Johnny Depp Wins Big at MTV Movie Awards



It takes someone truly special to have longevity in Hollywood, where everyone is always looking for the next big thing. And last night, Johnny Depp proved that he has what it takes to stay on top in Tinseltown.

At last night’s 2008 MTV Movie Awards, the “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” stud cleaned up, winning a total of two awards.

When it came time for him to accept his golden popcorn trophy for Best Comedic Performance for his role as Captain Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean, he told the audience, “I’m not really sure how this happened. You can ask anyone, I’m not a very funny person. I’m not even remotely funny. But that’s very sweet.”

But that was just the start for Depp… he also won the award for Best Villain for his role in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. He graciously accepted, saying, “This is a great honor. Thank you for everyone who voted for me. Thank you for sticking with me on this very obtuse and strange road. I’m not particularly eloquent at the moment, but thank you so much.”

Zac looked studly in a matching shiny blue jacket-and-pants suit with a classic white button-up shirt and his signature whispy brown hair and big smile.

And Vanessa wasn’t looking too shabby either, sporting a plunging neckline sea shell-patterned dress with a pair of beige high-heeled sandals

Cruise reportedly offered SJP a big hug and congrats for the big Sex and the City opening, with Parker saying: “So good to see you again.”

Christian Aguilera and son Max Liron for Rock The Vote Ad Campaign


The pop Celebrity mother Christina Aguilera and her five month old son Max Liron will star in a new “Rock The Vote” campaign ad to premiere this summer.

Remember when Madonna, draped in the American flag, appeared in a vamping public service announcement for a nascent organization called Rock the Vote? Now, almost two decades later, Christina Aguilera is kicking off the new campaign for the group, but the one wearing the flag is her infant son, Max Liron Bratman.

In the new broadcast ad, set to debut later this summer, Aguilera sings a lullaby of "America the Beautiful" to her son, who was born in January. The Grammy winner said she didn't think twice about putting her son in the spot because it's "inevitable that he will be subjected to some amount of press," so it might as well be channeled into a good cause.

"This election in particular is such an exciting and historical one, and so I was proud to have my son and I stand together for such a powerful moment and message in time," the 27-year-old star said.

“She was afraid to go the hospital because [the paparazzi] were gonna write about it. She was sick,” the elder Lohan adds at an event for Project Cuddle. “If you were sick, and you’re mother couldn’t even take you to a hospital because paparazzi will fabricate some story, you know, it’s sad.

Charlie Sheen & Brooke Mueller Get Married



Charlie Sheen married real estate investor Brooke Mueller at a private estate in Los Angeles on Friday.

“They’re well matched and incredibly happy,” says a friend of the couple.

Mueller, 30, and Sheen, 42, exchanged vows in front of about 60 close friends and family. The bride wore a Reem Acra gown. Among the guests were Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane and actress Rebecca Gayheart, who first introduced the couple in 2006.

“Brooke really wanted to walk down the aisle in a big way, but Charlie insisted they keep it simple and small,” says a source.

The Two and a Half Men star proposed to Mueller in Costa Rica last June, presenting her with a $500,000 custom-designed 11-carat yellow diamond and platinum ring from jeweler Lord Alon Barak.

The newlyweds are expected to attend the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles on Saturday, an event where they made their first public appearance as a couple two years ago.

In lieu of wedding gifts, the newlyweds have asked guests to donate to the Chrysalis: Changing Lives Through Jobs charity and to Pugs ‘N Pals, a dog rescue charity.

As for their future, Sheen and Mueller are eager to start a family, according to an insider. “Brooke is hoping to get pregnant very soon,” says the friend.

Sheen is dad to three daughters already: Sam, 4, and Lola, 2, with ex-wife Denise Richards, and Cassandra, 23, with ex-girlfriend Paula Profitt.
