10 sexiest British women of 2010

The 2010 list of the sexiest women British babes is out and it only goes to prove the sun never ever should set on the British Empire. From all corners, sexy British women are taking the world by storm in every field from acting and singing to walking the runway. They may live elsewhere now in some cases, but they all share common national roots, and in many cases they are not only the sexiest British women, they are the sexiest women in the world. [...]

Emma Watson has grown up enough to finally make the list. She has been a in the public eye for many years thanks to her role in the Harry Potter movies as Hermione granger. Born on April 15, 1990, Watson actually hails from Paris, France, where her British parents were employed as attorneys. When her parents divorced, she lived with her mother in Oxfordshire. She is currently a spokes model for Burberry, and is attending Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, U.S. [Source]

Hogwarts or hogwash? Will The Wizarding World of Harry Potter live up to the hype?

It's the most keenly anticipated arrival in theme park land for years but will The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Resort Orlando justify the £134million it cost to bring it to life? Jane Fryer boards a plane to Florida for a sneak preview...

My first glimpse of Hogwarts is from the lush tropics of nearby Jurassic Park.

I am standing behind a gift shop piled high with plastic dinosaurs and fridge magnets and trying to avoid the 45-minute queue for Duelling Dragons — a terrifying rollercoaster that slams your head about like a dead chicken’s — when I look up and catch sight of Harry Potter’s famous school looming above me in all its Gothic, turreted, mullion-windowed glory.

And I’m not the only one. The crowd around me erupts. ‘Oh MAN! It’s Harry Potter’s castle!’ yells Alex, a chubby, 14-year-old and from California.

There’s the Big Hall. And all the towers. It’s just like the film. It’s massive!’

‘Look, Dad. Look! Can we go? It looks way better than Jurassic Park,’ screams his brother Jake.

‘Mum? Mu-uum!? We’ve got to find a way in — it’s Harry Potter land.’ And he’s right. Well, almost.

It’s actually part of The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter, a brand new 21-acre site shoehorned between Jurassic Park and an artificial lake at Universal Studios’ Islands Of Adventure theme park in Orlando, Florida.

Today, I am being given a sneaky peak by a very enthusiastic guide called Meara.

Sneak Peek: Burberry's Trench Coat-Inspired Makeup Line

When you think of Burberry, what image comes to mind? Besides the oft-copied tan, black and red tartan design, it's likely the classic, timeless trench. This wardrobe staple is exactly the inspiration behind the brand's new colour cosmetics line, Burberry Beauty, which is set to launch in July in just 30 doors worldwide. [...]

But spokeswoman Emma Watson will not be involved with the line: "I didn’t want it to be about any one specific type or muse or face," Bailey said. [Source]
