Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter met on the set of his heavily-panned 2001 remake of Planet of the Apes, when he caught her eye and told her that she made a perfect monkey. The romance was slow to ignite for other reasons, not the least being that 49-year-old Burton, of sinister countenance, and oozing Hollywood gothic, was engaged to Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of the late rock king, Elvis. Love, nevertheless, triumphed and they ended up together. Well, together after a fashion, for they live, today, in adjoining houses in north London, and there is no doubt about whose is whose. "Mine looks like something out of Beatrix Potter," says Helena - still, at 41, an enduring vision of bodice-busting English rosiness - "but if you go over to his house you're in a totally different place.
Natalie's a Wonder at Mr. Magorium's Premiere
Natalie Portman looked absolutely stunning in pink at the NYC premiere of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium last night.

The N.F.L. Pulled Something Out of the Air This Season

When Amani Toomer caught Eli Manning's short pass, dodged a tackle and sprinted down the Dallas sideline for a 52-yard touchdown last week, the Giants were not only on the path to Sunday's National Football Conference championship game. They also represented, in one play, the convergence of schemes, rules and personnel that made this the highest-flying season in N.F.L. history. .
The eBay of tomorrow
Patel, managing director of Internet research at Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. Based on a Deutsche Bank formula that includes user growth, listings growth and average selling price, Patel pegs eBays 2006 e-commerce market share at 12.7%, down from 13.1% in 2005.
