I'm curious how long they have been together. Before he deleted his instagram it showed he was in Hawaii with friends and before that on tour in Japan I think. This seems to have happened quickly.
This isn't the news I'm hoping for from her but at least it's news. Everything is better than the almost complete radio silence she went into for the second half of 2017 after she was done promoting Beauty and The Circle.
You know, I'm sure he's a fine fellow, and a talented actor/singer/dancer, but, honestly, who the hell is named "Chord Overstreet"??? It sounds like one of the satirical "movie star" characters from "The Beverly Hillbillies" -- like "Dash Riprock" or "Bolt Upright."
"This is the most confusing thing ever I feel like it's photoshopped (I know its not)"
Confusing is a good word. I feel like I'm in an alternate universe lol! She sure did a quick 180 on her privacy rules, and People.com is saying they have similar personalities and I'm like what are you even talking about?! But I was just reading ONTD and some of the reactions there have been pretty funny I have to admit. A lot of people are confused.
I'm her fan and I've a question to her fans, not to haters (!). She told so many times that privacy is for her extremely important and she doesn't want her relationships are used in any promo actions. But the last photos are totally staged! They have been taken by paps, but they're sharp, not blurred. The photographs knew they are there at that time. Why she posed so willingly to them making her new relationship completely public??? Can someone explain it to me? It's a contradiction with her previous statements about privacy...
I think is because he is famous she doesn’t care if the paps take their picture. He is the guy with the most relevant profile she has ever dated. I think she hooked up with an actor from the perks movie and also dated a guy from a moderate famous band from the uk during Harry Potter. This is the first “famous” (he is not that famous) person she has ever dated, so I think that’s why she doesn’t care. They are both in the same industry. I wouldn’t be surprise if she starts talking about him in interviews. You can see in the other pictures that the paparazzis has taken of her with her non famous boyfriends that she looks uncomfortable and I’m a hurry to get out of there. I’m happy that she looks so natural and relaxed. Maybe dating a guy in the same industry would make things easier for her, and I also hope he convinces her to star working again lol I really love seeing her on the big screen :( (and in good movies) ��
Maybe she's in a paparazzi hotspot without realizing it. I'm not sure if she knows LA well enough to navigate it as well as she navigates London. Not all clear pics mean pap walk. And she still doesn't talk about her relationships, so I wouldn't say that she's contradicting herself.
Saying that, she's staged paparazzi pictures before when on vacation with Matt(?), the rugby player, to distance herself from Will's possible drug controversy as it was putting her names in the headlines.
Is it me?? Or this is the first time ever we see an Emma and boyfriend "photoshoot" where her curren couple looks more akward than her?? She has always been the one with the angry face... I mean, I don't think it's staged but it seems like she tried too hard to look happy and smiling and he's just... ok... lol Great for her though if she's having a good time. Let's see what future brings up!!
As I rmb there were paparazzi pics of her and Will kissing and holding hands too, one or two times only though. So I think this kind of actions do not contradict herself of emphasising the importance of privacy as this is very normal for a couple holding hands while hanging out. She has mentioned in interview that she doesn’t like to talk about his boyfriend to protect both of their privacy. But it’s only paparazzi pics here so I don’t see any contradiction. Holding hands or not is a not matter as going out tgt frequently would be seen as dating for her, just like her previous relationship, and her can’t avoid going out right?
The reason the quality is so good is because these are pap pics from LA. Even their sneaky pics look great, look around at other celeb pics from LA. I'm just happy she's happy.
I think she's in LA for work, because i dont think she would want to live in LA. Also, usually actors that dont go to the oscars and only go to the vanity fair oscars pary are negotiating film deals, or are meeting people to arrange auditions, to get aware of film deals, etc. It happens all the time.
Many thanks for all your nice replies to my question. I'm really glad there are people on this forum who can lead the discussion in a polite way without using abusive cant. Though there are a lot of haters on this board too.
Glad she's happy. I just hope she doesn't decide to get pregnant anytime soon. She would do anything to protect her child from public attention and we would probably never see her again.
If the guy wasnt famous and there were no pictures I would say Emma made up a boyfriend because there is no way I believe Chord Overstreet is an actual name. For an actual person. In this actual world.
"Chord is already milking it. Posting a big question mark on his instagram."
See, for me the timing is just really convenient. Way more people know who Chord is today than did two days ago. When the media asked if they're dating why not just say yes and leave it at that. They'd be papped eventually like most celeb couples are when going about their day. It's just odd to go from denials of a relationship to walking down the street all couple-y in 24 hrs. You can't blame people for calling it a PR move. (and this IS different from Emma's recent tendency to disappear)
But don't mind me, I've become really skeptical when it comes to celebs and their relationship with the media. They use each other.
"For the love of God can we clear up that if someone says something negative they are not a hater.
Exactly. I don't hate Emma. I want her to be successful, even if she just wants to be an activist, although I don't think so since she's still hanging around Hollywood. But if I feel frustrated by her I say so. I do the same with any actor I like. It doesn't mean I hate her.
"It's not staged you dolts. She can't go out for a walk without paparazzi."
Sure she can. People on twitter have spotted her many times and you don't see any photos of it end up online. Paps aren't always there and a lot of times if they are it's because the actor's publicists have set it up.
Emma gets photographed VERY rarely. Nothing compared to other celebs. Go through candid pictures of her and look at the date. If she cant walk without paparazzi she would only leave the house ten times per year at maximum and we know thats not true. Even in LA she manages to not be photographed which is rare. Only when she was with Chord she was photographed. She's been there for months and we only have three pap shots. All with Chord.
"Is there any evidence the beach pictures were staged or was that just speculation at the time?"No evidence for or against that. It was perfect timing because Will had those pictures with the white powder. It is not likely they would be caught on a distant island without someone tipping them of. But that someone could have also been someone at the hotel to earn a little on the side.
The pictures here with Chord are staged. 100%. That does not mean the relationship isnt real tho. Only that the pictures are staged and paparazzi were called. It could be for press or as a "coming out" to be left alone in the future.
Better to be paped once willingly than to be hounded by them while they try to confirm the speculation about her and Chord that was already happening in the media.
I suppose the media isn't that bothered who she is dating as it once was. If this was 5 years ago she wouldn't have got away with denying it for so long.
I'd agree with "anon 06:33pm". It seems to be staged, the most likely reason has got to be Emma wants to give paps "some stuff" in order to be left alone. At the moment I doubt this was a good action, but, anyway, time will show. That's a point you would have got to ask other celebs (whether that's good or not). Any celeb here?
It's always speculation. You're not really going to get confirmation on something like that. But the timing... Within a week of those Will photos a statement saying they'd broken up months before was released and we got the beach pics. How often do we get pictures of her at the beach, but somehow a set of her frolicking and looking cozy with a new boyfriend were released at such a perfect moment. She gets around and vacations without being photographed all the time and in reality, aside from tweeting about it maybe, most people don't care enough to take/post photos or tip someone off. Plus her reputation and image are pretty important part of her career it makes sense that she'd gave nipped any association in the bud as quickly as possible.
Emma used to look so pretty before, what has happened to her looks now, she is looking more and more plain everyday. I think she is not aging too well. Most people don’t find her that pretty anymore. The only thing she can do to rescue her fading looks is to style herself well, which she fails most time. Very rarely do I come across her recent pictures and think, wow so pretty, which I used to think a couple of years back. Everything is going down for Emma.
The fringe, activism, the tattoo and staged photos are nothing but attempts to stay in news. People are giving her nothing but hate, most often you come across negative comments for her then positive. Rupert and Dan have let go of limelight without trying to do silly things to stay in news. People still love them even though they are not as popular as Emma. It is time emma let’s go of it too and maintain her dignity, she will get more love and respect.
If Hollywood doesn’t want her, she should let go and do something thing else. Right now it seems like she is clinging to fading fame and limelight and in the process making a fool of herself.
"It could be for press or as a "coming out" to be left alone in the future."
You could be right, but I don't think they will be left alone now that she confirmed the relationship. That's not usually what happens. Quite the opposite, actually.

Nail on the head. She is done. It's Dan and Rupert she needs to learn from.
A few things: I'm not going to delete each comment I don't agree with. I can't always tell when the person's giving an honest opinion or is only trolling. If you think someone's trolling, ignore them. It's not complicated. You're only giving them the importance they're craving so much by answering them. Please do not mention those tumblr hate blogs, your comment wlil be deleted. They don't need publicity. The only persons I can block are those with a Blogger account who follow my blog. Which is none of the people who comment. Lastly, if you think I'm enjoying this, you're wrong. Having to deal with this crap every. single. morning. is not my idea of the start of a good day.
Some of these comments are gold, it must drive some of the Dan and Rupert stans absolutely bonkers knowing that Emma can do so little but still get far more attention than those guys. Lol
"I doubt Dan and Rupert stans are mad as neither court the spotlight. Dan purposely doesn't even have social media presence."
They dont court the spotlight because neither are that great of actors to begin with. For all the venom spewed at Watson for her apparent "lack of" acting talent neither Dan or Rupert are anything to write home about either in terms of awards. If they were really all that great the spotlight would chase them regardless.
LOL WHAT? Daniel is very active on google plus. And that doesn't have anything to do with having social media presence or being female at all. It is simply the fact that Emma is the only one coming out of Potter still having an high level of fame and popularity.She is the closest one to really be an "Hollywood Stars". Dan and Rupert don't even have a better career in terms of awards, since according to imdb Emma surpasses both
I don’t think that most of her comments are negative because She have a big fanbase but I agree with you. The mistake (time’s up tattoo) and activism are staged.
"They dont court the spotlight because neither are that great of actors to begin with.

So bitter. Dan and Rupert aren't the best actors sure but compared to Emma they are like De Niro and Pacino. Plus they take risks with various roles and they don't take themselves seriously.
You have the guts to accuse US of being bitter after having written the things you and your troll friends wrote about Emma. Anyway, where is this proof they are like "De Niro and Pacino" ? Because as another anon said Emma has more awards. Some voted by the audience, but also critica awards nomination that those two faded into obscurity have not
"Anyway, where is this proof they are like "De Niro and Pacino?"
I never said that. I was simply implying their acting skills though not great are streets ahead of Emma's. But out of the trio it's Dan who has the most talent no doubt about that.
"So bitter." Sorry but I literally laughed my ass off. Then I got angry because I realized you weren't sarcastic and that you actually,for real, really don't understand the hypocrisy of accusing us of being bitter when haters came in full force to criticize Emma in a fucking thread about some paps pics of her holding hands with a boy. It must be a fucking joke, really. Hope Eden don't delete this just because I swore
"They never court the spotlight. Just to confirm."
They cant court the spotlight because they are not great actors. If they were the spotlight would court them. You can try and spin it anyway you want but you would still be wrong.
Actually there are awards, objective facts that confirms Emma is more talented than them. She has more awards. And while Dan and Ruper have only fan voted ones Emma has also critics awards. So yeah,everyone states their opinion , mine and that anon's is only a little bit closer to the truth than yours
Sometimes I am curious: i ask myself how many different people write these posts attacking Emma on this blog. I believe there are only like 2-3 at max coming from those hate blogs coming bere and writing many comments
It's amazing how these comment threads start out mostly fine and on topic but at some point, almost without fail, drift of into same few generic criticisms of Emma and commenters attacking each other.
"It's amazing how these comment threads start out mostly fine and on topic but at some point, almost without fail, drift of into same few generic criticisms of Emma and commenters attacking each other."
Because some people just like to hate on EW for one reason or another. But to be fair this happens with all celebrities and individuals in the spotlight with their respective sites. I never really understood the desire to go to a fansite and troll it for the sake of trolling since i have better things but there are people out there who behave in that manner just because.
Guess some people have way too much time on their hands. Lol
Hoping that any of these threads could remain civil with constructive debate is a useless endeavor. But as Eden pointed out you just have to skip over the comments of those who are either trolling or simply looking to argue for the sake of arguing. Ive found there are plenty of people on here who are more than fine to converse with.
You know, it's funny, but seeing Emma photographed out in public with a show-biz boyfriend... Doesn't this remind you just a little bit of her "locationship" with Johnny Simmons while making "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" in Pittsburgh in 2011?
I wonder if they're actually working together on some under-the-radar project...?
Maybe, but Perks was a low budget film that still garnered some attention before it was completed. If they are working on a film it must be WAY below the radar because there hasnt been any word on any project that she is involved with and that doesnt generally happen with her.
LOL are you seriously attacking Dan and Rupert because they don't have an agressive PR team and a publicist like Luke Winsor? They are actors,they don't care about giving the Daily Mail photos and stories also Vanessa Hugdens (D-list at best) gets a lot of press and limelight and you know why? Because she has Twitter,Instagram and a ruthless PR team...sounds familiar lol

Yep 100%. Publicity is all that Emma has left it seems.
Whether they are good/bad actors is subjective to the individual. Its no different than those who have said the same about Emma. Its just a matter of opinion.
"Whether they are good/bad actors is subjective to the individual. Its no different than those who have said the same about Emma. Its just a matter of opinion."
Most would agree that Emma has underwhelmed lately.
"Most would agree that Emma has underwhelmed lately."
Based on what? comments here? Doubtful. The people who comment here are but a very small percentage of her fanbase and i would say even on here the positive feedback outweighs the negative.
"Maybe, but Perks was a low budget film that still garnered some attention before it was completed."
So, speaking of acting and low budget films, I have been wondering for a while why Emma doesn't just do some indie films. Even the most established actors do them. Yes I know some say she can't act but I don't agree. She's no Meryl Streep but I can't believe she gets no offers. If you're an actor you should be acting. Like Lily Collins, who is nowhere near as famous as Emma but she's constantly working. Every film doesn't have to be a blockbuster or have a feminist message. It could just be a good story or an interesting character to play.
Of course it's possible she doesn't really enjoy acting anymore. Maybe writing, directing or producing would be a better fit? I just want something else to talk about besides Chord and Emma's (real or fake) relationship and pics for the next year lol.
"Based on what? comments here? Doubtful. The people who comment here are but a very small percentage of her fanbase and i would say even on here the positive feedback outweighs the negative."
Just look at the comments online outside her fan sites and her box office for her smaller films. She doesn't have a big enough fanbase to keep her B list anymore.
You honestly think she is as popular and as sort after as 2011/2012?

Well, if i had to guess i would just have to go back to Emma's original approach to films in general. She stated a long time ago that she only took scripts or interest in films that mattered to her personally. We have to remember that Potter made her financially secure at a young age so she has a luxury that some actors/actresses dont have. She can afford to be picky or choosy depending on her interest level.
For all we know she could very well be receiving scripts for movies but just not interested in them.
"Of course it's possible she doesn't really enjoy acting anymore. Maybe writing, directing or producing would be a better fit? "
Certainly a big possibility. Emma to me has always seemed to want to try her hand at many things. While i think she enjoys acting im not convinced its something she loves above all else. She tends to like learning and experiencing other things so maybe you are right. Maybe she will dive behind the camera instead of in front of it. There are many avenues she can take but i dont get the sense that acting is the be all end all for her when it comes to personal satisfaction.
"You honestly think she is as popular and as sort after as 2011/2012?"
Are Dan and Rupert as popular as they were after Potter? And i think what you mean is "sought" after correct? As i stated in my previous post we dont really know how many scripts pass by her desk as she has never been one to just do any movie for the sake of doing them. Dan and Rupert seem like they want to make a living specifically doing movies, i never got that impression from Emma judging by her selectiveness of movie roles.
It would difficult for anyone here to really gauge how much interest is in her without having any inside information to her career. I remember a while back a director wanted Emma to do a low budget horror flick that she passed on. Ironically, that movie ended up having Ashley Greene in it who had more fame from the Twilight movies. But the movie itself was not very good so i just never got the feeling that Emma wants to do just any movie.
Lets face it, she doesnt have to do just anything. She is in no danger of being poor at this point. She could literally just retire on what she has already earned.
Many comments are not related to this post. Stop comparing Emma, Rupert and Daniel. They are both great. Emma and Chord real or not ? That’s the point. Thanks
Im wondering she date someone famous and someone with no education to speak of. He is not very bright. Is this more of a short term fling because she finds him physically attractive enough to tolerate him?
Agree with Anon above, Emma is not as popular as some of the other actresses. On you tube videos views on most emma videos are really less, especially compared to Emma stone, Jennifer Lawrence.
Also agree that outside of her fan sites people, opinions on Emma is not very great.
I am an Emma fan, but sadly I have to say that the above is true.
Part of the reason Emma remained more popular then Dan and Rupert is also because of her looks.
You are wasting your time bro. Even if she had 10 films the last year and 9 of them earned 2 billion and 20 Oscars and she had one single flop they would bring it up to discredit her. That's obviously an hyperbole, but that's how delusional haters' minds work: they bring up Evert little negative thing in order to put down her achievements. That's called confirmation bias. Since they dislike/hate her they tend to focus only on the bad thing while ignoring the rest . Objectively speaking she is far from being "done" as someone here said.
1) Name the ones that closed 2) yeah she was the female lead, she was also the female lead of a 1.3 b movie, surpassed only by Daisy Ridley and Kate Winslet in the history of films from that point of view 3) I brought them up because some emma's hater mentioned them, now I could rewrite the same sentence with literally every actor/actress instead of those two and it would still be true
"We have to remember that Potter made her financially secure at a young age so she has a luxury that some actors/actresses dont have. She can afford to be picky or choosy depending on her interest level."
That's true, her financial position gives her more freedom of choice, but that's why I mentioned Lily Collins. She's also in a fortunate position because of her father but she still works a lot and its clear she wants to. Emma can afford to be choosy but she's kind of taking that to the extreme, no? Lol! I mean, is there no script she finds even a little bit interesting? But yeah, acting doesn't seem to be her priority these days. I could see her writing a book or even making documentaries as part of her activism though.
I just hope she does something new this year and doesn't spend the majority of her time getting media attention for dating a former Glee actor.
"2) yeah she was the female lead, she was also the female lead of a 1.3 b movie, surpassed only by Daisy Ridley and Kate Winslet in the history of films from that point of view."
None of those actresses made the film a success. SW was a success because the original trio came back. Titanic was the success in part due to the Leo fans. Beauty was a success because of the 1991 film. It was guaranteed over a billion with or without Emma.
Emma was lucky to get cast in Harry Potter. If that didn't happen she would have been a model or something. An actress? Not a chance.
1. If you're going to comment on how Emma isn't aging well, well that's some sexist, patriarchal bullshit, because essentially your complaint is that she IS aging, which is completely natural. You clearly don't see any beauty in age.
2. People who are saying Emma isn't doing anything are clearly not paying attention. At the golden globes she spoke about how she has been working very closely with IMKAAN, the black UK feminist organization and that's why she chose its founder to accompany her, who you can she from the videos, she greatly admires. Emma has mentioned many times in the past that she doesn't just lend her face to something she doesn't really care about. She just started the UK Justice and Equity Fund and I'm sure is working on activism every single day.
3. She probably chose to get a "Times Up" tattoo because it's something she cares about and wants to publicize to garner more support for. Emma isn't vain enough to do it for attention.
4. If she's working on a movie it's probably low key as she doesn't talk about things until they really get going. She clearly likes to keep things private until she legally has to share as part of her job.
5. If you have hate for her, why the heck are you on here? I've seen things go downhill on here in the last few years and I don't like it.
"I am still waiting to hear what fans site closed"
To quote Eden (from the recent Kid's Choice thread);
"At least emmawatsonitalia and emmawatsondaily have closed."
And just generally, because someone holds a different opinion to you it does not make them a stan or a hater. I'm guessing that Eden started this blog as a fun exercise. I'm also guessing it's now a lot less fun. She has made it clear she is willing to allow people to express differing views.
People can disagree with the views of others, but the personal attacks are tiresome.
I hope this blog stays around, but if there is continued unpleasantness, I wouldn't blame Eden i she pulled the plug.
it's sad and pathetic that some people hate (ahem I am sorry, I mean strongly dislike her) to the point that they feel happy if she falls in popularity and go to great lenghts to prove it. Regarding those two fan sites, that is the first time I have heard of them, neither were very popular and had just a few thousands of followers on social media. Emma Watson Italia is not even near to be the most visited Emma Watson fansite in Italy. It's also statistically speaking not really surprising that some sites became less active. Emma has generated hundreds of fanpages over the many years she has been famous and it is bound to happen than some of those, especially the oldest one , are going to be closed. Emma Watson Italia I just saw has been online since 2004, sure it's normal it's owner is going to be less interested to dedicate time to a site for a celebrity, especially now that she/he is probably in her thirties with a family/career whatever.
On a side note, just to further discredit the haters (shit sorry dislikers...) that seem to love the idea that Emma is fading into obscurity, I took a look at Google Trends, which lets you see how popular a person /key word is giving you how frequently it is searched on google. Aside from the obvious peek in 2010/2011, when Emma cut her hair and Harry Potter was ending, Emma has been basically on the same level of popularity, google trends doesn't indicate at all a decrease in popularity, especially since HP ended. Now take a look at someone like Kristen Stewart and you will see the graph is basically like a mountain: rapidly increase in 2008 and decrease in 2012 (wonder why...). I can link that if you want, but you can see yourself by googling "google trends" and clicking of the first result.
But yeah you are right, Emma is losing popularity because two fanpages with about 3-4 k followers have closed.
PS: are you even sure they are closed? not everyone spends the same time on celebrities like you hate....ahem ...dislikers. Maybe they'll come back when Emma will have some new projects.
I don't think Emma's fame is fading but I get the impatience. In about six months it will be three fucking years since she's last done a new movie. That's a whole bunch of time of her not doing what is ostensibly her job. And I can't really believe it's because of a lack of offers. Makes me wonder why she even bothered to change represantation in late 2016.
Some journalists wrote that Emma changed her agent because she lost her role in "La la land". Emma denied it saying she was involved in BATB at that time and it was a long-term project that indisposed her to participate in other initiatives. However some newspapers outlined that she changed her agency short after the "La la land" has completed the cast. No idea...
Emma wants more high profile roles but if they havent been offered by now nothing will change that. Hollywood doesnt wait for people. Maybe on the level of Streep or Jolie but people below that no. Emmas career is over on the a-list and she only has herself to blame. After Beauty a HUGE movie she had all the chances in the world and didnt use them. If she at least would tell her fans "stop waiting, Im only interested in yoga and hot guys" it would be good for us to be able to move on and not wait.
Specifically, she described herself as "Actress (then Actor to be more in line with her Collectivist clique) and UN Goodwill Ambassador for Women". Now neither qualifier is on her Twitter.
Losing out on la la land was the worst for Emma. I wish she had done that over batb, another children’s movie.
Emma stone became a big name after la la, she should thank watson for that, she literally handed stone the best opportunity of her life and a ticket to all the awards. Personally I don’t think stone was anything spectacularl in la la to get so many awards.
Did UN replace her?
I feel emma is not taking up films because as rightly said above she wants only high profile roles, which is not happening.
"If she at least would tell her fans "stop waiting, Im only interested in yoga and hot guys" it would be good for us to be able to move on and not wait."
Some communication would be great. At least in 2016 she said she was taking the year off to focus on activism. And she did do a bunch of public stuff with that during that year. But by now, she rarely even shows her face anymore and is just trucking along. Which is totally fine, if that's what she wants to with her career, but like you said, she could tell the fans if that's the case.
At this point I sort of want to stop hoping for news on something substantial and public, be it activism or acting, but I just can't. I'm constantly checking twitter, imdb and so on for some tiny morsels of information. Sooner or later I'll have to go cold turkey for a at least a little while, I think. (You don't need to tell me I'm sad and pathetic, I already know that, thank you.)
A UN Women tweet from March 6th called her "Out Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson", so she seems to be still associated with them, at least theoretically.
If she has taken actor out of her twitter, that’s a clear indication that she doesn’t want to work in films anymore. Then why does she hang out with Hollywood?
That is, at the same, uplifting, because something might happen, and disappointing, because probably nothing will. But at least this means she's trying, that's something I guess.
"Emma was seen at a casting by a couple of people not long ago. " please give US some information. I would made a post on this blog if I was you . nowadays every little rumors is news worthy
Last time I posted a tweet from someone who had seen Emma, she ended up complaining about beng harassed with questions from fans so I rather not repeat the experience.
After 2 (TWO i said ) full minutes of intende google reasearch I officially give up. I'll just ask this and then stop bothering you about this argument: do you think they were lying/trolls or do you thing they are realiable?
At first I only saw the tweet and didn't really believe it but a week later I saw another sighting from the same time on facebook and the two sightings come from dfferent people so I doubt they were both lying.
Also, you won't find anything using google. The facebook sighting might not be the easiest to find but the tweet is probably very simple.
"On her Twitter, she used to describe herself as an "Actor and activist". Now neither. Make of that what you will." She still is an activist obviously. So do not read too much into it. Turning down La La Land wasnt a mistake. It wouldnt have been that succesful with her and another actor. Doing Beauty was the right choice it was a guarantee but she made nothing of it. It soon will be 3 years with no visit to a movie set and she will be 28 in a month. Thats no commitment. Her being in LA COULD be related to movies, like her going to those parties. But I am afraid its more about Riff Underroad and her playing the housewife like she did for Mack in San Francisco.
Its possibly she could be stepping away from acting. Her FB only says artist on it (although i dont know if it has always said just that) but she is approaching 30 so maybe she wants to concentrate on her personal life more at this point who knows. Maybe she has some other things planned for a different career path at this point. Good luck to her though whatever she chooses to do.
"A UN Women tweet from March 6th called her "Our Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson", so she seems to be still associated with them, at least theoretically."
These pics (of she and Chord)are titled as 8 March, which was International Women's Day (IWD). On her twitter feed she promoted an UN IWD event (in NY)for the same day, featuring the UN Secretary-General, UN Women Executive Director, Reese Witherspoon and others.
I thought it odd she did this staged stroll on IWD.
The 62nd session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women is running in NY, from 12-23 March. It will be interesting to see if Emma is in attendance for at least part of the event.
The main theme of the session is; Challenges and opportunities in achieving gender equality and the empowerment of rural women and girls
But it is also focussing on; Participation in and access of women to the media, and information and communications technologies and their impact on and use as an instrument for the advancement and empowerment of women.
Presumably that is something that would interest Emma.
I feel like there is gonna be something coming up relatively soon. She was out of the public eye for a few months, and now she's showing up a fair bit more, plus she mentioned she was working on something in the Time(')s Up video. Seems promising, at least.
I think the photos are probably genuine and as Chord is in the same business I am guessing she doesn't have to be protective towards him.
I also think Emma is going to be more activist than actress which is fine and is her decision but oh I do miss seeing her in brighter colours or even some of the lovely pastel colours she used to wear. I like black - but in moderation.
These arguments that Emma had nothing to with Beauty's success always seem to miss the point to me. Yeah, the movie would have been huge with another actress. Would it have been bigger, smaller or about the same with someone else? Who's to say and it doesn't really matter. The only important part is that Emma was the star of the movie so she's connected to its success. She could have capitalized on that but, at least as far as we can tell, she didn't. But that's a different story.
"She could have capitalized on that but, at least as far as we can tell, she didn't. But that's a different story." Thats THE story. Why didnt she do it? Not many actors are ever afforded such a huge hit and she let it pass. I would respect it more if she tried something risky and totally failed. Realistically Hollywood wont give her better roles as the years pass. She will still get offers but they will be less good. Her agents must have told her that.
I also do not get her activism. While I think its good she is committed to that more so than other famous people her whole bonus is her fame. Emma working at a charity helps as much as one of us. Its not bad dont get me wrong its just not something thats special about her. Emmas special is her world wide fame and she doesnt use it if she works so much out of the spotlight. She should be doing talks and documentaries. Not disappear and be like a regular woman.
Yeah, I think so, too. I'm sure the background stuff is important but there are other people who could do that. Emma would be much more effective by doing stuff in public, like she has done several times in the past. But it's also to her credit that she doesn't shy away from the less glamorous parts of activism and isn't just doing it for the publicity.
You are right about the less glamorous parts that other famous activists feel above. But she could do both. If she just works behind the scenes only her money will be a help but she is doing nothing with her huge fame and online following. Thats a missed opportunity. But those are common for Emma. Beauty and the Beast for example...

Never minded her dating unknowns, but this bums me out for some reason. At least she looks happy.
She looks so happy.
They look so cute together and happy too.
That has to be true love is he loves her with that haircut jk im happy to see her happy <3
She wouldn't be doing this if her career was currently taking a nose dive.
Totally staged.
Maybe he'll tra to get her out of her non-movie-making funk. He needs to ride those coattails.
Yes I agree with you, she is not taking a nose drive
It does look a bit staged and fake, and Emma looks like she is acting.
"It does look a bit staged and fake, and Emma looks like she is acting."
Better let than never eh? But in all seriousness who else announces relationships like this? Only the gutter reality stars that's who. Sad times.
This is the most confusing thing ever
I feel like it's photoshopped (I know its not)
I'm curious how long they have been together. Before he deleted his instagram it showed he was in Hawaii with friends and before that on tour in Japan I think. This seems to have happened quickly.
Lookz pregnant in picture 10?
This isn't the news I'm hoping for from her but at least it's news. Everything is better than the almost complete radio silence she went into for the second half of 2017 after she was done promoting Beauty and The Circle.
"I'm curious how long they have been together." At least a month.
"Before he deleted his instagram" Is that related to Emma?
I love seeing her happy.
You know, I'm sure he's a fine fellow, and a talented actor/singer/dancer, but, honestly, who the hell is named "Chord Overstreet"??? It sounds like one of the satirical "movie star" characters from "The Beverly Hillbillies" -- like "Dash Riprock" or "Bolt Upright."
"Before he deleted his instagram" Is that related to Emma?
It could be. Trying to change his image maybe?
Chord is already milking it. Posting a big question mark on his instagram.
Life is sometimes strange I loved her since I was 10 I am 23 now anyways I want her to be happy :'(
Awww they look so cute and happy normally I don't comment on he love life but they look so sweet bless :) xx
When they split up will he be the lost chord?
"This is the most confusing thing ever I feel like it's photoshopped (I know its not)"
Confusing is a good word. I feel like I'm in an alternate universe lol! She sure did a quick 180 on her privacy rules, and People.com is saying they have similar personalities and I'm like what are you even talking about?! But I was just reading ONTD and some of the reactions there have been pretty funny I have to admit. A lot of people are confused.
I'm her fan and I've a question to her fans, not to haters (!).
She told so many times that privacy is for her extremely important and she doesn't want her relationships are used in any promo actions.
But the last photos are totally staged!
They have been taken by paps, but they're sharp, not blurred.
The photographs knew they are there at that time.
Why she posed so willingly to them making her new relationship completely public??? Can someone explain it to me?
It's a contradiction with her previous statements about privacy...
I think is because he is famous she doesn’t care if the paps take their picture. He is the guy with the most relevant profile she has ever dated. I think she hooked up with an actor from the perks movie and also dated a guy from a moderate famous band from the uk during Harry Potter. This is the first “famous” (he is not that famous) person she has ever dated, so I think that’s why she doesn’t care. They are both in the same industry. I wouldn’t be surprise if she starts talking about him in interviews. You can see in the other pictures that the paparazzis has taken of her with her non famous boyfriends that she looks uncomfortable and I’m a hurry to get out of there. I’m happy that she looks so natural and relaxed. Maybe dating a guy in the same industry would make things easier for her, and I also hope he convinces her to star working again lol I really love seeing her on the big screen :( (and in good movies) ��
When you are doing a pap walk I'd think you would want to look relaxed and super into each other. Might as well get your money's worth.
Maybe she's in a paparazzi hotspot without realizing it. I'm not sure if she knows LA well enough to navigate it as well as she navigates London. Not all clear pics mean pap walk. And she still doesn't talk about her relationships, so I wouldn't say that she's contradicting herself.
Saying that, she's staged paparazzi pictures before when on vacation with Matt(?), the rugby player, to distance herself from Will's possible drug controversy as it was putting her names in the headlines.
Is it me?? Or this is the first time ever we see an Emma and boyfriend "photoshoot" where her curren couple looks more akward than her?? She has always been the one with the angry face... I mean, I don't think it's staged but it seems like she tried too hard to look happy and smiling and he's just... ok... lol
Great for her though if she's having a good time. Let's see what future brings up!!
As I rmb there were paparazzi pics of her and Will kissing and holding hands too, one or two times only though. So I think this kind of actions do not contradict herself of emphasising the importance of privacy as this is very normal for a couple holding hands while hanging out. She has mentioned in interview that she doesn’t like to talk about his boyfriend to protect both of their privacy. But it’s only paparazzi pics here so I don’t see any contradiction. Holding hands or not is a not matter as going out tgt frequently would be seen as dating for her, just like her previous relationship, and her can’t avoid going out right?
The reason the quality is so good is because these are pap pics from LA. Even their sneaky pics look great, look around at other celeb pics from LA.
I'm just happy she's happy.
I think she's in LA for work, because i dont think she would want to live in LA. Also, usually actors that dont go to the oscars and only go to the vanity fair oscars pary are negotiating film deals, or are meeting people to arrange auditions, to get aware of film deals, etc. It happens all the time.
Emma has lived in LA now for over half a year tho and is dating a typical LA music guy. So much for "she wouldnt want to".
Congrates to Emma. They look happy together. :D
Many thanks for all your nice replies to my question.
I'm really glad there are people on this forum who can lead the discussion in a polite way without using abusive cant. Though there are a lot of haters on this board too.
For the love of God can we clear up that if someone says something negative they are not a hater.
Hater. Such a pathetic stan like term. Grow up.
Take a stroll dude!
Glad she's happy. I just hope she doesn't decide to get pregnant anytime soon. She would do anything to protect her child from public attention and we would probably never see her again.
She is ditching 'acting' and going into activism full time. The easy route.
Don't think you can call activism the easy route. Acting pisses off way less people than the stuff she does now.
"Take a stroll dude!"
I was outside doing just that and feeding the ducks when I wrote that?
WHELP!
:/
If the guy wasnt famous and there were no pictures I would say Emma made up a boyfriend because there is no way I believe Chord Overstreet is an actual name. For an actual person. In this actual world.
They are at Lake Tahoe now.
How do you know?
"Chord is already milking it. Posting a big question mark on his instagram."
See, for me the timing is just really convenient. Way more people know who Chord is today than did two days ago. When the media asked if they're dating why not just say yes and leave it at that. They'd be papped eventually like most celeb couples are when going about their day. It's just odd to go from denials of a relationship to walking down the street all couple-y in 24 hrs. You can't blame people for calling it a PR move. (and this IS different from Emma's recent tendency to disappear)
But don't mind me, I've become really skeptical when it comes to celebs and their relationship with the media. They use each other.
It's not staged you dolts. She can't go out for a walk without paparazzi. She's not gonna stay inside all the time. Let her live.
Well Chord is her age. I thinkthe pictures look real. I wish her happiness and a new movie soon
"It's not staged you dolts. She can't go out for a walk without paparazzi. She's not gonna stay inside all the time. Let her live."
Other than the staged beach pictures we've never seen anything like this before. So I like most sane people like to think it's staged.....
Is there any evidence the beach pictures were staged or was that just speculation at the time?
What is this Eden? A tabloid? How are they """ officially """ together just because of a picture of them holding hands?
"For the love of God can we clear up that if someone says something negative they are not a hater.
Exactly. I don't hate Emma. I want her to be successful, even if she just wants to be an activist, although I don't think so since she's still hanging around Hollywood. But if I feel frustrated by her I say so. I do the same with any actor I like. It doesn't mean I hate her.
"It's not staged you dolts. She can't go out for a walk without paparazzi."
Sure she can. People on twitter have spotted her many times and you don't see any photos of it end up online. Paps aren't always there and a lot of times if they are it's because the actor's publicists have set it up.
Emma gets photographed VERY rarely. Nothing compared to other celebs. Go through candid pictures of her and look at the date. If she cant walk without paparazzi she would only leave the house ten times per year at maximum and we know thats not true.
Even in LA she manages to not be photographed which is rare. Only when she was with Chord she was photographed. She's been there for months and we only have three pap shots. All with Chord.
It's almost as if that walk attracts paps more because it is a story .And not simply a star going out for a walk
"Is there any evidence the beach pictures were staged or was that just speculation at the time?"No evidence for or against that. It was perfect timing because Will had those pictures with the white powder. It is not likely they would be caught on a distant island without someone tipping them of. But that someone could have also been someone at the hotel to earn a little on the side.
The pictures here with Chord are staged. 100%. That does not mean the relationship isnt real tho. Only that the pictures are staged and paparazzi were called. It could be for press or as a "coming out" to be left alone in the future.
That sounds quite reasonable, actually.
Emma hates been paped so whats changed?
Better to be paped once willingly than to be hounded by them while they try to confirm the speculation about her and Chord that was already happening in the media.
I suppose the media isn't that bothered who she is dating as it once was. If this was 5 years ago she wouldn't have got away with denying it for so long.
I'd agree with "anon 06:33pm". It seems to be staged, the most likely reason has got to be Emma wants to give paps "some stuff" in order to be left alone. At the moment I doubt this was a good action, but, anyway, time will show.
That's a point you would have got to ask other celebs (whether that's good or not).
Any celeb here?
For so long? It was only yesterday
All those reports are wrong. Emma is NOT DATING Chord. It his twin brother Note Underroad.
The names Underroad. Note Underroad. License to pen.
Yay for Chord.
Yikes for Emma.
What
Is it odd that seeing Emma take off her sweater makes me horny?
It's always speculation. You're not really going to get confirmation on something like that. But the timing... Within a week of those Will photos a statement saying they'd broken up months before was released and we got the beach pics. How often do we get pictures of her at the beach, but somehow a set of her frolicking and looking cozy with a new boyfriend were released at such a perfect moment. She gets around and vacations without being photographed all the time and in reality, aside from tweeting about it maybe, most people don't care enough to take/post photos or tip someone off. Plus her reputation and image are pretty important part of her career it makes sense that she'd gave nipped any association in the bud as quickly as possible.
Because of the Washington post talking about her insecurities, maybe she is trying to show world she is happy and not insecure.
Emma used to look so pretty before, what has happened to her looks now, she is looking more and more plain everyday. I think she is not aging too well. Most people don’t find her that pretty anymore. The only thing she can do to rescue her fading looks is to style herself well, which she fails most time. Very rarely do I come across her recent pictures and think, wow so pretty, which I used to think a couple of years back. Everything is going down for Emma.
The fringe, activism, the tattoo and staged photos are nothing but attempts to stay in news. People are giving her nothing but hate, most often you come across negative comments for her then positive. Rupert and Dan have let go of limelight without trying to do silly things to stay in news. People still love them even though they are not as popular as Emma. It is time emma let’s go of it too and maintain her dignity, she will get more love and respect.
If Hollywood doesn’t want her, she should let go and do something thing else. Right now it seems like she is clinging to fading fame and limelight and in the process making a fool of herself.
Ok, Sheila, you nailed it, now go and take that nap...
"It could be for press or as a "coming out" to be left alone in the future."
You could be right, but I don't think they will be left alone now that she confirmed the relationship. That's not usually what happens. Quite the opposite, actually.
People are giving her nothing but hate, most often you come across negative comments for her then positive .
Another lie spread by haters/trolls like you
Agree
I don’t if their relationship is real or not but all these recent things about them look staged.
*know

Nail on the head. She is done. It's Dan and Rupert she needs to learn from.
A few things:
I'm not going to delete each comment I don't agree with.
I can't always tell when the person's giving an honest opinion or is only trolling.
If you think someone's trolling, ignore them. It's not complicated. You're only giving them the importance they're craving so much by answering them.
Please do not mention those tumblr hate blogs, your comment wlil be deleted. They don't need publicity.
The only persons I can block are those with a Blogger account who follow my blog. Which is none of the people who comment.
Lastly, if you think I'm enjoying this, you're wrong. Having to deal with this crap every. single. morning. is not my idea of the start of a good day.
Happy Mothering Sunday Emma and to all you mothers out there!
What? How to fade into obscurity with movies and TV shows that nobody sees?
Some of these comments are gold, it must drive some of the Dan and Rupert stans absolutely bonkers knowing that Emma can do so little but still get far more attention than those guys. Lol
Exactly what I was thinking
Cause she's female innit.
I doubt Dan and Rupert stans are mad as neither court the spotlight. Dan purposely doesn't even have social media presence.
"I doubt Dan and Rupert stans are mad as neither court the spotlight. Dan purposely doesn't even have social media presence."
They dont court the spotlight because neither are that great of actors to begin with. For all the venom spewed at Watson for her apparent "lack of" acting talent neither Dan or Rupert are anything to write home about either in terms of awards. If they were really all that great the spotlight would chase them regardless.
LOL WHAT? Daniel is very active on google plus. And that doesn't have anything to do with having social media presence or being female at all. It is simply the fact that Emma is the only one coming out of Potter still having an high level of fame and popularity.She is the closest one to really be an "Hollywood Stars". Dan and Rupert don't even have a better career in terms of awards, since according to imdb Emma surpasses both
Uh oh, now you've gone and done it. Now the Dan and Rupert stans will get angry that you pointed out the facts. Their heads are about to explode. Lol
I don’t think that most of her comments are negative because She have a big fanbase but I agree with you.
The mistake (time’s up tattoo) and activism are staged.
"They dont court the spotlight because neither are that great of actors to begin with. For all the venom spewed at Watson for her apparent "lack of" acting talent neither Dan or Rupert are anything to write home about either in terms of awards. If they were really all that great the spotlight would chase them regardless."
So bitter. Dan and Rupert aren't the best actors sure but compared to Emma they are like De Niro and Pacino. Plus they take risks with various roles and they don't take themselves seriously.
"Dan and Rupert aren't the best actors"
Agreed. Hence, why no spotlight. Thanks for confirming.
You have the guts to accuse US of being bitter after having written the things you and your troll friends wrote about Emma. Anyway, where is this proof they are like "De Niro and Pacino" ? Because as another anon said Emma has more awards. Some voted by the audience, but also critica awards nomination that those two faded into obscurity have not
"Agreed. Hence, why no spotlight. Thanks for confirming."
They never court the spotlight. Just to confirm.
Emma is only in the spotlight more because she is female and she courts it. It's most certainty not because of her talent.
"Anyway, where is this proof they are like "De Niro and Pacino?"
I never said that. I was simply implying their acting skills though not great are streets ahead of Emma's. But out of the trio it's Dan who has the most talent no doubt about that.
"So bitter." Sorry but I literally laughed my ass off. Then I got angry because I realized you weren't sarcastic and that you actually,for real, really don't understand the hypocrisy of accusing us of being bitter when haters came in full force to criticize Emma in a fucking thread about some paps pics of her holding hands with a boy. It must be a fucking joke, really. Hope Eden don't delete this just because I swore
"They never court the spotlight. Just to confirm."
They cant court the spotlight because they are not great actors. If they were the spotlight would court them. You can try and spin it anyway you want but you would still be wrong.
"I never said that. I was simply implying their acting skills though not great are streets ahead of Emma's"
Your opinion but again not based on any fact. There are no awards that Rupert or Dan have that confirm this opinion.
"Your opinion but again not based on any fact. There are no awards that Rupert or Dan have that confirm this opinion. "
Yes it is my opinion. Isn't everyone's here?
So glad I'm not a desperate stan lol
"So glad I'm not a desperate stan lol"
Apparently you are since you seem to be the only one wanting to compare Emma with the other two actors. Lol
"Hope Eden don't delete this just because I swore"
You can say "fuck" as many times as you want, I only delete the comments of people insulting each other. And some others for annoying me.
"Apparently you are since you seem to be the only one wanting to compare Emma with the other two actors. Lol"
makes no sense lolz
Actually there are awards, objective facts that confirms Emma is more talented than them. She has more awards. And while Dan and Ruper have only fan voted ones Emma has also critics awards. So yeah,everyone states their opinion , mine and that anon's is only a little bit closer to the truth than yours
"makes no sense"
Im not at all surprised that you cant comprehend it. LMAO
"You can say "fuck" as many times as you want, I only delete the comments of people insulting each other. And some others for annoying me."
reported :/
"Im not at all surprised that you cant comprehend it. LMAO"
i wasn't the one who started the comparison
ROFL
Sometimes I am curious: i ask myself how many different people write these posts attacking Emma on this blog. I believe there are only like 2-3 at max coming from those hate blogs coming bere and writing many comments
"i wasn't the one who started the comparison"
Nice backpeddle Mr. Pacino/De Niro. Now you are just flailing.
Bhwhahahahahahaha
its the same middled aged stan lol
"I believe there are only like 2-3 at max coming from those hate blogs coming bere and writing many comments"
Most likely.
"Nice backpeddle Mr. Pacino/De Niro. Now you are just flailing."
makes no sense lol
It's amazing how these comment threads start out mostly fine and on topic but at some point, almost without fail, drift of into same few generic criticisms of Emma and commenters attacking each other.
surprised her stans haven't mentioned how she saved batb from box office failure in this thread yet lol
"It's amazing how these comment threads start out mostly fine and on topic but at some point, almost without fail, drift of into same few generic criticisms of Emma and commenters attacking each other."
Because some people just like to hate on EW for one reason or another. But to be fair this happens with all celebrities and individuals in the spotlight with their respective sites. I never really understood the desire to go to a fansite and troll it for the sake of trolling since i have better things but there are people out there who behave in that manner just because.
Guess some people have way too much time on their hands. Lol
Hoping that any of these threads could remain civil with constructive debate is a useless endeavor. But as Eden pointed out you just have to skip over the comments of those who are either trolling or simply looking to argue for the sake of arguing. Ive found there are plenty of people on here who are more than fine to converse with.
You know, it's funny, but seeing Emma photographed out in public with a show-biz boyfriend... Doesn't this remind you just a little bit of her "locationship" with Johnny Simmons while making "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" in Pittsburgh in 2011?
I wonder if they're actually working together on some under-the-radar project...?
Maybe, but Perks was a low budget film that still garnered some attention before it was completed. If they are working on a film it must be WAY below the radar because there hasnt been any word on any project that she is involved with and that doesnt generally happen with her.
LOL are you seriously attacking Dan and Rupert because they don't have an agressive PR team and a publicist like Luke Winsor? They are actors,they don't care about giving the Daily Mail photos and stories also Vanessa Hugdens (D-list at best) gets a lot of press and limelight and you know why? Because she has Twitter,Instagram and a ruthless PR team...sounds familiar lol
No one attacked Dan and Rupert, only stated their own opinions since people felt the need to compare the 3 of them to begin with.

Yep 100%. Publicity is all that Emma has left it seems.
Yes they've attack them saying that they're not great actors and they've faded into obscurity which is not true at all if you look their IMDB pages
Whether they are good/bad actors is subjective to the individual. Its no different than those who have said the same about Emma. Its just a matter of opinion.
"Whether they are good/bad actors is subjective to the individual. Its no different than those who have said the same about Emma. Its just a matter of opinion."
Most would agree that Emma has underwhelmed lately.
"Most would agree that Emma has underwhelmed lately."
Based on what? comments here? Doubtful. The people who comment here are but a very small percentage of her fanbase and i would say even on here the positive feedback outweighs the negative.
"Maybe, but Perks was a low budget film that still garnered some attention before it was completed."
So, speaking of acting and low budget films, I have been wondering for a while why Emma doesn't just do some indie films. Even the most established actors do them. Yes I know some say she can't act but I don't agree. She's no Meryl Streep but I can't believe she gets no offers. If you're an actor you should be acting. Like Lily Collins, who is nowhere near as famous as Emma but she's constantly working. Every film doesn't have to be a blockbuster or have a feminist message. It could just be a good story or an interesting character to play.
Of course it's possible she doesn't really enjoy acting anymore. Maybe writing, directing or producing would be a better fit? I just want something else to talk about besides Chord and Emma's (real or fake) relationship and pics for the next year lol.
"Based on what? comments here? Doubtful. The people who comment here are but a very small percentage of her fanbase and i would say even on here the positive feedback outweighs the negative."
Just look at the comments online outside her fan sites and her box office for her smaller films. She doesn't have a big enough fanbase to keep her B list anymore.
You honestly think she is as popular and as sort after as 2011/2012?

Well, if i had to guess i would just have to go back to Emma's original approach to films in general. She stated a long time ago that she only took scripts or interest in films that mattered to her personally. We have to remember that Potter made her financially secure at a young age so she has a luxury that some actors/actresses dont have. She can afford to be picky or choosy depending on her interest level.
For all we know she could very well be receiving scripts for movies but just not interested in them.
"Of course it's possible she doesn't really enjoy acting anymore. Maybe writing, directing or producing would be a better fit? "
Certainly a big possibility. Emma to me has always seemed to want to try her hand at many things. While i think she enjoys acting im not convinced its something she loves above all else. She tends to like learning and experiencing other things so maybe you are right. Maybe she will dive behind the camera instead of in front of it. There are many avenues she can take but i dont get the sense that acting is the be all end all for her when it comes to personal satisfaction.
"You honestly think she is as popular and as sort after as 2011/2012?"
Are Dan and Rupert as popular as they were after Potter? And i think what you mean is "sought" after correct? As i stated in my previous post we dont really know how many scripts pass by her desk as she has never been one to just do any movie for the sake of doing them. Dan and Rupert seem like they want to make a living specifically doing movies, i never got that impression from Emma judging by her selectiveness of movie roles.
It would difficult for anyone here to really gauge how much interest is in her without having any inside information to her career. I remember a while back a director wanted Emma to do a low budget horror flick that she passed on. Ironically, that movie ended up having Ashley Greene in it who had more fame from the Twilight movies. But the movie itself was not very good so i just never got the feeling that Emma wants to do just any movie.
Lets face it, she doesnt have to do just anything. She is in no danger of being poor at this point. She could literally just retire on what she has already earned.
Many comments are not related to this post. Stop comparing Emma, Rupert and Daniel. They are both great.
Emma and Chord real or not ? That’s the point. Thanks
Im wondering she date someone famous and someone with no education to speak of. He is not very bright. Is this more of a short term fling because she finds him physically attractive enough to tolerate him?
How haters got that she is less popular now than immediately after HP, btw?
Agree with Anon above, Emma is not as popular as some of the other actresses. On you tube videos views on most emma videos are really less, especially compared to Emma stone, Jennifer Lawrence.
Also agree that outside of her fan sites people, opinions on Emma is not very great.
I am an Emma fan, but sadly I have to say that the above is true.
Part of the reason Emma remained more popular then Dan and Rupert is also because of her looks.
"How haters got that she is less popular now than immediately after HP, btw?"
Fan sites closing. Box office flops. No projects in the pipeline. Dates a reality star.

But but Beauty and the......oh the Circle
lol
1) didn't see any fan site closing. And even if they were I saw a few others coming up the last year or so
2)Literally every star has box office flops. Not many can say they were the lead of such huge blokbusters
3)Wanna talk about how many flops your great Dan and Rupert had?
You are wasting your time bro. Even if she had 10 films the last year and 9 of them earned 2 billion and 20 Oscars and she had one single flop they would bring it up to discredit her. That's obviously an hyperbole, but that's how delusional haters' minds work: they bring up Evert little negative thing in order to put down her achievements. That's called confirmation bias. Since they dislike/hate her they tend to focus only on the bad thing while ignoring the rest . Objectively speaking she is far from being "done" as someone here said.

1) Name them.
2) She was the lead in Harry Potter - what is your point?
3) Why bring them up?
BTW I am not the same person as the person you are replying too.
1) Name the ones that closed
2) yeah she was the female lead, she was also the female lead of a 1.3 b movie, surpassed only by Daisy Ridley and Kate Winslet in the history of films from that point of view
3) I brought them up because some emma's hater mentioned them, now I could rewrite the same sentence with literally every actor/actress instead of those two and it would still be true
"We have to remember that Potter made her financially secure at a young age so she has a luxury that some actors/actresses dont have. She can afford to be picky or choosy depending on her interest level."
That's true, her financial position gives her more freedom of choice, but that's why I mentioned Lily Collins. She's also in a fortunate position because of her father but she still works a lot and its clear she wants to. Emma can afford to be choosy but she's kind of taking that to the extreme, no? Lol! I mean, is there no script she finds even a little bit interesting? But yeah, acting doesn't seem to be her priority these days. I could see her writing a book or even making documentaries as part of her activism though.
I just hope she does something new this year and doesn't spend the majority of her time getting media attention for dating a former Glee actor.
"1) Name the ones that closed"
I asked first.
"2) yeah she was the female lead, she was also the female lead of a 1.3 b movie, surpassed only by Daisy Ridley and Kate Winslet in the history of films from that point of view."
None of those actresses made the film a success. SW was a success because the original trio came back. Titanic was the success in part due to the Leo fans. Beauty was a success because of the 1991 film. It was guaranteed over a billion with or without Emma.
Emma was lucky to get cast in Harry Potter. If that didn't happen she would have been a model or something. An actress? Not a chance.

A) she is not as popular as she once was. none of the trio is. hp magic has worn off in that way.
B) stop lying about new fan sites.
Some people commenting on here are really silly.
1. If you're going to comment on how Emma isn't aging well, well that's some sexist, patriarchal bullshit, because essentially your complaint is that she IS aging, which is completely natural. You clearly don't see any beauty in age.
2. People who are saying Emma isn't doing anything are clearly not paying attention. At the golden globes she spoke about how she has been working very closely with IMKAAN, the black UK feminist organization and that's why she chose its founder to accompany her, who you can she from the videos, she greatly admires. Emma has mentioned many times in the past that she doesn't just lend her face to something she doesn't really care about. She just started the UK Justice and Equity Fund and I'm sure is working on activism every single day.
3. She probably chose to get a "Times Up" tattoo because it's something she cares about and wants to publicize to garner more support for. Emma isn't vain enough to do it for attention.
4. If she's working on a movie it's probably low key as she doesn't talk about things until they really get going. She clearly likes to keep things private until she legally has to share as part of her job.
5. If you have hate for her, why the heck are you on here? I've seen things go downhill on here in the last few years and I don't like it.
How is Emma even "aging" when she still is in her twenties and so young? Lol
I am still waiting to hear what fans site closed
"I am still waiting to hear what fans site closed"
To quote Eden (from the recent Kid's Choice thread);
"At least emmawatsonitalia and emmawatsondaily have closed."
And just generally, because someone holds a different opinion to you it does not make them a stan or a hater.
I'm guessing that Eden started this blog as a fun exercise. I'm also guessing it's now a lot less fun. She has made it clear she is willing to allow people to express differing views.
People can disagree with the views of others, but the personal attacks are tiresome.
I hope this blog stays around, but if there is continued unpleasantness, I wouldn't blame Eden i she pulled the plug.
it's sad and pathetic that some people hate (ahem I am sorry, I mean strongly dislike her) to the point that they feel happy if she falls in popularity and go to great lenghts to prove it. Regarding those two fan sites, that is the first time I have heard of them, neither were very popular and had just a few thousands of followers on social media. Emma Watson Italia is not even near to be the most visited Emma Watson fansite in Italy.
It's also statistically speaking not really surprising that some sites became less active. Emma has generated hundreds of fanpages over the many years she has been famous and it is bound to happen than some of those, especially the oldest one , are going to be closed. Emma Watson Italia I just saw has been online since 2004, sure it's normal it's owner is going to be less interested to dedicate time to a site for a celebrity, especially now that she/he is probably in her thirties with a family/career whatever.
On a side note, just to further discredit the haters (shit sorry dislikers...) that seem to love the idea that Emma is fading into obscurity, I took a look at Google Trends, which lets you see how popular a person /key word is giving you how frequently it is searched on google. Aside from the obvious peek in 2010/2011, when Emma cut her hair and Harry Potter was ending, Emma has been basically on the same level of popularity, google trends doesn't indicate at all a decrease in popularity, especially since HP ended. Now take a look at someone like Kristen Stewart and you will see the graph is basically like a mountain: rapidly increase in 2008 and decrease in 2012 (wonder why...). I can link that if you want, but you can see yourself by googling "google trends" and clicking of the first result.
But yeah you are right, Emma is losing popularity because two fanpages with about 3-4 k followers have closed.
PS: are you even sure they are closed? not everyone spends the same time on celebrities like you hate....ahem ...dislikers. Maybe they'll come back when Emma will have some new projects.
"I am still waiting to hear what fans site closed"
Next post tells what sites closed. No reply.
= Delicious ownage.
Would love Emma to do a reality show with Chord.
Reality shows dont really sell anymore. Emma would not do that anyway.
Well it's not as if she is doing much else is it?
Chord isn’t reality show star anyways, stop making shit up.
I don't think Emma's fame is fading but I get the impatience. In about six months it will be three fucking years since she's last done a new movie. That's a whole bunch of time of her not doing what is ostensibly her job. And I can't really believe it's because of a lack of offers. Makes me wonder why she even bothered to change represantation in late 2016.
"Chord isn’t reality show star anyways, stop making shit up."
Hush now honey.
Some journalists wrote that Emma changed her agent because she lost her role in "La la land". Emma denied it saying she was involved in BATB at that time and it was a long-term project that indisposed her to participate in other initiatives. However some newspapers outlined that she changed her agency short after the "La la land" has completed the cast. No idea...
Emma wants more high profile roles but if they havent been offered by now nothing will change that. Hollywood doesnt wait for people. Maybe on the level of Streep or Jolie but people below that no.
Emmas career is over on the a-list and she only has herself to blame. After Beauty a HUGE movie she had all the chances in the world and didnt use them. If she at least would tell her fans "stop waiting, Im only interested in yoga and hot guys" it would be good for us to be able to move on and not wait.
"Hush now honey."
Don't tell me to hush you sad Emma hater. Go back under your bridge.
On her Twitter, she used to describe herself as an "Actor and activist". Now neither. Make of that what you will.
Specifically, she described herself as "Actress (then Actor to be more in line with her Collectivist clique) and UN Goodwill Ambassador for Women". Now neither qualifier is on her Twitter.
She's taken up knitting?
Losing out on la la land was the worst for Emma. I wish she had done that over batb, another children’s movie.
Emma stone became a big name after la la, she should thank watson for that, she literally handed stone the best opportunity of her life and a ticket to all the awards. Personally I don’t think stone was anything spectacularl in la la to get so many awards.
Did UN replace her?
I feel emma is not taking up films because as rightly said above she wants only high profile roles, which is not happening.
"If she at least would tell her fans "stop waiting, Im only interested in yoga and hot guys" it would be good for us to be able to move on and not wait."
Some communication would be great. At least in 2016 she said she was taking the year off to focus on activism. And she did do a bunch of public stuff with that during that year. But by now, she rarely even shows her face anymore and is just trucking along. Which is totally fine, if that's what she wants to with her career, but like you said, she could tell the fans if that's the case.
At this point I sort of want to stop hoping for news on something substantial and public, be it activism or acting, but I just can't. I'm constantly checking twitter, imdb and so on for some tiny morsels of information. Sooner or later I'll have to go cold turkey for a at least a little while, I think. (You don't need to tell me I'm sad and pathetic, I already know that, thank you.)
A UN Women tweet from March 6th called her "Out Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson", so she seems to be still associated with them, at least theoretically.
^"Our Goodwilld Ambassador"
^"Goodwill" jesus christ...
"Did UN replace her?"
To be honest who would notice? Pure tokenism at it's best.
If she has taken actor out of her twitter, that’s a clear indication that she doesn’t want to work in films anymore. Then why does she hang out with Hollywood?
Emma was seen at a casting by a couple of people not long ago. It's not because you don't read about stuff happening that it means nothing is.
That is, at the same, uplifting, because something might happen, and disappointing, because probably nothing will. But at least this means she's trying, that's something I guess.
"Emma was seen at a casting by a couple of people not long ago."
Something someone on twitter said?
"Emma was seen at a casting by a couple of people not long ago. " please give US some information. I would made a post on this blog if I was you . nowadays every little rumors is news worthy
People on twitter and facebook.
That's literally all there is to the story, that's why I didn't bother wth an artcle.
Can you link it?
Last time I posted a tweet from someone who had seen Emma, she ended up complaining about beng harassed with questions from fans so I rather not repeat the experience.
Uhm okay. I'll try googling something then ;)
After 2 (TWO i said ) full minutes of intende google reasearch I officially give up. I'll just ask this and then stop bothering you about this argument: do you think they were lying/trolls or do you thing they are realiable?
At first I only saw the tweet and didn't really believe it but a week later I saw another sighting from the same time on facebook and the two sightings come from dfferent people so I doubt they were both lying.
Also, you won't find anything using google. The facebook sighting might not be the easiest to find but the tweet is probably very simple.
Okay thank you very much. Hopefully something will come out of this, unlike that girl on twitter who said she read a script Emma was attached to
Mega Stan
I can't find anything. Please post the link
Just here say. I guess she quit for now.
Just here say. I guess she quit for now.
what?
can't you at least give us a hint of what words to search? It is not easy to find on twitter
why bother its probably bs
Don’t waste time, i really don’t think it is reliable. Emma herself has removed actor from Twitter, that is proof enough that she is done
I blame the stans in part always wanting to know where she is. Leave the girl alone.
"On her Twitter, she used to describe herself as an "Actor and activist". Now neither. Make of that what you will."
She still is an activist obviously. So do not read too much into it.
Turning down La La Land wasnt a mistake. It wouldnt have been that succesful with her and another actor.
Doing Beauty was the right choice it was a guarantee but she made nothing of it.
It soon will be 3 years with no visit to a movie set and she will be 28 in a month. Thats no commitment.
Her being in LA COULD be related to movies, like her going to those parties. But I am afraid its more about Riff Underroad and her playing the housewife like she did for Mack in San Francisco.
"Doing Beauty was the right choice it was a guarantee but she made nothing of it."
Why cause it made more money?
Its possibly she could be stepping away from acting. Her FB only says artist on it (although i dont know if it has always said just that) but she is approaching 30 so maybe she wants to concentrate on her personal life more at this point who knows. Maybe she has some other things planned for a different career path at this point. Good luck to her though whatever she chooses to do.
"A UN Women tweet from March 6th called her "Our Goodwill Ambassador Emma Watson", so she seems to be still associated with them, at least theoretically."
These pics (of she and Chord)are titled as 8 March, which was International Women's Day (IWD).
On her twitter feed she promoted an UN IWD event (in NY)for the same day, featuring the UN Secretary-General, UN Women Executive Director, Reese Witherspoon and others.
I thought it odd she did this staged stroll on IWD.
The 62nd session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women is running in NY, from 12-23 March. It will be interesting to see if Emma is in attendance for at least part of the event.
The main theme of the session is;
Challenges and opportunities in achieving gender equality and the empowerment of rural women and girls
But it is also focussing on;
Participation in and access of women to the media, and information and communications technologies and their impact on and use as an instrument for the advancement and empowerment of women.
Presumably that is something that would interest Emma.
I feel like there is gonna be something coming up relatively soon. She was out of the public eye for a few months, and now she's showing up a fair bit more, plus she mentioned she was working on something in the Time(')s Up video. Seems promising, at least.
Beauty was a box office hit, but it had no real award qualities. It was so popular because it is a beloved story that most people love.
It's impossible to find those people who saw her. At least give us an hint what shoul we search for?
I think the photos are probably genuine and as Chord is in the same business I am guessing she doesn't have to be protective towards him.
I also think Emma is going to be more activist than actress which is fine and is her decision but oh I do miss seeing her in brighter colours or even some of the lovely pastel colours she used to wear. I like black - but in moderation.
Whichever direction she takes I wish her well.
"Beauty was a box office hit, but it had no real award qualities. It was so popular because it is a beloved story that most people love."
Exactly. It had nothing to do with Emma or any of the cast how successful it was in the end. Billion plus was always guaranteed.
These arguments that Emma had nothing to with Beauty's success always seem to miss the point to me. Yeah, the movie would have been huge with another actress. Would it have been bigger, smaller or about the same with someone else? Who's to say and it doesn't really matter. The only important part is that Emma was the star of the movie so she's connected to its success. She could have capitalized on that but, at least as far as we can tell, she didn't. But that's a different story.
"She could have capitalized on that but, at least as far as we can tell, she didn't. But that's a different story."
Thats THE story. Why didnt she do it? Not many actors are ever afforded such a huge hit and she let it pass. I would respect it more if she tried something risky and totally failed.
Realistically Hollywood wont give her better roles as the years pass. She will still get offers but they will be less good. Her agents must have told her that.
I also do not get her activism. While I think its good she is committed to that more so than other famous people her whole bonus is her fame. Emma working at a charity helps as much as one of us. Its not bad dont get me wrong its just not something thats special about her. Emmas special is her world wide fame and she doesnt use it if she works so much out of the spotlight. She should be doing talks and documentaries. Not disappear and be like a regular woman.
Yeah, I think so, too. I'm sure the background stuff is important but there are other people who could do that. Emma would be much more effective by doing stuff in public, like she has done several times in the past. But it's also to her credit that she doesn't shy away from the less glamorous parts of activism and isn't just doing it for the publicity.
You are right about the less glamorous parts that other famous activists feel above. But she could do both. If she just works behind the scenes only her money will be a help but she is doing nothing with her huge fame and online following. Thats a missed opportunity. But those are common for Emma. Beauty and the Beast for example...
thought provoking comments should also be allowed. Sexual harassment is a two way stream. Just delete waht you do not like eden
Yes. The comments were not negative. I don’t understand Why Eden has deleted their comments.
Sorry for the mistakes English is not My mother tongue.
He looks stupid idk. He will be her toy. Emma deserves better
Its her site, get over it. If you dont like it, move on.
So 200 comments, a new record?
And are they officially 'Chemma' (obviously pronounced 'Kemma')?
Why am I tired of comments trying to start the same shit over and over, or of the victim-blaming ones? Who knows.
