Emma Watson On Life After ‘Harry Potter’

Written by Violet on June 14, 2011 – 8:57 pm -

A glamorous look from Emma Watson gets your attention on the cover of the July issue of Vogue.

The 21 year-old actress reveals her struggle with balancing all of her projects and education, her love of the artistic life, costar Daniel Radcliffe, how James Franco helped her figure things out and how she wants control after Harry Potter:

On the Harry Potter ‘bubble’ and Breaking Free: “I have had no control over my life … I have lived in a complete bubble. They found me and picked me for the part. And now I’m desperately trying to find my way through it.”

On Inspiration from Patti Smith: “I want to live like Patti. I want to write like Patti … The book [her 2010 memoir Just Kids] was so honest and brave. I loved the way she sees the world. I really felt that life was more beautiful after I read it, and I felt more hopeful.”

On Daniel Radcliffe: “He understood what his role was … not just as an actor but as the leading man in this enormous franchise. And I think that was almost more important in a way. He held it all together. I am very grateful for him.”

On Getting A Helping Hand From James Franco: “It was such a relief to speak to someone who is trying to do the same thing I’m doing. I talked to him about juggling studying and making films and going backward and forward. He’s not afraid or limited by what he fears people will say about it.”

Emma Watson Denies Brown Bullying In New Message

Written by Gossip Gal on April 30, 2011 – 4:22 am -

Harry Potter star Emma Watson recently decided to leave the Brown University, sparking rumors that she was being bullied by her colleagues. The 21 year-old wanted to set the record straight and clean the image of Brown students.

WATCH: ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2′ Trailer

Emma was not bullied! Emma says was never bullied in her life, which I find it really hard to believe. Anyhow, Emma just wants to take some time off to try to figure out what to do with her life and the next step in her academic career.

Dear All,

I felt the need to let you all know the reason I took a semester off from Brown had nothing to do with bullying as the media have been suggesting recently. I have never been bullied in my life and certainly never at Brown. This ’10 points to Gryffindor’ incident never even happened. I feel the need to say this because accusing Brown students of something as serious as bullying and this causing me to leave seems beyond unfair.

Please don’t try and speculate about what I might do in September – no one can possibly know because I don’t even know yet! Like my other fellow Brown students I am trying to figure out my third year and whether or not I will spend it abroad (this is common).

I hope you all liked the new Harry Potter trailer. I am off to Pittsbugh soon to start “The Perks of being a Wallflower”. I’ve just got back from hanging out with Stephen Chobosky (the director and writer), Logan and Ezra (the two other principal actors) and I already know this is going to be an incredible experience. I feel very lucky.

Hope you are all doing good.

Take care,

Love Emma xx.

Best of luck, Emma!

Emma Watson Covers Mexico’s Seventeen Magazine (November 2010)

Written by Gossip Gal on October 18, 2010 – 7:22 pm -

Harry Potter star Emma Watson graces the cover of the latest issue of Mexico’s Seventeen Magazine (November 2010). The 20 year-old actress, who recently got a dramatic makeover when she chopped off her hair, talked about her fame, a normal day in her life, different challenges and love.

Is Emma Watson Trying To Steal Robert Pattinson From Kristen Stewart?

Emma gives some good advice about what to wear and how to behave on a date – two words “Be Yourself!” Here are some highlights from Emma Watson’s Seventeen Mexico interview:

Is it easy to pick up when someone likes you because of your fame?
You can tell immediately when that’s the case. I try not to worry about it too much, otherwise I wouldn’t give myself the chance to meet anybody. I’d neve be able to trust people again and I wouldn’t want that.

It seems like you have everything. You’re famous but you try to have a normal life for someone your age. Is something missing in your life?
I need to have more fun, like anyone my age! I’m always working, I’m addicted to work. My head needs to rest.

What’s a normal day in your life?
I don’t have an ordinary day because I’m trapped between two different lives. One day I’m filming, th next I’m off to college, the next day I’m home, then I’m designing clothes. There are no typical days for me.

After Harry Potter what has been your biggest challenge?
My first day in college. I didn’t know anybody, I was very nervous, in a new country. Actually I didn’t want to leave my room. I’m so proud I’m over it.

What is the best outfit for a date?
Something that suits you, that looks good on you but at the same time special. You’re already stressed out enough when you go out with someone you like, so you shouldn’t wear uncomfortable shoes or a dress that you can’t breathe in.

Any love advice?
I’m probably not the right person to answer that. I think you should be yourself because otherwise, you’ll be on the wrong path and the results are not gonna be pretty. Be yourself, be honest. Don’t take it too seriously, that’s been one of my biggest mistakes. You’re young, just have fun!

Emma Watson Denies Feud With Kristen Stewart

Written by Gossip Gal on September 30, 2010 – 5:49 pm -

Harry Potter star Emma Watson vehemently denied the rumors that she was feuding with Twilight star Kristen Stewart for actor Robert Pattinson’s attention. Emma is currently single and apparently not looking for love… at least not intentionally, but if things happen… it happens!

Is Emma Watson Trying To Steal Robert Pattinson From Kristen Stewart?

Emma’s rep told Celebuzz, “This is a complete case of mischief making.” Really? I don’t know. Emma, Rob and Kristen sound like one hot dramatic love triangle, in which Kristen is probably the weakest link. Who cares? Robert doesn’t!

In fact, Robert might be trying to avoid females in general with a new caveman look and beard. Come on. Robert looks like a guy who hasn’t showered in ages. It’s scary. I bet Kristen likes it, but Emma probably doesn’t.

Anyhow, I digress. There is no love triangle… for now!!

Is Emma Watson Trying To Steal Robert Pattinson From Kristen Stewart?

Written by Gossip Gal on September 29, 2010 – 7:19 pm -

Actress Kristen Stewart is scared that Harry Potter star Emma Watson is trying to steal her boyfriend, actor Robert Pattinson, from her because Emma and Rob are rumored to star in a new steamy movie together, “Dark Arc”.

Emma Watson Caught In Her PJs During Dorm Room Evacuation

Rob starred in the first Harry Potter movie and he knows Emma for a long time. Emma is older, probably smarter and more interesting than Kristen, so the Twilight actress is starting to feel insecure. Kristen doesn’t want to lose her man.

A source told Heat Magazine: “Like all girls, Kristen can be very jealous and possessive, and in her mind Emma poses a threat. Rob has commented before on how cute he thinks Emma is and Kristen worries that he would have more in common with her because she’s British.”

Oh! But there is more. Apparently Kristen was mad when she read about those comments Emma made about Twilight selling sex instead of substance. Kristen took it as a personal attack.

Harry Potter’s Emma Watson Slams Twilight!

The source added: ‘Emma really took it up a notch when she made that comment, like she’s telling the world Kristen is a bimbo and she’s a real lady with poise and talent. She hates being thought of as a sex symbol or being valued for that over her talent, so Emma got her right where I hurts.’

Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson Caught Kissing… FOR REAL!

Cat fight! Cat fight! Who should Robert choose? Emma Watson or Kristen Stewart? I think we already know the answer – Rob and Kristen are absolutely madly, deeply in love!

Emma Watson Caught In Her PJs During Dorm Room Evacuation

Written by Gossip Gal on September 29, 2010 – 6:20 pm -

Actress Emma Watson, who looks super elegant with her short pixie haircut, was forced to leave her dorm room at around 10 am, while she was still in her Union Jack pajamas.

Why? There was an emergency evacuation after the Olney House fire alarm went off at the Brown University on Tuesday (September 28), but it was just a false alarm. A leaky steam pipe triggered the alert system and, fortunately, no one was injured.

Ah! Ah! The situation is hilarious. Well, no one got hurt and we got to see another side of the Harry Potter star. Emma is such a natural beauty. Gorgeous! And classy even in her pajamas!
