Going to the gym can be as intimidating as the first day of school, especially if you're not already in shape. To fight that feeling, contemporary athletic companies like Planet Fitness advertise workout areas without judgement. Others like Downsize, in Chicago and Fort Worth, mandate that clients must be 50 pounds… » 1/20/14 6:15pm 1/20/14 6:15pm

Umm... who's watching Burton and Taylor tonight? The 90-minute drama about the lives of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton starring Dominic West and Helena Bonham Carter premieres on BBC America tonight at 9/8c. It's apparently several steps above — okay, about five million steps above — the tragic Lohan version. » 10/16/13 9:15pm 10/16/13 9:15pm

Specifically, Helena Bonham Carter and Dominic West. Fun! Although the BBC tends to be a little bit more understated than, um, Lifetime, it still seems to have some camp to it. Which is only appropriate, considering White Diamonds-era Liz was camp personified. AND, as Vulture points out, like the Lindz version,… » 7/06/13 4:30pm 7/06/13 4:30pm

Helena Bonham Carter — or, as Brad Pitt calls her on the Fight Club DVD commentary (which, just FYI, is WAY more entertaining than the actual movie), "the HBC" — has finally admitted that she's been living a lie — she cannot appear in major motion pictures AND raise Tim Burton's nightmare spawn, which means that the… » 1/27/13 11:00am 1/27/13 11:00am

Poor troubled Terminator 3 actor Nick Stahl now has a glossy senior picture in the Paul Reubens Academy Yearbook: Stahl was arrested around dinnertime last night for jerking off in the private booth of a porn store in Hollywood. The LAPD booked him for a misdemeanor (lewd conduct) and he was released a few hours… » 12/28/12 9:00am 12/28/12 9:00am

Here's a family portrait of Tim Burton, Helena Bonham-Carter and their two children at Disneyland Paris. Do you think Jack and Sally are the godparents? » 11/02/12 7:31pm 11/02/12 7:31pm

But the night sort of always does, doesn't it? Queen Helena Bonham Carter Of Darkness and Fingerless Gloves turned 48 today. Let's celebrate Ms. Burton with this clip, which is extraordinary for a) featuring the Pixies and b) being one of the most romantic endings to any movie in 1999. Man, who doesn't still kind of… » 5/26/12 11:15pm 5/26/12 11:15pm

We're not even one day into the new year and already dreams are being crushed: Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes spent last night partying in New York together. They flew in from LA on Friday and tried to stay low-profile by boarding the flight at separate times, but, yeah, like that's going to make any difference. And now… » 1/01/12 11:00am 1/01/12 11:00am

Mike Newell - who directed Enchanted April, Four Weddings and A Funeral and Donnie Brasco, among others — is currently working on a version of Great Expectations, with Helena Bonham Carter playing Miss Havisham. Mighty fine casting. Deadline reports: » 11/04/11 11:40am 11/04/11 11:40am

Very, very, very good indeed.

This is what Helena Bonham-Carter thought of last night's QVC Red Carpet Style party. It's unclear whether HBC made this face on purpose or whether she just ate something weird-tasting, but I kind of hope she is just expressing her personal opinion of red-carpet bullshit. Or QVC. » 2/26/11 5:30pm 2/26/11 5:30pm

[Someone ought to do an hour special which takes place inside of HBiC's closet. Imagine the coats, dresses, hats, shoes! If you see Anderson Cooper live from HBoC's attic on 60 Minutes, just know that he stole that idea from me. London, February 14. Image via Bauer-Griffin.] » 2/15/11 11:08am 2/15/11 11:08am

As seen on page 8 of the new issue of Life & Style, Freida Pinto is a ghost! Or Helena Bonham Carter's elbow is a deadly weapon. Or someone made a grave Photoshop/production error. Previously, sister publication In Touch amputated the arm of Heidi Klum's daughter. That was also sad. But honestly, we would not be… » 2/10/11 11:22am 2/10/11 11:22am

• Anne Hathaway is working with her regular stylist, Rachel Zoe, for the Oscars. How much is Zoe charging to outfit host Hathaway through a zillion changes? No figure is named, unfortunately, but according to "sources" Zoe's fee is "astronomical." [THR]

"Perfection on the half-shell" is one of my mom's many weird proprietary expressions. But sometimes, it's really apropos. And the red-carpet for the Academy Awards Nominations Luncheon was one such occasion. » 2/08/11 10:30am 2/08/11 10:30am
