Say goodbye to good old Hermione Granger.
Harry Potter star Emma Watson is trying her hand at a much edgier role in the upcoming sex- and drug-filled coming-of-age flick The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
So just how risqué is Watson getting?

"The world has only seen her basically in one role—a pretty conservative, sweet, smart character, which is great," Watson's Wallflower costar Nina Dobrev told us earlier today while promoting her PSA for Puma's breast cancer charity organization Project Pink. "But this one, she pushes the envelope in a different way than anyone's ever seen her, which is really great. It's a great role for her."
The British cutie recently opened up about the racy film, even revealing that her character Sam has a Rocky Horror-inspired scene in which she dances around in a corset.
So what will Watson's die-hard Potter fans think of her dark side?

"I think they're going to be excited to see her in something else," Dobrev says. "And see her spread her wings and try different things. It's always exciting to see someone you love do something different and see a different side of them."
And it sounds like we'll be seeing a new side to the Vampire Diaries actress as well.
"My character is a victim of abuse," Dobrev says. "So she's abused, and [my brother] Charlie [played by Logan Lerman] witnesses that. That's kind of my drama of the movie."

Hunter Parrish has never been shy about showing off his bod.
But the Weeds hottie apparently takes it to a whole new level on tonight's episode of the Showtime series by leaving very little to the imagination.
How so?
Read on for the details...
PHOTOS: Celebrity Six-Packs!
Aspiring model Silas (Parrish) is hired by a conceptual artist named by Maxine (Horrible Bosses actress Lindsay Sloane) to strip down for her gallery opening.
"He has muscles on muscles," Sloane tells me. "It's crazy what you're going to see. You don't get to see the full monty, but you get to see the full full body in tiny tiny white skimpy bikini underwear.
"He really stepped it up this season body-wise," she continued. "He has a beautiful swimmer's/dancers body. That was actually the first scene I shot, so not a bad day at the office."

Sloane's multi-episode arc also includes naughty time with Justin Kirk. "It's the most naked I've ever been in front of a crew," Sloane said.
And then there's Sloane's work with Jason Sudeikis in the upcoming A Good Old Fashioned Orgy. "There is an orgy," she said. "It's not just called that so people will talk about it.
"I am a serious actress," she added, laughing. "If I have to show up to work and have fake sex with Jason Sudeikis, I will do it for the craft because I am an artist."

Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett and Hank Baskett's baby boy is growing up quick!
The reality-TV couple is opening up about 19-month old Hank Jr.'s latest milestones.
But is one of them cursing?
READ: Which Celeb Baby's First Words Were "Oh, S--t!"?
"Every day it's her goal to teach him two to four things," Hank told us at the ESPY Awards in L.A. "He's just soaking everything up like a sponge. She just taught him phew the other day...He'll walk by the trash and be like, 'Phew!'"
Hank, who says he and his wife are toning down their potty language, added, "It's funny [because] when he says sit it sound like he's saying s--t. He'll tell Martini [our dog], 'Sit! Sit!' And it's like, 'OK, I know what he's trying to say.'"
"Every minute's a new milestone," Kendra told reporters. "We're teaching him how to swim, of course, it's summer time. Plugging his nose, going under water...He has such a sense of humor. When he burps, he laughs at himself. It's so funny."
As for when they'll be having that baby No. 2, Hank teased with a laugh, "Practice makes perfect!"

Victoria Beckham's New Baby Stroller Cost How Much?

Leave it to Victoria Beckham to order a very posh (and pricey!) stroller for baby Harper.
Victoria preordered an iCandy Peach stroller in time for it to be delivered to the house before she was born early Sunday morning.
But get this...

While the stroller comes in three colors (sweet pea, black jack and tomato), I'm told that Victoria made sure hers was a one-of-a-kind by having iCandy create a custom Peach in the same shade of lilac that her mom used to decorate her U.K. baby shower.
Cost? $900!
Posh Baby, anyone?
Meanwhile, that was daddy David taking the family (sans Victoria and Harper) to dinner last night at L.A.'s Fig & Olive Melrose Place. The group of 11 included the Beckham boys, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz, as well members of Victoria's family who are in from England. They enjoyed New York Strip steaks, filet mignon and olive oil mashed potatoes during the two-hour meal.

Vampire Feud Alert: Robert Pattinson vs... Adam Sandler?!

We'll get to why in the world Kevin James is saying Adam Sandler is hotter than Robert Pattinson in a minute.
But first, which one of James' recent big screen costars actually—get this!—urinated on the former King of Queens funnyguy?!
READ: Breaking Dawn is coming to Comic-Con
No, it wasn't his beautiful Zookeeper castmate Rosario Dawson.
"The elephant Rosie peed on me," James told reporters last night at the animal flick's premiere in Los Angeles. "I was laying down near her and she just opened the floodgates... [And] they pee a lot!"
Perhaps the movie should be renamed. Water From Elephants, anyone?
Meanwhile, we asked James about his just-announced animated comedy Hotel Transylvania in which he'll lend his voice alongside Sandler, who stars as iconic vampire Dracula.
So will Sandler beat out Twilight's Pattinson for hottest bloodsucker in Hollywood?
"You know the answer to that one!" James laughed. "Sandman all the way! Sandman rocks it!"
We don't know about hotter, but probably funnier.
As for how he's is going to get into his character as famed monster Frankenstein, James joked, "I've kind of lived it for quite a while. I had the bolts, I just took them out for tonight so they're there and I use them when I'm ready."
In more serious red carpet news, animal rights activists showed up across the street from the premiere to protest the film's use of animals. However, Sony quickly  denounced the opposition, insisting in a statement that no furry or four-legged creatures were harmed during the making of the movie.

Hugh Hefner, Who? Crystal Harris Parties With Mystery Man

With Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris' Lifetime special Hef's Runaway Bride only a week away, it seems like both halves of the one-time couple are moving on just fine from their surprising breakup.
Hef's got his new No. 1 lady, Playboy's Miss January 2011 Anna Sophia Berglund.
And now, Harris may be rebounding with a romance of her own...

Over the weekend, Hef's former fiancée hit Pure nightclub in Las Vegas, where she was caught flirting with one of her party pals.
Upon arrival, Harris and her entourage of 10 were escorted to a VIP table, where the aspiring singer drank champagne, took photos with fans and danced on seating booths with friends. According to a source, Harris and her mystery man were "trying hard not to show their feelings for one another during the party, [but] it was obvious to those around that Harris only had eyes for him."
Throughout the night, Harris, in a short black sequined dress, was spotted getting close and talking intimately with her guy. While we don't know his exact age, we can say he's a lot younger than Hef.
In a photo of Harris, the dark-haired dude can be seen standing behind the blond beauty wearing dark pants and a dark gray sweater over a white collared shirt. The two avoided getting photographed together by separating whenever camera guys got close.
There was no visible PDA, but they did "sneak away at the end of the night, as they were seen leaving together while the rest of Harris' friends stayed behind," our source said.
Harris wasn't the only former Hefner girlfriend partying it up with a hot hunk over the weekend...

Are Giuliana and Bill Looking for a Surrogate?

Bryant Sentosa/PhotoBoothless
Giuliana Rancic still wants to have a baby. Even so, my E! News pal and her hubby, Bill, have decided to take a break from trying—well, a break from using IVF treatments to make it happen.
"Bill and I agree this is a year of fun and we're not going to talk about it,' Giuliana told me earlier today. "But you can't turn it off. I do always think about it and it is something we will get back into when the time is right. Right now, it's been a really nice healthy break."
The couple has talked about using a surrogate...
READ: How much did Victoria Beckham pay for new baby stroller?
"We're both open to it," Giuliana said. However, will it come to that?
"My doctor said, 'You know, you're really not there yet. You've only done IVF twice. One time it worked, the other time it didn't,'" Giuliana explained. "He goes, 'It's a numbers name. We've looked at everything, and you are definitely a candidate for IVF to get pregnant using your own eggs and Bill's sperm.'"
The fourth season of their reality show Giuliana & Bill (premiering Monday on the Style Network) centers on Bill's more permanent move to Los Angeles from his native Chicago. "He doesn't love L.A.," G said. "I'm trying to get him to like it, but it's been a struggle."
Giuliana also exclusively told me that she'll launch a fashion line on HSN in January. "If my stuff ends up on the bad end of the Fashion Police, I am going to cry," she said, laughing. "I will jump off the balcony at E! So fingers crossed."
The collection will include reasonably priced women's clothing and handbags. And yes, Giuliana will (bravely) ask Joan Rivers for advice. "I totally trust her opinion," she said. "As soon as I get the samples, I'll show them to her."
Oh, and then there's the restaurant business. "My mom's a great cook, and everyone always says she should open up a restaurant," G said. "So that's also a part of the new season, opening a restaurant. The great debate is, is it going to be in L.A. or Chicago? I, of course, want L.A. and Bill is convinced that people in L.A. will only eat sushi and tofu and they don't eat pasta."
