Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Stage Venice Family Photo Op

jolie-pitt-family-in-venice-photos-2

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie seem to be taking their show of unity on a world tour! When they didn’t appear together in public for a month, reports surfaced that they were on the verge of a split. In an attempt to squash those reports, Brangelina are staging family photos “like a military operation”, sources say. In fact, the happy family photo ops in Venice were all staged, reports The New York Post.

A spy said, “They are usually very shy about being photo graphed, but now they’re making a point of being seen in public as a happy family unit. They’re making a statement. They want the world to know the reports are wrong and they are strong.”

The couple arrived in Venice with their children Tuesday, where Jolie is filming “The Tourist” with Johnny Depp. Since then they have been photographed out daily as one big happy family. Angelina had planned to travel alone for filming, but Brad insisted on tagging along. While a picture maybe worth a thousand words, I’m not too sure the words Brangelina are trying to convey are coming across that way. Despite the pictures, whispers are suggesting that the split between the couple is only a matter of time.

Johnny Depp NOT Dead – Latest Victim Of Death Hoax

tim burton tribute 181109

This is what happens when fools living in their mom’s basement takes over the job of real news reporting! After being induced to sleep last night with the help of my friend Bloody Mary, I was awoken to a barrage of text messages from family members and friends claiming Johnny Depp was dead! Oh no, I thought, and I jumped out of bed and stumbled my drunken tail to the computer to find out for myself only to see that its not true. Johnny Depp is NOT dead! Instead, Mr. Depp is the latest celebrity to be hit by the death hoax. Phew! I would have hated for 2010 to start off with the death of the ‘Sexiest Man Alive.’

Per E!:

“He isn’t dead,” Depp’s rep, Robin Baum, told E! News. “He’s fine.”

According to reports, a website made a fake web page for CNN News with the headline “Johnny Depp Dies After Fatal Car Crash,” claiming his car was found alongside a road outside Bordeaux, France, with the guard rail embedded deep inside the car. Images of the supposed car wreckage were also posted with the so-called news. The website claimed that CNN’s Melissa Gray and Harris Whitback wrote this report, but there were many obvious mistakes that made it clear they didn’t. Not only did the dateline of the fraud web page say March 25, 2004, but right after it said ‘alcohol’ caused the incident, there was a story below it about British explorers who escaped from caves in Mexico, which nowhere linked to the story. Whoever the losers are with apparently no life who had the time to come up with the story, it apparently worked at least for a while, as fans have been tweeting “RIP Johnny Depp,” making it a Twitter trending topic.

The good news is our beloved Jack Sparrow is still alive and kicking. The bad news is the people behind the fake story should consider going into hiding for the next couple of months. God knows what his fans will do to the people behind the site if they find them!

Johnny Depp is a Unicorn

johnny-depp-on-gq

Says GQ magazine:

“Johnny Depp’s a unicorn—a really glamorous, one-of-a-kind eccentric. Usually guys try to fit in; they don’t want to get criticized. At any red-carpet event, there are going to be guys who look spiffy in their Prada or Armani tuxedos, but you wait for Johnny Depp, because he’s always going to look super-groovy and unconventional. He wears great man jewelry. He doesn’t shy away from color. He’s always peeking through his amazing hair. It doesn’t matter if Johnny Depp’s lying in a ditch—he’s always going to look incredible.”

True. Really there is no news value and this is simply gratuitous. Enjoy Johnny Depp shirtless on the cover of GQ!

People’s Sexiest Man Alive NOT Robert Pattinson, It’s Johnny Depp!

Johnny Depp reprises his role as People’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2009. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star was bestowed the title of Sexiest Man Alive in 2003.

Peoples Sexiest Man Alive 2009 - Johnny Depp

Robert Pattinson was falsely given the title yesterday as a fake cover of the issue ran rampant over the net. (Click HERE to read the full story of Robert Pattinson People’s Sexiest Man Alive 2009 Hoax). While the Twilight Saga heartthrob DID make the list, he didn’t score the #1 spot.

*Ryan Reynolds- Came second. All true gentlemen should.
*Jake Gyllenhaal – That’s right kittens, my hairy beast made the top 5.
*Bradley Cooper- Really? This guy’s sexy face is the same look of constipation.
*Robert Downey Jr. – Ah, yes. The Cinderella of Blow. Good for him.
*David Beckham – Balls. Digitally enhanced hairless ones.
*Gilles Marini – He kinda has a hairy, foreign version of Jakey thing going on… so I will let it slide.
*The Men of Glee – Ummm…Crista might be able to explain this one.
*Nick Cannon – BWHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! This is a joke right? How much did The Keeper of Mariah’s Hello Kitty Sticker Collection and purse holder have to shell out to nab a spot on the list?
*Adam Lambert – Gays are so hot right now.

John Cho, Chris Daughtry, Jerry O’Connell, John Legend and Sparklepants finished the list.

Yet, as pointed out by Michael K over at Dlisted, where the hell is Anderson Cooper? Harold (of the Harold and Kumar films) was deemed a must hump, but the Silver Fox was snubbed? Mimi’s assistant whored his way onto the list but Anderson Cooper robbed of his glory? I mean Johnny Depp in his pirate garb makes me smile in various regions, but I am writing a letter to the mag demanding a RE-DO.

Johnny Depp Sexier Than Robert Pattinson?

robert-pattinson-belly-peek-a-boo-1

Esquire Magazine has released their ‘Sexiest Stars’ of all time and topping the list for the males this year is not who you think.

It seems that the folks over at Empire have a thing for pirates and not vampires like the rest of the lust-filled world. Johnny Depp took the top spot leaving poor Robert Pattinson in the sloppy seconds position.

Calm down Twi-Hards!!! I know you’re launching your boycott of Esquire as we speak, but it’s OK. You’ll get your Sparklepants fill in four short weeks.

Via The Examiner:

“Johnny Depp was paired with Megan Fox at the top of Empire magazine’s ‘Sexiest’ poll, Fox beating out Jolie for the female category and Depp taking over Pattinson for #1 sexiest male.
The Pirates Of The Caribbean star was no match for sexy R.Patz, who settled in at second place over Robert Downey, Jr.

Honestly? Megan Fox over Angelina Jolie? Over Angela Lansbury for that matter? She’s made like three compeltely terrible movies. And Robert Downy Jr. over Brad Pitt? Of all time?!? Am I the only person who remembers what Iron Man looked like in the 1980′s?

Note by The Dame: Yes Twihards. I know the photo of Robert shirtless is a photoshopped creation, but I figured I would post it for funsies.

Johnny Depp Schools Spoiled Celebs

johnny-depp-as-jack-sparrow-1

I am digging into my mail bag today because it’s Monday and I am still hung over and wish I was at home watching “Are You Being Served” and living on green tea. A reader sent Depp some pirate pants and got a thank you courtesy of my favorite fantasy bang. She wanted to share the story but asked to remain anonymous. This one touched my gin soaked little heart so enjoy….

Hey Dame!

I read your post on celebrities who abuse their power (click here to see the list of Top 10 Celebs Who Abuse Their Power). Of course I was a bit surprised to see the demands and almost inhumane treatment of others but I wanted to share a bit of a bright spot in Hollywood. I don’t know if it is really newsworthy but I thought I’d share.

I made a pair of pants for Johnny Depp back when he was doing the pirate movies (Pirates of the Caribbean) he was doing. I do a lot of costumes for local civil war reenactments and I thought I’d try my hand pirate-wear. I sent the pants to him a month or so later I received a hand written thank you card in the mail from Johnny himself. At first I thought it might have been done by his assistant but I compared the signatures with a autograph and it looks real.

Even though there are real a$$holes out there are still a few good ones left in the biz.

PS….I love you! You are so funny!

Air Kisses,

*****

Thanks to the reader who sent this in and shall not be named as per her request.

Robert Pattinson to Replace Johnny Depp in Next ‘Pirates of the Caribbean!?!’

robert-pattinson-pirates-2robert-pattinson-pirates-1

Okay ladies, now would be the time to grab your paper bags for the panic attacks you’re about to experience! Rumor has it that Johnny Depp could be on his way out of the popular “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies. The recent exit of Disney studio chief Dick Cook has left Depp so upset, according to MTV, that he no longer cares to continue to play Captain Jack Sparrow.

Depp is already signed up for the the next installment, “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” and the studio had planned to give the greenlight to a 5th and 6th installment as well. However, with the talk that Johnny might not be returning to the franchise, the studio is preparing to replace him if and when he decides to bow out of playing the character. This most likely wouldn’t happen until the 5th movie, so Disney is prepared to offer him as much money as it takes to keep him for the 4th.

The idea is to continue making the flicks with different pirate characters with big actor names to back them. Some of the names being tossed around are James Franco, Ryan Gosling, and Robert Pattinson. The rumored story for the 4th movie involves a pirate’s search for the elusive Fountain of Youth. The story makes room for a younger newcomer, a character who is said to help the pirates in their search for the mythic location.

While this could end up Orlando Bloom’s role in the next movie, it seems possible that Disney just could use that character instead as a replacement for Jack Sparrow. Pattinson was once being considered for a role as Sparrow’s brother (read about Disney hunting Robert Pattinson by clicking here.) Could he step up and be Jack himself?

Tom Cruise Axed from Riding Heath Ledger’s Coat Tails

tom-cruise

I suddenly have new respect for Terry Gilliam. The director of Heath Ledger’s last film, “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus,” wisely snubbed Tom Cruise from taking the role left vacant by Heath’s passing.

Cruise and his agents were hot to score the role left behind by the beloved Aussie. When deciding what to do with the film after Ledger died Gilliam was faced with either recasting or scrapping the entire project. To honor Heath and his last work, he decided to recast. When word spread that the project was going to continue, Tom and his gaggle of minions pushed to get the role.

“I know there was a period when Tom’s agents were keen. The thing is, I was only interested in people who were friends of Heath. Simple as that. I wanted to keep it in the family.”

As we all know Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell finished the work Heath left in hiatus. Each of them knew and were friends with Heath. I believe Johnny Depp was the closest of the three to him. Depp revealed during an interview with Vanity Fair that he named a beach on his island after him he called “Heath’s Place.” (Click HERE to read the “Johnny Depp Names a Beach After Heath Ledger” article.)

Good for Terry. Tom would have ruined it for me and I could just picture him constantly having to stand on box to be tall enough.

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus Trailer – Video

Here it is kittens. The first trailer for “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” has hit the web. Of course I scooped it up for you. However, like the trailer for “The Lovely Bones” this probably won’t last long so enjoy it while you can.

“The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” was Heath Ledger’s last film. He sadly passed away while making the movie and Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law each stepped in to finish the job. Lets hope it enjoys much success and people enjoy the work for more than just the obvious reason.

Tim Burton’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ Trailer – See It Here!

It doesn’t come out until March 2010, yet Tim Burton’s trailer for his much anticipated “Alice in Wonderland” feature film is blowing up YouTube.

The movie stars a plethora of Hollywood’s who’s-who (including Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter, and “New Moon’s” Michael Sheen). However, like all Burton films, the lead belongs to Johnny Depp-the last of the dying breed of movie stars.

We brought you pictures of the cast a while ago (see those again by clicking here). What do you think? Like all Burton films, I am totally creeped out. However, I had nightmares for a year after seeing Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers video for ‘Don’t Come Around Here No More’. This may have something to do with it. Seriously-she turns into a cake and they cut and serve her. That’s even too twisted for me.
