Here’s nerd queen Emma Watson in Madrid for a screening of her new movie Regression, and yeah, I still think she should be using some of that sweet, sweet Harry Potter money to buy anew pair of bolt-ons or a better (i.e.more revealing) wardrobe. But Ican’t lie, she still looks super-cute, even if I think […]

Emma Watson covers the September issue of Vogue UK. They refer to her as “the voice of a generation.” Which is laying it on a bit thick, but sure. She?s a good name for the September issue of any magazine, but it does feel like Vogue UK sort of phoned it in with this editorial. I?m okay with the cover (it?s a little bit too ?undone? but she looks nice), but the second photo (at the end of the post) is really unflattering. She looks like an unwashed 12 year old. I was hoping that Emma would really give a lengthy interview for the September issue too, but so far, the excerpts are just kind of meh. Some highlights:
How she felt the night before delivering her HeForShe speech at the UN last year: “I was in my hotel room, thinking, I can?t do this. I was just terrified. And then I Skyped a friend who said, ‘Go through it again and ask yourself, if you were hit by a bus tomorrow, would you be comfortable with every single line?’”
How she feels now after her UN speech: ?[I feel a sense of] belonging and purpose. I understood what I?m here to do and knew where to channel all this energy that has been coming at me. I now feel this sense of peace. People say that I?m different since I did it.”
How she used to feel in the public eye: ‘Incredibly uncomfortable?I really wrestled [with success]. I tend to turn in on myself. I feel like an imposter.”
Her acting career: ?When I was younger, I just did it. I just acted. It was just there.?
[From The Independent]
Emma?s UN speech last September was good, although I?m still slightly mystified as to why people considered it so groundbreaking. I think it was probably a combination of using a very famous and popular young woman to deliver the message, plus her speech was a coherent and well-delivered argument for men and women to consider themselves feminists in everyday life.

Here is Emma Watson participating in a live Q&A with fans about gender equality to commemorate International Women?s Day (IWD) at Facebook HQ in London.
?We?re never, ever, ever going to be able to fly as high unless we?re both in support of each other,? the 24-year-old British actress said. ?It?s not about men saving women, and I think that?s a misunderstanding. Women are already in the club. We?re already in the club because it?s our movement. It?s not a men?s club. It?s an equality club for both genders.?

Sunday was International Women?s Day, and the United Nations? HeForShe goodwill ambassador Emma Watson did a live Facebook Q&A to celebrate. Emma went viral last year when she made her first speech at the UN, discussing feminism, equality and why men should proudly proclaim they are feminists as well. I was surprised by the reaction to Emma?s speech, because she really didn?t say anything groundbreaking. I suppose it was ?new? to a generation that grew up alongside Emma though.
Anyway, after Emma?s speech went viral, Emma got some really awful threats and comments from ?men?s rights activists?. There was even the ?threat? to release nude photos of Emma? because she talked about feminism or something. That site threatening to release the photos ended up being a hoax or some kind of advertising for something else, although let?s be honest: there were lots of men?s rights activists who were truly pissed off at her. In her Facebook chat, Emma spoke about the situation:
On the backlash to her speech: “There was a website set up that was threatening to release naked images of me, with like a countdown and whatever else. I knew it was a hoax. I knew the pictures didn?t exist.”
Whether that moment was evidence of gender inequality: “A lot of people close to me knew gender equality was an issue but didn’t think it was that urgent. You know, ‘We live in Great Britain ? this is a thing of the past. We?re fine. We?re good. We have got far enough.’ When they saw that the minute I stepped up and talked about women’s rights I was immediately threatened. I mean within less than 12 hours I was receiving threats. I think they were really shocked and one of my brothers in particular was very upset.”
Gender equality in small gestures: “I actually took a man out for dinner and I chose the restaurant and I offered to pay. It was really awkward and uncomfortable ? I?m just going to say that. It was not going down well! He was just like ‘I’m not really sure about this.’ It was making him a bit tetchy. But the cool thing about it was we were both willing to have the conversation about why it was awkward and why it was uncomfortable. We were able to have the dialogue ‘It?s OK. I chose the restaurant as it is my favorite restaurant and I would love to pay. But next time you chose the restaurant and you pay.’ “

Do you find it disingenuous that Emma talks so much about the naked-photo-hoax without acknowledging that it was in fact a hoax? I don?t, but that?s because I wouldn?t blame her at all for not keeping up with that story and how it all turned out to be a hoax. And there were days when no one knew if it was a hoax and it just seemed like so many ?men?s rights activists? were legitimately pissed. As for Emma?s attempt at going dutch or outright paying for a date? is that really still a thing? Even when I was in college, I would still offer to pay and sometimes the dudes would take me up on it. Maybe I?ve just known really unchivalrous men in my life.

Disney is obsessed with redoing their classic animated films as live-action ?retellings.? It worked out for them with Maleficent last year, and now they?re going ahead with the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast. They already know who will Belle too? little Emma Watson. I don?t know? All of the other sites I?ve seen have been covering this like it?s perfect casting. But I?m not so sure?maybe it?s because I?m kind of old and I don?t have a huge connection to the animated film, but I just have my concerns about whether this should even be made.
?Harry Potter? alum Emma Watson has closed a deal to star in Disney?s live-action musical ?Beauty and the Beast,? TheWrap has learned.
Bill Condon (?The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn?) will direct from a script written by Stephen Chbosky, who directed Watson in ?The Perks of Being a Wallflower.? Evan Spiliotopoulos wrote the previous draft of the screenplay.
David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are producing under their Mandeville Films banner.
Watson is set to play Belle in ?Beauty and the Beast,? which is the latest Disney classic to receive a live-action adaptation following ?Maleficent,? ?Cinderella? and Jon Favreau?s upcoming take on ?The Jungle Book.?
Watson had previously been attached to star in Guillermo del Toro?s ?Beauty,? which the director was developing for Warner Bros. before exiting the project in June, when Disney hired Condon. When WB?s version hit a snag, Disney began to court Watson for its own adaptation with del Toro?s blessing, as the studio agreed that Watson would be perfect as Belle, according to a source.

Emma confirmed the news on her Facebook, writing in part: ?It was such a big part of my growing up, it almost feels surreal that I’ll get to dance to ‘Be Our Guest’ and sing ‘Something There’. My six year old self is on the ceiling – heart bursting. Time to start some singing lessons.? She has to sing those songs too? Whoa.
Obviously, now we need to figure out who should be cast as Gaston and the Beast. Someone suggested Jason Momoa for the Beast? That would be? interesting. I have no idea who they would cast as Gaston though. James Franco?

We?re in the midst of a lot of end-of-year listicles and Best-of-2014 summaries, some of which are really boring. But I found this one interesting: the Top Celebrity Feminists of 2014. The list was compiled by the Ms. Foundation and Cosmopolitan Magazine, and it was done by online poll. So? I?m actually shocked that Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch weren?t on the top of the list, considering the online presence of the dragonflies and Cumberbitches. But you know who else has a big online presence? Emma Watson?s fans. Thus, Emma was named the top celebrity feminist of 2014, mostly for her UN speech in support of the UN HeForShe campaign, which went viral several months ago. You can see the list of top celebrity feminists here.
Emma Watson was voted the top feminist of 2014 in a Ms. Foundation for Women online poll, conducted in partnership with Cosmopolitan.com, and it’s a well-deserved win. In 2014, the 24-year-old actress gave a rousing speech about gender equality to the United Nations, telling men, “Gender equality is your issue too.” In her role as a UN Goodwill Ambassador, she also helped launch the “He for She” campaign to work with men in ending violence against women. Watson’s speech also made Cosmopolitan.com’s list of the 2014 best moments for women.
“I want men to take up this mantle,” Watson said in her speech, “so their daughters, sisters, and mothers can be free from prejudice, but also so that their sons have permission to be vulnerable and human too ? reclaim those parts of themselves they abandoned and in doing so be a more true and complete version of themselves.”
Here are the top 10 2014 feminists, according to Ms. Foundation voters:
Emma Watson
Laverne Cox
Rachel Maddow
Beyonc
Cher
Amy Poehler
Tina Fey
Meryl Streep
Mindy Kaling
Ann Curry
“We celebrate all feminists every day, but today we’re giving a hat tip to celebrities who are helping to promote women’s equality,” Ms. Foundation President and CEO Teresa Younger said in a statement. “Every celebrity on the list has either embraced the term ‘feminist,’ spoken out for women’s equal rights, or battled against sexist oppression.”

You know what? I don?t have a problem with this list at all. And I kind of like that we?re now compiling lists of feminists, you know? Emma?s speech went viral and she really did change the pop culture conversation about feminism. Laverne Cox is amazing and a committed activist for LGBT causes. Rachel Maddow is my girl. Beyonce has to be included or The Hive will burn the place down. Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are incredible women. Mindy Kaling is awesome. I enjoyed this list!

Here are some photos from last night?s British Fashion Awards, one of the biggest nights for fashion? in the UK. I was right when I covered the London Evening Standard Theatre Awards yesterday ? many fashion people were specifically in town for the British Fashion Awards, and they just showed up at the ES event the night before. Let?s start with Emma Watson, shall we? Emma wore this Dior coat over a Misha Nonoo jumpsuit. To me, this look is totally wrong for such a young woman. I know what she was aiming for, though, and I guess I have to give her some props for mixing it up and trying something different. PS: the lip color is wrong too.
Victoria Beckham wore her own design, of course. David came out to support his lady, and he wore Dior. I really dislike Posh?s ensemble.
Naomie Harris in Peter Pilotto. I love this on her ? when everyone else is wearing gowns, she shows up in a great, colorful mini. Her body is amazing too.
Michelle Dockery in Erdem? this is actually one of my favorite looks of the night!
Alexa Chung looks like she?s carrying a fancy lunchbox.
Here are Cara & Poppy Delevingne, two of the Delevingne sisters. For my money, Poppy is much sexier than Cara. Cara still looks like Angry Baby to me, and I?m sort of aghast by Cara?s inability to make expensive clothes look interesting in the real world. Still, Cara won ?Model of the Year? at this event. Sigh?Poppy?s dress is Topshop. Cara?s dress is custom Burberry.
Karlie Kloss in a shiny satin number. I?m not a fan. Not to be rude, but if you?re a tall, blonde-ish model and you look like every other tall, blonde-ish model, you should try a little bit harder to stand out from the crowd.

Here are some photos from last night?s 2014 BAFTA Los Angeles Jaguar Britannia Awards in Beverly Hills. The turnout was so-so. I?m sort of disappointed that many of our favorite British people didn?t show up, but hey, they got Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo and Judi Dench! Judi Dench never comes out for any of these shows, so this is actually an event! The biggest fashion headline from this event was Emma Watson in this Balenciaga ensemble. It reminds me of something Kristen Stewart would wear. Eh. I?m seen Emma do better, but this is far from offensive. I like that she?s wearing pants, but I would have loved to see her in something more awards-carpet-y. Emma received the British Artist of the Year Award. Judi Dench received the Albert Broccoli Worldwide Contribution Award.
Here?s Hailee Steinfeld in a Roksanda Illinic dress and Charlotte Olympia clutch. She?s such a pretty young woman!
Julia Louis-Dreyfus was honored for ?excellence in comedy.? People really love Veep, don?t they? I like it and I like Julia, but I don?t think it?s the funniest thing ever. She looks stunning in this gown! Also: she?s a vampire. She?s 53 years old!
Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey were there, and they spent a lot of time with RDJ?s bud Mark Ruffalo and Mark?s wife Sunrise. RDJ won the Stanley Kubrick Award. That photo of Mark holding Robert is pretty special, right?
