"nothing very interesting happens in well-lighted places."

"boobies, boobies, boobies. nothin' but boobies. who needs 'em?"

Leave it to Jezebel to post this photo of Helena Bonham Carter under the title "Helena Bonham Carter is a hot mess." Granted, she's not looking as striking as normal (certainly not the goth guy's wet dream that she was in Sweeney Todd), but give her a break. She just gave birth, like, a month ago. Now, I'm admittedly quick to jump to HBC's defense. I am one of the few who bucked the naysayers and wholly embraced her heartbreaking turn in Sweeney. Sure, she can't sing, but she embodies Mrs. Lovett's lovelorn desperation with grace and depth. Add that to stirring turns in The Wings of the Dove, Howards End and Fight Club and she's above the average snark monger's petty fashion criticism.

That's all.
