Tim Burton based the White Queen from Alice in Wonderland on Nigella Lawson. The director admits he couldn’t stop thinking about the celebrity chef when he was creating the character, played in the new movie by Anne Hathaway. He revealed: “There’s this very beautiful cooking show host in England named Nigella Lawson and I quietly had her as my image for this character.” The director – who previously said that the Red Queen was partly inspired by New York real estate mogul Leona Helmsley – used Nigella for ideas because her domestic goddess routine has an eerie edge to it at times. He explained to the Los Angeles Times: “She’s really beautiful and she does all this cooking, but then there’s this glint in her eye and when you see it you go, ‘Oh, whoa, she’s like really…nuts.’ I mean in a good way. Well, maybe. I don’t know.”

Anne Hathaway, 26, stars alongside Kate Hudson in the comedy Bride Wars. Hathaway plays Emma, a school teacher who falls out with her best friend, Liv (Hudson) when their eagerly anticipated weddings are scheduled for exactly the same time on the same day at their dream venue, The Plaza Hotel in New York. As the day quickly approaches, each tries to scupper the other’s plans for a perfect wedding day.
It looks like it but was Bride Wars fun to make?
Yes it was but it was a difficult film to make as well. We had a short shooting schedule and had to pack a lot of filming into about two months. But there were certain scenes I would find myself in the middle of where Kate and I would just be yelling at each other about something ridiculous like who gets what wedding date and who was going to move hers, and the absurdity of it always made me laugh.
