Ever since she became single, "men are coming out of the woodwork," says a pal. Let's wait and see who will be the next to win her heart.


Johnny Depp loves being labeled weird. The actor believes he discovered who he really is as a person by taking on oddball roles. Depp said: "I was given the weird badge but I think everybody's weird and that's the key to it. We should celebrate our individuality, not be embarrassed or ashamed of it. We all have idiosyncrasies. People do themselves a great disservice by not allowing themselves to see who they really are because they are afraid of what others might think." Basically he wants everyone to come out of their shell. But not everyone is as cool as him to adapt to changes. Meanwhile, Depp has a weird way of preparing for his role as demonic barber Sweeney Todd. He is spending hours on end pretending to cut imaginary throats with his razor. A source said: "Johnny is always very conscientious in his roles. For this part he has to get into the mind of a serial killer. He wants to feel adept with the razor blades, to feel as if they were an extension of his arm." Creepy, but that is a sign of a dedicated worker.

Fantastic Four 2 (Teaser Trailer)



Would you want Lindsay Lohan in the political scene?? Well, new stripper-lover Lindsay is being encouraged by the New York State Independence Party to run for local government in 2009. NYSIP's Frank Morano believes she could bid for New York City Public Advocate - a position next in line to the mayor, which links the electorate and city government. Morano writes, "As Albany is currently a cesspool of corruption, badly in need of reform, you may also want to consider a bid for the state legislature. Many celebrities have made the transition from Hollywood to politics, ranging from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura to Ronald Reagan. Few if any though, had the enormous potential that you possess." Goodness knows what new rules that party animal will impose if she ever get that post.
