SPOOKY BABY BORN The very pregnant, mildly disoriented Helena Bonham Carter has given birth to a healthy baby girl. Carter and husband Tim Burton aren't telling the media the baby's name. (Of course, the media probably shouldn't care.) In light of the couple's silence, TMZ went ahead and called the kid "Sweeny Tot." Good for them.
In an effort to bolster the ever-assailed decorum of the Internet, Mollygood looks to poetry with Someone Haiku. Each day – using 17 syllables or less – you’re given the opportunity to wax poetic about some piece of flotsam or jetsam that’s washed up on the shores of Mollygood. Hopefully this Zen practice will not only bathe you in self-discovery, but also bring a touch of Eastern class to a global network of information that’s devolved into nothing more than tit websites and provocative MySpace pictures.
Today's Someone Haiku is stacia:
why couldn’t this be
the 2 cups girls swearing off
nudity instead?
A Two Girls One Cup reference! Our gag reflex has never been so tickled by poetry. Fantastic work.
New one under here.

That kid's Halloweens are going to be so great your memories of pumpkin carving with dad will seem like child abuse.
Dressing up nicely for an event you could get away with attending in only a tricorne and a diaper is a very respectful gesture. That your fancy clothes are a touch big on you makes the effort also cute. This is the sartorial equivalent of baking cookies for your mother and slightly burning them.
After the jump, many more from the Venice Film Festival.

Warner Brothers executives have asked Tim Burton to tone down the blood and gore in his production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, fearful that the movie's current violent cut will earn it an R rating.
"Tim’s not happy that the studio is asking for so many cuts to the cutting, as it were," someone connected to the film told the Daily Mail. "The thing is, the studio really likes the film and they want to make it accessible to as big an audience as possible - which means stemming the blood flow."
Because, really, how grisly does a story about a vengeful serial killer and his cannibalistic lover have to be? You mustn't frighten the children, Mr Burton, especially when they've money to spend. (That's what they mean when they say they want to "make it accessible to as big an audience as possible.")

Just as you should expect your chefs to be portly, you need to expect your macabre, stop-motion animation directors to be weird; and Tim Burton never disappoints. Even if he's going to some hoity-toity exhibit at the London's Royal Academy, he makes sure to keep one foot firmly rooted in dark oddball. Wife Helena Bonham Carter just adds to the dishevelment. They don't look dirty, they look too busy with important business at the laboratory to brush their hair.
Tim Burton is Marilyn Manson gone horribly right.
