Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has
been harbouring a crush on co-star Emma Watson for
years - confessing both he and Daniel Radcliffe
battle to win favour with the pretty actress during
filming.
The trio met as
kids when they were cast as the leading stars of the
boy wizard franchise for the first movie in the
series, 2001's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
They have all
featured in every Potter film since - and Grint
admits he couldn't wait to lock lips with Watson on
film for the upcoming Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows, when their characters share a kiss.
The 20 year old
is prepared for rumours of their on-screen
relationship crossing over into real life - and Grint
will revel every minute of it, even if it's not
entirely true.
Speaking before
he filmed the love scene with Watson, Grint told FHM
magazine, "A lot of people think theres
something going on (between me and Emma Watson)
because I have to kiss her on film soon.
"Ill
be honest with you: its not something Id
say Im dreading. Emmas a pretty girl.
Have Daniel or I ever hit on Emma? Well, shes
quite popular with the cast. As for who has the worst
crush on her - me or Radcliffe - Id rather not
say."
But Grint's
movie kiss with Watson wasn't as good as he had
hoped. He recently admitted, "We've known each
other for 10 years so it was a bit like kissing my
sister."
Michael Jackson's grieving family
will hold a public memorial at Los Angeles' Staples
Center on Tuesday to celebrate the tragic star's
life, according to U.S. reports.
Initial rumours
suggested the family were planning a public viewing
of the King of Pop's body at his former Neverland
Ranch so the singer's legion of devastated fans could
say a final goodbye to their idol.
However, the
Jackson clan denied the reports, insisting they have
no intention of putting the star's remains on show at
home in Santa Barbara, California.
Instead,
relatives and Jackson's advisors have decided to hold
a public memorial at the 20,000 capacity Staples
Center venue - where the Thriller legend was
rehearsing his comeback show a day before his death,
reports RadarOnline.com.
The Jackson
family will reportedly announce the service on Thursday.
