Johnny Depp Is A Modern Day Hunter

Johnny Depp gives a 'Sweeney' grin on the latest cover of Vanity Fair’s November issue as the featured cover boy. Johnny lays his feelings out about being Hollywood's biggest paid actor and what it's like for him when involved in a photoshoot.

On despising photo shoots...“You just feel like you’re being raped somehow. Raped. The whole thing. It feels like a kind of weird—just weird, man…. Whenever you have a photo shoot or something like that, it’s like—you just feel dumb. It’s just so stupid.”




On admitting what being Actor means to him..."There is also a part of me that needs to have this kind of stimulation to the brain."

On why he feels compelled to take on as many projects as he can... “Basically, if they’re going to pay me the stupid money right now, I’m going to take it. I have to. I mean, it’s not for me. Do you know what I mean? At this point, it’s for my kids. It’s ridiculous, yeah, yeah. But ultimately is it for me? No. No. It’s for the kids.”

Synopsis:

"Based on the debut novel by Hunter S. Thompson, "The Rum Diary" tells the increasingly unhinged story of itinerant journalist Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp). Tiring of the noise and madness of New York and the crushing conventions of late Eisenhower-era America, Kemp travels to the pristine island of Puerto Rico to write for a local newspaper, The San Juan Star, run by downtrodden editor Lotterman (Richard Jenkins). Adopting the rum-soaked life of the island, Paul soon becomes obsessed with Chenault (Amber Heard), the wildly attractive Connecticut-born fiancée of Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart). Sanderson, a businessman involved in shady property development deals, is one of a growing number of American entrepreneurs who are determined to convert Puerto Rico into a capitalist paradise in service of the wealthy. When Kemp is recruited by Sanderson to write favorably about his latest unsavory scheme, the journalist is presented with a choice: to use his words for the corrupt businessmen's financial benefit, or use them to take the bastards down."

The Cannes Film Festival, Where The Festivities Are Really That Festive!

Alright kiddas, so as you may have already heard, the 64th Annual Cannes Film Festival in France started last week, with notable faces coming out to promote their films. The likes of some of our favorites such as Diane Kruger, Rachel McAdams, Tilda Swinton, Robert Di Niro, Lara Stone, Cheryl Cole, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Sarah Jessica Parker, Salma Hayek, John C. Reilly, Jane Fonda, and Penelope Cruz all hit the luscious red carpet at this year's festivities. As always, we've included our favorite choices as best dressed!

In case you didn't already know, The Cannes Film Festival

"Selection features 49 feature films from 33 different countries including 44 world premieres and a 19-film strong Competition."

Woody Allen’s film, "Midnight in Paris" opened this year's festival.

Rachel McAdams is hands down in our opinion the most electrifying actress to appear at this year's event. I mean come on, look at that embroidered silk organza illusion cap sleeve gown by Marchesa. The Fall 2011 piece features a tulle skirt that starts and ends in all the right places. The embroidered train only adds to thee romantic as well as dramatic effect the dress has. The cherries on top are Rachel’s choice of hair and shoes. The retro wavy curls with hair split to one side and pointed toe gold heels by 'Casadei', make Rachel our choice as best dressed at this years 2011 Cannes Festival.












Take brief look at last year's Cannes Film Festival of 2010. Behind the scenes style!

'The Dream Life of Penélope Cruz' A Cat Lady Unlike Any Other.

Penelope Cruz graces the cover of the June 2011 issue of Vogue magazine where she is shot by Peruvian fashion photographer Mario Testino and interview by writer Jason Gay in which she shares her humble Hollywood beginnings and her dreams to work with Johnny Depp to who he now says of Cruz "she’s Ricky to my Lucy".

There are oddities that make sense only in Los Angeles—canary-yellow Rolls-Royces, lasagna cupcakes, agents. The Hollywood Walk of Fame is another. Here is a boulevard where Meryl Streep shares the glory with Erik Estrada; where Audrey Hepburn earns the same real estate as Rin Tin Tin; where a Spider-Man impersonator once socked a Charlie Chaplin impersonator in the face. The Walk is America’s most accessible shrine to show-business fantasy: If you dream big enough, one day your name could be commemorated on this hallowed ground in gold letters. And then a sunburned dude with a green parrot on his shoulder will roller-skate right over it.

It’s a warm Friday in April when the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce awards its 2,436th star to Penélope Cruz. She is a woman who, growing up in Spain, saw a photo of a bedazzled Michael Jackson kneeling before his red-carpeted star and never imagined she would one day do the same. “It sounded like science fiction,” she says, her famous inflection deliciously animating the term. When Cruz first moved to Los Angeles, she spoke little English and lived in a tiny hotel room she shared only with cats. Cats, plural. “I was very lonely,” she says. “I would find cats in the street and take them with me. I raised a lot of cats in that period.”


The cats all found nice homes, Cruz assures me in a way that recalls those end-of-film disclaimers (no animals were harmed during the making of Penélope Cruz). In the years since, Cruz, too, has found a more comfortable place in America, evolving from a misused ornament in Hollywood movies to one of the most celebrated actresses of her generation, a multilingual Oscar winner and muse to giants like Pedro Almodóvar and Woody Allen. Today her home—whether in Los Angeles, New York, or Madrid—is shared with her new husband, the acclaimed Spanish actor, fellow Oscar winner, and occasional on-screen lover Javier Bardem. A couple of months ago, there was a tender new addition: a son, Leonardo, the couple’s first child.

It has been a staggering journey. “I don’t think people realize the barriers Penélope’s broken,” says Rob Marshall, who directed Cruz in 2009’s Nine as well as the brand-new Pirates of the Caribbean installment, On Stranger Tides, in which she joins the misadventures of Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow. “There is really no one like her.”

This is why we’re here, why Cruz is getting a star amid an eight-deep crowd of fans in front of the El Capitan theater, waving old magazine covers. Cruz steps out into the sun. Sheathed in a violet L’Wren Scott dress and wearing tall black Louboutins, she is, as always, a burst of smoky-eyed beauty. Her brown hair plunges over her shoulders in the way hair does only for cartoon mermaids. The crowd erupts. Bardem slips by in sunglasses and a navy blazer, barely noticed.

After some laudatory words from Marshall, it’s time for Captain Sparrow, Johnny Depp. He looks so eccentrically Depp, it’s as if he’s fresh from posing at Madame Tussaud’s: tattered brown fedora, violet aviator glasses, scarf, flannel shirt, and baggy carpenter’s jeans with two black pens tucked into the pocket of the right leg. “A relatively long time ago, we did Blow together,” Depp cracks, letting the double entendre linger. It’s a reference to his first movie with Cruz, released a decade ago, about the cocaine kingpin George Jung. The two actors have stayed close friends. Cruz refers to Depp as “The Man with the Hat.” Depp calls her “this curious Spanish creature.”


“A lot of things can be said about this creature Penélope Cruz,” Depp says. “None of them are bad.” He calls her a “one-off,” “magnificent,” and “magical.”

“She’s the dysfunctional Bacall to my twisted Bogart,” Depp continues. “She’s the otherworldly Scarlett to my clueless Rhett. She’s the. . . .” He pauses. “Well, she’s Ricky to my Lucy.”
