andPOP - Pop Culture With Substance

Johnny Depp is outraged at how ex-girlfriend Kate Moss has been vilified by the media after a British paper published photos of the supermodel allegedly snorting cocaine.

“The first thing that went through my mind was I was concerned for her, hoping that she was OK and that she and her baby were OK,” says Depp, 42, who dated Moss for four years until 1998.

“No. 2 was just being appalled and shocked at the kind of vicious attacks,” Depp said in an interview Friday with a British morning TV show.

“She’s super sharp, really smart and (has) got a great heart. She’s a good mum, and she just happens to be human, and the press wouldn’t allow that, and that’s unforgivable.”

Moss, 31, who recently left an American rehab clinic, has been reunited with her three-year-old daughter Lila Grace.

The British icon paid a heavy price for her drug controversy, losing several modelling contracts with high-end fashion companies such as Chanel and H&M. But she appears to be staging a comeback, landing a Vanity Fair cover shot and a new campaign for designer Roberto Cavalli.

Johnny Cash?s daughter is upset with a portrayal of her mother as a ?mad little psycho? in the new film Walk the Line.

Kathy Cash was so irked by the wrongful portrayal of Vivian Liberto Distin, Cash?s first wife, that she walked out of a special screening of the movie for her family.

?My mom was basically a nonentity in the entire film except for the mad little psycho who hated his career,? she says.

“She loved his career and was proud of him until he started taking drugs and stopped coming home.”

Kathy also objects to the fact that the film fails to show the singer?s children and their suffering during their father?s fight with drug addiction and their parents? divorce.

However, she praises the performances of Joaquin Phoenix as Cash and Reese Witherspoon as June Carter Cash, the singer?s second wife.

Distin and Cash were married for 13 years and had four children together.

Cash died in September 2003 at the age of 71.
