Emma Watson Kissing Johnny Simmons

“Harry Potter” star Emma Watson has been spotted kissing Hollywood hunk Johnny Simmons.

Emma Watson, the British actress who plays Hermione Granger in the recently completed “Harry Potter” movie franchise, looks very much loved up with Johnny Simmons. He is her co-star in her upcoming movie “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.”

Watson is certainly no wallflower! The pair were snapped kissing passionately, out in public in Santa Monica over the weekend.

Wearing a patchwork maxi shirt and figure hugging black camisole under a casual summer cardigan, Watson got up close and personal with the actor. Then the two of them lunched together. Their tender kiss was shared right outside the restaurant.

Who started the kiss? Emma Watson did! Onlookers report that she reached up her face to kiss Johnny Simmons and he gazed at her in adoration, before pulling her in to a tender embrace, their hands on each others’ waists.

Emma Watson and Johnny Simmons were first identified as a couple in May, when they were seen walking through a park in Pittsburgh together. At the time they strongly denied that they were in a relationship together. Watson’s agent even dismissed speculation as “complete fiction.”

But either they were lying, or things have moved on a lot since May, because Emma and Johnny looked very much a couple in Santa Monica this weekend.

Simmons, who co-starred with Megan Fox in the 2009 flick “Jennifer’s Body,” is Watson’s first boyfriend since she split with “One Night Only” singer George Craig last year.

You will have to wait until next year to see Emma Watson and Johnny Simmons on screen together in “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” The movie, based on the novel by Stephen Chbosky, about freshman Charlie’s introduction to sex and drugs, is scheduled for release in 2012.

But for now, we have the kiss!

Harry Potter's Emma Watson to star in new Beauty and the Beast

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II has only been out for a few days (and has already amassed more than half a billion dollars worldwide), but Emma Watson has reportedly lined up her next film gig already. The 21-year-old actress will star in a film adaptation of Beauty and the Beast,

Few other details are known about the project, but don’t expect some cheesy teen rom com in the vein of Beastly (sorry, Vanessa Hudgens!); this new adaptation is set to be directed by Guillermo Del Toro, who has a flair for the dark and twisted (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy). With any luck, Watson’s “Beauty” will be less of a pushover than in other versions of the story — especially since the actress has previously indicated that she prefers to portray strong women.

"I feel like young girls are told they have to be this kind of princess and be all this sweet stuff. It’s all bulls**t,” Watson told UK paper the Sun last week. "I identify with more of being a warrior princess, so if I had to be a princess, I'd have to kick some ass first. That would have a lot of people terrified."

Aside from promoting the final Harry Potter film and lining up her next gig, Watson’s also got the rest of her academic career to think about. She told People this week that she’ll spend the next school year at Oxford University.

"I'm still a student at Brown,” Watson said. "It's just that I'll spend my third year abroad -- at Oxford. Then I'll return to Brown to complete my last year."
