Guess Who’s Dating Emma Watson?

Emma Watson has confirmed she is dating George Craig.
The 20-year-old actress was spotted with the One Night Only singer at this weekend’s Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, South West England, and has admitted they have grown increasingly close since working together on an advertising campaign for fashion house Burberry.
When asked what their celebrity dating nickname would be, she replied, “We haven’t heard one yet. ‘Watage’? It wouldn’t really work.”
She added in an interview with BBC Radio 1 DJ Jo Whiley: “We’ve been friends since the Burberry shoot. And when I was in the US, George was taking me through a lot of his music as he was recording it. I couldn’t believe how good the music was. I’m a big fan. Everything he did was amazing.”
Emma has even agreed to star in the video for One Night Only’s next single ‘Say You Don’t Want It’, which she revealed takes inspiration from Disney’s classic animation ‘Lady and the Tramp’.
She explained: “I just really wanted to be involved somehow and we did the video together. It was very much our idea.
“It’s kind of an ode to ‘Lady and the Tramp’. George is Tramp and I’m Lady. George finds me because I’m lost and in a dodgy part of New York. He slowly wins me over and there’s a bit of a twist at the end.”

Kate Hudson is dating Matt Bellamy.
The ‘Fool’s Gold’ actress – who was most recently romantically linked with baseball star Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez – has reportedly enjoyed a string of dates with the Muse frontman but has been trying desperately to keep their romance under wraps.
A source close to the British rocker said: “Matt has been over to America to hang out with Kate.
“But they have done everything they can to avoid being seen together in the early stages of their relationship.”
The couple were spotted having dinner together in a New York eatery earlier this week, but plan to make their first official pubic appearance together at the Glastonbury festival – which Muse are headlining – in Somerset, South England, later this month.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: “Things are going so well Kate is planning to fly to the UK to hang out with Matt at the festival.
“She wants to watch the band from the side of the stage and meet his pals.”
Kate, 31, was previously married to the Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson, with who she has a six-year-old son Ryder.
Matt, 32, split from his fiancée, Italian psychologist Gaia Poloni late last year.

Bono Thinks He Is “overpaid” And Has More Money Than He Deserves
by Alice on Dec.02, 2009, under Artist, Band, Music, Singer

The U2 rocker – who is worth an estimated £400 million – says he devotes so much of his time to charitable projects because he believes he has more money than he deserves to have.
Speaking at the launch of Nike’s Lace Up. Save Lives campaign, which raises money for HIV charity (Red) with Chelsea soccer star Didier Drogba, he said: “These guys are very wealthy. I am very well paid, overpaid and even over-rewarded for what I do. But a lot of these soccer guys are giving something back and they don’t need to do that.”
Meanwhile, Bono admits he and his bandmates are “delighted and humbled” to have been asked to headline next year’s Glastonbury Festival, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary.
He said: “Everyone in the band is very excited about it. I think it will just be about the music on that day, and that spirit that seems to take over everybody in that sacred ground.
“We’ll certainly be well-rehearsed, we’ll be coming straight from the North American tour.”
U2’s appearance at Glastonbury marks their first festival show in 25 years and it will be the first time the group have performed at the world famous music event.

U2 Are To Headline The Glastonbury Festival 40th Anniversary Next Year
by Alice on Nov.23, 2009, under Artist, Band, Music, Singer

The music event’s organiser Michael Eavis has signed up the Irish rockers – Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. – to perform for the first time at the world famous festival which celebrates its 40th anniversary next year.
A source said: “Everyone is over the moon that the deal has been done. Michael really wanted a huge name for the 40th anniversary and the fact U2 have never played Glastonbury in their 32-year career only adds to the mystique.”
The ‘Get On Your Boots’ hitmakers – who will headline the festival on Friday June 25, in Somerset, England – have been in discussions with Michael, 74, for some time.
The source added to Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “Eavis has been asking them for a while now and really stepped up the effort this year. This could be an iconic moment.”
Glastonbury tickets sold out just hours after their release last month, even though no acts had been named.
At the time, Michael promised the festival would be full of the world’s best musicians.
He said: “There will be three or four superstars. The expectations are really high and we’re trying to get the best headliners in the world.”
‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You’ singer Andy Williams recently revealed he had also been booked to perform at the world-famous event.
Veteran rockers The Rolling Stones are favourites to headline the final night of the three-day event, while Radiohead and Beyonce Knowles have also been tipped to appear.
