18 year old Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, was photographed in a bikini and flirting with a man believed to be Jay Barrymore, her 27 year old boyfriend.
The pair were caught canoodling while vacationing in Ibiza for the summer with Bee Shaffer who is the daughter of Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief for American Vogue.
These images were allegedly taken off of Bee’s Personal Facebook account.
There are many ways to measure talent in Hollywood. But for the authors of “Hollywood Babylon: It’s Back,” size is everything.
Borrowing the title of filmmaker Kenneth Anger’s classic scandal bible, authors Danforth Prince and Darwin Porter have dared to publish the pictures and stories too explicit and actionable for even the pulpiest supermarket tabloids.
Among those featured in full-frontal shots are Mick Jagger, Daniel Radcliffe, Ewan McGregor, John Malkovich, James Woods, Richard Gere and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. We leave it to you to decide whether all the snaps are authentic.
The authors also write about the reputed size of many other stars in the book, due June 1. Johnny Depp was known as “donkey d-”, they say. Sean Connery posed nude for art studies, and one student said:”It was the biggest I’ve ever seen. It made me drop my charcoal pencil.”
Dishing with abandon, the authors spare no one - especially not the dead, who can’t sue. Lack of sources don’t stop them from claiming:
Marilyn Monroe had an affair with Ronald Reagan. The authors also claim Monroe had a tryst with Joan Crawford but refused to make it an ongoing affair. “She had bad breath,” Monroe allegedly told roommate Shelly Winters. “Besides, she wanted to do things to me that no woman should do to another woman.”
James Dean showed a disconcerting interest in a 12-year-old boy in the early 1950s. Director Elia Kazan believed the tale: “I’ve known many actors who have been twisted up in their sex lives, but never anybody as sick and unhealthy as Dean was.”
Elvis Presley had a gay old time with Nick Adams, who played Johnny Yuma in the hit TV series “The Rebel.”
Lucille Ball launched herself into show business as a hooker, and her husband Desi Arnaz had a fling with Cesar Romero.
Cary Grant had an incestuous relationship with his stepson, Lance Reventlow.
Sir Winston Churchill got “musical” with actor and songwriter Ivor Novello.
Strange things happened to Judy Garland’s body (this in the chapter on “Fan Worship and Necrophilia”).
Police believed Bette Davis killed her second husband, Arthur Farnsworth, by hitting him on the head and causing a hemorrhage that lead to his death two weeks later. But a grand jury - six men who confessed to being ardent fans - found her innocent.
At 23 LeBron James is giving Kobe Bryant a run for his money. Literally. The basketball player is about to become the NBA’s high paid player. A 4 year contract worth $60 million is in the works to keep him happy with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Currently he is banking about half of that. With endorsement deals from Nike and Coca-Cola he is set to break the $100 million marker combined with his 4 year contract. Reggie Bush came in second on the payroll with $24 million followed by Maria Sharapova with a million dollar difference. Michelle Wie took 4th with a $19 mill paycheck for golfing.
Media moguls Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen bring home a around $17 million per twin. Not bad being that their last film was in 2004. The bulk of their income stems from their Wal-Mart line that caters to the boho loving Olsen tween crowd. Hollywood rehab queen, Lindsay Lohan, earned around $3.5 mill before heading to several strings of rehab sessions. Odd being that just about everything she touches turns into a flop.
Younger still is Dakota Fanning. She has almost half a million for every year she has been alive. At 13 her starting rate is at Least $3 million per film. Fellow youngster Miley Cyrus is only 15 and could buy a boat, a million dollar home, her weight in shoes and a baby elephant with money left over to purchase hair extensions made from flying ponies. One album banked $3.5 million dollars, which will be a meager sum compared to her latest tour that kicked off last month. In order to score tickets to her alter ego concert you have to sell your first born on the black market.
Harry Potter himself is a rich bitch. Daniel Radcliffe just broke 18 years on this earth and has $15 million dollars at his command. Co-stars Emma Watson, who has become a Chanel queen, and Rupert Grint are also not hurting for cash. They each could write a $4 million dollar check that wouldn’t bounce. The threesome have more money coming their way with two more Harry Potter films on their way.
Avril Lavigne crooned out about $12 million in crappy songs this year . Her album “The Best Damn Thing” became an international hit. Meanwhile the country/pop queen Carrie Underwood cashed in around $7 million. Paid to party Paris Hilton “earned” $6.5 million just for being a pelvis princess.

‘Harry Potter’ star Daniel Radcliffe is happy to have sex with girls who are only interested in him because of his fame. The 17-year-old actor insists he is too young to settle down and is keen to take advantage of any groupies he has.
“Girls who want to go out with me just because I’m famous has never been a problem. I’m 17. I don’t care. Obviously, if I wanted a deep and meaningful relationship then I wouldn’t want to be going out with somebody who is only with me because I’m an actor, but if you don’t a relationship like that then it’s fine.”
However, Daniel is adamant he wouldn’t stay with a girl who called him Harry during sex.
“People do call me Harry. I once had a friend call me it by accident. If there’s another person in the room called Harry and somebody shouts their name I do respond slightly, which is embarrassing. But no one has ever said it in the throws of passion. That would be the end of that session. Go now!”
What about dressing up? A wizard with a big wand can be hot.
TEEN film star Emma Watson is about to do a vanishing act from Hogwarts — because the Harry Potter films have lost their magic. Huh?
The pretty 16-year-old, who plays key character Hermione Granger, wants a spell doing other roles. She has REFUSED to sign a new contract, plunging the final two movies of the JK Rowling novels into crisis.
The feisty young actress has told producers that even doubling her pay packet to £2 million a movie won’t do the trick. Filming on the sixth film in the series — Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince — is due to start in months.
Daniel Radcliffe is already signed up to star as the quidditch-playing wizard and Rupert Grint will again play Harry’s best pal Ron Weasley. He told us: “Emma doesn’t want to do it any more. She’s tired of being known as ‘that girl from Harry Potter’.”
She was shocked when a besotted fan stalked her at school.
Rupert added: “Daniel and I are distant from her now. We don’t text or talk to her when we are not filming.”
Their last film together — Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix — comes out in July.
Film makers Warner Brothers confirmed Emma, has not signed for more movies.
Harry Potter V, will prove to be another mega hit. Rumor has it that one of the lead characters will die.
“We probably got it on the 30th take. My God, it was fun. We were awkward and nervous at first but once we got it, it was fine.” -Daniel Radcliffe who plays the character of Harry Potter
HARRY Potter fans have been given a sneak preview of the latest movie with the release of the first stills from Order of the Phoenix, the fifth film in the series based on JK Rowling’s books.
In one image, Daniel Radcliffe, the actor who plays the young wizard, is seen crouching in an grimy alleyway as he attempts to defend himself from an attack by the Dementors.
In another, Imelda Staunton, who plays Dolorees Umbridge, the latest teacher of the dark arts, stands in Hogwarts school wearing a pink tweed poncho. Maggie Smith, as Minerva McGonagall, clasps her arms round Emma Thompson, looking uncharacteristically frumpy as Sybil Trelawny.
David Bradley is also back as Argus Filch, the caretaker and bane of Harry’s existence, in a role he has played since Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone in 2001.
Here are some additional cast members.

The sixth instalment in the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, is to follow in November 2008.
Children’s author J.K. Rowling has revealed that at least two characters will die in the seventh and final installment of her bestselling Harry Potter series, but was careful not to say who.
[...]
Rowling has already said that the final chapter of the seventh book was written long ago. “The final chapter is hidden away, although it’s now changed very slightly,” she said in an interview broadcast on Monday on Britain’s Channel 4. “One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn’t intend to die.” When asked to be more specific, she added: “No, I’m not going to commit myself, because I don’t want the hate mail or anything else.”
She did explain that she understood an author’s desire to kill off the main character of a successful series. “I’ve never been tempted to kill him (Harry) off before the end of book seven, because I always planned seven books and that’s where I want to go. “I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks ‘Well, I’m going to kill them off because that means there can be no non-author-written sequels … so it will end with me, and after I’m dead and gone they won’t be able to bring back the character’.”
Rowling, 40, wrote the first Harry Potter adventure when she was an unemployed single mother, but has gone on to become one of the richest authors in history with a personal fortune estimated at more than $1 billion. The Harry Potter series has sold an estimated 300 million copies worldwide.
“The last book is not finished. But I’m well into it now. I wrote the final chapter in something like 1990, so I’ve known exactly how the series is going to end,” she said.
Some characters might die, but the blockbuster movie franchise lives on. Warner Bros. Pictures has announced that the fifth installment will be released in U.S. theaters, including Imax screens, on July 13, 2007. In “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” directed by David Yates, the teenage Harry continues to battle the evil Lord Voldemort (again played by Ralph Fiennes) and his followers. Daniel Radcliffe is returning as the title character, and Emma Watson and Rupert Grint reprise their roles as Hermione and Ron. Oscar-nominated actress Imelda Staunton plays the malicious, frumpy Professor Dolores Umbridge, who tortures Harry.

Whatever she writes next, Rowling is sure of one thing: It won’t be as successful as Harry Potter. “I don’t think I’m ever going to have anything like Harry again. You just get one like Harry.”
“Girls who want to go out with me just because I’m famous has never been a problem. I’m 17. I don’t care. Obviously, if I wanted a deep and meaningful relationship then I wouldn’t want to be going out with somebody who is only with me because I’m an actor, but if you don’t a relationship like that then it’s fine.”
