Actor Richard Griffiths passed away yesterday from complications following heart surgery at age 65. He had a long and honored career, but was probably best known to Harry Potter fans as Harry’s uncle, Vernon Dursley. He also appeared with Emma Watson as Great Uncle Matthew in the 2007 BBC film Ballet Shoes.

Our condolences to Richard Griffiths’ family and friends.

Emma Watson is now immortalized in wax with the launch of her figure at Madame Tussauds in London. “Emma is the perfect addition and we’re very lucky to add her to our A-list line up. She’s a true English rose known and loved by millions of film and fashion fans around the world. Elie Saab donated the stunning gown Emma is wearing and we’re thrilled to have his involvement. She will feel right at home among a host of other glamorous personalities and we know she will be a huge hit with all our guests!” – Nicole Fenner

A new photography book by James Houston will feature new portraits of Emma Watson along with other celebrities, ‘with the goal to raise awareness and funds for the environment and sustainable living’.

My latest project, NATURAL BEAUTY, is a photographic series inspired by the connection I feel to nature in my design work and in the environment. I shot some of the world’s leading celebrities and top models who are also environmentally conscious. The project will launch during World Earth Week 2013 in New York and Los Angeles in collaboration with MILK Galleries NYC. By celebrating the incredible beauty that exists in nature, my hope is that these images will inspire people to appreciate and value nature’s beauty. The environment is a gift we can’t afford to take for granted. We all need to do our part to protect it. – James Houston

Natural Beauty will debut at the Milk Gallery in late April, and will be available for sale this spring. Proceeds will benefit Global Green USA.
