As the Dish Rag previously reported, in the upcoming “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” film, Radcliffe will be getting naked for a scene in which his character Harry and friend Ron (Rupert Grint) battle a monster. The creature uses magic to project an intimate scene between Harry and a woman.

Who’s the mystery woman? Their friend Hermione (Watson), with whom Ron is in love, reports the UK’s Telegraph. Best friend’s girlfriend!

“We’ll create something that feels very sexy and very intriguing to bring about a reaction in Rupert,” says director David Yates.

“There are a couple of scenes in the new film in which he will undress, but we’re still thinking about how we present it,” says Yates. “There is another scene in King’s Cross station, where Harry almost dies and sees Dumbledore. In that scene, he will also be naked.”

The editor of the  Harvard Voice apologized to “Harry Potter’s” Emma Watson after the Crimson rag was accused of orchestrating a “stalking mission” on the starlet during last weekend’s Harvard-Brown game.

Watson, who attends Brown and was at  Harvard Stadium  for the game, was reportedly “quite shaken” and required the assistance of security to keep looky-loos at bay after the magazine launched a live blog on her whereabouts during the football match.

The teens and tweens of the U.S.A. have spoken, and the worst celebrity influence of 2009 is . . . Miley Cyrus.

JSYK.com (Just So You Know), AOL’s pop culture blog aimed at 9-15 year olds, recently tallied 44,594 online votes for its first, eponymous awards.

On the flipside, the Just So You Know Awards found Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, and Emma Watson scoring in the “Best Celeb Influence” category.

When Emma Watson announced that she was to study at Brown University in America, she explained that she had rejected a place at Cambridge because of the interest that her attendance there would generate.

At an American football match she attended between a team from Brown and one from Harvard, Watson, 19, had to be protected by security guards after she was besieged by students and other spectators. “She looked quite shaken,” sighs one onlooker.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson plans to quit the movie business once she wraps up work on the wizard franchise – because she doesn’t have a “burning passion” for acting.

The 19 year old, who will take up a place at England’s Cambridge University in the autumn, admits she doesn’t have a strong desire to continue working in film once her Harry Potter contract expires.

The star, who plays nerdy Hermione Granger in the magical film franchise, admits she will only be tempted back to the business if she finds a role she is extremely passionate about.

She tells America’s Teen Vogue magazine, “There’s not, like, a burning passion in me that I have to act and I don’t care what I do. Until something comes along that I feel as strongly about as I did Hermione – like, I felt that it was life or death – I don’t want to act again.”

Emma Watson will return to the silver screen as the beloved Hermione Granger in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. But she is showing a different side of herself in a photo spread for Crash Magazine.

The 19-year old actress was photographed by Karl Lagerfeld, a fashion-industry legend who helped make her the face of Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle. She told the French magazine that she enjoyed working with him, saying “This was a dream come true. We spent the whole day together and he can talk about anything – literature, art, science, modern culture. I was totally seduced.”

Emma Watson has confirmed her choice of university – after months of speculation about where the star has enrolled to study. The Harry Potter actress recently revealed she would be taking time out to study in the U.S., prompting a flurry of speculation about her institution of choice. Now the star has confirmed she will go to Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. She says, “I am (going to university in the Fall) – to Brown, which is an Ivy League establishment in the U.S.A. I’ve got a place there to read literature.”

Emma Watson must be feeling good today.

“Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” grossed a magical $58.4 million from 4,275 theaters as it opened Wednesday at the domestic box office, including a potent $22.2 million in midnight shows.

“Harry Potter” actress Emma Watson caused a stir at a recent event for the latest wizard flick when a gust of wind blew up her skirt, exposing the young star’s skivvies.

But much like her onscreen alter-ego Hermione Granger – Watson is staying calm and collected over the Marilyn Monroe-esque incident.

“At least I’m wearing underwear,” she said in an appearance on the “Late Show with David Letterman.”

Emma Watson has been accepted to attend Yale University. But will she? She has not decided yet.
