Emma Watson’s Quality Controlled Friends

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Dating, Child Stars, Features,

Emma WatsonEmma Watson has learned to "quality control" people around her.

The Harry Potter actress - who is currently dating student Will Adamowicz - approaches her relationships differently as she grows older, and wishes she had done the same in her formative years.

"I wish someone had told me at 15, 'You accept the love that you think you deserve.' I would have approached my relationships completely differently if they had. I like this idea of quality control - that we don't have to accept just anyone into our lives. People talk about love as though it just happens to you - as though you're a victim in it all, when actually you can make good choices and bad. But women have a natural tendency to want to nurture and take care of men. I tend to date people who are quite introspective. I like deep thinkers."

Emma has had trouble with friends in recent years, struggling to find a sold group when she first went to the US to study at Brown University in 2009:

Lady Gaga Slams Her Friends

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Rants,

Lady GagaLady Gaga has slammed her "lifelong friends" for "betraying" her.

The "Marry the Night" hitmaker admitted she has had a "challenging" year marred by creative struggles - including criticisms her "Born this Way" single was too similar to Madonna's "Express Yourself" - professional disagreements and her own body image issues in an open letter to her fans.

"Today is a really happy day for me. The past year was a challenge, and I'm so happy to have my spirit back. I felt in chains at times," she wrote on her Little Monsters website.

In what is believed to be a reference to her dispute with director Joseph Kahn over a scrapped "Born this Way" video treatment, she added, "Whether it be the record label disagreeing with me on single choices, or directors who could only create an idea of 'gaga' or what I've 'done before' and not able to move forward, and there was also of course the incessant dragging of the most important single of my career in dead-beaten-horse-mud. Then there were all the personal moments. Betrayed by lifelong friends, mentors I've had for years suddenly taking advantage of me, and a massive struggles with my body image.(sic)"

Jodie Foster: Kristen Stewart Will Survive

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Child Stars,

Kristen Stewart and Jodie FosterJodie Foster has advised Kristen Stewart that she will "survive" her cheating scandal.

The Beaver actress - who worked with the Twilight Saga star on Panic Room in 2001 - thinks it is important for her friend to stay strong in the wake of public scrutiny over her affair with director Rupert Sanders and though she knows the 22-year-old beauty will be changed by the incident, she wants her pal to remember the storm will eventually go away.

"My mother had a saying, 'This Too Shall Pass.' God, I hated that phrase. It always seemed so banal and out of touch, like she was telling me my pain was irrelevant. Now it just seems quaint, but oddly true ... Eventually this all passes. The public horrors of today eventually blow away. And yes, you are changed by the awful wake of reckoning they leave behind. You trust less. You calculate your steps. You survive. Hopefully in the process you don't lose your ability to throw your arms in the air again and spin in wild abandon. That is the ultimate F.U. and - finally - the most beautiful survival tool of all. Don't let them take that away from you," she wrote in The Daily Beast.

Russell Brand Regrets Not Helping Amy Winehouse

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Drugs, Obituaries,

Russell Brand and Amy WinehouseRussell Brand wishes he had helped Amy Winehouse come off drugs.

The comedian - who has been sober for over 10 years after battling heroin addiction - has revealed he still feels guilty about not helping the late soul singer get clean when he first realized she was struggling with addiction.

"I got clean at the age of 27, the age Amy was when she died. Amy's death was a paradoxical unsurprising shock. I felt like I could have done something to help -- to give her the chance I had. When she died, it was this feeling of, 'Agh, I knew that was going to happen.' And I had this flickering sense that I should have done something about that. I feel a bit guilty that there was nothing I did."

The 37-year-old funnyman recalled seeing the troubled star - who was found dead in her London home last July - on the party scene and being disturbed by her behavior, prompting him to ask others to help her.

Matt LeBlanc Against ‘Friends’ Reunion or Movie

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Comedy, NBC, Gossip, Rumors,

FriendsMatt LeBlanc is against a Friends reunion.

The actor - whose most notable television role to date is as Joey Tribbiani on the hit sitcom - revealed that he wouldn't support the cast getting back together or agree to a movie adaptation of the show. Matt admitted that he hadn't heard of any plans to record more scenes and suggested that it would be wrong to try to recreate the series on the big screen.

"Yeah, that probably won't happen. There's no plans for anything like that. Everyone seems to be talking about that these days, but nope, no irons in the fire there," he said.

When asked whether he thought David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox collaborating again was a "bad idea," he added, "Personally I do. I think that show was all about a finite amount of time in six people's lives. Once they have moved on from that phase, that family unit has broken down a little bit. I'm sure they'd keep in touch a bit, but it wouldn't be the same."

‘Grown Up’ Snooki

Ronnie MagroSnooki's Jersey Shore co-star Ronnie Magro believes she has "grown up."

The 24-year-old star used to be known for her drinking and hard partying ways, but having recently announced she was pregnant and engaged to Jionni LaValle, Ronnie believes she is now a very different person.

"It's a different Snooki. She's doing really good. She's not drinking. She's got her act together and I'm really happy for her. Over night she's like this wild, crazy Snooki and now she's pregnant and engaged and growing up," he said.

Not only has she given up drinking, but Ronnie claims Snooki - real name Nicole Polizzi - has become keen on healthy eating: "She said she's feeling good. Not too much morning sickness. She's actually eating healthy. The fact that she likes to have a good time has nothing to do with what kind of parent she's going to be. It's her life and whatever's going to make her happy at the end of the day."

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Kind Acts, Parties,

AdeleAdele reportedly refused to sign a record deal because she was too busy planning her birthday party.

The "Someone Like You" singer wanted to celebrate her 18th birthday with a bash to remember and refused to let the offer of a contract get in the way, according to school friend Allan Rose.

"It was typical Adele. Her pals were more important," he said.

Allan met Adele at the BRIT school - which also counts Jessie J, Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis amongst its past pupils - where he says everyone knew she was destined for great things: "It was clear she was going to be a star. Some people were that step above everyone else, and Adele was one of them. She was just naturally musically gifted."
