Starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter

Tim Burton: one of the freshest, most exciting directors out there? in 1992. While many are salivating at the upcoming Alice in Wonderland, others note that his directing style has gotten repetitive and, sadly, dull in its whimsical goth aesthetic. With that in mind, we here at Nerve decided to show you what could happen if Burton got his hands on five other stories to adapt.

1. Gingerbread Man

Set in dark, moody underworld of British bakeries in Victorian England, this tale of suspense, shadows, and butter-cream frosting follows a baker?s apprentice (Johnny Depp) as he races against time to stop his beloved fiancee (Helena Bonham Carter) from succumbing to the charms of his evil accidental creation, the Gingerbread Man. With music by Danny Elfman.

2. Macbeth

Set in the dark, moody underworld of Scotland, this gothic adaptation of Shakespeare?s tragedy pulses with darkness and frightful whimsy. Johnny Depp stars as the power-hungry protagonist, with supporting performances by Helena Bonham Carter as the witches, Winona Ryder as Lady Macbeth, and, in his daring sophomore performance, a clay model of a Gingerbread Man as Banquo.

3. I Dream of Jeannie

Set in the dark, shag-carpeted underworld of 1960s suburban housing divisions, Burton?s film reinvigorates a television classic. When astronaut Tony Nelson (Michael Keaton) crash-lands and discovers the 2000-year-old supernatural bombshell (Johnny Depp), his life is turned upside-down as the two take a whimsical, dream-like voyage through her phantasmagoric world. Can they win her freedom from the dangerous and frightening Genie Master (Alec Baldwin)? Featuring Helena Bonham Carter as astronaut Roger Healey.

4. Supreme: The Ruth Bader Ginsburg Story

Set in the dark, sleep-deprived world of American constitutional law, Tim Burton?s touching and fantastical biopic of the second female Supreme Court Justice? well, frankly, takes some liberties. Suffering from bouts of insomnia as she prepares to ascend to the highest court in the land, Ginsburg (Johnny Depp) must fight her way through a waking dream world in the U.S. Supreme Court Building. Can she banish the ghost of Warren Burger before the sun rises on her first day on the bench?

5. The Audacity of Hope

Set in the dark, audacity-filled world of the 2008 presidential election, this thrilling adaptation stars Helena Bonham Carter as Barack Obama. Following the critical savaging of Supreme, Burton dials it back a notch with a relatively true-to-life take on the struggles and triumphs of the first African-American man ever elected President of the U.S., as interpreted by a white British woman. With Johnny Depp as Sen. John McCain, Anne Hathaway as Michelle Obama, Winona Ryder as Sen. Hillary Clinton, Geena Davis as Gov. Sarah Palin, Alec Baldwin as Sen. Joe Biden, Michael Keaton as George W. Bush, and Danny Elfman as Oprah.

Let's hope he doesn't find any lollipops to lick in the slammer... they aren't the kind he likes...

New York (CNN) -- Lil' Wayne was sentenced Monday to a year in prison.

The rapper, whose legal name is Dwayne Carter, pleaded guilty in October to felony gun charges as part of a deal with prosecutors.

The charges stem from his arrest in 2007 outside New York City's Beacon Theater. According to police, Carter had a .40-caliber pistol on his tour bus. His attorney said it belonged to someone else.

His sentencing was delayed twice -- first so he could get dental work done, including removal of his diamond-studded braces, then because of a fire at a Manhattan courthouse.

At Manhattan Supreme Court on Monday, the room was packed with onlookers, while more people crowded outside.

Carter was offered the chance to make a statement but declined, shaking his head.

His attorney requested that Carter have protective custody while he is incarcerated. The attorney also requested medical attention because of his recent dental surgery.

As Carter was leaving the courtroom, a fan said to him, "Keep your head up, Weezy," using the rapper's nickname.

Another man wore a T-shirt that said "Free Weezy."

Carter also faces felony drug possession and weapons charges in Arizona.

Lil' Wayne is a multiplatinum-selling and Grammy-winning rap artist. His hits include "The Block is Hot" and "Lollipop." His album "Tha Carter III" was the top selling disc of 2008. His latest album, "Rebirth," was released last month.

Special Tuesday UPDATE:

There are a lot of things more popular than pickles. Canadian rock band Nickelback is not one of them.

In just three weeks a cucumber in brine has gained 1.5 million Facebook fans, overtaking the multi-platinum selling band on the social-networking site, the Guardian reports.

The page dedicated to the pickle campaign, 'Can this pickle get more fans than Nickleback?' ? with the band named spelled purposely wrong due to Facebook policy ? was created in jest and took off on the social networking site.

Facebook allows users to create 'Fan' pages, dedicated to everything from bands to television shows. Recently, a crop of pages asking if innocuous objects can get more 'fans' than popular celebrities has sprung up. The pickle page creator got her inspiration from "Can this onion ring get more fans than Justin Bieber?"

Nickelback are one of the top selling artists of the past decade, with more than 30 million records sold worldwide. Their last release, 2005's "All The Right Reasons" reached number one on the Billboard 200 and spawned the single "Rockstar." Despite their success, the band is often criticized for their generic take on modern rock music, and their records regularly receive less than glowing reviews.

Though Nickelback has not released a statement regarding their defeat by the deli staple, according to a Daily Swarm screencap, lead singer Chad Kroeger has contacted the creator of the page. He sent a curt note that simply said "your page will be closing in 2 weeks," to which the creator responded "I still whooped your ******, Chad! :)"

The dill pickle in question now has its own official website, titled, what else, Pickleback.
