The “will-she-or-won’t-she?” over Emma Watson’s possible matriculation at Columbia continues, much to our tipsters’ agony. Last week, co-star Daniel Radcliffe appeared to let the secret out when he told the Guardian “she’s going to Brown!” However, other gossip blogs, despite access to Google News, continue to assert that she will be coming to New York rather than Providence, including WENN.com and, uh, Perez Hilton. Since an official announcement has to come soon (and since her co-star is a bit more reliable than a doodling hack), this might be our only chance to use our special logo (which is purposefully in no way over-the-top).
Some alumni are registering their displeasure over Joseph Massad’s new tenure appointment…to the New York Post, of course.
The man arrested for defrauding Columbia of almost $200,000 — and later tried to claim sexual harassment as an excuse — was sentenced to fifteen months in prison.
Finally, the Wall Street Journal shares the heartwarming tale of a journalism school student/Iraq War veteran, Luis Montalvan, and his psychiatric help dog. Save it for a rainy day.

@there's hope yet! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1200723/Looking-wander-ful-Emma-Watson-puts-away-spellbook-gets-cookbook-returns-reality-post-Potter.html
@ignore that its the daily mail
@ugh emma's not coming She’s not coming to Columbia urghhhh *cries*. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDuGRvLQFJ4
Go watch the last 30 ish seconds… The interviewer is like “Coming to school in NYC?” and she’s like “um no…. oops I keep tripping and giving out hints.”
@...... and the comments end there…
@If I were her... I’d go to Barnard.
@obv she'd go to brown i regret not going to brown over this shithole of a school
so, if i were her
i would go to brown too
@haha Columbia just got OWNED.
@It's A Trap! She is obviously saying that she is going to Brown so that she can go to Columbia and not have everyone be expecting her when she gets there. Best way to avoid the paparazzi is to send them off to fucking P-Town while she arrives in style and anonymity in Morningside Heights. Hope she’s in Carman! I know she’s a party girl.
@Admiral Ackbar Aww, you beat me to the trap.
@its not a trap.
give up. she’s not coming here.
get a life and walk away from your computer before you even think about writing another rationalizing post.
@Seriously! You guys are all an embarrassment to Columbia. Cut our losses now.
@DEF Brown... But I heard that BROWN is going to be MATRICULATING at COLUMBIA!ZZZZ
@CONFIRMED I CONFIRMED THAT I DON’T CARE AND NEITHER SHOULD YOU IF YOU HAVE A LIFE.
@SHE CONFIRMED BROWN EMMA CONFIRMED SHE IS GOING TO BROWN IN THE FALL…SORRY…SEE INTERVIEW HERE…

@#53 I Agree with #52. You should be spending your time doing more productive things like reading 50 some comments about a topic you don’t care about.
@Anonymous Hah! Well done.
@yay hermione boo david yates.
@yay hermione boo david yates.
@yayyy hp tonight! swoon
@Harry Potter TONIGHT!!!!!!!
@yeah I am really, really sick of this. I can’t believe so many people on our campus give a shit about celebrity gossip. It’s so depressing. Wake up.
@Anonymous Suck a D
or lighten up
or both, if you swing that way
@Guess what i saw the new harry potter last night in Boston. That’s right, special screening, a day before it was released in the states.
Eat that.
@kidding You must have seen it in Cambridge then, right? Everybody knows the people’s republic of cambridge is not in the states.
@Shit http://www.pollyourvote.com/emma-watson-will-attend-columbia-university-for-liberal-arts-degree
@Anonymous im friends with her ex boyfriend, also a brown student, and shes definitely going there
and if that isnt enough, i just talked to my friend two nights ago who also coincidentally knows her and he also says she going brown… not columbia, sorry people
@girls I heard from my friend who knows her friend she is taking a gap year to go to Tanzania.
@intersex I heard from my friend who knows her friend’s friend’s friend’s uncle’s step-brother that she will be attending the University of Phoenix – ONLINE.
@you're friends with Viktor Krum? Ron Weasley? One of them went to Brown?!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Bollocks!
@Edward James Homeless Just remember this one thing: No matter where she goes, she’s not going to be sleeping with any of y’all.
@keeping the faith i’m keeping the faith
@emma update Emma Watson is hoping her college roommate isn’t a Harry Potter fan.
The 19-year-old begins studying art and literature at Columbia University in New York in September and was asked at a Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince press conference what her ideal roommate would be like.
(http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5hyJd-vTjOsCnxpz5rI9gNktOZgfQ)
@the link is broken , ahhhh. i have no life.
@well that’s kind of silly. If she were coming to Columbia, she could easily have a single as a freshman.
@hmmm What’s brown’s off-campus housing policy for first year students?
@damn it I meant freshmen. Stupid columbia-speak.
@Anonymous Er, but yeah… That’s asserted, but Emma there doesn’t say what college she’s going to.
In fact, the only quotes we have from people who know her are of those folk saying she’s going to Brown.
And then there’s the fact that she was actually on Brown’s directory before pulling herself off.
And then the fact that Brown 2013’s webpage brags of an award-winning actress joining the university.
Let this Columbia rumor die, folk!
@Anonymous Given that Perez pronounced Michael Jackson dead before anyone had called the police, I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Plus, I need something to believe in this summer ever since my mood ring broke.
@yeah, this is ridiculous. I really don’t think it’s natural for people to care this much, but rather we’re just force fed this kind of celebrity gossip when we want to read about other going-ons around campus and the city by reading sites like bwog.
@Seriously, nobody likes a buzzkill.
@Bwog... can you guys not do this? It’s pretty obnoxious.
Thanks.
@Who fucking gives a shit if she comes or not. I swear to god if i have to hear another kid talking about seeing a franco or now watson in butler i’ll…uh probably just do another line of cocaine. but really how bad must your life suck if you actually care about bs celebrities.
Plus radcliffe you idiot, who in their right mind would ever go to Brown
@considering the number of magazines, blogs, and even entire channels devoted to celebrity gossip and goings on, it really shouldn’t be that surprising that people here are interested too. It’s relatively natural.
@people care about celebrities because it allows them to forget about how much their lives suck and fantasize about how they would like to live. Its essentially social masturbation. which i guess is kind of natural but i’d still prefer if you did it in private and not on bwog.
@people perez hilton is usually right about celebrity gossip. furthermore, emma specifically stated she would want privacy on this so that she can be a “normal student”. Dumb harry potter actor leaking that she is going to brown is ONLY misdirection, she def is coming to columbia. Watch the movie Swordfish
@let's ask Stefan Vincenzo. Seems like the kind of thing he’d know.
@wow that was really funny … NOT.
not clever, and very last year.
he’s a nice kid, find someone else to pick on like this is middle school.
@2150 hahhaha funny logo!!
@the comments from perez hilton’s site are hilarious in their stupidity. best one:
“columbia ha??? where would she go? to a tiny unknown miserable village school?!?!?!?!? hellooo???”
@Anonymous cares about where she is going? She’s probably just going to drop out after a semester anyways, and everybody’s assuming that they’ll become best friends with her.
@no, everybody’s assuming that they’ll get a chance to fuck her.
@EW is also speculating she’s going to columbia.
http://www.ew.com/ew/gallery/0,,20246950_20263257_20290736_6,00.html
@Anonymous You can have speculation, or you can rely on actual quotes from Daniel Radcliffe (linked to in the last post about this) or the producer of the films (http://movies.yahoo.com/news/movies.ap.org/potter39-cast-reflects-childhood-hogwarts-ap)
Christ, People, she’s going to Brown. Get over it.
@i don't care where Hermione goes, as long as I can go to Hogwarts.
@Well... the producer of all the HP films said she’s going to Brown. And anyway…she says she just wants to be normal for a while – why would she come to NYC of all places??
@everyone knows college is for ass-clowns
@on the edge of my seat I really can’t take the suspense any more. is this really a contest? New York vs. Rhode Island? Our stunning students vs. those schmucks at Brown?
We can only hope reason will prevail.
@uhh don’t be so high and mighty.
the undergraduate communities at both universities are, for all intensive purposes, equivalent in intellectual capacity.
@That is If you don’t mind the damn dirty liberal hippies
@yes but which university were you referring to?
@rofl don’t you mean “for all intents and purposes”? you must be a brown student ;) don’t be so defensive, i don’t think poster #1 was specifically comparing ‘intellectual capacity’…
@relax, kid I’m pretty sure the post was meant to be lighthearted.
@yeah seriously. Being high and mighty telling people not to be high and mighty. You have the intellectual capacity of a Brown student.
@Uhh “For all intensive purposes”?
That’s “For all intents and purposes.”
I’m fairly certain we have a troll from Brown on Bwog. Why else be so defensive. Let’s burn him at the stake while chanting our fight song.
@wait Since when has Columbia known how to fight? Bitch fights with Barnard non-inclusive.
@how many people actually know our fight song?
