The first look at Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland has been released to the public. This star-studded adventure has been awaited for quite some time.

The adventure ensues with Alice(Mia Wasikowska), The Mad Hatter(Johnny Depp), The White Queen(Anne Hathaway), The Red Queen(Helena Bonham Carter), The White Rabbit(Michael Sheen), The Caterpiller(Alan Rickman), The Jabberwock(Christopher Lee), The Cheshire Cat(Stephen Fry) and other crazy, colorful characters.(Try saying that five times fast!)

Alan Rickman is one of the only stars that I can’t seem to find any picture of in costume. The reason? He didn’t have a costume! Rickman’s face is pasted onto a completely animated caterpillar.

Rickman explains,”So, it’s a mixture. The movie is a mixture of live action, animation, and stop motion, so it’s very complicated and I don’t think all three have been put together ever before. So I’ll be with a live action Alice. I will be a construct.”

Rickman also reveals some disturbing news. Helena Bonham Carter is “in a costume and in makeup but her head is going to be made three times bigger than it actually is on top of the costume.” Sounds scary! (See photo below)

As for Michael Sheen, he does not physically appear in the film, he uses his voice to portray the rabbit. Sheen mentions his feelings about the film, saying, “I’m sure it’s going to be marvellous.”

Richard D. Zanuck, the film’s producer, says,”We finished shooting in December after only 40 days”. Is that even possible? As of now, the live action is being merged with the animation and CGI effects and then eventually created in 3D. The film will be released in regular theatres as well as Disney Digital 3D and IMAX.

The film is set to be released on March 5, 2010. Teaser posters and banners have yet to be released either, but will be coming soon to cinema lobbies giving you a first glimpse into Burton’s world.

Kate Hudson admitted she got a little too much into character on the set of Bride Wars, when she accidentally punched costar, Anne Hathaway, in the face during the movie’s cat fight scene.

“We were really tired, and I had this big rock on my finger. … I whacked Annie in the face so hard,” Hudson said on the Rachael Ray show Friday. “She was like: No, no, keep going because she was so into it … Two hours later, she’s sitting in the back of a car with an ice pack on her face. I was so bad. I really clocked her.”

Hudson, 29, also told Ray about the main man in her life – her son Ryder.

“He’s got a different brain than I do. I was all sport and energy. … Ryder is a mind child,” she says, “He really loves music, and he knows every word to “Viva La Vida,” the Coldplay song.”

She’s also surprised how quickly he’s growing.

“Today we were talking about the day he was born…and now that he’s 5, it’s like: Mom come on I’m going to be five for a whole year. I’m like: Wow, that’s amazing, one whole hand,” Hudson says.

Anne Hathaway’s ex, Raffaello Follieri, an Italian businessman who conned investors by pretending to be a representative of the Vatican, has pled guilty to 14 counts of ‘con-artistry’ and ‘will serve at least five years in prison.’

While Hathaway won’t reveal if she helped the Feds, she talks about her life since the arrest in an interview. The midtown apartment she shared with Follieri was searched by the authorities so after spending a week “in shock” she’s been staying at a friend’s house.

“It’s a situation where the rug was pulled out from under me all of a sudden,” she says. “But just as suddenly, my friends threw another rug back under me.”

Raffaello Follieri, Anne Hathaway’s ex-boyfriend, was in court in New York yesterday on fraud and money laundering charges. Suddenly, he had to be taken to the hospital. Why? Because he came down with a “sinus infection”. More like an allergy to punishment!

Says Raffy’s rep to People, “He had an episode in the courtroom which lead to him being transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation. I do not have the specifics on what type of treatment at this time but [it's] for a severe sinus infection.”

Give me a break! This guy is just stalling and trying to get out of jail. He should have thought about the consequences before trying to pass himself off as the chief financial officer for the freakin’ Pope!
