IGN (via The Hollywood Reporter) reports that Helena Bonham Carter will be joining partner-director Tim Burton in his adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. She is tapped to play the Red Queen, who deposed and banished her sister, the White Queen who is portrayed by Anne Hathaway. They join the cast which include Johnny Depp.
Also, Derek Blasberg of Vogue blogged about her chance meeting with Emma Watson while she was attending the Paris Fashion Week. She was able to talk to Emma, who revealed that she maybe planning a trip to the East Coast (USA) to look at universities. Here is what she said:
The sweetest person I’ve met this Paris fashion week has been Emma Watson, the 18-year-old British actress making her first trek to the Parisian collections. “I’ve been to fashion shows before, like the Chanel show that was in London in December,” she told me. “But this is the first time I’ve been to shows like this. This is my first time at fashion week, and let me tell you, it’s pretty intense.” She’s made a pretty good first run: spending a few hours actually looking at the pictures at Patrick Demarchelier’s exhibit at the Petit Palais (how novel) on Tuesday night, attending Sonia Rykiel’s anniversary fashion show and party (”That was amazing!”), and going to a handful of the big fashion shows, like Giambattista Valli (”I don’t even know where to begin”) and Chanel (”Now, that was a big deal”). But Watson’s got her sights on something beyond mere fashion: After her time in Paris, she’s planning a trip to the East Coast to look at universities.
