Upcoming Appearances / Movies OpeningsNEWS(Click Here to submit news, articles & rumors)Guards blow Depp privacyJohnny Depp and a male companion had a secluded dinner at the Sunset Tower Bar — but it was his own security which gave him away. The two sat alone Tuesday night on the empty patio at the West Hollywood hotel bar, which had been cleared of other tables because of earlier rain. Diners didn’t notice the pair outside, but did spot two large bodyguards lurking. When two women dining in the restaurant stood up to head to the patio to smoke, one bodyguard stopped them and said, “No pictures.” A witness told Page Six, “One of the women was surprised and laughed, thinking the bodyguard was trying to be flirty with her.” But when the guard followed them outside and stood in between her and the table of men, she noticed Depp. She was heard saying, “I would have never known” (if the bodyguards hadn’t caused more of a spectacle than the A-list star). The bodyguard pulled a curtain around the men, but Depp soon asked him to open it again. Depp was seen leaving alone in a black SUV, with his standout security duo by his side.'21 Jump Street' to premiere as SXSW centerpieceThe upcoming remaking of "21 Jump Street" will premiere as the centerpiece of Austin's South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival.The action-comedy stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in a big screen version of the 1980s Johnny Depp TV series. It will screen March 12 at SXSW, which runs March 9-17. The conference also announced its closing film will be "Big Easy Express," a documentary about a group of touring folk bands including Mumford & Sons. SXSW earlier announced that "The Cabin in the Woods," an anticipated horror film co-written by Joss Whedon, will open the festival. On Wednesday, the festival announced its full slate of 130 features at SXSW 2012. Those were selected from a record 1,957 feature-length submissions. "Rango" gets brief re-release after Oscar nodThe Johnny Depp-voiced "Rango," which scored an Oscar nomination for best animated feature film on Tuesday, will receive an extremely limited re-release later this month, according to Paramount.The film, which follows the comic adventures of a heroic chameleon in the Wild West, will return to one theater: the ArcLight Hollywood for a one-week run, beginning January 27. The film, released in March 2011, has taken in more than $230 million worldwide. In addition to the Academy Awards nominated, "Rango" has won the National Board of Review and Critics' Choice Movie awards for Best Animated Feature. Vanessa Paradis Addresses Johnny Depp 'Rumors'In the days since PEOPLE reported that Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis's 14-year relationship is all but finished, the actress has been spotted solo, even hitting the red carpet alone at the premiere of her new film Café de Flore.She kept mum at her movie premiere, but on Tuesday, French TV panelist Arianne Massenet asked Paradis, 39, the million-dollar question on Le Grand Journal. "The press is going on about this separation with Johnny Depp ... How do you handle these rumors?" asked Massenet [PEOPLE's French correspondent translated the interview]. "It depends which rumor," Paradis replied. "Here, this is one which could hurt my family. After that ... they say that we have 52 houses in France, we separate in winter, we get married every summer. Me, I'm in my 12th pregnancy." "All this is, I don't know, because the Queen of England didn't lose her teeth this week and there's nothing happening," Paradis continues of the coverage of her relationship with Depp, 48. "And to finish the rumors off, they are false?" asked the program's host, Michel Denisot. "Yes, they are false," she replied. Which rumors she was referring to remains unclear (or perhaps lost in translation?) But multiple sources tell PEOPLE in this week's cover story that Depp and Paradis's relationship is all but officially over. "It's so sad," says one insider. The couple have two children together, Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, 9. Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis: Separate ContinentsWith their nearly 14-year relationship at a breaking point, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have been 5,000 miles apart this week.French actress-singer Paradis, 39, has spent the last few days in Paris, where on Friday she shopped in the Marais district and went for a fitting at Chanel's headquarters on Rue Cambon. While Paradis is expected at Monday's Paris premiere of her film Café de Flore, Depp, 48, has been keeping a low profile in Los Angeles. He was spotted sporting a fedora and driving a luxury sports car Thursday, and he showed up later that night at the Hollywood Museum, according to sources. He's due in New Mexico next month to start production on his new movie, The Lone Ranger. Earlier in the week, a solo Paradis was spotted browsing in an art gallery and buying DVDs at the department store FNAC, where she picked out a box set of films by classic comedy director Billy Wilder – highlighted by The Seven-Year Itch, about a married man tempted to stray due to the charms of Marilyn Monroe. Paradis's initial home base in Paris was the Hotel Costes, where Depp fell in love with her at first sight in 1998. "I saw that back and that neck, and then she turned around and I saw those eyes – and boom! My life as a single man was done," Depp told the Daily Mail last year. Later in the week, Paradis switched hotels. Reps for Depp and Paradis have still not commented on the state of their relationship. As PEOPLE reports in this week's cover story, the never-wed couple – parents to Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, 9 – have been leading separate lives, with some sources in their circle saying they have already split. For more on the state of the Depp-Paradis relationship, pick up this week's PEOPLE, on newsstands now.
'Dark Shadows': Johnny Depp in vampire makeup - yikes!(Photo) Oh my. We just heard the news that Johnny Depp split with longtime partner Vanessa Paradis after fourteen years, and now we're getting a new look at Depp in vampire makeup. We're not going to make a joke about this being the reason for the split because we respect how difficult this time must be for his family, but we're going to admit that it crossed our minds."Dark Shadows" hits theaters on May 11th, and Depp stars as Barnabas the vampire. The film is based on long-running soap opera of the same name. One of us in the Zap2it office might have loved the nineties re-working of the show so much that she named her birds Barnabas and Victoria after the main characters, so we really want this film to be good. That makeup isn't exactly filling us with confidence. Here's what's happening in the film. In 1752, Joshua and Naomi Collins set sail from Liverpool, England to America with their young son Barnabas. They brought with them the family curse. Two decades later and Barnabas pretty much runs the town of Collinsport, Maine. He runs Collinwood Manor, he's rich and powerful ... until he breaks the heart of the witch Angelique (Eva Green). She turns him into a vampire and buries him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is freed and finds the world of 1972 very different. His estate is in ruins and the remnants of the Collins family are harboring dark secrets. What do you guys think of Depp's makeup? Are you horrified in a good way or a bad way? Who's Loving Johnny Depp Now, With Vanessa Paradis (Allegedly) Out of the Picture?It's not all bad news for Johnny Depp these days.Amid growing speculation that his relationship with Vanessa Paradis is all but officially kaput, the actor just got a big dose of happy—and some serious bragging rights at the next Hollywood A-list mixer... See, America still loves its Depp more than any other thespian. The star finished atop this year's Harris Poll, earning the title of America's Favorite Actor after a year in which he starred in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Rango and The Rum Diary (OK, so not everything he touched was gold). This is the second straight year he's finished in the No. 1 slot in the survey, which rarely matches up with conventional wisdom. (The results are based on 2,237 adults surveyed online between Dec.5 and 12.) For instance, Denzel Washington and Clint Eastwood, neither of whom actually acted in a movie in 2011, tied for runner-up. Tom Hanks came in at No. 4, while the late John Wayne was right behind at No. 5. Wayne, who died in 1979, is the only actor to have remained on the Harris List since it began in 1994. George Clooney, Sandra Bullock (the only lady on this list), Harrison Ford, Will Smith and Adam Sandler rounded out the top 10. That means no Ryan Gosling. No Julia Roberts. And no Brangelina, although Angelina Jolie was America's fifth favorite in last year's results. Anyone else ready to demand a do-over? Johnny Depp & Vanessa Paradis: Anatomy of a (Possible) SplitHas Johnny Depp's relationship with Vanessa Paradis walked the proverbial plank?Such rumors have been running rampant for a couple of weeks now, but they really came to a head today in the wake of People's claim that the Pirates of the Caribbean star and his longtime love are all but officially kaput.

Johnny Depp & Vanessa Paradis Living 'Sad' Separate LivesOnce upon a time, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis lived a quiet family life far from the spotlight in the sleepy French hamlet of Plan-de-la-Tour.But that time is no more, and now the couple largely reside in L.A. – when they are in the same city at all. Depp, 48, and Paradis, 39, who are parents to Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, 9, have not appeared side-by-side on a red carpet for more than a year. Multiple sources tell PEOPLE in this week's cover story that the relationship is all but officially finished. In fact, some in their circle say the couple of nearly 14 years have already split. Says one insider: "It's so sad." For much more on this story, including details on Depp's solo nights out, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday. "Lone Ranger" finally set to start shootingAfter trudging through a rough patch, production is finally set to begin on Disney's Johnny Depp-starring reboot of "The Lone Ranger."Principal photography for the big-budget film will start in February in New Mexico, Governor Susana Martinez and the New Mexico Film Office announced Friday. Production for director Gore Verbinski's movie is planned in and around Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Shiprock and other locations in New Mexico. It is expected to continue in the state until the middle of August. New Mexico officials said they've been working with Walt Disney Studios for more than a year to bring "The Lone Ranger" to New Mexico. "'The Lone Ranger' is proof that New Mexico's film industry is alive and well," Martinez said. "As we continue to build upon our reputation as a premier film production center, we are pleased to welcome 'The Lone Ranger' to our state." "We couldn't be happier to bring 'The Lone Ranger' production to New Mexico," producer Jerry Bruckheimer said in a statement. "The state's world-class crews, local talent and spectacular locations will be critical in helping us take this iconic story and legendary characters to new heights." Production was originally supposed to start in October, but in August, Disney stopped the project due to budget concerns. The budget was initially estimated to be between $250 million and $275 million, but Disney, Verbinski and Bruckheimer trimmed it to approximately $215 million. In mid-October, Disney announced that the project was back on. "#THELONERANGER....and Tonto...will ride again," Bruckheimer later tweeted. "Excited for another adventure with Johnny Depp and Gore Verbinski. Hi-Yo Silver, Away." "The Lone Ranger" is due to hit theaters May 31, 2013. It had originally been scheduled for release on December 21, 2012. "The Lone Ranger" features Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as John Reid, a.k.a. the Lone Ranger. Golden Globe Quote"Oh boy, he's so much fun." — Johnny Depp, referring to show host Ricky Gervais who took digs at Depp's box-office dud "The Tourist," and referred to "recreational drug use" by Depp.2012 People's Choice Awards winners listFavorite Movie Actor: Johnny DeppFavorite Animated Movie Voice: Johnny Depp as Rango (Rango) Johnny Depp & Barack Obama: The Alice In Wonderland-Inspired Meeting We Never Knew About!(Photo) Hey, Johnny Depp is always the people's choice. Why not the president's choice, as well?So it's fittingly odd and unusual that a visit the movie star made to the White House two years ago—in full Mad Hatter regalia, no less—wasn't reported until now. Curiouser and curiouser... It turns out that Depp, Tim Burton and Mia Wasikowska made appearances at the White House's Alice in Wonderland-themed Halloween party in 2009, where roughly 2,000 kids frolicked on the North Lawn and got to see Barack and Michelle Obama. But only 200 very special guests made it inside the White House for an invitation-only party featuring the Alice VIPS, all of whom dressed for the occasion. (Burton appears to have gone as the Knave of Hearts.) And considering Alice in Wonderland didn't hit theaters until March 2010, the insiders got quite the up-close-and-personal sneak preview. Dueling versions of this so-called hush-hush event are now swirling in the media, after Jody Kantor supposedly blew the lid off the party in her new book, The Obamas, writing, "White House officials were so nervous about how a splashy, Hollywood-esque party would look to jobless Americans—or their representatives in Congress, who would soon vote on health care—that the event was not discussed publicly and Burton's and Depp's contributions went unacknowledged." White House press secretary Jay Carney denies that hosting Depp & Co. was some kind of covert op, telling the Washington Post, "This was an event for military children and their families inside the White House, where the press came, photographs were taken." Meanwhile, another White House spokesman, Eric Schultz, says he doesn't know who took the photo of the Obamas with Depp, Burton and Wasikowska that's now making the rounds, because the first family didn't issue any high-profile pics from the event themselves. So it turns out the Obamas are just like us—huge Johnny Depp fans. Though we would have tweeted the heck out of this party. Pitt top celeb money maker in 2011Brad Pitt has been named the Top Money-Making Star of 2011, according to an annual survey of movie theatre owners.Bosses at Quigley Publishing Company have asked theatre owners and film buyers to vote for their top 10 box office generators and this year exhibitors credited Pitt with bringing in more traffic than any other celebrity due to his acting and/or vocal appearances in Moneyball, The Tree of Life, and Happy Feet Two. Coming in at number two was Pitt's pal George Clooney for both The Ides of March and The Descendants, and last year's winner, Johnny Depp, fell to third with The Rum Diary, Rango and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Rounding out the group were Leonardo DiCaprio at four with J. Edgar and Matt Damon at five. Also making the list, in ranking order, were Sandra Bullock, Bradley Cooper, Robert Downey, Jr., Meryl Streep and Ben Stiller. Depp tops celeb Christmas guest pollJohnny Depp has topped a new poll of celebrities fans would most like to spend the holidays with.The Pirates of the Caribbean star has been named the dream Christmas dinner guest by more than 1,000 movie fans in a poll conducted by Britain's Sky Movies HD Christmas Channel. The Hollywood hunk saw off competition from fellow actors including George Clooney and Tom Hanks, who finished second and third respectively. Love Actually star Emma Thompson was the top British nominee and highest-ranked actress at number four, while Friends favourite Jennifer Aniston was a popular pick in fifth place. Ian Lewis, director of Sky Movies, says, "The guys led at the top of the league and while Hanks and Clooney would both undoubtedly light up anyone's Christmas, Depp was the clear winner for U.K. film fans. He is this year's ultimate Christmas cracker." The 10 most popular festive guests are as follows: 1. Johnny Depp Natalie Portman tops IMDb's most-viewed list"Black Swan" actresses Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have danced past Johnny Depp on IMDb's annual list of most-viewed actors.The movie website released the list, which is based on the number of views received by actors' profile pages, on Tuesday. "Pirates of the Caribbean" star, who is now No. 3, had held the No. 1 perch for six of the past seven years. "The Help" actress Emma Stone is No. 4. "Thor" actor Chris Hemsworth -- the only man to appear in the top 10 for the first time -- is No. 5. Next up is "Cowboys & Aliens" actress Olivia Wilde at No. 6, followed by Jennifer Lawrence, the Oscar-nominated star of "Winter's Bone," at No. 7. Lawrence cracked the top 100 for the first time this year. George Clooney, who has received Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations for his starring role in "The Descendants," is at No. 8. Rounding out the list are "Drive" star Ryan Gosling and Christian Bale, whose upcoming film "The Dark Knight Rises" is due July 20. The number of women on this year's list -- five -- is two more than the number on the 2010 list. For the first time in four years, no "Twilight" actors are on the IMDb list -- despite "Breaking Dawn -- Part 1" being one of the highest-grossing movies of the year. Kristen Stewart, who was No. 2 on last year's list, fell to No. 12. Robert Pattinson, who topped the list in 2009 and came in third in 2010, dropped to #26. IMDb Managing Editor Keith Simanton chalked up Portman's topping of the list to her Best Actress Oscar for "Black Swan" and roles in three films in 2011: "No Strings Attached," "Your Highness" and "Thor." Additionally, Portman was a regular fixture in the tabloids this year, as she had a baby boy in June. As for Kunis, the "Friends With Benefits" actress's No. 2 spot was perhaps boosted by her attendance at a Marine Corps Ball in November, Simanton said. While stationed in Afghanistan, the soldier asked out Kunis through a video on YouTube. Theron, Depp top 2012 hot listCharlize Theron, Kate Beckinsale, Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr. have topped a new list to find the sexiest movie stars of next year's blockbusters.Editors at leading movie news and ticket website Fandango.com asked film fans to select the stars that turn them on in the most-anticipated releases of 2012 and the foursome came top of the separate male and female hot lists. Theron, who will terrify as the evil queen in Snow White & The Huntsman, has topped the women's list of sexiest female stars, beating Gravity's Sandra Bullock and Kate Beckinsale, the star of 2012 movies Total Recall, Underworld 4 and Contraband, while the British actress tops the men's list, ahead of The Avengers' Scarlett Johansson. Female poll respondents picked Johnny Depp as the sexiest guy, ahead of George Clooney, while the men gave Robert Downey, Jr. the edge over Clooney. The Fandango Hot List is focused on next year's films, and performers whose upcoming movies do not have a 2012 release date were not included.
