Before Helena Bonham Carter was married to Tim Burton, she was sleeping with Don Johnson in Miami Vice. How beautiful and normal did the 20 year old actress look in that 1987 episode?
Everybody’s Fine is out on DVD today and even though Robert De Niro’s family didn’t want to come home to see him, you will want to see him in your home in this movie. Everybody’s Fine stars Robert De Niro as recently widowed and retired father of four, who is planning for all of his kids to come home to see him for the first time since his wife died, but when they all cancel on him he decides to surprise them by visiting them. Because of health issues, he decides to take trains and buses to see his four kids who live in four different cities throughout the country. De Niro was not that close to his kids played by Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale and Sam Rockwell when they were growing up and as he visits them he learns things about them he never knew and why they cancelled on him. Seeing a man realize it is never too late to get to know your family and have them be a big part of your life will really inspire you to call at least one family member you haven’t spoken to in while and get to know them all over again! How many movies can say that. So why not own this movie so your family will get larger each time you watch it.
The DVD includes Paul McCartney’s Golden Globe nominated song (I Want To) Come Home as well as a behind the scenes featurette and deleted and extended scenes that were not included in the theatrical release. When it comes to the extended scenes there is one scene in the movie where DeNiro is talking to a 94 year old man and it was one of the most thought provking scenes in the movie and the extended scene will bring a smile to your face and it makes sense why the full scene couldn’t be in theatrical release. There is also an extended scene that will bring tears to your eyes more than what was seen in theaters and I already that scene was gut wrenching enough in the original release. Also the featurette for Paul McCartney’s (I Want To) Come Home is something fun and it was neat to see his process behind it!
So add Everybody’s Fine to your DVD collection today because it is a movie you will want to watch whenever you want your family back in your life!
Charlie Sheen is in rehab and is taking a break from Two and a Half Men to do so according to press release from his publicist Stan Rosenfield, “As a preventative measure, Charlie Sheen has entered a rehabilitation facility. He will take some time off his series Two And A Half Men. He has asked that his privacy be honored. No further statements are planned.”
According to TMZ even though Charlie’s wife Brooke is also in rehab, the two are not at the same one. TMZ says that their twins boys are with Brooke in rehab and her staff of nannies is helping her out. Now how a mother, who is trying to get better, has her kids with her is beyond me. To me rehab is not a place for children especially for babies as young as Max and Bob.
Now when it comes to Two and a Half Men, TMZ says that Charlie did not notify them he was entering rehab and it wasn’t until they checked to find out why he didn’t show up to work that they found out. So obviously the #1 comedy on TV is in flux. According to Nikki Finke, 18 of the 23 episodes for the season have been shot which is the same amount that another CBS sitcom, Accidentally on Purpose had ordered for their season. Too bad Jenna Elfman is about to give birth otherwise they could’ve extended that order to fill the slot vacated by Sheen’s show. Although 2.5 does well in repeats so maybe they will air repeats until May sweeps.
When it comes to 2.5, I wouldn’t mind a few episodes that are Charlieless and to fill the void they have more scenes with Charlie and Alan’s mom Evelyn Harper and Berta. They do not use Holland Taylor and Conchata Ferrell enough on the show. I am also not liking this season’s storyline with Charlie and his fiancee’, the actress doesn’t do anything for me and Charlie needs to be a playboy and not tied down.
UPDATE: TMZ says that Charlie will be in rehab for two weeks and production will restart on the show when he is out. They added he did let people involved with the show that he was voluntarily checking himself into rehab, so they were aware that he would be taking the time off.
Also TMZ now says that their twins, Max and Bob are staying at the family home and the couple’s moms will be checking in on them while Charlie and Brooke are in rehab.
If you are like me and you follow the cast of Modern Family on Twitter then you know that they are always posting photos of the awwwdorable little actress who plays Lily. Well now her TV dad, Cameron aka Eric Stonestreet is not only dressing her up on the hit comedy, he also set his Lily Pad up with a Twitter page. Seriously it is the cutest page on Twitter that I have found to date. So far she has Tweeted, “@jessetyler He-lloooo dada da da!” and “@ericstonestreet ((to the tune of twinkle little star)) da da da da da da da! da da da da da da da!…” and the picture above. Hopefully soon she will be send Tweets to her TV step-grandmother Sofia Vergara and her TV step-uncle Rico Rodriguez!
Seriously following the Tweets of the cast of Modern Family makes me love the show even more! If you never seen the ABC sitcom, then you are sincerely missing out so watch it every Wednesday on ABC at 9p and be prepared to laugh!
And if someone from Modern Family by some miracle actually reads this, can you please get Ed O’Neill on Twitter! Now that would be awesome!

Tim Burton’s films are very cartoony and weird, so why shouldn’t his real life wife be very animated and odd. Helena Bonham Carter was promoting her husband’s latest film Alice in Wonderland and by the looks of her faces and hair I don’t think they had to do a lot of CGI work to make the Red Queen’s head appear 3X larger than it is. No matter what movie her husband does, Helena always fits in perfectly both on and off of the screen. They are match made in their own version of heaven that no one else can envision like him!
BTW her hair totally mystifies me, can someone please explain it to me.
