Hattergate: White House Struggles to Account for Johnny Depp and Tim Burton Visit

There’s nothing better than a good Hollywood/Washington crossover scandal. This time around, it concerns Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, who apparently were not logged as official White House guests when they attended an “Alice in Wonderland” themed party in 2009 (Burton designed the party, and as unlikely as it may sound, Depp actually performed as his character, the Mad Hatter). The President’s staff insists that no wrongdoing occurred and that the party was not kept secret, but the whole matter grows curiouser and curiouser by the day.
