As Harry Potter’s sidekick Hermione Granger, she plays the perfect pupil with a butter-wouldn’t melt smile. That was that the movie would project her to be and we are no fools to take it as placed on the platter. A young girl having played a enormously successful character in a box office hit like Harry Potter will surely one day grow and then show off her real self. New pictures of Emma Watson prove that the 17 year old is growing up fast and is now ready to be called a young girl if not a young woman. In a photo shoot for the magazine Tatler, the young actress swapped her neatly pressed Hogwarts school uniform for Yves Saint Laurent and chanel dresses. But despite stepping out on the celebrity social circuit recently, Emma maintains, she is reassuringly “normal”. What a joke Emma, at 17 you are trying to be normal, well that abnormal for any celebrity or for that matter any young girl. The normal thing is parting out and modeling if one gets the opportunity like you have.

If you ever wanted to reach the home base with Alyssa Milano, you can get that chance now. Minds out of the gutter people because this time, it’s literal.

Apparently, Milano is a huge fan of America’s favorite sport. Not only has she designed a line of clothing for female baseball fans but she also keeps a baseball blog on MLB.com. This time, she’s giving a lucky fan the chance to meet her at an LA Dodgers game.

Along with meeting her, you can also win two tickets to two Dodgers games and a hotel room for three nights. Transportation to and from the games aren’t included though. Bummer.

Talk about being great close friends!

Kate Bosworth was given a very friendly smooch to the lips by Liv Tyler as they were spotted at Sant Ambroeus café in the West Village in NY.

They were both holding their own respective lunches, Liv with ‘Smother’ co-star Dax Shepard and Kate with supermodel Helena Christensen. When the two bumped into each other, they quickly got reacquainted with a hot lip lock.

I know that close friends sometimes give smooches on each others lips but I know for sure that those are hardly open-mouthed kisses. Do you think Kate was secretly hoping for some tongue?

She may look innocent and wholesome in her pictures from the latest issue of Lucky magazine but pictures taken last year from a late night of partying with Lindsay Lohan may have gotten a knife wedged between Vanessa and her career.

Vanessa is no longer part of MTV’s TRL or Entertainment Tonight and it might just be because of those pictures. This and the fact that she apparently has one of the biggest diva attitudes by having incredulous demands whenever she has to work. A source says that “Vanessa wants to be a celebrity, not interview them.”

Well guess what Vanessa? It just might be even harder for you to get a new job now. Just don’t go and stab them with a pointy knife if you get rejected, k?

The Olsen Twins are going for the classic look these days with all the black and white they have been wearing. Although they find an odd need to dress in opposite every time. They’re only managing to look like a massive Oreo cookie or a Yin and Yang symbol more than anything. Ebony and Ivory ain’t moving over.

But guess what? They have recently announced that they will be making a new line of clothing that will include leather jackets, T-shirts, pencil skirts, cashmere sweaters, fur jackets, silk dresses and mini dresses, ranging from about $80 to $600 when they hit upscale New York stores like Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman this fall.

If you’re willing to spend hundreds of dollars on clothes, would you go get one “designed” by an Olsen? It’s not like they have the sense of style to inspire anything.

Nicky Hilton partied it up with sister Paris on a pre-prison night out. They hit Beverly Wilshire and Teddy’s as they posed for pictures along the way. When the Daily News asked about her sister’s jail sentence, Nicky said it was absurd.

“I think my sister 100% deserves to be punished, but it’s kind of absurd that she’s going to jail for a traffic violation.”

Well, she has to learn some way. And what better way to tell her to keep in line than jail time? Because Nicky dear, there could come a time when you would be in the car with her and the unfortunate thing happens that she would crash and you would be sent flying out the windshield because you decided you were Super Girl and opted to say no to a seatbelt.

Cynical? Maybe. Common sense? Heck yeah!

Pamela Anderson is this close to making her dreams of being a showgirl come true. The former Baywatch bikini babe is set to co-star in The Beauty of Magic, a new show at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino Theater for the Performing Arts.

Pamela would be replacing fellow Baywatch alum Carmen Electra and will get the magic going this weekend.

No teeny tiny bikinis for this show but somehow I don’t think the audience would mind. We don’t need a look at what she’s packing under there. I’m just sorry for everyone who will watch that they can’t airbrush her face live.

Lindsay Lohan and her father have not been on the best terms for a long time. Now he steps back into the spotlight as she tried to help his daughter. Michael Lohan declared in an interview that Lindsay is suffering from many addictions including the painkiller OxyContin and of course alcohol. His official statement was:

“I spoke to the people treating Lindsay, because I wanted to make sure she was getting the right care. And I’m satisfied they are doing the right thing for her, helping her detox from the painkillers and things. That’s a very important step.”

Michael is no stranger to this kind of things. He was recently released from prison after serving almost two years for DUI. As they say: “Like father like son!”
