Gossip Teen

A glamorous look from Emma Watson gets your attention on the cover of the July issue of Vogue.

The 21 year-old actress reveals her struggle with balancing all of her projects and education, her love of the artistic life, costar Daniel Radcliffe, how James Franco helped her figure things out and how she wants control after Harry Potter:

On the Harry Potter ‘bubble’ and Breaking Free: “I have had no control over my life … I have lived in a complete bubble. They found me and picked me for the part. And now I’m desperately trying to find my way through it.”

On Inspiration from Patti Smith: “I want to live like Patti. I want to write like Patti … The book [her 2010 memoir Just Kids] was so honest and brave. I loved the way she sees the world. I really felt that life was more beautiful after I read it, and I felt more hopeful.”

On Daniel Radcliffe: “He understood what his role was … not just as an actor but as the leading man in this enormous franchise. And I think that was almost more important in a way. He held it all together. I am very grateful for him.”

On Getting A Helping Hand From James Franco: “It was such a relief to speak to someone who is trying to do the same thing I’m doing. I talked to him about juggling studying and making films and going backward and forward. He’s not afraid or limited by what he fears people will say about it.”

Selena Gomez takes the cover of Teen Vogue for the June/July issue and tells the magazine she wants “to be in love.”

“When your heart is broken, you want to hate everything,” the Disney star said. “You want to say, ‘I don’t believe in love; this is ridiculous. It’s not supposed to hurt this much.’”

“But at this moment in my life, I’m at a point where I want to be in love, to give my all and fall head over heels,” Selena told Teen Vogue. “I’m eighteen. I’m not going to marry anybody I’m with, and I know that.”

Gomez understands the risks but says she is ready for the reward.

“The next heartbreak I have, I’m sure I’ll be like, ‘How can I live without this person?’ But I’m still trying to dive in and enjoy it.”

Australia’s Girlfriend magazine has Kristen Stewart on the cover for July 2010.

The Twilight actress, who has spent the last few weeks on a whirlwind promotional tour for Eclipse, the third chapter of the successful movie franchise, looks refreshingly beautiful on the front of the teen glossy.

Check out the scans (and new interviews with her and costar Taylor Lautner) of the magazine here.

Pixie Lott performed at the T4 On The Beach in Somerset, England on July 4th. The “Turn It Up” singer was a great sport as she was jokingly asked about her past (possible) romances/crushes and who she’d choose for the rest of her life.

The New Zealand magazine Girlfriend has Justin Bieber sitting pretty on the cover of it’s June issue.

Justin, who was recently in Australia, caused a bit of a stir when he made an appearance on the show “Sunrise” and told a show supervisor (who was trying to show Bieber where to stand,) “Don’t ever f’ing touch me again.”  For his part, JB denies this happened and responded on his Twitter:

“Family time with my mom couldn’t come at a better time….I was raised to respect others and not gossip…nor answer gossip with anger. I know my friends family and fans know the person I am. Hearing adults spread lies and rumors is part of the job I guess.”

Check out the “Sunrise” performance below and tell us – do you think Justin really did that? Or is it just a conspiracy against beloved Bieber…

Seventeen magazine puts Ashley Greene out front for it’s summertime issue. The Twilight actress (who just inked her contract for the final pic Breaking Dawn,) has a lot to share about three of her hot costars:

What’s the big deal about Rob?: “When I met Rob, I didn’t think twice about him. He’s really attractive, but that chemistry wasn’t there. He also doesn’t understand girls. He gets a lot of attention from them, but he doesn’t quite understand it because before Twilight, he was just a guy from Harry Potter. He literally didn’t make any impression on me. He’s quiet, he’s not very outgoing, he wasn’t like, ‘Hey! What’s up? I’m Rob!’ So with[director]  Catherine, she was basically like, ‘So, that’s Rob.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, cool.’ And it’s just so funny now looking at it, because every girl swoons over him.”

Taylor is adorable but…: “Even though I adore Taylor Lautner, I’m the type of girl who wants what she can’t have. And Edward is mysterious and almost unreachable and supernatural. And he’s this tortured soul who actually really loves this Bella character, but he can’t be with her, but he doesn’t care, and he’s willing to give up everything. And vampires are just cool. So yeah, I would go with him.”

Team Kellan for the Win: “I’ve definitely thought about [hooking up with costar Kellan Lutz] it. He and I met through our agent five years ago, and we’ve been best friends ever since – and filming together has made us even closer. He’s one of my best friends, but if we were going to be romantic, we would have done it years ago! I like having him to talk to about other guys to get that male perspective. I really cherish our relationship, so I wouldn’t want to mess that up by dating.”

Greene and the gang will be out in full force to promote Eclipse very soon as the third in the Twi series opens in theaters on June 30th.

Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince opens in theaters on July 15th and the cast is doing lots and lots of interviews to promote the sixth installment of the series. Daniel Radcliffe recently did this interview with the Los Angeles Times and while taking the journalist on a walk thru the magnificent sets in England, he shared some interesting stories about the many talented actors he has been fortunate enough to work with thru the years:

Several generations of the best from British and Irish stage and cinema have passed through the franchise, such as Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon, Kenneth Branagh, Emma Thompson and the late Richard Harris, and Radcliffe tried to learn something from each of them.

Asked for an example, he points out that Richard Griffiths, who plays Harry’s sour uncle, was raised by deaf parents and, attuned to nonverbal expression, approaches his work with a more internal strategy than most actors. He first learns what his character is thinking in each scene as opposed to what he is saying.

Griffiths also once advised Radcliffe to never let the camera catch him when he wasn’t thinking because the void would be read in his eyes; the veteran prefaced that counsel by saying it was told to him by Lee Marvin, who heard it from Spencer Tracy.

“Just think,” Radcliffe said, “how many young people get access to that sort of advice and that sort of history?”

Gary Oldman is another legendary talent that Radcliffe has been fortunate enough to spend time with and learn from. The duo share a passion for music and Oldman helped Dan become a better bass guitar player. Radcliffe also mentioned some of his favorite bands: The Arctic Monkeys and The Libertines.

I really enjoy watching Daniel as he grows as an actor and look forward to what he will do after HP. It must be a huge challenge for him to walk away from the character that we have all come to know him as, and he identifies with a bit. Radcliffe along with his co-stars, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson will be everywhere in the next few weeks as the sixth movie opens and I for one, can’t wait to see more of them.

The sixth installment of the magical wizarding world was originally set for a fall 2009 release, then moved to July 17th. Now, Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince will come out in theaters on July 15th 2009.

Has Twilight  completely replaced your interest in Harry Potter? Or will you see both?
