Evanna Lynch looks trouserless as she bares legs at Warner Studios Tour launch

It seems Evanna Lynch has quite the natural flair for magic.

The young star, who plays Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter franchise, not only has the ability to steal the limelight from an absent Emma Watson - but also the art to make herself look trouserless.

Attending the red carpet of a studio tour which gives fans a spell-binding glimpse behind the scenes of the blockbuster film series, Evanna stepped out in a rather thigh-skimming royal blue playsuit.

Posing for pictures in Watford, Evanna showcased her slim pins as the material draped itself around her, pulling in at the waist with a bejeweled belt to create the illusion she was just wearing a shirt.

Rupert Grint and Tom Felton were among the stars to join her at the grand opening of the Warner Bros Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter - from which Daniel Radcliffe and Watson were absent.

 

Hundreds of screaming fans lined up outside the studios in Leavesden, Hertfordshire, where all eight of the multimillion pound-grossing films inspired by JK Rowling's magical stories were shot.

Local boy Grint, otherwise known as sidekick Ron Weasley, said: 'This is the most glamorous I have ever seen Watford. It's exciting for everyone to see.

'There are so many memories from in there and to share them with everyone is great. There are so many highlights but the model of the castle is out of this world.'

The 23-year-old added that he had sneaked out some mementos for himself, including the number from Harry's door in Privet Drive. 

He added: 'You can buy them from most DIY stores, and they've replaced it now.'

Family fun day: Warwick Davis and his family arrive at opening

The three-hour walking tour attraction includes the original Great Hall of Hogwarts School, built for Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.

The hall features graffiti by Hogwarts' pupils, solid oak and pine house tables which were built for the films, and York stone flooring laid more than 11 years ago.

Some of the most iconic sets include Dumbledore's office, Diagon Alley, the Ministry of Magic, 4 Privet Drive, the Gryffindor common room and the Weasley kitchen.

Felton, who played Draco Malfoy, said: 'It's hard to sum it all up in a sentence but I will never forget walking through the Great Hall for the first time.

'It was just as magical now as it was all those years ago.'

Visitors can get up close to the costumes, animatronics, special effects and props used throughout the Potter series and seen by millions on TV and movie screens worldwide.

Sarah Roots, vice president of the Warner Bros Studio Tour, said: 'What makes this tour so special is that everything on show has been used in the making of the Harry Potter film series.

'All the sets, props and costumes are authentic and show the incredible detail and craftsmanship that goes into film production.

'All the films were shot at Leavesden so it's wonderful to be giving the sets a permanent home here.'

Emma is currently on location in Los Angeles filming Sofia Coppola's new film The Bling Ring, telling the tale of a group of Hollywood teenagers who target celebrities' homes.


Meanwhile, Daniel is also across the Atlantic shooting his latest project in the Big Apple.
He takes centre stage as poet-activist Allen Ginsberg in Kill Your Darlings, alongside Elizabeth Olsen.

Boyzone's Ronan Keating and wife Yvonne split after 14-year marriage

Ronan Keating and wife Yvonne have ended their 14-year marriage, it was claimed today.

The Boyzone star, 35, failed to get his relationship back on track after his extramarital affair with Francine Cornell was revealed in 2010.

Yvonne, 37, had tried for the last two-and-a-half years to work through her husband's infidelity, but the strain proved too much for the pair.

The break up: Ronan Keating and wife Yvonne have broken up after 14-years of marriage

According to reports the couple had mainly tried to save their marriage for their children but their efforts were in vain.

When contacted by the Mail Online, a representative for Mr Keating said: 'There is no comment on this.'

A close friend told The Sun newspaper: 'Although Ronan and Yvonne couldn't patch things up, they are both determined to be there for their kids.

'They still love each other and wanted to tell their children and then their friends first, before everyone found out.'

Welcome to heartbreak: Francine Cornell, left, had an affair with Ronan while he was married to Yvonne, right

Ronan's affair with dancer Francine Cornell happened began during a tour and continued for around seven months.

Yvonne discovered her husband had a secret second phone and decided to go through the messages.

There she found intimate correspondence between the father-of-three and the then 26-year-old Cornell.

Yvonne reportedly rang Francine after she found the texts, only to be told by the dancer 'We're in love'.

Heartbroken Yvonne then confronted Ronan who admitted the affair.

Family man: Ronan and Yvonne reportedly tried to make things work for their children

A source said at the time: 'There were some quite suggestive texts that left little to the imagination. Yvonne went ballistic and told him it was over there and then.'

According to sources, Ronan and Cornell's blossoming friendship was the 'talk of the tour'.

The pair met on Boyzone's tour in May and June 2009. 'Ronan and the girl were certainly very close,' one source said.

And while the singer's infidelity shocked fans, one former colleague said the singer is simply getting an overdue 'comeuppance'. 

'Throughout his career he has always cast himself in an angelic light. But the truth has been far murkier,' they said.

'As far as Ronan's concerned the only person that matters is Ronan.

'This is the first time he has been caught out with another woman but there has been talk about his private life for years. Women have always thrown themselves at him.'

 

They added: 'Now you have to wonder whether he always resisted their charms.'

Here come the boys: Ronan met Cornell when on tour with Boyzone in 2009

After begging for forgiveness, Ronan was let back into the family home with his children Jack, 13, Marie, 11 and Ali, 6.

However, with his work commitments on the Australian version of The X Factor, it was difficult for the relationship to survive.

Treatment of the week: Get a fuller pout in just 15 minutes

What is the world coming to when people spend their hard-earned cash on lip treatments?

That was what I was thinking when I sashayed down to Rush’s new flagship salon — The House of Rush on London’s Piccadilly — to try out one such procedure. Twenty minutes later, I left (nearly) converted. 

The Bliss Fabulips treatment takes 15 minutes and promises to perfect your pucker, so that you leave  looking, in their words, ‘pout of this world’.

It begins with a lip cleanse. After that, your lips are scrubbed to remove dry skin, before a ‘firming’ collagen mask is added. 

How you firm lips is anyone’s guess, but it was quite pleasant.

The last part is the application of a gloss with active ingredients to make your lips plump. 

It worked and I walked out with a fuller pout.  But the effects were short-lived, as, after going for a coffee with a friend, all of the product had worn off.

What did last were my smooth, chap-free lips, so if your mouth is suffering after the recent cold snap, you could definitely do worse than this.

Bliss Fabulips, £26 at The House of Rush, 200 Piccadilly. Call 020 7042 3200.

Buying Jewelry Online: How To Choose The Right Company

For anyone looking to purchase fine jewelry, online shopping can be a great way to find the right piece at the right price. There can be many advantages to buying fine jewelry online – with savings being one of the major factors. Reputable online jewelers usually have much lower overhead costs, and can pass those savings on to the consumer.  Another advantage of buying fine jewelry online is convenience – you need travel no further than your computer to choose your jewelry and make your purchase. This being said, there are things you need to consider in order to make your fine jewelry purchase a positive experience.

Choose a Jeweler You Trust
The first thing you need to do is find an online jewelry store that you can trust.  You will have to do a little bit of detective work in order to eliminate the less desirable companies and end up with a list of jewelers that you feel confident doing business with. 

Find out if the website is secure. The jeweler’s website should have 128bit SSL security.  This is an absolute must when you are purchasing online, since you will most likely be using a credit card or supplying your bank account information. Somewhere along the line you will be supplying information about yourself, and the 128bit SSL security will ensure that no unauthorized party can get access to your information.

Also, any diamond you buy, whether it is online or from a store, should come with a diamond certificate. The Gemological Institute of America independently certifies diamonds providing information on a diamond’s characteristics such as color, clarity and size. This is your best way of knowing the quality of the diamond you are buying.

The Online Jewelry Store Should Provide Excellent Customer Service
This cannot be stressed strongly enough.  Before you make a fine jewelry purchase from a website consider contacting the jeweler’s customer service department by email and by phone.  When talking to a customer service representative, ask questions and pay close attention to the responses you receive. If the rep seems irritated with your questions or is spending the entire phone call trying to rush you into buying a product, consider that a “red flag”.

If you contact them by email, check to see how quickly they reply.  It should take them no longer than 48 hours during the business week – within 24 hours is the ideal.  Look for professionalism and a helpful attitude in their emails. 

The Website Should Be Informative
The jeweler’s website itself should have information on how to buy a quality diamond, the different types of precious metals, etc.  They should have a wide variety of choices, and be able to help you find what is right for you. By providing you with information the company is helping you make an educated purchase.

Look for Quality Craftsmanship
What the Internet can offer you is the chance to shop several stores without having to drive all over town; this allows you to choose a company whose fine jewelry shows attention to detail and craftsmanship.

The Return Policy Can Be Important
What if you receive the jewelry and are dissatisfied? Review the company’s return policy before you buy so you know what rights you have if you want to return your fine jewelry purchase.

See If They Offer Extra Perks
Things like free shipping add up to big savings. If the online jeweler is located outside of the state you are buying from you pay no sales tax. Free shipping combined with no sales tax can make a big difference in your bottom line.  Some companies offer a discount on your next purchase. This can also save you big money. If a company is offering these or other incentives, they will likely have this information throughout the site and in their shopping cart. 

Your Jewelry Purchase Should Provide Good Value for the Money
When buying fine jewelry, you are getting a piece that will last a lifetime and become a family heirloom. Look for fine jewelry that offers the best value which is not only determined by how much the jewelry costs but by the quality of the piece and the materials used.

Online jewelry shopping offers convenience, selection and value. Consider the factors above when making your next fine jewelry purchase so you find the online jeweler that is right for you.

How To Know If A Diamond Is Fake Or Real

A diamond is a girl’s best friend! It is a beauty and unique nature makes it easy to admire. Diamond purchasing is a great task and an exciting pleasure. There are various types of diamonds so when buying real diamonds, one should learn about fake diamonds so that you will be able to distinguish between the fake vs. real diamond. Nowadays the best fake diamond is in great demand. Here are some of the simple solutions or the methods that will enable you to find out the difference between the fake vs. real diamond. The best way to know about the precious diamond is to acquire knowledge from a diamond professional. If possible take the diamond along with you to the shop and get all the details from the jeweler. The best fake diamond looks so similar to the real diamond that even a professional diamond jeweler may get confused and may have hard time to finding out whether it is a fake or the real diamond. In case you are not satisfied with the views regarding the real diamond from the professional, here is a way to find out which is a real diamond and which is a fake diamond.

The first method is to check the diamond with the help of diamond tester as it will help you to differentiate between real diamond and best fake diamond. It is an electronic tester that can check all the diamonds except the moissanite stone for which the diamond tester is not reliable. The best fake diamond is the cubic zirconia and the weight of this diamond is around 50% more than a real diamond of the same size and shape. This weighing test also can find out the difference between fake vs. real diamond.

Another method for checking the best fake diamond is the transparency test in which the diamond is placed up side down on the news paper and if the written matter from the newspaper is legible then be sure that the diamond is not the real one and it can be a best fake diamond. One of the disadvantages of this method is that some of the stones may appear to be a real diamond due its fine cutting. In this case, one needs to be sure about the cutting methods of the stones. This method is very common and enables you to find the real diamond from the best fake diamond.

The third method that helps you to differentiate between fake vs. real diamond is the fog test. Hold the stone or the diamond and blow some air from your mouth on to the stone, if the fog appears on the stone and stays there for next few seconds then it shows that the stone is a best fake diamond because in case of a real diamond, the heat disappears instantly. The oily layers and dirt on the stone might create some problems to differentiate fake vs. real diamond. Thus, before carrying out a test for best fake diamond, clean its surface properly.

The ultra violet test is another method that will enable you to find out the real diamond from the best fake diamond. The real diamond projects blue color light if put under the ultra violet light or the black color. There are two options, if the blue light does not appear, it can be best fake diamond or can be a high quality diamond.

All of the above tests can satisfy all the test conditions to differentiate between a best fake diamond and the real diamond.
