Emma Watson: 'Twilight' Sells Sex
Don't even go there, Emma
We all know Emma Watson as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies. And Emma clearly has a lot of loyalty to her series. We heard she's been doing a little bit of Twilight bashing! Do you agree with Emma or do you want her to leave Twilight alone?
One of the reasons were most excited for the final Harry Potter movies? Emma Watson will finally be kissing Rupert Grint. When they started filming the movies, they were such babies and now they're all grown up, so we're happy to see this progression.
Emma describes the kiss as being "exciting" and "awkward" and actually claims, "This kiss between Hermione and Ron is highly anticipated, it's been building up for eight films now. And Harry Potter is not Twilight, you know; we're not selling sex."
Whaat? Do you really think that Twilight is selling sex? I mean, sure there are some sexy men in it. But we would claim Twilight is more of a love story than a story about sex. We know Emma is just trying to state how weird a little Harry Potter sexiness was, since they aren't used to it. She continued to say, "So, whenever there is any hint of that, everybody gets terribly excited. In fact, it was horribly awkward; we couldn't stop laughing."
Barack Obama: 'I Still Have Michael Jackson On My iPod'
US president Barack Obama has revealed he still has all of Michael Jackson's music on his iPod.
Obama, whose MP3 player is also known to include hits by Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z, said Jackson "will go down in history as one of our greatest entertainers”.
The president spoke about the King of Pop, who died on June 25, during an interview at the White House yesterday.
He said Jackson had been given “extraordinary gifts” and bought “great joy” to his fans.
But Obama also acknowledged that the star's “brilliance as a performer also was paired with a tragic and, in many ways, sad personal life”.
Until now, the president's thoughts on Jackson's sudden death had only been conveyed by a White House spokesman.
When asked why he had failed to speak sooner, Obama told the Associated Press that he wasn't aware that he had caused any offence.
"I know a lot of people in the black community," he said. "I haven't heard that."
A number of politicians, inducing UK prime minister Gordon Brown, have joined musicians and celebrities in paying tribute to Jackson over the last even days.
