Many child actors have struggled to be taken seriously as performers after wrapping up their young, breakthrough characters. Think Steve Urkel, Screech, and 80 percent of the original "90210" cast. However, one Hollywood name you won’t be seeing on a “Where are They Now?” special is Daniel Radcliffe. Or, for people still dreaming the Hogwarts dream, Harry Potter. While spending 10 years as a do-gooder boy wizard certainly has the makings for a type-casted actor, Radcliffe has continued to expand …More

The Sundance Film Festival officially opened for business late last week and among the big talk has been the sexy – and sexed up – performances of Daniel Radcliffe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in their respective new films. After the premiere of “Kill Your Darlings,” the buzz was about Radcliffe’s erotically-charged portrayal of poet Allen Ginsberg, who spends a good deal of the film making out, masturbating, and having gay sex. We’re definitely not at the Hogwarts anymore. But …More

Natalie Portman is the gift that just keeps on giving. The Academy Award winner has been named the most bankable star in Hollywood, according to Forbes. That means that no other leading actor provides as much value on the dollar as Portman. And while Portman is not the only Jewish actor on the list, she’s definitely the most bankable. The calculation was made by Forbes’ crack team of algorithm analysts who looked at the following benchmarks for various lead actors in order to determine …More

Attention eligible ladies, Daniel Radcliffe is now single after breaking up with girlfriend Rosie Coker. But fair warning: The "Harry Potter" star can’t seem to keep his broom in his pants. Radcliffe and Coker had been dating since 2011, after the two met on the set of 2007’s “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.” But the magic apparently wore thin for Radcliffe, so the two actors, who had been sharing his $4.3 million apartment in New York, called it quits. And not everyone is happy …More

Daniel Radcliffe’s supernatural thriller “The Woman in Black” is definitely getting buzz--but as the most complained about move in the UK so far this year. The movie, released in February, has already racked in an unusually high amount of complaints to the British Board of Film Classification--120. BBFC bosses won’t give details about the complaints until they release their annual report in 2013. But until there is a confirmed report, it is believed that the objections to the film …More

Miriam Margolyes, also known as Professor Pomona Sprout in the Harry Potter-verse, takes on a new, lonelier role in “Dicken’s Women.” Margolyes plays all 23 characters in the one-woman production currently touring the UK--a change from starring in movies alongside other Jewish (and good-looking) actors Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Rudd (anyone else remember her in “Romeo + Juliet”?). She says she is enjoying the new experience, but admits she would love some company on stage. She told …More

Daniel Radcliffe did British band Slow Club a huge favor by appearing in their new music video, looking very Hunter S. Thompson-ish in a rumpled Hawaian shirt, emoting drunkenly all over a deserted bar and lip-synching along with the lyrics. Slow Club’s Rebecca Taylor was thrilled when the actor agreed to star in the group’s new video, telling NME, “We’d known Daniel was a fan and found this pretty cool, but then we met him, got to hang out and chat, and now we have him in our video. He is …More

Daniel Radcliffe had some unexpected visitors on the set of his new drama, “Kill Your Darlings.” The New York set became mobbed with kids from the elementary school across the street during recess time. That’s one cool field trip. He told Ideastap.com: “I was filming in New York a couple of weeks back, and the shoot was opposite an elementary school. It was a nightmare. The kids would come out every recess, see us and go absolutely mental.” That’s a little harsh if you ask …More

Daniel Radcliffe missed out on the opportunity of a lifetime when Gary Barlow and Andrew Lloyd Webber discovered that he was anti-monarchy. The “Take That” star and the theater king wanted to secure Radcliffe as the lead performer for the Diamond Jubilee anthem, but were forced to reconsider after discovering that he isn’t a huge fan of Britain’s royal family. Lloyd Webber told Britain’s Daily Telegraph, “I had seen him perform sensationally in last year's Tony Awards (for …More

J-Connected celebrities took to the red carpet last night at the Metropolitan Museum's annual Costume Institute Gala to strut their stuff in style. Some took calculated risks that paid off (we're looking at you Scarlett Johansson and Ivanka Trump). Others had more trouble mastering the dos and don'ts of style--check out the side boob action on Gwyneth Paltrow and Marc Jacobs' indescribable fashion failure below. …More

Daniel Radcliffe is the hottest young leading male to hit Hollywood in a long time. The Trevor Project is a non-profit dedicated to crisis support for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth. This should be a match made in heaven. It’s not. Though the young Jew was awarded the organization’s Hero Award in 2011 after two years as its unofficial spokesperson, the new PSA ad is anything but heroic. He talks straight at the camera in that serious tone of voice that makes all but the strongest …More

Now that he’s made millions of dollars and crossed the Hollywood-Broadway divide, Daniel Radcliffe must be facing his own mortality and stuff, because the 21-year-old actor is talking about children. Wait! The best years of your life are yet to come! Don’t burry them beneath a pile of spit up and dirty nappies! You’re young and virile! You have a promising career as a leading man to look forward to! It seems our pleas have fallen on deaf ears. Radcliffe tells Nylon magazine, "If you have four …More
