Harry Potter star Emma Watson doesn’t need magic spell to be in  good shape, because she already has it. Donned in  a pink sports bra on Sunday  she shows off her trimmed midriff.


The 21-year-old actress is currently  filming her movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Emma wrote in her blog recently to clarify rumors about why she is not returning to Brown University next year.

“I felt the need to let you all know the reason I took a semester off from Brown had nothing to do with bullying as the media have been suggesting recently. I have never been bullied in my life and certainly never at Brown. This ‘10 points to Gryffindor’ incident never even happened. I feel the need to say this because accusing Brown students of something as serious as bullying and this causing me to leave seems beyond unfair,” Emma wrote.

Out and about the Steel City, Emma Watson was spotted at a health and wellness store in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania yesterday (May 27).

The 21-year-old, who is in the city shooting the movie "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," sported a cute 'n casual look, wearing a loose black tank top, vintage athletic green shorts, and black flats.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair Italia, Emma dished about her love life, or lack thereof because of intimidated men, telling, "It's really hard to have a love story for me. I'm a famous actress. I'm usually surrounded by people who take care of me. And I'm shy. Honestly, I don't know how to come out of this situation. As soon as I find out, I'll let you know."

Watson also revealed that it's hard for her to initiate the relationship, as well, as she told, "I never know what to do. They don't make the first move because they think I'm super busy or unreachable. The result is I'm still single."

Orlando Bloom To Star In The Hobbit

Orlando Bloom is reuniting with his 'Lord of the Rings' director Peter Jackson for 'The Hobbit', the much hyped adaptation of JRR Tolkien's original novel.

Jackson says he is thrilled to work again with Bloom, who played elf Legolas in the 'Rings' series. But the actor will appear in a different role in the new movie, the Hollywood Reporter said.

"Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas. I'm excited to announce today that we'll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more. I'm thrilled to be working with Orlando again," Jackson said in a Facebook post.

The director is currently directing the two-movie adaptation in New Zealand.

The films helped Bloom to achieve stardom. Jackson wrote on his Facebook page, "I look older and he doesn't! I guess that's why he makes such a wonderful elf."

The Hobbit movies, which have been in the works for 14 years, has faced a series of setbacks.

Actors Cate Blanchett, Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood and Andy Serkis are also reprising their roles from Rings in the prequel, which centers on Bilbo (Freeman) finding the supernatural ring and passing it on to his nephew, Frodo (Wood).

The first of the two movies is planned for a December 2012 release and the second is expected a year later.

Movie Review: Attack The Block

Attack The Block, or Attack Da Block, Yo, Innit, if we want to go for the full street effect, is a riotous blast of sci-fi with a quintessential British sense of humour. That doesn't mean its laugh-out-loud every step of the way, no, its comedy lies in the premise as much as offering visual gags and one-liners.

Despite the cast mixing up American and British slang (they our British bobbies 'Feds', for example) and dealing with outer space beasties, this is a very British affair. Forget Richard Curtis' smug Oxbridge rom-coms with their calculated international appeal and picture-postcard London.

Director Joe Cornish offers a more convincing portrayal of modern city and its inhabitants. It isn't some Broken Britain rant or a Ken Loach movie with aliens. Although that would be interesting to see. Instead it's a half-believable portrayal of kids lives on a council estate in south London. Basically they smoke weed, mug strangers and talk shit. Then some aliens turn up.

Moses, Pest, Jerome and the gang are little thugs who in the opening scene mug a young nurse walking home at night after work. The opener is highly convincing and even scary. It's depressingly accurate. The movie's origin lies in Cornish's own mugging six years ago. Instead of 'taking out the scum' and making Harry Brown, he made a fun sci-fi comedy where 'inner city meets outer space'.

Cornish plays a very neat trick as his central characters, at first, are very unlikeable. He coaxes out sympathy and understanding as the story goes on. It might not be totally convincing, but at least he tries to offer an emotional arc. Once the alien lands and the kids, naturally, kick the shit out of it and parade it around their estate like a trophy, the shit hits the fan and they learn - very quickly - that their actions have consequences.

In some ways Attack The Block is reminiscent of last year's French zombie actioner The Horde. The high rise council block is the locale for a fantasy event where different types of people come together in an uneasy alliance. When all hell breaks loose the young lads and gals stand up to the terror and slowly but surely open up as human beings. Moses has a troubled background and looks older than he actually is. Pest gets most of the film's big laughs whether he's trying to chat up the nurse they've come to rely on after mugging, or admitting the whole scenario is scary but "sick" at the same time.

Cornish's debut is an assured film and lots of fun. The street lingo is spot on and often bemusing. It also looks fantastic - and most importantly - cinematic. One scene involving aliens, a smoke-filled corridor and the gang is genuinely creepy. It stops being a comedy for a moment and enters the horror world. Amazingly, Cornish isn't above killing off the odd kid, either. This is a comedy, sure, but it's not Monster Squad or Goonie larks.
