Forbes Again Names Jo Rowling Billionairess

Though J.K. Rowling said to Katie Couric this July that she is no such thing, magazine Forbes has again place Jo Rowling on its list of the World's Richest People, as a billionaire (which is more likely to be true in dollars than pounds). The short article says that 60 million Harry Potter books sold worldwide last year, and that a source says that book seven will be out in 2007, which we remind everyone to take with a big grain of salt. It's probably likely, but Jo has not yet said anything about the book except that she expects to write it this year and that it's already getting longer

than she planned.

Biggerstaff Returns for Full-Length Cashback

After Sean Biggerstaff's short film, Cashback was nominated for an Academy Award, the makers have decided to expand the film into a full-length feature. Writer-director Sean-Ellis and producer Lene Bausager will turn the film from a 19-minute "supermarket dramedy" to a full-length film, using the entire ensemble cast, including former Harry Potter actor Sean Biggerstaff.

You can see the original short film by downloading it here, from iTunes. Parents should note this film is labeled "explicit" and contains nudity.
