Daniel Radcliffe: J.K. Rowling's Pottermore is a mystery to meHarry Potter fans aren't the only ones wondering what J.K. Rowling has planned for her new Pottermore Web site — even star Daniel Radcliffe has been left in the dark. “I know nothing about that whatsoever,” Radcliffe tells the L.A. Times of the site, which features two owls, Rowling's signature, and a "Coming Soon" teaser touting the author's June 23 announcement about her new venture. “I’m sure that Jo will be writing a lot more in the coming years. I’m sure she has a lot more in her than we’ve read and a lot more stories to tell. As long as they don’t involve Harry, I’m quite happy to buy them." Radcliffe, currently starring on Broadway in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," adds that he has no interest in reprising his role as the world's most famous boy wizard after "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" wraps up the film franchise in July. "I don't know, the idea of going back to something after 10 or 20 years? At that point, I will have worked 20 years to establish a career outside of it," he explains, "and at that point to go back to it would feel a little self-defeating.”

Is fame screwing with Emma Watson's dating life?Emma Watson’s international fame as a “Harry Potter” star didn’t get her bullied out of Brown University as rumors suggested, but it might be putting a crimp in her social life. The 21-year-old told the U.K.’s Sunday Times Style magazine that landing a date hasn’t been easy. “I say to my friends, 'Why hasn't X called me? Why doesn't anyone ever pursue me?' They're like, 'Probably because they're intimidated.' It must be the fame wall," she told the magazine, according to Us Weekly. "It must be the circus that goes around me. Me, as a person, I find it hard to believe I would be intimidating.”

'Breaking Dawn' trailer: What's the verdict?If you thought the hype surrounding the royal wedding was bad, prepare yourselves for Bella and Edward's nuptials in the upcoming “Breaking Dawn – Part I.” The trailer for the film made its debut at Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards, squeezing in plenty of plot points into nearly two minutes. Fans get to see the wedding invite; a shirtless (of course) Jacob running through rain; the wedding scene; headboard-breaking sex; and Kristen Stewart’s “uh-oh” face when she realizes she’s pregnant with a half-vamp baby.

What we'll miss if the world endsIf the doomsday folks are correct, there are at least two judgments we will miss – mainly who will be crowned the winners of "American Idol" and "Dancing With the Stars." The clock is ticking toward May 21, which listeners of Family Radio have marked as the Day of Rapture, when Christians will be caught up in the air to meet Jesus. The day will also, they say, be the start of a five-month Judgment Day and the end of the world as we know it. If true, that would suck for so many reasons including the mass destruction and chaos which is sure to follow. But let's consider a few reasons why it would be a tragedy in the realm of pop culture.
