Johnny Depp is reportedly about to sign on the dotted line to star in a fifth installment of ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ if new reports coming from TheWrap are to be believed.
Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of the franchise, apparently said he was working on a script for the fifth movie back in May and that he wouldn’t make the movie without Depp. Speaking to the L.A. Times, he said “Hopefully, if this one does well, (Depp) will want to come back and play the character again, but it’s going to depend on the screenplay. It always does. He’s maniacal about not wanting to disappoint his audience.”
This should come as a surprise to nobody considering the fourth installment, ‘On Stranger Tides,’ just recently went onto pass the $1 billion mark at the global box office which now makes it the third-highest-grossing film ever at the international box office as well as Disneys biggest international release and as we all know in Hollywood when something makes that much money they will keep churning them out as long as they can.
It’s looking good though because apparently Depp is liking what he sees so far so is negotiations already to star in the movie, TheWrap also says that it’s looking so good the team behind the franchise have been having up to four meetings a week about it.
Another reason this should come as no surprise is because according to another report, Depp has earned nearly $350 million from the franchise because of the type of contracts he has. However, Disney called this number “highly inaccurate” and another source says the actual number is closer to $280 million. Either way, that’s still a shitload of money.
Do you want another ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ or do you think they should just quit while they are ahead?
She discovered it while working with Depp on ‘Blow’ in 2001.
“I was doing a very dramatic close-up,” Cruz recalled on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live.’ Using a remote control, “he kept making that sound with the machine … I was just thinking I hope they are not thinking it’s me! And Johnny was [standing] there with a straight face.”
The actors recently worked together again on ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.’ Cruz, now wise to the prank, watched Depp fool producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Rob Marshall.
As you can see, the official poster for the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has been released and as I guessed it’s all about Johnny Depp.
The poster shows Captain Jack Sparrow with a few mermaids and burning ship in the background, since Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom turned the 4th movie down they are not featured in it.
The movie’s synopsis goes as this “Jack Sparrow and Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard (Ian McShane) and his daughter are after it too.”
Penelope Cruz will play Blackbeard’s daughter and Gemma Ward will also star in the movie so that’s were I will be getting my eye candy from when I watch this movie on DVD, because there’s no way I’m going to see it in theaters as I have a feeling it is going to be dreadful and just like the past movies will be full of Jack Sparrow. If you do want to see the movie in theaters it’s released on May 20, 2011.

Alright we all know that most celebrities have lost their virginity by now, but CelebBuzz have come up with a list of 13 celebrities that we know what age they were when they lost it because they or someone else has told us about it. Let’s take a look….
Khloe Kardashian: 14.
The reality star told the ladies at ‘The View’ that she felt “disgusted” after she lost her virginity at the young age of 14 to an older man. “I should have listened to my parents,” Khloe said, “Don’t let anyone pressure you, it’s not worth it and how I felt afterward.”
Daniel Radcliffe: 16.
According to the ‘Harry Potter’ star, he celebrated his 16th birthday (the age of consent in England) by doing the deed with a much older girlfriend.

While many people think Britney lost her virginity to Justin Timberlake, Britney’s mom, Lynne Spears, revealed in a memoir that Brit lost her virginity to a football player at her high school.
Matthew Morrison: 21.
The ‘Glee’ hunk held out on losing his virginity at a young age by joining Christian groups in college at NYU. However, he eventually did the deed (before marriage!), which he called a “sweet” and “innocent” experience.
Tina Fey: 24.
She may be a confident beauty now but Tina apparently had a hard time getting guys interested in her when she was younger. “I couldn’t give [my virginity] away,” Tina said. She eventually lost her v-card to Jeff Richmond, the man who would later become her husband.
