Pee Wee Herman

CAN YOU IMAGINE JOHNNY DEPP STARRING AS PEE-WEE HERMAN?

Paul Reubens says he revived “Pee-wee’s Playhouse” at the Nokia theater in LA because he wants to drum up enough interest to make another Pee-wee movie. The show was an immediate hit – his fans really MISSED Pee-wee! The success of the stage production hopefully will lead to a studio investing money so Paul can direct an elaborate “Wizard of Oz” type epic adventure. He wants a big budget Pee-wee this time around. Believe it or not, Paul says he is even considering having ANOTHER actor star as Pee-wee, and he already approached Johnny Depp. Johnny’s thinking it over. We can’t imagine anyone doing it BUT Paul, but Johnny is a provocative second choice.

FANS ARE STILL SPENDING BIG TIME AT THE HOLLYWOOD COLLECTOR'S SHOW

The Hollywood Collectors Show in Burbank seems to be flourishing – perhaps because of the economic downturn. Past-their-prime celebrities have realized how much cash they can make and suddenly it’s hip to sell autographs and photos at $20 a pop and up. Excited fans lined up around the block to meet the three most popular stars featured in this past weekend’s show – Paul Reubens, Joan Collins, and Tony Curtis. Even Daniel Baldwin was there. Insiders estimate that Paul Reubens (above, looking adorable, with a masked fan) raked in the most bucks because he sold loads of Pee Wee Herman videos and movies besides photos etc. “Over $10,000 per day.”
