Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has revealed that he has a crush on his co-star Emma Watson.
Rupert, 20, plays the role of Ron Weasley in the hit film series alongside Emma, 19, who plays his love interest, Hermione Granger.
“A lot of people think there’s something going on [between me and Emma Watson] because I have to kiss her on film,” said Grint.
He added: “I’ll be honest with you: it’s not something I’d say I’m dreading. Emma’s a pretty girl. Have Daniel or I ever hit on Emma? Well, she’s quite popular with the cast.
“As for who has the worst crush on her – me or Radcliffe – I’d rather not say.”
The star has to kiss Emma in the sixth film in the series, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, which is due out later this year.

Asked who she would like to play her dad, Blake said: “Brad Pitt. Or maybe [he should be cast] as my new boyfriend.”
Actor Connor Paolo, who plays Serena’s brother Eric, added: “We’ve been asking since day one who daddy dearest is, so it’ll be good to find out. I’d say Christopher Walken could make a great dad. I think he’d be a great papa van der Woodsen. I think [his and Lily's] dynamic would be awesome. I’ll push that one. Or maybe Jack Nicholson.”

Michael Jackson’s funeral will be preceded by a circus performance with animals, according to reports.
It is claimed that the animal-loving star will be buried after family and friends have enjoyed a circus parade.
A source said: “Michael was a big animal lover. He had lots of animals over the years and he cared for them extremely well, as if they were human. He had lions, tigers, giraffes and elephants at Neverland, and Bubbles until he became too big and unruly.
“Michael would be very touched that elephants will march at his memorial. He used to say that he only ever felt he could be himself with animals and children.”
Boy band superstar Kevin Jonas is set to break millions of young girls’ hearts: he has announced he is engaged.
The oldest of the Jonas Brothers says he went down on one knee at girlfriend Danielle Deleasa’s doorstep after flying overnight from a show in Canada.
“She said yes, yes, yes like 500 times super-fast in a row,” the oldest Jonas Brother said proudly.
“It was tough performing last night, knowing that I was going to ask the biggest question in my life to the most amazing girl in the world.”
Jonas, 21, presented Deleasa, 22, with a cushion-cut diamond ring that Jonas designed with jeweller to the stars Jacob & Co. They have yet to set a date.
“It still feels like a dream,” Deleasa said just hours after the proposal at her home in New Jersey on Wednesday.
The young sweethearts met in May 2007 while vacationing with their families in the Bahamas. Deleasa, a former hairdresser, admits that When they met: “I didn’t know who the Jonas Brothers were.”
Jonas eagerly pursued Deleasa after that first meeting; the fateful moment came when he spotted her walking on the beach with a flower in her hair.
The 26-year-old chimpanzee, once Jacko’s constant companion, is enjoying his retirement in a special sanctuary in Florida.
Bosses at the Center for Great Apes in Wauchula, Florida, allowed TV cameras to film Bubbles to prove he was still alive - and to dispel many of the wild rumours about his fate.
And staff say since Jackson’s death, they feel an even stronger desire to spoil arguably the world’s most famous chimpanzee.
“Probably the best tribute we can pay Michael Jackson here is just to take excellent care of Bubbles because I know he loved Bubbles,” said the center’s director, Patti Ragan.
Bubbles, born in 1983, famously travelled everywhere - and did everything - with his superstar owner. But Jacko eventually had to give him up when he became too big and too strong to safely remain a domestic ‘pet’.
Bubbles has been at the Center for Great Apes for the last four years - but sadly never got a visit from his former owner.
“Most of our chimps recognise their former owners and get excited to see them,” said Ragan, who added that most of the chimps there were also connected to the entertainment industry.
“I’m pretty sure Bubbles would have got excited” had Jacko ever visited, she added.

According to an associate of the company that now owns Michael Jackson’s former home, the future of Neverland Ranch is still up in the air. Tohme Tohme, the late singer’s long time friend and a partner of Colony Capital, part owner of Neverland, says that no decision has been made so far about what to do with the famous home. It’s being said that one of the options being discussed is to make Neverland some sort of museum or shrine to Michael. However, there are also some reports that say that the LAPD also wants to look into Tohme as having some indirect connection to possible foul play regarding the singer’s death.
Since the news of Michael Jackson’s death came out last Thursday, celebrity friends and fans alike have released their reactions on their Twitter accounts and other modes of media. Everyone from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Shanna Moekler has something to say. Here are some of the best I’ve read. Diddy said “Michael Jackson showed me that you can actually see the beat. He made the music come to life!! He made me believe in magic. I will miss him!” Samantha Ronson said “His music is just as relevant now as it was the day they pressed record, I’m sure it will remain so for generations to come.R.I.P.Mr Jackson.” Ludacris wrote “If it were not for Micheal Jackson I would not be where or who I am today.His Music and Legacy will live on Forever.Prayers to the famR.I.P.” But I believe that Star Jones said it best, writing “Death comes to all. But great achievements build a monument.” He IS and WAS the greatest entertainer of all times…Peace to you brother.”
Daisy Lowe was reportedly turned away from a recent event because of her mum’s feud with attendee Kate Moss.
Kate, 35, was already lined up to attend the PlayStation3 SingStar party but her friends reportedly turned Daisy away because of Kate’s fall-out with Daisy’s mum Pearl.
A source said: “She [Daisy] arrived with stepdad Danny Goffey, who’s married to Pearl Lowe, Daisy’s mother.
“Unfortunately Pearl and Danny are persona non grata with the Primrose Hill set after she wrote her book exposing the clan. Daisy’s done nothing wrong, but organisers thought it best she stay outside as Kate was expected.
“Danny was immediately turned away but Daisy was eventually let in.”
Daisy’s biological father is Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, who is now married to singer Gwen Stefani.

Michael Jackson’s children are doing fine, according to a close friend.
Mark Lester, who is the godfather of one of the pop legend’s sons, said he had spoken to the children since their father’s sudden death.
He said: “I can tell you that the kids are fine. They are being well looked after. It’s obviously a very difficult time and children grieve in different ways but no, they’re fine.”
Lester, who has been pals with Jackson for 30 years, said the family were doing what they could to be there for his three children Prince, 12, Paris, 11, and six-year-old Prince Michael I.
He said: “They’re devastated. They weren’t seeing each other every day but they have really rallied round together and you know, they’re supporting not only his memory but they’re being there for the kids.”
Former child actor Lester, 50, spoke of his shock at hearing claims that Jackson was taking painkillers and said he hated needles.
He said: “I never ever saw Michael even take an Aspirin. He used to drink mineral water, we used to eat fish and chips. He didn’t drink, and I’m just shocked. I never saw or had any indication that these things were happening.
“It’s just horrific.”
He added: “Michael hated needles. I did give him acupuncture once and that was the once and last time, he really didn’t like it.”
Lester said that Michael lived for his children and that was the main reason behind his decision to do a massive run of concerts.

There’s another Miley Cyrus photo controversy making the rounds on the internet. The Hannah Montana star was fooling around in her dressing room on the set of her new movie and someone documented the pictures. Producer/director Adam Shankman took to his Twitter and posted the pictures and then got surprised when it was deemed controversial. He wrote “Miley is a sweet angel who works tirelessly and endlessly, and is allowed to have fun in the make up room! Seriously! Lighten up or no more behind the scenes pics! She’s like my angel little sister.” When your sweet little sister mounts a chair, gives provocative face and you feel the need to show it to the world, it’s going to raise some eyebrows.
We’ve all seen this scenario before: latest it-thing rises to sudden massive stardom, it-thing spends newfound wealth all in one place, new it-thing comes along, people lose interest in former it-thing, has-been it-thing goes bankrupt. I’m not saying that Adam Lambert is headed towards that fate but with reports that the singer is looking into buying some property in our current economy, he needs to be warned to invest wisely. The American Idol alum recently said “I think I’m going to buy a house. It’s a little ways off. I’ll probably wait until the end of the year. That’s exciting to me, to have a home.”
Harry Potter stars Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint reportedly got so drunk they forgot the name of one of their films.
Daniel, 19, and Rupert, 20, were enjoying a night out at a pub in Lincoln, near to where they are filming the latest Harry Potter flick, when a pub quiz machine asked them a question about one of the films.
The machine reportedly asked them: "Complete the title of this movie - Harry Potter and the Order of the… "
However, the two lads reportedly burst out laughing when they couldn’t remember the right answer was Phoenix.
An onlooker said: "When the Harry Potter question came up, nobody helped them because we assumed they were mucking about."
The onlooker added: "But they lost, all because they couldn’t complete the title of their own film! They both looked really embarrassed but then saw the funny side."
The singer recently admited that her school days weren’t really the most popular time of her life. It seems that during that time, Sophie Ellis Bextor actually had to deal with the existence of an “Anti Sophie Club”, as she relates: “Was I popular? No, complete opposite. There was an ‘Against Sophie’ club. It’s pretty cruel, but they were interested at first, ‘Oh your mum’s on TV,’ and then it was, ‘Hang on a minute, she’s the only one who’s got that so we can all gang up on her,’ and stuff like that. That was in my infant school so I think I was about five or six. I can’t say it was brilliant, but at the same time I probably was a bit of a show-off about it because I thought it was brilliantly glamorous.” Well, all kids are show-offs at some point or other of their lives… Sophie Ellis Bextor was no exception by the looks of it. Hopefully it hasn’t rubbed off on her adult life… too much.

A star-struck young fan got to meet Shia LaBeouf on live television.
The actor star appeared on America’s The Today Show to discuss his latest flick, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

She added: “I don’t know what to ask.
“What kind of girl are you interested in, like, honestly?”
He replied: “All kinds, I don’t have a specific [type].”
Giggling, she asked: “Do you have a girlfriend?”
He said: “I don’t, no. What are you doing the rest of the day? My day is boring.”
She said: “I want to spend it with you. I’m with my four friends.”
He laughed: “Four friends?!”
She then asked him to say ‘hi’ to her pals by reading their names out on air.

‘Twilight’ star Kristen Stewart was recently seen leaving her hotel with rocker Joan Jett in Burbank, California last week. I’m amazed that the 50-year old singer actually looked better than the teenager playing her in the biopic ‘The Runaways’. Kristen previously spoke about spending time with Joan saying “I’ve been listening to [Jett's] music all the time; I spent New Year’s with her. I am just trying to make myself aware of the time period and what she was going through.” Let’s hope she does the character justice and not be a total stump on screen like she was on ‘Twilight’.
Megan Fox has topped the US FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World poll - for the second time.
Fox, who has drawn comparisons to Angelina Jolie, and has been lighting up the red carpets of world capitals for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, was also named the sexiest woman in the world in 2008.
Jennifer Lopez was the only other star to carry the honour twice, in 2001 and 2002.
Fox was followed by Jessica Alba, recently caught postering for a shark campaign at number two, Scarlett Johansson in third place, and Jessica Biel in fourth.
Biel recently complained that being too good-looking can get in the way of ensnaring meatier movie roles.
The poll also saw Heidi Montag in eighth place, Anne Hathaway in ninth, and Katy Perry in tenth place.
But the biggest leap came from Britney Spears, who catapulted from 100th place last year to Number 12.
