Aug 24 2009Helena Bonham Carter in a swimsuit. (I'm sorry.)


Proving that Goth chicks should stick to reading Twilight at Denny's, Helena Bonham Carter was spotted at Malibu Beach over the weekend wearing a swimsuit, and I honestly don't know why I'm posting these. Seriously, I've only had ten five coffee mugs of whiskey today, so it's not like I'm drunk. Back me up, desk chair I dressed up like Wonder Woman. What's that? You want to have a baby? But we just met.

Dec 17 2007Helena Bonham Carter has a baby girl

Helena Bonham Carter gave birth to a baby girl late Saturday evening in London. This is the second child for Helena and her husband director Tim Burton. They chose not to learn the sex of the baby prior to delivery because regardless it was getting an Edward Scissorhands-themed nursery anyway. The two also received Golden Globe nominations for their work in Sweeney Todd which they learned about while at the doctor’s office, according to People:

"We were talking about inducing, and Tim got a call from his assistant," Bonham Carter told PEOPLE before the birth. "I do look like a globe, so it's kind of funny. I am very round."

Helena’s unborn child had the privilege of hearing her mother learn how to sing for the film:

"Maybe the baby's going to come out with his hands on his ears. 'Shut up!' " she laughed.

Or, I dunno, maybe the baby’s going to come out, see her parents, and say, “Yeesh! Check out you two. I’m addicted to opium already, aren’t I? Damn it all…”

Dec 4 2007Helena Bonham Carter understands cinema


Helena Bonham Carter is extremely concerned with continuity while filming and such was the case with her latest film Sweeney Todd. It appears something was causing headaches on set; her crazy large boobs. Page Six reports:

"Anyone who . . . pays attention to my breast size will see there's no continuity," she tells January's Playboy. "The first half of filming I wasn't pregnant, and the second half I was, and because we didn't shoot it in order, I start off with huge breasts and then I walk upstairs and suddenly I've got tangerines again. It's melons to tangerines."

What I love about this article is that Helena Bonham Carter is cutting straight through the bullshit as only a pregnant woman can. While everyone talks about the music and Johnny Depp, Helena gets down to brass tacks and says, “Look, if you watch this movie all you’ll notice is my monster rack. As an artist, I’d like to apologize for some inconsistencies in my chest size and hope that you don’t let it distract from my milk-gorged breasts, which again, is all you’ll notice.” Sold. I just bought a week’s worth of tickets. Wait, it’s not in 3-D?! Tim Burton, I’ll kill you!

Nov 29 2007Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton are precious

A very pregnant Helena Bonham Carter was spotted last night leaving Cipriani in London with her husband director Tim Burton. They look like street urchins that made a heroin-fueled escape from a production of Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol.” Helena Bonham Carter seems to be amazed there’s a ground beneath her feet. While Tim Burton’s deep inside his brain trying to decide which is more awesome: stop-motion animation or Johnny Depp. Whichever one wins will be the kid's name. Unless they go with "Gothy McGothicstein."
