Helena Bonham Carter gets booted up

MOVIE director Tim Burton celebrated the birth of his baby daughter to actress Helena Bonham Carter somewhat unconventionally, by buying his partner four pairs of black biker boots.

The 49-year-old quirky romantic strolled into trendy design shop Cop Copine in Hampstead, North London, and bought every pair of the lace-up boots in her size to take to the hospital in a big orange bag for Helena, who gave birth on Saturday night.

A friend explains: “She’s not your typical diamonds girl so Tim thought she would appreciate a bit more thought and he knows how much she loves these black boots so he decided to buy her four pairs.”

The London-based couple, who already have a four-year-old son Billy Ray, have recently worked together in new movie Sweeney Todd, scheduled for its UK release in January.

Helena’s passion for black Gothic clothes has spread to co-star Johnny Depp’s French partner Vanessa Paradis, who,

our source reveals, has added the biker-­style boots to her Christmas wish list.
