I’ve never read Jane Eyre so I don’t know what all the hype is about, but there is a new version of Jane Eyre coming out next week with Mia Wasikowska as Jane Eyre and Michael Fassbender as Mr. Rochester and it’s been getting a lot of love from the media. It’s said to be a much darker interpretation of the book.

Because I don’t like to be left out of the hype I think I’ll add Jane Eyre next on my “to read” list.

Stacey: Who is this Michael Fassbender who seems to be everywhere all of a sudden?

Here’s Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska, Michael Sheen, Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter premiering Alice in Wonderland in Paris.

According to the cast it’s ‘kid friendly’ and Helena says her 2yr old didn’t find it scary at all, and Johnny Depp said his kids (Lily-Rose & Jack) “loved every character. They weren’t freaked out by it whatsoever.” I don’t know how much I trust these guys kids. I’ve seen how Helena and Tim dress on a daily basis (same as these photos but more black) so they’re probably not afraid of much.

That said, what’s up with Helena Bonham Carter’s shoes? Did she have to walk to the premiere or do you think she bought them that way? “Do you have these ones in a muddy cream?” I have a strange feeling that she made them that way. Bought some new shoes, then wore them in some puddles to get a ‘unique’ effect. Helena, if we’re the same size I’ve got some old dirty shoes you can borrow for premieres. Not even borrow, you can just keep them.

But I do love her Queen of Hearts clutch, and she has some hearts on her dress too. This is custom made ‘hot mess’ specifically for the premiere. I’m excited to see what she wears to the next premieres. Love Anne Hathaway & Mia Wasikowska’s dresses. And I have to say that Michael Sheen is really growing on me as an actor.

Stacey: I would love to be a fly on the wall in her seamstresses studio…”She wants me to make what?  But she will look like a homeless bag lady.  What?  Thats the point?  Ok, I guess I can make something kinda like that”. 

And for the record I love how Johnny Depp dresses…LOVE!

Here’s Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Johnny Depp (below, click it for the larger pic) promoting Alice in Wonderland.

I think Helena Bonham Carter might wear old school knickers. Like 1650 style. I really like HBC (heh, that’s Helena Bonham Carter and not Hudson’s Bay Company of course) but I think she might be just a little past “eccentric” and in the realm of “weird”.
