Dead babies and slime, sounds like one heck of a Christmastime

Some people opt for tinsel and those colourful ornament balls that always break when decorating their Christmas trees, others opt for dead babies and slime. Helena Bonham Carter told Playboy her director (and possibly disturbed) beau, Tim Burton, doesn’t go for conventional Christmas decorations and prefers a merrier macabre approach. "He decorates it with dead babies and slime balls and things," the actress told Playboy magazine. "It looks lovely and glittery from afar, and then as you get closer, you realize it's rather gory." Burton’s morbid décor is shrugged off by Bonham Carter who seems to liken her partner to Peter Pan. "We're not that dark,” she insists. “What I love about Tim is that he retains a certain innocence and a childlike quality. He sort of forgot to grow up. I think I've definitely forgotten to grow up, which is great." Except, any child who decorated their tree with dead babies would prob be spending most of his time hopped up on Ritalin and on a pysch couch rather than behind a camera.

Bonham's boobs

Some may go see the upcoming film Sweeney Todd for the quirky macabre musical story, others for the chance to stare at Johnny Depp for two hours, and others may be going to get carte blanche to oogle Helena Bonham Carter’s cleavage for two hours… this time with an excuse. The actress was purportedly pregnant during part of the filming, and since the movie was shot out of sequence, her boobs seemingly expand and contract. "Anyone who... pays attention to my breast size will see there's no continuity," she told Playboy magazine, the New York Post’s Page Six reported. "I start off with huge breasts and then I walk upstairs and suddenly I've got tangerines again. It's melons to tangerines." As if people needed an excuse to stare at her breasts.
