.

'I strongly believe that anything you put in or on your body should be organic as it has a direct effect on your health.’

Emma Watson Says Handsome Men Don't Turn Her On

2011-06-19T08:31:00.000-07:00

June 19, 2011 - Emma Watson is beautiful, famous, and filthy rich. Therefore, she could have her pick of men. So far, the single 21-year-old star of the Harry Potter film franchise has yet to settle down. But when she does, it won't be with a guy with conventionally handsome Hollywood leading man looks. Guys like that are definitely not her type.

In fact, Emma Watson claims she doesn't have a type.

"You could line up photographs of the guys I've dated and they all look totally different," she claims. "You won't believe me but it's really very much to do with their personalities."

Yes, that is rather difficult to believe. But, if that's so, then why the bias against handsome guys?

""If someone's nice to look at," Watson continues, "it gets boring after about 10 minutes."

Yikes. So what kind of man might be able to someday win Emma Watson's heart--or at least get a chance to compete for it? What qualities must he possess?

"Kindness, good manners, intelligence, confidence," she enumerates without hesitation, "... and someone who can make me laugh."

Well, there you have it. So, take note all you guys who, although plain of face and physique, are nevertheless sweet, polite, smart, self-assured, and funny. Here's your chance. And since Emma Watson recently beat out Angelina Jolie for the title of highest paid actress in the world, you don't have to have money.

Emma Watson overwhelmed by Chanel tour

Emma Watson found it "overwhelming" being shown around Coco Chanel's apartment.

The 'Harry Potter' actress was flown out to Paris by the French fashion label ahead of a film premiere and was given the VIP treatment, which included seeing where label's founder and fashion icon lived her glamorous life.

She said: "My most glamorous moment was probably when Chanel flew me to Paris to try on premiere outfits. It was ridiculous - I went around Coco Chanel's apartment! I found that really overwhelming."

Despite going to many premieres over the years, Emma hasn't got bored of choosing outfits and knows when she's found the right one.

She said: "It's really weird, you just know when you've got the dress on. I'm like, right that's it, no need to look any more, this is the one."

Last year, the 21-year-old beauty cut her long hair into a pixie crop but admits her father wasn't initially impressed.

She said: "My dad was like, 'Don't get carried away, you're not Audrey Hepburn yet.' But he loves it now, so he's eating his words."

Snapped on Set! Emma Watson Gets ‘Rocky Horror’ Glam for ‘Wallflower’

2011-06-02T06:50:00.000-07:00

Emma Watson is hard at work filming the upcoming big screen adaptation of the hit book, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and was recently seen rocking a rather interesting look.

On Tuesday, the British actress was seen with her co-stars on set in Pennsylvania and we’re channeling their inner Rocky Horror Picture Show characters. If our assumptions are correct, it seems that Emma’s character will be playing the role of innocent Janet.

So, when can we expect to see Perks of Being a Wallflower hit the big screen?

The film, which “tells the story of an introvert freshman named Charlie who learns everything from drug use to suicide after being taken on the wings by step siblings Sam and Patrick,” should be released some time in 2012. It will also star Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev, newcomer Logan Lerman and Parenthood star Mae Whitman.

Emma Watson immortalised by her favourite artist

Emma Watson was in for a surprise when she went to purchase a painting of her favourite artist, as he ended up immortalising the actress in 34 new paintings.

Watson became a fan of Mark Demsteader's art as a schoolgirl and wanted one of his works as a present to herself on her 21st birthday in April 2011.

But she was ecstatic when the painter asked her if she would pose for him instead.

"There is a gallery in Oxford that I used to look in after school which exhibited Mark's work. His paintings were always my favourite. For my 21st birthday I decided to contact Mark to buy some of his work,” she explains.

Adding, “When he asked if he could paint a series of paintings of me, I was a bit nervous about the idea at first but obviously incredibly flattered - it was an opportunity I couldn't turn down. I am Mark's biggest fan and I am hugely grateful.”

And Demsteader, who will offer 10 per cent of his proceeds from the pieces to charity, insists it was a pleasure to work with the star. "The idea behind them is to make a collection to celebrate Emma's birthday. I wanted to capture a moment in time, and by making each piece a quick snapshot, I hope to capture Emma as she reaches 21,” he said. “In some way I hope these works celebrate Emma in what she has achieved already, and in all the many possibilities to come.”

The collection is to be exhibited at London's Panter & Hall Gallery in June 2011.

Emma Watson Turns 21 Today, But Is That Cooler Than Becoming An Adult Wizard?

2011-04-15T19:28:00.000-07:00

A very happy birthday goes out to our favorite fashionista, Emma Watson, who turns 21 today!

As you all well know, turning 21 is a pretty big deal in American culture (though to be fair, Emma has been able to do all of this stuff in the UK since she was 18), but we thought it would be a bit more fair to compare Emma coming of age as a muggle to coming of age as a wizard. If you know anything about our "Harry Potter" bias (or at least mine), you can probably guess which direction this one is heading.

After the jump, we weigh the pros of turning 21 in the States against turning 17 in the wizarding community to determine which one is the coolest!

You Can Use Magic Freely versus You Can Drink Legally
In this instance, we're going to have to go with the magic usage over drinking legally. Obviously for American youths turning 21 is a pretty big deal solely for this reason, but in the wizarding world, young wizards have been able to get tipsy off butterbeer since they first got to go to Hogsmeade in year three! Wizarding world, you win this time.

You Graduate Hogwarts versus You Have To Get A New License
Again, coming of age in the wizarding community has a bit of an edge over turning 21 as a muggle. On your big day (at least in Massachusetts), the state requires that you head over to your local DMV and update your license. If not, it's technically expired and you can't get drinks! We'd much rather graduate Hogwarts instead.

The Ministry Of Magic Stops Tracking You versus You Can Go Clubbing (And To Concerts)
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner: Becoming an adult in the wizard community is way cooler than turning 21! Sorry Emma, turning 21 is great, and not having any restrictions when it comes to going to clubs and concerts must be pretty cool, but not having the government keep tabs on you anymore? There's nothing more freeing than that!

Life no cakewalk for plucky Emma

2011-03-24T22:32:00.001-07:00

Emma Watson knows words like neutropenic, radiation and blood transfusion.

The three-year-old likes My Little Pony, wants to be a fairy, and generously shares her cup cake stash with the Taranaki Daily News.

Emma also has leukaemia.

Her mother Joanne says if the house was on fire, she would probably grab Emma's Beads of Courage on the way out.

"To Emma what's most important is the beads. She gets one for every procedure she's had. Sometimes she says `I can't do this' and I show her how many she's already got, what she's gone through so far," Mrs Watson said.

Emma has nearly 2000 of them. Their length swamps her small form, as she lies on her hospital bed following a blood transfusion.

For Emma, the black beads represent injections – of which Joanne has given 180 herself. The beads are one of the reasons why Emma's parents agreed for the New Plymouth preschooler to become the face of this month's national Child Cancer Foundation (CCF) Appeal.

"I had to shut my business down the day Emma was diagnosed. While we've had amazing support from family and friends, even that isn't enough to cope with the day-to-day expenses we've incurred. CCF have helped with things like fuel and grocery vouchers."

Practical things are important for the family, who are constantly back and forth between their New Plymouth base and Starship Hospital in Auckland. Joanne and husband Mike have six older children between them – Emma is their "combined seventh". She was diagnosed in January last year, 10 days after they were married. After more than a year, the number of nights they've spent together as a couple is low.

"It just isn't natural, we've never really been together for a long period of time. Whichever parent is home is dealing with all the normal stuff of teenagers, but the other is with Emma."

And yet, they are positive. Each day is a gift. They use a lot of humour. And they are passionate about CCF.

"They fill in the gap, they give us all the practical things and also the emotional support. They just do so much, they're there for us no matter how long this is going to take. We were coping hour to hour and they were right there looking after the rest of the family."

Mrs Watson describes it as a journey.

Last October, during intense chemotherapy, Emma contracted an antibiotic-resistant strain of the bacteria pseudomonas. She was evacuated to Auckland, had two heart attacks, multiple organ failure and her siblings travelled there to say goodbye.

Somehow, Emma pulled through. Getting through that means the family has already faced their greatest fear – Emma losing her battle. Now, she is in a phase called maintenance, which means all the intense chemotherapy has finished.

"So we give her oral chemo every single day and twice on Thursdays now. She should be more settled, but we just never know what's going to happen day to day.

We have a new normal now. At no point do we ever take for granted we're in a cruisey phase. She's not in a predictable pattern."

This Saturday Mrs Watson will be outside Pak 'n Save in New Plymouth collecting for the appeal.

If she can, she will take Emma's beads with her.

"They're such a powerful visual tool. When people see them, they can understand what she's been through. No two child's necklaces will be the same – they're specific to their journey."

Mrs Watson said in the last year, in Taranaki alone, eight children have been diagnosed with cancer, all around Emma's age. "I feel quite strongly that early diagnosis raises our chances of beating it. We never thought it would happen to us. If people do know that it's not as rare as you think, it can make all the difference."

Doctors say that Emma is a miracle. They also say she is gracious. As we leave her hospital room, I thank Emma for the cupcakes and letting us talk with her Mum.

"You're welcome," she said. Three children are diagnosed with cancer each week in New Zealand and collectively undergo a total of 75,000 treatments and procedures annually.

Emma Watson Plays it Again with Alberta Ferretti's Organic Line

2011-03-24T22:20:00.000-07:00

She gets around, little Miss Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. First she was the face of super trendy and super expensive Burberry. Then she launched her own line for People Tree.

Now Emma Watson is going very high fashion again, teaming up with the Italian woman designer Alberta Ferretti. The new organic line, called Pure Threads, is inspired by Jane Birkin, an English born sultry torch singer who lives in France and was huge in the '60's. Alberta Ferretti is an Italian designer whose luxury line has been around since 1968. It's known for its draped and layered look in luxury fabrics.

Watson and Ferretti met up because of Ms. Ferretti's admiration for her. She said "She's an actress I've followed since her early days. I like her freshness, her spontaneity and simplicity. She is intelligent, with a strong personality, a young, modern girl of today but aware of social issues at the same time and very rigorous. This is a moment that demands strong attention to these issues and we can help in communicating them."

The Ferretti-Watson collection is called Pure Threads by Emma Watson and Alberta Ferretti and it is only available on-line.

The collection consists of five pieces: two dresses, a shirt, a long skirt and a pair of denim shorts, all enriched with lace embroideries and made with organic fabrics such as cotton poplin, cotton muslin and hemp. It is made with organic fabrics including cotton poplin, cotton muslin and hemp and the packaging, too, is environmentally-friendly.

It's a summer collection, with little white winsome blouses and short-shorts. There are sweet little lace insets on several of the pieces, including the shorts. The black lace dress looks a bit Mexican and the long white one is definitely hippie.

Emma Watson Gets a Red Card in Harry Potter 7.1 for Laughing Too Much!

2011-03-24T22:18:00.000-07:00

Love this video and thanks to a comment from reader of the site, ‘Devamma’ who gave us the heads up to this video in the previous post I did for Potter yesterday.

In this clip, we get to find out just what happens when the stars of the movie spoil a scene! In this footage which I think must come from the special features of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, we get to see Watson spoiling scenes over and over again while filming scenes with Rhys Ifans during while at the Lovegood house. Each time they cock up a scene, a red card is given and £5 must be paid into a pot!So nice to see the cast having fun making these movies and no doubt more of these fun little snippets will be seen on the DVD and Blu-ray when it’s released 11th April. Pre-order your copy here.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is directed by David Yates and sees Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint all back as Harry, Hermione and Ron respectively.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is released in cinemas 15th July in 3d!

how Emma Watson has her sights on megastardom

2011-03-24T22:16:00.000-07:00

They are wondering, in the rooms she shared at Brown University on Rhode Island, what their most famous student plans to do with her ‘things’.

A jumble of books and clothes — cream Prada pumps, suede Louboutin platforms and piles of Agnes B casual wear — remain. The girls in her dorm, who include Scout Willis, the daughter of Demi Moore and Bruce Willis, expect she will send someone to pack.
They are already saying how much they will miss Emma Watson, the unassuming star of the Harry Potter films, who bunked down in a single bed in a shared room for the past year and a half.

Emma Watson Gets Lovely For Lancome In Paris

2011-03-24T22:15:00.000-07:00

Just yesterday, "Harry Potter" star Emma Watson announced that she would be the new celebrity face of Lancôme, and the starlet is wasting no time getting down and adorable. The 20-year-old was spotted today in Paris (a convenient hop, skip and a Chunnel ride away from Hogwarts), posing for her upcoming ad campaign. The starlet was snapped by famed photographer Mario Testino while sporting a variety of looks. Here, Emma's decked in a pale pink blazer, white lace shorts and a black tie, which coupled with her cropped locks exudes a funky, slightly androgynous appeal. But Emma hasn't become the toast of the red carpet for nothing! The actress also glammed it up, flaunting a slicked-back 'do, bright red lips and a seriously cute, peach mini-dress.

Now, we've seen Emma in preppy refinement (Burberry) and laid-back cool (People Tree), but we have a feeling this will be her most sophisticated (not to mention sexy) ad campaign yet! We can hardly wait to see the results!

Emma Watson quits college to focus on Harry Potter, acting and fashion ‎

2011-03-24T22:12:00.000-07:00

She became a household name playing extraordinarily intelligent bookworm Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise.

But Emma Watson has made a decision that her alter ego would certainly not approve of - she is postponing her studies at Brown university in Rhode Island to focus on her career.

The 20-year-old star made the announcement on her website today, telling fans that juggling the two has become 'a little impossible'.
She wrote: 'I've decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter [the last one comes out this summer] and to focus on my other professional and acting projects.

'I will still be working towards my degree... it’s just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought.

'As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I've had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible.'

Emma Watson on Harry Potter: “It’s a really very intense ending”

2011-03-24T22:11:00.000-07:00

With part two of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows landing in cinemas this summer, everyone is excited – even the cast.

In the final instalment of flicks, based on J.K. Rowling’s books, Harry finally confronts his enemy in an epic battle that pulls together all the loose ends of the saga.

“Your heart is going to race,” star Emma Watson said of the flick. “It’s a really very intense ending.”

Emma Watson teams up with Alberta Ferretti

2011-03-24T22:08:00.000-07:00

Harry Potter star Emma Watson announced earlier this week that she was taking time out from university because juggling her studies with acting and "other commitments" was proving "a little impossible".

A first look at her latest fashion collaboration, however, reveals that those "other commitments" don't appear to be suffering at all.Teaming up with Italian designer Alberta Ferretti - who shows her eponymous label during Milan Fashion Week - the pair have created a capsule collection of romantic, summer pieces made from organic cotton, muslin and hemp.

The first 'Pure Threads by Emma Watson Alberta Ferretti' collection comprises two dresses, a shirt, a maxiskirt and denim shorts, all adorned with lace embroidery to create a romantic, summery feel.

"I'm pleased that a luxury brand such as Alberta Ferretti has decided to create ecological clothes," Watson told WWD . "I believe this is a big step forward for all of the international fashion industry, but also an important step for an increased sensitivity to the problem of ecology."

Ethical fashion is an issue close to Watson's heart; part of the proceeds from the Pure Threads collaboration will be donated to the Fair Trade fashion label People Tree, for whom she previously designed three collections.

"I'm grateful Emma accepted this creative partnership that can contribute to fashion and to the health of the planet," said Ferretti. "She's an actress I've followed since her early days. I like her freshness, her spontaneity and simplicity. She is intelligent, with a strong personality, a young, modern girl of today but aware of social issues at the same time and very rigorous."

The pieces will be sold exclusively online at albertaferretti.com , from the end of March, and in keeping with the ecological values, even the packaging will be organic.

Meet "Pure Threads," the sustainable capsule collection from renowned Italian designer Alberta Ferretti and British actress Emma Watson.

Emma Watson reveals fashion adventure

2011-03-24T22:04:00.000-07:00

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has revealed that she likes to be adventurous with her fashion choices. The star, who is usually seen sporting a classic look admitted that she likes to try to be different, and has launched a new range with fashion designer, Alberta Terretti, which is called All Pure Threads.

The new eco-clothing line is said to be more of a reflection on her style.

Speaking to InStyle magazine the actress said, “My style’s definitely evolved. I usually go for classic, simple things, but then I have this adventurous side.“I’m always thinking and experimenting, and I make conscious decisions to try and support new talent and ethical fashion.”

The 20 year-old multi millionaire also claimed she likes to be in control of her vision.
She explained, “I love having control. My job as an actress is to bring to life another person’s vision, but with clothes, I can express my own creativity.

“And I wanted to be able to buy fashion knowing it’s not harming the person who made it or the environment.

“I’ve always been involved in art and I love fashion – it’s just something I really enjoy.”

Emma Watson Named New Face of Lancome

2011-03-24T22:02:00.000-07:00

Emma Watson recently hinted on Twitter that she landed a major beauty deal, revealing clues such as "This Pretty Woman was their latest recruit," followed by "It starts with an L and ends with an E. I'm sure you have guessed the new face of Lancome is me!"

And this morning the cosmetics company made it official, confirming that the 20-year-old Harry Potter star will join Julia Roberts, Penelope Cruz and Kate Winslet as a brand ambassador."Thanks to her charm, romanticism and her incredible modernity, Emma Watson has become the icon of her generation," said Youcef Nabi, president of Lancome International. "We are delighted by this new collaboration with Emma, who brings a fresh spirit to Lancome."

On March 7 she wrote this message to fans on her official website:

"As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I've had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible. I've decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter (the last one comes out this summer) and to focus on my other professional and acting projects. I will still be working towards my degree...it's just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought."

Emma Watson`s character Hermione named most popular fictional dream date

2011-03-24T22:01:00.000-07:00

Emma Watson's Harry Potter character Hermione Granger has been voted the most popular fictional dream date for teenage readers.

Rachel Russell, from World Book Day 2011, said: 'In the year that World Book day is focusing on helping teenagers celebrate books and reading, it's interesting to see what tastes and traits young readers today share with readers of the past.'

Emma Watson Reportedly Lands Lead in 'The Hunger Games'

2011-03-24T21:58:00.000-07:00

mma Watson announced yesterday that she was taking time off from Brown University to focus on her film career and the rumors started flying.

Has the Harry Potter star landed the lead role of Katniss in The Hunger Games?

That's the talk around town these days. Nothing has been confirmed yet as Oscar-nominated actress Hailee Steinfeld is also in talks for the role (as well as Kaya Scodelario, Chloe Moretz and Lyndsy Fonseca), but signs are pointing toward Emma now.

Ology originally picked Emma Roberts for our dream cast, but the other Emma will suffice. What do you think?

Emma Watson and Hussein Chalayan take on Fairtrade Fortnight

2011-02-24T20:57:00.000-08:00

If London Fashion Week left you salivating for style, the likes of Emma Watson, Hussein Chalayan and Holly Fulton should keep you satisfied with their new designs which will be launched as part of Fairtrade Fortnight.There’s nothing more dispiriting for the fan of fairtrade (equitable wages for workers and farmers in developing countries) than a rail of fairtrade cotton T-shirts sitting ignored in the corner of a high-street store.

Those days are passing, though, as fairtrade fashion grows up.

This month, it takes another hefty leap in the right direction with the Fairtrade Collective, which launches Fairtrade Fortnight (February 28 to March 13).

The Collective, an initiative of the Fairtrade Foundation, invites some of fashion’s most exciting designers to create jaw-droppingly desirable, digitally printed scarves out of fairtrade cotton.

Julie Verhoeven, Marios Schwab and Hussein Chalayan for Puma have joined the Collective, as well as young bloods David David, Tim Soar and Ada Zanditon. Rising star Holly Fulton reproduces her now-signature architectural print on one of the scarves.

‘It’s vital to use fairtrade cotton in a modern fashion through strong design,’ she says.

‘Hopefully, projects such as this will encourage that.’

Meanwhile, People Tree, a key player in the flowering of sustainable fashion, teams up with Laura Ashley, picking three prints from the British brand’s 1970s archive and turning them into vintage-inspired pieces, printed on 100 per cent organic cotton.

On February 28, actress Emma Watson launches her third and final collection with People Tree and on the high street, Topshop highlights the image of fairtrade with a festival-inspired collection.

Emma Watson: Clubbing in London
Kicking off her week with an evening of club-hopping, Emma Watson was spotted out and about in London, England last night (February 21).

The “Harry Potter” hottie was joined by a few protective friends as she hit up Bungalow 8 nightclub. Earlier in the evening she spent some time at the Groucho Club.

As for her new gig as the face of Lancome cosmetics, Ms. Watson sounds like she’s ready to get started.

"It's so exciting, I can't wait to start shooting. Although I don't wear much make-up, I'm a big fan of Lancome products, especially their mascara."

Watson scoops style icon prize
Emma Watson - who has graced red carpets with elegant glamour for almost half her life - has landed a top award as a "style icon".

The 20-year-old Harry Potter star, who last year showed off her dramatic change of image with a pixie crop hairstyle, landed the accolade at the Elle Style Awards 2011.

Filmgoers have seen Emma grow up in the public eye after being cast as frizzy-haired Hermione Granger when she was aged just 10.

The star - said to be worth £19 million thanks to her role in the wizard films and now an ambassador for French beauty brand Lancome - was being presented with the gong by designer Vivienne Westwood.

Watson said she was overwhelmed to be called a "style icon" and tried not to focus on having her style emulated by young girls. She said: "It feels amazing. Fashion is something that I love. I try not to think about it too much. I try and block all that off and I just do what I love and just have fun with it.

"I've definitely been feeling the pressure a bit more recently but it's just fun for me."

Helena Christensen said it meant a lot to her to receive the Outstanding Contribution to Fashion Award. The awards were hosted by TV presenter and model Alexa Chung at London's Grand Connaught rooms, where X Factor beauty Cheryl Cole was awarded the best music gong.

Danish supermodel Helena Christensen was presented with the award for outstanding contribution to fashion by designer Matthew Williamson.

Fashion guru and film-maker Tom Ford was named top international designer, while 28-year-old Christopher Kane was named best British designer.

Emma Watson And Dakota Fanning Might Be NYU’s Newest Child Stars

2011-02-24T20:45:00.000-08:00

Forget about the “Suite Life” twins — we’ve been keeping our ear to the ground, and there’s a good chance that NYU will have some real child stars joining its ranks next year.

Twilight fans can start surreptitiously preparing their iPhone cameras. Following a tour (as reported last spring), sources say that Dakota Fanning has been accepted early to Gallatin, and is expected to enroll next fall.Additionally, Harry Potter star Emma Watson was spotted touring Gallatin two days in a row last week, accompanied by school administration. Given her modeling career, New York would be a logical fit. Apparently, Brown students say that she’s not on campus anymore. That said, we’re fairly confident that if she decides to leave Providence and the Ivy League, it will have been thanks to Gallatin Bingo.

Emma Watson Is The New Face Of Lancome

2011-02-24T20:42:00.000-08:00

EMMA WATSON, the British actress and star of the Harry Potter movies, is the new face of Lancome, reports Entertainment Weekly. Watson, who was crowned 'Style Icon' at this week's 'Elle Style Awards', already has high profile contracts with the likes of Burberry and the ethical clothing line 'People Tree', and the latest deal is reportedly worth a six figure sum. The 20-year-old, who will front a forthcoming advertising campaign for the brand, said, "It's so exciting, I can't wait to start shooting. Although I don't wear much make-up I'm a big fan of Lancome products, especially their mascara". It is understood that the new print campaign will be shot by the world renowned photographer MARIO TESTINO and will debut next month.

Watson was presented with her Elle Award this week by the British designer VIVIENNE WESTWOOD, who joked on stage that she didn't know who the young actress was. According to Yahoo News, Westwood said, "I was given this text about this woman and how amazing she is, and yesterday I was asked, 'This lady would like you to present it to her if she wins. But I didn't know who she was. They said Emma Watson. I said, 'Who is Emma Watson?' I never watch television, I don't read fashion magazines".

Emma Watson is shy in stripes down London

2011-02-24T20:40:00.001-08:00

It's no wonder Emma Watson was a little camera shy this morning.. The actress was spotted out and about in London last night as she went clubbing at Bungalow 8, then joined friends and headed off to The Gaucho Club until the late hours.

Emma recently landed the face of Lancome cosmetics and said "It's so exciting, I can't wait to start shooting. Although I don't wear much make-up, I'm a big fan of Lancome products, especially their mascara."Marie Claire has reported that Emma will feature in a high profile advertising campaign and has received a six figure sum for the pleasure.

Emma will next be starring in Perks of Being a Wallflower with Logan Lerman and Oprah Winfrey. Its being pinned as a Musical Animation.. Emma, can you sing too?!

Emma Watson's new 'frenemy'

2011-02-24T20:37:00.000-08:00

Celebrities often specialise in odious behaviour to other celebrities. Back-handed compliments, passive aggression and faux concern are the standard tools of the celebrity frenemy. But Lipgoss's pet hate is when a celebrity pretends that they've never heard of another celebrity.

In this age of Wikipedia, you can become an instant expert on someone you had never heard of five minutes earlier. So the only reason for faking ignorance is to make yourself sound high above Kardashian territory."Sienna who? I'm sorry, I only associate with the likes of Sir Ian McKellan and Dame Judi Dench. And I'm afraid I don't own a television, have minions to read the internet to me, and wouldn't dream of sullying my fingertips with a flimsy tittle-tattle magazine. Fnarr, fnarr."

So we're disappointed that the grande dame of crazy British dressing, Vivienne Westwood, resorted to this petty tactic when presenting an award to Emma Watson, Harry Potter megastar and current darling of the British fashion scene.

All she needed to do was smile and say, "Nice frock, sister." Instead she rambled on, to the tune of, "I was supposed to welcome and to announce the winner of the Style Icon. They said Emma Watson. I said, 'Who is Emma Watson?' I never watch television, I don't read fashion magazines. They said she used to be in Harry Potter, and I said, 'I've never seen Harry Potter.' They said in the movies they have this girlfriend called Hermione and I said, 'Oh.'"

Emma Watson, being about a tenth the age of Viv, could easily say, "Who let this crazy bag lady in? SECURITY! Oh, I see. Sorry, but Vivienne WHO?"

Emma Watson Lands New Modelling Contract

2011-02-24T20:35:00.000-08:00

Harry Potter star, Emma Watson has made herself something of a fashion darling, modelling for Burberry and ethical clothing line, People Tree.

The actress' stylish ways were recognised at this week's Elle Style Awards where she was crowned Style Icon.And now the beauty world has followed suit with reports that Emma has been named the new face of Lancôme.

Marie Claire has reported that Emma will feature in a high profile advertising campaign and has received a six figure sum for the pleasure.

Of her new role, Emma said: “It’s so exciting, I can’t wait to start shooting. Although I don’t wear much make-up I’m a big fan of Lancôme products, especially their mascara.”

It is thought that the print campaign will be shot by the world renowned photographer, Mario Testino and will debut next month. We can't wait to see the photos!

Emma Watson's new six-figure deal for Lancome

2011-02-24T20:32:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson is about to sign a six-figure deal to become the latest ambassador for Lancome.

The campaign is to be shot by celebrated fashion photographer Mario Testino next month, and will feature Emma as the face of the French beauty brand in posters and TV advertising.

‘It’s so exciting, I can’t wait to start shooting,’

Emma, 20, said. ‘Although I don’t wear much make-up I’m a big fan of Lancome products, especially their mascara.’The fresh-faced actress will be quite a change from Lancome’s previous thirtysomething ambassadors, who have included Juliette Binoche, Uma Thurman and Julia Roberts.

The deal comes as Emma prepares to bid farewell to the Harry Potter series, in which she has played Hermione since she was ten, with the final film out later this year.

The star – who cut her hair short to mark the end of life as Hermione – will fit her Lancome role around studies at Brown University in America.

Emma was being her usual stylish self on Friday night at a party at the Almada bar in London's Mayfair in honour of Colin Firth and The King's Speech, the runaway success of this year's awards season, accompanied by movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.

Emma Watson Laughed in JK Rowling's Face!

2011-02-24T20:26:00.000-08:00

EMMA Watson was “absolutely mortified” when JK Rowling said she would have to kiss Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint in the Harry Potter films.

The billionaire author has revealed how she used to discuss what she was planning for the characters with the young stars of the film before she had finished the books, and Emma guessed the upcoming romance between her character and Rupert’s character Ron.“I was having a girlie chat with Emma in her dressing room about three or four years ago and she said, ‘I think I’m going have to kiss Rupert, aren’t I?’” Rowling said.

“And I told her if I write it the way I think I’m going to write it you’re going to have to snog both of them, (Daniel and Rupert) and she was absolutely mortified and rolled off the sofa laughing.”

“I was only 14 and the idea was absolutely… they’re like my brothers!” Watson added.

Watson — who has earned millions playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movie franchise — recently admitted she hasn’t got a clue how she wants to spend her money.

Who's That Guy, Emma?

2011-02-24T20:22:00.000-08:00

Where did he come from?! Where can we get one?! (Alright, we'll quit it with the Michelle Pfeiffer…)

Last night, Emma Watson stepped out of Bungalow 8 night club around 3:30 am, surrounded by friends, looking a bit tired, but friendly enough.

Hey, just because she was pAArtying hard, doesn't mean she has to be grumpy grump!Anyway, she scurried into a cab, but instead of her gaggle of over-protective buds hopping in with her, she was joined by this mystery man! We hear they got quite cozy last night and obviously, the snuggles were a go for the rest of the evening!

Emma Watson swaps Hogwarts for Hollywood

2011-02-24T20:20:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson has graduated from Hogwarts in style. She was at every party going over the Bafta weekend. And she certainly caught the eye of Hollywood executives and directors, many of whom would like to work with her. At the W, early Monday morning, Emma was perched on a banquette between Darren Aronofsky and Mark Ruffalo and his wife Sunrise.Certainly, Aronofsky listened intently to what she had to say, and perhaps he’ll toughen her up in a year or two in a movie about a ballet-loving female wrestler (OK, for you slow ones at the back, he made The Wrestler and Black Swan).

The 20-year-old was still chatting at 4.15am as organisers from the Weinstein studio and Momentum Films were desperate to go home.

The actress, who has played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films for half of her life — the last of which, The Deathly Hallows: Part 2, is released in July — has star quality in spades. She has a grace and style that’s rare.

Soon she will go before the cameras to film The Perks Of Being A Wallflower opposite Logan Lerman, while autumn will see the release of Simon Curtis’s film My Week With Marilyn, in which she has a small role opposite Michelle Williams and Eddie Redmayne.

Glamorous Emma Watson Wins Style Award

2011-02-15T04:26:00.000-08:00

Harry Potter star Emma Watson - who has been in the spotlight since she was 10 - has been crowned a Style Icon at the Elle Style Awards.

The 20-year-old avoided saying whether she sees her future in film or modelling but says she loves fashion and just wants to "have fun with it".

She did admit, however, she has "been feeling the pressure a bit more recently" to look good.

The star, best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Potter series, turned heads with a dramatic image change last year.

Alexa Chung, who was hosting the magazine bash in central London, commended Watson's bravery, saying: "I loved how she chopped her hair as soon as the Harry Potter franchise wrapped."

Watson's sense of style has been closely followed since she scored a multi-million pound deal with Burberry and launched her own range under the organic and fair trade label People Tree.

Dame Vivienne Westwood also cemented her reputation as the designer du jour as she presented Watson with the award.

In the thick of the awards season, the designer's creations are prominent on red carpets on both sides of the Atlantic, with A-listers such as Helena Bonham Carter championing her edgy and notoriously eccentric designs.

Westwood also had a hand in the next red carpet event of the showbiz calendar, the Brit awards, having redesigned the statuette.

The Elle Awards were not just about fashion, though, they recognised talent from across the entertainment industry.

Fresh from her Bafta win on Sunday, Natalie Portman picked up another Best Actress Award for her role as a mad ballerina in Darren Aronovsky’s Black Swan, a role for which she is hotly tipped for an Oscar.

Dermot O'Leary presented fellow X Factor judge Cheryl Cole with the Best Music prize. He told Sky News that Simon Cowell is keeping them all in the dark over his plans for the US version of the show.

O'Leary said he would love to do both "but choosing between them would be like choosing between my children".

Samantha Cameron - who is no stranger to such fashion events - presented Tom Ford with the gong for International Designer.

WINNERS:
International Designer: Tom Ford (presenter Samantha Cameron)
Next Breakthrough Talent: Noomi Rapace (presenter Danny Huston)
British designer: Christopher Kane Courtney (presenter Courtney Love)
Best Model: Coco Rocha (presenter Boy George)
Best Actress: Natalie Portman
Best Accessory designer: Emma Hill (presenter Thandie Newton)
Best Music: Cheryl Cole (presenter Dizzie Rascal / Dermot)
Best Jewellery designer: Dominic Jones (presenter Laura Bailey)
Next Young designer: Meadham Kirchoff (presenter Emanuela de Paula & David Gandy) Outstanding Contribution to fashion: Helena Christensen (presenter Matthew Williamson)
Style Icon: Emma Watson (presenter Vivienne Westwood)

2011-02-15T04:00:00.000-08:00

Actress Emma Watson landed a top prize at the Elle Style Awards.

The Harry Potter star was awarded the style icon gong by British British design legend Vivienne Westwood at the London bash.Watson, 20, said: 'It feels amazing. Fashion is something that I love. I try not to think about it too much. I try and block all that off and I just do what I love and just have fun with it.'

Elle editor Lorraine Candy praised the star for her approach to fashion.

She said: 'She’s got a very distinct individual look. We always say at Elle, 'It's not what you wear, it's the way you wear it' and she's got such spirit, Emma. I think that makes her stylish.'

Emma Watson named the new face of Lancôme

2011-02-15T03:58:00.000-08:00

As if life wasn't sweet enough for Emma Watson right now (what with a blockbuster film chain and an ethical clothing line under her belt) the young actress has just landed her first beauty contract, to be the new face of Lancôme.The rumoured six-figure deal will see Watson help move the brand towards a more younger market. The campaign will be shot by Mario Testino next month and will feature Emma in print and TV advertising.

'It's so exciting, I can't wait to start shooting,' Emma said. 'Although I don't wear much make-up I'm a big fan of Lancome products, especially their mascara.'

Emma Watson lands beauty deal

2011-02-15T03:56:00.000-08:00

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has been announced as the new face of beauty brand Lancôme.Following the choices of more mature spokesmodels such as Julia Roberts, opting for Watson to represent its products could hint at the brand's repositioning towards a younger audience.

Watson, who has previously starred in fashion ads for Burberry and has worked together with eco-friendly brand People Tree, has tried to distance herself from her role as Hermione Granger in Harry Potter by getting a new pixie haircut and wearing high-fashion brands on the red carpet. Her beauty ads - which will be shot by Mario Testino, no less - are likely to help her get noticed as a woman who's fit for "grown-up" roles.

Emma Watson's growing her hair

2011-02-15T03:55:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson tells ELLEuk.com she will have to grow her hair if she wants to keep attracting acting roles.

Emma Watson's pixie crop has caused much debate since she had it cropped last year. Some love it, others not so much. We all know the reason behind the cut - she has been contractually obliged to keep it long for the Harry Potter franchise of films, so last August after filming she went to the Cutler Salon in New York where hairstylist Rodney cut off her luscious lengths into the now famous pixie crop. A couple of days later she posted the news on her facebook page saying, 'Yes, I cut my hair off a few days ago! I love it - feels incredible.' But last night she confessed she may have to grow it out. 'I’m kind of looking forward to getting to a cute little bob stage. I am trying to grow it but it's slow, it's taking a while obviously. If I want to keep acting it's more flexible for me to have it longer for different roles, it's quite a specific cut.'

So you heard it here first. Team ELLE can't wait to see Emma's evolving hairstyles, watch this space.

Emma Watson's Wardrobe Malfunction

2011-02-15T03:50:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson has joined a long list of female celebrities who have had what has come to be known as a wardrobe malfunction. The term originated with Janet Jackson's infamous 2004 "boob flip" at the Super Bowl with Justin Timberlake. Since then, several stars including Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and American Pie girl, Tara Reid, have played tug of war with unruly garments and lost. Or, as in the cases of Li Lo and La Spears, they simply left home minus certain articles of clothing. Now, the Harry Potter franchise star has joined this illustrious sorority.

According to 411 Mania, Watson suffered a wardrobe malfunction on Sunday while attending a pre-BAFTA function. Exactly what caused the embarrassing incident is unknown. However, it seems that a piece of double edged tape slipped thereby exposing the actress's "assets." Watson, who was sitting in and exiting from a vehicle at the time seemed unaware of her wardrobe malfunction. Her two female companions seemed equally oblivious. How they maintained their composure in the glare of the paparazzi's flashbulbs is a mystery. On the other hand, perhaps the best reaction to the accidental exposure of one's intimate body parts is to have no reaction at all.

Emma Watson to star with Taylor Lautner in “Incarceron”?

2011-02-15T03:49:00.000-08:00

hollywoodnews.com: Rumors of Emma Watson co-starring in “Incarceron” have been afloat since early January, yet the commitment of Taylor Lautner has long since been confirmed. If it’s a go for Watson, the pairing will wield a strong pull over a related demographic, bringing Harry Potter and Twilight fans out in droves.“Incarceron” (an adaptation of Catherine Fisher’s teen novel) is the tale of a centuries-old prison—one fully sequestered from the rest of the world—that has come to sustain itself, with new detainees being born and dying within the prison walls. The 17-year old protagonist and prisoner of Incarceron, Finn (played by Lautner) endeavors to be the second man to ever escape.

Along the way he meets the warden’s daughter, who wishes to escape the place itself as well as her father’s expectations. It is this character–Claudia–who producers hope will be played by Watson.

Emma Watson Demands "No Nudity" Clause In Taylor Lautner Film Contract

2011-02-15T03:47:00.000-08:00

ust when things were looking up for multi-millionaire film star Taylor Lautner, his entire world has suddenly collapsed.

As the clock ticked past midnight and Lautner turned nineteen, he was told that his chances of getting into bed with Emma Watson this summer had suddenly been downgraded to one in ten million.After signing his contract to play opposite Emma in the new sci-fi prison movie 'Incarceron', Lautner was quietly informed that Miss Watson had successfully negotiated a 'no nudity' clause to be written into hers.

"This is a complete disaster", moaned Lautner. "I'd planned my whole summer around having a relationship with Emma. Then she has to go and do a thing like this".

"You've got to admit, it's a bit a kick in the teeth", agreed Lautner's pal Robert Pattinson. "I mean, a guy tries to organise these things in a straightforward honest way. Why do girls always have to go and complicate matters"?

Sex, drugs and bad-boys for Emma Watson!

2011-02-15T03:44:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson has bagged herself an acting role about as far away from Hermione Granger as Lindsay Lohan is from staying in and having a nice cup of tea and a biscuit.You might remember us being totally ahead of the game a few months ago when we told you about all the rumours that Emma would get this part, but it has now been officially confirmed by all sorts of important people that the delightful Miss Watson is to star in The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Emma Watson Confirms Role in 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'

2011-02-15T03:43:00.000-08:00

Nine months after people first started buzzing about Emma Watson starring in 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower,' the 'Harry Potter' star is speaking up. On Thursday, the 20-year-old actress used Twitter to confirm her newest movie role."Hi all, just wanted to tell you that for once a story in the papers is true!" she tweeted. "I'm filming Perks of Being a Wallflower this summer. Can't wait! x."

In May, we reported that Emma was considering the role in the Stephen Chbosky adaptation, and now we can definitely expect to see the British star on the big screen as someone other than Hermione.

Emma has been cast as Sam, the first love of the main character, Charlie, who will be played by 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' star Logan Lerman. The story, told through the perspective of a teenage outcast, will touch on some mature topics, so the film will be a big departure from what we've seen from both stars in the past.

When we asked you whether you were excited about the movie adaptation, almost 50 percent of you said yes, while others had not read the book or wanted more information about it.

Emma Wore Valentino Couture To The BAFTAs

2011-02-15T03:41:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson is usually one of our red carpet favorites, but she didn’t make our BAFTA Awards best dressed list this year. She donned a one-shouldered Valentino gown for the show, and it just didn’t quite work.The dress — part of the spring 2011 couture collection — is undeniably beautiful with its delicate pleats and exquisite floral print and lace detailing. While the train is awards show-appropriate, the large ruffle across the chest is just too too off the runway. We do think her gold earrings are rather rad, though.

Emma Watson and Logan Lerman Cast in Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower

2011-02-15T03:38:00.000-08:00

Summit Entertainment recently sent out a press release revealing that the film adaptation of Stephen Chbosky’s young-adult novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower is still happening, and that Emma Watson of Harry Potter fame and The Lightning Thief’s Logan Lerman will still star. The major news is that Chbosky will compose the screenplay and direct the film.

Chbosky has dabbled in other film projects, having penned the script to Rent, but this is the first time he’ll write and direct an adaptation of his own work—one of the few to get that opportunity.Logan Lerman will play Charlie, a teenager who begins associating with older outcasts that include Samantha, played by Emma Watson, who begins shooting this summer.

Emma Watson's Spring 2011 People Tree Line

2011-01-31T01:52:00.000-08:00

It seems that Emma Watson really has a knack for this fashion design thing. Looking at her latest and last People Tree collaboration, you can totally see that Watson has pushed the sustainable fashion label in a more, if you will, wearable direction.

The actress along with Safia, People Tree’s founder, and Misato, People Tree’s designer, started working on the Spring 2011 line last year up in Rhode Island just after Watson, 20, stated classes at Brown University. Matter of fact, she's actually been pretty hands on with People Tree since she signed on as the face of the Fairtrade brand in September 2009. But that's because she believes in the principal and power behind sustainable fashion.

"Fashion is a great way to empower people and give them skills; rather than give cash to charity you can help people by buying the clothes they make and supporting things they take pride in," she recently told a fashion publication. " I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren't many options out there.

And we totally agree. Now what was harder to agree on was what our favorite piece of the collection, which features jersey harem parents, blazers, dresses, tees, and tank tops, would be.

Emma Watson goes for the sultry look in her final collaboration with People Tree

It looks like Emma Watson's final People Tree collection will be the best yet, with the brand releasing a sneak-peek for the Spring/Summer collection.

Posing next to a motorbike, Emma looks sexy and sultry as she wears the thigh-skimming Sasha Drape Dress, £48, and and brown boots.

The 20-year-old has been extremely hands-on with the designing of the clothes ever since she was signed on as the face of the Fairtrade label in September of 2009.

Emma Watson In ‘The Perks Of Being A Wallflower’ To Be Picked Up Soon

2011-01-31T01:32:00.000-08:00

In my undying quest to bring you even the most arbitrary bit of news concerning Emma Watson, Summit Entertainment is close to picking up the adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower with Watson attached to star. Never having read the book (though I hear good things), I can only assume that it will kick major ass considering that it is often in the top ten of most banned books by the American Library Association. Controversial subject AND Emma Watson? I’m already lining up for tickets despite the fact that filming won’t begin until June. Summit is near picking up the tab for the film, with the original author, Stephen Chbosky directing off his own script. Watson will costar with Logan Lerman, he of Percy Jackson “fame” and the newest recipient of my unending hatred.

This is probably needless to say, but WOOOO!!! This is the first big career move post-Potter for Watson and it looks like a solid choice. I’m just glad she didn’t pull a Radcliffe and get naked up on stage.

Summit Wants Emma Watson and The PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER

2011-01-31T01:30:00.000-08:00

The widely anticipated PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER, starring Harry Potter’s Emma Watson, may have finally found its distributor. According to Vulture, Summit Entertainment (home of the Twilight franchise) is in talks to pick up the movie which could start filming as early as this coming June.Watson has been attached to the project since last May, when news broke that she would be starring in the film along with actor Logan Lerman. The movie is based on an adaptation of the novel by Stephen Chbosky, which, interestingly enough, Chbosky will direct himself from his own script. It focuses on a high school freshman named Charlie (Lerman) who writes writing anonymous letters to strangers about his life as a social outcast, with the exception of his friendship with a stepbrother and a stepsister (Watson.)

For awhile, the movie seemed to be independently produced by John Malkovich but no studios had come forward to pick up the project. Although there is no formal announcement on Summit’s decision to pick up the film, there are rumors that one could come as early as next week.

Emma Watson reveals her final collection for People Tree

2011-01-31T01:28:00.000-08:00

Striking a pose against a battered old motorcycle in draped black mini-dress, paired with calf-grazing pirate boots, Emma Watson's third and final collection for People Tree possesses more than a whiff of rock 'n'roll glamour.Keen to shed the goody-two-shoes image of her Harry Potter character Hermione Granger, the 20-year-old actress has opted for a music-festival vibe for her last spring/summer 2011 collection.

"I designed the collection last year after I'd started university in the US," Watson revealed. "Safia, People Tree's founder, and Misato, People Tree's designer, came out to work with me in Rhode Island. Together we decided on all the colours, fabrics, shapes and craft skills. Most of all, we took care to design a really wearable collection that truly celebrates the traditional skills of People Tree's fair trade groups around the world."

Taylor Lautner Loving Emma Watson in Incarceron?

2011-01-31T01:24:00.000-08:00

Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner has had the role of Finn in the big screen adaptation of Incarceron for a while, but now it’s looking like he might be close to finding out who his love interest is.

Ace Showbiz is reporting that Emma Watson is a possibility for the role of Claudia, but the former Hermione Granger might have to fight for it. Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) and Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone) are also strong possibilities for the role.The novel, Incarceron, was written by Catherine Fisher and involves a prisoner (Finn) and the warden’s daughter (Claudia) joining forces to break out of the living prison known as Incarceron. Yes, the warden and his daughter are confined to the prison, too. It’s a really good book and you should give it a try.

It might not be a fair way of choosing, and I do hope the part of Claudia goes to whoever is actually best for the role, but the producers and director might want to also consider something. Harry Potter and Twilight have been two huge movie franchises and having a major player from both of those series’ would have fans of both adventures swarming to the theater.

Actress Emma Watson, who earned millions playing Hermione Granger in the " Harry Potter" movies, doesn't know how to spend her money.
"I have way too much money to know what to do with it," showbizspy.com quoted her as saying. "I bought a laptop, and a Toyota Prius when I passed my driving test, but that's the most expensive things I've spent my money on outside my education," she added.

Watson also admitted that she prefers being single as she would not make a good girlfriend.

"It's rubbish being my boyfriend. People are constantly coming up to me, I'm always working. I don't have a boyfriend at the moment. It feels good, actually. It's nice to be selfish," she said.

Watson made about $17 million from the Harry Potter films.Watson told the Daily Star that she had run out of ideas on ways to spend her mass fortune. Apparently, Emma Watson's biggest expense is her college education at Brown University! Watson may only be 20, but it's clear, she has a solid footing on reality.

The actress stated, "I bought a laptop, and a Toyota Prius when I passed my driving test, but that's the most expensive things I've spent my money on outside my education."

There are many people who could easily squander their fortune on trivial things. However, it seems Emma Watson is far removed from the pleasures of material things. It's good to see someone transcend their wealth and stay as down to earth as she has.

What would you do with $17 million? Would you splurge on jewels and brand-named items? What about giving away some money to charity? Perhaps, Emma Watson will consider shelling out some of her fortune to help those who are less fortunate.

It's given that Watson's fortune can only grow from here. With her talent and intelligence, there's no way Watson will ever stray down the wrong path.

Emma Watson has one complaint about her super star salary.

She has too much money! In fact, the Harry Potter star, who is reportedly worth a whopping $32 million, says she has so much money she doesn’t know what to do with it.

After splurging on a laptop and a Toyota Prius—two items she claims are her most expensive purchases to date outside of her education—Watson admits she has no idea what else to spend her fortune on.

And while she says it’s nice to be selfish referring to her single gal lifestyle.
Her conservative spending habits imply she’s anything but when it comes to cashing in!

We can’t say we feel too bad for the 20–year-old actress.
And if she ever needs someone to spoil.

British actresses conquer Hollywood but which one is your choice?

Emma Watson has become famous for playing the role of Hermione Granger, one of the three main characters in the Harry Potter saga.

Watson was chosen to play Hermione at the age of ten. Since then she has appeared in all of the films in the series.

Since November 2010, Emma has been preparing for film My Week With Marilyn film, scheduled for 2011, where she plays the role of Lucy, one of Marilyn Monroe’s costume designers.

Watson’s work on the Harry Potter series has earned her several awards and more than £10 million. Despite the focus on filming, Emma maintains high academic standards. In June 2006, Watson took GCSE examinations in 10 subjects, achieving eight A * and two A grades.

Last year in September, a tabloid ran a cover story about a possible love triangle involving Emma Watson, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson. Apparently, rumors said that Stewart was uncomfortable about the future collaboration between Watson and Pattinson for their upcoming movie Darc Arc. The Harry Potter star had previously accused the Twilight saga of selling sex.

For this year’s New Year celebrations, Emma partied in the U.S. and not in England. She was seen in California, looking lovely and fresh, upon arrival at Los Angeles, despite a rather long flight between London and the City of Angels.

“Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Can’t believe it’s New Year’s Eve on Friday – where has the year gone??!” she recently tweeted.

The star spent Christmas with her family while working a little, since scenes from the last Harry Potter movie had to be re-shot.

The young actress, who had sacrificed her long hair at the end of the filming for the saga, had to give a little more work to the team of hairdressers, so that she could regain the look of Miss Granger.

Emma Watson also photographs well

2011-01-05T03:34:00.000-08:00

Remember last week how we had some nice photos of Megan Fox taken by someone named Mariano Vivanco? Well, that photographer also apparently took some pictures of Emma Watson.And now I share. I guess these were for something called Stylist magazine. Anyone? Is it a magazine for hairstylists? And if so, how much does a celeb like Emma get paid for something like that? I just hope that it wasn’t for hairstylists because to be honest I really don’t want to see a bunch of babes running around in boy haircuts trying to look like Emma, thankyouverymuch. Only she can pull it off, and barely at that.

Emma Watson's latest People Tree pieces

2011-01-05T03:32:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson is modelling for ethical fashion label People Tree for another season.

She may be one of the world's highest earning actresses and a student at Brown's University stateside, but Emma Watson is fast making a name for herself in the world of ethical fashion. Fair Trade champions People Tree have just released pics of the Harry Potter star modelling the second collection of pieces that she has contributed to. Already in stores, the range features everything from pretty dresses and slouchy T-shirts to cool checked shirts and chunky knits, all made, of course, from Fair Trade fabrics.

Emma hasn't designed the collection but she has taken her role as collaborator very seriously. She even accompanied People Tree's founder, Safia Minney, on a trip to Bangladesh where she got to see the difference between factories in the slums and the Fair Trade factories where the label makes its clothes. 'Having seen the slums in Dhaka and the conditions in which these people live and work to produce 'fast fashion', I would say to those people that this is not the way we should be making clothes in the modern world,' she said. 'These workers have no rights and work every hour of the day just to feed their families. Fair Trade gives families the option to stay together, rather than one or both parents having to move to cities, and they are paid a fair wage. It empowers people and doesn't take away their dignity.'

I learned from Potter actors

2011-01-05T03:31:00.000-08:00

Ciaran Hinds has praised Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint for their professionalism on the set of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

The actor, who portrays Albus Dumbledore's brother Abeforth in the final instalment of the wizarding series, said that the young stars helped ease his mind as he got the hang of how things worked on the film's hectic set.
"I'll tell you, being on set on Harry Potter was nerve-wracking. It was surreal to be in a room with those three kids, all of whom know exactly what they're doing," he told the Daily Record.

"And then there's you, who has been around for a long time, and they're the ones putting you at ease and making sure you know what you're doing on set."

Hinds added that he found it "bizarre" to watch the cast's approach to shooting.

"It was bizarre. But it was also really interesting to see things from that perspective. With every job, you're typically looking for the director to make sure you're doing the right thing but with Emma, Rupert and Daniel, that has become part of their psyche," he recalled.

It’s easier to be single

2011-01-05T03:29:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson thinks she would make a useless girlfriend as she’s always working.

The 20-year-old British actress has grown up on screen due to her reoccurring role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter film franchise.As a result of her fame the starlet is forever linked to eligible bachelors but she is quick to dismiss the intense speculation. Emma believes that its better that she remains single for now as she’s just too busy to commit to anyone.

“It’s rubbish being my boyfriend. People are constantly coming up to me, I’m always working,” she explained. “I don’t have a boyfriend at the moment. It feels good, actually. It’s nice to be selfish.”

Despite her denials Emma has to contend with constant rumours over who she may or may not be dating. The actress is happy for speculation to mount providing it doesn’t alter the public’s perception of her.

Emma Watson Reshooting Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

2011-01-05T03:27:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson’s latest Facebook update revealed some surprising news. She recently posted, “Hi guys, are you all ready for Christmas? Not long to go now… Exams all done and I’m back in the UK in 6 inches of snow! Currently at Leavesden filming reshoots with Dan and Rupert. Feels strange to be back! X”.Looks like it might be a little more difficult to leave Hermione Granger behind than originally thought, and speaking of Hermione, I wonder if any eagle-eyed movie watchers will be able to spot the wig in the re-done scenes because the pixie cut (as cute as it is) just doesn’t work for the part. I guess it really doesn’t matter since the scene in questions involves a lot of make-up anyway.

The re-shoot involves the epilogue scene that wraps up the second part of The Deathly Hallows, according to AceShowBiz. There was apparently a problem with the make-up that makes the characters look a lot older than they’re supposed to be in the scene. The epilogue takes place just 19 years after the time-frame of the actual story so they don’t need too many years added on.

Watson dresses for herself

Harry Potter’s actor Emma Watson says she does not like being a fashion victim and dresses only to please herself. The Harry Potter star admits that her role in the film helped her become a global fashion icon but Watson says she likes to have fun with her style and would never dress to please critics, Contactmusic reported.“I just dress for me. Fashion is something I genuinely enjoy. It’s a way of expressing yourself. It’s a lot of fun and I hope it’s not going to get to a stage where I feel argh, clothes, how stressful! It’s become a way of life and I’m meeting amazing new creative designers all the time”, said Watson.

Despite being worth millions, the 20-year-old star says, “For a premiere, I’ll wear designers like Chanel or Balenciaga and if I am going casual, I will prefer to mix and match.”

Emma Watson catches the Tube

2011-01-05T03:23:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson thinks it's funny when people recognise her on the London Underground. The 20-year-old Harry Potter actress told British newspaper Metro: 'The funny thing is people look at me and go: 'Is that the girl from Harry Potter?' And then they shake their heads and say: 'No, it can't be, she's on public transport.' And I'm sat there secretly thinking: 'Ha Ha that's funny.''Watson, who studies at US Brown university, also said she doesn't know what to do with all her cash.

She added: 'I have way too much money to know what to do with it. I bought a laptop, and a Toyota Prius when I passed my driving test, but that's the most expensive things I've spent my money on outside my education.'

EMMA WATSON whizzed her way over to Los Angeles for New Year's Eve.

2011-01-05T03:20:00.000-08:00

The Harry Potter actress cut it close to the countdown on her flight. Fortunately she managed to make it back to the States, where she's studying, in time to enjoy the magic of New Year. Maybe she should have rented a broomstick from Hogwart's?

While Emma enjoys herself across the Atlantic, rapper EXAMPLE has been jokingly making a play for her via his Twitter page.

The rap star tweeted: "Emma Watson is so ******* rich she could buy Hogwart's."

He later added: "How Old is Emma Watson? Is she single? I'll sign a pre-nup."

Emma Watson's Marie Claire cover is the first moving magazine cover

2011-01-05T03:18:00.000-08:00

EMMA Watson is used to mystical goings-on starring as Hermione in the Harry Potter series.

Now the 20-year-old actress is the first moving magazine cover girl in the US Marie Claire.The magazine launched an iPad app which transformed her glamorous December cover shoot to a moving version.

During the clip, Emma is seen posing with her hand on her shoulder in a floral white top and she is seen trying to stifle giggles as she flutters her eyelashes at the camera.

Emma completed filming of The Deathly Hallows Part 2 earlier this year bringing an end to the work that she has had since the age of 10.

"To be honest, I've always had far too much freedom. I had a job when I was 10. I started living on my own when I was 17 or 18," she said.

"I've earned my own money; I've travelled the world. What would I rebel against? I've had so much freedom, sometimes it was hard."

First Look At Emma Watson In 'My Week With Marilyn'

2011-01-05T03:15:00.000-08:00

The film stars Michelle Williams as Marilyn Monroe, and focuses on the troubled screen icon's relationship with Colin Clark, an Oxford graduate she met on the set of her 1957 film The Prince and the Showgirl.Along with the Oscar-nominated Williams, Watson’s other heavy-weight co-stars include Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, Julia Ormond, Derek Jacobi and Dominic Cooper.

Potter returns to theaters in darkness

2011-01-05T03:14:00.000-08:00

Potter returns to theaters in darknessThe film adaptation of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" will premiere in two parts: Part 1 was released Nov. 19, 2010 and Part 2 will be released July 15, 2011.

The opening weekend of the anticipated first installment brought in a whopping $339 million in the worldwide box office, according to The Kansas City Star. Part 2 will likely rank just as high.

Nine years ago, families across the globe watched Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson enter Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as the lonely Harry Potter, witty Ron Weasley and whip-smart Hermione Granger.

The Deathly Hallows begins with the beloved trio of Potter, Weasley and Granger, though it is no longer a jovial return to Hogwarts. A new feeling of dread comes through in the shadowy setting and character development.

Here, the legendary Lord Voldemort and his evil army of Death Eaters are gaining power.

The movie begins as the jaws of Voldemort's snake open to consume a Hogwarts professor, but stops short as the trademark title brightens the screen and the teeth close.

There is an increased element of evil, darkness and violence worthy of its PG-13 rating, but if children read the books it is appropriate. They would be the first to say book seven is the grimmest.

"This is scary," Bereklee College of Music sophomore Melanie Donnelly said. Having read all of the books in her youth, there is compelling reason to see the movies through. "Imagine if that was in 3-D," she said of the snake and shudders.

Audiences of all ages will not be disappointed.

Like the six previous movies, the characters come alive through the screen. One cannot help but jump when they jump, laugh when they laugh and cringe when they cringe at the magic brought to life by director David Yates.

There is, however, a sense of monotony in some respects.

Scenes where Harry, Ron and Hermione apparate to numerous destinations in search of Horcruxes — objects in which Voldemort has stored his soul — become tiresome, but closely follow the text.

Suspense is built up immensely during the final scenes, and it is easy to find yourself on the edge of your seat as the ending speeds things along. Duels, danger and death rush the movie to the credits almost too suddenly.

This feels a bit anti-climatic, but for those tickets to sell and for devoted fans to find closure, we will all wait for Part 2.

Emma Watson Back as Hermione Granger for Harry Potter 7 Re-shoot

2011-01-05T03:12:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson, thinking her days as Hermione Granger were behind her, chopped off Hermione’s trademark long hair and headed off to college, but Hogwarts can’t be left behind that easily.Emma recently updated her Facebook page, letting fans know that she, along with Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Tom Felton, were headed back to the UK to re-shoot some scenes for the final film, saying, “Hi guys, are you all ready for Christmas? Not long to go now… Exams all done and I’m back in the UK in 6 inches of snow! Currently at Leavesden filming reshoots with Dan and Rupert. Feels strange to be back! X.”

According to ClevverTV, Emma and the rest of the gang had to re-do the final scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part Two because there was a problem with the make-up that made it look like a lot more than 19 years had passed from the earlier scenes in the film.

The re-shoot isn’t expected to cause any delays so the movie is still expected to be in theaters on July 15th, 2011.

Emma Watson First Model for Living Magazine Cover

2011-01-05T03:08:00.000-08:00

The December 2010 U.S. Marie Claire magazine cover has a bit of magic to it so it’s only fitting that Harry Potter’s Hermione Granger, Emma Watson, is the cover girl.In the magical world created by J.K. Rowling, pictures and paintings move with a life of their own and now, according to Just Jared Jr., we can experience a bit of that wonder in real life with iPad’s very first living magazine cover.

On the cover, Emma is sitting with her hand on her shoulder, but instead of being frozen in time, this image shows her moving around and blinking. Magic or technology? The two are almost the same.

In addition to Emma’s living cover image, the app also features Joanna Coles, Editor-In-Chief of Marie Claire, speaking to readers to commemorate the special occasion, as well as a behind-the-scene look at Emma showing off her new and stylish pixie cut.

Emma Watson Dons Wardrobe Assistant Dress for 'My Week with Marilyn'

2010-12-12T06:35:00.000-08:00

A first image of Emma Watson from her latest movie "My Week with Marilyn" has gone online. Brought out by The Daily Mail, the shot sees the actress, who is famous for portraying Hermione Granger in "Harry Potter", donning a chic cardigan as she plays Lucy, an assistant in the wardrobe department at Pinewood studios in 1956.

A biopic of Marilyn Monroe, the film is based on a memoir by Colin Clark, who worked as Laurence Olivier's assistant on the picture "The Prince And The Showgirl". He penned a diary that charted nine days of close contact with Marilyn. In the diary, he includes a story about skinny-dipping with the bombshell in the Thames and taking her to visit his godfather at Windsor Castle.20-year-old Emma will star opposite Eddie Redmayne whose leading character Colin is dating hers. Joining Emma and Eddie in the cast ensemble are artists including Michelle Williams, who has been slated to portray Marilyn, Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench, and Dominic Cooper who is going to play Marylin's business partner Milton Greene.

Producer Harvey Weinstein expresses his excitement to see Emma in this Simon-Curtis directed film. He told The Daily Mail, "For ten years she has been this schoolgirl in the Harry Potter films and now you see her as a woman for the first time." He added, "She has an elegance about her - she looks like Jean Shrimpton! - plus she has a gift for comedy and drama, and we're just starting to see her range."

Harry Potter cast had to re-shoot scenes after emotional goodbyes!

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are back on set to re-film the final scene of the last ever Harry Potter flick. Even Platform 9 3/4 came out of storage. HURRAY!

The famous Harry Potter three were called back to the set this week after the director decided they looked too old in the final cut when they're all made up to be middle aged. They were apparently all more than happy to see each other again even though they'd already gone through all their tearful goodbyes.

Bit awkward, surely?

In the edit the director thought they looked practically ancient rather than middle-aged when they're all at the station sending off their own kids to Hogwarts. They've had to re-shoot the whole scene, complete with the train and the station.

We would say something about the cost - but we don't really think that would have been an issue. Daniel alone is worth £45million. We're sure he could lend them a couple of quid.

Aren't they all going to have to go through the crying, weeping goodbyes again though? Apparently it was a proper hug-a-thon when it ended before. They've all worked together for a decade after all. Since they were miniscule children - not even real people.

We reckon they should just slap each other on the back this time around. Or do the whole 'you thought I was going to shake your hand, but I'm actually going to do the nyah nyah nyah face with my hand stuck to my nose' thing.

Movie memories we'd like to obliviate - 2010 edition

2010-12-11T06:10:00.000-08:00

Watching Hermione obliviate her poor Muggle parents into forgetting she ever existed during Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 brought tears to my eyes, and not just because of the pain on poor Emma Watson's face. Deep down inside part of me wept because no matter how hard I try, I'll never be able to magically erase my own excruciating memories -- those vivid, lingering visions of the worst crimes committed against cinema in the past year alone.So here's the next best idea; I'll share these movie memories with you and together we can banish these awful, embarrassing viewing experiences to the darkest reaches of our collective minds, never to be remembered again

Emma Watson and Harry Potter co-stars to re-shoot crucial final Deathly Hallows scenes

2010-12-11T06:08:00.000-08:00

When Emma Watson chopped off all her hair into a daring pixie crop in August, it was a sign that she had finally left Hermione behind.

But now it seems the makeover was a little premature, as she and her Harry Potter co-stars are called back to re-shoot scenes for Deathly Hallows: Part 2 over Christmas.

The 20-year-old described in a recent interview how she and co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint broke down on the final day of filming.I cracked first, obviously being the girl,' she told the Daily Mail last month. 'Dan cracked second, then Rupert - we were all in floods of tears.'

But even though they were sad to leave behind something that had defined their childhoods, the three stars have all expressed relief that it was over.

So they may have been a little irritated to have to return to Platform 9 and 3/4 to re-shoot the important closing scenes - which take place 19 years in the future.

As fans of the books remember, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, as well as Ron's sister Ginny, return to King's Cross station to send their own children off to Hogwarts for their first year of school.

Emma Watson in the search of a wig!

2010-12-11T06:05:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson's new look with cropped hair has troubled Harry Potter bosses.

Now producers are searching for a Hermoine wig for Watson, as they have to re-shoot a few scenes of the in Part Two of the 'Deathly Hallows' movie, reports the Daily Star.

Emma, 20, has earlier said her new look was her way of saying goodbye to Hermione after 10 years with long, wavy hair.

Does Emma Watson Need a Wig?

2010-12-11T06:03:00.000-08:00

A pixie-haired Emma Watson wowed at last month's penultimate "Harry Potter" premiere but the freedom she gleaned from the cute haircut may have been short lived. Seems that the actress and her co-stars have been summoned by Warner Bros. to re-shoot closing scenes for the "Deathly Hallows: Part 2."

"I’ve been on Harry Potter for ten years now, so I felt the need to mark the end of it in some way – I needed some way to say to myself, 'Right, you’re entering a new phase of your life now,'" Watson told the Daily Mail of her cropped hair. "I needed a change, and that’s what the haircut is about." True, but how's she going to play bushy-haired Hermione when she doesn't have any hair? There is some wiggle room to be had... The scene set to be re-filmed over the holidays, involves Hermione, Ron and Harry 19 years after they graduated from Hogwarts as they send their children off to their first year at the wizarding school. Makeup artists will age Watson well beyond her normally youthful look and will have to scramble to find a middle-aged Hermione hairstyle on a suitable wig (can anyone imagine perky Hermione with gray hair?). But if there's anyone who recognizes what it takes to make a film look its best, it's the young crew at Harry Potter, who spent the past decade filming the series. "We only had two days to shoot it and we needed so much more time than that," Watson said, adding understandingly that "We have re-shoots at Christmas."

Emma Watson Kills Us With Christmas Cuteness

2010-12-11T06:01:00.000-08:00

As if we couldn't love Emma Watson any more than we already do, she has to do this.

Just like last year, the adorable Harry Potter star manages to get us into the holiday spirit by once again posting a cute video on her website.

"Hi guys! I just wanted to send you a message to say Happy Christmas," a smiling Emma says. "I hope you're having an amazing holiday and just thanks for everything. Merry Christmas!"

She then proceeds to blow a kiss into the camera. Yep. Gotta love her.

I'm "Addicted to Knowledge"

2010-12-11T05:57:00.000-08:00

NEW YORK (CBS/AP) Emma Watson may be leaving Hermione Granger behind on the film set, but not in her heart - the actress says the two share a similar passion for learning.

Watson, whose character in the Harry Potter movies made it cool to be a studious teacher's pet, says she's "addicted to knowledge" and motivated to keep learning while doing other film projects.

Watson, who has played Hermione for more than half her life, is currently a sophomore at Brown University in Rhode Island where she is majoring in history. Unlike many of her young Potter costars, she chose to continue her education after graduating from high school."I love learning. I'm just addicted to knowledge. It just like, makes me happy. It keeps me motivated," she said in an interview while promoting her latest film, the first installment of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

Education, she continued, is a vital part of life.

"I don't think that by doing these movies I know everything. I just feel like that's the point of being alive, to try and understand the world that's around you. And it just keeps me in touch with real life," she said.

While some stars like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton pass on college to pursue their high-profile careers, there are others like Watson, who not only make time for college but have graduated from prestigious universities.

Kissing Emma Watson was tricky

2010-12-11T05:54:00.000-08:00

Rupert Grint has revealed that his kiss with Harry Potter co-star Emma Watson was a bit tricky.

But the 22-year-old actor said that despite some initial awkwardness, the smooch ended up feeling quite natural.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Grint explained, 'The kiss happened quite naturally. It was quite a tricky kiss, a bit strange, but quite sweet really,' he said. 'It was just one shot, but we had about six takes. It was all right, yeah. Easy after the first take.'

He also admitted that he wasn't prepared for how upsetting the end of the franchise would be.'It felt like the last day at school, packing up all the stuff in my dressing room, all the old toys still there from when I was 11. I'd underestimated how emotional it would be. We all cried,' he said.

Harry Potter is not the end of my career

2010-12-11T05:52:00.000-08:00

Actress Emma Watson does not understand why people are treating the end of the Harry Potter series as a bad omen as she is eagerly waiting for new opportunities.

The 20-year-old actress, who starred as wizard kid Hermione Granger in the franchise for more than ten years said that she was sad but at the same time felt a huge sense of relief as she can't wait to see what future holds for her, Contactmusic reported.

"People keep saying to me, 'So this is the end, how do you feel about it being the end?' And I'm like, 'It really doesn't feel that to me.' It feels like the beginning. It's actually really an exciting time for me rather than this kind of the end.

"I can't stand everyone calling it the end. I'm 20 years old. Seriously. It feels like I've been handed my life back, like I've been let off a leash," said Watson.

While the British beauty is looking forward to a future without Harry Potter, she is clueless about the career path after she completes her education"."People are constantly like, 'What are you going to do?' 'What is your career plan?' 'What direction do you want it to take?' 'What roles do you have lined up?' And I'm just like, 'Sorry, I haven't got everything mapped out, I'm only 20.' And they look at me as if I'd have this perfectly calculated life plan and how I want my career to look. And I really don't know yet. I'm still open to possibilities," she added.

Beauty Emma Watson shines in lace

2010-12-11T05:51:00.000-08:00

Lace is the go-to trend for the festive period. Throw on a black lace dress and your sure to wow at any event, just like Emma Watson did at the Harry Potter première.

Okay, I do understand that her dress was designed by Rafael Lopez and we are more likely to buy one from River Island, but it doesn't mean that they will be any less beautiful.

The high street has a never ending supply of look-a-likes and this trend is no different, Marks and Spencer have a version of Watson's frock for a nifty £89.

Dolce and Gabbana have forever instilled lace into their collections, adding subtle touches to their clothing, making women feel that little more sexy. Gucci, Miu Miu, Louis Vuitton and Chanel all included the material in their winter designs this season.However, not all lace this winter needs to be in the form of a dress. A small hint in a skirt or top is equally as stylish. Next have beautiful lace shirts that will look great, day or night paired with a leather pants or shorts, this is bang on trend and takes ultimate inspiration from Christopher Kane.

But if you want a head-to-toe look, that's not a dress, take a risk like Leighton Meester and wear a jumpsuit. Her off the shoulder, see through Marchesa jumpsuit shows that she is one of the celebrities to lead the fashion pack.

Steer away from Morticia Addams and avoid the lank black hair and black lips. Instead use colour on the lips and a loose up-do which is effortlessly cool, and ultimately stylish.

Emma Watson wanted to quit Harry Potter!

2010-12-11T05:49:00.000-08:00

Emma Watson may be one of the most popular young actors; she may be globally renowned at barely twenty but there was a time when she contemplated quitting Harry Potter (HP). That was when she was 16 and had her initial contract got renewed. After the shooting of the 5th installment, HP and the Order of the Phoenix, she had the option of pulling out of the franchisee and indeed, she was quite tempted to do the same.

The reason for that was the ugly, negative side that the films had ushered her in. Despite growing up, she had to behave like a school girl and was always told about what to do and what not to do. She laments that she would always get told what time she would get picked up or what time she could have her meal.
Emma regrets that she often felt miserable and powerless because her life was not in her control. She also recalls how she and her co-stars went completely cold and wet for months while shooting the runaway scenes in Deathly Hallows.

She calls this phase as the most intense and grueling period of film-making. However, now curtains have fallen on the series and she feels liberated and happy.

Emma Watson’s magical transformation

2010-12-11T05:45:00.000-08:00

LONDON—The premiere was for a movie about a boy wizard but the one making all the magic was 20-year-old Emma Watson.

Best known for playing bossy Hermione Granger (and earning the equivalent of $32 million Canadian in the process, making her Hollywood’s highest-paid actress), Watson has grown from a frizzy-haired 10-year-old kid in oversized sweaters into a chic, fashion-forward young woman. She sported a new, short pixie cut in the red carpet for the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 on Friday and made the front page of all the London papers the next morning.“Bewitching,” one headline read. “Em’s black magic,” said another, a nod to the figure-hugging, black lace minidress with inky feathered hem that Watson wore with such confidence.

“Thank you. Thanks very much,” Watson told the Star graciously when complimented on her new look.

Emma Watson shares Hermione's passion for learning

2010-12-11T05:44:00.000-08:00

LONDON (AP) — Emma Watson may be leaving Hermione Granger behind on the film set, but not in her heart — the two share a similiar passion for learning.

Watson, whose character in the Harry Potter movies made it cool to be a studious teacher's pet, says she's "addicted to knowledge" and motivated to keep learning while doing other film projects.

Watson, who has played Hermione for more than half her life, is a sophomore at Brown University in Rhode Island where she is majoring in history. Unlike many of her young Potter co-stars, she chose to continue her education after graduating from high school.

"I love learning. I'm just addicted to knowledge. It just like, makes me happy. It keeps me motivated," she said in a interview while promoting her latest film, the first installment of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."

Although the Potter films have enabled Watson to travel the globe and work with many critically acclaimed actors, she said she doesn't feel like she has learned enough yet. Education, she said, is a vital part of life."I don't think that by doing these movies I know everything. I just feel like that's the point of being alive, to try and understand the world that's around you. And it just keeps me in touch with real life," she said.

Hermione, the frizzy-haired smarty-pants heroine in the Potter series, battles evil witches and wizards with brainpower and magical skill. She makes it cool to love learning — a refreshing role model for young girls bombarded by too-cool-for-school attitudes often seen in TV shows or tween novels.

Back in the Muggle world, Watson must balance life between her acting career and her rigorous studies at an Ivy League school, which she says is "not easy".

"I think I'm going to have to work very hard over Thanksgiving. I've got like three or four days off, and I'll have a lot of reading to catch up on," she said.

Watson acknowledged there has been some "cross-pollination" between herself and Hermione and says she will miss playing the role tremendously — but it's time to enter a new stage.

Emma Watson steps out in studded-sleeve trenchcoat

2010-12-11T05:41:00.000-08:00

She's making a name for herself with an increasingly individual and eclectic fashion sense.

And Emma Watson didn't disappoint yesterday when she stepped out in New York wearing a very stylish Burberry trench coat with studded sleeves.

She also carried a matching black studded bag to complete the whole edgy look.

She wore a very unusual thigh-skimming ink blot minidress underneath that showed off her gamine figure to perfection.

And the Rorsache test-inspired design shows that the Harry Potter star isn't afraid to play with unusual and untraditional looks.

Emma wore the dress and the Burberry jacket as she arrived at the New York studios for the David Letterman show, where she was a guest last night.

And for the show itself, she changed into a vibrant sparkling red and black dress.It looks like the 20-year-old is developing a real passion for fashion - she recently revealed that she will be collaborating with design house Alberta Ferretti.

With an established line for People Tree already to her name, this will be her second design venture.

Emma says ‘She [Alberta] wrote to me and said, "I saw what you did with People Tree and I think it’s a great idea and will you do something with me?"'

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has teamed up with Alberta Ferretti to design a brand new line of clothes.

"We are doing an organic clothing range. I can't reveal the name yet but there will be more information about it soon," UsMagazine.com quoted Watson as saying in London.

As for the creative inspiration behind the collection, Emma shared it’s ‘very classic, 60s Jane Birkin’.

Ferretti first contacted Watson after learning about the actress's People Tree organic clothing line.

“She wrote to me and said, ‘I saw what you did with People Tree and I think it's a great idea and will you do something with me?’,” Watson said.She jumped at the chance to work with the famed designer -- and revealed that she would work with anyone who also shared her passion for organic, ethical clothing.

“I will put it out there that I will work for anyone for free if they are prepared to make their clothing fair trade organic,” the actress said.

The collection will make its debut before the last Harry Potter is released.

‘Harry Potter’ stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson said they would not star in the film series again – even if another book was written. The actors have spent the past decade making the wizarding franchise but think that ten years is enough. The author, JK Rowling, said on the ‘Oprah Winfrey’ show that the series might not end at seven novels as she was tempted to write more.

But Watson, 20, who plays the character Hermione Granger, said she would turn down the role. She told Scholastic magazine: “Oh, my goodness – no, I wouldn’t return, it feels so complete what we’ve done. It would just be weird, no way – it would just be really strange.”

And Radcliffe, 21, who plays the lead boy wizard role, isn’t too keen on the idea either. He added: “No, probably not is the answer because 10 years is enough, I think the films have reached a rather perfect and wonderful conclusion.”

The seventh and penultimate flick ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part One’ will be released next month, with its sequel coming next year.
