Emma's dream is over after fashion line flops



No magic touch: The Harry Potter actress was disappointed her clothing range did not impress shoppers

Emma Watson has put her dream of building an eco-friendly clothing empire on hold because her line for ethical label People Tree has failed to sell.



The 21-year-old Harry Potter star, who has also collaborated with Italian designer Alberta Ferretti in the past, is now concentrating on her studies at Oxford University instead.



‘Emma was so disappointed,’ says a source. ‘But even at knockdown prices, the clothes were still sitting on the shelves. She’s also stalled on plans to do more with Ferretti because she doesn’t have time.’

Twilight star Kristen Stewart has been keeping busy between takes on the set of her latest movie Snow White And The Huntsman.



The 21-year-old has started her first novel and has asked her mother Jules, a scriptwriter, to help her find a publisher.



‘Kristen began by writing short stories,’ says a friend. ‘She has been working on her novel while filming and has almost finished it. She’s desperate to be a published writer in her own right.’

She says Wales will always be home – but that hasn’t stopped Katherine Jenkins house-hunting in Los Angeles. Following her decision to appear on the hit TV show Dancing With The Stars, mezzo-soprano Katherine, 31, is renting an apartment in Beverly Hills and is already so smitten with LA that she wants to buy a property there. ‘If Katherine cracks America – and it looks as if she may well do – then she will need a base there,’ says a chum. The singer split from fiance Gethin Jones last year.



Nats doesn't bother with Big Brother





Ladylike: Prince Harry's friend Natasha Rufus-Isaacs turned down thousands to be on the reality TV show

Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs has rejected a big money offer to star in Celebrity Big Brother.



The 28-year-old daughter of the Marquess of Reading was offered thousands to appear in the Channel 5 reality series but, given her close connections to the Royal Family – she is one of Prince Harry’s best friends – Nats turned it down.



‘Nats is desperate to promote her clothing range, Beulah, which is made by women who have escaped the Indian sex trade,’ says a friend.



‘She also wants to remain loyal to her inner circle.’
