Emma Watson has a small but key role in the 2011 film My Week With Marilyn. Watson is Lucy, an assistant in the wardrobe department of Pinewood Studios in 1956. The film is based on the memoirs of Sir Laurence Olivier’s assistant Colin Clark. Clark (Eddie Redmayne) was smitten with Lucy and flirted with the costume gal often. Here is the official synopsis:

In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark, just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’, the film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe, who was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Arthur Miller.

Nearly 40 years on, his diary account ‘The Prince, the Showgirl and Me’ was published, but one week was missing and this was published some years later as ‘My Week with Marilyn’ – this is the story of that week. When Arthur Miller leaves England, the coast is clear for Colin to introduce Marilyn to some of the pleasures of British life; an idyllic week in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work.

This is Emma’s first non Harry Potter role and the movie has an amazing cast. Besides Emma, Olivier is Kenneth Branaugh and Michelle Williams is Marilyn.

Jackson Rathbone is always busy with multiple projects. The Twilight actor is starting work on Breaking Dawn, keeping a web diary of his band 100 Monkeys and is starring in a new web series “Aim High” with Aimee Teegarden. The photo above is Rathbone as Nick, a teenage spy posing as an ordinary high schooler:

The actor’s playing Nick Green, a high school student with a side job as an international spy. Nick is one of the US government’s 64 trained teenage operatives and just blew a hit he had on a Russian mercenary named Boris the Bear (Clancy Brown). He’s juggling the ripple effects of that with his secret love for Amanda Miles (“Friday Night Lights’” Aimee Teegarden). The major problem there is that she’s got a jealous boyfriend (Jonathan McDaniel) who just so happens to be the swim team captain.

The full series will released online and as a DVD sometime in 2011.

Jackson is still in high school in this? Well, I do happen to adore him so I will catch this anyway – but I have to admit, I’m getting tired of actors in their late 20s and early 30s playing high school students. I understand when you need an actor who won’t age significantly as a vampire but the rest of the time it’s ridiculous. Is it just me? What do you think?

Jesse McCartney is finally ready to release his fourth studio album titled Have It All on December 28th and the singer just posted the cover art on twitter. The first single “Shake” from his album is a catchy, upbeat, urban dance tune and McCartney promises more to come when the album debuts. The 23 year-old had this to say about the album:

“This album has a wider range. The beats are hotter, the sound is more upbeat. It’s got the hook-y R&B flavor of the last record, but everything’s really amplified. I’m psyched for people to hear it.”

What do you think of the cover?

Kristen Stewart appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly this morning (October 19th) to promote her non-Twilight film, Welcome to The Rileys. The actress plays a stripper and there has been a lot of chatter about her possible pole dancing in the film (you won’t see it in the film, but she did take lessons for two weeks in prepping for the role.) The 20 year-old thespian told Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa that while she had fun learning how to, the physical results weren’t all that great:

“It hurts alot, actually. I had bruises all over my legs.”

She also mentions that she heads to New Orleans in November for the start of the Breaking Dawn shoot.

Alison is back – maybe? Wait – what? Dream? And as a Candy Striper?

Sasha Pieterse is back as Alison and she is hovering over Hannah (Ashley Benson) in the hospital. ABC Family released the photo as a teaser to remind us all – Pretty Little Liars isn’t going anywhere. The series will start up again in January with episode 11 “Moments Later.” Perhaps we will get an answer or two. If they do give us answers, you can bet there will be twice as many questions – and that’s what I love! I’m hooked.

January is so far away…

iCarly actress Jennette McCurdy spent her Saturday afternoon trying to skateboard while hula hooping – impressive! McCurdy posted this cute shot of herself on her twitter and said

I love that she said “Bazinga!”  Too funny!

Sadly, Friday (September 17th) was the last day of filming for this season of iCarly, but we still have a few great episodes left to see – the Jack Black guest star and Victorious cross over episodes are still to come. This has been a great season of the Nickelodeon show.

Although Pretty Little Liars is on a break until January 2011, there is no shortage of people who want the cast to give up the mysterious “A’s” identity. The actresses of PLL are getting bombarded by everyone for the answer; friends, family and other celebs are grilling the girls:

“All my friends will call me to ask who ‘A’ is and I’m like, ‘No, you can watch it!’” bemoans Ashley Benson, who plays Hanna Marin, heir to the cool girl throne after her friend (and now, possibly “A”) Allison dies.

She’s not alone in having to keep people in the dark: “My family is like, ‘OK, Shay, whatever. I thought we were family!’” says Shay Mitchell, cast as the athletic, sweet-natured Emily Fields.

It’s gotten to the point where people have taken to Twitter to try to figure out just who is leaving this foursome of girls threatening messages. Says Lucy Hale, who plays the mature-beyond-her-years Aria Montgomery. “I have Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family tweeting– he’s like, “Just tell me, please!’”

The series is currently in production for the January return. Twelve new episodes are lined up to answer some of the mysteries and leave us with tons of new ones. More Nylon magazine outtakes below:

Two more super sexy photos to promote the second season of The Vampire Diaries have surfaced with Nina Dobrev center stage.

These (I believe) showcase the duality of Nina’s two characters Katherine Pierce and Elena Gilbert. The photo with Nina, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder dressed in black has the evil, narcissist vampire Katherine lounging with the Salvatore brothers and the cast pic in white is Elena torn between her men. The show and the cast are on fire!
