Flop Johnny Depp The Rum Diary

EVEN JOHNNY DEPP COULDN’T SAVE “THE RUM DIARY”

Johnny Depp has been EVERYWHERE promoting “The Rum Diary” (magazines, TV, even colleges) which opened this weekend, but it flopped anyway. Depp has long been a fan of alcoholic drugged-up journalist Hunter S Thompson, and he was responsible for getting the movie made. Apparently moviegoers do not share Johnny’s fascination with self-indulgent Thompson. It only pulled in around five million dollars and could be the biggest flop of Johnny’s career. This still of Johnny from the movie, which takes place in the late 50’s, almost – almost – makes us want to see it.

Fashion Johnny Depp The Rum Diary

JOHNNY DEPP: A THREE PIECE SUIT AND NAIL POLISH TO MATCH

Johnny Depp got all dressed up for the premier of his movie “The Rum Diary” in New York. You don’t see Johnny, 48, in a three piece suit very often. That blue nail polish matching his shirt has all the indications of a fad alert. We’re thinking other men might pick up on this, so Chanel might be advised to introduce Depp Blue to their collection of nail colors.

Damien Echols Johnny Depp Shamrock Social Club Tattoos West Memphis Three

JOHNNY DEPP IS PALLING AROUND WITH DAMIEN ECHOLS OF THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE

Last Friday afternoon, Johnny Depp and Damien Echols of the West Memphis Three were seen on Sunset Strip. You may remember, Johnny worked tirelessly to get the three young men who spent 18 years in jail for murder, free, because the evidence was so flimsy. Actually Damien’s teenage goth style probably contributed to their conviction more than anything. (Try to see the two West Memphis Three documentaries on HBO – a third one is on the way.) Johnny and Damien visited Depp’s favorite tattoo parlor – Shamrock Social Club, and an observer told us Damien seemed to be in a great mood and it looked like they both got tattoos. They do have a lot to celebrate.

Johnny Depp Penelope Cruz Pirates of the Caribbean Walk of Fame

JOHNNY DEPP INTRODUCED PENELOPE CRUZ TO THE WALK OF FAME

Johnny Depp seems to be inching way from his “Pirates” look and assuming a slightly cowboy flair, judging by this photo from Hollywood Blvd. Johnny presented his Pirates of the Caribbean costar Penelope Cruz with her star on the Walk of Fame. We can’t think of a better way to receive a star.

Asta Johnny Depp Myrna Loy The Thin Man William Powell

“THE THIN MAN” RETURNS WITH JOHNNY DEPP AS NICK CHARLES

Vintage movie fans might be interested to learn that Johnny Depp is set to star in a remake of “The Thin Man,” which starred William Powell and Myrna Loy as the smart and witty Nick and Nora Charles. The original movie spawned a popular series of films about the hard boiled detective who “retired” when he married an heiress, but the well dressed, cocktail swilling socialites couldn’t resist solving crimes together. With the help, of course, of their wire fox terrier, (and our favorite movie dog) Asta. Hopefully the new version will be as clever as the original.

Johnny Depp Justin Bieber Rango Teeth

WHAT DO JOHNNY DEPP AND CHARLIE SHEEN HAVE IN COMMON? (BESIDES HUGE SALARIES)

We didn’t realize that Johnny Depp had a mouthful of gold teeth like Charlie Sheen. It seems to work for most of his roles (pirates, gangsters, Mad Hatter, etc) including his new animated movie Rango, because he simply provides a voice. Johnny’s little girl Lily Rose, 11, was thrilled when Justin Bieber gave Johnny a pair of his purple sunglasses as a gift for her.

Angelina Jolie Johnny Depp Make up Sexiest Man Alive The Tourist

JOHNNY DEPP AND ANGELINA JOLIE WERE KEPT FAR APART WHILE FILMING “THE TOURIST”

Former Sexiest Man Alive, Johnny Depp arrived at “The Tourist” premier wearing a tasteful touch of eye make up. He does have that rock star edge. We were amused at the maneuvering the movie’s producers went through to keep Johnny and Angelina Jolie from being photographed together having a friendly off-camera chat while making the movie in Italy. (They assumed paparazzi would immediately link them as having an affair.)The pair had separate transportation at all times, windows on their boats were blacked out, and Angelina stayed in a house with her family while Johnny stayed in a far –away hotel. There was no socializing and no homewrecking!

HOLLYWOOD HISTORY AUCTION DEFIES THE RECESSION


We’re often amazed at what Hollywood memorabilia sells for and we have a big auction by Profiles in History coming up this month in Beverly Hills just in time for Christmas. If you’re shopping for the person who has everything, he or she might be pleasantly surprised to receive Johnny Depp’s Edward Scissorhands costume which is expected to go for $100 to 200 thousand dollars. For the hard-core collector, the incredibly beautiful original poster for Universal’s 1933 classic “The Invisible Man,” is expected to fetch a cool $200 to 300 thousand dollars. The event takes place December 17 and 18 at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills.

George Clooney Jay Silverheels Johnny Depp The Lone Ranger Tonto

JOHNNY DEPP IS TONTO, BUT WHO WILL PLAY THE LONE RANGER?

Ever since we heard that Johnny Depp is playing Tonto in Jerry Bruckheimer’s 2012 version of “The Lone Ranger,” we confess we’ve been drooling at the prospect. We thought no one could ever fill the moccasins of Jay Silverheels – our childhood crush – but Johnny is as good as it gets. Depp, you’ll recall, has a Cherokee grandmother, and both he and Jay were from Canada. This certainly increases the importance of the loyal kemo-sabe, leaving one to wonder who will be cast as The Lone Ranger. George Clooney was under consideration a few years ago, but considering the necessary athleticism, seems unlikely. Any ideas?

Alain Delon Birthday France

FRENCH ACTOR ALAIN DELON IS NOW 75

We haven’t thought about Alain Delon for decades, but we were reminded by The Huffington Post that Delon celebrated his 75th birthday on November 8. During the 60’s and 70’s Delon was the French version of Johnny Depp. Not only was he drop dead gorgeous, but he had great European style. Envious men everywhere used to insist he was gay, but his many affairs and marriages and children cast doubt on that notion. We do recall seeing him sitting in a cafe at the height of his fame and we were stunned by his extravagant beauty.
