Emma Watson’s friend at graduation was really an undercover security guard.

In case you missed the Emma Watson‘s selfie, she graduated from Brown University this weekend.

At the ceremony, she sat with a “friend” who was also seen leaving as part of her entourage on Sunday.

But, after Emma’s “friend” took off her cap and gown, it was easy to see that she was an undercover agent dressing up as a graduating student.

See the image below and you will see the gun, radio, and mace.

But, don’t get it confused. It is not like Watson had to pay for friends in college. According to a statement by a rep from Brown University, “Emma has enjoyed her time at Brown tremendously and made many friends there who she keeps in constant contact with.”

“Many of the students at Brown, especially Emma’s friends, were very protective of her. They tried to help her avoid the cameras that would occasionally follow her on campus,” a source told Hollywood Life.

The British actress, who played Hermoine Granger in the Harry Potter films, graduated from Brown University and according to the Associated Press, she received a bachelor’s degree in English literature.

Watson who recently turned 24, posted on Twitter showing off her new cap and gown for graduation.

Emma Watson started studying at Brown University in 2009. She also spent time at England’s Oxford University while also working on several movies.

In an interview with US weekly she said, she was never asked for an autograph on campus and that she “threw a party for nearly 100 students and not a single person put a photo on Facebook.”

Emma Watson recently starred in the Russell Crowe biblical picture “Noah“.

Macaulay Culkin’s the Pizza Underground Booed Off Stage, Pelted With Beer

Some people are just not into Macaulay Culkin‘s band the “Pizza Underground.” During their set at the Dot to Dot Festival in Nottingham, the band got pelted with beer and booed off the stage.

The band only performed a remix of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day” titled, “Pizza Day“. But, before walking off stage Macaulay Culkin said, “why are you throwing those, I’d rather drink them.”

When the audience didn’t stop, he stopped the show, saying “That’s the end of the show, goodnight.”

The Pizza Underground were recently announced as part of the Riot Fest lineup. Here’s footage from their Saturday performance at Dot to Dot in Bristol. People booed them in the past, but at least they were not soaked with beer.

Bill Murray Crashes Bachelor Party and Gives an Awesome speech.

In the video below, you will see the man of comedy and improv, Bill Murray walk in on a bachelor party in Charleston, and disch out some advice to everyone but the groom.

Here’s the background to the story:

Over Memorial Day weekend, 20 of my buddies from Boston College got together in Charleston for our friend EJ’s bachelor party. At one point during dinner at a steakhouse, one guy goes to the bathroom downstairs and sees Bill Murray sitting with some people with a fishing vest on. We talked to the waiter to see if we could send him some drinks, to which Bill declined. One of my buddies then went down and asked if he’d come up and say a few words for EJ and got a “No thanks.” My buddy comes back up dejected and tells us it’s not going to happen. Two minutes later, Bill fucking Murray walks into the room and gives this speech.

Now, outside of making hit movies Bill Murray does bachelor parties. This man is a true jack of all trades! Regardless, he gives some amazing advice. “You know how they say funerals aren’t for the dead but for the living?…”

Denzel Washington’s “The Equalizer” Movie Trailer is Amazing [VIDEO]

Watch Denzel Washington in the new trailer for ‘The Equalizer’.

This is the first international trailer for Denzel Washington’s new movie, “The Equalizer,”.

Based upon what we have seen so far, this movie going to be the perfect production for the Academy Award Winning Actor.

Washington plays a man with “possible military training,” who takes on the Russian mob because of an innocent girl he barely knows is in trouble.

As Washington points out in the book he is reading in the trailer, “It is about a guy who is a knight in shining armor, except he lives in a world where knights don’t exist anymore.”

The Equalizer features Denzel Washington, Chloë Grace Moretz, Marton Csokas, Melissa Leo and Haley Bennett.

The movie centers on a retired intelligence officer Robert McCall played by Denzel Washington, who turns into a ruthless vigilante for the helpless. He decides to help a young hooker Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), he gets attacked from the Russian mafia, and in particular Teddy, a brutal killer (Marton Csokas).

In 2010, it was announced that Russell Crowe was to star in the upcoming movie. But, in December 2011, it was reported that Denzel Washington was going to bring the movie to life.

“The Equalizer” is directed by Antoine Fuqua, the director of “Training Day” and the movie that led Denzel Washington to his first Academy Award.

There are also plans for a possible sequel.

“The Equalizer” is due out on September 26.

Seth Rogen Accused of Causing Elliot Rodger’s Mass Killing

Seth Rogen was recently accused by Ann Hornaday of the Washington Post for promoting Elliot Rodger’s mass killing in Isla Vista.

Ann Hornaday published an op-ed yesterday that implied that one of the principal reasons for Elliot Rodger‘s mass killing in Isla Vista was the white men of Hollywood’s fanatasies that “often revolve around vigilantism and sexual wish-fulfillment.” Hornaday specifically cited Judd Apatow and Seth Rogen’s recently released “Neighbors” as an example:

“How many students watch outsized frat-boy fantasies like “Neighbors” and feel, as Rodger did, unjustly shut out of college life that should be full of “sex and fun and pleasure”? How many men, raised on a steady diet of Judd Apatow comedies in which the shlubby arrested adolescent always gets the girl, find that those happy endings constantly elude them and conclude, “It’s not fair”?

Seth RogenHornaday argued the level of violence and sexual conquest creates a bad example for people:

If our cinematic grammar is one of violence, sexual conquest and macho swagger — thanks to male studio executives who green-light projects according to their own pathetic predilections — no one should be surprised when those impulses take luridly literal form in the culture at large.

Seth Rogen was not too happy about the article and recently responded to Hornaday.

 

Judd Apatow would later respond to the article as well.  

What do you think? Do you think movies can cause someone to murder people for no reason? Do movies that promote sexual conquests like “Neighbors” set a bad example? Do you think production companies should censor the type of movies they produce? Do you think television shows like “Dexter” help promote this type of violence? Or, do you think this crime is attributed to mental illness? Do you think Asperger’s syndrome is the cause for the shooting? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!

Movie Producer Steals $1.3 Million Dollars from Louisiana Film Industry?

Megan Diane
-

Former Seven Arts Entertainment CEO Peter Hoffman accused of masterminding a fraudulent film tax credit scheme in Louisiana.

The former CEO of the Seven Arts Entertainment is under scrutiny after facing yet another indictment for allegedly stealing money from the government.

According to Deadline, federal prosecutors filed a 22 count indictment against, Peter Hoffman, his former business partner and New Orleans-based actor and film producer, Michael Arata and Hoffman’s ex-wife, Susan Hoffman. Together they were able to obtain $1.13 million dollars in Louisiana tax credits without ever doing the work that they told Louisiana state officials they were going to do in return.

The trio is facing charges of conspiracy, wire and mail fraud, and accused of filing misleading and false information that claimed that a certain amount of money was spent, when allegedly that was not the case.

The whole problem revolves around 807 Esplande, an abandoned mansion that was to be renovated and developed into a state of the art post production building and residence for film crews.

Hoffman was previously indicted in felony tax fraud charges but was later acquitted.

Hoffman maintains that it is the government, not he, that is involved in a conspiracy, and that his current legal problems are rooted in the fact that he was acquitted in 1997 on felony tax fraud charges brought against him by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles.

Hoffman argues that the government sees him as an individual trying to take advantage of Louisiana tax credits.

Total Recall

Hoffman became famous for creating tax haves in order to avoid paying taxes in the United States. In the late 1980’s, Hoffman created a system called the “Dutch Sandwhich” where he developed a legal method of decreasing the amount a film has to pay in taxes by involving Dutch and Netherlands shell corporations. He used this method in such films as Total Recall, The Doors, Rambo III and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

Hoffman went under investigation and was later acquitted.

What do you think of the case? Do you think Hoffman actually planned on trying to take money away from Louisiana? Or, do you think he was doing what any smart businessman should do in the film industry? Do you think the Federal government was right for stepping and trying to indict the film producer? Or, do you think Louisiana should have handled this on their own? Do you think state’s outside of California are open to tax fraud? What do you think?

The Worst Drivers in Washington DC are School Bus Drivers

The worst drivers in Washington DC are actually school bus drivers.

The Washington Post recently conducted an investigation into DC traffic enforcement, and it turns out that some of the worst traffic offenders in the DC are actually city school bus drivers.

D.C. school buses racked up traffic camera violations. That School buses are 17 more times than the average driver in Washington D.C.

The school buses, driven by professionals whose job is to transport children to school were caught speeding and running red lights hundreds of times over the course of four years.

According to the Washington Post, DC uses only 750 school buses, whose drivers have been caught on camera speeding and running lights 347 between 2009 and 2013.

More than 20 drivers were caught on traffic cameras were also involved in crashes.

As a result of the tickets, no drivers were ever disciplined and they still owe the city around $13,000 in fines. The agency that controls the city bus fleet, The Office of the State Superintendent of Education, recently stated that they will be implementing changes that include the immediate termination of drivers caught speeding more than 15 miles over the speed limit.

If you are filming a movie in the Washington D.C. area watch out for those school buses because they are running red signs with a vengeance.

Two members of popular Japanese pop group AKB48 were injured after a fan attacked them with a saw.

Rina Kawaei, and Anna Iriyama, 18, were meeting with fans in the northern city of Takizawa on Sunday when a man lunged forward and slashed them with a saw.

They received cysts on their hands and heads according to recent reports. A male staff member was also cut on his hand. The police later arrested the 24-year-old man, identified as Satoru Umeta.

A Tokyo concert scheduled for Monday night was later cancelled due to the recent attack.

AKB48, which was founded in 2005, is hugely popular in Japan and other Asian countries.

The group currently holds the Guinness Book of World Records for being the world’s largest pop group.

AKB stands for Akihabara, the technology district of Tokyo, where the group has its own theatre. Members perform there almost every day.
