Carrey Opens Up About Depression
imdb.com

Actor Jim Carrey has opened up about his long-running battle with depression, describing it as a "low level of despair". The Canadian Liar Liar star admits he spent years on antidepressant drugs at a time when he was trying to convince the world that his life was good. In a 60 Minutes interview which aired in America, he says, "I was on Prozac for a long time. I'm not sure, it may have helped me out for a little bit. People stay on it forever. It felt like a low level of despair.. You're not getting any answers, but you're living okay and you can smile at the office." Carrey now stays away from coffee, cigarettes and Prozac. He adds, "I had to get off at a certain point, because I realized that everything's just okay." In the interview, Carrey also shows off his secret getaway up a hillside behind his Los Angeles mansion. He reveals, "This is where I hang out with Buddha and Krishna and all those guys. I'm a Buddhist, I'm a Muslim, I'm a Christian, I'm whatever you want me to be. It all comes down to the same thing."

DUMBEST QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK:

This one, for Jim Carrey, about his character in "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events."

QUESTION: Can Count Olaf kick Lord Voldemort's ass?

ANSWER: Carrey at first looks stunned, then laughs at his character being compared to the Harry Potter nemesis. "Count Olaf would have someone else do it maybe. He has friends, with hooked-hands and nowhere to go. No, he has crazy, weird, disciple followers, he'd probably send out there in a Manson-type way."

He tried defending the poor journalist as others grumbled.
"No. It's a good question. We'll have to put it to Claymation to see who wins."

Waterdown, Ont. -- Movie star Jim Carrey flew from Los Angeles last night to be
with his sister in this southern Ontario community near Hamilton after learning
one of her three sons had been killed in a traffic accident.

Carrey tells Americans to take a chill-pill

WASHINGTON: America's funny man, actor Jim Carrey has a very serious message to his fellow countrymen - he wants them to sit back and learn how to enjoy their lives.

The 'Bruce Almighty' star is apparently convinced that the changing American culture which emphasizes the importance of wealth and money, is not only destroying the American dream, but is also putting relationships and families in jeopardy.

So, the Canadian-born actor is telling people to take a little time off and learn how to relax, instead on concentrating on making movie.

"It (the American dream) used to be get a house, get a car, put your kids through school and save something for retirement. Now it's be Bill Gates or you lose. There's a ton of pressure on people growing up in America to have gargantuan success and it destroys relationships and affects the family. It's not just America, but it's very exaggerated here," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey Couple Up

First came the sightings, then the rumors. Now a source close to the two finally confirms it: Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy are indeed a couple.

"They are very happy," the source tells PEOPLE.

But even though the pair was spotted at an L.A. restaurant last month, don’t think they’re going public. When McCarthy, 33, was asked recently on The View if she was dating a "well-known comedian who makes funny faces," she replied, “No comment. Does that ever work?"

Rumors that the two were an item have been percolating since late last year. When asked by PEOPLE at the December premiere of Fun With Dick and Jane whether he was seeing McCarthy, Carrey, 44, paused before saying: "I like her, she's a nice person."

Reps for both stars declined to comment.

McCarthy divorced her husband of five years, director John Asher, last year. She is currently promoting her newest book, Life Laughs: The Naked Truth About Motherhood, Marriage and Moving On.

Okay ~ I like these two. That means it'll either be a set up or they're both really horrible in person.

""It (the American dream) used to be get a house, get a car, put your kids through school and save something for retirement. Now it's be Bill Gates or you lose.

It's not just America, but it's very exaggerated here," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying"

Okay. I agree. But, coming from him, isn't this a bit... rich? I mean, this is the guy who carried around a make-believe cheque he created in his wallet, for $10million all the years he was trying to make it big?

It does seem like a good match, although I've heard MANY reports that Jim Carrey is a complete freak and is a total a-hole to his dates and girlfriends, so good luck to her

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, first public appearance (06/??/2006)

They make an interesting duo!

I've read the same thing, Soho, along with other snippets here and there that lead me to wonder whether comedians might be harder to live with than other actors. Steve Martin ( him) I read a while back was pretty much an a**hole to his wife, plus a few others (sorry my brain is blanking). Is there something about always having to be manically "on" that has a flip side of moody and mean?

Wonder if those 2 just crack each other up all day. She is a goofball.........almost like a female comedian.

I've long believed that geniuses (in whatever medium) are hardwired differently than "normal" people. Something has to be different to allow them to create such wonderful things (art, music, science, comedy) Most people learn how to control their gift so they can function in society. Many have people who help them (family, managers, etc) but those who cannot control their "gift"--find themselves in a downward spiral (Belushi, Chris Farley) or whacked out and living in Bahrain (Michael Jackson, that one's for you!)

ITA, Hoya

Poofball,

His wife was Victoria Tennant, she divorced him and remarried within a year, I think.

Few others = Bernadette Peters (who he totally skewered in LA Story - played my Marilu Henner).

Also dated Helena Bonham Carter.

And I love him too!

Thx, Kcat!

Great point - I have known some comedians and I totally agree. They are often always either totally hyper attention whores or (as Ted alluded to in his column once) completely depressed. The standup types are the worst. I think a lot of times the manic "on" stuff hides some serious issues. (Did you guys ever see Punchline? Love that movie and it does a good job exploring this issue)

Although, for the record, when I met Steve Martin, he was extremely nice and down to earth (one of the hyper but nice types). But then again I'm not his wife.

- yep apparently that's them

I remember Bill Murray talking once about how it can be hard for people to live with comedians because they expect them to be funny and happy all the time when in fact, they have down times in moods like anyone else. But ITA with the point that many of them also have issues which lead to the more manic mood swings.

I'm rootin' for these two. I think she has a great sense of humor that could handle his 'other' side. The women he's been involved with before are great at what they do but personality wise - well, I could see where it would be a bad mix with Carrey.

Don't so much have an opinion either way about Jim Carrey dating Jenny McCarthy. Have read little things here and there that she is a wild child (I guess who isn't in H-wood?) but she seems to have the same sense of humor as JC and at least she doesn't take herself too seriously. In the end though, there's just something about her that's kind of groddy, IMO.

Jim Carrey & Jenny McCarthy Get Serious
FRIDAY JULY 07, 2006 07:00AM EST
people.com

From a romantic helicopter ride to a Radiohead concert date night, the goofball duo of Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy are getting serious with each other, PEOPLE reports in its new issue.

Holding hands at the June 29 Radiohead concert in Los Angeles, the pair "were having so much fun," says a fellow concertgoer. "It was like you were watching a romantic comedy."

When three mothers approached Carrey to tell him their kids were fans of his 1994 film The Mask, the actor whipped around, eyes bulging, and gave them his trademark “Sssssssssmokin’!” – prompting a fit of giggles from all the women, including his date.

What’s smokin' in Carrey's life these days is his romance with McCarthy, 33, which began quietly a few months ago but has shot into public view in recent weeks as the rubber-faced pair step out everywhere from a June 16 helicopter ride in Santa Monica to a Fiona Apple concert a few days later.

The 44-year-old comedian, says a source close to him, "is very happy."

As is McCarthy, who has been uncharacteristically mum about her new love. "I'm so brutally honest and tell people everything about my personal life, it's really hard not to," she told Access Hollywood, adding that Carrey is "an amazing person."

The couple have more than just a silly streak in common: Carrey has a daughter, 18-year-old Jane, with first wife Melissa Womer; McCarthy has a son, 4-year-old Evan, with director John Asher. (McCarthy and Asher filed for divorce last August.)

For now, the twosome seem focused on simply having a good time. "They were laughing and smiling," says an observer at the Radiohead concert. "They just look like such a great couple."

She's got her hands full.

Carrey & McCarthy Laugh Off Engagement Rumors


New celebrity couple Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy have laughed off reports they are engaged and plan to elope in September. The couple have been dating quietly since December and only went public with their romance last month. Last week, American publication the National Enquirer claimed the couple were planning to make it official and elope to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico over the Labor Day holiday weekend. However, Carrey's representative says, "They are not engaged. It's a rumor." McCarthy's spokesperson reiterates, "They are not engaged." The funnywoman, 33, split from husband John Asher last August, while Carrey has been married twice before to Melissa Womer and Lauren Holly. The couple have remained tight-lipped over their relationship, but McCarthy recently revealed, "He's an amazing person and that's all I have to say. I'm very happy."

Notes from all over
Will wedding bells ring for Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy? The funny man and funny lady want to elope to Los Cabos, Mexico on Labor Day, according to the Star. “Jim calls Jenny 10 times a day,” an “insider” tells the tab. “Jenny’s been busting at the seams to scream her love from the rooftops,” the insider adds, but Carrey — who had a failed romance with Renee Zellweger and a failed marriage to Lauren Holly — is worried that too much media attention may wreck things.

Jenny McCarthy: 'Very, Very Happy' with Jim

Jenny McCarthy is opening up about her romance with funnyman Jim Carrey, saying she's happy – but not ready to tie the knot.

"Our dynamic is great. I'm very, very happy. It's a lot of laughing," the actress told PEOPLE at the celebration for the 40th anniversary of Caesars Palace Las Vegas on Wednesday.

When asked about a possible wedding, McCarthy, who has been spending time with Carrey, 44, in the capital of quickie weddings, Las Vegas, said, "No, there is no marriage on my mind – at all."

The weekend of July 28, the couple stayed at the $25,000-a-night Sky Villa in Sin City's Palms Casino Resort. During their three-day getaway, they enjoyed in-room massages and hit the high-roller lounge for some blackjack.

"They looked very happy and very into each other," a witness tells PEOPLE.

McCarthy and Carrey quietly started dating eight months ago, but they've been stepping out in public recently with dates including a June 16 helicopter ride in Santa Monica and outings to Fiona Apple and Radiohead concerts.

Carrey is "an amazing person," McCarthy told Access Hollywood in July.

Plane crazy, Carrey


Guess those "Fun With Dick and Jane" residuals aren't quite cutting it. Movie comic Jim Carrey's Gulfstream V can be temporarily yours for the bargain price of $192,000 a day. Yesterday, Trans-Exec Private Jets, located in Van Nuys, Calif., confirmed that the jet, registered with the Federal Aviation Administration to James Eugene Carrey, is available to charter for $8,000 an hour. Carrey purchased the plane, for a reported $41 million, in early 2001.

Another 'Ace Ventura' Sequel in the Works
Those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it
August 15 2006

Have the examples of "Dumber and Dumberer" and "Son of the Mask" taught studios nothing?

Apparently not.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Morgan Creek is moving forward on a sequel to 1994's "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and "Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls," two of the comedies that put Jim Carrey on the map.

The only problem: If the story in the trades is to be trusted, the film is being written without any necessary involvement on Carrey's part.

Jeff Sank and brothers Jason and Justin Heimberg have been selected by the production company to write "Ace 3," which will -- you guessed it -- focus on the famous pet detective's son, who will take over the family business.

The first "Ace Ventura" film made just under $110 million worldwide, while the sequel made under $215 million around the globe.

Released in 2003, the Carrey-free "Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd" failed to make it to $40 million worldwide, while the worldwide take for "Son of the Mask" did a little better, but couldn't make it past $60 million worldwide.

That's just something to think about, Breckin Meyer, when somebody calls you to star in "Ace 3."

GOING STRONG

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, who have been tickling each other's funny bones since early this year, make it a low-key affair in Brentwood, Calif., on Tuesday.

Cameron Diaz and Jim Carrey play A Little Game together. The Mask duo are set to reunite for Focus Features' comedy-drama about a happily married couple who pretend to break up--only to discover that maybe they weren't so perfect for each other in the first place. The tricks start flying next month in New York.

LOVE MATCH

The man of many faces, Jim Carrey cracks up girlfriend Jenny McCarthy as the couple watches Saturday's men's semifinal matches at the U.S. Open tennis tournament in New York.

Carrey, Diaz Don't Got "Game"

It's Game over for Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz.

The A-listers, who were planning to reunite onscreen for the first time since 1994's smash The Mask, have pulled out of Focus Features' dramedy A Little Game Without Consequence less than a month before filming was set to get underway, the studio confirmed Wednesday.

A source connected to the project told E! Online that Carrey and Diaz's departure was the result of the usual bugaboo of creative differences--specifically the actors were said to be unhappy with the latest version of the script written by the movie's Italian director, Gabriele Muccino.

Based on a French play by Jean Dell and Gerald Sibleyras, A Little Game Without Consequence follows a model couple who pretend to separate only to find their friends never thought they were good together in the first place. The story was adapted into the 2004 French comedy Un Petit Jeu Sans Consequence.

According to the source, Carrey and Diaz signed on pending a rewrite to address problems in the third act without ruining the film's dark tone. But the draft turned in by Muccino apparently took a different tact. The revised screenplay also reportedly irked Game's producers, who wanted to make the high-concept plot more commercial.

Following Carrey and Diaz's exit, Muccino also dropped out.

"Due to amicable but substantive creative differences, Focus Features and producers Alain Chabat and Stephanie Danan are no longer making A Little Game with Gabriele Muccino," the studio said in a statement. "We are actively seeking a suitable replacement and plan to move forward with the project when that happens."

Various reports have indicated that Focus honcho James Schamus, who wrote The Ice Storm, is tackling the latest rewrite in hopes of getting the project back on track.

Focus, which produced Carrey's quirky romantic drama Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, will likely have to go forward without the funnyman, whose career had hiccupped in recent months.

Carrey, 44, remains one of the highest paid actors in the industry, often earning $20 million or more per film. However, his last vehicle, 2005's Fun with Dick and Jane, tanked at the box office, and he hasn't been able to get any of his planned projects off the ground this year.

Paramount scuttled two Carrey movies before shooting could begin--Used Guys, which would have paired Carrey with Ben Stiller; and Ripley's Believe It Or Not, helmed by Tim Burton--citing a laundry list of issues, most notably escalating costs and script concerns.

As a result, Carrey made a dramatic move, firing his longtime agents at United Talent Agency, who had repped him since he was a sketch player on In Living Color, and hiring Creative Artists Agency to get him back in the game, if not A Little Game.

Next up for Carrey is the mystery thriller The Number 23, due out next year. He is also lending his voice to a big-screen animated version of Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who. (He will not, however, reprise his title role in the third Ace Ventura sequel that is in the works.)

As for Diaz, the 34-year-old will be seen opposite Kate Winslet and Jude Law in the romantic comedy The Holiday, due out Dec. 8 and is back as Princess Fiona in DreamWorks' highly anticipated Shrek the Third, set for a May 18, 2007 release.

Jenny McCarthy: No Plans to Wed Jim Carrey
TUESDAY DECEMBER 05, 2006 02:20PM EST
By Stephen M. Silverman, People.com

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey, who quietly started dating at the end of last year, plan on keeping the status quo.

"We're happy with the way things are," the 1994 Playboy Playmate of the Year tells TV's Extra. "We have no plans to get married."

The couple recently returned from Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's wedding in Rome: "I was very happy to be there with him," McCarthy, 34, said of her Italian trip with Carrey, 44.

The romance between the two shot into public view over the summer as the rubber-faced pair stepped out everywhere from a June 16 helicopter ride in Santa Monica to a Fiona Apple concert a few days later, PEOPLE reported in July.

Holding hands at a June 29 Radiohead concert in Los Angeles, the pair "were having so much fun," said a fellow concertgoer. "It was like you were watching a romantic comedy."

Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy Go Balls Out For Their X-Mas Shindig


I want to be part of a rich, comedic power-couple. Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey consistently feel the need to rub it in my face that I AM NOT by holding an unbelievable, no-holds barred party of indescribable holiday fun and excitement in Los Angeles. ContactMusic.com reports:

The couple have invited over 200 people, including TOM CRUISE and KATIE HOLMES and BEN STILLER and wife CHRISTINE TAYLOR. Carrey, who played THE GRINCH in the feature film version of DR SEUSS' HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS, and MCCarthy have also hired real reindeer for the bash. The pair have spared no expense and have also had a custom-made ice-skating rink built just for the party. US Olympic skater SASHA COHEN has been booked to perform and guests have been asked to bring children's gifts for a toy drive.


If they were REALLY so funny, they'd have had Sacha Baron Cohen dressed like Sasha Cohen ice-skating. HA!

Jim Carrey: It's 'Real' with Jenny McCarthy
people.aol.com

How can you tell Jim Carrey is in love? He was only 10 minutes into a press conference for his new movie, The Number 23, when he mentioned girlfriend Jenny McCarthy.

Referring to a large, gothic-style fake tattoo he wore for the film, Carrey, 45, proudly told reporters in Beverly Hills on Friday, "Jenny liked it! It was weird – it's amazing what a tattoo does for a girl."

Carrey, who has dated Renée Zellweger and was married to Lauren Holly, said of McCarthy, 34: "I feel that our relationship happened at a time that I am more ready than I have ever been in my life to have a relationship."

He continued, "We also encourage each other. We're both on the same path, so it's really – real."

He and McCarthy first started getting serious over the summer, when they went on dates ranging from a helicopter ride in Santa Monica to a Radiohead concert in Los Angeles.

"This is the happiest I've ever seen Jim, and we've been friends for a really long time," said The Number 23 director Joel Schumacher. Turning to Carrey, he added, "And I've seen you when you've been really suffering in love."

Carrey admitted, "The only thing that has ever consumed me is love. Feeling like, 'What is it? How do I get it?' All of those things have consumed my mind from time to time."

Love So Blind

JIM Carrey and Jenny McCarthy are so in love, they didn't notice when a hit-and-run driver smashed their parked scooter. Carrey and his Playmate girlfriend were dining on steak and truffle fries at Prime 112 in South Beach Tuesday afternoon. "They started making out all over each other," said a witness. "They were so into each other that they didn't see their scooter, which was parked out front, get hit by a car. It was damaged and dented. The car sped away." The couple rolled the scooter back to their hotel. A rep for Carrey didn't return calls.

That's kind of sweet when you think about it.

They do seem genuine and these hard times I need to see a celebrity couple that doesn't get married or feel the need to pop out babies to ensure their marriage's legitimacy.

Jim Carrey Spends the 4th With His Loved Ones
Filed under: Jenny McCarthy , Jim Carrey



Jim Carrey spent his Fourth of July at the beach in Malibu with his girlfriend Jenny McCarthy, her son Evan, and his daughter Jane. The actor has clearly found a soul-mate in Jenny, and seems to dote on her son which is hugely important to Jenny.

And, according to Jenny, the pair's plans for the next month or so will include more of the same. "Beach beach beach beach beach," she told People magazine of their summer agenda. "We like to sit and do nothing. Stare at the ocean and go 'ohmmm'." While their romance has been going strong for over a year now, model and actress Jenny, 34, insists marriage is not on the horizon.

"There will be no wedding," she confirms. "Goldie (Hawn) and Kurt (Russell) have made it, and that's what we can strive for." And she's not planning on adding to her brood, either. "I'm completely fine not having any more children. I completely love mine, and I love giving him all of my attention."

The couple, or at least Jim, seems to be a huge dog lover as well. He was seen nuzzling up to a couple of them during the beach outing.
