Video Premiere: Kerli, 'Tea Party'

If you were to dream about the ultimate Mad Hatter tea party, it would probably look like the one in Kerli's new video. The international singer-songwriter has penned a song called 'Tea Party' for the Alice in Wonderland soundtrack 'Almost Alice,' and in true Kerli fashion, she's taking all the visuals to the extreme.

Dressed in outrageous costumes, Kerli sets up a lavish tea party for her friends. Each one of them has a distinct look and everyone is having a great time until Kerli spikes the tea with a secret potion.

All of the props and costumes in the video were shot live, but most of the backgrounds you see aren't actually there. Flip through our behind-the-scenes photos and you'll see that a majority of the video was shot against a green screen. See how it all came together in the full video after the jump. Kerli's 'Tea Party' is available on iTunes now.

 

'Alice in Wonderland' Breaks Box Office Records

Alice in Wonderland was a huge hit among moviegoers this weekend, and now Tim Burton can count it as his most successful film to date.

The wonders of Wonderland were enough to score the film the No. 1 spot at the box office, earning $116.3 million in the U.S. and $94 million internationally for a total of $210.3 million worldwide.

The 3-D adaptation also broke the record for the highest opening weekend of any movie in 2010 so far, and the best-ever March debut, breaking the previous record of $70.8 million held by the 2007 film 300.

While the movie is still in its opening week, fans can already get psyched to own their own copy and DVR it when it airs on television. Disney intends to make Alice in Wonderland available on DVD at the end of May, and ABC Family just scooped up the TV premiere rights with plans to premiere the movie in 2012.

These days, movies are coming out on DVD just months after their theatrical release, but until 3D TV technology becomes more commonplace, the draw of 3D movies will still keep moviegoers coming.

'Alice in Wonderland' World Premiere Gets the Royal Treatment

Although it was pouring in London on Thursday, it didn't stop the stars of Alice in Wonderland from attending the world premiere of the highly anticipated 3D film. Mia Wasikowska, Anne Hathaway, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Avril Lavigne and, of course, director Tim Burton were all on hand to celebrate the big event.

But that's not all. Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, and his wife Camilla also attended the premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square, making it a truly royal affair. The stars of the film -- as well as Avril, who sings the movie's theme song 'Alice' -- all got to shake hands and speak with the royal guests, decked out in stunning evening wear.

Mia rocked a floor-skimming Valentino Couture gown, while Anne sported a bronze Vivienne Westwood sequined dress. And Helena dressed for the occasion with a layered white number, complete with a red heart embellishment.

 

Avril Lavigne Takes a Trip to Wonderland in New Video 'Alice'

Avril Lavigne has written an original song for Alice in Wonderland called 'Alice,' and in her new music video for the song, the 25-year-old pop star gets to travel to Wonderland just like you-know-who.

Avril falls down the rabbit hole and finds herself in the mysterious world of Tim Burton's new film. She runs through the forest and eventually arrives at the Mad Hatter's tea party as a very welcomed guest. The video is woven with actual footage from the movie, so it looks like the singer is right there with all of the vivid characters.

Alice is an independent 19-year-old who explores her own self-confidence throughout the film, so it's fitting that Avril's theme song echos all of those same themes. How so? You'll see what we mean after watching the video. 'Alice' is available on iTunes now, and you can hear the song in the end credits of Alice in Wonderland in theaters on March 5.
