'Harry Potter' actorsget star treatment
Imagine if Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Beyonc & eacute; Knowles all showed up at the same restaurant, at the same moment.
The atmosphere was similarly electric as Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe embraced Muggle madness at the world premiere of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," reports USA Today.
Frantic fans screeched at, screamed for and serenaded the "Harry Potter" stars Sunday night at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
"I can't believe the amount of people here," said Watson, 14, who plays Hermione Granger. "Some have been out here since 9 a.m. and it's so hot."
Some revelers had camped out the night before to catch a glimpse of their favorite wizards and Muggles. And even Harry himself, affable actor Daniel Radcliffe, 14, was stunned.
His co-star Rupert Grint, who plays Harry's red-haired pal, Ron, also was amazed by the outpouring of enthusiasm for the film, which opens June 4.
Threats to kids forceMadonna to cancel tour
Madonna reportedly pulled the plug on her planned concerts in Israel after she learned of a terrorist plot to kill her two children, reports IMDB.com.
British tabloid The Sun contends the Material Mom "freaked out" when she was told an unidentified Palestinian group mentioned details about Lourdes, 7, and Rocco, 3, in a series of threatening letters sent to her Los Angeles office.
"The notes were unbelievably scary," a source said. "Madonna is a strong woman, but she freaked out when her kids were mentioned. At first she was prepared to go onstage anyway and hire extra security. But she was not ready to take chances with her kids -- they are her whole world."
