Unlike most kid stars, Emma Watson was in no rush to be an adult. In an interview with W magazine, the 23-year-old actress says, "I never wanted to grow up too fast. I wanted to wear a sports bra until I was 22!" And unlike many actresses, Emma has no desire to top Maxim's Hot 100 list. She says, "The allure of being sexy never really held any excitement for me. I've never been in a terrible rush to be seen as a woman." Emma next stars in The Bling Ring, based on the true story of the Hollywood Hills Burglar Bunch.
The NFL doesn't want Chad Johnson, but police in Florida do. An arrest warrant has been issued for the former NFL star in Broward County after he allegedly violated his probation by not visiting his probation officer. The probation stems from his domestic violence conviction involving then-wife Evelyn Lozada last year when he was accused of head-butting her during an altercation in a vehicle. After his arrest, the Dolphins cut him, and Chad hasn't played in the NFL since. SOURCE: TMZ
David Beckham won't be bending it for much longer. The soccer star is set to retire at the end of the season.

Now you can own a little piece of history -- the bikini that Farrah Abraham wore for the cover shoot of her porn video. Vivid Entertainment has put the item up on eBay with a minimum bid of $500. As of this morning (Thursday), there's one taker. The item is listed as "used," and TMZ reports that this means it hasn't been washed since Farrah wore it for the shoot. There's apparently residue from her fake tan and glitter from her body lotion. Bidding ends just before midnight on Wednesday.

NICKI MINAJ: Won't Be Returning To American Idol
Not much of a shocker -- Us Weekly is reporting that Nicki Minaj will not return to American Idol next season.
An insider tells the magazine that she'll be focusing on her next album, touring and endorsements. "It's safe to say she isn't coming back to Idol. She's okay with it. She had a great time but was only going to do one season, anyway."
That one season was plagued by low ratings and a bitter feud between Nicki and Mariah Carey.
Now it looks like producers will be on the hunt for three new judges. Randy Jackson recently announced that he's leaving the show after 12 seasons. Mariah hasn't commented on her future with Idol, but she's said to be planning a world tour. Keith Urban is the only definite return for next season.
