It's A..... Girl!

No, not for me, sillies (although I wish!) Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton recently welcomed their second child, a girl. Yep, I'm one of those people who likes to follow the lives of celebrities. Not because I'm obsessed with them, but because their actions often provide good blog fodder (Britney Spears, anyone?)

But I really like Helena Bonham Carter, because I think she's a perfect example of how a woman can be strong, intelligent, capable.... and still a very feminine, very beautiful individual. I've loved her in almost everything I've seen her in, and I can't wait for Sweeney Todd to come out. Of course, I also adore Johnny Depp, who I firmly believe is one of the best actors ever, and with Alan Rickman and Sacha Baron Cohen, how can the movie be anything but a success?

Speaking of Bonham Carter, that reminds me. I also need to check out her portrayal of Anne Boleyn, my all-time favorite historical person ever, in the 2003 made-for-TV movie Henry VIII. I would imagine that she would portray the part wonderfully. After all, she has all the right traits: striking beauty, fiery temper, and an aura of intelligence. Hmmm, I guess I know now what my plans will include over Christmas break: Sweeney Todd and Henry VIII. Quite the entertaining (and, at times, bloody) combo, wouldn't you say?

Oh yeah, I think I saw Room with a View mentioned on IMDB. I also need to check that out!

I'm sooo glad I'm taking a whole week and a half off work to go home for Christmas; I'll have plenty of time to have a Helena Bonham Carter marathon :) Did you ever see Conversations with Other Women, with Bonham Carter and Aaron Eckhart? It was really good, kind of a different approach to filming it (they used split screen), but I really enjoyed it. It was such a twist at the end. I loved it!
