Man who posted naked Emma Watson pics online faces jail

London, June 4 (ANI): The man, who had created digitally altered photographs of Emma Watson and posted them online, is facing jail.

John Cavanagh has pleaded guilty to 19 counts of making an indecent image of a child. He had mocked up eight pictures of the Harry Potter star and pasted it on another picture of an under-aged girl.

“If you look at it you will see that the head is marginally too big for the body (but clearly too big!) and the angle of the face is physically impossible with the body in that position,” The Daily Express quoted Watson’s representative as saying.

The images were discovered on Cavanagh”s computer when officials tried to arrest him – and he has since pleaded guilty.

Judge Anthony Hammond told the 39 year old, “Miss Watson will be very distressed to learn what you have been doing.”

The case has been adjourned for two weeks after Cavanagh dismissed his legal team. (ANI)

Rupert Grint on how he spends his weekends

London, May 14 (ANI): Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has revealed how he likes to spend his weekends mostly in Hertfordshire, where he lives.

Grint, 21, says that he usually gets up very late on Saturdays and that he heads downstairs to spend time with his family.

“I”m one of five siblings, so I might catch one of my brothers or sisters on the way down,” the Telegraph quoted him as saying.

“I always skip breakfast, but make up for it with a big lunch, usually at a nice pub, or I”ll grab something quick from one of the takeaways nearby.

“I like my Saturdays to be productive and would much rather be outside taking in the fresh air, as opposed to staying at home and watching television.

“As a child, my weekends were spent helping my dad run his business selling Formula 1 memorabilia. Now I”m a fully-grown adult with a full-time job, which, unfortunately, doesn”t involve mucking around all day.

“Saturday afternoons are usually reserved for playing golf with the buddies and we might catch up over a few drinks afterwards. It”s always a good feeling being surrounded by friends after a busy week of filming. They keep you grounded.

“I”ll head home at around 4pm, ready to have dinner with my family. None of us are really great cooks, which is why we frequently eat out at our favourite local, the Bull Inn.

“Sundays are my lazy days. Again, I”ll get up quite late, perhaps surf the Internet and watch some television. I”m addicted to antiques programmes at the moment. I watch the Antiques Roadshow religiously.

“If I”m feeling up for it, a spot of hovercrafting might be on the cards. There are plenty of lakes nearby but you can also take hovercrafts for a spin on land – they”re pretty cool things to drive.

“I”ll get home in time for dinner, usually at around 4pm or 5pm. If Mum is cooking, it might be a traditional Sunday roast, otherwise we”ll just order a takeaway or go out to eat.

“After dinner I”ll head to bed early, to be ready bright and early for the following day,” he added. (ANI)

She exclaimed: “I think university, the college experience, just sounds so great. I just don’t want to miss out on it. I think it’s a great time to make friends. I think it’s a great time to figure out who you are and what you like.” (ANI)
