Considering that all these 'news' source are quoting
a very unreliable tabloid, I consider it with a grain
of salt. Either Emma will sign or she won't, and despite
my disappointment, I will support her in whatever 
decision she makes. I am not so selfish that I only
consider how this affects me. If she is willing to 
pass up several million dollars, then this must be
very serious issue for her. If she decides not to do
it, then I think we can all be sure she considered it
very very very carefully, and came to a decision as to
what was best for her. 

As to Rupert's alledged comments, it would seem that 
Rupert would be smart enough not to talk openly to one 
of the most notoroius tabloid in the world. I'm guessing
they took bits and pieces of existing interviews or
other second hand information and twisted them into a 
headline grabbing story, or non-story as I prefer to 
think of it.

All of the main characters have said they don't hang out
after the movie is finished, so that is nothing new.
Rupert said, and it is presented without context, that
'they are distant from each other', and that is also
true. They don't live in the same areas of England. So,
really there is nothing new here except a tabloids 
effort to create a story out of a few twisted bit of 
information presented without context.

When a reputable news source presents a story that 
doesn't make reference to a tabloid, and actually
presents official information in a proper context then
I will be concerned. Until then, that particular tabloid
hasn't said anything we didn't already know.

Just passing it a long.
