Is Emma Watson dating this famous singer's brother? Plus, more news

Is Emma Watson dating Alicia Keys' brother?

Emma Watson may have a new man in her life — and he's none other than Alicia Keys' brother, Cole Cook. Emma, 29, joined Cole, 28, at The Spotted Pig in New York City on Tuesday, May 21, and the two looked more than a little comfy as they chatted, laughed and enjoyed the spring air after dinner, according to the Daily Mail. A former audio engineer who dabbled in modeling for RED, Cole is the co-founder of a small creative agency called Timeless Eye, which bills itself as a platform for bridging "the gap between brands and consumers through immersive digital storytelling." Cole works regularly with his brother-in-law, Swizz Beatz, and other members of his musical family (he and Alicia share the same dad). If Emma and Cole are more than friends, the relationship is a bit of a departure from her last romantic interest, Brendan Wallace, a Princeton MBA grad with a background in investment banking and real estate private equity. Cole also happens to be pretty easy on the eyes …

George and Amal Clooney facing 'real security issues' as Amal brings charges against ISIS

Amal Clooney is currently bringing charges against Islamic State extremists in French courts as part of her ongoing fight against what she's called a global "epidemic of sexual violence." Back in New York City, her husband, George Clooney, has said the case is already affecting their family. "My wife is taking the first case against ISIS to court, so we have plenty of issues – real, proper security issues – that we have to deal with on a fairly daily basis," the "Catch-22" star said on THR's "Awards Chatter" podcast this week, according to USA Today. "We don't really want our kids to be targets, so we have to pay attention to that," he added, referring to the couple's 1-year-old twins, Ella and Alexander. Not that he was complaining. "[I live] a pretty good life," he said. "I have a beautiful wife and two beautiful kids. … [but] there are things you miss. I miss being able to walk with our kids in Central Park." Amal's case is tied to testimony she successfully gave before the U.N. Security Council last month in which she asked the council to prosecute extremists for rape, given Human Rights Watch's finding that ISIS operated a "system of organized rape and sexual assault, sexual slavery, and forced marriage" after occupying parts of Iraq and Syria.

Jimmy's Fallon's 'Tonight Show' reportedly suffering behind the scenes amid poor ratings

Things are reportedly getting messy behind the scenes at "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon." That's according to Page Six, which reports there have been some key staff changes and lots of disagreements about how to recover from tanking ratings that were revealed this week to have left Fallon trailing behind Stephen Colbert for a full season. The major difference in tone between the late-night shows — Fallon keeps things light and goofy, while Colbert is often fearless while still managing to be funny in the political conversations he has with guests — seems to be working in Colbert's favor. Fallon recently brought in former "Today" showrunner Jim Bell, reportedly to help "inject some topical heat" into "The Tonight Show," but ratings remain poor, according to the tab. Meanwhile, Bell is rumored to be bickering with executive producer Lorne Michaels, who brought Fallon on board after the pair worked together on "SNL." Page Six's sources claim Bell wants Fallon "to reinvent himself" and feels Michaels' approach with the comic leaves the show "stuck in the past." An NBC rep had only positive things to say about the show's current direction under Bell's guidance: " We are excited for some new elements coming this summer and fall. Jimmy continues to share signature segments like slow jam the news, most recently with Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg." There's also said to be some confusion about Bell's role vs. Michaels' post. Reports Fallon's veteran producer Katie Hockmeyer is out don't make prospects look much better. (While a source said she "no longer works at" the show, an NBC exec said "Katie is still an employee," indicating she has a new role. Another longtime showrunner, Mike DiCenzo, recently quit, as well. The report from Page Six implies Fallon may also still be suffering from the effects of his notorious Donald Trump "hair ruffling" interview. Colbert took over David Letterman's "The Late Show" at CBS in 2015, a year after Fallon became the new host of "Tonight." The hosts, by the way, are reportedly friends.

Sophie Turner confuses fans with new bangs, shag cut

Maybe we haven't shaken her Sansa Stark color from our brains yet but Sophie Turner's hair is giving us whiplash. The newly married actress went back to blonde after wrapping "Game of Thrones," but Allure noticed that this week, hairstylist Christian Wood shared a photo that showed Sophie coiffed in long, '60s-style bangs.

Before things got serious, however, they chatted about their respective rise-to-fame situations. that's when Emilia shared an anecdote about, as she put it "the most ridiculous experience of my entire existence." Said Emilia: "I was at a gala event where I'd been asked to auction something, so I was like, 'I don't know, come watch your favorite [Game of Thrones] episode with me and we'll eat a horse's heart or something,'" she recalled. "I don't think about what it is until I get there and then I'm sitting in a room with, like, every celebrity on the planet. And I thought it would be a private thing where they wouldn't say [the item] out loud, but then I have to stand up and it turns into a thing. The room goes completely silent and I'm going to die and then one of my friends puts his paddle up. Suddenly, some other people start to put their paddles up and one of those people was Brad Pitt." Emilia's peers all "oooh-ed" as Emilia admitted her friend ended up winning — but not before Patricia noted, "I was there, and there was a lot of back-and-forth."
