Helena Bonham Carter on King’s Speech, Fight Club and Why She Doesn’t Belong to Tim Burton

Considering the intense security I had to wade my way through recently to visit Helena Bonham Carter at her Manhattan hotel, for a few moments it actually did feel like I might be visiting the Queen of England. (As it turned out, it was just the Israeli Prime Minister’s security detail.) Alas, no — just screen royalty, as proven in her latest effort, The King’s Speech .

Jethro Tull, New Vaudeville Band and Katy Perry: A Historical Tribute to the Worthlessness of the Grammys

On Wednesday night CBS aired the Grammy nominations in the form of a big concert, but the music died sometime in the first hour: Katy Perry earned an Album of the Year nomination, Glee garnered one for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals (come on ), and typically tepid Grammy bait like Lady Antebellum picked up six noms. While the Grammys are supposed to represent music’s biggest night on television, the ceremony remains what it has always been: a valentine to the recording industry, where popularity and obligation supersede quality. We’ve lined up our favorite reasons to loathe the Grammys (which is saying a lot coming from award-show junkies like us), and we hope you’re dragging the needle onto your prized Jethro Tull LP as you read along.

Tony Parker: Not Blindsided By Eva Longoria Divorce

Tony Parker, whose marriage crumbled amid a relationship with Erin Barry , says he was not blindsided when wife Eva Longoria filed for divorce this week. “Eva and I have been discussing our situation privately,” Parker told People magazine. “I was aware that she would be filing for divorce in Los Angeles.” Parker also denied a report – since retracted – that he went to court first, only to have Eva convince him not to, at which point she filed out of revenge . Tony and Eva split amid reports of him sexting Erin Barry . “I did not file for divorce in Texas and did not hire attorneys in either California or Texas,” Parker says . “We plan to continue to keep discussions of this private.” Good luck with that. When you have an affair with a teammate’s wife – although sources close to Tony say there was only sexting and no actual sex involved – stories spiral out of control. Erin Barry, whose husband Brent played with Tony on the San Antonio Spurs from 2004-08, is in the process of divorcing him as well. What a bizarre, sad story.
