Emma Watson has made so much money over the last ten years after playing Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series that she never has to work another day in her life, but that isn’t stopping her because she has just been cast in the new ‘Beauty and the Beast’ movie.
ComingSoon.net are reporting that Emma has been cast to star in Guillermo Del Toro‘s adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, but that’s all the information that is available about the movie for now although if it’s anything like his movie Pan’s Labyrinth then it should be a pretty dark adaption of the Disney classic.
Emma also has two under movies on the way out first up is ‘My Week With Marilyn’ that co-stars Michelle Williams and is due out in the fall and then there is next years ‘Perks of Being a Wall Flower’.
As well as these movies she has her modeling campaigns going on so she is the perfect choice to Belle in the new movie, who do you think should play the Beast though?
Daniel Radcliffe started out as Harry Potter at a young age so it should come as no surprise that he has admitted to turning to alcohol to help himself enjoy life during the filming of the last two Potter movies.
Radcliffe, who was sprung into stardom at 11-years-old, is featured in the new issue of GQ magazine and in it he admits to turning to alcohol and then becoming “reliant” on it to have a good time.
Although he says that he didn’t plan on becoming the next childstar to go off the rails so he hasn’t had a drink since last August and instead likes to enjoy quiet nights in with his girlfriend, who is rumored to be Olive Uniacke - the stepdaughter of Harry Potter producer David Heyman. Here is what he says:
“I became so reliant on [alcohol] to enjoy stuff. There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person’s lifestyle that really isn’t suited to me. I’m actually enjoying the fact I can have a relationship with my girlfriend where I’m really pleasant and I’m not fucking up totally all the time.
As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn’t work for me. I do that very unsuccessfully. I’d just rather sit at home and read, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh. There’s no shame in enjoying the quiet life. And that’s been the realization of the past few years for me.”
It’s good to see that he has realized that he doesn’t need alcohol to enjoy life, now wouldn’t it be marvelous if Lindsay Lohan also came to this conclusion? Speaking off Harry Potter, MovieFone have got their hands on some new unseen footage from the upcoming final installment of the franchise. Here you go:
Thoughts? I’m not the biggest Harry Potter fan but I’m really excited for this movie.
As you can see above the first official poster for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two has been released through the official Twitter account for the movie.
In the poster Daniel Radcliffe squares up against Voldemort to get fans excited for final battle between the two when the movie gets released on July 15th. I’m not a big fan of Harry Potter but I am looking forward to this movie.
Alexander Ofner, a 39-year-old man from South Carolina, has been arrested for allegedly masturbating during the latest Harry Potter movie.
The Bluffton Police Department received a phone call reporting Alexander from someone who was in the movie theater watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The police officers went up to the projection booth and found Alexander sitting in the back row “touching his genitals,” he was arrested on the spot for indecent exposure.
Of all movies to masturbate at, I never thought of Harry Potter. Some people are freaks.

Have you ever watched a movie and thought to yourself that you’ve seen it before? Then it hits that you have seen it before except it just has a different name and different actors. Here is a list of 10 of the biggest Hollywood rip off movies in history.
10. Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Rips Off: Harry Potter
Percy Jackson is so shamelessly banking on spill-over Harry Potter success that it employs the director of the first two Potter flicks (Chris Columbus), features a “camp” for magically-powered kids called “Camp Half Blood” (“Prince” is it?), and even uses the same font for the poster art. What’s worse, these books started as equally Potter-wannabe young adult novels, so their lack of originality can be traced back to the shelves at Barnes & Noble.
09. Smokey and the Hotwire Gang Rips Off: Smokey And The Bandit
Seriously, this movie stopped just short of hiring a Burt Reynolds look alike. If you’re going to cobble together rednecks, fast cars, and lots of hip-at-the-time CB slang, the least you could do was NOT PUT “SMOKEY” IN THE TITLE. Rejected titles included Bandity Bandits Who Smoke Smokey and The Police and the Outlaw.
08. Ghoulies Rip Off: Gremlins
The horror genre is generally one of the most cannibalistic (OK, OK…haw haw) genres around – wearing out trends like mall-hopping teenagers. So it’s not totally surprising that the success of Gremlins spawned (again, we know) a bunch of “tiny killer critters” flicks. Like Ghoulies (and, well, Critters too)—both just Chinatown-level knock-offs of Joe Dante’s horror comedy.
07. Mac & Me Rips Off: E.T.
his is a rare case of a movie rip-off doing its inspiration one better. Sure, Mac and Me – lonely young boy befriends a cute and kindly alien and then runs afoul of government agents – at first doesn’t have an original bone in its body. But then it hits you with a full-on car chase involving a kid in a wheelchair. Yes—cars v. wheelchair. Even Spielberg didn’t have the brass ones to pull that off.
06. Varsity Blues Rips Off: Friday Night Lights
F.W. Murnau originally wanted to adapt Bram Stoker’s Dracula, but the late author’s estate nixed the idea and a quick-thinking Murnau changed his lead vampire’s name from Count Dracula to Count Orlok and his movie from Dracula to Nosferatu. Why is this relevant? Change “classic vampire novel” to “well-regarded football book” and “genius silent film director” to “the guy who did Norbit” and you’d pretty much have the story of how Varsity Blues hit theaters before Lights.
05. Sleepway Camp Rips Off: Friday The 13th
Once again, you have to give credit where credit is due. Sure, Sleepaway apes Friday right down to the poster art, but where Friday gave you this classic bait-and-switch (spoiler if you’re 8 years old): “The killer is actually Jason’s mother!” Sleepaway hits you with: “The female killer is really a psycho boy raised as a girl by his deranged aunt, and here’s a full-frontal of his dong to prove it!”
04. Hollywood Knights Rips Off: American Graffiti
George Lucas’ breakout film was clearly made in response to his own childhood, growing up as he did in the thick of California’s 50s and 60s car culture. Hollywood Knights was clearly made by someone who saw American Graffiti and felt it needed more boobs, penis jokes, and farts. And Tony Danza.
03. The Monster Squad Rips Off: The G
A pack of aimless kids (one a smarty pants, one a wise ass, one fat, etc) with a specific obsession (pirates/monsters) find they have to face their obsession head-on in order to save their lives and their hometown. One of them befriends a freak (Sloth/Frankenstein) who turns on his original team and helps the kids win. Yeah. Not even trying, this one.
02. King Solomon’s Mines Rips Off: Raiders Of The Lost Ark
This is another prime example of the “telltale font.” King Solomon isn’t so much hoping that kids who saw Raiders will think this is more of the same, they are actually aiming at near-sighted shut-ins who wander into whatever theater is open after staring at the sun for 30 minutes.
01. Galaxy Of Terror Rips Off: Alien
This list would not be complete without a mention of Roger “Hey, Let’s Do That, Only With a $50 Budget” Corman. Galaxy of Terror could easily be dismissed, if not for the mind-blowing collection of people who worked on it: Actors Ray Walston (yes, My Favorite Martian), Erin Moran (Joanie from Happy Days), Sid Haig (Captain Spaulding from The Devil’s Rejects) a young Robert Englund (duh!), and Zalman King (yes, the future soft porn maestro behind Red Shoe Diaries), not to mention a production designer and a set decorator named, respectively, James Cameron and Bill Paxton (who would go on to make Aliens, which actually seems to borrow some ideas from Galaxy, making th
e Alien sequel some kind of genius meta-rip-off). Oh, it also has a scene where a woman is raped to death by a giant slug and is kinda, sorta into it.

The official trailer for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” has finally been released along with some new photos.
The final installment from the franchise is going to be split up into two parts, obviously because they want to cash in on the movie even more, the first one will be released on November 19 and the second will be released July 15th 2011.
Yes we are going to have to put up with Potter mania for another whole year. Both parts of the movie will be released in 3D, again because they can cash in more from those expensive ticket sales. But I have to be honest, I would take Harry Potter over the Twilight crap any day of the week. This trailer actually looks really good.

Rupert Grint, who’s played Harry Potter’s devoted pal Ron Weasley onscreen for the past nine years, recently watched his first-ever sex scene in a movie – with his parents at his side.
How awkward!
“It was agonizing.
The scene’s quite tastefully done, but it’s not the sort of moment you really want to share with your mum and dad.”
And the reaction of the folks?
“When the scene arrived we all sat there not really saying anything.”
Grint says his shocked parents didn’t know his gritty new film about sex, drugs and stolen cars, Cherrybomb, even included such a naughty scene. Luckily for the young redhead, “Afterwards nobody talked about it, which was kind of a relief.”
Grint says next time, he’ll “be fearless.”

I was looking around for interesting images the other day, and happened upon one of my favorite pictures of Anne Hathaway (which is on this list). The most noticeable feature of the picture is the incredible side boobage that seems to leap from the image and scream “gaze upon me in all of my glory, for I am side boob.”
What is it about the side boob that is so appealing? Is it the hint of what lies just out of reach? I tend to appreciate a good side boob more than a great under boob image, although some men (and women) may disagree.
Even Peter Griffin of Family Guy appreciates a flash of side boob:
Regardless of your boob preferences, most mammary aficionados like myself will have to agree that boobs are mounds of beautiful goodness no matter what side or angle they are viewed from!
So without further ado, I present to you my choices for the top ten celebrity side boob images of all time.
#10 Elisha Cuthbert
Elisha Cuthbert played the hot porn star with a heart of gold in The Girl Next Door and also played as Jack Bauer’s daughter Kim in the awesome series 24.
#9 Jennifer Connelly
Jennifer Connelly starred opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in Blood Diamond and Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind. She is without a doubt one of the most beautiful women on the planet. Well, I don’t doubt it, at least.
#8 Emma Watson
Emma Watson is best known for playing Hermoine in the Harry Potter series. Who would have thought she’d grow up to be so gorgeous?
#7 Brooke Burke
Brooke Burke was the host of Wild On! and Rock Star, and won season 7 of Dancing with the Stars. She’s also ridiculously hot.
#6 Joanna Krupa
Joanna Krupa is a model who also loves animals and blah blah blah, PETA ads, look, boobies!
#5 Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway began her career in the 1999 TV show Get Smart before appearing in the Disney films The Princess Diaries (1 and 2) and Ella Enchanted. She then decided to let it all hang out in Havoc before starring in The Devil Wears Prada opposite Meryl Streep (who will not be appearing on this list).
#4 Eva Mendes
Eva Mendes first hit my radar when she starred in Training Day with Denzel Washington, and since then I will pretty much watch any piece of crap (ahem… Ghost Rider) that has her in the credits.
#3 Christina Aguilera
Beautiful songstress Christina Aguilera has gone through a dozen different looks, from pinup model to sexy bad girl to transvestite, but the picture above is the look I like best on her. By that I mean naked.
#2 Angelina Jolie
I struggled long and hard (heh) before deciding to make this picture of Angelina Jolie number two. I like her so much more as a person than I do the person I picked for the first place spot, but this isn’t my “top ten nice celebrities that do cool shit for poor people and adopt enough children to start their own country”. It’s all about the side boob.
#1 Katherine Heigl
My number one choice for this post is this picture of Katherine Heigl. I think the only thing I’ve ever seen her in was Knocked Up, where I thought she must be the sweetest woman ever. Judging by reports from costars and anyone else that has had the misfortune to spend more than five minutes working on a film or Grey’s Anatomy with her, however, she can be a complete bitch.
Oh well, that is one fantastic side boob.
So there you have it, folks. My top ten greatest celebrity side boobs ever. Or as Kanye West would say “OF ALL TIME!”
Think you know of any that should have been included here? Let me know in the comments below!
