British actress Emma Watson has said that she was quizzed over her sexuality after cutting her hair short, last year.

The Harry Potter star, who recently appeared in My Week With Marilyn, made the revelation in an interview with The Independent newspaper.

Speaking of her headline-grabbing haircut (pictured), Watson said: “I had journalists asking me if this meant I was coming out, if I was a lesbian now.

“That haircut did make me realise how subjective everyone’s opinion is. Some people were crazy for it and some people just thought I’d lost my sh-t. All I can do is follow my instincts, because I’ll never please everyone.”

The 21 year-old, who is also the face of Lancome’s new lipstick, re-iterated this point in an interview with French Elle.

“I’m a multidimensional person and that’s the freedom of fashion,” she says.

“That you’re able to reinvent yourself through how you dress and how you cut your hair or whatever.”

Bloody Disgusting got exclusive word that the Weinstein Company may actually get the long-gestured Kristy off the ground.

We’ve been tipped off that Gary Fleder (Kiss the Girls, Don’t Say a Word ) is now in the director’s chair with a shoot date slated for this coming April. Penned by Tony Jaswinski, the slasher is being pegged as The Strangers on a college campus. It follows a college coed who stays in her dorm during Thanksgiving and is terrorized by four masked assailants on the empty campus — the killers are up against far more than they bargained for.

The Weinstein Company hopes to land Harry Potter star Emma Watson in the lead role of “Justine”, although talks have yet to get underway.

David Kirschner is producing with his David Kirschner Productions.

Poor Emma Watson. In addition to all her other problems, real and/or imaginary, she’s revealed that her ex boyfriend dumped her because she was too famous. However, the cad in question, one Francis Boulle, claims he broke up with La Watson because he didn’t want to become known as the Harry Potter star’s boy toy.

“I have always been an ambitious person and I want to achieve my own notoriety for what I’ve done,” claims Francis. “That’s why I chose not to pursue it any longer, because I didn’t want to be the boyfriend of some child actress.”

Boulle who is now, reportedly, famous in his own right–sort of–as the star of a British reality T.V. show called Made in Chelsea, also said he thought Emma Watson was “very cool and interesting” and not at all like the public’s perception of her. Whatever that is. And although he no longer keeps in touch with his “too” famous ex, he’s pleased that their paths cross from time to time.

Well, Francis Boulle sounds like a gem. Emma Watson is probably well rid of him. Men who can’t deal with a richer, more famous, and/or more successful woman aren’t really very manly are they?

Harry Potter star Emma Watson has reportedly asked her boyfriend Johnny Simmons to move to Britain.

The 21-year-old actress, who is about to take up a place at Oxford University, wants Simmons to be with her when she resumes her studies next month, Daily Mail reported.

“Emma is looking forward to her English degree at Worcester College. She is excited to be back but she misses Johnny. She would love him to come here,” a friend of Watson’s said.

Watson met actor Simmons, 24, on the set of her new film, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, in Pittsburgh.

The two have however never spoken about their relationship in public but have been pictured getting intimate on various occasions.

Just as Hermione’s enrollment at Hogwart’s was bound to come to an end, Harry Potter star Emma Watson will be transferring from Brown University to another school in the fall.

Watson’s rep Vanessa Davies explained the decision by saying the actress, 21, had decided to pursue courses not currently offered at the Rhode Island school, according to The New York Times.

And as for reports that Watson’s change of heart was a result of being bullied on campus, Davies shuts down that theory, saying the star – who turned 21 April 15 – had in fact developed a network of friends and “absolutely loved her time at Brown.”

No word yet on which school the actress, who is currently taking time off from studying to focus on making movies, will be headed to in the fall.

Pretty soon you won’t be able to open a fashion mag without seeing Emma Watson’s adorable mug in it—and there won’t be a wand in sight!

That’s because the Harry Potter star’s ads for Burberry’s spring 2010 collection have just debuted. And we think Em looks fabulous. (Plus, we always liked her style anyway—she’s one of the fiercest fashionistas in Young Hollywood.)

Not only is the 19-year-old Brown student working it for famous fashion photog Mario Testino, but her little brother(on the left), Alex, is posing, too, in his first modeling gig. It’s like a Bonus Jonas!

‘Harry Potter’ star Emma Watson, who is worth £2.8 million, says her friends never let her treat them when they go out and hate it when she gets recognised in public.

Emma Watson, who is worth £2.8 million, says her friends never let her treat them when they go out.

The ‘Harry Potter’ star – who has become one of Britain’s richest teenagers thanks to her role as Hermione Granger in the hit wizard film franchise – admits her fortune can sometimes cause problems among her pals.

She said: “My friends are very proud like that, that’s why I love them. They would be embarrassed if I paid for stuff, and if I ever try, they always say, ‘What are you doing? I want to pay half.’ ”

Emma, 18, also revealed her friends find it difficult when fans approach her in public.

She added to website Movies.ie: “It’s weird for them, especially when people recognise me and come up to me. It’s awkward for them but they are very good about it.

“My friends are very protective, which is sweet.”

The talented star – who recently voiced a character for animated movie ‘The Tale of Despereaux’ – also revealed there are positive and negatives to her worldwide fame.

She said: “The best thing about being involved in ‘Harry Potter’, is that you can make a six year old girl or boy’s day by giving them a handshake and it’s so easy. It costs me so little to make someone incredibly happy so that’s amazing and I’ve walked away and thought, ‘God I’m so lucky to be in a position that people are that excited to meet me.’

“The downside is that the level of curiosity into your life means that it becomes quite intrusive and the level of criticism is hard to deal with sometimes. It can make you really insecure.”
