JOHNNY DEPP IS BACK AT HIS HOME IN FRANCE

It’s been awhile, but Johnny Depp finally went back to his home in France. The visit started rumors of a reconciliation with his partner Vanessa Paradis but that would be presumptuous. Johnny has recently been linked with his 26 year old Rum Diary costar Amber Heard because she’s been visiting him on the Mexico set of his movie “The Lone Ranger.” Lately, it’s said they have taken “a break” from each other. Insiders feel it’s improbable that Johnny will get back together with Vanessa, and most likely he’s spending time at home with his children Jack, 10, and Lily, 13. Johnny and Vanessa remain cordial for the sake of the kids.

JOHNNY DEPP IS KISSING THE PUBLICIST WHO ANNOUNCED HIS SPLIT WITH VANESSA PARADIS

This is the photo that launched all the rumors that Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis had gone their separate ways. Johnny was photographed last year kissing his publicist Robin Baum on the lips and the pair seemed very chummy. Keep in mind, Robin had been traveling with Johnny on all his movie promotion tours and appearances world wide. Vanessa had stopped appearing at red carpet events with Johnny and vice versa. Robin’s job kept her very close to Johnny so it was easy to cover up a romance. Robin in said to be in her late 30’s, divorced, and mother of two. She is also rumored to have been romantically involved with her former client Stephen Dorff. So how WEIRD is it that ROBIN is the spokesperson who today announced that Johnny and Vanessa ARE split up after all?

VANESSA PARADIS IS HERE – BUT WHERE’S JOHNNY?

Vanessa Paradis is just as evasive as Johnny Depp when it comes to their relationship. Vanessa and Johnny haven’t been seen at an event together for a year and a half. She goes to her movie premiers alone and so does he. But they both insist the rumors about them splitting are not true. Maybe they’re just taking time off and really don’t know if it’s over. And for the sake of their kids, Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, 9, they’re in no hurry to make a decision. Above, Vanessa turned up for Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel collection at the Chateau de Versailles in France, looking adorable, as always.

SEE “HEARTBREAKER” FOR ENTERTAINING ESCAPISM AND JUST PLAIN FUN

Weeks ago we wrote about Vanessa Paradis and her new movie “Heartbreaker,” coming out this month. We posted the movie’s trailer and it looked like a funny romantic comedy that we hoped to see. Tonight we SAW it, and it more than lived up to our expectations. What a delight! Exotic locations and a very entertaining story that had the audience laughing out loud. The “Dirty Dancing “ scenes were our favorites. Here’s a romantic comedy that men will enjoy too. (Partly because the women are very sexy and the men are average looking at best.) It’s WAY funnier and more original than American romantic comedies.

JOHNNY DEPP’S LOVE VANESSA PARADIS HAS A MOVIE OF HER OWN: “HEARTBREAKER”

We always know what Johnny Depp is up to – but do you know what his partner Vanessa Paradis has been doing? She has a romantic comedy called “Heartbreaker” coming out in September. It’s about a man who makes a living breaking up romances. Friends or parents hire him to seduce women and break up ill-advised relationships. He’s an expert, and very well paid until he makes the mistake of falling for one of his assignments. Vanessa looks adorable and we’re looking forward to it.

VANESSA PARADIS: ANY EXCUSE FOR A PARTY

There’s one place that Johnny Depp’s almost-wife Vanessa Paradis nearly ALWAYS visits when she’s in Los Angeles. It’s not a fancy clothing store – it’s a PARTY store! Apparently she and Johnny and their kids Lily-Rose, 11, and Jack, 8, go all out for the holidays. Vanessa loves the old fashioned Vine-American Party Store that’s been in Hollywood since 1934. She stocks up on all the holiday, birthday, and party decorations, balloons, favors, pinatas, not to mention magic tricks, disguises, and costumes. It’s a fun-loving family. (Above, at Disneyland)

JOHNNY DEPP AND VANESSA PARADIS: LOVERS AND COSTARS

The party’s always better when Johnny Depp shows up. Johnny and his partner Vanessa Paradis looked adorable at the Chanel soiree in Cannes. The pair are preparing to costar in their first movie together called “My American Lover.” It’s the story of the French feminist Simone de Beauvoir and her affair in 1949 with American writer Nelson Algren. Hard-boiled Algren lived in Chicago and wrote about “pimps, prostitutes, drug addicts, politicians, and hoodlums.” In 1950 he became famous for writing “The Man with the Golden Arm.” Sounds like a role Johnny can sink his teeth into.

BRAD AND ANGELINA VISIT JOHNNY DEPP AT HOME

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are pictured here visiting Johnny Depp at his house in Venice, Italy. Angelina and Johnny are currently filming “The Tourist” there. Presumably this friendly visit will squash those crazy rumors that Johnny’s girlfriend Vanessa Paradis ordered him to quit the movie because she’s afraid Angelina will seduce him. One of Brad’s first acting jobs was on Johnny’s TV series “21 Jump Street” and at the time he idolized Johnny. Brad was so influenced by Johnny that he started dressing like him, wearing plaid shirts and a black leather jacket.
