Emma Watson feels Topless kiss with Daniel Radcliffe was awkward

Emma Watson feels Topless kiss with Daniel Radcliffe was awkwardHarry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe and his co-star Emma Watson have different opinions about their recent on-screen kiss.

While Radcliffe said it was 'vigorous and enjoyable', Watson found the experience 'awkward'.

The actress has admitted it was made tricky after producers told her at the last minute the snog was to be topless.

"I forgot how full-on it was until I saw the movie, and I was like, ''Blimey, where did that come from?'' It was really full-on," the Sun quoted her as saying.

"It was only the day before that they said, ''Oh, by the way, we hope it's all right, but we want you to be topless, and we're going to cover you in silver paint''.

"It was awkward enough as it was without the silver paint and the strapless bra, but whatever.

"It was like some weird social experiment," she said.

However, she added: "He is a good kisser. I can definitely vouch for that."

Prince William gives Diana's ring to Kate


Prince William gave fiancee Kate Middleton his late mother Princess Diana's engagement ring because he didn't want her to miss out on his special day.

The future British king announced his engagement to his long-term girlfriend earlier today (16.11.10) after proposing last month and says he decided to give Kate the band his father Prince Charles gave the late Diana as his way of paying tribute to her.

When asked about the oval blue 18-carat sapphire and diamond ring, William said: "It was my way of making sure my mother didn't miss out on today."

Diana - who was divorced from Charles - died in 1997 in a Paris car crash and William and his brother Prince Harry often pay tribute to her.

It was my way of making sure my mother didn't miss out on today.

William and his new fiancee did a photo call at St James' Palace in London, where they showed off the stunning ring and Kate spoke about joining Britain's Royal Family.

She said: "It's quite a daunting prospect but hopefully I'll take it in my stride. William is a great teacher."

William's father Charles also spoke of his joy at the engagement and joked it had taken a long time as they had been together for eight years.

He said: "I'm thrilled, obviously. They've been practising long enough."

Kate's parents Michael and Carole said they were "absolutely delighted" and "thrilled" by the news.

Her father said: "We have got to know William really well, we all think he is wonderful and we are extremely fond of him.

"They make a lovely couple, are great fun to be with and we've had a lot of laughs together. We wish them every happiness for the future."

Nadine Coyle Almost Killed By Poisonous Gas

Nadine Coyle Almost Killed By Poisonous GasNadine Coyle and her family almost died from carbon monoxide poisoning.

The 'Insatiable' singer feels "lucky" to be alive after a cracked boiler allowed the deadly gas to seep into her Los Angeles mansion, with the problem only discovered four months later when her elder sister Charmaine - who was staying at the property with the Girls Aloud star's parents Lillian and Niall and youngest sibling Rachael - fell seriously ill.

Nadine said: "We were sick as dogs from the gas for weeks and weeks. My oldest sister got so ill we all thought she was dying.

"It was the worst time of my life. We're lucky to still be here."

Nadine, her fiance Jason Bell and the rest of her family were warned they could have died if the leak had not been discovered by a gas worker, and the singer admits the months before the cause of their ill-health was determined was the worst period of her life.

She told Sunday Life magazine: "We all felt like we had really bad flu. My older sister got so ill we thought she was dying.

"It was the worst time of my life, being ill while looking at everyone I cared about getting sick as well.

"It turned out the boiler was cracked all the way up. Everyone was shocked when we found out because it's so serious."

The Irish-born beauty has now moved out of the property.
