Johnny Depp to star in fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie
Johnny Depp has agreed to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow for a fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. His salary? $56 million. As in dollars. $56 million dollars. The sum eclipses Tom Hanks' record payday 0f $50 million for Sony's Da Vinci Code prequel, Angels & Demons. A source told the Daily Mail:
"It's a lot of swag but they just can't make another without Sparrow." (Source)
Really? Johnny Depp's worth $56 million. Seems to me like you could build a pretty robot that walks and talks like Johnny for a few million. Hell, I built a half-decent sexbot out of an old toaster and a jar of peanut bu -- you didn't hear that . . . so . . . crazy weather lately or what?

Johnny Depp flipping the bird at the airport in Nice, France (7/28)
You know what the most fucked up thing about this picture is? Johnny's not flipping off the paparazzi -- he's flipping off a young boy in a wheelchair behind the paparazzi. It's true. It's a dirty little industry secret that Johnny hates the handicapped with a passion . . . OK I probably made that up. The homeless on the other hand . . .

She's a great whistler
Johnny Depp is set to marry his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis (above), according to Life & Style magazine. The couple have been dating for ten years and have two children together. A friend told the mag:
"Vanessa recently told Johnny that she would love to have a wedding. Johnny loves Vanessa very much, and he said if that's what would make her happy, then he'd marry her. [Johnny and Vanessa's children] are really excited about it. Actually the whole family is excited. They wanted to make i n convenient for Johnny's family in Florida so the nuptials will likely take place in Georgia's Tybee Island. They're going to send out invitations in a few weeks." (Source)
Who wants to marry someone they've been with for 10 years? You'd think Johnny would know the second rule of Hollywood: When a chick hits 23, it's time to trade her in for a younger model. The first rule: Never sleep on your stomach at Tom Cruise's house.
NOTE: An even scarier pic of Vanessa HERE

On the 13th anniversary of friend River Phoenix's death, Johnny Depp conducted a séance with the help of celebrity psychic Kenny Kingston (Phoenix died on Halloween night 1993 from a drug-induced heart failure outside the Viper Room club Depp once owned). According to Kingston, Phoenix warned Depp to steer clear of an obsessive fan.
"He fears for Johnny Depp. He said that Johnny must watch out for someone with a vicious temper. "He said, 'Danger lies in the shadows.' "I get the impression he was talking about an obsessed fan."
Don't you think the top executives at Disney are shitting their pants right now? Pretty much the only way 'The Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise won't continue to make ridiculous money for the next 20 years is if Depp starts pulling this Tom Cruise act. I wouldn't be surprised if, the next time Depp shows up on set, someone jumps out the bushes with a blowgun and shoots him with a tranquilizing dart. They could probably squeeze another 50 million out of 'Dead Man's Chest' over the next few months if they just kept Depp in a room away from the influencing forces of celebrity psychics.
