Johnny Depp and long time partner Vanessa Paradis will reportedly marry on June 14th. The two have been together 10 years and have two children. Vanessa has supposedly told Johnny that she’s ready to make it legal.
Life & Style claims the wedding will take place in Georgia, so most of Johnny’s family can easily attend.
A Source said, “They wanted to make it convenient for Johnny’s family in Florida, so the wedding will likely take place in Georgia’s Tybee Island. They’re going to send out invitations in a few weeks.”
Depp who was married once before in the 80’s, has previously said of his relationship with Vanessa, “For all intents and purposes, we are married,” adding that, “if [Vanessa] ever said, ‘Hey, let’s get hitched,’ I would do it in a second.”
Perhaps that time has come.

Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell will each take turns becoming multiple incarnations of Heath’s character transformed, in the “magical” world of “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus”, according to AintItCoolNews.com.
Ledger was shooting The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus in London just days before he was found dead in his New York apartment last month.
Director Terry Gilliam was determined to salvage the unfinished movie and has asked Depp, Law and Farrell to pay tribute to Ledger by taking turns to play his character in the scenes the Australian never got to shoot. There is no word as to when the film will resume production.
On a side note. Heath ledger’s last film character The Joker, from this summer’s Batman movie has been unveiled just a week after his funeral.
Ledger’s grieving family have backed the release of the Mattel action figure to go with the upcoming movie ‘The Dark Knight.’
Two versions of the Ledger imaged Joker doll will hit toy stores in May.

Johnny Depp is very grateful to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. In March 2007, Depp’s daughter Lily-Rose spent nine days at Great Ormond Street after being stricken with E.coli poisoning that led to her developing kidney failure. Lily was staying with Depp, 43, and her mother Vanessa Paradis, 34, in a rented mansion in Richmond, Surrey, while he filmed Sweeney Todd, when she contracted the bug. Filming of Sweeney Todd had to be halted so that Depp could be with his daughter as her conditioned worsened and it was feared she could die from the ailment.
Since then Depp has shown his gratitude with some wonderful gestures.
On November 29, unbeknownst to the public, Depp spent four hours at the hospital telling bedtime stories to patients dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow after having his Pirates Of The Caribbean costume flown over from Los Angeles. Can you imagine!
Last week he invited five Ormond Street doctors and nurses to the party for the London premiere of his film Sweeney Todd.
And yesterday Depp again secretly visited Great Ormond Street Hospital to donate $2 million of his own money to thank staff for saving his daughter’s life.
Disney, which made the Pirates Of The Caribbean films, will also today donate $20 million to Great Ormond Street, which needs to raise $340 million in five years to redevelop twothirds of the hospital site.

Funnyman on screen, Will Ferrell, apparently doesn’t have much of a sense of humor when approached by his devoted fans. The ex-SNL alumnus turned movie star was voted the rudest celebrity when it comes to signing autographs.
The Emmy and Golden Globe nominated American comedian, actor and writer is reluctant to stop for fans and is impolite when he does, according to Autograph magazine’s 2007 list of “10 Best and 10 Worst Hollywood Signers.” The list is based on rankings from autograph collectors in New York, California and Europe.
Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire, who seems mild-mannered and helpful in the movies, is not necessarily so when cornered by fans, according to the publication, coming in a close second. “Tobey has a bit of an attitude, but he will sign,” said Lon Strickler, 49, a Baltimore autograph collector.
“But Will Ferrell, I don’t know what his problem is. He just tries to ignore people.”
Meanwhile, for the third year in a row, Johnny Depp was voted the most gracious and approachable celebrity when fans ask for autographs.
New York autograph dealer Anthony Risi told Autograph the soft-spoken Depp “likes to talk to fans and get to know them while signing.”
“He’ll sign more than one item when he has time, too,” he said.
Russell Crowe, ranked among the nastiest signers last year, jumped onto the the nicest list this year. “At one time he was terrible, but I saw him a couple of months ago and he was taking pictures with fans and everything,” Strickler said. “Someone must have said something.” Sounds like a pretty fickle list to me but I think the top 3 on the nicest list live up to their reputations as intelligent gentlemen.

Comedy actor PAUL REUBEN is attempting to reprise his most famous character to make two new Pee-Wee Herman movies. It’s been nearly 20 years since Pee-wee appeared in a feature film of his own.
Just months after vowing never to play the comic creation that defined his career again, Reubens is working on two new scripts - the first due for release in 2009, 19 years after he retired the beloved character.
He explains his change of heart to MTV, “I feel like the time is really ripe right now. A lot of the kids who grew up with the show are young adults. The college kids are middle-aged adults. I feel like I have enough of a built-in audience to make back an investment.”
Of the two movies planned one is an extension of the famed TV show, “Pee-wee’s Playhouse,” only this story would take Pee-wee and his friends outside the house for the first time to explore “puppet land”.
The second film, which Reubens called “the dark Pee Wee movie,” basically the story of Pee-wee Herman becoming famous as a singer,” he explained. “He has a hit single and gets brought out to Hollywood to make musical movies, kind of like they did with Elvis. It all kind of goes downhill from there for Pee-wee. He turns into a monster.
Whether the 55-year-old Reubens can realistically don Pee-wee’s red bow tie again was answered for him after his first appearance in character in 15 years at Spike TV’s Guys Choice Awards. Despite being quite nervous, Reubens said the character “came right back” to him. Still, Reubens said he had a backup plan for the Pee-wee movies should he not be up for the part. “My second option is to have Johnny Depp play Pee-wee,” he said. Pie-in-the-sky casting or a realistic plan, Reubens insisted that he’s even spoken to Depp about it, saying that the actor told him, “Let me think about it.”
According to Variety magazine, Johnny Depp has signed a deal to step into the shoes of one of the most notorious gangsters in US history, according to industry reports. Johnny Depp - The Pirates of the Caribbean star who is no stranger to playing infamous criminals will reportedly be awash in blood again as he picks up a machine gun to play John Dillinger, the notorious Depression-era bank robber famed for his slick heists during the public enemy era of early 1930s America.
Variety reports that Depp met with “Collateral” & “Heat” director Michael Mann to discuss an adaptation of Brian Burroughs’ 2004 book Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933-34.
This may be a combination of destiny. Michael Mann was thought to have been considering a spot in the director’s chair for the Tom Cruise-starring spy thriller Edwin A Salt. But then Depp became available after he was to have starred in Warner/Initial Entertainment’s “Shantaram” followed by Warner Independent’s “The Rum Diaries,” but both of those projects were postponed last month, leaving the star with an opening in his schedule.
Along with Michael Mann, Kevin Misher is on board as producer; Robert De Niro and his partner Jane Rosenthal, who originally optioned the book, have been involved as exec producers; and the studio is looking at a March start in Chicago if all the elements come together.
Perhaps they were twins by different mothers? But Helena Bonham Carter is convinced that her life partner and father of her 1.5 children Tim Burton, is in love with her because she is a female version of his longtime pal Johnny Depp. Helena who is expecting a second child with Burton, and known to be eccentric insists she and Depp, who co-star in the director’s new Sweeney Todd musical, share looks and character traits.
Helena explains,
“We have the same frown line and there’s certain similarities between the two of us, according to Tim - we always like to camouflage ourselves to the hilt when it comes to playing parts and we both loathe watching ourselves.
“And we’re both pale and tubercular and have big eyes. Tim’s always said we would be great in a silent movie. I think he definitely thinks I should’ve been in a silent movie because I talk too much.”
Helena is very quotable in case you didn’t know, some of her recent sound bytes lately regarding boyfriend Tim Burton’s new movie musical Sweeny Todd include:
Helena Bonham Carter Johnny Depp Tim Burton“I haven’t watched the film. I wish I wasn’t in it because I know I’d love it.”
“I’m sure the others felt I was picked because I was sleeping with the director; but Steven Sondheim chose me - and I definitely didn’t sleep with him.”
Johnny Depp has given his love and partner Vanessa Paradis a special present - a vineyard. The gift serves as congratulations for her months of hard work in celebration for completing her new album.
The 44-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star purchased the vineyard in Plan de la Tour, close to the villa he shares with Paradis, 35, and their two children, Lily-Rose, 8, and Jack, 5.
The luxurious villa boasts a master bedroom with its own swimming pool and the vast grounds contain five separate houses, a private chapel and another swimming pool.
The couple are regularly seen buying fruit, vegetables and clothes at the local market.
Depp also owns a 45-acre island in the Bahamas, where he frequently vacations.
Despite his relationship with the french songstress lasting nearly ten years, Depp insists he has no plans to marry again following his earlier divorce to make-up artist Lori Anne Allison in 1985.
There are five weeks until “Sweeney Todd” opens December 21, and Burton is still working on his latest ambitious endeavor, a full-fledged live-action musical based on Stephen Sondheim’s Broadway hit. For Johnny Depp, singing in Sweeney may pose the biggest challenge yet in his remarkable career predicated on taking chances. But judging by the video preview I think he is going to pass with flying colors.

Johnny Depp has finally opened up about his daughter’s illness last year. Lily-Rose was rushed to the emergency room and nearly died according to many sources. Production was halted on the set of Depp’s movie “Sweeny Todd” so that Depp could be with his daughter. Though he and girlfriend Vanessa Paradis haven’t officially disclosed what sent Lilly-Rose to the hospital, several sources said she was suffering from blood poisoning after stepping on a rusty tack.
Johnny Depp says his 8-year-old daughter is now healthy and well following her hospitalization earlier this year. “Now every single millisecond is a mini-celebration,” the 44-year-old actor tells Entertainment Weekly in its Nov. 9 issue. “Every time we get to breathe in and exhale is a huge victory. She pulled through beautifully, perfectly, with no lasting anything.”
Lily-Rose, the daughter of Depp and French singer Vanessa Paradis, was admitted to a British hospital to receive treatment for an undisclosed ailment about three weeks after Depp started work on “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” Tim Burton’s adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim musical about a murderous barber.
“To say it was the darkest moment, that’s nothing,” Depp tells the magazine. “It doesn’t come close to describing it. Words are so small. But knowing that those people, Tim and the crew, shut down and stood by and waited … I didn’t know if I was coming back. I remember talking with Tim, saying, `Maybe you need to recast.’ Once we were given the all-clear, I had to dive back into the work,” he says. “I had to get back in there for Tim”.
