With Daniel Radcliffe set to prove just how grown-up he is — by appearing nude in a London revival of Peter Shaffer's Equus — ushers at the Gielgud Theatre stand poised to prevent audience members from snapping cell-phone pics of the young actor's, er, wand. "Pictures aren’t allowed in any London theaters," a play rep tells the New York Daily News. "But for Equus, the staff will be extra-vigilant." C'mon, folks, he's 17!

Subtitled: Are Celebrities Out of Control?Extras gets funnier every time I see it. It is so good, I had to watch it twice and I believe I laughed even harder the second go-round. Did you know that HBO is airing this show up to a day before it is programmed? I like this idea. I can watch on Saturday and let the juices meld and then write on Sunday, having watched it a second, hilarious time. Stories get out of hand as Andy’s restaurant faux pas turns into a horrible media scandal. When he tries to fix it, he refuses to apologize the entire time, and the spin becomes negative again since he had gotten into a fight with a dwarf and had knocked him unconscious.

Actor Daniel Radcliffe — star of the Harry Potter films — has begun to surpass his boy-wizard character. Seems the 14-year-old is aging faster than the cinema adaptations of J.K. Rowling's novels can be made! While Harry's technically still prepubescent in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (opening June 4), his portrayer already shows signs of adolescence.
"Hormones are interesting things," he admits. "Most of [the cast] is noticing members of the opposite sex because we're now 14."
Adolescence is hard enough for most kids, but being known worldwide as the bespectacled student of sorcery must be even tougher. "It is not as different as people would expect," says the poised young man. "I'm going through what every other teenager goes through, except with posters [of me everywhere]."
