Helena Bonham Carter's Christmas tree will be decorated with "dead babies and slime" this year.

The actress, who has a four-year-old son Billy-Ray with long-term partner Tim Burton, has revealed her director lover shuns tradition in favor of creating a "gory" atmosphere during the festive season.

Helena Bonham Carter claims her breasts swelled to the size of melons then shriveled to tangerines in her new film.

The actress fell pregnant during the filming of "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street", directed by her long-term partner Tim Burton, and revealed her breast size changed constantly in the final cut of the movie because it was filmed out of sequence.

Entertainment Weekly magazine has compiled the listed of the hottest Hollywood stars on the planet for 2007.

The entertainment bible gave stars titles such as 'Class Clown' and 'Veterans' to highlight each celeb's contribution to the industry in the past 12 months.

Johnny Depp says every moment with his daughter is a "mini-celebration", following her near-fatal health scare. The actor said Lily-Rose, his eight-year-old daughter with long-term partner Vanessa Paradis, has not suffered any lasting damage from the mystery illness which left her hospitalized for nine days earlier this year.

He said: "Now every single millisecond is a mini-celebration. Every time we get to breathe in and exhale is a huge victory. She pulled through beautifully, perfectly, with no lasting anything."

Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter are expecting their second child together.

The couple, who are currently on vacation in Italy with their three-year-old son Billy Raymond Burton, are said to be thrilled with the news.
