Oscar Nominees: Helena Bonham Carter shocking childhood story revealed?

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.”

Celebrity Sightings: Kim Kardashian without makeup looks Girl Next Door?

Kim Kardashian without makeup looks very… Girl Next Door?

[Feb. 24]

Kim Kardashian was caught out in public without makeup the other day as she stepped outside in Studio City, California. The brunette bombshell reality star Kim Kardashian, who is known for her over-the-top use of makeup and otherwise stellar style, looked positively … human, surprising everybody.

The reality star Kim Kardashian has been unmasked in the past for variety of photo shoots without makeup, but there always has been an air of contrivance about it. Clearly Kardashian was modeling at those times — and no… those photos don’t look like this one from Pop Eater (see photo of Kim Kardashian without makeup), but this time she appeared as just another person in the city. It is true: no makeup, hair in disarray, big dark circles under her eyes, and just (as we said) looking quite normal but still like a hot chick as she chatted on her cell phone.

Regarding being seen in public without her makeup, Kim Kardashian told Celebuzz in May 2010:

I recently did a photo shoot for Life & Style Magazine in which I stripped off all my makeup and went completely bare faced in front of the cameras. After doing my naked shoot for Harper’s Bazaar, an experience which left me feeling really empowered and liberated, I felt like it was time to show everyone that I really am comfortable in my own skin and I’m not afraid to be seen without makeup. Just because I get glammed up every day for photo shoots and events doesn’t mean I won’t be seen without it! I hope that this will give some of you guys confidence to go bare faced. You are all beautiful, with or without makeup!
