Ten years is enough

‘Harry Potter’ stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson said they would not star in the film series again – even if another book was written. The actors have spent the past decade making the wizarding franchise but think that ten years is enough. The author, JK Rowling, said on the ‘Oprah Winfrey’ show that the series might not end at seven novels as she was tempted to write more.

But Watson, 20, who plays the character Hermione Granger, said she would turn down the role. She told Scholastic magazine: “Oh, my goodness – no, I wouldn’t return, it feels so complete what we’ve done. It would just be weird, no way – it would just be really strange.”

And Radcliffe, 21, who plays the lead boy wizard role, isn’t too keen on the idea either. He added: “No, probably not is the answer because 10 years is enough, I think the films have reached a rather perfect and wonderful conclusion.”

The seventh and penultimate flick ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part One’ will be released next month, with its sequel coming next year.

Emma Watson's kissing woes

Emma Watson didn’t pucker up for her kiss scenes – instead, she had to "grit her teeth" during the filming of the latest Harry Potter movie when she was called on to kiss both Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliffe. The next installment of the wizard franchise, Harry Potter And The Deathly.

Watson revealed that she was quite uncomfortable while filming the scenes because she struggled to separate Grint and Radcliffe from their onscreen roles."Getting into character to kiss Dan and Rupert was tough. Forgetting all of our history, and our relationship. Putting all that aside and being in character was pretty b**ody hard, it really was,” The Daily Star quoted Watson as saying.

Emma “That required a huge amount of professionalism. I really had to grit my teeth and be like, 'I am Hermione, this is Harry - stop thinking that it's Emma kissing Dan. It's not. It's all good.'"

Watson is a clever woman

Tom plays evil wizard Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, which have been successfully adapted into a movie franchise from British author J.K. Rowling’s children’s books.

On screen, Draco is the arch-enemy of the movie’s main characters; Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, played by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson respectively. But in real-life there is no such bad feeling, with Tom praising his female co-star for her incredible mind and good manners. He admits they don’t spend much time together outside work though.“I haven’t seen so much of her,” he told British newspaper The Daily Mail.

“She is very professional and seems like an intelligent lady.”

The 23-year-old actor says he sympathises with Emma over all the attention she receives from the public. There has been speculation over the young star’s love life as she has been linked to a string of men, and Tom says he couldn’t cope with so much interest in his life.

“I would not want there to be a big hoo-ha about what I am doing. I would want to do it really quietly,” he added.

Emma Watson: 'I'm like Dory the fish'

Emma Watson has admitted that she is not interested in being famous.

The Harry Potter actress told magazine that she reminded herself of Dory, a fish voiced by Ellen DeGeneres in Finding Nemo.

Discussing how she had stayed grounded after achieving global fame as Hermione Granger in the movie series, Watson said: "Harry Potter was entirely filmed in a studio in the middle of nowhere, in the most stinky, leaky, falling-apart shed you can ever imagine, and I went to that place every day for ten years.

"Yes, I made these extremely famous movies, but everything was inside a bubble, with the same people. Everything was really contained. The crew became my family. I wasn’t involved with all the Hollywood stuff, that would've made me feel really disturbed and lost. No-one ever treated me as if I was different from anyone, nobody treated us as stars."There's also my breeding. My family - and I can't really make enough emphasis in this - isn't interested in the artistic environment at all. In my house, nobody watches movies, they are academic-oriented, they are just not interested in this.

"Me being an actress is not their dream made true. They just want to watch me happy. Their main focus is not my stardom.

"That’s how I am. Fame never attracted me. Actually, I'm quite shy, I've never liked attention and money. I feel myself a little bit like Finding Nemo's Dory - I just keep swimming and don't turn around to watch the mess."

Emma Watson Likes It Casual And Classic

Actress Emma Watson says that she does not like to follow the latest trends in fashion because she considers herself a normal girl and would like to behave and dress that way!

The popular Hermione Granger from the “Harry Potter” series further explains that people who follow fashion trends look all the same in her eyes, and since she would always like to stand out from the rest in a crowd, she chooses to wear clothes of her choice, clothes which look good on her and complement her personality.Though fashion is not her cup of tea, Emma Watson still likes to keep herself updated on the latest trends that rule the ramp and so the actress is a regular reader of fashion magazines published in the US, claims excerpts from a recently published interview.

The actress who has won the hearts of many with her Hermione Granger act says that she loves looking elegant and for that purpose, though it may sound clichéd, keeps her style statement simple and classic. Whatever she puts on, the actress stresses that she always keeps the comfort factor in mind and makes sure that her clothes help her to remain relaxed all through the day.

Emma Watson had to `grit her teeth` during Harry Potter kissing scenes

Harry Potter star Emma Watson said she had to 'grit her teeth' during her kissing scenes in the final two movies.

Watson, 20, who plays Hermione in the movie series, has to kiss her co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint in the last film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which is being split into two parts.Speaking to Britain's SFX magazine about the scenes, she said: 'Getting into character to kiss Dan and Rupert was tough also. Forgetting all of our history, and our relationship.

'Putting all that aside and being in character was pretty bloody hard, it really was. That required a huge amount of professionalism. I really had to grit my teeth and be like: 'I am Hermione, this is Harry - stop thinking that it's Emma kissing Dan. It's not. It's all good.''

Adriana Lima models the 2010 Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Fantasy Bra

Earlier this month, we opted not to cover the hoop-la around the latest version of the Victoria’s Secret diamond bra,as worn by Adriana Lima—as there were some busy news days and catch-up work to do after the many fashion weeks around the world.

However, we’ve noticed that there are many search-engine hits coming to this website, and all visitors are seeing are 2008’s design by Martin Katz.

So, here it is: the 2010 edition, dubbed the Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Fantasy Bra, modelled once again by Miss Lima, this time created by Italian jeweller Damiani.
The bra “only” costs US$2 million, compared with the US$5 million price tag put on the 2008 version. It features 3,000 brilliant-cut white diamonds, light blue sapphires and oval-shaped topazes, set in 18 ct white gold.
There are 60 ct of diamonds and 82 ct of sapphires and topazes, says Damiani. Over 1,500 hours of labour were put in to the bra.
It will appear in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show annual telecast, airing this year on November 30 on CBS in the US, and the company’s 2010 Christmas Dreams and Fantasies catalogue.
There have been pricier Victoria’s Secret bras. In 2005, the fantasy bra was valued at US$12·5 million, modelled by Gisèle Bündchen.
The 10th anniversary version in 2006 featured 2,000 diamonds weighing a massive 800 ct, valued at US$6·5 million, modelled by Karolina Kurková.

Adriana Lima Dons $2 Million Victoria’s Secret Bra

It’s true that not everything that sparkles is gold or diamonds. However, that’s not the case with the latest Victoria’s Secret creation. The “Bombshell Fantasy Bra” is made from real diamonds and white gold! This undergarment will surely make any woman more desirable than ever! Well whoever can afford it since it costs an astounding $2 million!

The “Bombshell Fantasy Bra” is designed with over 3,000 pieces of white diamonds totalling to almost 60 carats, light blue sapphires totalling to 82 carats, and tiny oval topazes. Six people worked on it for 1,500 hours!
This is not the first time that Victoria’s Secret came up with an extravagant bra. In 2008 the brand designed one that cost $4.7 million. And before that there was also one that amounted to $6.5 million. Hmm, this year’s is only $2 million. Does this mean Victoria’s Secret is becoming less extravagant?

Anyhow, Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana Lima has the honour of wearing this million dollar bra. She was also the one chosen to model the previous $4.7 million creation.

If you want to see the new “Bombshell Fantasy Bra” Adriana will be modelling it on Tuesday November 30 during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Adriana Lima to Model $3M Victoria's Secret Diamond Bra

Last year's Fantasy Bra, called the Harlequin, was also valued at $3 million, but these are by far not the most expensive of the Victoria's Secret diamond bras. In 2005, the lingerie company put out a diamond bra worth $12.5 million that was modeled by Gisele Bundchen of Brazil.

Adriana Lima to wear 3 million dollar Fantasy Bra

Heidi Klum may have been top dog within the Victoria's Secret show, but having announced that she will be taking a break from this years show it seems Adriana Lima has been passed the prized baton.

Victoria’s Secret Model Reveals Her Diet

Supermodel Adriana Lima starts preparing for the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show six weeks in advance. She works out for two hours a day, six days a week. Lima says she prefers boxing, jumping rope and isometric exercises that don't require equipment. "I don't lift weights, I don't like machines. Everything I do is with my body weight," she said. Lima keeps a positive attitude about working out.

"Every day's a challenge, every day you're stepping out and learning something new. So it's wonderful, I like it a lot. It's very intense, but I like it." She feels that working out helps her body cleanse itself of toxins.
Lima also shifts her diet, cutting back on carbs and upping the protein for three weeks before the runway show.

"I'm doing a combination of different protein shakes - it's called Metagenics," said the model. "Also, I only can eat green vegetables, everything grilled or steamed, or four ounces of any type of protein. And usually that's what I have for lunch and dinner, and every three hours in between I have a protein shake or cereal bar."

A lingerie model and a "Scream" queen

Today's double feature? A lingerie model and a "Scream" queen. And, no, this isn't the synopsis for the latest fright-night flick (though one lady's outfit did makes us shudder and want to cover our eyes).

This week's Style Superstar finds Victoria's Secret beauty Adriana Lima channeling Cinderella and teen star Emma Roberts showing some back at Elle's 17th Annual Women in Hollywood event. Keep reading to find out which one takes home this week's glass slipper.
Victoria's Secret model Adriana might have all the boys swooning when she struts down the runway, but she went seriously off-track when she stepped out for a VS Fantasy Bra launch on Wednesday in this disastrous ensemble.

Adriana's outfit (the highlight of which was the $2 million dollar bra she's wearing) was clearly an attempt to modernize the classic Cinderella look, but it went terribly awry. To be fair, she probably didn't choose the gown, herself, but unfortunately that doesn't spare her from the week's worst dressed. Hey, at least she got a Halloween costume out of it.

Fascinating fact

Victoria's Secret underwear model and new mum ADRIANA LIMA is set to make her catwalk comeback following a year-long hiatus. Lima, who welcomed baby daughter Valentina last November (09), will walk the runway wearing a $2 million (£1.3 million), diamond-encrusted bra designed by Italian jeweller Damiani in the lingerie giant's annual New York show on 10 November (10).

Blinging bra!

It's every heterosexual man's dream come true — Adriana Lima walking the streets showing off her perfect assets in a bra-baring outfit.

And her underwear certainly deserved a good flash, since it cost an incredible US$2 million.

Adriana was modelling the diamond-encrusted bra in New York earlier this week for Victoria's Secret.
Showing off the glittering bra in a pale blue satin gown, which was cut away to reveal her chest completely, Adriana attracted plenty of stares from men and women alike as she stood on the pink carpet.

Designed in collaboration with Italian jeweller Damiani, and containing more than 3,000 jewels, the piece took six craftsmen 1,500 hours of work to complete.

Adriana needed a security team just for her bra, with its incredible 142 carats of white diamonds, topazes and sapphires.

With her incredibly slim, toned figure, it's hard to believe the 29-year-old had a baby less than a year ago, Adriana will star in the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show airing on US channel CBS on November 30th.

Supermodel Adriana Lima revealed Wednesday the $2-million bombshell fantasy bra

What do bras and pumpkins have in common? Both are new photo galleries at TheStarPhoenix.com. Supermodel Adriana Lima revealed Wednesday the $2-million bombshell fantasy bra designed by Damiani exclusively for Victoria's Secret in New York. And, in keeping with the season, we also offer photos from around the world of pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns as Halloween creeps ever closer.

Adriana Lima still has on the $2 million bra

Remember the other day when I showed you photos of Adriana Lima supporting her ample bosom with a $2 million bra? Well, she’s still got it on and it still looks like a million bucks.
Or two. I hope she never takes that thing off (except when she’s at home with the winner of life’s lottery) because even though it may be worth a couple of million bucks from everything I have seen it appears to be worth every damn penny.

You gotta love the holidays. Caroling, snow angels, hot babes in lingerie…

Yep, nothing says the holidays like Adriana Lima in her skivvies for Victoria’s Secret. This gives me such a warm feeling. Somewhere.

Style wizard Emma Watson casts her magic over ethical fashion

24Aug 2010 - She remains best known for playing the youthful wizard Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films. But now Emma Watson is weaning teenage shoppers away from mass-produced chainstore clothes in favour of ethical fashions made on a small scale in some of the world's poorest nations.Watson's latest collection for People Tree, which works using strict Fairtrade and environmental guidelines, will be launched at "a garden party to make a difference", a 12-day environmental festival organised by the Prince of Wales that will be held next month in the gardens of his London home, Clarence House.

Fashion experts say Watson, now 20, has a considerable amount of influence among girls and young women who have watched her gradually shed the image of the somewhat frumpy Hermione to emerge as a fully fledged fashion icon. "I think a lot of young women have grown up with her, seen her develop her style," said Emily Sheffield, deputy editor of British Vogue. "She is a classic English rose."

Traditionally, ethical fashion is a sector associated with older consumers more concerned with provenance than design. But Orsola de Castro, co-curator of Esthetica, the British Fashion Council's eco-sustainable initiative, believes this perception is changing and Watson is part of that. "We have to make ethical fashion available and interesting and glamorous for the public," she said. "Celebrity support is providing that platform."

Watson says she wants to create clothes for people of her own age, introducing younger lengths and fitted shapes to the People Tree brand. "Emma appeals to younger people and the collection has sold incredibly well on [online fashion outlet] Asos," said Safia Minney, founder of People Tree. "When clothes are worn by someone as lovely as Emma, it brings a whole new customer in."

Watson's previous collection, for autumn/winter 2010, will be for sale from Wednesday from People Tree. "Although I wasn't centrally involved in the design, I had a great fun in helping People Tree select some gorgeous Fairtrade textiles," she said. "There are even a few party dresses, such as the little black satin tulip dress which can be dressed up or down to suit any occasion."

The paradox is that while People Tree is relatively affordable – items cost as little as £20 – Watson is a highly visible fan of upmarket fashion and haute couture.
