Tim Burton almost never made Alice In Wonderland

Friday, March 5th, 2010

Alice In Wonderland director Tim Burton said he almost never made the movie.

The filmmaker, who has previously worked on flicks such as Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride, is behind the new movie starring Johnny Depp and Burton’s wife Helena Bonham Carter.

The movie is more of a sequel than a remake and follows Alice’s return to Wonderland when she’s a teenager.

He said: “A few years ago, I don’t know if I would’ve been as intrigued [by the story]. There’s 20-something versions and I’ve never really connected to any of them.”

However, it was the chance to make a 3D version of the tale than finally made him agree to it.

He said: “The way the characters and images have infiltrated culture is so strong, I thought it was an interesting challenge.”

Chynna Phillips Almost Gets Divorce

Friday, March 5th, 2010

As Billy Baldwin was filming ‘Gossip Girl’ last weekend, the actor received some rather alarming news. His wife Chynna Phillips had filed for a divorce. But before he could get too upset over it, the former singer recanted and asked her lawyers to withdraw the divorce filing. According to sources, Chynna is still dealing with some emotional buildup and that the divorce filing was completely rash on her part. The source says that immediately after filing the papers, Chynna “realized she didn’t want to lose Billy and asked her lawyers to withdraw it.” I guess her stint in rehab for anxiety didn’t help at all.
