Emma Watson is set for a "Harry Potter" reunion with the franchise's producer, David Heyman.

Watson and Heyman will collaborate for "The Queen of the Tearling," Variety reports. The upcoming project is the film adaptation of a book trilogy, to be published by Harper Collins in 2014. The trilogy is being hyped as the next "Game of Thrones," penned by first-time author Erika Johansen.

Watson has signed on to star in the film, as well as serve as executive producer. While "The Queen of the Tearling" is still without a director or writer, and the first book has yet to hit stores, the rights to the novel were already acquired by Warner Bros.

Watson recently appeared in Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring" and apocalyptic comedy "This Is The End." The 23-year-old actress will also appear in the upcoming biblical film "Noah."

Carey Mulligan has hung up her pantsuit, reportedly passing on the chance to play Hillary Clinton in the upcoming biopic, "Rodham."

The 28-year-old "Great Gatsby" actress was rumored to be the front-runner to play the former Secretary of State and First Lady. Mulligan met with "Rodham" director James Ponsoldt to discuss the role, THR reports, but she has since passed on the project.

Ponsoldt, who is directing the "Rodham" script penned by Young Il Kim, is considering some other big-name actresses for the part.

Scarlett Johansson, Amanda Seyfried and Reese Witherspoon are all still in the running to play Clinton. Jessica Chastain was originally rumored for the role as well, but distanced herself from the part earlier this month, denying her involvement by saying, "No, that's actually not true. I found out about the project online, but, yeah, there's a lot of stuff out there."

“They’re all wonderful actresses," Ponsoldt told The Independent. "We’re very fortunate that a lot of really great actors are interested in playing these roles. We’re in an enviable position.”

According to TheWrap, Jennifer Lawrence was also a possibility to play Clinton, but the actress was too busy to commit to the role.

Is Amanda Bynes a rap star in the making? The former Nickelodeon actress has been offered a record deal with a small East Coast hip-hop label to drop her very first album.

Producer Daniel Herman of Chinga Chang Records, a New York-based music group founded in 2003, first told RadarOnline.com Monday that he extended an offer to Bynes for a deal with his rap label. He cleared the idea with The Orchard and Sony Entertainment, then went ahead and reached out to her attorney in Los Angeles.

"She's phenomenal and that's the crazy thing about this," Herman, CEO of Chinga Chang Records, told The Huffington Post during a phone call Tuesday morning. "This is the perfect home. This isn't just a gimmick."

Herman said he has yet to secure a contract with the 27-year-old, but he is "beyond confident" she will sign. He hopes to seal the deal later this week.

"Right now you have a Nickelodeon pop star masquerading as a gangster rapper," he continued. "So I see someone like Amanda Bynes and I know she has talent. I grew up with Nick and the orange couch. I know she has talent. I've heard her sing when she was younger. I wanna get her in the cutting room in NYC and see what she has. Why the hell not?"

As for his opinion that Bynes "is more gangster than Drake" (who the troubled starlet continues to diss in Twitter rants), Herman stands by the bold statement.

"You've got a girl that's very attractive and very talented," he told HuffPost. "If you look at her actions and attitude she represents hip-hop a lot better than Drake. Musically, this girl carries herself. She is hip-hop ... She is not crazy, she is not on drugs. She's just hip-hop! She's a great talent who is going to make some great records with some classic producers."

The "Easy A" actress has expressed an interest in the music biz before. Bynes told TMZ she turned down a job offer with Playboy Radio because she wants to focus on her rap career, but said she will go on the show for an interview while promoting the record.

Rihanna's topless posters for her "Diamonds" world tour have offended the sensibilities of some Dublin residents, who took it upon themselves to cover her up by stapling clothes to the provocative images.

The posters feature the image from her "Unapologetic" album and depict the singer completely naked from the waist up, covered only by her elbow and the album title. She will be performing at the Aviva Stadium on June 21, and hopefully the modesty vigilantes will not be present at what is sure to be a titillating show.

Twitter user Paul Duane commented, "Somebody has stapled a dress to this Rihanna poster on Church St. Well done, you complete nutcase."

Charlene Lydon tweeted another image, captioning it, "North King Street, Dublin says a resounding NO to Rihanna's boobs!"

The DIY-style cover-up is reminiscent of the reaction to H&M ads featuring a bikini-clad Beyonce in New York's Lower East Side, when locals covered up her lower half with a sheet of paper every day.

The short list of actresses who could play former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton has just narrowed even further. News broke Tuesday evening that Carey Mulligan was passing on the role in "Rodham," and now another actress has distanced herself from the part.

Scarlett Johansson, who was listed as one of the early front-runners to play the political bigwig, has no involvement in the project.

"Scarlett has never been asked to do this film," a representative for the actress told HuffPost Entertainment. "She hasn't been approached about it nor seen a script. It's a total fabrication."

Johansson and Mulligan aren't the only two actresses who won't play Clinton in the new film. Jessica Chastain was rumored for the part, but shot down that discussion as pure speculation. Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence was also reportedly mentioned as a possibility for the project as well.

Reese Witherspoon and Amanda Seyfried were the other names associated with "Rodham" in the original report about the casting search, but neither actress has commented on the possibility of appearing in the film. James Ponsoldt will direct "Rodham" from a script by Young Il Kim.

Sarah Jessica Parker is launching a shoe collection -- and in a move that her beloved Sex and the City alter ego Carrie Bradshaw would approve of, she'll be doing it with partner George Malkemus, the CEO of Manolo Blahnik.

The line, called SJP, will be available exclusively at Nordstrom early next year and will include bags and trench coats.

"In a silly way, I think it's what people have expected of me most because of Carrie Bradshaw," she tells Vogue. "... Because I got to play that role, I wore a lot of shoes, and by default I learned an enormous amount. It's hard to walk away from that."

Single-sole pumps and flats will range from around $200 to $300, and bags will likely sell for under $700. Everything will be produced in Europe and New York City, though production location for the trenches is still being decided.

"We're putting new colors together that people don't typically do, just beautiful combinations that you wish existed in your closet," she says.

But let's just hope her SJP heels are a little more feet-friendly than her on-screen stilettos have been -- which she revealed in March have caused her to grow an extra bone in her foot!

"For ten or so years, I literally ran in heels. I worked 18-hour days and never took them off. I wore beautiful shoes, some better made than others, and never complained ... but then I did I Don't Know How She Does It ... you know, [my character Kate Reddy] could not afford really good footwear. So I got [lower-priced] shoes and the bottoms weren't leather, they were plastic, so I slipped a couple times, twisted my ankle. I went to a foot doctor and he said, 'Your foot does things it shouldn't be able to do. That bone there... You've created that bone. It doesn't belong there,'" she explained to Net-A-Porter Magazine. "It's sad, because my feet took me all over the world, but eventually they were like, 'You know what, we are really tired, can you just stop – and don't put cheap shoes on us?'"

The third season of "Game of Thrones" has come to a close, which means it's time for us to continue our highly scientific study of sex and nudity in the acclaimed HBO series.

While "Game of Thrones" offers up a multitude of feminist role models, it has often been criticized for its gratuitous sex scenes. Perhaps this is part of the reason Season 3 reduced the amount of sex and nudity, at least in frequency. Where the first and second seasons featured sex and/or nudity in 10 out of 10 and 8 out of 10 episodes, respectively, the third season got sexually explicit in only 5 out of 10. However, when it came to the duration of scenes with sex and nudity, the third season has both the first and second beat with a total of roughly 8 minutes and 30 seconds per scene. By comparison, the first season had 8 minutes and 10 seconds and the second season had 7 minutes and 40 seconds.

"Game of Thrones" Season 3 also seemed to have a higher diversity of nudity, with a notable influx of male backsides and even a few flashes of male full–frontal. Of course, it wouldn’t be "Game of Thrones" without also including a few trips to Lord Baelish’s bordello, but on the whole, the sex this season felt more organic to the story than in the past -- alternately steamy (Jon Snow FINALLY losing his v-card) and terrifying (Theon's last romp before being mutilated into an "SNL" parody), but always captivating.

Below ,The Huffington Post has included a compilation of all the nudity and sex scenes from "Game of Thrones" Season 3, for your own research purposes. Please feel free to weigh in with your own theories in the comments below!

The 46-year-old flaunted her bare baby bump in a see-through shirt while picking up some groceries at the Bristol Farms supermarket in Beverly Hills, Calif., on June 9. The actress's belly and lacy black bra could be seen through the sheer top as she made her way through the parking lot with her 5-year-old daughter, Nahla.

Berry, who's expecting her first child with fiance Olivier Martinez, also showed off her legs in cut-off denim shorts, while Nahla looked adorable in a cute tiered dress.

"I'm thinking that this is a miracle. I feel really happy," Berry told ET Online of her surprise pregnancy. "It's one of the best things that happened in my life, for sure."

Rumor has it Beyoncé isn't keen on being Photoshopped. So we hope she doesn't check her email this morning, where she might find a press release from Roberto Cavalli featuring a rather extreme image of herself.

Cavalli announced via email that Bey wore a special Roberto Cavalli "created exclusively for her 'The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour'" at her recent concert, a multicolored silk gown with gold embellishments and cutouts.

Sounds like classic Beyoncé, no? But here's the image they included:

Sometimes, it seems like everything is about being skinny -- juice cleanses will cut calories, yoga will keep you in tip-top shape and there's always a new diet to try. But all the attention placed on being thin is exhausting, not to mention dangerous. That's why we are so inspired by the rising profiles and embrace of plus-size models in the fashion industry today.

From penning articles about the public's severely unhealthy obsession with size to creating model workshops aimed at helping girls of every shape reach their runway dreams, plus-size models are shaking up the fashion game and redefining the rules of modeling. It's about time.

Here are ten models making a major impact today.

1. Jennie Runk

Runk is pretty new to the modeling scene, but she is already making headlines. In April, she modeled for H&M's swimsuit line and became the company's first plus-size model to sport its clothing. Pretty impressive, especially considering she was modeling the typically curve-resistant category of swimwear.

H&M's choice to use Runk created quite a stir, enough that Runk decided to pen a moving essay for BBC about the shoot. She stated in the essay that all the attention the campaign received was an "awkward surprise." She also offered possibly the best advice we've heard yet to young girls struggling with body image issues:

    "I feel compelled to show girls who are going through the same thing that it's acceptable to be different. You will grow out of this awkwardness fabulously. Just focus on being the best possible version of yourself and quit worrying about your thighs, there's nothing wrong with them."

2. Saffi Karina

In April, it was announced that British model Karina would be starting the UK's first-ever plus-size model workshop. Curve Project London features mentoring, hair and makeup sessions, photo shoots, runway lessons, casting tips and experience working with stylists for girls who want to make it in the biz at any size.

We can't think of anyone more fitting for this role, given that Karina is a former "regular" model who decided to switch to plus-size after her agency dropped her for her changing body. Karina explains her goal wonderfully:

    "I want to strive to endorse a positive body image and act as a role model to young women who previously thought ‘thin’ was the only way to get a foot over the fashion threshold."

3. Crystal Renn

We have so much respect for models who switch from "straight-size" to plus-size to improve their health (and their grip on reality). Case in point: Crystal Renn, who said that she switched to the plus-size game after realizing traditional modeling had saddled her with a crippling eating disorder. She's since spoken out about her experience and the problem with fashion's challenging standards.

At the "Inside the Modeling Industry: A Conversation About Health and Beauty in Fashion" panel in February, Crystal stated that designers should change the sample size to eight instead of zero:

    "By having a size 8 sample, you are giving freedom to a designer. Most of the models are going to be size 6s and 8s, and you could have 10s, and if a really amazing model walked in who was a size 0, you would tailor the dress down to her."

4. Justine LeGault

Oh, how refreshing it is when major fashion magazines take the plunge and put a beautiful model with a fuller figure on the cover. Elle Quebec did just that when it cast LeGault for its May 2013 cover. The Canadian model expressed her joy at the magazine's decision on her Facebook:

    The fact that I only got positive feedback about my ELLE cover truly makes me happy. It seems people aren't so shocked anymore to see curves in the medias [sic]. This is great news!
