Harry Potter Actress Attacked By Relatives

The Harry Potter cast may be a big, happy family, but one of their own has family troubles that are quite severe. The brother and father of 22-year-old actress Afshan Azad (who plays Padma Patil, the student Ron dated in Goblet of Fire ) have been charged with threatening to kill her at her home in Manchester. Yikes. Azad will next appear in the series wrap up, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. [ BBC ]

BREAKING: Andrew Garfield Cast as Peter Parker in Marc Webb’s Spider-Man Reboot

Whoa! So that happened. The statement just came in from Sony, and while we collect ourselves, we’ll let you read it. It’s a great choice, though an older one than I was expecting them to make. More tomorrow:

Will the New Mel Gibson Controversy Wreck Jodie Foster’s The Beaver?

I had no doubt that the Mel Gibson/Oksana Grigorieva breakup as going to get ugly, but I guess I didn’t quite anticipate it to get this ugly: Radar Online has come into some nasty tirades the actor unleashed on his ex , and it ain’t pretty. The centerpiece line — “You look like a f***ing pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of n***ers, it will be your fault” — has already resuscitated memories of Gibson’s infamously anti-Semitic 2006 arrest in Malibu, a blight that caused the actor to disappear from the screen until this year. In fact, 2010 was supposed to herald a comeback for Gibson, thanks to his role in Jodie Foster’s quirky comedy The Beaver . Now what?

Dean McDermott in ICU After Motorcycle Accident

Tori Spelling’s husband Dean McDermott crashed his motorcycle for the second time this year on Tuesday, suffering a punctured lung and ending up in intensive care. The 43-year-old reality star was well enough to Tweet today, “Thanks for the well wishes. A collapsed lung is no fun, and is a lengthy heal. Feeling pretty bad today. Day 2 is always the worst.” Spelling says he’s expected to make a full recovery and ditch his motorcycle for good. [ People ]

Kristen Stewart Preparing Her Next Apology

“I don’t feel very comfortable on the red carpet,” Kristen Stewart recently told Hello! What else is new? Oh: “I look out there at a thousand people and I realize they could rush me and assassinate me. No security could protect me. Ostensibly they’re fans, but I think about them turning on me.” Sigh. On the bright side, at least she has a year off to get the next press tour right. Or get better security. [ PopEater ]

Jersey Shore’s Vinny Guadagnino on Miami, Suspicious Girls, and Firing Rumors

Vinny Gaudagnino is the self-touted family man of MTV’ s reality juggernaut Jersey Shore , the ever-pinchable voice of reason who declares the “GTL” lifestyle a little ridiculous and who tames JWOWW after she punches The Situation in the chest. He’s a party guy whose fist-pimping prowess is second to none, though his vainglorious co-stars tend to dwarf him when it comes to rambunctious spectacle and occasional insanity. Luckily, with the premiere of season two less than a month away, Vinny’s just as torqued as Snooki or DJ Pauly D for the debauchery to begin anew. But did he thrive away from Seaside Heights in the new ecosystem of Miami? Movieline wanted answers. We phoned Vinny earlier this week to discuss season two, his artistic (and political!) ambitions, and the rumors that he won’t be on board for season three.

Why Wearing Glasses is the Best Thing Stanley Tucci Ever Did

Yesterday, a whole bunch of stills were released for the upcoming Christina Aguilera/Cher strip-musical Burlesque , and while they’re interesting in a “perhaps this isn’t quite the best time to launch Christina Aguilera as a major movie star” kind of way, there was only one thing I really wanted to know: does Stanley Tucci wear glasses in it? As you can see, he does , and admit it… didn’t your interest just go up a notch? Here are three reasons why a glasses-wearing Stanley Tucci is the best kind of Stanley Tucci:

Ricky Gervais Bids Steve Carell Adieu from The Office

While NBC hasn’t confirmed that Steve Carell plans to make the next season of The Office his last at Dunder-Mifflin, executive producer Ricky Gervais has wasted no time in offering up his farewell. Said Gervais: “It was expected of me, as executive producer, to persuade him to stay on. With syndication in full swing the more successful the show remains, the more billions we all make. It was tempting, but the truth is, I believe he is doing the right thing. He’s fulfilled his contract and more, and is a huge film star now I’d be lying if I said he should do more. He shouldn’t. He should move on, continue to do great work, and buy a new house every time The Office is repeated somewhere.” That sound you heard was Angela Bromstad throwing her morning latte at the wall.
