Johnny Depp books South Border for gigs at Viper Room

General by Martina

Manila Standard Today – The biggest buzz in the music circuit is South Border’s imminent move to Los Angeles. This is largely unconfirmed, but band aficionados have been talking about it – By Isah V. Red.

Why move when things are still A-OK with them here in their beloved country?

Apparently it is an offer difficult to resist, for after all it’s no less than the very eccentric Johhny Depp (Pirates of the Caribbean, Secret Window, What’s Eating Gilbert Grapes, Nick of Time, and many more) who wants them in The Viper Room, the famous bar on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood that is partly owned by Depp.

So, how did Depp know about South Border?

This one’s a little hazy, but he might have picked up an album somewhere, or got interested in the name and downloaded a tune from Napster and found them interesting he asked his guys to get in touch with the band. That’s as far as the tale goes.

Deep Depp

Articles by Martina

Johnny Depp always has been known for his tendency to take on off-the-wall characters and dark, seemingly on-the-fringe parts in movies. But he’s also been in some seriously dramatic roles that have earned him a place among the Hollywood elite – whether he wants it or not – By Judianne Triglia.

His latest endeavor – “The Libertine” – is one of those dark “only Johnny Depp will do” kind of parts. He plays the Earl of Rochester in the 17th century famous for his debauchery and wicked ways. Hmmm . . . lets think this over . . . lots of sex and drinking and other evil deeds . . . sounds like a perfect role for Depp since women want him and men pretty much want to be him. Plus, who doesn’t like a little debauchery?

But before you hop to the movies, take a stroll through the duality of Depp from his beginnings in “A Nightmare on Elm Street” to his long-awaited “Pirates of the Caribbean” sequels.

“A Nightmare on Elm Street” (1984)
He played: Glen Lantz – killed by Freddie for falling asleep while watching TV.
Why we care: Anyone killed by Freddie who “lives” to have a movie career gets a thumbs up. He even reappeared as another character in “Elm Street 6.”

General by Martina

Oscars and Emmys are nice, but definitely not necessary to bank the highest paychecks in Hollywood – By Forbes.

Among this highly compensated group, Johnny Depp, who made $37 million, has come closest to winning the coveted 13.5-inch statuette in recent years. Last year, he was nominated for Best Actor for his performance in “Finding Neverland.” Close, but no statuette — the Oscar went to Jamie Foxx.

Anne Rice: Johnny Depp Would Make A Good Jesus

General by Martina

The Celebrity Cafe – In talks to develop a Biblical drama for HBO, the Roman Catholic Rice says she knows who she wants for Jesus – Written by: Ellen Wernecke.

Just call it a mission from God.

In a new book which interviews celebrities about their religious and spiritual beliefs, Anne Rice, the bestselling vampire writer and born-again Christian said she believes she’s been called to make a television series about Jesus’ life — and in her head, she’s already cast it.

“I haven’t told Johnny Depp yet, but wouldn’t he be perfect?” Rice said about the series, which she described as HBO’s “Deadwood” (her favorite show) set in Nazareth.

“It would be everything that’s going on in Jesus’ village — all the arguments, disputes, whatever –and we’d take maybe five years to get to Jerusalem,” Rice said.

“Mmmm. . . , Strong. Beautiful. Edgy. Soulful eyes,” Chicago Sun-Times reporter Cathleen Falsani writes about Depp. “A graceful person but not effeminate. Roguish yet strangely wise. Yes, Depp as Jesus — I can see it.”
