The Scoop

Instead of sitting around counting the money she's made from the “Harry Potter” movies, Emma Watson, aka Hermione Granger, is said to have inked a big-bucks deal with Chanel. British press is reporting that under the terms of a two-year contract, Watson will become the new face of Chanel fragrance Coco Mademoiselle, and will earn about $6 million.



“This is such a perfect fit for Emma,” said a source close to Watson. “She’s not going to end up like these other Hollywood train wrecks, she just isn’t. This is going to be money in the bank so she can just live a life doing whatever she wants down the road, and it’s something she can be proud of. No one is going to be saying, ‘I never wanted to see Hermione in that light.’”

Could the source be alluding to Watson’s “Potter” counterpart Daniel Radcliffe, who will shortly be reprising his “Equus” role on Broadway? (Radcliffe has a nude scene in the play, in case you missed the frenzy around the play’s opening in London.)
“No one is judging Radcliffe,” the source pointed out. “Let’s just say Emma has always made good decisions, and always will.”
