Emma appeared on the ITV program Travels in Written Britain today, a new series about “how the places of Britain have influenced writers throughout history.” Emma read an excerpt from George Eliot’s great niece’s diary. We have a video her segment. It’s not the best quality, but it’s all I’ve seen so far. Thanks to Danielle for sending it in.

Update: We have high quality version now in the video archive. Credit to snoop at celebutopia.

There is news today from The Hollywood Reporter that Emma is attached to star in Napolean and Betsy after Scarlett Johansson dropped out. From the article: “Watson will play Betsy Balcombe, a young, impetuous noblewoman trapped on the isolated British Isle of St. Helena who falls in love with Napoleon, who is in exile on the island.” The period drama would likely begin shooting in the fall before Deathly Hallows starts in 2009. Thanks to everyone that let us know.

TV Alert
We have also heard that Emma will be appearing on the ITV program Travels in Written Britain, a new series that will look at “how the places of Britain have influenced writers throughout history.” Emma will read an excerpt from George Eliot’s great niece’s diary. Thanks to the Sassy forums via musicnote. source

The program will air on ITV1 on Sunday at 10.45pm. If anyone can send us a capture we would appreciate it. High quality is best.

I think most of you know by now that Emma had a great birthday surprise for her fans. She was filming on her birthday, but she took some time during breakfast to video a thank you message to all her fans. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should definitely go check it out on her site, http://www.emmawatsonofficial.com/.

We have an online version of the birthday project now. To make it download friendly, some pages were removed and graphics were compressed, but all the fan stories and messages are included. Click on the thumb to download in Acrobat format. Thank you to everyone who sent in their birthday wishes, pictures and stories.

Emma’s site has been updated with another set of fan-art. And her birthday candle is getting shorter. 🙂

Emma is on another list, Stylelist’s The Most Stylish Teen Stars. Thanks to Dana for the tip. “Harry Potter hottie Emma Watson’s eye for couture has made her a fashion force to be reckoned with at the tender age of 17. For the opening of the Vanity Fair exhibit at the London Portrait Gallery, she’s stunning in Burberry Prorsum.”

Emma appeared in two recent issues of the UKs Mizz magazine from March/April. Thanks to Emma C for the scans.

We also have a scan from InStyle showing Emma at last year’s Chanel show. This was posted anonymously on the forums so if this is your scan let us know and we’ll credit you.

With Emma’s birthday coming up soon, we thought it would be nice to choose an Emma related site for our April Site Of The Month. So, we’ve selected one of our favorites, Sassy. It’s a great site all about Emma’s style, makeup, etc.

Have a nice day!

Hey EW.netters,

Today, we have two new videos for you… They’re from the Empire Awards 2008 and Emma shortly appears in them. You can watch them here and here.

Also, Jo updated EWO with the third and last promised picture and it is absolutely gorgeous so go check it out now!

EDIT:

And a million thanks to our forum member Milly and Megan from  Magical-Menagerie for posting a scan from the magazine Vogue (UK edition) that shows Emma at the opening of Balenciaga’s Mount Street store that took place on the 12 of February this year. Update: Credit to shyngr8 on the forums for the original scan.

 

The comment about Emma says:

“I joined Emma Watson (in flats so as not to upset her teen fanclub!) at the opening of Balenciaga’s Mount Street store followed by a cosy dinner at Harry’s Bar, hosted by Charlotte Gainsbourg and Nicolas Ghesquiere.”

You can also read a blog article about it here! 🙂
