Exclusive Scoop: Emma Roberts Spills Tea on Her Hamptons Obsession and Shares Juicy Gossip!

TheScholarlyNote.com has got the inside scoop on Emma Roberts' Hamptons obsession! The Scream Queens alumna, 34, has been spotted soaking up the sun in the luxurious seaside town for years, and we've got the tea on her favorite spots, secret hobbies, and what really goes down behind those iconic Hamptons gates.

In a bombshell interview with Modern Luxury, Emma revealed that she's been coming to the Hamptons "all the time" since her mom Kelly Cunningham moved there 15 years ago. And let's just say, it's not your average vacation spot! The actress compared the off-season vibes to Stephen King's horror classic, The Shining - yikes!

But when summer rolls around, Emma is all about embracing that Hamptons magic. She confessed, "It's like summer all year now... I've fallen more and more in love with it as the years have gone on - especially after having my son." And speaking of her little one, Rhodes (4) is always by her side during those Hamptons getaways!

As we know, Emma's a self-proclaimed bookworm, and she's been spotted reading away at Sagg Main Beach. In fact, she's such a fan of the spot that she claims it's her "routine in the summer" - a little beach time with a good book, some quality mom-son bonding, and, of course, plenty of sunshine!

But what really has us hooked is Emma's take on the Hamptons' unique community vibe. She raved, "It just feels more like a community way of life out here... It makes me want to read more, makes me want to cook more!" We can totally see why this Hollywood starlet would fall head over heels for that kind of laid-back, small-town charm!

Now, let's get to the juicy gossip! Emma dished about her secret hobby - we won't spill the beans just yet, but trust us when we say it's a wild ride! And did you know she's got not one, but TWO projects in the works with none other than Kim Kardashian? Yep, those two are cooking up something special for Netflix, and we can't wait to see what they've got brewing!

As Emma puts it best, "I think it's really important to have a life outside of work... I try to give my personal life as much love as my work life." And with her busy schedule, that's no easy feat! But hey, when you're an actress, mom, and entrepreneur extraordinaire, you've got to make time for self-care - or in Emma's case, bath and bed routines with Rhodes!

So, there you have it - the inside scoop on Emma Roberts' Hamptons obsession, secret hobbies, and what really goes down behind those iconic gates. Stay tuned for more exclusive updates from TheScholarlyNote.com!

'Fifteen years ago, in the winter, it was like The Shining sometimes out here,' the actress told the outlet; Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd pictured in The Shining

'I love Sagg Main Beach. It's kind of my routine in the summer ¿ I'll take my son to camp and bring my book with me to the beach and just sit by myself for an hour. There's nothing like it,' Emma said

Aside from enjoying the summer weather in the Hamptons, the beauty also has a number of projects up her sleeve, including the upcoming romantic comedy Marriage Material which is also starring comedian Matt Rife, per Variety; seen in June in NYC

'Getting to work with Kim was so much fun because we passed each other growing up in Calabasas together,' Emma told Modern Luxury; the pair seen above in American Horror Story

'I think it's really important to have a life outside of work - to read things and have experiences that aren't work related. I think this actually makes the work better when you pick it back up again,' she said
