Johnny Depp to star in movie about Billy Mitchell "The King of Kong

I have received an article that is very interesting. There are no words to really describe this article. You really need to read it for yourself to understand. It does pertain to Johnny in a way. This article was sent to my Ma and then sent to me. The credit goes out to Susan, my Mas niece, and my Ma. Read the first page where it talks about The King of Kong: Fistful of quarters. After that go to page 14 and continue reading on to page 17. Over off to the side of page 17 it talks about how New Line Cinema has bought the rights to make a movie. And Johnny Depps name was mentioned for the leading role as Billy Mitchell. This article came from a newspaper from New Hampshire. Enjoy!

Johnny Naked in D.C.

Now that I have you attention......heh

NBC4.com reports a new Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is opening in Washington DC October 5th with an opening gala scheduled the night before. The figures for the museum have arrived naked, and artists are working around the clock to finish and clothe them for the event.

It is unclear from the article whether the figure is of Johnny himself or Captain Jack Sparrow as in the other Madame Tussauds museums.

EDIT:
I was able to find a screenshot from the video report of the opening, and it looks like the figure in Washington DC will be Johnny and not Jack Sparrow.

Best Dressed Goes to...

As reported in the New York Daily News, Johnny Depp made the top 5 in People Magazines list of Best Dressed Males for their upcoming Best Dressed/Worst Dressed issue.

Best Dressed Men
David Beckham
George Clooney
Johnny Depp
Terrance Howard
Brad Pitt



It is a strange honor considering he usually ends up on the opposite end of stuff like this for his unique sense of style. That can only mean one of two things: either Johnny paid off the People staff, or they have finally come to realize what the rest of us knew a long time ago -- that Johnny looks good in anything.
