Jamie Lynn Spears ‘looking at colleges’

Washington, May 15 (ANI): Pop singer Britney Spear’s kid sister Jamie Lynn is planning to join college to complete her studies, say sources.

The teen actress Lynn Spears completed her high school 2 years back through online correspondence and received her GED two years ago.

But she stayed out of the spotlight since, as she got pregnant at the age of 16 with her then boyfriend Casey Aldridge and gave birth to daughter Maddie in 2008.

“Jamie Lynn is looking at colleges,” a source told Fox411.com.

Mother Lynn Spears and Jill Zarin had dinner in New York City this week. And Fox411.com has discovered what they discussed during the rendezvous.

“Lynn and Jill have been friends for years, they have stayed in touch and they got together for a brief dinner at Kenmare [restaurant],” the source said. “There were definitely no cameras involved – you won”t see it on ”The Real Housewives of New York”.”

“Jamie Lynn wants to go to college and Lynn needed some guidance. Jill and Lynn are friends and they end up talking a lot about what their daughters are up to,” the source added.

“Jill”s daughter Ally is going away to school and Jill has been involved in the process every step of the way. Jill helped Ally write her application – she was hands on during the process,” the source further added.

Lynn, 19, will be the first one to experience college fun as neither sister Britney nor her brother Bryan has attended college. (ANI)

Emma Watson used gap year to design teen summer wear for People Tree

London, Sep 18 (ANI): Harry Potter star Emma Watson has revealed that she spent her gap year designing a ‘complete teenage summer wardrobe’ for the fair trade fashion brand People Tree.

Watson, 19, who has just enrolled at Brown University in the US, acted as a creative advisor for the ethical fashion collection, which will reach shops in February.

“I wanted to help People Tree produce a younger range because I was excited by the idea of using fashion as a tool to help alleviate poverty and knew it was something I could help make a difference with,” Sky News quoted her as saying.

“I think young people like me are becoming increasingly aware of the humanitarian and environmental issues surrounding fast fashion and want to make good choices but there aren’t many options out there.

“It has been the most incredible gap year project,” she added.

Among items that the teen actress has had a hand in designing were knitwear, cotton t-shirts, jersey dresses, and poplin shorts.

Her range also includes some more bizarre items, including “bohemian hand embroidered bed throws, recycled sweetie wrapper jewellery, banana fibre slouchy beanies and head scarves.”

Newton’s regrets over early romance with director John Duigan as a teen

London, Aug 18 (ANI): Thandie Newton reportedly regrets starting her career at a young age, and getting into a troubled relationship with director John Duigan as a teen.

The actress flew to Australia at the age of 16 for filming her debut movie ‘Flirting’ in 1991, and, shortly afterwards, began a turbulent six-year romance with the director of the film, then 39.

However, now after recently working with schoolgirls at Oprah Winfrey’s Leadership Academy in South Africa, Newton realised how young she was when she started her love affair with Duigan.

And the ‘Crash’ star still wonders how the filmmaker could have dated someone so “vulnerable”.

“I was 16. I didn’t tell my parents about it (the relationship) but really young people who are vulnerable have to be looked out for. I’ve just been out to South Africa to Oprah’s Leadership Academy. It educates girls from impoverished backgrounds and I was taking part in an arts week,” The Daily Express quoted her as saying.

She added: “I looked at the 16-year-old girls there. How can it possibly be right to start a serious relationship with someone that age when you are so much older? I’ve been through a lot of therapy so I sort of know why people do things now.” (ANI)
