On Friday the woman who narrated the Domino's booger video that made national headlines plead guilty and received sentencing.

The video shot in April 2009 showed her and a fellow male worker doing disgusting things to the food in the kitchen. The guy stuffed cheese up his nose before he put it on a sandwich, farting on a piece of salami, and sneezing on cheese sticks, and then disguising the boogers underneath the cheese and boxing it up.

The two workers testified that no customers ever actually ate the food.

The woman plead guilty to "Distribution of certain food at Halloween and all other times prohibited," a lesser charge than the felony food adulteration charge she was first hit with. The statute makes it unlawful to "...cause to be placed in a position of human accessibility, any food or eatable substance which that person knows to contain: (1) Any noxious or deleterious substance, material or article which might be injurious to a person's health or might cause a person any physical discomfort..."

The charge carries a max 120-day suspended sentence, but the judge gave her 45 days and 18 months probation. While on probation she can't work in any kind of restaurant or food or drink serving establishment. She also has to do 200 hours of community service.

She was also told not to talk about the incident to anyone else and is forbidden from making any money off any interviews having to do with it.

Before sentencing her, the judge told the woman, "The scary thing is this goes on in other places that you don't know about, and it makes you wonder what you're getting."

Emma Watson was a guest on the Late Show last night. She was cute and charming as usual, and you could tell that she was a little nervous but she powered through it and did a great job. It wasn’t her first stint on Letterman and she did as nice a job in her last appearance as well. Emma told some cute stories about her experiences as a coed in America, where she’s had some problems being understood by her classmates. She was wearing a form fitting black and red sequin dress that was just the right length. Someone commented that this is the dress she should have worn to the premiere, and I agree, it was much better than her satin sheath.

On her pixie cut

Most women get their hair cut when they’re going through a breakup, and I was going through the Harry Potter breakup and it was time for a new look.

On if she made a lot of money

Nothing really worth mentioning, no big deal… they totally ripped me off.

On her issues communicating at college

I didn’t realize just how big the culture gap is… Day to day there are things I am unable to communicate. I really needed what I would call a ‘plaster’… I was bleeding quite heavily. I was running around saying ‘I need a plaster…’ It took five or six minutes to work out that what I needed was a band aid.

Dave - That says something about American kids, they know you’re bleeding and they can’t put two and two together.

Emma - The most embarrassing one is that I had no idea, and please excuse me, that you guys call [lower voice] a condom a rubber. My version of a rubber is like an eraser, so I’ve done that, I’ve very loudly asked for a rubber… that was embarrassing.

On if the kids bug her at school because she’s famous

They’re all too cool for that.

When I was in college I dated a British guy and once went back with him to England for a couple a weeks. I was just getting the hang of the local vernacular when I tried to use it out by telling some of his friends that we had to leave a club because I was having a “snog.” I meant to say that I was having a “strop,” which means you’re grumpy, but got it confused with a similar word I’d just learned ,”snog,” which is slang for a kiss. So they all thought for a moment that I was making out with someone else at the bar and got busted by my boyfriend. Now I’m married to someone that speaks an entirely different language and am often making (what I consider minor) pronunciation errors that can make average words sound very dirty. That snog/strop thing can’t compare to me trying to say “follow” (folgen) and ending up saying “f*cking” (vögeln) instead. So I pretty much try not to use the German word for follow - or for humid, but that’s another story. Damn umlauts.

You can watch Emma’s entire Letterman appearance on YouTube (it won’t embed here.) She tells the rubber story at 4:50 and does an American accent at 6:40. A clip from Deathly Hallows is at 8:30. It looks better than earlier clips I’ve seen. I lost my passion for HP after the Half Blood Prince, but I’ll probably see this one.
