Thanks, for posting the pics..I only heard of her, from that Lenny Kravitz used to hit it. And that was supposedly why Depp moved 'em to France...avoid the Kravitz.

Hollywood EastThe Bronx's Kingsbridge Armory and Brooklyn's Marcy Ave. and Bedford armories are becoming movie sets as the cast and crew of "I Am Legend," a Warner Bros. extravangaza starring Will Smith and possibly Johnny Depp, gets ready to start production in September. I hear that Warner Bros. is paying $1.5 million to lease the three armories for 10 months, and that the movie (based on the Richard Matheson novel about the last living human being - played by Smith - trying to survive in a world full of vampires) is expected to create 1,800 local jobs.

My daughter and I went to see Pirates last night. I liked it, maybe a little too long, but every scene with Jack (Johnny Depp) is just awesome. He is SO sexy and so friggin funny, I was laughing out loud. I did not go back far enough to see if someone wrote this, NOT A MOVIE GIVEAWAY, I promise, but he has decided on a walk, and then a run for this supposedly virile pirate that is so hysterical it is worth the price of the ticket. He flails his arms and runs (dare I say it) like a GIRL. He is SUCH a good actor. Loved him in Wonka, loved him in Finding Neverland and many other movies.I think it is kind of cool he is not following the Hollywood script and living in the midst of all the hoop-la. It makes him much more intriguing not to see him so much.

Eyes in the back of his head? How else can you explain Johnny Depp's emergency pair of shades (hanging off his belt) as he heads to the Late Show with David Letterman in New York City on Thursday.

Fun Fact:Years ago my Dad was preparing for his high school reunion and he showed me a picture out of his 1958 Owensboro (KY) High School yearbook and it said: Best Looking, John Depp.Of course it was Johnny's father, and if you picture Johnny with a crew cut at 18, then you know what his dad looked like.Pretty cool.

Depp and Burton, Together Again

by Natalie Finn

Aug 16, 2006, 6:25 PM PT

 

His skin isn't pale and his eye isn't odd, but that's not stopping Johnny Depp from playing Sweeney Todd.

 

DreamWorks Studios announced Wednesday that the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise star will be wielding the Demon Barber of Fleet Street's straight razor in Tim Burton's upcoming adaptation of the Tony-winning Stephen Sondheim musical.

 

Sweeney Todd marks the sixth time that Burton will be telling Depp what to do. Since directing Depp in Edward Scissorhands in 1990, the two have worked together on Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

 

And true to form, their latest collaboration should be no less strange, unsettling or visually stunning.

 

The darkly comedic musical thriller Sweeney Todd, set in Victorian London, is the story of the title character's determination to exact revenge against the judge and constable who wrongfully imprisoned him. Let's just say, heads roll--often right into the meat pies that Todd's landlady, Mrs. Lovett, cheerfully and maniacally prepares for her unwitting customers.

 

Production on Burton's latest movie is slated to begin early next year in time for a late 2007 release.

 

Perhaps this latest venture will take Burton's mind off of the film adaptation he isn't currently making--Ripley's Believe It or Not with Jim Carrey.

 

Set to start filming in November, Paramount Pictures put the project indefinitely on hold in June after its budget topped $150 million. But studio reps maintain that Burton and Carrey are still attached to the film and still interested in making the creative (i.e. budget-slashing) changes necessary to get the cameras rolling.

 

It's still a pirate's life for Depp, though. While he's busy filming Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Dead Man's Chest has raked in enough booty--$858 million worldwide so far--to keep Captain Jack Sparrow sailing the high seas forever.

Burton and Depp's 'Sweeney' Set For 2007It's the sixth pairing for the director and his star What has been rumored since January finally became official on Wednesday (Aug. 16) when DreamWorks and Warner Bros. announced plans to co-produce a big screen adaptation of the classic musical "Sweeney Todd" to be directed by Tim Burton and star Johnny Depp.Burton was actually originally set to direct "Sweeney Todd" for Warner Bros. a decade ago, but he fell off the project not to return again until earlier this year, bringing frequent collaborator Depp with him.The Stephen Sondheim musical -- currently back on Broadway in an acclaimed revival -- focuses on the so-called Demon Barber of Fleet Street (Depp), who vows revenge on the judge who threw him in jail. Except close shaves and mysterious meat pies in what will be the sixth collaboration -- "Edward Scissorhands," "Ed Wood," "Sleepy Hollow," "Corpse Bride" and last summer's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" -- between Depp and Burton.'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' Showcard John Logan is writing the script and will produce along with Walter Parkes, Laurie MacDonald and Richard Zanuck. The plan is to have "Sweeney Todd" in production by the end of this year and in theaters at the end of 2007, with Paramount/DreamWorks handling domestic distribution and Warner Bros. taking the movie internationally."Sweeney Todd" really came together back in June. Before that time, Burton had been ready to direct Jim Carrey in "Ripley's Believe It or Now," while Depp was set to star for Peter Weir in "Shantaram." But when Paramount put "Ripley's" on hold for budgetary reasons and Weir left "Shantaram," Burton and Depp suddenly found themselves free.

Depp and Bloom - Back in the Water

Posted Aug 23rd 2006 2:42PM by TMZ Staff

 

The Black Pear anchors off the coast of California.After cleaning up at the Teen Choice Awards, Captain Jack Sparrow and his band of pirates headed back to the Black Pearl after a summer hiatus from filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 3."

 

The cast of next year's sure-to-be box office hit are now back on the ship off the coast of Palos Verdes, Calif.

 

After filming wrapped for the day on Tuesday evening, Orlando Bloom made a quick escape by jumping in his car and heading out. While Johnny Depp, on the other hand, found time to say hi and take pictures with the dozens of fans waiting to see the actor through a chain link fence that borders the set.

 

 

It's pretty clear why Depp walked away with the two Choice Movie Actor awards on Sunday night in both the comedy and drama/action categories. On- and off the screen- Johnny seems to be everyone's favorite movie star.

I REALLY like him, and this makes me think he is a VERY fun guy. Lucky Allison! Imagine just how excited Allison was when she walked away. Wonder who she called first?

Is hot actor Johnny Depp about to enter into matrimonial sanctity with his lovely, puckish French girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis?

 

That's what locals say in Plan de la Tour, a 12th-Century village near St.-Tropez in the south of France, where the couple, who've been going steady for eight years, own a $2-million villa.

 

It's a bit of a surprise, since Depp's often denied he's interested in the M-word. "It would be a shame to ruin her last name," he quipped to OK! magazine last year. "It's so perfect. It would be such a drag to stick her with Paradis-Depp."

DEPP'S CROSS-DRESSING SECRETS

Page Six

 

September 17, 2006 -- JOHNNY Depp may be as straight as an arrow, but he enjoyed donning women's clothes during the filming of "Ed Wood," in which he played the real-life, cross-dressing movie director.

 

In the upcoming bio, "The Secret World of Johnny Depp," author Nigel Goodall says Depp found out that just like Wood - the infamous director of "Plan 9 from Outer Space," considered one of the worst films ever made - Depp had a thing for angora sweaters as a young boy. Goodall quotes the star as saying: "I love angora sweaters. Oh man, they're unbelievable. They really feel good. This girl I dated when I was a teen-ager, she had an angora sweater. When we broke up, I was upset, but not about her. It was the sweater."

 

But his interest in all things soft and slinky really peaked when he was signed by director Tim Burton to play the quirky Wood and began parading around as a woman in full drag to get into character. At first, it had Burton worried that Depp might get beaten up because people in drag "were real easy targets, but Johnny was so credible" that he pulled it off.

 

Depp also got a package from "Miss Vera's Finishing School for Boys Who Want to be Girls," ex-porn star Veronica Vera's quirky Manhattan school that teaches men how to become transvestites. According to Scott Alexander, who wrote the screenplay, Depp also developed a weird habit where he would "grab the little hairs over his nipples and just try to twist them around, absentmindedly, while he was pacing around" in women's underwear.

 

Goodall tells how Marlon Brando once tried to intervene when Depp was busted in Manhattan for trashing a suite at the Mark Hotel in 1994. Brando "was very concerned about Johnny's well-being, and if there was anything he could do to help, he would like to," Depp's attorney David Breitbart tells the author.

 

Of that incident, Depp admits: "It wasn't a great night for me. I'm not trying to excuse what I did or anything." The book hits stores in November.

'Pirates 3': Keith Richards Rolls In

 

By Roger Friedman

 

A not terribly sober Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones has filmed his cameo as Johnny Depp’s swashbuckling dad in "Pirates of the Caribbean 3," which is shooting somewhere in Southern California in a place called Palmdale.

 

Last night at Premiere magazine’s decidedly swellegant Women in Hollywood Icon awards gala at the Beverly Hills Hotel, we heard a good story about Richards from gifted Brit actor Bill Nighy (you know him from playing a Richards like rock star in “Love Actually”).

 

Nighy wasn’t on set when Richards came for his big Hollywood moment, but he more or less confirmed for us a tale we’d heard earlier.

 

Richards, no stranger to substances and liquids, was left to his own devices in his trailer before his big scene. That wasn’t a good idea. When the time came to shoot, he was a bit “wobbly.” To keep him straight, director Gore Verbinski held Richards by the shins.

 

“If you’d wanted straight, then you got the wrong man,” Richards replied huskily.

 

Richards’ pirate costume, sources say, closely resembles Depp’s, with a different colored bandana. The two had such a good time together that Depp kept a souvenir from Richards’ short visit: a set of stairs built for Richards to get in and out of his trailer, which he signed to Depp with the salutation, “A step too far.”

 

Nighy, who doesn’t know when "Pirates" will wrap, came to the Premiere dinner as a special guest of Dame Judi Dench, who presented Premiere’s main award last night to “Notes on a Scandal” co-star Cate Blanchett.

'Pirates 3' Flies With More Dutchmen

Effects on third film going swimmingly

By Hanh Nguyen

 

SAN FRANCISCO -- Davy Jones and the cursed crew of The Flying Dutchman will get a few more barnacle-encrusted hands on deck.

 

Before the highly anticipated sequel "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" sets sail next spring, the visual effects department will have the task of creating new computer-generated shipmates to man the ghost ship.

 

"We're actually working on between six and ten new creatures. They're additional Dutchmen," says Industrial Light & Magic's Aaron McBride, the visual effects art director on "Pirates." "We just got approval last week on some of the designs that we did. So yeah, [i'm] looking forward to developing those guys."

 

These aren't any ordinary sailors, though. Each of Davy Jones's cursed seafarers exhibits physical deformities of an aquatic or nautical nature, such as the Dutchman Maccus, who has a hammerhead shark-style head or Penrod, who looks like a giant shrimp.

 

"A lot of the art we do here at the ILM art department is to kind of develop a look for the curse," explains McBride. "A lot of these were taken from the initial design pass that was done down in LA with [director] Gore Verbinski and his art department, including Crash McCreery. So what we tried to do was develop kind of a hierarchy to the curse, the idea being that the longer you serve on Davy Jones' crew on the Flying Dutchman, the more sort of encrusted you become, the more calcified, caked with barnacles and sea life."

 

Each of these unique characters is 100 percent CG on the big screen, including Davy Jones, the crew's murderous leader who has a rather squidlike face sporting 40-something squirming tentacles in place of hair and a beard. The captain provided the biggest technical challenge for the second "Pirates" movie because of the tentacles, his interaction with other characters and the need to create something creepy yet believably humanoidd.

 

Although British actor Bill Nighy performed the part, his physical presence only provided the animators with a reference for how the digital character would appear and interact on the screen. Only Nighy's voice and inspiration remained in the finished cut.

 

"There's not a big, technological hurdle with those [new] characters, but there is an aspect to '3' that's a huge hurdle for the visual effects crew," adds Animation Supervisor Hal T. Hickel. "I can't really say what it is, but as big as Davy was for us on '2,' this other stuff is going to be just as big a headache for us on '3.'"

 

At least this time around, creating Davy Jones won't be quite so difficult since the special tools they created for him are already in place. In addition, Nighy won't have to wear strange makeup around his eyes and mouth, which was Verbinski's backup plan. In case the VFX team couldn't create a 100 percent believable CG Davy Jones, Plan B was for the CG character to be laid on top of Nighy's footage, with the actor's eyes and mouth peeking out.

 

"That was a hindrance to us," says Geoff Campbell, senior digital model supervisor, whose job is to pore over every nuance in Nighy's expression to recreate it in the digital Davy Jones. "In some of these shots, certainly in the [dice game] sequence, sometimes because it was so dark in there, it was so hard to see what his eyes were doing. Sometimes you'd be staring at the lips, trying to understand a contour that was somehow making our model look very different from Bill Nighy's performance. Then you'd realize that you were misunderstanding where that lip line dropped off. So we were really happy to not have to deal with that on this last one because now we have a much cleaner plate of the actor to reference."

 

The third time's the charm for the ILM crew, whose work on "Pirates 3" is progressing right on schedule. The team already has a quarter of the approximately 800 shots that require their expertise.

 

"We have about 200 shots right now that have been turned in to us," says Hickel. 'So we're cruising along. In an ideal world, all the shooting would be done and the edits would be at a great point where the running length of the film felt pretty good before the visual effects were really underway in earnest. But that's just not the world we live in ... so there's going to be overlap. But you know, Gore is delivering sequences to us pretty regularly ... so that helps a lot."

 

"At World's End," starring Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley, takes to the cinematic waters worldwide on May 25, 2007.

DEPP'S TRAILER PERKS

Actor demands £20k upgrade Moorish look modelled on Keef

Eva Simpson & Caroline Hedley

 

HE'S not who we'd ask for home makeover tips - but Hollywood's Johnny Depp has been picking Keith Richards' brain for interior design advice.

 

Linda Barker busy then, Johnny?

 

The actor has demanded that his trailer be transformed into a Moroccan harem on the set of his new film Sweeney Todd.

 

Producers at Pinewood Studios have splashed out a staggering £20,000 carrying out a massive overhaul of his accommodation.

 

Johnny is a huge fan of Keith - the inspiration for his Captain Jack Sparrow character in Pirates Of The Caribbean. The guitar legend even has a small role in the third instalment of the swashbuckling trilogy.

 

The Rolling Stone fell in love with all things Moorish during the swinging 60s.

 

He is famed for decking out his hotel and dressing rooms with vibrant North African fabrics, candles and low lighting.

 

Now Johnny's off-set gaff teams (as we designer types say) luxurious drapes from Morocco with dozens of candles and several hubbly-bubbly pipes.

 

And we don't know what the actor will be smoking but he has asked for a coffee machine that "isn't complicated to use".

 

Our set source says: "There were a few raised eyebrows when producers heard his trailer demands for his trailer were. But no expense has been spared with the best quality drapes we could find, the pipes and a selection of flavoured tobacco for them."

 

 

Perhaps the most important detail is that the size of his trailer eclipses that of a certain other superstar.

 

Our source continues: "Johnny was upset that Vince Vaughn - who is at Pinewood to shoot Fred Claus - is renting the house in South West London that he wanted.

 

"So to make him feel better, Johnny asked that his trailer is bigger than Vince's, which is only a few yards away.

 

"We've given him the biggest one to make him happy."

 

Now that he's happy with his housing, Johnny is busy getting ready for his role as the demon barber Todd.

 

The 43-year-old is said to be practising by making cut-throat gestures with real razors.

 

But our source adds: "We were worried after the trailer requests that he may be a bit of a diva, but he is really laidback and chilled."

 

The musical - which also stars Helena Bonham Carter - is directed by her fiance Tim Burton who has worked with Johnny before on films including Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow and Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.

 

Let's hope Johnny isn't taking any singing tips from croaky Keith!

Johnny Depp is spending the holidays with his nose in a book. As part of his production company's three-year deal with King's Initial Entertainment Group, Depp has acquired film rights to three books: Inamorata (about a 1920s Harvard grad student who falls for a psychic he's trying to prove a fraud), Affected Provincial's Companion (a collection of essays about being a modern gentleman) and The People's Act of Love (about an escapee from a Siberian prison camp). No word on whether he plans star in any of them, but he has been cast in the Warner Bros. adaptation of Gregory David Roberts' Shantaram (about a man seeking a new start in India), which he is also producing with Brad Pitt's Plan B.

JOHNNY DEPP: BIG IN JAPAN

 

Johnny Depp has always held out when it comes to doing those lucrative Japanese advertising campaigns that many celebrities LOVE collecting big paychecks for. But he caved in recently and did a big ad campaign for Kiddy Land - a chain of upscale toy stores.

 

Johnny's Pirates of the Caribbean movies have made him a huge favorite with children and the fact that he has two of his own, softened him up.

Gigantic billboards of Depp are now featured in all the stores.
