Emma Watson to Perform in Free Brown University Play

She may be the highest-paid actress, but this weekend, Emma Watson is acting for free. The 19-year-old Harry Potter star and Brown University student will be performing in a student-run production of Anton Chekhov's play Three Sisters from March 12-15, but don't book your trip to Providence, R.I. just yet.

According to Brown's Production Workshop website, tickets to Three Sisters will be available on March 10 free of charge, but only to students, faculty and staff with valid Brown ID. No ID, no tickets. Take that, paparazzi!

Three Sisters is story of Olga, Masha and Irina Prozorov, who are dissatisfied with their small-town life after moving from the urban environment of Moscow. Emma and 13 other actors are involved in the production, but British star's exact role in the play has yet to be confirmed.

'Alice in Wonderland' Breaks Box Office Records

Alice in Wonderland was a huge hit among moviegoers this weekend, and now Tim Burton can count it as his most successful film to date.

The wonders of Wonderland were enough to score the film the No. 1 spot at the box office, earning $116.3 million in the U.S. and $94 million internationally for a total of $210.3 million worldwide.

The 3-D adaptation also broke the record for the highest opening weekend of any movie in 2010 so far, and the best-ever March debut, breaking the previous record of $70.8 million held by the 2007 film 300.

While the movie is still in its opening week, fans can already get psyched to own their own copy and DVR it when it airs on television. Disney intends to make Alice in Wonderland available on DVD at the end of May, and ABC Family just scooped up the TV premiere rights with plans to premiere the movie in 2012.

These days, movies are coming out on DVD just months after their theatrical release, but until 3D TV technology becomes more commonplace, the draw of 3D movies will still keep moviegoers coming.

 

Justin Bieber to Sing Songs From 'My World 2.0' Tonight on QVC

Justin Bieber may not be far from selling his own product line on TV, but tonight the Canadian pop singer will be appearing on QVC to perform songs from 'My World 2.0,' beginning at 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. ET.

Those who order the CD/DVD combo will also get a copy of Justin's debut album, 'My World.' If you're a hardcore fan, you probably already have it, but it's still a pretty sweet deal. 'My World 2.0' arrives in stores on March 23.

Nina Dobrev Might Like Berets


If Nina Dobrev has learned anything from her on-screen character, it's to find a signature item for your wardrobe and make it your own. For Elena Gilbert, it's the leather jacket. For Nina, it's the slouchy beret.

We spotted the 21-year-old actress wearing three different versions of the trendy piece. We love her unique fashion taste, but our fave thing about Nina is that she's not a label snob. While on a break from the Atlanta set of The Vampire Diares, Nina tweeted, "Venice Beach! Just bought a hat from the boardwalk..Soaking up the last rays of sunshine in California" and included a photo of herself proudly wearing her bargain purchase: a cute blue knit beret.

Earlier that weekend, Nina rocked her hippie-chic style with a similar knitted beret in olive while meeting fans with co-stars Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley and she later tweeted, "Knit hats. Oversized and slouch-y. New obsession...Do it!"

Teen Battles Obesity with Help from First Lady

When you're grabbing a bite to eat with your friends, which would you rather order: a cup of low fat yogurt with granola or a slice of extra cheese pizza? We know which option we should choose, but sometimes making smart decisions is super tough for kids and teens. That's why Michelle Obama is hoping to make doing so a bit easier.

According to the Associated Press, the First Lady is dedicated to fighting childhood obesity and getting kids active this year. Paris Woods is one teen who she wants to reach. Right now, Paris' weight puts her in the overweight range, just like nearly one-third of kids in the United States. Doctors are scared that if Paris' weight continues to climb, she'll enter the obesity range and have major health-related problems now and in the future.
