Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter — First Picture?
Here is your first look at Johnny Depp as Alice in Wonderland’s The Mad Hatter.
Or is it? A Photoshop creation, perhaps?
In any event, the 3D flick will use a mix of live action and performance capture CGI. It will be directed by Tim Burton, who first teamed up with Depp for the 1990’s film Edward Scissorhands.
Depp will appear alongside Anne Hathaway as The White Queen and Burton’s wife, Helena Bonham Carter as The Red Queen. Also featured: Michael Sheen, Mia Wasikowska, Matt Lucas, Crispin Glover, Stephen Fry and Alan Rickman.

Brooke Shields: Lipstick Jungle Not Canceled
Brooke Shields says her NBC drama Lipstick Jungle hasn’t been canned.
“They thought that because My Own Worst Enemy has been shut down that the same thing had happened to us, and it’s not true,” she said at Sunday’s Cookie magazine Kidsfest in NYC. “They’re not breaking down the sets. We’re still working. We still have more to do, so it’s erroneously presented that we’ve been canceled, thank God. Our bosses are saying, ‘You’re not canceled, don’t worry. We’re just trying to figure out how to make this make sense.’ It’s been insane. I think that the public outcry has been crazy, and it’s kind of wonderful. We’re basically No. 1 if you look at DVR. And you look at all that. So the public is watching it.”
Fans have been sending tubes of lipstick to the President & CEO of NBC Universal: Jeff Zucker, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, 52nd Floor, New York, NY, 10112. And as a bonus, lipstick to the co-chairman of NBC: Ben Silverman, 100 Universal City Plaza, Bldg 1280 Flr 11, Universal City, CA, 91608.
Almost 250 of you commented on the news of Lipstick Jungle being canceled. Who do you believe, The Hollywood Reporter or one of the stars of the show?

Scarlett Johansson - “Allure” December 2008
Scarlett Johansson takes the December 2008 cover of Allure. Here are some great interview snippets via Us:
On not knowing why Lindsay Lohan doesn’t like her: “I really don’t know that person. I only met her, like, three times.” (Scarlett did lose the lead role in The Parent Trap to Lindsay when she was 13.)
On Lindsay scrawling vulgar words about the actress on a NYC bathroom stall 2½ years ago: “That’s what I heard. I don’t know what the motivation was behind that. I remember it was something really vulgar — I mean, shockingly so, like, ‘Whoa, what, who are you?’”
On Woody Allen once calling her his muse: “I don’t inspire that work that Woody does. I’m just lucky to fit into the ‘young woman’ category in his movies. But make no mistake, I know that if it wasn’t me, it would be someone else.”
On how she met husband Ryan Reynolds: “Nobody knows. It’s private. It’s our story.”
On the tattoo on her forearm: “It’s kind of personal. It’s a sunrise, and it makes me happy when I look at it.”

Chris Diamantopoulos is Shirtless Sexy
Ugly Betty star Becki Newton and her husband, The Starter Wife actor Chris Diamantopoulos, spend the day along Miami Beach before attending the 2008 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show at the Fontainebleau Hotel. Check out the sensuous massage Chris, 33, gave Becki, 30, a massage after their romantic walk together!
FYI: The couple first met underground! Becki has shared, “[Chris and I] actually met in Times Square on the subway platform. I was walking one way… and he was walking the other way. So we walked by each other and we had that moment where we looked at each other. And I started laughing because he was cute and he busted me checking him out. I kept walking and 30 seconds later, I felt a little tap on my shoulder. He said, ‘Excuse me, I think I might be lost.’ I said, ‘Mmm, I don’t think you are.’ He said, ‘Maybe you’re lost?’ I said, ‘No.’ And he said, ‘This area’s very confusing, maybe we should just figure this out together.’” After riding the subway together, Chris asked Becki if she wanted to see him onstage in The Full Monty. She recalls, “He said, ‘I don’t want to be too forward but maybe you’d like to come see me naked on Broadway sometime.’ So I did and now we’re married.”
