Graffiti6 is starting to make their North American invasion, and they are hitting up the Tonight Show. Does this sound familiar? Well the Beatles made the exact same journey over 40 years ago. Naturally, @jordans_life had to make some comparisons.
Nick plays World of Warcraft. Not only that, he’s the head of his guild, demonstrating that it IS possible to juggle being a hardcore gamer with being a top-selling recording artist.
During a LIVE interview on andPOP.com Nick Carter gave out a number and took phone calls from his fans. These were real phone calls from real fans who we gave exclusive access to one of the biggest recording artists of our generation.
There were great questions about music, fitness, the backstreet boys but the most popular question, however, was about his underwear. In this clip Nick talks about his his ‘Haynes’ and covering his fans with glow in the dark paint.
When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.
It’s hard to prepare for an interview with Hedley. So in this interview, we threw caution to the wind, got a 24 of beer and broadcast the interview live on our USTREAM (andPOP.tv). Eventually Jacob, Dave and @jordans_life ended up talking about hairy legs, their newest music video and more.

Johnny Depp. Recently single and was voted America’s favourite movie star once again, so to commemorate the folks over at Huffington Post dug up this Entertainment Tonight footage of the eccentric actor.
It’s a fresh faced 25-year-old at his first interview with Entertainment Tonight, he talks about the “strange” experiences with fame shortly after starting his role on 21 Jump Street. That’s right kids – Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum are doing a remake.
“You don’t expect people to be there, waiting for you, it’s very new to me,” he says of walking the red carpet. “I’m dealing with it the best way i know how, which is right now, I try to meet as many people as I can and when a situation like they have downstairs with all the kids, I try to sign as many things as I can, I don’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings or make them feel like I don’t have time. But it’s very strange time because they’re saying, ‘Please sign this, please sign this,’ and then I have these guard guys pulling me, saying, C’mon, we got to go, we got to go,’ so it’s a little strange to be in that situation.”
Like every other year before, 2011 had a roster of idiotic celebrity moments. A lot of stories that broke this year had us scratching our heads and rolling our eyes as we begged “what the hell is going on?” We have counted down the ten craziest pop culture stories that deserve a major facepalm.
10. The show “Playboy Club” on NBC
This cheesy and poorly acted show starring Amber Heard and Dean Cain didn’t last more than three or so episodes on NBC. Thank God!
9. Actress sues IMDB over age
An actress going by the name “Jane Doe” sued internet movie database IMDB and its parent company Amazon.com for $1 million over revealing her real age (40). She claims her age is a liability in Hollywood (no kidding!).
8. Alec Baldwin kicked off plane over Words With Friends
The veteran actor of “30 Rock” says he was booted from an American Airlines flight last month because he refused to stop playing Words With Friends on his phone. The airline then went on to slam the actor in many reports. AA now knows the title for Stupidest Reason to Kick Somebody Off a Plane. Congratulations!
No word on how Miley Cyrus is celebrating her big 19th birthday today, we know exactly what she was doing yesterday: getting a tattoo removed.
According to the Hollywood Life, Miley was seen at an L.A. dermatologist’s office that specializes in laser removal. Since she has nine tattooes already, we’re going to go ahead and assume Miley’s just bored of looking at one of them already.
Miley, like many young girls, has a long list of questionable tattoos including sappy words like ‘karma’ and ‘love’ and symbols like a cross and a heart. This young starlet obviously doesn’t think before she inks. At least Miley has so far refrained from getting her boyfriend’s name tattooed on her body.
Here are three celebrities with regrettable tattooes all done in the name of love.
Angelina tattooed her boyfriend’s name on her arm only to have it laser removed once they parted ways. Luckily, she never got one for Brad, meaning she probably learned her lesson.
Johnny Depp is another celeb with a history of tattoo removal. When he was in love with Winona Ryder in the ’90s, he tattooed “Winona forever” on his arm, only to change it to “wino forever” (whatever that means) years later after their separation.
Eva Longoria also got matching tattoos of her wedding date with her then-husband Tony Parker. When she divorced him over his infidelity, she joked about the tattoo, saying “I’ll probably ink the divorce date under it!”
Today’s fail is brought to you by Captain Jack Sparrow’s dark rum. Or at least that’s what I’m assuming Johnny Depp was drinking before eating concrete. I didn’t graduate from the Los Angeles community college of celebrity security but I’m pretty sure Johnny Depp wasn’t the only one at fault here. His manager, handler or whatever you want to call him is really the one to blame. In an attempt to save the fragile and seemingly medicated actor, he ends up body slamming him on the curb. What’s really funny is watching him trying and scrape Johnny Depp off the pavement and resurrect the actor like Weekend Bernie’s. Thank you TMZ for yet another glorious moment in Hollywood history caught on video.
The new ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,’ which stars Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz, opened big abroad this weekend.
The pirate-action flick will open in 4,155 North American theaters on Friday, already having debuted in 70 countries. Right now, the flick is scoring huge in the first 10 countries it opened in, posting $18.5M. This tops the $12.3M that ‘Pirates 3′ made.
So far, ‘Pirates 4′ has the biggest opening day ever in Russia with an industry record-breaker of RBL130M/$5M, beating the previous high set by ‘Twilight’ (RBL122M). France took in €2.1M/$3.1M, while very strong starts occurred in the UK, Italy, and Sweden.
Disney is looking for a big global first weekend, with 65% of the foreign markets opening before the U.S and Canada opens Friday. In total, ‘Pirates 4′ is debuting in more than 70 countries for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
People are crazy about ‘Pirates,’ and more specifically, about Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. I personally stopped watching after the second one, but this one sounds like it may be worth checking out. It’ll definitely perform well here, it’s a huge action blockbuster.
Steven Tyler and Johnny Depp are writing a song together, reveals Billboard.
Depp has confirmed that he and Tyler are hard at work on a new track.
“We’ve been hanging out here and there,” the actor says. ”He’s someone I’ve admired greatly for such a long time. The idea of writing songs with him is a dream come true.”
Tyler, the Aerosmith frontman, said last week that he and the actor have been collaborating in his ‘American Idol’ downtime. “He asked me, he said, ‘I want you to come over’ — he’s got a studio here in L.A. — ‘and see if I’m playing “Seasons of Wither” right.’ I said, ‘Y’know what, Johnny? No matter how you play it, it’s gonna be right. It’s a beautiful thing.”
Tyler also said that he would want Depp to play him in a movie version of his life. When asked about the hypoethetical casting, Depp said, “I’ll give it a shot. Why not?”
I never knew Depp was into songwriting, but the duo seems to oddly fit together and I would think they have the same taste. Can’t wait to hear what this ends up with!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the script for Pirates of the Caribbean 5 has been turned in by Terry Rossio, the co-writer of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
Rossio turned the script in for a fifth possible movie in the franchise. However, this is Rossio’s first solo effort writing a Pirates film without the help from Ted Elliot. Producer, Jerry Bruckheimer is reportedly still interested in continuing the franchise and making a fifth film. Bruckheimer has also apparently approached Rob Marshall to direct the project although there is no word of his decision.
Johnny Depp says that he hasn’t seen the screenplay yet. Perhaps Jack Sparrow is getting a little tired of his oceanic debauchery.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides premieres next week in France at the Cannes Film Festival. It will have its wide release on May 20 in 3D and IMAX.
This promo tour is getting a little out of hand!
Pop sensation Justin Bieber showed up at a press conference for Johnny Depp’s latest film Rango, interrupting the proceedings to chat with the actor. Coincidentally, Depp had just finished talking about how his children were huge fans of the pint-sized star who treated the baby Depps to a performance in Miami last December.
“I’m a Belieber,” Depp laughed as he shook hands with the Biebs. Justin returned the compliment, explaining that he was a “huge fan” and wanted to support the Pirates of the Caribbean star.
Hmm, we’re pretty sure Johnny Depp doesn’t need any extra support, Justin! It probably would have felt more sincere if you didn’t edit in a post-video bumper promoting your new 3D movie…
First an appearance on SNL, then The Daily Show, and now random press conferences? The self-promo is getting a little annoying, Biebs!

When Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie confirmed their starring roles in director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s latest film, most fans and critics were simply delighted. ‘The Tourist’ quickly became one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year as two of Hollywood’s biggest and most sought after actors would finally share the big screen.
But with the release of the movie trailer, my hopes for a Depp-Jolie semi-masterpiece were quickly and easily squandered. The promotional teaser is bland, unoriginal and forgettable. The film itself, unfortunately, makes a poor job at proving it’s more than a mindless romantic-comedy-action-thriller. Yet, for some, perhaps that’s more than enough.
Jolie stars as Elise Ward, a mysterious Englishwoman with impeccable fashion taste and elegance. She is the lover of Alexander Pearce, a criminal with a target on his back due to stealing $2.3 billion from a gangster. The movie starts off with Elise receiving a note from Pearce in a cafe in Paris, where she is instructed to board the train to Venice. On board, Elise must choose a man of similar height and build to Pearce to serve as a decoy. Cue in Depp who plays Frank Tupelo, a seemingly innocent disheveled math teacher from Wisconsin. Upon their arrival to Venice, Elise invites Frank to her hotel room where a lacklustre kiss results into Frank making a morning run for his life. Indeed, people now assume Frank is Pearce–a financial genius who also altered his appearance with $20 million worth of cosmetic surgery.
Quite a captivating story, isn’t it? Oh, barely.
The film moves too slowly and the story line never accomplishes its goal of truly intriguing the audience. There’s far too little action, yet surprisingly more humour than one might expect. And while it’s a bit refreshing to see Depp stray away from his usual flamboyant roles (which he excels at all too well), Jolie hardly steps too far away from her Salt or Wanted-like role, which is just too repetitive and too common now, even for her. Donnersmarck capitalizes on Jolie’s ability to pull off the femme fatale role effortlessly and perhaps the director relies on this a bit too much. Throughout the film, the camera constantly lingers on Jolie’s flawless features for a moment too long. Yeah we get it, she’s stunning. The subtle filming technique suddenly comes off as creepy and a tad odd, leaving audiences to feel they are invading too much of Elise/Jolie’s personal space.
While the movie does manage to have its enjoyable moments with its stunning Venice views and somewhat comical one-liners, its easily forgettable and painstakingly predictable plot might make viewers wonder why Depp and Jolie even bothered with such a project.
While Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and The Rum Diary are set to be released in 2011, Johnny Depp just can’t seem to get enough of mingling with the strange and bizarre. According to celebrity-gossip.net, Depp was seen wandering the streets of London, England Wednesday night with his pal Keith Richards. Depp and Richards were both wearing fedoras and looking conspicuously like pirates.
Supposedly the character of Captain Jack Sparrow was based on Richard’s actual persona. Depp has exemplified a true knack at embodying deranged characters on screen from his early role as Edward Scissorhands to portraying the late and great Ed Wood. Apparently during the filming of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Depp attained the ability to play Hunter Thompson better than Thompson could play himself. Depp will reprise his roll as the eccentric Dr. Gonzo in The Rum Diary.
Depp has displayed an obvious fascination with enigmatic people. He is currently working on a documentary that chronicles Richard’s wild life. However, is another Pirates of the Caribbean in the works? Judging by the popularity of the franchise a 5th film seems likely. So, is Depp hanging out with Richards to further his research on the beloved rum swilling vagabond character by leaching off the pirate himself? Surely Richards has a few more tricks up his sleeve.
Believe this next story at your own discretion.
A-list actor Johnny Depp was reportedly hanging out with his friend, Babybird’s Stephen Jones, when the two men were almost mugged.
According to a source quoted on perezhilton.com, the mugger quickly changed his mind when he realized he was dealing with Captain Jack Sparrow.
The source said: “It was an extremely scary moment. This guy looked off his head. Johnny looked him straight in the eyes and told him to back off. The guy was OK. He looked at Johnny and said, ‘I ain’t stealing from Captain Jack’ and put the bottle down. Johnny gave him a few bucks and told him to straighten up his life.”
Too juicy to be true? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, we dig the creativity of it.
“Alice in Wonderland” has proven that its strong box office performance last week is no fluke.
The film earned an additional $62 Million last week, making its total box office gross $208 Million, according to Hollywood Insider. 13 percent of that money came from the IMAX 3-D screens.
Johnny Depp and his partner Vanessa Paradis prefer not to shower, choosing to stay ”unruly” whenever they can, reports Perez Hilton. Depp, who has been promoting his upcoming film Alice in Wonderland, says he and Paradis are happy to just live peacefully.
“We have a great place in the South of France,” he said. “It’s a little hamlet – only 45 acres – and I don’t do anything. I’ve not left the property for three months at a time. I literally just wake up, go out, check the garden and see the vegetables growing. It’s a pristine existence in terms of simplicity. There’s no talk of movies or work and, infinitely more important, the telephone never rings. It really is a beautiful, simple life.”
Angelina Jolie is breathtaking enough to stop people in their tracks – literally. According to People.com, Jolie caused quite the stir in a busy Paris train station early Thursday while filming her new flick The Tourist.
Thousands of onlookers stopped to take pictures or just gaze as the beautiful actress shot a scene that took about 90 minutes in the busy and infamous Gare de Lyon train station. The 34-year-old actress of mother of six smiled and called “Bonjour!” in between takes to the crowd of star struck onlookers as she navigated crowds, scanned the departures list and hurried to a platform, looking elegant in her wardrobe for the film. The shoot consisted of coordinating a group of about 200 extras, along with the regular rush of train passengers.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s company Appian Way, in conjunction with Warner Bros., is producing a film based on the television series The Twilight Zone, reports Variety.
Rand Ravich, who penned the television series Life and the movie Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, will write the film. Ravich previously directed Johnny Depp in The Astronaut’s Wife.
There’s something about certain male actors over the age of 40 (but have yet to hit the 50 mark) that makes ladies and men of all ages goo-goo-gaa-gaa for them.
You know who these men are. They are the actors that straight men will shamelessly admit that even they would fantasize about these stars.
These men are charming, attractive and, most importantly, talented.
So whether you are fifteen years their junior or ten years their senior, here are five (although there are many more) contemporary actors who still capture our hearts and make us blush like little schoolgirls.
“Pirates of the Caribbean” director Gore Verbinski has jumped off deck and will not be directing the fourth installment of the Disney film, according to Variety.
“I had a fantastic time bringing ‘Pirates’ to life, and I am eternally grateful to Jerry [Bruckheimer], Johnny and the rest of the creative and production team,” Verbinski said to Variety. “I’m looking forward to all of us crossing paths again in the future.”
Instead, Verbinski is set to work on “Bioshock,” based on the video game, according to Variety.The game tells the story of a man stranded in an underwater city.
Johnny Depp will be the highest paid actor in history after the fourth instalment of “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Reports vary, but Depp is said to be banking between $56 and $61 million for the upcoming film.
Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley will reportedly not be involved with the film, or the big payday.
Tom Hanks is second, being paid $29 million for the coming “Da Vinci Code” sequel.
Cap’n Jack is back. The witty, rum drinking, sword fighting pirate character played by A-list actor Johnny Depp, will be back for more adventures in a fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” film.
According to Variety, the 45-year-old actor has signed on for a fourth installment for the Disney franchise which has earned a combined $2.6 billion at the box office. However, the film is believed to be focusing on solely Jack Sparrow, as co-stars Orlando Bloom (Will Turner) and Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Swan) have insisted that they’re finished with the franchise.
As a result, the movie which is supposedly set to start production in 2011, will likely consist of Sparrow setting sail on his own story line, possibly for the Fountain of Youth.
Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are teaming up once again.
Disney announced Wednesday that Depp will play the Mad Hatter in Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland,” which will be a live-action/CG reworking of the classic Lewis Carroll tale.
Australian actress Mia Wasikowska (HBO’s “In Treatment”) had previously been cast as Alice, while Matt Lucas (“Little Britain USA”) will play the dual roles of Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
Burton is shooting the film in 3-D and will combine performance-capture imagery, similar to last year’s “Beowulf,” with live-action footage.
The film is set for a March 2010 release date.
Depp and Burton first worked together in 1990′s “Edward Scissorhands” and have since racked up a number of collaborations, including “Sleepy Hollow,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and, most recently, “Sweeney Todd.”
