Robert Downey Jr gave an amazing interview to Esquire to promote Iron Man 3 and in my coverage of that piece -- click here for a refresher -- I wrote that the best interviews should not be excerpted but, rather, read in its pure form. In doing so, you respect the writer’s work and you respect the subject’s candour, digesting the information the way it was intended to be presented, in the spirit that the information was provided. Full Story

There was a story the other day on Celebitchy about how Johnny Depp helped out a few homeless guys by hooking them up as extras on his new film. There is a story today about Johnny Depp dropping out of the Whitey Bulger movie because he wouldn’t take a pay cut. Full Story

Armie Hammer was in Tokyo today promoting The Lone Ranger all by himself. But you know how the Japanese feel about Johnny Depp. Johnny is shooting Transcendence in LA right now and couldn’t make it. I’m sure they’ll have him back at a later date. Johnny’s actually pretty fun when he goes to Japan. Full Story

They’ve all been pretty visible the last few days, with the exception of Kate Moss who’s been known to attend the MET Gala so it wouldn’t be surprising if we see her in New York tonight. Amber Heard was in New York yesterday photographed walking around in a long black and white skirt. Full Story

Right? SO much better. Johnny Depp was photographed on the set of Transcendence yesterday in LA. Hair is shorter. Scarves, bangles, necklaces, feathers, dusters, hats all kept to a minimum or not present. God, it's been so long, Johnny. Where have you been?! And still, this is not the "real" Johnny Depp. Full Story

May 2012, almost exactly a year ago, Johnny Depp was still insisting that he and Vanessa Paradis were fine -- click here for a refresher -- despite months of reporting, and from legitimate sources, that they were done. A month after that, in June 2012, they confirmed Full Story

There are worse things than The Lone Ranger. Like, say, Transformers 1-3, conclusive. Or World War Z. WWZ looks terrible because it’s so freaking generic, like someone threw Independence Day, Armageddon and The Walking Dead into a blender and WWZ is the vomitus mass that came out. Or the entire Fast & Furious franchise. Full Story

Here's Johnny Depp arriving at the Late Show today. I count 3 necklaces -- only?! Or are there more hidding underneath all that other business? Must be. Johnny's there to perform with Bill Carter and The Blame. There's supposed to be an interview too which, as he's not promoting a film (Lone Ranger's not due for a while), I'm wondering if Letterman insisted on it. Full Story

Here’s a brief recap of Johnny Depp’s 2012: Third week of January, PEOPLE Magazine boldly announces on its cover story, several months ahead of everyone else, that Johnny and Vanessa Paradis are done. Some speculate that he’s already seeing Amber Heard. Full Story

They reunited for Frankenweenie earlier this year. And now, in a video for Here With Me, directed by Tim Burton, Winona Ryder appears as a mannequin come to life, a young boy’s desire. She’s perfect for the part, really. And the story is strange and oddly moving and sweet, in that weird way that Burton’s best work often is. Full Story

The second trailer for Disney’s The Lone Ranger is out and oh God, it looks hilariously awful. Not because of Johnny Depp as Tonto, but because it just looks like a clichéd, bloated summer action movie. So, like, bad in the regular way. People are, of course, always and forever going to debate Depp as Tonto, as we have done here Full Story

In this edition of Celebrity Real Estate, Johnny Depp has purchased a $17.5 million home in Music City. The mansion is almost 20,000 sq ft. And, since his breakup with Vanessa Paradis, this is the second house he’s bought in the last three months, the other a $5 million crash pad in LA. So it’s not just the Brange and George Clooney who live in luxury. Full Story

This, by Johnny Depp standards, is almost...conservative. Here’s Johnny Depp today at school for one of his kids. That’s, like, a golf shirt... ish, right? And a jacket wrapped around his waist. And a reusable coffee mug. Johnny Depp, the dad, on the school run! Yes, there are still 80 necklaces draped around his neck. Full Story

This, apparently, is still happening. According to Page Six, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard (who supposedly has short brown hair now) were at a club together on Monday night. They were “flirty” and sat close together by themselves on a patio that had been blocked off just for them. Full Story
