We've said it before once or twice, but this time we mean it: Love. Is. Fucking. Dead.

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.

Which is only appropriate, considering White Diamonds-era Liz was camp personified. AND, as Vulture points out, like the Lindz version,…

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…

Last night Real Live Movie Stars™ hit the red carpet at the Odeon Leicester Square in London, for the world premiere of Lay Miz. 'Twas a black tie affair, which means there were tuxedoes, but also: Weird bustlines, bare shoulders and crumpled taffeta.
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?

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.

The BAFTA Britannia Awards were held in Los Angeles last night. (As an aside: Is there also like an American Academy of Film and Television Arts Americana Awards ceremony that is held once a year in London? No.) Helen Mirren AND Helena Bonham Carter showed up, and we are pleased.
