Sassy Smith — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 16:10:00 GMT

He probably won't be nominated for an Oscar for this role, but I'm guessing Johnny Depp's kids will think it's pretty cool that their dad will be joining the cast of Spongebob Squarepants for a special TV presentation!

The New York Daily News is reporting that heartthrob Depp, 45, will joining the cast of the Nickelodeon TV special titled Spongebob vs. The Big One.

No airdate has been announced yet, but Depp will be voicing the character of "Jack Kahuna Laguna," a surfer dude. Totally awesome!

Johnny has two children with Vanessa Paradis - Lily Rose, 9, and Jack, 6.

Britney in Sex and the City Sequel?

Karl Erikson — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 20:03:00 GMT

We recently told you about the "Sex and the City" sequel, complete with all the cast regulars and mom Sarah Jessica Parker getting an enormous $30-$50 million payday. Now the word on the street is that SJP wants to cast Britney Spears, another Famecrawler mommy, in the movie!

Sarah Jesica thinks the "Circus" star will be perfectly cast as one of Carrie Bradshaw's young relatives. "My idea is to have someone like Britney move to New York as my cousin or niece and Carrie would show her the ropes," SJP told a group of friends.

Another link in the track for Britney's comeback train? We shall see.

Johnny Depp Poisoned Himself With Booze

Sassy Smith — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 14:09:00 GMT

Johnny Depp is usually a very private person but has revealed that in order to deal with his rise to fame in the early 90s, he partied hard and drank a lot to escape from the glaring spotlight of stardom.

Depp said, "I never wanted to be the guy people looked at. I felt I could only be myself when I was alone, that I turned into some kind of novelty. The only way I could get through that time was to drink."

He added, "I poisoned myself with alcohol for years but I've never been into drugs int he way it was sometimes made out."

Even now, the 45-year-old actor admits he's still insecure about his abilities on screen, regardless of having critically-acclaimed performances under his belt and three Academy Award nominations.

"I don't think of myself as being a celebrity, it's too mortifying. I have a hard time watching myself on screen and it's getting worse. I can't tell whether my work is good or not." Oh trust me Johnny, you're good. Very good.

I wonder if he'll share that not-so-flattering part of his life with his kids when they get older? He'll probably have to, considering his children could just 'google' their dad and find out all kinds of tidbits!

Vanessa Paradis Talks About Marrying Johnny Depp

Women the world over are jealous of Vanessa Paradis. Such is life when you're the girlfriend of the world's sexiest man, Johnny Depp. And rumors have been circulating for years about her and Johnny getting married. Vanessa says the rumors are false.

"Each summer people say we're supposed to be getting married," Vanessa says. "But we don't talk about it that much." The couple have been together for 10 years now, and they have two children together, Jack, 6, and Lily Rose, 9. "He's got me, and he knows he's got me."

Vanessa, 35, says, "I love the romance of 'let's get married,' but then, when you have it so perfect...I mean, I'm more married than anybody can be. We have two kids. Maybe one day, but it's something I can really do without."

When asked if Vanessa has managed to tame the movie star, she says, "Tamed. What's that? Like a lion? Nooo, no, we did it to each other. Maybe I'm a good girlfriend because I'm his girlfriend. I'm not sure I'd be a good girlfriend to anyone else...same for him. It's something that's natural, obvious, and beautiful."

She totally gets how women want to mob Depp, too. "I understand. I want to mob him all the time, I do. He's a very charming person."

Hard to believe Depp got his start on "21 Jump Street" all those years ago. I played the giant teddy bear in a 3rd grade production of "The Nutcracker" to rave reviews and didn't get squat.

Johnny Depp Making $64 Million For 4th Pirates Movie

Karl Erikson — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 16:49:00 GMT

Super celebrity and father Johnny Depp is reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in another "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie and the man doesn't come cheap. Previously, Tom Hanks held the record payout for a movie - he's being paid $58 million for the sequel to "The Da Vinci Code," "Angels and Demons." But step back in awe at Johnny's sequel paycheck.

Depp is getting $64 million for a 4th "Pirates" movie. Yeah, $64 MILLION. For a movie.

A source said, "It's a lot of swag but they just can't make another without Sparrow."

Since the first three "Pirates" movies made Disney almost $3 billion, I guess $64 million is just a drop in the bucket. But I don't think the sequels were nearly as good as the original. In fact, I think they kind of blew chunks. Still, money talks and bullshit walks, as they say.

And that much money can buy a lot of bullshit.

Johnny Depp Cast as The Mad Hatter (Amongst Other Roles)

Karl Erikson — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 20:50:00 GMT

Lots of casting news regarding daddy Johnny Depp. First of all, he's been cast as The Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland." I think it's a prerequisite for all Tim Burton films that Johnny Depp is somewhere in there, and I think they make a great pair. Depp will be joined by Australian actress Mia Wasikowska, who has been cast as Alice.

Depp has also agreed to do a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film. I don't know why, the last one kind of blew, but Jack Sparrow will be back. They're still trying to get Orlando Bloom from what I hear.

AND Depp will play Tonto in an upcoming Lone Ranger film.

So why haven't we heard officially about him playing The Riddler in another Batman movie? That would make my week.

Johnny Depp has been cast as The Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s upcoming adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The project marks the latest collaboration between the Golden Globe-winning actor and Burton, who have previously teamed up for feature films like Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and 2007’s Sweeney Todd, for which Johnny earned an Oscar nomination.

10 Things You DON'T Know About Johnny Depp

Sassy Smith — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 18:09:00 GMT

Johnny Depp used to be a bit of a bad boy (well more like a very bad boy), some of his movies were not big hits (aka flops) and he's been known to have gotten down and dirty with a few Hollywood starlets. However, the 45-year-old actor has tamed his wild ways, settled down with the love of his life, Vanessa Paradis, made two beautiful children with Vanessa - Lily Rose, 9, and son Jack, 6 - and his career is definitely hot (so is he). Here are 10 things that you may not know about the Pirates of the Caribbean swashbuckler:

From The Post showbiz:

1. Johnny was born the youngest of four children and moved from Kentucky to Florida when he was five. He says: “Before I was 15, we moved 30 times, once just from one house to the house next door. I asked my mom why. I never did understand her explanation.”

2. Johnny was a bit of a rebel as a youngster. He took up smoking at 12, lost his virginity at 13 and was soon dabbling in drugs and booze. He was also suspended from school for mooning a teacher before dropping out at 16 to join garage band The Kids.

3. Johnny played lead slide guitar on Oasis track ‘Fade In-Out’ when the band’s own guitarist was three sheets to the wind. Legend has it he stepped in at the last minute and nailed the lead on one take.

4. Johnny dated a string of beauties including Kate Moss and Winona Ryder but says he is prone to ruining his relationships with jealous rages. He tells us: “Oh boy. Oh f***. I was a professional at it. Oh, the scenarios I dreamed up. Oh f***. Oh. I mean, world-class.”

5. What first attracted Johnny to sultry singer Vanessa Paradis? The sight of her back! He spotted her in the lobby of a Parisian hotel seven years ago and recalls: “Whammo, man, across the room, amazing, incredible, awesome. The back, the back, I saw the back, and I was reduced to [mush].”

6. Johnny has such a close relationship with Tim Burton that he would have sex with an aardvark if the director demanded it.

7. Jack Sparrow’s line in Pirates of the Caribbean “...and then they made me their chief,” is lifted from comedy series The Fast Show, in which Johnny once famously appeared. “I think it’s one of the most brilliant things I’ve ever seen in any medium,” he gushes.

8. How excited was Johnny with his Oscar nominations for Finding Neverland and Pirates Of The Caribbean? Um... not very. He attended the ceremony after his Pirates nod, but moaned: “All Vanessa and I could think of was: ‘When and where can we go smoke?’ And: ‘Where can we get a drink?’ And: ‘When is it over?’ And: ‘Please, don’t let me win’.”

9. Johnny likes to avoid the press by checking into hotels using ridiculous names. He says: “I used to use the name Mr. Stench; it was funny to be in a posh hotel and hear a very proper concierge call out, ‘Mr. Stench, please’.” He has also used Emma Roid but denies reports that he stayed at any establishment under the name ‘Donkey Penis’.

10. Johnny dared What’s Eating Gilbert Grape co- star Leonardo DiCaprio to sniff a rancid pickled egg and paid him $500 when he did the deed.

I'm not sure if he'll want to share all of the juicy details of his past life with his kids as they get older but with the monster that is the internets, he might have a hard time denying such things!

Johnny Depp and The Kid Rock Out

Johnny Depp Not Asked to Play Riddler...Dammit

Karl Erikson — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 15:37:00 GMT

According to Cinematical, superstar actor and dad Johnny Depp, 45, is NOT cast as The Riddler in the next Batman movie. In fact, the film isn't yet in the casting phase. As we showed you here at Famecrawler, Johnny was recently in Pompano Beach, Florida performing with his old ban The Kids. Well, while he was there, Depp did a radio interview.

He was asked about The Riddler gig and Johnny replied, "Oh yeah, I heard about that. Not that I know of. It seems like it'd be a fun gig for a while, yeah."

Since director Christopher Nolan isn't even signed to do the movie yet, we can only HOPE that Depp gets signed to the next film. No doubt there WILL be another Batman movie. It just passed the $500 million mark, and it's only the second movie in history to do that. ("Titanic" was the other.)
