‘Harry Potter’ Epilogue Was ‘Really Weird,’ Bonnie Wright Says

Posted on April 5, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘Being a mother with three children suddenly when you’re young is quite a big [change],’ she tells MTV News at DVD premiere. By Kara Warner, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Bonnie Wright attends the opening of Harry Potter: The Exhibiton in New York City Photo: Getty Images For the most devoted “Harry Potter” fans out there, the countdown has already begun in anticipation of the final film release, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.” Over the weekend, we got a sneak peek at Harry Potter: The Exhibition , as well as a few exclusive clips from the “Deathly Hallows, Part 1” DVD/Blu-ray. At the DVD premiere, we asked actress Bonnie Wright about the experience filming the franchise’s highly anticipated “epilogue” sequence , in which all the characters appear as themselves, only 19 years in the future. “It was really weird,” Wright said of seeing herself in makeup made to look like a woman in her 30s. “People said, ‘Don’t worry, you look good for 35!’ ” Wright said the experience was a lot of fun, mostly because she had to embody a completely new aspect of her character, Ginny Weasley-Potter. “Being a mother with three children suddenly when you’re young is quite a big [change],” she said. “It’s strange, because obviously [when] I started, my first scene ever filmed was on the train platform 9 3/4, and then we came back to shoot some more before Christmas, and it was back at platform 9 3/4, so I finished, and it was like this amazing cycle.” Regarding the scenes she’s most looking forward to seeing in the final film, Wright said she’s pumped to see the final battle. “I think I’m mainly looking forward to the epic battle that is to come,” she said. “See[ing] the power of good triumph over evil is going to be satisfying.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

‘Harry Potter’ Ending Is ‘Emotional,’ Jamie Campbell Bower Says

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Bower says being part of the franchise is ‘a real honor.’ By Jocelyn Vena Jamie Campbell Bower Photo: MTV News This June, “Harry Potter” fans will bid the series a final fond farewell as “Deathly Hallows, Part 2” hits theaters. With “Part 1” already out on DVD and Harry Potter: The Exhibition at the Discovery Times Square building in New York City, the series is not going out quietly. One of the series’ stars, Jamie Campbell Bower, admits he feels lucky to have been a piece of that very large puzzle. “I was only on set for a very short period of time, and I only play a very small role in the film,” he told MTV News when he stopped by to talk about his new Starz series “Camelot.” “I suppose, you know, just for me personally, being able to be involved in something that is taking place in England for 10 years and something that has given people jobs and a great boost to the British film industry, that was a real honor.” Bower has appeared in two of the iconic films (both parts of “Deathly Hallows”), and he said that seeing it all come to an end has even more meaning for the film’s principal stars, who have been there since day one. “For the other guys in it, again, it’s been a part of their lives for 10 years, and that’s a big deal. I suppose maybe they didn’t see it as a job, it just sort of became their daily life: Go to school, do your job and go home and have your fish and chips — ’cause we all eat fish and chips,” he joked. “I can imagine it’s exciting for them and emotional as well.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Harry Potter: The Exhibition — We Take You Inside!

Posted on April 4, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Discovery Times Square show opening Tuesday includes ‘authentic’ props, costumes and sets from all eight franchise movies. By Eric Ditzian Fans attend “Harry Potter: The Exhibition” Photo: Mike Coppola/ Getty Alas, all of you muggles out there will never have a chance to step inside Hogwarts, to suit up for a magical Quidditch match, or to sit down for a chat in Hagrid’s Hut. But can come pretty close, thanks to Harry Potter: The Exhibition. Housed at the Discovery Times Square building in New York City from April 5 through September 5, the exhibit showcases props, costumes and sets from all eight franchise movies, from 2001’s “Sorcerer’s Stone” up through the part two of “Deathly Hallows,” which hits theaters this summer. “When we first met with the filmmakers, we wanted to make sure everything was as authentic as possible,” Eddie Newquist, an exhibition creator, told MTV News. “We decided to create an experience where you felt like you were going into Hogwarts. We also wanted to create an experience where you could get very close to a lot of the special costumes and things that maybe go by very quickly in the films but really have a lot of significant meaning.” A few days before Monday’s (April 4) DVD premiere of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1,” MTV News got a peek at what the exhibit is all about. It begins as attendees enter Hogwarts and pass through the lobby of moving portraits. From there, it’s on to the Gryffindor common room, the dormitories, the classrooms and Hagrid’s Hut, before heading out to a Quidditch pitch for a chance to toss a quaffle. Things then take a darker turn, taking folks through the dragon-filled Forbidden Forest and into a confrontation with Voldemort and the Death Eaters. At every turn, visitors will see actual props, costumes and other elements from the films — from Harry’s glasses to Godric Gryffindor’s sword to a hands-on opportunity to pull a young Mandrake from its pot. “It’s a great way to celebrate the end of this amazing, epic series,” Newquist said. “But it’s also a way to pay a bit of homage to the artistry and craftsmanship that’s gone into creating it.” Will you check out the “Harry Potter” exhibit in New York City?

Wanna Party with Charlie Sheen?

Posted on March 31, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Calling all Warlocks: we know when and where you can party with Charlie Sheen. Following his live show in NYC on April 8, the actor will host a shindig in Carlstadt, New Jersey, a town with a population of around 6,000 that typically employs three police officers per shift. But, as TMZ reports , the police department will be extra careful with the gathering at Dragonfly nightclub. At least 10 officers will be brought in to handle crowd and traffic control. Combing this news with the latest security fears from Denise Richards, at least Sheen’s antics are resulting in extra work around the country. Still, there has to be a safer, less insane way to create jobs, doesn’t there? Meanwhile, if you wish to see Sheen on TV and not in person, circle April 12 on your calendar. On that date, the star will play a role on Drew Carey’s Improv-A-Ganza . It airs on the Game Show Network and the appearance dates back to January, when Charlie joined the show’s cast on stage for a performance at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. In his sketch, Sheen separates the men from “the trolls”

Happy Birthday Auntie Aretha!!

Posted on March 27, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It wasn’t quite the shinding we expected to hear about , but Aretha Franklin definitely rang in the last year of her 60′s in style in NYC this weekend. First, on Friday she threw the livest party ever thrown for a soon-to-be-septuagenarian at the Hemsley Park Lane. Aretha did it up with Star Jones, Permed Up Al, Smokey Robinson, Tony Bennett, Gayle King, Bette Midler and others. Then, yesterday she had a cozy dinner with her longtime homie Clive Davis at Le Bernardin. The 18-time Grammy winner had to cancel her tour when she was hospitalized in December and underwent surgery, but spies said she was in great form over dinner with Davis Thursday night. Our spy said: “They were toasting her health and her birthday. Word spread, and a crowd gathered outside. When the two emerged, there were flashbulbs and loud cheers.” Good for Auntie! She deserves it! (We do hope one of those gifts was a better bra… or some kind of surgical lift, because Auntie’s looking sloppy.) Check out photos from the party below.

La La Vasquez Anthony Says She’s Not A “Basketball Wife”

Posted on March 23, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

View original post here:

La La Vasquez met with The Breakfast Club to talk about her transition to New York City from Denver, her reality TV show and why she decided not to be on the “Basketball Wives” program. Angela Yee, DJ Envy and Charlemagne Tha God asked her about women throwing themselves at her husband Carmelo Anthony and about the rumors of him having a “love child” in NYC. “That story is laughable,” she said. “If I knew about a baby what kind of woman would I be to say ‘hide your kid’? And if it was true I don’t think I’d be sitting here smiling.” But one thing Lala doesn’t deny is keeping things interesting in her marriage. When Angela Yee asked if she ever sent Carmelo sexy cellphone pics she bluntly replied, “Any woman that wants to keep her marriage spicy should send naked pics to her husband or significant other…I just try to cut my head off in them more.” Go Lala!  But Melo, you better not lose that BlackBerry!
