Posted on by

Emma Watson partied at a pole-dancing club after the New York premiere of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2’ on Monday (

The British actress celebrated the end of the wizard movie franchise by going to a go-go bar on Monday  where she danced the night away with pals before leaving at 2am.

A source told The Sun newspaper: “She was really enjoying herself. There were a few scantily-clad girls around but Emma didn’t bat an eyelid.

“There are a few poles in the club but she didn’t have a go. After such a big night it’s no wonder she wanted to let her hair down.

“She had a smile on her face the whole time before calling it a night around 2am.”

While Emma’s ‘Harry Potter’ co-star Daniel Radcliffe recently revealed he has given up alcohol after developing a dependence on it while filming the movie franchise, Emma, 21, admitted she has been drunk in the past but said her experiences were much different.

During an appearance on ‘The Late Show with David Letterman’, she said: “To be honest, it’s really not something that I genuinely know much about. But as far as I know, he never took a sick day. He was like the most professional, amazing guy ever.

“I mean, yes, I have tried spirits! Of course, I’ve tried spirits. I mean err, there are substances, whiskey.

“Yes I have been drunk once in my life, as everyone does. I’ve got drunk, I’ve been drunk and I’ll bow to that.”

The fashion designer – who gave birth to Harper Seven, her first daughter with husband David Beckham, in Los Angeles on Sunday (10.07.11) – is reportedly considering a permanent move back to the UK so the tot can attend a posh school and become a “perfect English rose”.

A friend of the former Spice Girl said: “Everyone has fallen in love with Kate Middleton. She’s gorgeous, stylish, speaks well and has perfect manners, all the qualities that Victoria will wish for Harper.

“Victoria will want her daughter to grow up to become a perfect English rose, with a gorgeous posh accent and definitely not like some spoilt Hollywood brat.

“Victoria is a massive fan of Kate Middleton and now, finally, baby Harper is going to be her very own little princess.”

The 37-year-old star – who also has three sons, Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight, and six-year-old Cruz, with David – has now cleared her diary for the next two months to devote her time to Harper.

The source added to the Daily Star newspaper: “Victoria has always dreamed of having a daughter. Now her dream has come true. Like any proud mum she’s planning ahead and being Victoria she will want the very, very best for her daughter.

“Victoria has cleared her diary for the next two months. She wants to spend the summer at home relaxing and being a proper hands-on mum.”

Meanwhile, the Beckhams – who attended the royal wedding on April 29 – have invited Prince William and Duchess Catherine to come and meet the tot next time they are in the UK.

A friend explained: “David and Victoria are so proud of their little daughter. As soon as they are next in Hertfordshire at Beckingham Palace they want the duke and duchess to come and see Harper.

“It’ll be a special moment for David and Victoria.”

David and William struck up a close friendship after they worked together on England’s failed bid for the 2018 soccer World Cup.

Russell Crowe has lost over 16lbs on a tough new exercise and diet regime.

The Oscar-winning actor – whose weight has fluctuated over the years – began a 105 day bid to get into shape on June 17 and has already ditched some of his excess flab by following a gluten free diet and a punishing fitness schedule.

Writing on his twitter page today (13.07.11), he revealed: “220 lbs this morning, started at 236.4 lbs. 45 min walk, 12 mins eliptical, weighted objects 40 mins, walk 25 mins. 2400 cal a day maximum, all meals & all beverages. Where possible gluten free (sic).”

Since announcing his get fit plan, Russell has been posting regular updates for his 253,289 twitter followers, writing last month: “day 12 of a 105 day training period, there is a long way to go, one layer of tissue paper per day of effort and diet … it takes a long time (sic).”

Dad-of two Russell – who is married to singer Danielle Spencer – is hoping to lose a total of 41.1 lbs, tweeting “ My goal around 185 lb started at 236.4 (sic)”

Cee Lo Green wants to date Pippa Middleton.

Cee Lo Green wants to date Pippa Middleton.

The ‘Forget You’ hitmaker admits he has become more “selective” as his fame has increased and thinks he is at a point where he could “f**k up” his career if he wasn’t fussy about who he dates.

Speaking about how fame has changed him, he said: “This is going to be a strange comparison, but I think you’ll get it. As men, when we become famous, we become as particular as pretty women. So, these days I’m more selective.

“You learn that you can’t go to every party you’re invited to if you expect to last. Plus, for me to f**k up and do something stupid would be the greatest insult to all the art that I’ve accomplished, so I can’t be screwing around with just anyone now.

“I’ve got to go for a duchess or something. I’ve got to aim for … what’s her name? Pippa? Piper?”

Asked if he meant Pippa Middleton – the sister of Duchess Catherine, the wife of Prince William – he told Shortlist magazine: “Yeah. I’ve got to go for Pippa, man. She’s gorgeous. I like her.”

Despite his success, the singer also believes he is still “anti-establishment” because he doesn’t feel like he fits in with other musicians.

He explained: “A song called ‘F**k You’ still has a little attitude, right?  That’s still authentic and anti-establishment, maybe more so because it was such a big hit, even with that title. But I’ll always be anti-establishment because I’ve never felt like I belong. You don’t wear a feathered suit to the Grammys to fit in.”

Ryan Reynolds is reportedly enjoying a secret romance with Charlize Theron.

The 34-year-old actor – who split from wife Scarlett Johansson last December – is said to have been dating the 35-year-old actress “for months” but the pair have been deliberately keeping the romance under wraps.

A source told Us Weekly magazine:  “They have been dating — for months! They’re exclusive, and it’s very hush-hush.”

The pair have not yet been photographed together, but the magazine reports that witnesses saw the ‘Green Lantern’ actor’s motorcycle parked outside Charlize’s house all morning one day last month, before Ryan eventually emerged from the property at 3pm and she left just minutes later.

Insiders believe the pair make a good couple because of their similar attitudes to work.

One source said: “They’re both career-focused but not in a crazy way.”

However, Charlize – who ended her nine-year relationship with Stuart Townsend last year – is not planning to be seen in public with Ryan any time soon.

The source said: “She won’t go to an event with him. That’s not her style.”

Meanwhile, Ryan recently found the time to have dinner with 26-year-old Scarlett at Little Dom’s in Los Angeles.

The ‘Cars 2’ actress – who has children Sam, seven, and 18-month-old
May with husband Alessandro Nivola – wants to buy a car but her spouse
has suggested she stay off the roads because her abilities behind the
wheel are limited.
She said: “My first car was an old Saab. And then I had a BMW that my
father-in-law joked he needed tetanus shot to get into because it was
just so full of old half-eaten sandwiches and bits of coke cans and
things.
“But my husband doesn’t allow me to drive anymore because I’m very unreliable.
“We live in New York and my husband refuses to get a car because it’s
just so nightmarish parking and I’m desperate for a car. I don’t know
why, I just really want one.”
The 39-year-old star recently borrowed a vehicle from her friend to
prove to her husband she could cope, but admits it turned out to be a
disastrous move.
She said: “I borrowed a friend’s car when they went on holiday to
prove to him it would be fine and within the space of a morning, I got
three tickets and when I drove past into the back of another car the
number plate fell off so I had to take it to a garage.
“The same time, I got ticketed for driving while I was on my phone,
driving without a seatbelt and then for parking in the wrong place. So
yes, I’m banned from driving now.”

Saoirse Ronan would "love" to work with Quentin Tarantino.

The 17-year-old actress – famed for her roles in ‘Hanna’ and ‘The
Lovely Bones’ – thinks the ‘Kill Bill’ filmmaker will be a great
person to collaborate with on a movie because he seems like “fantastic
fun”.
She said: “I haven’t worked with him, but I’d love to. I’ve talked to
people who have, and they all say he’s made and that it’s fantastic
fun.”
The Irish star particularly likes how Quentin works with an ensemble
cast of actors on a regular basis, allowing them to know exactly how
to bounce off each other.
She said: “Because he tends to work with the same actors every now and
again, they can read each other.
“There’s always such an ensemble feeling in his films, too. In ‘Kill
Bill’, for example, of course Uma Thurman is the star but it really
feels like a group effort.
“He’s often in his own films, which I think is great; he’s so
different looking with that amazing face.”

Kim Cattrall has “no desire” to look like she is 20.The 54-year-old actress – best known for playing Samantha Jones in ‘Sex and the City’ – would rather appear “healthy” and of her own age as she has no desire to reclaim her youth.

She said: “I had a great time in my youth and still feel very youthful, but I have no desire to look as though I’m 20. I want to look healthy, but I want to look closer to my age.”

Kim also admitted she “doesn’t believe” in cosmetic surgery because she is worried about something going wrong if she went under the knife.

She added in an interview with Reveal magazine: “I don’t believe in cosmetic surgery, well, not yet. I’d be too frightened. There are so many examples of things that have gone horribly wrong. I live in New York in an area where it is all around me.”

While she is aware she will always be associated with ‘Sex and the City’, Kim is proud of the show because it helped changed women’s attitudes to sex.

She said: “The show had a hand in changing people’s ideas of women and who they are as sexual beings.”
