In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Emma Watson discusses how some of the people in her life lead her to believe she shouldn’t continue acting after the Harry Potter franchise was over. “For a while I kind of…

• Kelly Clarkson’s Jane Austen Gold Ring Fiasco

  Once upon a time, Kelly Clarkson bought British writer Jane Austen’s gold ring at a Sotheby’s auction. For over £150,000 ($228,000 USD). That’s a large amount of British pounds there! However, the odds don’t seem to be in Kelly Clarkson’s favor with this ring. The UK’s Culture, Communications and Creative Industries Minister Ed Vaizey placed…

• RIP Cory Monteith: 1982-2013

  I still can’t get over the shock. This morning I was mindlessly scrolling through my Instagram feed when I stopped on a collage of photos from peoplemag. The photos were of Glee star Cory Monteith.

• Ruben Studdard Resurfaces for ‘The Biggest Loser’

  Just a few months ago, a few college friends and I were commenting on the fact that Ruben Studdard basically disappeared from the Hollywood scene after his one hit “Sorry for 2004.” That song is so old I don’t even remember the lyrics that well.
