Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint’s Harry Potter co-star Emma Watson is one of the most popular young actresses of the era. Playing the renowned character of Hermione Granger for the wizardry series has brought her loads of accolades from all over the planet.

But fame comes at its own price and that price sky-rockets when the corrupt minds are equipped with the modern-day gadgets of cameras and internets. Emma now stands in the midst of another topless scandal.

A topless pic of hers is doing the rounds on internet and has been circulated to all the students of Brown University (where she is a student herself) via e-mail. The girl (in the pic) is seen topless with a towel tied around the waist standing by a hot bath tub.

Emma has sternly declared that this is a fake pic and does not belong to her. While we cannot authenticate whether the girl in the pic is, indeed, Emma or someone mimicking her, this horrendous episode is a painful reminder of the ugly face of modern technology.

It was not long ago that Emma made a faux pas at a red carpet and got her knickers exposed. This had been instantly captured by the cameras and shown to every voyeur man on the planet. While that was a minor wardrobe malfunction, this topless episode is more than what Emma can swallow. After all, she has a right to some dignity and privacy……but the technology’s advancing feet have slain any of such so-called dignity thing.

Justin Bieber, the Baby singer who hails from Canada, has piled up a humongous fan following over the past year or so. And hence, it goes without saying that any gossip or rumour about this talented singer is bound to spread like wild fire.

At barely 16, he has reached the status of a megastar and has been elevated to the pantheon of a deity. Hence, his personal life becomes a matter of great speculation amongst his fans and critics.

If the murmurs are anything to go by then it would appear that his closeness with Selena Gomez is raising some serious eyebrows. Selena is the 18 year old Disney star and, of late, has been spotted with Justin engaged in a deep conversation.

Quite recently, the two were spotted by the eagle-eyed paparazzi sinking their teeth into yogurt at the famous Menchie’s in Encino, California. Reportedly, they were busy chuckling amiably forlorn in each others’ eyes as they held hands and battled eyelids.

Last week, they were snapped cheering together in a High School football game in Moorpark, California and this, too, hasn’t gone unnoticed. Justin, now that he is approaching adult hood, is bound to immerse in friendships and dating.

But his regular rendezvous with Selena has triggered a significant question- Are they merely good friends or is something fishy cooking? Selena, on her part, has dismissed any romantic angle. But we would let time pronounce the final judgement. So, better wait and watch……

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner’s Twilight co-star and the sexiest vampire alive (or dead) Robert Pattinson has turned down a handsome $2 million deal by Burberry refusing to become its brand ambassador.

Thanks to Rob’s global popularity and craze amongst the masses, the Burberry bosses were keen to have him aboard. Making him their new face would have been a trump card by the company.  However, disappointingly, Robert has politely turned them down.

Reason? Robert is seemingly pretty focussed on his acting career and is in no mood to let out an otherwise image. Burberry deal would have presented him more like a model than an actor of great repute. Reportedly, he told the bosses that he was an actor and not a model and therefore he refused their plump offer.

Robert sees himself primarily as an actor and despite the fact that he is handsome and good looking, he is not trying to cash in on his looks. Robert is also not much into the fashion world. He recently revealed that he doesn’t mind wearing the same dress again and again; something that speaks volumes about his modesty.

But, all in all, Burberry were agog about having him. Now that he has snubbed them, they would have to look for a fresh face. What about his screen nemesis Taylor Lautner?

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt may have conspired to break Jen’s marital life in 2005 but allegations are on that Jennifer has played the part of a relationship breaker in the impending divorce between her friends Courteney Cox and David Arquette.

Cox recently shocked the planet by announcing that she and David are heading for a splitsvilla. Certainly, this has thrown the limelight back on Jennifer Aniston’s face as speculations are rife about her involvement.

Courteney has devoted much of her time with Jen and Jen is, reportedly, worried that she may have distracted her from her marriage. However, it would be incorrect to think that Jen desires their divorce.

Surely, Jen knows the pain that goes behind a divorce (she is still reeling under the after effects of her divorce from Brad Pitt) and hence, she is trying all her might to try and persuade Cox to abandon the divorcing plan.

Jen has warned Cox not to rush into any decision and go for a split only if it is the last possible alternative. Hence, calling Jen as a relationship breaker would be a tad too harsh. But it would be great if she can play the peace maker between her best Friends.

Justin Bieber, Robert Pattinson and Miley Cyrus are some of those stars who have gained immense popularity at a very young age. While Miley started off with Hannah Montana, a giggly school girl high on boys, now she is bidding adieu to her coy avatar as she approaches adult hood on 23rd November.

But even though, she has got all the fame and dollars crowning her beautiful head, her dream house of cards is crumbling down before her very eyes. First, her house got divided i.e. her parents decided to fork paths. A divorce of parents is always heart-wrenching even if one is a celeb.

And now, looks like her romance is seeing gloomier days. After Billy Ray Cyrus and Tish’s official announcement of split comes the report of Mileys’ break up with boyfriend Liam Hemsworth.

Miley had bumped onto Liam last year while filming for ‘The Last Song’. They dated hard but eventually severed ties this summer only to get back again in September. But now, looks like they have called it quits. [Source: People Magazine]

Miley broke up with him and headed off to a vacation with two of her female friends. But since Miley and Liam both are a tad flamboyantly whimsical, it won’t be a surprise if they kiss and make up again.

Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint’s Harry Potter co-star Emma Watson has confessed her Boggart. Emma says that one of her fears was to walk the red carpet premiere of her movies because she couldn’t find any suitable dress to wear.

Emma (who plays the bushy haired character of the intellectual witch Hermione Granger in the wizardry films) has admitted that since she couldn’t pick up any befitting dress, she was often compelled to wear bridal wears. The 20 year old actress has been starring in the Harry Potter films since she was barely 11 and has, therefore, walked on red carpets throughout her teen hood days.

She says as a matter-of-fact that all her stylists could come up with nothing. And 2 days before the events she would run down her wardrobe but find nothing. Hence, she either used to borrow from her stepmom or run down to the bridesmaid department at Harrods.

While Emma is a confident and a highly-skilled actress, her fans would find it interesting to learn of her red carpet dilemma and her very own Boggart.

However, in a talk with FoxNews, Cameron said that people can be sure of the fact that he is not going to direct Cleopatra and will be more interested to start working on ‘Avatar 2’ and ‘Avatar 3’.
