Emma Watson Says She Was Never Bullied Out Of College

Emma Watson - the Harry Potter actress announced last month that she was taking time off from her studies at Brown University to focus on her film career.

There were reports later on that she decided to leave college because she was bullied by fellow students. However, Emma is saying that she was not bullied out of the US Ivy League college at all as the media is portraying.

According to one report, the 21 year old Emma Watson was bullied by classmates when she gave correct answers. They used to make fun of her by shouting, 'Three points for Gryffindor' - reference to the fictional school of Harry Potter.

But Emma insists nothing like that ever happened. In fact, she said it is ridiculous to say that students at Brown University bully fellow students. She chose to take a break for acting and will continue studying again. She said she has never been bullied by anyone all her life.

Anyhow, though I feel students can make fun of her, most of the staff members say she is indeed correct in saying that she was never bullied. Seniors say that there was awareness about her but all of that faded in sometime at the campus.

As it is she joined the college in 2009 and it is a good enough time for students to get used to celebrities kids. This is exactly how it usually happens. I doubt it too that she would be bullied but yes people can make fun and joke around.

Happy Birthday Emma Watson!

It’s still not 12, so we are on time.

Wish you a very happy birthday Ms. Watson! :D

Jack Wills Breached ASA Rules With Provocative Catalogues

Jack Wills, a luxury fashion label that is preferred by celebrities such as Prince Harry, Emma Watson and Hugh Grant is under a lot of speculation because of its bold advertising. The advertising authorities are worried the label is using extremely provocative pictures on its clothing catalogue.

So far it has been observed that Jack Wills has published catalogues with nearly naked women in the catalogue. They have also shown images of a woman wearing nothing but a brief. Similarly, they have shown topless woman being held by a man and the girl's upper half was fairly prominently displayed. Often, the models pose in a sexual position besides revealing body parts.

It is breaching advertising rules and is not such a positive influence on younger teenagers.

Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) will censure Jack Wills, which is not for the British company that started a decade ago. Though the censor will not harm its position in anyway.

However, Jack Wills has responded that all its models were over the age of 18. Besides they say, that their products are for university students and not for school children. Anybody who wants a catalogue needs to tick and confirm if they are 18 years or older.

ASA is sure that the label is influencing and inspiring school children towards a dangerous lifestyle too early. Also, considering the loyal following of celebrities like Prince Harry and Hugh Grant is aspirational enough.

Jack Wills was started in 1999 but two University College London graduates -Peter Williams and Robert Shaw. Their clothes are quite expensive. They aim to target privileged students and their shops are only in university towns and wealthy areas of London.

I understand that sex does sell to quite an extent and most advertisers seem to use this strategy. It is used as an appeal obviously to touch the senses and catalogues are an important part of a clothing business. I guess Jack Wills already has an impressive client and customer base and censuring won't damage their profits.

It is ok if ASA is taking these measures after a good 10 years - they are doing their bit. But teenagers and kids will always have access to things anyway in one way or the other. It is not easy to hide anything from nobody in these times.

Emma Watson is the New Face of Lancome

Emma was shooting scenes on location for her upcoming Lancome advertisement filming in Paris, France on March 15, 2011.

In a statement, company president Youcef Nabi said: "Thanks to her charm, romanticism and her incredible modernity, Emma Watson has become the icon of her generation. We are delighted by this new collaboration with Emma who brings a fresh spirit to Lancome."

Emma also posted a couple of tweets regarding this. They seem more like teasers.

Tweet 1: “A new venture is starting - what can it be? Follow my clues and you will see..."

Tweet 2: “I'll pierce your skin if you hold me wrong but I'll love you forever if you pass me on,''

Tweet 3: “This Pretty Woman was their latest recruit. Other great actresses have previously followed suit."

Tweet 4: “It starts with an L and ends with an E. I’m sure you have guessed the new face of Lancôme is me!”

Quite a drama! Well I don’t find her adorable & talented. Her smile can have a terrible effect on you. And God knows what she has done to her hair but everyone adores it. And that hat is equally pathetic. Her attitude just like her smile can have ominous effects. I do remember that she’s 20. Last time I thought she was just 12. By effects I mean things that could happen & those things could be different in different cases. I’ll just give you one clue.When Anita Ayub used to smile, some people literally had the urge to cry.
