Here we go again with the didn't-need-to-know teenager news; this time the speculation surrounds Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe and the loss of his virginity. In the upcoming October issues of Details, Daniel reveals that he lost his virginity at age 16 to someone much older than him. And instead of leaving it at that, Us Weekly had to go digging.
Though Radcliffe doesn't name-drop, a source says in the new issue of Us Weekly the ex is Amy Byrne, an assistant hairdresser who was 23 when they met on the set of 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. His rep had no comment.
Great work, Us! Hope you feel better now that you have uncovered all the icky details of a teenager's sex life.

Fake wizard Daniel Radcliffe is said to be burning through a pack of cigarettes per day on the set of the sixth Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The 18-year-old Radcliffe is said to have picked up the habit after many late nights spent with old "luvvies" like Kevin Spacey, and, as you can see, the disconnect between the adult act and his kid features make him look even more like a naughty 12-year-old home alone for the first time.

One sign of latent homosexuality is ultra masculine posturing. That is, a gay man may subvert his homosexuality and use a "masculine" profession or frank discussions about bedding women to hide his true sexuality. So, after this, I'm not sayin'…I'm just sayin'.
PS That shirt may blow a hole right through the "ultra masculine posturing" theory.
Jesus, Details. Can we say "overkill"? There's better ways than this to make us understand he's not a kid wizard anymore. Now, not only do we know he's a man, we know he's a man who says tears are a turn-on.
And here we see the origin of child labor laws. In the old days, kids working on no sleep made for missing fingers, today it just makes for terrible press tour photos. Not as bad, to be sure, but still.
More under here.

First Daniel Radcliffe shocked his tweenie fan base by agreeing to appear nude on stage, and now he's gone and shocked his core Harry Potter-iacs by waving a condom around on television in Ricky Gervais' (of the original Office fame) show Extras. The Scoop reports:
Daniel Radcliffe isn’t the squeaky clean boy wizard some “Harry Potter” fans think he is.
The star of the flicks based on the wildly successful fantasy books appeared in an off-color skit, dressed as a Boy Scout, propositioning an older woman (played by Dame Diana Rigg) and playing with a condom.
The skit has been picked up by YouTube, where it’s drawing some outrage, but mostly amusement.
“[Oh my God], when I was watching it was like … I’ve never seen that side of Dan,” exclaimed one fan. “Normally I just see the sweet sort of well-mannered quirky Dan, not THAT!"
So here's the clip in question. And hopefully it won't spread misconceptions on condom use to those few 40-year-old Virgin-y HP fans. Tee hee.

Stop scouring homoerotic Harry Potter fan fiction for just a minute and start planning an early 2007 trip to London, cause you're not gonna want to miss Daniel Radcliffe's nudie booty on stage. Not since last week's Dakota Fanning announcement have pedophiles had so much to celebrate. Wow, those were probably the creepiest sentences I've ever written. I'll, uh, let Reuters tell you the rest:
Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe will strip off for his London stage debut as a psychologically disturbed stable boy in "Equus".
The 17-year-old, currently making the fifth Harry Potter film, will star alongside Richard Griffiths, who plays his grumpy uncle in the wizard sagas.
Radcliffe will play Alan Strang, a stable boy who is interviewed by a psychiatrist after he blinds six horses with a metal spike. In Peter Shaffer's controversial play, the role requires the actor to ride naked on his horse.
"This is an extraordinary play and, yes, there is a scene of nudity in it, but that's not what the play is about," said Radcliffe's publicist Vanessa Davies.
As was pointed out by reader Cieran who sent this story in, Harry looks a bit like a "ventriliquist doll version of himself" or, as I see it, old-timey Dracula in this photo, which makes thinking about his naked teenage body draped over a horse about a billion times more nauseating.
