Heh. Harry Potter star Emma Watson starts school at Columbia University in the fall, and her only request? "As long as there are no Harry Potter posters on the wall, I will be fine and happy," she says. Emma will be going all-out and living in the dorms, and she's hoping she gets a roommate who isn't a big Harry Potter fan.
But co-star Daniel Radcliffe hopes otherwise. "I really hope they are a really massive Harry Potter fan," he joked. "I hope you walk in and the first thing you see is your...
Normally I don't go for horror flicks, but I think I'll have to catch the upcoming Megan Fox flick, Jennifer's Body. Megan plays an evil lesbian cheerleader who kills boys. Amanda Seyfried is trying to stop her. Need I say more? Trailer above. />

At the 3 Olives party last night, I tracked down a bunch more celebs to get the dirt on their lives. Erin Lucas -- chain-smoking in the VIP area (NYC clubs are all non-smoking) and "catching up" with her ex-boyfriend from The City -- took time to take a pic with me and answer some questions about why she wasn't returning to the next season of The City. "I’m doing a couple things on the side," she says. "I can’t really talk about it very much. It was a personal decision of mine to not continue on to season two. I’m kind of a gypsy. I’d like to focus on hosting -- that's what I went to school for, and that's what I love." I asked her about the AC/DC tat on her side -- her dad's the bassist for the group -- and she said she changed her last name and tried to hide the fact that he was her father. "I never wanted to be known as the girl whose dad was in AC/DC, but that flew right out the window after the first season."

Hey kids! So, I'm in NYC right now, having a blast and chasing down stories. I attended a party tonight for 3 Olives and the launch of their new bubblegum-flavored vodka. I didn't try it, but the verdict was that it was "weird but good." Go figure. Or just go buy a bottle.
Kim Kardashian was hosting the event, so I got a chance to speak with her. We talked about Paris Jackson's moving speech at her father's memorial (you can view it here) and Kim weighed in with some of her own experience. "I spoke at my father’s funeral," she said, referring to the late Robert Kardashian, "and that was the hardest thing I had to do, and I was 22, and she’s only 11. I just thought it was really brave of her. But it was really something she wanted to do. She wasn’t scheduled to talk, but you could very much see that day that she wanted to say something to all the people. She was standing on the side saying she wanted to speak. I was so glad that I spoke at my father’s funeral, even though I was really nervous and thought I couldn’t do it, but that one opportunity to speak your mind is so important, and she lived in the moment."
So what's up next for Kim?
"I’m producing my own shows," she says. "I think that’s the next step for me, getting in the background and producing. I love the whole process of making a show, creating a show and seeing it come to life. There’s a competition-type show, a reality show, there’s a few that I have in the works."
I really wanted to show you guys what a red carpet looks like from a reporter's perspective. These things are INSANE. So I took video of Kim & Khloe doing the carpet. The audio is relatively quiet in the video, but in person it's just deafening screams coming from every direction yelling at every person about everything. It's a total madhouse. Every time I see one of things things in person it just blows me away. That said, all the reporters and photographers on the carpet got along really well this time, and I met some fantastic folks from People, Star, Life & Style and E!, all of whom were covering the event as well. I made friends! And we all sat there and made fun of the celebs when we weren't talking to them. I have found my people. />

I dunno about you guys, but I'm picking up on a theme in Beyonce's videos off of this record.
I think it's a good time for a fill-in-the-blank game.
The theme of Beyonce's videos from the I Am ... Sasha Fierce album is: __________________ .
Your suggestions go in the comments.
You can watch the "Ego" video here and the "Single Ladies" video here. The "Halo" video breaks most of the rules, but it's here anyway. />

Does Michael Jackson deserve to adulation he's received post-mortem? Here's my story:
"So the Jackson story's pretty much run its course?" a friend asked me tonight. "No," I said. "At least six months more. At least."
He was flabbergasted. "What could they be talking about for six months?"
Well, we'll talk about the biological parentage of his kids, we'll talk about who gets what in his estate, we'll talk about who whore what to court and whether they were late; people will from time to time bring up the whereabouts of Bubbles and a potential feature film, at some point Macualay Culkin will have to weigh in, and then every now and then someone will make a very, very horrible but pee-your-pants funny joke about his death and I will laugh. Like what just happened a few hours ago. No, I'm not repeating it. But seriously. This is going to last FOREVER, so hop on the train and get a seat.
It's a fascinating phenomenon, this public outcry of grief we see when a major celebrity passes. These deaths are an opportunity for mass catharsis. It's not that these people are crying over Michael Jackson or Farrah Fawcett specifically; they're externalizing pain that's probably needed a release for some time. You see a sort of mob mentality take over -- the grief feeds upon the grief. In today's society, how often do we get an opportunity to stand on the street with strangers and share a good cry? It's not really my style, but I can see the appeal. There are certainly less healthy outlets for pain.
Michael Jackson died from an accidental overdose of the prescription pills he was abusing. He died of addiction, which is a disease. That disease doesn't make him a bad person, or less worthy of adulation, than if he'd died of cancer. Bill O'Reilly thinks otherwise. />

Dr. Arnold Klein -- the rumored bio-dad of Paris and Prince -- appeared on Good Morning America today, where he grinned and stated that "to the best of my knowledge, I'm not the father."
He continues to say that "I don't want to feed any of this insanity that's going around," which is FOR SURE not what he's doing by appearing on national television and giving vague answers about the paternity of Michael's children. Bravo, dude. Way to take the high road. />

Being an "actress" isn't going so hot for Lindsay Lohan, but her leggings line did well and her self-tanner's holding its own, too, so it looks like the starlet is looking to do some more off-screen work: She and her fashion-line partner, Kristi Kaylor, have launched a production company called Unforgettable Productions.
The duo are developing several projects including a TV show called "Faux Real," described as "Entourage" for the fashion world.
There's also a game show involving dating...
Poor Michael Jackson! As we'd assumed originally following his death, it appears the talented singer struggled terribly in a battle against drugs.
Documents obtained by CNN -- created in 2004 during preparations for Jackson's molestation trial -- indicate that the singer took between 10 and 40 Xanax pills a night. (Although no one seems to know the dosage of those pills, which is strange. Usually these things are described in milligrams, not "pills.") The documents show that Michael used his emp...
A couple of weeks ago, I went on a little rant about an episode of Kathy Griffin's show where Paris Hilton said she never performs a certain sexual act that we've all seen her perform multiple times on video.
What I didn't mention was that during that same episode, Kathy & Paris's trip was interrupted by Jill Zarin from Real Housewives of New Jersey York. The show made it seem as though Jill had just burst in on them and then wanted to tag along all day. Not so, claimed Jill, when I caugh...
The city of LA -- already half a billion bucks in debt -- shelled out another $1.4 mil to throw the biggest memorial bash in recent memory for Michael Jackon.
Matt Szabo, a spokesman for Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, hailed the tally a success. He said it was "far less" than the initial estimate of $4 million.
The amount included $1.1 million in overtime pay for the 4,173 officers who worked to secure Staples Center, Forest Lawn cemetery and other areas that attracted fans and members o...
Take a deep breath and allow yourself to be open to the possibility that Eddie Furlong's 3-year marriage to 25-year-old Rachael Bella didn't stick. Because it's true. It may rock the very foundations of your world to hear this, but, if it's any consolation, it'll be a lot harder on their 3-year-old son Ethan.
Furlong is currently 31 years old. He's been working steadily since his Terminator days, but nothing very big.
Oh, and just for fun: Remember when he used to date Natasha Lyonne? Man...
