Emma Watson: Why gender equality isn't just about women

Emma Watson wants to know: "What are you doing to advance gender equality?"

The British actress will be discussing gender equality before a select audience in London, March 8, to celebrate International Women's Day.

The Harry Potter star is holding the special Q&A as part of the U.N. Women's HeForShecampaign for gender equality.

She invited fans to describe in 500 words or less, how they're advancing gender equality, for a chance to attend the event in person.

Those missing out on a place, can still watch it live on Watson's Facebook page.

The event follows her impassioned speech at the U.N. headquarters in New York last year, where the 24-year-old described her personal feminist journey.

She called for all men to "take up this mantle so that their daughters, sisters, and mothers can be free from prejudice," at the HeForShe launch in September.

"Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. Both men and women should feel free to be strong. It is time that we all perceive gender on a spectrum, instead of two sets of opposing ideals," said the U.N. Women Goodwill Ambassador.

Almost 230,000 men and boys across the world have since joined the campaign, including U.S. President Barack Obama, and actors Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Matt Damon.

Watson's open letter to Foxcatcher star Steve Carell, applauding him for wearing HeForShe cufflinks at the Oscars last month, also attracted huge coverage across social media.

After Conquering Reality TV, Kim Kardashian Is Taking the Mobile World by Storm

Kim Kardashian reveals the details of her popular game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. Styling: Charlene Rox Borough; Hair: Michael Silva/The Wall Group; Makeup: Rob Scheppy/Cloutier Remix; Set Design: Dane Johnson

Kim Kardashian West first grabbed our attention in October 2007 with the premiere of E!'s Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Who could have guessed where that basic-cable reality show moment would lead? Since then, Kim, 34, has entered that rare pantheon of mononymous celebrities. Like Madonna and Oprah, Pelé and Plato, it's just Kim—global trendsetter, designer, model, actress, celebrity endorser, magazine cover queen, tabloid leading lady, social media pioneer, famous wife (twice), famous mom (and sister and daughter)—and now, a superstar in the tech world.

Coming off her dual high-octane covers of Vogue and Paper in 2014 and a buzzy T-Mobile ad in this year's Super Bowl, she is now looking to build on the success of her huge mobile game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, which raked in more than $74 million last year and which Adweek selected as the year's Hottest Mobile Game in our annual Hot List. (The New York Post reported last week that the game is on track to bring in another $200 million this year, with Kim getting an $85 million cut.)

Earlier this month, the most famous woman in the universe spoke to (and posed for!) us, and here she reveals how her hit game came about (and how she plans to make it even bigger), her further aspirations in the tech space, why she's so unapologetically obsessed with Twitter and Instagram, and what is ahead for the 10th season of a TV show that gave the world a megabrand called Kardashian. 

Adweek: Where did the idea for Kim Kardashian: Hollywood come from?
I had just had the baby [North West], and so I was being really choosy about what I was working on. I got a call from the company Glu Mobile to partner up and do a video game. I asked my husband [Kanye West], "What do you think of this? What would the concept be?" And he was like, "Oh my God, you have to do a video game? It's so cool."

So, we went back and we came up with this really cute concept that I thought was relatable and very much like me. It had to be something that fit my personality.
