In this post-Potter movie world, fans have a few things to hold on to. Fan fiction, a possible trip to The Wizarding World Harry Potter theme park, and the idea that HP stars Emma Watson, Daniel Racliffe and Rupert Grint are all friends in real life, constantly hanging around a non-magical fire, with Emma assuring her two best guy friends that they’re still totally more attractive than Matthew Lewis.

By now, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo protagonist is Rooney Mara in our eyes and we couldn’t see her any other way. But oh, how different things could have been if David Fincher had gone with another Hollywood actress! Ryan Casey, created of the web comic But You’re Like Really Pretty, imagined a slew of famous leading ladies as Lisbeth Salander, tats and all. More »
What do Scarlett Johansson, Liam Hemsworth, and Aaliyah all have in common? Plenty of new parents were obviously reading celebrity sites (maybe even ours!) and watching movies when they decided on what to name their kids. Our favorite guessing game is figuring out which celebrity scandals, cult TV shows, and reality-show children influenced the top baby names of 2011. More »

Lancôme perfume has added another wide-eyed beauty to their cabinet, and another reason why we “normos” and “uggos” won’t be getting swept off our feet on a Paris street anytime soon. Aspirational? Try EXASPIRATIONAL, amirightladies?
Don’t get me wrong. My idea of true romance obviously includes lilting piano melodies, soft-focused lenses, diamonds, idling around old European cities and running over bridges for no apparent reason—but I don’t need a company like Lancôme rubbing the fantasy in my face. More »

Emma Watson was recently spotted hanging out with her Perks of Being a Wallflower co-star Johnny Simmons in LA. They kissed, which seems to suggest some sort of on-set romance, but she still denies that anything is going on. Regardless, Johnny is one of those faces you’re starting to see around Hollywood more and more, so whether Emma or another starlet snatches him up, you’ll want to know who he is. More »
No, we can’t take credit for this cheeky commentary on the Harry Potter series; it was Global Comment who came up with this fake tribute for the alternate universe in which Joanne Rowling (not having to hide behind her initials) introduced the world to young, motivated witch Hermione Granger and her sidekicks Harry and Ron.

In 1776, the Second Continental Congress issued a declaration–a “Declaration of Independence,” one might even call it–that severed all of America’s ties to Great Britain and made everyone, well, very, very angry. Brazen to a fault, it sealed the fate of the thirteen colonies, throwing them into grisly battle with the mighty British Empire. In this case, as we all know, the dark horse triumphed and, in due time, the United States emerged as a super power, with Great Britain as its most trusted ally. Unfortunately, that alliance was shattered into tiny little bits with this summer’s big movie premieres of the faintly English Harry Potter And The Death Hallows Part II and America’s aptly titled Captain America: The First Avenger.

We’ve been fantasizing about chopping off all our hair since middle school, but we’ve never quite been able to pull the trigger. However, it’s 101 degrees in New York today, so we’re tempted to run into the bathroom with a pair of office scissors and hack ourselves a pixie. One of the reasons we’ve never done it is that is seems such a short cut can only be styled one way — but that’s not true at all, as it turns out! Emma Watson has proved that there are many different ways to style that pixie cut. More »

No movie is truly iconic until there’s a porn parody, and Harry Potter has gotten several. Last night, Emma Watson posed for a photograph with porn actor Cameron Adams.
