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.

JOHNNY DEPP IS KEEPING 500 PEOPLE WARM

We happen to be quite fond of Johnny Depp so we’re not at all surprised when he does something beyond the call of duty. He’s been filming “Pirates of the Caribbean 4” at Pinewood Studios in the UK, and the weather has been bitterly cold. After noticing a lot of teeth chattering and shivering among his coworkers, Johnny ordered warm and waterproof hiking jackets for EVERYONE on the production. According to The Sun, at $100 apiece, the bill came out to nearly $50,000 for the large cast and crew of 500.

PENELOPE CRUZ’S “PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN” BODY DOUBLE IS HER SISTER MONICA!

We were wondering how on earth Penelope Cruz would be able to finish her scenes in “Pirates of the Caribbean 4” since she has become so obviously pregnant. Lacing herself into the costumes is one challenge- but how about the action scenes? It so happens Penelope’s lookalike sister Monica Cruz (photo above) is stepping in as a body double for her. Monica can stand in for the sexy scenes where Penelope has to look slim or the active scenes where she has move quickly. And they look so much alike, no one will know the difference!

PENELOPE CRUZ IS GOING TO HAVE A HARD TIME SQUEEZING HERSELF INTO PIRATE COSTUMES

There’s more of Penelope Cruz to love now that she’s five months pregnant and it will be a challenge for wardrobe people on “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” Last summer when she was filming with Johnny Depp in Hawaii she managed to squeeze into her laced up costumes. But yesterday she landed in London to resume filming and Jack Sparrow’s love interest is several sizes larger. Above, she was photographed in Madrid shopping for maternity clothes last week.

EVEN JOHNNY DEPP CAN’T WIN ‘EM ALL

Keith Richards looks like he might be consoling his buddy Johnny Depp over losing the starring role as Freddie Mercury. But Johnny’s dance card is full – he’s in the process of finishing the 4th Pirates of the Caribbean movie (he still has his makeup on in this photo) and has three more films about to be released: “The Tourist,”The Rum Diary,” and “Rango.” Plus he has 13 movies currently in development.

NEWLYWED PENELOPE CRUZ IS JOHNNY DEPP’S NEMESIS IN NEW “PIRATES” MOVIE

Freshly married Penelope Cruz reported for work on the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie “On Stranger Tides” in Maui and slipped into her sexy pirate attire. She plays Blackbeard the pirate’s vicious daughter who takes Johnny Depp’s character Jack Sparrow hostage. Keep in mind the LAST Pirates of the Caribbean movie was the 8th biggest grossing movie of all time. Rumors abound that the new Mrs Javier Bardem is pregnant – let’s hope the boat scenes on the high seas don’t upset her tummy.
