BUMRUSH Girl of the Month: Helena Bonham Carter
First, Helena Bonham Carter has the sexiest name in all of Hollywood. Second, despite the scummy roles she often plays in (such as Bellatrix Lestrange in the latest Harry Potter movie), she's always attracted me in that dangerous bad girl kind of way. Call me a sucker for mysterious girls, but you can't deny that Bonham Carter cleans up well:
Best Movie: If you count the roles in which she was a supporting actress (and she does the supporting thing a lot), it would absolutely have to be Fight Club. But while Bonham Carter did a fine job in the movie, it really was a Ed Norton/Brad Pitt vehicle. I've also heard good things about Sweeney Todd, but I haven't had a chance to see it yet.
Worst Movie: Again, it's really not her fault, but Planet of the Apes sucked ass. I was a huge fan of the earlier movies (I actually watched the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ones. That's how much I like the series). But this one was just a waste of my life.
Random Internet Fact: In May 2006, she launched her own fashion line, "The Pantaloonies." The first collection, called Bloomin' Bloomers, is a Victoriana style selection of camisoles, mop caps and bloomers. She is now working on Pantaloonies customized jeans which Helena describes as "a kind of scrapbook on the bum.".
