Emma Watson Heading Back To Brown University To Finish Her Degree

Providence, Rhode Island and Brown University will see Emma Watson‘s return this winter as she returns to her studies.

The 22 year-old has always said she was serious about her education but had to many professional obligations to handle both so she took some time off. As of January 2013, Watson will go back to being a full time student at Brown.

“I will still be working towards my degree … it’s just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought,” Watson said on her blog at the time when she took off a semester.

Emma, who has wrapped promo duties for Harry Potter and The Perks of Being a Wallflower and completed Sophia Coppola‘s The Bling Ring, is currently filming Noah with Russell Crowe and Logan Lerman. When that wraps, Watson will have the holidays with family and then immerse herself back in her studies.

Watson, who spent her junior year studying abroad, has always maintained she would return to her schooling. Looks like she is making good on her self-promise.

Emma Watson Talks Romance & Body Acceptance With Glamour UK

Emma Watson pretties up the October cover of Glamour UK in a gorgeous Zac Posen dress.

The 22 year-old actress is promoting her upcoming film The Perks of Being a Wallflower and sat down with the magazine to talk dating, body image and coming to terms with her own body.

Watson, who is reportedly currently dating a fellow university student, Will Adamowicz, says she isn’t into the famous boyfriend scene:

“I try not to,” she said. “It definitely makes me nervous. I haven’t tried to make other celebrity friends or date people who are in my industry, because it’s difficult and it can be really superficial. I’m lucky that most of the people I’ve dated I’ve been at university with.”

The Harry Potter star also opened up about what she’s learned for a healthy relationship:

“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,” she shared.  “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 Watson Puts An End To ‘Fifty Shades Of Grey’ Casting Rumors

Emma Watson

Is Emma Watson joining the Fifty Shades of Grey movie?

In a word, no.

Watson, 22, debunked the casting rumor by telling Entertainment Weekly this isn’t the first time the internet has attached to a high profile project.

“I haven’t read the book, I haven’t a read a script, nothing,” Watson said.

“There are so many movies you become attached to when I’ve literally never even received a phone call. It was the same way with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo – I never even saw a script!”

The erotic novel by EL James was based on The Twilight Saga fan fiction Master of the Universe and grew into an entity of it’s own. Emma was rumored to be playing Anastasia.

The rumors were so rampant, the Harry Potter actress said she also had to deny taking the part to her family.

“I told them just because there are 60 articles on the Internet doesn’t mean it’s any less true than if there are three or four,” Watson told.

“The thing is I’m not going to go out there every time someone attaches me to a film to say no or release a statement.”

Watson will next be seen in The Perks of Being A Wallflower, with Logan Lerman, Nina Dobrev and Mae Whitman due September 14th.

She recently completed filming Sofia Coppola‘s The Bling Ring and is working with Darren Aronofsky on the biblical epic Noah.

Emma Watson, Julianne Moore & Liev Schreiber May Join Darren Aronofsky’s Biblical ‘Noah’

Darren Aronofsky has been trying to make his big screen version of Noah, the biblical story of a man, a flood and his ark, for a few years. Now it looks like the time is finally right for the film to move forward.

Aronofsky has cast Russell Crowe as Noah and actors Logan Lerman and Douglas Booth are also confirmed to play his sons.

This week three other names are in the mix to join the pic: Emma Watson, Julianne Moore and Liev Schreiber.

If negotiations work out Watson would play Ila, a young woman who falls in love with Shem played by Booth.

Schreiber is up for the role of Noah’s antagonist and Julianne Moore could be Noah’s wife Naameth. Jennifer Connelly has been rumored to be in the lead for that part but Moore is reportedly in the running as well.

Emma Watson Steps Out To ‘Struck By Lighting’ Premiere At Tribeca Film Festival

Emma Watson

Emma Watson caught the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Struck By Lightning this weekend. Her look for the evening mixed demure, almost dainty florals with a black leather jacket for a schoolgirl goes punk vibe.

Struck By Lightning marks the screenwriting debut for Glee‘s Chris Colfer, who also stars.  It looks back on a high school senior’s last few weeks of life, leading up to his death by – you guessed it – a bolt of lightning.   The cast also includes Christina Hendricks, Allison Janney and Sarah Hyland.

Emma Watson To ‘Elle France’: “I’m Kind Of Boring”

Emma Watson

I try not to use the phrase “gracing the cover” of a magazine anymore; I think it’s way overused.  That’s never a problem when it comes to Emma Watson, though.  While she’s entirely graceful in every way, she doesn’t just “grace” a magazine cover:  she ROCKS it.

To wit:  Watson’s cover for the current issue of Elle France Weekly (January 27, 2012).  Photographer Rankin caught her looking fierce, flirty and just plain fabulous.

Emma talks fashion and fame with the magazine.  Some highlights from her interview:

On her now-famous pixie haircut:  “For ten years, because of my Harry Potter contract, I wasn’t allowed to cut my  hair.  This summer, when I could finally do as I liked, I really went for it!”

On her personal style:  My problem is that I’m kind of boring.  I don’t carry designer handbags or wear huge sunglasses.

On choosing to embrace fame rather than reject it:  “When I don’t have to be “Emma Watson” in public, I prefer not to put myself out there.  Someone asked me why I took the job with Lancôme if I wanted to stay out of the spotlight.  In fact, I’ve let go of the idea that perhaps I could someday become anonymous again.  Before, I used to insist on riding buses and trains:  my way of rebelling against my suffocating fame.  But last year, I was in Bangladesh, passing through a very poor village, with huts made of dried mud.  This ragged little boy asked me, ‘Hey, aren’t you the girl from Harry Potter?’ I mean, what can you do?”

Emma Watson’s New Lancôme Ad Is Red Hot

Emma Watson

Emma Watson is her usual classy and sexy self in her latest ad for Lancôme.    She’s introducing the cosmetic company’s new Rouge In Love line of lipsticks.  The line features 24 shades, offered at $25 each, and is directed at a teen consumer.

Lancôme International President Youcef Nabi explained:

“…the idea is to make this young generation — that has been a gloss fan — come back to using lipsticks…they were complaining about the fact that the classical lipsticks were heavy on lips.  So we invented a formula which is a brand new generation of texture that is at the same time very intense color and six-hour perfect wear.”

Watson worked with the company to create the range of shades, and if that’s not appealing enough to young women, Lancôme plans to make the line even more youth friendly by introducing a new app, Virtual Mirror, along with the lipsticks.    Nabi commented:

“You will be able to try all the shades by downloading your picture.  It’s really you transformed [before] your eyes.”

She also revealed details about Vernis In Love, a collection of matching nail polishes.

“Lipstick doesn’t come without a nail enamel.  It’s the ultimate fashion accessory.”

You can find Rouge In Love and Vernis In Love online and at Nordstrom stores beginning in February.

WATCH: Michelle Williams Take On Marilyn Monroe In ‘My Week With Marilyn’

Michelle Williams is taking on the screen legend and icon Marilyn Monroe (see her Monroe inspired October cover and photo spread for Vogue here) for the biopic My Week with Marilyn.

The story takes place during the filming of The Prince and the Showgirl, which Monroe and Sir Lawrence Olivier (played by Kenneth Branagh) filmed in the summer of 1956 in England.

Monroe, who was just married to playwright Arthur Miller (Dougray Scott) at the time, was accompanied by production assistant Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne) who went on to write about the experience – with one week missing.

That stretch of time is the film’s core – when the 23 year-old was enraptured with the Hollywood star and pulled into her life.

Dominic Cooper, Dame Judi Dench, Julia Ormond and Emma Watson costar.

For any actress to play a larger-than-life persona like Monroe, the task can be daunting and intimidating so will she pull it off? Check out the trailer and see what you think.
