Emma Watson is shocked that 'topless' pictures of her apparently of her with a towel around her waist standing by a hot tub, have been exchanged between students at the prestigious Brown University.

 

'Emma is trying to seek out the source so she can put a stop to it. She says the picture has been faked,' The Daily Mail quoted a friend as saying.

 

Watson's spokesman said the number of fake nude pictures have made the actress tiresome.

 

'There have been a number of nude fakes over the past two months. Emma has seen them and finds them tiresome. People should know better,' he said.

Keira Knightley and Rebecca Hall are reportedly going head-to-head to bag the role of Daisy Buchanan in a new adaptation of The Great Gatsby.

 

'Both know it could be the role of a lifetime and are doing everything they can to impress the director Baz Luhrmann,' the Daily Express quoted a Hollywood insider as saying.

 

'It's the most sought-after part for a young actress since Rooney Mara was cast as Lisbeth Salander in the remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Whoever gets it will be the Queen Bee of Hollywood,' he added.

 

The eagerly-awaited film of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, with Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role, will be the first since the 1974 version starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow.

 

It is however reported that Hall is said to have the edge over Knightley.

The next James Bond film is set to be rolled again as the production on the stalled project is likely to resume shortly.

 

The 23rd in the James Bond series, starring Daniel Craig, was put on hold indefinitely this year as the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) film studio fell into a financial crisis.

 

According to the Hollywood Reporter, now the firm has filed for bankruptcy lately and plans a massive restructuring of its finances, reports the Daily Express.

 

The deal means film projects previously put on ice can now go ahead and MGM executives have announced the Bond film is a high priority.

 

The movie is likely to hit the cinemas in late 2012.
