Ewwwwww

There's nothing like a child-star-gone-legal to get Fleet Street's finest in a masturbatory frenzy. And it's Emma Watson who got them all foaming at the mouth as she attended the Harry Potter film premiere yesterday. You might be forgiven for thinking you've been transported back to about 1983 when you read some of this, but no, it's 2009...

Evening Standard:

Showing her thigh, knickers and the hint of a left breast in public that's not what we've come to expect from strait-laced know-it-all Hermione Granger.


Mirror:

The 19-year-old, who plays swotty schoolgirl magician Hermione Granger, unwittingly flashed her pants as she stopped to sign autographs for Harry Potter fans.
Oo-er!
Since filming ended, the leggy lovely has also changed her magic wand for a mascara wand...


The London Paper:

Later Emma appeared to forget about her number’s plunging neckline, almost revealing her ‘muggles’ as she turned up to the afterparty at Middle Temple in central London.


The top prize must go to the Mail. Of course it does! For this:

Emma Watson shows how much she's grown up at Harry Potter premiere


Ewwww. Just, ewwwww.

The actress is certainly growing up quickly and she seemed to enjoyed the chance to try a bold new fashion look in a free-flowing vintage 1970s Ozzi Clark dress.


I can't help being reminded of this. Yes, the woman's gone through puberty. Yes, she's gone beyond the age of consent. Yes, she's playing a schoolgirl in a film. I mean, do we have to go through this every time she turns up somewhere? It's just a bit grim.

Poor lass. Being leered at like this is bad enough, but having someone - even a stranger - refer to one's breasts as muggles is enough to traumatise a young woman for life.

From Brass Eye -

"GIRL (singing): One day I'll want to, but not today.
CHRIS MORRIS (singing): She can be kissed, but in an innocent way.
SWANCHITA HAZE (singing): And her cherry must ripen, naturally, in the sun.
CHILDRENS CHOIR (singing): One day, we're not ready yet, we're not ready yet, we're not ready today, one day.
AUSTIN TASSELTINE (singing) : There's a little minx, should I ply her with drinks? NO!
CHILDRENS CHOIR (singing) : One day, but not today and not even tomorrow.
OLDER GIRL (singing) : But maybe the day after that."

Hmm. Can't help suspect her agents might well have decided it was time for her to have a 'wardrobe malfunction' to help kick off her career as an all-growed-up leading lady.

At any rate, Wossy's efforts to awkwardly enquire into her sex life without sounding like the archetypal dirty uncle were probably a bit worse on the "ewwwww" meter. From the tabloids it's nothing new, but the for the beebs flagship talkshow to feature a middle-aged married-with-kids tubbster clumsily asking if she's seeing anyone, and if there were things she missed out on growing up... seedy in the extreme.

Maybe pretty female child stars should be obliged to issue a press release after they have sex for the first time.
It would save all of this "fnar fnar" speculation.
