Lindsay Lohan is desperate to star in a new adaptation of 'Alice in Wonderland'. The actress is hoping to convince director Tim Burton to cast her in the hotly-anticipated version of Lewis Carroll's classic children's tale.

Lindsay said: "I just hope they don't want an unknown, I really want this part."

Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton have named their daughter Indiana Rose. Helena gave birth to the baby on December 15, 2007, but the couple has only just chosen a name.

According to internet rumors, the pair - who also have a four-year-old son Billy Ray - decided on the unusual moniker just days ago. Helena recently revealed the couple was having difficulty choosing a name because they thought they were going to have another boy.

Tim Burton acts "crazy" and talks to himself on the street to stop people from bothering him. The 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' director admits he developed his unusual defense mechanism to avoid constant attention from fans.

Burton said: "If you want people to leave you alone then appearing to be crazy is a good thing. If you're walking down the street talking to yourself people tend to give you a wide berth!"

Helena Bonham Carter says 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' is a "portrait of her home life".

The actress - who stars with Johnny Depp in the macabre musical directed by her long-term partner Tim Burton - joked the dark film is a mirror image of her relationship with the filmmaker.
