Harry Potter Star Emma Watson BANNED From Driving For Six Months
English actress Emma Watson has been ordered to stay off the wheel. The actress has been temporarily banned from driving as a result of a 2024 speeding incident. The 'Harry Potter' alum was ordered not to drive for six months on Wednesday, nearly a year after a camera caught her going 38 mph in a 30 mph zone in Oxford, England, reports 'People' magazine. Watson is most widely known for her starring role as Hermione Granger in all eight Harry Potter films, beginning in 2001 and ending in 2011. As per 'People', the actress has taken a step back from the spotlight in recent years, even enrolling in a master's program in creative writing at Oxford University in September 2024. In a December 2023 interview with 'British Vogue', Watson said she was "so glad that I (took a break from acting) because I have this feeling of having my own voice and creative space and sovereignty in some way that I don't think I did before — more autonomy'. 'I'm so glad that I allowed things to be messy for a minute and to really allow myself to not know (what's next), because the knowing that I've come to, I wouldn't trade that for anything,', she added. Watson's most recent rare public appearances came on Feb. 14, when she attended the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game in Oakland, California, and later at the Cannes Film Festival in May. A source said that the Little Women actress was "very low-key" during the night out at the basketball game in February, and seemed "excited to be there'. Pursuits in recent years for Watson have included continuing her education at Oxford after earning a degree in English Literature from Brown University in 2014. She also made her directorial debut with the Prada Paradoxe campaign in 2022. --IANS aa/ The 'Harry Potter' alum was ordered not to drive for six months on Wednesday, nearly a year after a camera caught her going 38 mph in a 30 mph zone in Oxford, England, reports 'People' magazine.

Nicole Scherzinger Calls Late Actor Liam Payne A ‘Beautiful Soul'
Remembering their moments together, Nicole described Liam as 'a beautiful, kind soul and heart.' Nicole Scherzinger recently reflected on her time working with Liam Payne on Netflix's new show Building the Band. Remembering their moments together, Nicole described Liam as 'a beautiful, kind soul and heart." The former One Direction member tragically passed away last year at the age of 31 following an accident in Argentina. Nicole shared that the team is incredibly proud of everything Liam accomplished, and the show is now dedicated to his memory. She also added that working with him was a joy, and she's grateful that audiences will get to see him shine through the series. While appearing on The Seth Meyers Show, Nicole said, 'We've dedicated the show to Liam. We're so proud of him. He had such an amazing time. We had so much fun doing the show together, and he's such a beautiful, kind soul and heart. We would have never continued to, you know, share the show unless we had his family's blessings and they were actually there in the process with it while we filmed it. We're just really proud of him, and I'm excited for everyone to see Liam shine, and it's really cool." 'We've come full circle. I mean, especially with Liam and I from X Factor to One Direction and he's walked this path. So, he's the perfect person to be able to help people in this way, to be able to give back, and he loved it. He really believed in the bands in the show," Nicole Scherzinger added. Back in 2022, an old video from 2010 resurfaced online, revealing that Nicole Scherzinger played a key role in forming One Direction during The X Factor. For years, many believed Simon Cowell was solely responsible for creating the group, but the behind-the-scenes clip told a different story. Speaking about it later on the talk show, Sherri, as reported by People, Nicole admitted she was surprised the video even emerged. She joked that she thought it had been deleted or would never see the light of day. Nicole also pointed out that the footage clearly shows her helping to bring the boys together as a group. Nicole shared that she was glad the old video finally came to light, as it captured the moment she helped bring the members of One Direction together. Having recently stepped away from her own girl group, the Pussycat Dolls, she understood firsthand the power and potential of a successful music group. That experience gave her the insight to recognise the value of uniting individual talents. She added that it felt meaningful and rewarding to be part of One Direction's journey from the very beginning. Building The Band is hosted by The Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean, while the judging panel includes Nicole Scherzinger, Kelly Rowland and late Liam Payne. The show is now available to watch on Netflix. First Published: July 16, 2025, 12:47 IST News movies » hollywood » Nicole Scherzinger Calls Late Actor Liam Payne A 'Beautiful Soul'

He continued, "People in general are pretty cool to make fun of themselves and Hollywood and seem to get the joke, which was nice," reported People.
