Emma Watson celebrates her 24th on muddy Canadian set of new movie Regression

She must be truly dedicated to her job.

Emma Watson spent her 24th birthday on Tuesday on the muddy set of her newest movie Regression.

It was the pretty British star's first day filming the new flick - in which she stars alongside Ethan Hawke - and she was sure to tell her fans via Twitter that it was a 'very cool birthday present.'

Canada clearly had a dose of rain the night before, as Emma was spotted dodging puddles around the film set.

There wasn't much time for the birthday girl to slip into party attire either, with her costume consisting of an array of greys and dirty greens.

The actress wore what looked much like a waitress's uniform, with a faded green pinafore over a green shirt, teamed with ripped grey tights and scuffed leather boots.

She kept warm between takes with a black trench coat, but otherwise looked to have had to put up with the elements in order to play her character in the upcoming thriller.

Emma's brunette tresses were pulled into a casual ponytail and held back with a pink pin - a stark contrast to the look she sported on the multitude of red carpets over the last few weeks on her European promotional jaunt.

Why Emma Watson Won't Date Anyone Famous.

Have you (like the rest of us) been pining over Emma Watson since she stepped on the screen as Hermione Granger? You may be in luck. As long as you haven't been making it into the tabloids recently, you're just her type.

The 23–year–old spoke with Elle Australia for their April issue about the woes of dating a celebrity and why she won't be signing up anytime soon.

"I don’t date people who are famous," Watson admitted. "I don’t think it’s fair that, all of a sudden, intimate details of their personal life are public as a direct result of me. I wish I could protect them."

Watson's theory could explain her relationship with current boyfriend Matthew Janney, a rugby player at Oxford University.

Emma Watson not concerned about boyfriend's reputation

Harry Potter star Emma Watson is reportedly not worried about her new boyfriend Matthew Janney's reputation as a ladies man.

The 23-year-old actress started dating the rugby-playing British hunk since splitting with long term boyfriend Will Adamowicz, and is ignoring her friends' warnings that he is could break her heart, reported Star magazine.

"They had instant chemistry. People have warned Emma about his past, but she doesn't care. She became infatuated with him immediately, and he loves her attention," a source said.

The couple were spotted kissing on a romantic break in the Caribbean earlier this month, and Coralie Day - Matthew's guardian, who has looked after him since the death of both his mother and father from cancer, leaving him orphaned at 16 - says she's 'thrilled' for them both.

"We are thrilled to bits that he is seeing Emma Watson. We are looking forward to meeting her soon. Hats off to her for finding such a wonderful young man. There is nothing bad anyone could say about Matt. He is absolutely lovely," she had said.

Emma Watson manages a slight smile as she gets photobombed by a goofy fan at LAX

The 10-plus hour flight from London to Los Angeles can be gruellingly long. 

So when British actress Emma Watson touched down in LAX Sunday evening, she looked ready to call it a day.

Good natured with fans, the 23-year-old just managed a slight smile as an ardent fan photobombed her as she left the airport and headed for home.

When the Harry Potter actress - dressed comfortably in black trousers, a grey shirt and black jacket -  initially touched down at the airport, she seemed happy to be on solid ground and smiled at fans.

She strolled happily from the gate to the terminal exit.

But when the Perks of Being a Wallflower star walked outside in order to meet her ride, an over-the-top fan jumped suddenly beside her to have his photo taken next to her.

Although Watson kept her cool, she high tailed it out of the airport.

AFM: Sony Worldwide Signs on for Emma Watson's 'Your Voice in My Head'

The movie project is based on Emma Forrest's best-selling book.

Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions has struck a multi-territory deal for all rights to director Francesca Gregorini's Your Voice in My Head, starring Emma Watson.

Hope that's Lancome! Emma Watson blends into the background as she shops for make-up with a friend in Los Angeles

It looks like the make-up reserves are running low for former Lancome model Emma Watson who was spotted shopping for cosmetics on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old looked casual as she browsed the shelves at Century City's Sephora store in Los Angeles, accompanied by a friend.

The Bling Ring star looked inconspicuous as she carried a number of shopping bags, which suggested her evening outing had been a successful one.

Dressed in an oversized grey coat, which hid the star's slim figure, Emma wandered about the shops before stopping to pick up some make-up. The brunette beauty, who has modelled for Burberry in the past, also wore plain black skinny jeans and matching patent brogues.

Emma kept her hair down over her shoulders, which she now appears to prefer in a longer style after going for a very short, elfin crop in 2010. While her companion, who had even more bags than her famous friend, wore an eye-catching pair of trousers and a beige, loose-fitting jacket.

The actress, who has studied at Brown University in the US and as a visiting student at Worcester College, Oxford, was rumoured to have signed a six-figure deal when she became an ambassador for the French beauty brand two years ago.

At the time she said: ‘Although I don’t wear much make-up I’m a big fan of Lancome products, especially their mascara.’

The star was recently voted the sexiest actress in the world in a poll carried out by Empire Online, topping the bill alongside fellow-Brit Benedict Cumberbatch.

She was spotted looking much more glamorous earlier this month, when she attended the Gravity premiere in New York City, wearing an off-the-shoulder white dress and metallic heels.

Emma Watson Models Custom-Made Green Gowns For 'The Edit'

At 23, Emma Watson is a grown Muggle woman—and The Edit’s got the pictures to prove it. Polished, poised and far, FAR from Hermione, the actress and eco-activist was recently tapped by Green Carpet Challenge creator, Livia Firth, to star in an editorial spread that supports ethical fashion AND looks super pretty. BTW, if you’re scratching your head about the phrase “ethical fashion,” it’s not as cray as it may seem. And it’s not all tie-dye and Tevas and giant threads of harsh hemp made into a basket-weave bodice. (Although, if something like that exists, I would very much like to see it.)

Ethical fashion focuses on producing “something responsibly that explores sustainability,” says Burberry’s Christopher Bailey, who was one of five British-based designers involved in the project, along with Christopher Kane, Victoria Beckham, Erdem and Roland Mouret. And while it's not exactly an abundant alternative yet, that's something that Firth and Watson are hoping to change. "I’ve always had this huge problem," Emma confessed. "I would love to wear garments that are ethically sourced, but there aren’t enough options for me to be able to do that realistically."

ICYMI, Watson’s been involved in green fashion for a while now, so she was an obvious choice to showcase the spread. In 2010, she designed a collection for Fairtrade brand People Tree. Then in 2011, she teamed up with Alberta Ferretti to create a sustainably-produced capsule collection called Pure Threads. What now, Emma? A shoe made entirely from recycled Diet Coke cans?! Makeup made from compost remains?! *shudders, takes back suggestion* "It just seemed like [the project] was something I had to do, something I'd been waiting for," she says. "Livia's created a lobbying body to put pressure on governments and corporations to encourage them to have [ethical responsibility] as their baseline. It's quite awesome." Well, and Emma Watson, YOU'RE awesome.

Emma Watson Is Set To Star In 'Your Voice In My Head'

She's been a witch, a thief and a wallflower's bestest friend, but Emma Watson's next role might be her most interesting yet: According to Deadline, the actress is set to star in the upcoming film adaptation of "Your Voice in My Head," in which she'll play a young English writer living in the U.S. and struggling with bipolar disorder.

The movie is based on Emma Forrest's book of the same name, a powerful memoir of the writer's journey through the turmoil of mental illness—and her ultimate recovery, thanks to the support of a gifted and dedicated psychiatrist. The project has been in the works since 2012, with both Emma Watson and Emily Blunt rumored to be its leading lady before Emma sealed the deal this week. (Also rumored: Stanley Tucci in the role of the wonderful shrink.)

Meanwhile, this is new territory for Emma, who pushed the limits of her good-girl image with "The Bling Ring" this year but still has yet to play a real grown-up role—and considering the content (Forrest's memoir doesn't spare any details when it comes to her struggles with cutting, bulimia and abusive relationships), we can expect to see the actress in some seriously challenging, gritty scenes. 

The Bling Ring movie review

The Bling Ring was one of the New Zealand International Film Festival films I had been looking forward to see the most. It has gained a lot of hype, especially as it marks a bold step (in the right direction) for actress Emma Watson as she breaks away from the Harry Potter franchise.

Based on Nancy Jo Sales' Vanity Fair article The Suspect Wore Louboutins, and the actual events of the Hollywood Hills burglaries in 2008 - '09, The Bling Ring offers an insight into the world of the teenage robbers.

The 'Bling Ring', as they were often referred to by the media, consisted of a group of celebrity obsessed high-schoolers, who decide to break into the homes of their rich and famous idols. Some of their victims include the likes of Orland Bloom and Miranda Kerr, Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, from whom they stole over $3million worth of clothes jewellery and cash.

Director Sofia Coppola, offers her distinct aesthetic style of film making, feeling a lot like her 2006 film Marie Antoinette. Rich with colour and beautifully edited. Cuts of paparazzi footage and Facebook picture uploads reflect the teens desire for fame, yet the grainy filter helps move the film away from the typical glossy Hollywood movie, to put the film itself in contrast with it's content.

Also, bizarrely enough, Paris Hilton let Coppola film inside her home, where only 4-5 years ago the actual home invasions took place.

The young actors bring a believability to their characters, especially actress Katie Chang, playing the unruly ring leader and instigator of the thefts, Rebecca. As well as Israel Broussard as Mark, the stylish teen who gets caught up in Rebecca's exciting and dangerous life style. However at times the dialogue feels a little too contrived, but perhaps that only helps emphasise the shallowness of these Californian teens.

The Bling Ring is entertaining throughout and worth seeing if you get the chance.

Rookie has posted a great interview with Emma. Rookie is a website for teenage girls, and many of the site authors are in their teens, as is Tavi, the interviewer here. She is young, but a lot of journalists could take a lesson from her on how to have an interesting interview.

Emma Watson bares it in new movie poster

The 22-year-old actress, who is all set to rebel against her innocent do-gooder character in the Harry Potter series, can be seen holding a gun in one of the stills, the Mirror reported. In another snap, the pretty actress shows off her toned stomach and flashes her bra.

Watson told GQ magazine that when she read the script and realised that it was essentially a meditation on fame and what’s become to the society, she decided to do it.

The Half-Blood Prince star, who will be playing the role of Nicki in the film, said that the character is everything that she felt strongly against- it is superficial, materialistic, vain and amoral.

Watson added that she agreed to portray the character of someone she would actually hate because she found it really interesting and it gave her a whole new insight into what her job or her role as an actress could be.

Emma Watson turns down Cinderella role

Emma Watson has reportedly has declined an offer to play the part of Cinderella in a new adaptation.The Harry Potter star has apparently turned down the role because of her hectic work schedule, the Daily Express reported. Kenneth Branagh, who is directing the remake of the Disney 

classic, is said to have offered the part to the British star, but now it's been claimed that the 22-year-old will not star in the film. "Emma Watson has decided NOT to star in Disney's CINDERELLA. (sic)" tweeted Variety reporter Marc Graser.

However, it has been revealed to the publication that actress Cate Blanchett has agreed to play Cinderella's evil stepmother in the movie.

EMMA WATSON AND DANIEL RADCLIFFE BOTH TO STAR IN NEW BOOK-TO-FILM ADAPTATIONS OF CINDERELLA AND FRANKENSTEIN

NOT THE SAME MOVIE... 'CINDERSTEIN' WOULD BE WEIRD.

Seeing as they’ve graduated Hogwarts now and gone back to lives filled with general Muggle-ness, Emma Watson and Danielle Radcliffe are obviously missing being real life versions of book characters, as they’ve both signed up for new ‘book on the screen’ movie adaptations.

Hermione will be transforming into fairytale princess Cinderella, and ‘Arry Potter will be entering the creepy world of Frankenstein.

It’s all very exciting.

Emma is lined up for the starring role in Kenneth Branagh’s version of Cinderella, which is set to be a highly visual reworking of the fairytale. Think Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland, or the new Oz The Great and Powerful flick. Cate Blanchett has already been cast as the evil stepmum, so it sounds like it should be rather brill.

Getcha glass slipper out for the lads.

Dan Rad will turn from fit Voldy-fighting super wizard to hideous hunchback, for his part in the new Frankenstein film, as he takes on the role of Igor, the lab assistant to Dr Franky.

According to The Wrap, Dan’s character will be "pathologically dirty and dressed in old clown's clothing". Which sounds quite frankly like some kind of TERRIFYING NIGHTMARE but also AWESOME.

Emma Watson looks stunning in unusual graphic cut-out dress at The People's Choice Awards

It was a night of undoubted glamour.

And British actress Emma Watson certainly flew the flag for the UK at The People's Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday evening in a very short graphic cut-out dress which accentuated her slender figure.

Emma, 22, opted for an unusual thigh skimming Peter Pilotto dress for the glitzy awards bash, where she picked up Favorite Dramatic Movie Actress for movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

The Harry Potter actress looked delighted to pick up an award at the ceremony, which is known as the younger, funkier sibling of the Golden Globes and the Oscars.

And during the ceremony, nerves obviously high the young actress was seen cosying up to Wallflower co-star Ezra Miller, who looked dashing in a grey suit.

Emma Watson stopped by US border officials

According to The Sunday People, the 22-year-old 'Harry Potter' star singled out after landing at New York's JFK airport and told she should be accompanied by an adult.

The flustered actress, who was eventually waved through and managed to laugh off the incident, later revealed that she is often mistaken for a kid and blamed the fact she was wearing a schoolgirl-style backpack.

According to a source, Watson was mortified, and not only did they not recognise her, they thought she was a child. It was very embarrassing but she managed to awkwardly laugh it off.

The British actress, who recently finished filming her latest movie 'This Is The End', later told of her embarrassment on Twitter.

"Passport control: 'Unaccompanied minor?' Me: 'Sorry?' Passport control: 'Where is ur guardian?' Me: 'I'm 22!!!!!!!' #neverwearingabackpackagain," the Mirror quoted her as tweeting.

"The really sad thing is that this is not the first time this has happened," she added.

The star was returning to the US where she was expected to continue her studies at Brown University, Rhode Island.

Perks of Being a Wallflower movie review

Odious comparisons to J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye emerged when Stephen Chbosky's young-adult novel The Perks of Being a Wallflower was published in 1999. Erase the thought. Chbosky's semi­autobiographical treatment of his high school days was good, just not that good.

The film version, written and directed by Chbosky himself in a rare but welcome instance of Hollywood actually thinking an author might know something about his own book, is a modest but distinct pleasure. Chbosky is clearsighted about the harsh realities of sexual identity, drug use and mental illness, but alert to the scars left by emotional wounds.

Logan Lerman (3:10 to Yuma) excels as Charlie, the smart but socially inept freshman. The novel was done with letters, but Lerman is quite adept at catching the right tone of voice for a character who's still not over a friend's suicide, and a traumatic experience with an aunt (Melanie Lynskey).

It's an unwritten rule that every wallflower needs advisers. Charlie's older sister (a lovely turn from Nina Dobrev of The Vampire Diaries) lends a sympathetic ear. And Paul Rudd brings warmth and nuance to the English teacher who befriends Charlie, within limits.

But Charlie needs help on the inside of this Pittsburgh high school circa 1991. Enter Samantha, a pretty, poised senior possessed of natural cool. She's played by Emma Watson in her first major foray out of Hogwarts. Naturally Charlie aims his misplaced affection straight at her. Watson, sporting a spot-on Yank accent, makes a dream girl to die for.

But Perks is stolen, head to tail, by Ezra Miller (sensational as Tilda Swinton's psycho son in We Need to Talk About Kevin). Miller is a force of healing nature as Patrick, Sam's gay stepbrother. For Charlie, Patrick reps a world where feelings get expressed, where problems get talked out. Miller brings stinging humor and surprising tenderness to Patrick, two qualities Charlie needs badly.

Perks deserves points for going beyond the typical coming-of-age drivel aimed at teens. Chbosky's compassion for his characters is absent any hint of condescension. And that's reflected in performances that leave the feeling you've seen something good and true.

Emma Watson moves on from fashion

Harry Potter actress Emma Watson is cutting her ties with the fashion world so she can focus entirely on her acting career.

Emma has previously served as the face of fashion firm Burberry and cosmetic company Lancome, and she recently teamed up with fair trade corporation People Tree as a creative advisor and helped in designing two clothing ranges.

Now, the 22-year-old insists she is taking a step back from the industry in a bid to concentrate on her chosen profession - acting.

"It was fun when I was younger, but I don't think it will be quite as much part of my future, honestly. Now that I know acting is the thing I want to do, that's more where my passion is and my focus is," contactmusic.com quoted Watson as saying.

"I still find fashion very interesting, but it's quite full-on. I am finding more and more that I don't want to wear a dress and heavy make-up. I want to wear jeans more. It's quite intense to do it all the time," she said.

Emma Watson, Logan Lerman formed a music group on sets

Actress Emma Watson says she made a music band along with her ‘Perks Of Being A Wallflower’ co-star Logan Lerman on sets of the movie.

The 22-year-old, plays the role of Sam in the movie who is a high school student. The actress says most of the nights both the actors would play music.

"Throughout the movie we all made music together. Our band was called Octopus Jam. I sing and Logan Lerman is a classical composer, and he created a piece for me," a website has quoted Watson as saying.

"Most nights we would sit and play music, so that was fun," she added.
