Rupert Grint survived swine flu to play Harry Potter’s sidekick another day, but he didn’t think he would, reports AFP. “It was quite scary when I first found out I had swine flu,” he says. “I thought: ‘Am I going to die?’ But it was just like any other flu really.” Elsewhere:
- Jenna Fischer, aka Pam from The Office, is engaged, Us reports. Fischer, who has been married once before, has been dating writer Lee Kirk since January 2008.
- Anna Kournikova might also be engaged to longtime beau Enrique Iglesias, judging from the diamond on her left ring finger at a recent match. Asked about it by the AP, Kournikova would only say, “I thought you were the good press.”
- Variety reports that the big-screen adaptation of Baywatch will be a comedy, with Jeremy Garelick recently brought on to do a rewrite. Meanwhile, Dreamworks is planning to bring the classic View-Master toy to the big screen in some way, possibly as a 3-D film.
