Liz’s Encounter

I?m back home and ready to tell of my encounter. It was surreal. He got to DITHOT (DeppInTheHeartOfTexas from JDZ and my co-moderator there on the Oprah Noodlemantra?s Book Club forum) before me. We both had him sign the same thing?The Saroyan Reader. But I?ll let her tell that story. She said most of it and then I froze after he signed my book and only said, ?thank you? as our eyes met (He always looks fans straight in the eye). He responded with ?No. Thank you.? He lingered in front of me while signing autographs for fans behind me. I should have been taking pics but decided to take in the man instead, studying the Jack Sparrow tattoo, his leather cuff and his ?3? along with admiring his swags. He has a very delicate build and a gentle & gracious demeanor. And for those who are still wondering what he smells like–I did smell something that was not there prior to his being in front of me. It was some sort of cologne. And it disappeared as soon as he left. The pic below is the best I got. You can see a blurred Johnny and DITHOT?s hand and her book?just prior to his signing it.

It was quite fun seeing all the other stars?especially Joanne Worley, Orlando, Keira, the other pirates and my governor (I was a big Terminator fan). I ditto what those have said about Disney doing a good job of hosting the premiere.

NEWSWEEK COVER: The Pirate in Johnny Depp

Uncategorized by Martina

Johnny Depp Says Talk That He Sold Out to Commercial Success Didn’t Worry Him: ‘If I Was Going to Do Something, It Had to Be on My Terms … Because I Don’t Want to Live a Lie. You Really Don’t Want to Look Back on Your Life and Go, ‘I Was a Complete Fraud”

In a Press Release by Newsweek posted on Sunday, June 18, 2006, Senior Writer Sean Smith interviews Johnny for the June 26 cover story. Tom Cruise and Commercial Success now they go together. But Depp and Commercial success? Not before Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl which grossed $653 million worldwide, made Depp a $20 million man and earned him an Oscar nomination.

Smith writes that it was Depp’s desire to make a movie for his kids that led him to “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” but studio executives were nonplused when they began to see the footage of Depp in character. Initially conceived as a young Burt Lancaster, Depp had reimagined Capt. Jack Sparrow as a debauched, vain, slightly fey rock star, inspired by Rolling Stones icon Keith Richards and cartoon skunk Pepe Le Pew. “The studio was, like, ‘Is he gay? Is he drunk? We don’t know what he’s doing!’,” says producer Jerry Bruckheimer. “It took a little while to calm everybody down.”

Depp’s off-kilter performance, of course, was the very thing that catapulted “Pirates” into a cultural phenomenon.

Depp Says He Just Likes Living in France

Uncategorized by Martina

NEW YORK Jun 18, 2006 (AP)- Johnny Depp says the media’s perception of him as a European wannabe has been exaggerated, and that he just likes the anonymity of living in France.

Both FoxNews.com and ABCNews.com posted an article on Johnny in this week’s issue of Newsweek. It’s the freedom of anonymity that Depp loves about France; the freedom to go out without reporters and flashbulbs popping, the freedom to eat without the pointing and whispering of others nearby.

And if public life is much quieter for Johnny and Vanessa, so too, it seems is their personal life. Depp says, “I’ve always loved it there. “The phones don’t ring as much. Movies are never brought up in conversation. I’ll take the kids and we’ll go out to the trampoline and the swing set, and we’ll stop by the garden and see how our tomatoes are doing. You know, old-fart stuff. Good stuff.” [more…]

The Black Pearl, from Pirates of the Caribbean, gets makeover in Dania

Articles by Martina

Sun-Sentinel.com – It’s really big, really black, and really, really scary — just the kind of vessel a crew of skeletal pirates would feel right at home in. Though you may not recognize it, if you’re a dedicated filmgoer, you’ve most likely seen it – By Robert Nolin.

The Black Pearl, the pirate ship from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, is at a Dania Beach marina being spruced up after several months of sea and salt exposure. The 150-foot-long, 38-foot-wide faux galleon was built in Alabama from the wooden hull of a supply ship and is painted black from stem to stern, said lead painter Giovanni Ferrara.

“People see it and say, `What the heck is this old boat doing here?’” Ferrara said. “When they realize this is the Black Pearl, Johnny Depp’s boat, they freak out.”

Ferrara said the ship spent time last year in the Caribbean filming the sequels to the Pirates of the Caribbean. It has been in town for about a month getting re-painted before leaving on a yacht transfer ship Monday for California, for about three more weeks of filming.

Access picks the hottest Hollywood guys

General by Martina

AUTHOR: Terri

MSNBC – By Jenna Bordelon. Everyone’s fave pirate will be back in July, and who knew that Johnny Depp would make such a tanned and toned summer stud? Normally, we would characterize Johnny as more of an autumn beefcake – the type who hangs out at an outdoor cafe on Paris’ Left Bank with his legs stretched out across the sidewalk, so that you practically trip over them (he then offers to buy you a cafe au lait and you forget where you were headed…)

Kingsley Aarons – Designer for Shiloh Nouvel and other celebrity tots

General by Martina

AUTHOR: Terri

Sawfnews.com & Hollywood.com – Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s three-week-old daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt; wore a vintage-washed gray cotton T-shirt with the words “The Pots & Pans Band” when she appeared on the cover of People magazine, causing the $42 shirt to immediately fly off store shelves.

Kingsley Aarons says he started making t-shirts for his son Zephyr when he couldn’t find anything he thought was cool enough for his kid to wear. When his friends saw the designs they told him he should start his own label. He did just that and since then there has been no looking back.

The rock’n’roll inspired designs of Kingsley have been pictured on the children of top Hollywood A-list celebrity couples including Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, Seal and Heidi Klum, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Courtney Cox and David Arquette and Britney Spears and Kevin Federline.
