To prepare for writer-director Sofia Coppola's drama (release date TBD) about the real-life, fame-obsessed thieves who allegedly stole from the homes of celebs like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and The Hills' Audrina Patridge, Emma Watson (center) turned to the best resource imaginable.
''I just watched a ton of reality TV,'' she says. ''I was doing an English course [at Brown University]. So I would go from reading Virginia Woolf to [watching] Kim Kardashian. I kind of loved it, this mix of super-high and super-low culture. I think it was a nice balance.''
