Emma Watson says she feels for Kate Middleton with the intense scrutiny she’s under as she prepares for her wedding to Prince William and becomes a member of the United Kingdom’s Royal Family on April 29th.

“Poor girl. That must be an incredible amount of pressure. I hope she’s enjoying it. Must be intense,” she told the Associated Press.

The Harry Potter actress also spoke of the expectations she put on herself and why she chose to leave Brown University, at least temporarily.

“I just knew I was going to be beating myself up because I wasn’t going to be able to be doing the best that I knew that I could at school or in my job. If I’d been getting B’s or C’s I would’ve been really upset,” Emma said.

Watson just got a new costar for the movie The Perks of Being A Wallflower. The Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev is joining her and Logan Lerman for the film that should begin shooting in the Pittsburg, PA area early this summer.

And Happy Birthday Emma! She turned 21 today.

Twilight star Kristen Stewart found herself in hot water this week for her comment to British Elle regarding how she feels with photographers documenting her every move. In her original quote to the mag, the actress said:

“All you see is an actor or a celebrity lit up by a flash,” she said in an interview with British Elle. “It’s so…the photos are so…I feel like I’m looking at someone being raped. A lot of the time I can’t handle it…It’s f—ed. I never expected that this would be my life.”

Stewart realized the analogy was over the top has offered up an apology for her ill-thought out wording.

“I really made an enormous mistake – clearly and obviously and I’m really sorry about my choice of words.  I’ve made stupid remarks before, and I’ve always reasoned: ‘Whatever. They can think what they want,’ ” she says.  But in this instance, the Los Angeles-born actress feels compelled to address the situation. ” ‘Violated’ definitely would have been a better way of expressing the thought,” she notes.

In the 2004 film Speak, Stewart, who portrayed a rape victim, acknowledges that what she said has serious repercussions and that sexual assault should not be spoken of lightly.

“People thinking that I’m insensitive about this subject rips my guts out. I made a big mistake,” says Stewart.

I’m glad she stepped up to the plate and admitted that she used a terrible analogy for her personal feelings. Her hatred of the paparazzi is duly noted and she needs to learn to deal with it (it’s not going to go away no matter how hard she wishes it would.)

I like Stewart and hope she continues to speak her mind. Even though this was not the smartest thing she could have said, I do want her to continue to talk openly and share her opinions and point of view. So many other actresses have the exact same answer for every reporter – you can tell it has been rehearsed repeatedly. Kristen gives you an uncensored version and a true sense of her self in each interview. Very rare these days.

Harvey Kindlon, the 11 year-old schoolboy who tried in vain to present actress Megan Fox with a rose will get his chance tonight in New York City. Fox was walking the red carpet at the London premiere of her latest movie, ‘Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen’  when Kindlon extended the rose. The actress was led past him and says she did not even see him thru all the flashes from the cameras.

Kodak Film offered a $5000 reward to anyone who could locate the youngster in the picture (see pic and story here) and he was found on Facebook. The London boy is being flown in to the Big Apple with his Mom and a friend to meet the actress Friday night and give her the flower, face to face.

Fox, for her part, has been extremely kind and truly seemed upset that this had happened. Can’t wait to see the pictures of their meeting!
