Reminder: The deadline for our Holiday Project is coming up soon. Don’t delay!

My Week with Marilyn is one of the highlights at this years Dubai International Film Festival. On Tuesday the 13th, a red carpet event will be followed at 8 pm with a screening of the movie at the Madinat Arena. Variety reported that Emma Watson will attend, along with Michelle Williams, Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench. There has been no other confirmation of this, so I would say it’s still a rumour. We’ll bring you more information if it becomes available.

While we wait to see if this rumour is true, we do have a new promotional image of Emma as her character Lucy, thanks to Jennica.

We have more from Emma Watson’s visit to Hong Kong. Louis was at the Lancome VIP dinner and sent in photos from the event. Click the thumb to view more in the gallery. Thank you Louis.

In an interview, Emma peeks through the microphones and talks about visiting Hong Kong, sightseeing, and speaking Cantonese.

Emma Watson is in Hong Kong to promote Lancôme. Emma was present at a launch event and later a VIP dinner. We have a mix of HQ and LQ photos courtesy of celebutopia and various tumblr and weibo accounts.

We though we’d try something different for this years Holiday Project. Since Emma opened her official site we have been getting video messages from her for the holidays. So we thought it would be fun to put together a video greeting from her fans. You send us a video of yourself wishing her Happy Holidays, or Merry Christmas, and we’ll combine them and send them on to Emma.

If you can’t do a video, or just too shy, we will also make a nice card for Emma like we have in previous years. You can send in a message, artwork, graphics, pictures, poems, stories. Anything you like to say Happy Holidays in your own way.

For details on how to participate, visit the project page.
