Emma Watson walked a pink dog to raise awareness for a breast cancer charity. The 'Harry Potter' franchise actress was blasted by critics and fans recently when she was spotted taking a puppy out that sported fur dyed in a bright colour. But the star has hit back at claims of cruelty towards the one-year-old bichon fries, claiming the dog isn't even hers. She wrote on her twitter page: 'Ayeye. Just to clarify one more time that I don't have a dog. @PinkDarcyDog is pink because her owner is raising money for breast cancer.' Groom Dog City owner Stuart Simons assured concerned fans that the treatment he did on the pet was not harmful. He told website MailOnline: 'Pink is our biggest colour, but I do look after another bichon called Casper who comes in for a blue mohican.' He said the beetroot-based semi-permanent dye is harmless and that all the dyes he uses are completely animal-friendly. He added: 'I wet the dog, rub it on like a shampoo, leave it fo

British actress Emma Watson might not have dreamt in her wildest dreams that walking her friend's dog would lead her to trouble! Watson walked Darcy on the streets of Bethnal Green, East London and unfortunately the dog was coloured. The dog was dyed a shade of bubblegum pink. As soon as the pictures of her walking Darcy was released, Watson found herself answering questions related to animal cruelty. TV vet Emma Milne and animal rights activists group PETA voiced their opinions against the colouring done to the dog. "Dying a companion animal's fur causes the animal stress and can lead to complications or allergic reactions that endanger the animal's health. Our dogs and cats love us regardless of how we look; we should extend the same kindness to them," said PETA. "Dogs are not playthings; they are not dolls. If you are putting a chemical on a dog's fur, you could cause that dog problems," Emma Milne said . Like us on Facebook As things seemed to g

Emma Watson has blasted the media for accusing her of dyeing pink a dog that does not even belong to her. The Harry Potter actress was photographed walking a brightly coloured pooch at the weekend, prompting concerns that the makeover could be causing distress to the animal. In response to the story, Watson explained on Twitter that the dog - whose name is Darcy - belongs to her friend Sophie Sumner, an America's Next Top Model contestant who is attempting to raise money for breast cancer research . She wrote: "I wish Darcy was my dog but she isn't : ( sorry daily mail! Was just walking her xx @sophiesumner @PinkDarcyDog. "I don't have a dog. @PinkDarcyDog is pink because her owner is raising money for breast cancer...#factcheckingtakesfiveminutes." Although "animal-friendly" vegetable dye is believed to have been used to colour Darcy, some critics have claimed that the procedure could still have a detrimental effect on the pet. In a statement

Oh dear, Emma Watson is not happy. Shes not happy because a national newspaper has posted a story about her supposedlyturning a little dogdeep magenta in colour and all because she was snapped taking the said pup for walkies. But thats not the real story, heatworlders , which is why Emma had to take to Twitter to point out the truth. The Harry Potter actress says that the brightly-coloured fur-ball actually belonged to her good pal Sophie Summer from Americas Next Top Model . And the reason the little pooch is wandering around with a coat brighter than a lollipop is because Sophie is raising money for breast cancer research. Em tweeted, I wish Darcy was my dog but she isn't : ( sorry daily mail! Was just walking her xx @sophiesumner @Pi nkDarcyDog. "I don't have a dog. @Pi nkDarcyDog is Pink because her owner is raising money for breast cancer...#factcheckingtakesfiveminutes."

Emma Watson recently finished shooting new film The Bling Ring Emma Watson has caused controversy among dog lovers after being spotted leaving a dog grooming salon with a bright pink pooch . East London's Groom Dog City was bombarded with abusive emails after Emma , 22, was snapped with fuchsia Maltese terrier puppy Darcy - who belongs to her model friend Sophie Sumner. The parlour insists they use dog-friendly vegetable-based dyes to transform pets, but some experts say there are other issues with the procedure. 'Dogs are intensely visual creatures, and I have no doubt they would be aware of a major colour change, particularly green and blue hues which their eyes pick up more,' leading animal behaviourist Dr Roger Mugford tells the Daily Mail. 'It would likely affect the way other dogs interact with them, too.' However, Harry Potter actress Emma took to Twitter last night to reassure her fans that the mutt had been styled! for a g ood cause. It turns out

Emma Watson has defended herself on Twitter after she was snapped with a pink-dyed dog. The Harry Potter star was criticised by animal lovers when she was spotted walking with the candy-coloured one-year-old Maltese terrier, but has now pointed out that the dog belongs to a pal who had it dyed to raise money for Cancer Research. "Just to clarify one more time that I don't have a dog. #factcheckingtakesfiveminutes," the actress tweeted. "@PinkDarcyDog is pink because her owner is raising money for breast cancer. I wish Darcy was my dog but she isn't. Was just walking her," she insisted. Some pet lovers on Twitter called the dyeing practice animal cruelty.

3:31am, Mon 25 Jun 2012- last updated Mon 25 Jun 2012 Pink poodles are becoming a fashion statement. Photo: Getty Harry Potter actress Emma Watson was spotted over the weekend in East London showing off what could be the latest celebrity trend to hit the UK, a shocking pink dog. The dog had its fur dyed at Groom Dog City. Owner Stuart Simons told The Daily Mail: Emma has dyed Darcy twice. Pink is our biggest colour, but I do look after another bichon called Casper who comes in for a blue mohican. Simons said all his dyes are completely "animal friendly" and denied that the treatment was harmful. He said he expected trade to pick up over the summer as many people want their pet to reflect their national pride. I expect to get a lot of requests for red, white and blue. And I may be able to do the Olympic circles on poodles. Emma was criticised by outraged animal owners on twitter who said it was animal cruelty.

By Jenny Stocks PUBLISHED: 19:04 EST, 24 June 2012 | UPDATED: 19:04 EST, 24 June 2012 Tucked away in a fashionably shabby corner of East London, moments from the famous Columbia Road Flower Market, Groom Dog City looks from the outside like your average unassuming dog groomers. Anyone opening the glass door is greeted by a chorus of woofs and howls from dogs of all shapes and sizes from little pugs to a drooling British bulldog. But look closer and theres something rather peculiar about a few of those pooches. Stuart Simons, who runs Groom Dog City, is pictured with his own bright pink bichon-frise Molly, left, and Casper As Ralph the poodle spins around, theres a flash of colour: his tail is bright green. Casper, a very vocal bichon frise, has a midnight-blue Mohican running down the middle of his head, while fluffy four-year-old Molly, also a bichon, is shocking-pink from head to tail. Welcome to the newest canine trend to hit the UK: the doggy dye. Last week Harry Potter actre

Emma Watson looked a more like Paris Hilton when she stepped out with her freshly-dyed pooch this weekend. We didn't have you down as a Barbie girl, Emma! The 'Harry Potter' actress has turned her tiny white bichon frise a shocking shade of bubblegum pink and, no, she didn't do it with the wave of a magic wand. In fact, Emma took her pooch to the salon for a 90 dye job. And animal lovers are SO not happy about it. TV vet Emma Milne told the Daily Mail that Emma's actions are completely irresponsible and will, most likely, make it difficult for her pampered pooch to interact with other dogs: "Dogs are not playthings; they are not dolls. If you are putting a chemical on a dogs fur, you could cause that dog problems." "Even if the dye is completely safe and the [beetroot-based] dye that Emma Watson has used should be absolutely fine you are still altering the way the dog looks and smells to other animals.

The Lancme brand in the Philippines recently celebrated the local and worldwide success of its brand ambassador, British actress Emma Watson, via an afternoon party at the Skye Lounge in Bonifacio High Street.

The Skye Lounge in Bonifacio High Street was decorated in elegant Lancme style, with sheer, shimmery draperies at every corner of the rooftop deck. The highlight of the event was the launch of the newest Lancme product, set to hit shelves soon: Rouge in Love, a lip color and fashion accessory in one.

VANCOUVER Once upon a time, summers belonged to Steven Spielberg. Now they belong to franchise serials that unfold with all the earnest schmaltz of a soap opera. From the last round of Harry Potter to the return of Captain Jack Sparrow and the motivational expose of the X-Men, the summer of 2011 finds plenty of familiar faces urgently competing for your attention. And no wonder: Hollywood is still reeling from declining box-office and flatline attendance over the past year, and summer is still make-or-break time for the bottom line. The drama is palpable for every industry player, making this summer something of a sudsy season. That said, we take a look at what's headed to a theatre near you, with a nod to the soap-opera era now riding into the Hollywood sunset, and perhaps setting the stage for the industry as a whole.

Jennifer Connelly is in talks to star in 'Noah'. The 41-year-old actress is being lined up for the role of Noah's wife in Darren Aronofsky's biblical tale alongside Russell Crowe, Emma Watson and Ray Winstone. 'Black Swan' director Darren - who previously worked with Jennifer on 'Requiem For Dream' - is known for his dark vision and his take on the well-known story has been described as a "fantasy epic", with Russell Crowe's Noah set to be played as an embittered nature lover disillusioned with humanity. The tale sees Noah given a mission by God to build an ark to save the world from a forthcoming flood. Ray Winstone is reportedly set to play Noah's arch enemy and Emma Watson will star as one of Noah's sons' love interests, with Logan Lerman and Douglas Booth also lined up for the project.

Okay, now our belief that Darren Aronofsky was watching Sunday's MTV Movie Awards before casting the younger characters in his take on "Noah" is confirmed. Emma Watson is the latest actress to have her name be attached to the project. Deadline has learned that Watson is in talks to play Ila, a "young woman who develops a close relationship with Noah's son, Shem." Shem will be played by Douglass Booth, while Logan Lerman is playing Noah's other son, Ham. Considering Lerman and Watson already worked together on "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," we're excited to see her chemistry with Booth on the big screen. The only other actor cast on the project is Russell Crowe, who is playing Noah. There are still roles open for Noah's wife and enemy. Jennifer Connelly and Liam Neeson had at one point had their names attached to those roles, but it doesn't seem like those deals will come to fruition. There also are likely other roles, like Wa
