As if the cries of “Ten points for Gryffindor!” every time she answers a question in lecture correctly aren’t humiliating enough, Emma Watson, returning to Brown to resume her studies in the winter semester, was stopped and questioned by customs at the passport desk at JFK because they thought she was an unaccompanied minor.
An “insider” (a janitor? A keychain on Emma’s backpack? Neville Longbottom?) says: “Emma was mortified. Not only did they not know who she was they thought she was a child. It was very embarrassing but she managed to awkwardly laugh it off.” Fuck it though, backpacks are hella practical, so who cares? [Glamour]
In an uncharacteristically classy turn of events (that’s realistically most likely a savvy moneymaking move), Kimye have turned down a $3 million offer from a foreign tabloid for their spawn’s first pictures. (For perspective: Brangelina got $4.1 million for Shiloh; a whopping $14 million for the twins.) They are probably just waiting for the bids to escalate, but they also rejected the idea of featuring the baby on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, so maybe they’re turning over a new…? Nah. [TMZ]

Today in I Can’t Believe Alexander Payne Didn’t Write This, George Clooney is going on a road trip with his close friend Rande Gerber (who is also Cindy Crawford’s husband), to promote their new venture, Casamigos Tequila. The genesis of this business plan? “George and Rande came up with the idea of creating their own house tequila years ago when they both built houses in Mexico.” And here is Smirkface Silverfox singing with Neil Diamond/jumping his own shark.

Lena Dunham is a human, likes free swag.
“They actually send [free clothes] to me in my size. No one is being an a—hole and sending them to me in a size 4. They are sending me clothes, they fit, and what people should know is that I always wear them. Somehow even if I would not have bought it, the fact that it was free and my grandma’s depression-era mentality make me think it’s the most beautiful piece I have ever owned, and I wear it for several days straight.”
Lena Dunham has incendiary thoughts and feelings:
“I think we can all agree with the idea that the beautiful girls that get all the boys get written about. They don’t usually write.”
