NEW YORK (AP) – The world knows him as boy wizard Harry Potter. Now, Daniel Radcliffe wants the world to see him differently.

Next summer, the 17-year-old will take to a London stage in the Tony Award-winning drama “Equus” and will perform nude during one scene, according Newsweek magazine in editions that will hit newsstands Monday.

“Part of me wants to shake up people’s perception of me, just shove me in a blender,” he told the magazine in an exclusive interview on the set of the fifth Harry Potter film, “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.”

“It’s a really challenging play, and if I can pull it off – we don’t know if I can yet – I hope people will stop and think, ‘Maybe he can do something other than Harry,”‘ he said.

In “Equus,” Radcliffe will play a “troubled young man with a religious-erotic obsession with horses,” the magazine reported.

Radcliffe was discovered seven years ago in the audience of a London theater and is known for playing Potter in the blockbuster film series based on J.K. Rowling’s books.

BALTIMORE (AP) – Morgan State University police are considering whether to pursue criminal charges against rapper Lil’ Wayne after someone threw money into a crowd during a performance, causing a melee that left three young women injured.

It was unclear whether Lil’ Wayne or a member of his entourage flung the bills into the crowd, said university Police Chief Adrian Wiggins. The artist will not be invited back to the campus, university officials said.

“It was as dangerous a thing to do as standing in a crowded movie theater and shouting, ‘Fire,”‘ said Clinton Coleman, a Morgan State spokesman.

Coleman said the majority of the cash consisted of $1 bills, but there were some $5, $10 and $20 bills.

Two women, both age 20, suffered leg injuries and were taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital. A third was injured but refused medical treatment.

The concert Thursday night at the university’s Hill Field House, which holds about 4,000 people, also featured Busta Rhymes and was sold out.

Vickie Charles, Lil’ Wayne’s publicist at Universal Music Group, did not respond to messages left by The Baltimore Sun seeking comment.

Lil’ Wayne, whose legal name is Dwayne Michael Carter, was arrested in August on drug possession charges in Atlanta. He was nominated recently for three BET music awards.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – A music publishing company says a 59-year-old notebook that once belonged to the late country singer Hank Williams and is now in the hands of two collectors had been stolen from its offices.

Sony/ATV Music Publishing officials say they learned it was missing only after a Chicago Sun-Times article detailed how the collectors acquired the notebook, which contains lyrics to several unpublished Williams songs and has a value as high as $250,000.

The company filed a stolen property report with police on Sept. 20.

Stephen Shutts and Robert Reynolds said they acquired the notebook this past summer after being contacted by an older Nashville-area woman last November.

The two men run the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame, a traveling exhibit that includes among its 1,750 items a pair of Elvis’ white underwear, circa 1970.

Neither man is suspected of any role in a possible theft, though it’s unclear if they might face penalties for possession of stolen property. The notebook remains in their possession.

Sony/ATV President and CEO Troy Tomlinson said the company was taking the matter very seriously.

The notebook is a known artifact among Music Row historians, containing roughed-out song lyrics to about 20 unpublished songs and various musings written by Williams between May 2, 1947 and 1949.

Williams was a star in the late 1940s and early 1950s with hits like “Your Cheatin’ Heart” and “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry.” He died in 1953.

Police spokesman Don Aaron said an investigation is under way.
