Actress Helena Bonham Carter shocking childhood story revealed?

[Feb. 25]

Helena Bonham Carter dedicated her Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress to her mother, Elena. Helena Bonham Carter is nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Queen Elizabeth alongside Colin Firth who plays King George VI in The King’s Speech.

But few realize the quiet struggle that Helena Bonham Carter has endured leading up to the nomination for this Sunday’s Oscars. In spite of growing up privileged, Helena struggled through the mental breakdown of her own mother when Helena was just five years old, followed by a stroke that left her father a quadriplegic and blind in one eye eight years later. Meanwhile Bonham Clark suffered years of depression.

Her friends say this legacy haunts the star and led to her living at home until she was 32, reports the Daily Mail. “I was trying to make it better,” Helena says. “I thought: ‘If I remain a child, it will make up for what happened to Dad.'”

Helena became an actress to cope with her father’s illness, the Daily Mail reports. Now, having risen through the ranks to receive a Best Actress Oscar nomination for The Wings of the Dove in 1997, a Golden Globe Best Actress nomination, a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Best Actress nomination, and a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Best Actress nomination, Helena Bonham Carter is at it again with a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination for her performance in The King’s Speech.

“She took me to the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Awards in LA,” Elena Bonham Carter said of Helena. “Now I’m just hoping she can repeat her success at the Oscars.”

Kim Kardashian in big butt celebrity scandal after bad dress choice for Grammy Awards 2011?

[Feb. 18]

Kim Kardashian’s butt almost missed the Grammys 2011. No, it really it didn’t fit in her golden glittery evening dress.

If you were checking out Kim Kardashian at the Grammys Red Carpet, you should be lucky she got her butt there and all in one piece. According to her interview with Ryan Seacrest in the Grammy Red Carpet show on E! the television reality star had an issue with her butt and it didn’t fit into the dress prior to showing up.

It was so ‘unfitting’ that the designer had to be called in and changes had to be made so she could place her backside into the gown and look as sexy as she did. Bragging to US Magazine, it appears she didn’t mind people knew she was too big on the backside for the gown, even though it was previously measured.

“The designers were amazing and they came in and met me and redid the whole thing,” Kim Kardashian told Ryan Seacrest during the live broadcast of the pre-grammys red carpet. Which appeared to be hear fault as she got it previously tailored by someone else.

We are certainly glad all of Kim Kardashian’s assets (say that real slow) arrived at the Grammy’s it had us wondering why she came in the first place as she isn’t nominated, nor does she have a record. If anyone at the Academy heard the snippet of the song released on New Year’s Eve, they would have placed her way in the back of Staple’s Center, away from the cameras.
