When you are one of the richest young actors in the world, what do you do with that money? Some party it away and others make smart choices for their future. Daniel Radcliffe is looking ahead and has purchased several properties in New York City as investments. He has an apartment in SoHo, a three bedroom condo with a view of the Hudson river and now he has a townhouse in the Greenwich Village area. The actor is back in the UK filming the final installment in the Harry Potter franchise: Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. He may eventually end up living in one of these homes when he returns to Broadway next year but for now he is a just a young, talented landlord. The picture below is the interior of his new house. Sweet.

As his 21st birthday approaches, (August 24th,) Rupert Grint fans wanted to do something special to commemorate his day. His UK-based fan site RupertGrint.org got together with him and his family to chose a charity to support, the one to sponsor in his honor: Teenage Cancer Trust.

Every day in the UK, up to 6 teenagers or young adults (between the ages of 13 and 24) will find out they have cancer that is approximately 2,100 new cases a year. These young people, in the midst of their already difficult journey to adulthood, suddenly find themselves faced with a possible life-threatening illness and very often receiving treatment in inappropriate facilities with inadequate support options. Teenage Cancer Trust grew by chance, out of the eagerness of a group of women to organise a fashion show to fund a children’s intensive care heart unit at Guy’s Hospital, London. The fashion show was a resounding success and the women, high on the adrenalin of triumph, were ready to take on the world. Little did they know - they had!… The women went on to raise funds to build the very first TCT unit at the Middlesex Hospital in London in 1990.”

Donate what you can, either money or time to help out this cause and give Rupert a great 21st birthday present.

Hollywood business arrangements are often complicated and messyand now Disney starlet Vanessa Hudgens is embroiled in a lawsuit with a former producer who she feels is misrepresenting his status with her. Producer Johnny Veira had orignally sued the High School Musical  star however that suit was settled on April 29th, 2009. Hudgens legal action contends:

[...] false advertising and appropriation of name and likeness, by using photographs of Hudgens on his company MySpace page, ones that suggest she’s an active client.  Viera is also accused of violating their prior settlement agreement.

He’s also banned from “falsely holding himself out to the public as someone with whom Hudgens is currently signed.”

Injunctions, damages, and other serious monetary penalties are being asked for as compensation for Hudgens. We will keep you updated as we find out more.

After a very successful trip at the end of May of this year, England’s Prince Harry may visit the United States more often to continue to garner support for his charity Sentebale. While in New York City last month the charming Prince, who is third in line to the British throne, was able to raise quite a bit of money for his organization in Lesotho, Africa to help ease the suffering of children who are affected by the AIDS epidemic.

“Harry’s polo match was a big success and raised a substantial six-figure sum,” says one of Harry’s chums. “He is keen for the American Friends of Sentebale to build on that success.”

We’d love to see more of the very attractive Prince here in the U.S. His mother, the late Princess Diana, was very fond of the time she spent here and while Prince Harry won’t be moving here, a few more jaunts to the States would be welcome.
