Holy hell! People Magazine is calling out Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis ON THE COVER. After weeks and weeks of speculation in the trashier tabloids, People Mag has decided to make the chatter legit by officially speculating on the state of Johnny and Vanessa?s 14-year-relationship. As I said, Radar, Star Mag and the Enquirer have been on this story for weeks, claiming that Johnny has been boozing it up and his drinking and ?mid-life crisis? have driven him and Vanessa apart. Radar claimed that Johnny was consulting with lawyers to explore his options (for his money and custody of the kids, I guess). Then, last week, we were one of the first sites to use an Enquirer story which claimed that Johnny and Eva Green had gotten too close while filming Dark Shadows. Now People Mag is getting in the mix:
Once upon a time, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis lived a quiet family life far from the spotlight in the sleepy French hamlet of Plan-de-la-Tour.
But that time is no more, and now the couple largely reside in L.A. ? when they are in the same city at all.
Depp, 48, and Paradis, 39, who are parents to Lily-Rose, 12, and Jack, 9, have not appeared side-by-side on a red carpet for more than a year. Multiple sources tell PEOPLE in this week’s cover story that the relationship is all but officially finished.
In fact, some in their circle say the couple of nearly 14 years have already split. Says one insider: “It’s so sad.”
For much more on this story, including details on Depp’s solo nights out, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

As I?ve said from the beginning, I?ll totally buy that Depp and Paradis are having problems. They don?t seem to spend that much time together, and Depp has seemed really weird over the past year, getting drunk in public and seeming to act like a bachelor.
Of course, there?s another tabloid report, this time with the tabloid?s favorite villainess, Angelina Jolie. In this story, though, Angelina is The Guardian of Good Relationships. Now Magazine claims that Angelina has reached out to her ?friend? Johnny and urged him to ?repair his relationship? with Vanessa. A source tells Now Mag, ?They stayed in touch after The Tourist. When she heard what was going on she reached out to him to see how he was coping and urged him to work it out.? So? Eva Green is being cast as the new Angelina Jolie then?

While he skipped out on the red carpet, Johnny Depp turned up as promised for the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles, CA on Sunday evening (January 15).
Looking dapper in a stylish suit, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star was the first presenter to grace the stage at the Beverly Hilton Hotel venue.
There to announce the Best Movie nomination onstage, Depp's early appearance saw him get quite the razzing from host Ricky Gervais - as the comedian poked fun at Johnny's recent movie with Angelina Jolie, by jokingly saying, "Have you seen The Tourist yet?"
With the audience laughing at the comment, Depp proceeded to confess that he hasn't watched the film.
As for the rest of the Golden Globes ceremony, "The Descendants" and "The Artist" were the big winners while Morgan Freeman received the Cecil B. DeMille Award for career achievement.

When Johnny Depp appeared on Vanity Fair a few months ago, his unfortunate ?rape? comments made all of the headlines – he compared photo shoots to ?being raped somehow,? and that issue eclipsed the other parts of the interview. Once I got the chance to read the whole thing, it struck me that Depp isn?t the mysterious poet/beatnik that he once was (or that we thought he once was). Nowadays, he?s usually wasted. Nowadays, he?s kind of full of himself. Nowadays, he doesn?t seem to be so obsessed with his girlfriend of 13 years, Vanessa Paradis. Star Magazine has an oddly on-target story about the ?rough patch? that Johnny?s been in for a while, and how friends are referring to it as his ?mini midlife crisis.? In turn, sources claim that Vanessa was having none of it, and she told Johnny to only come home after he sorted himself out.
?If it ain?t broke, don?t fix it,? Johnny Depp once said when asked why he never married his girlfriend of 13 years, Vanessa Paradis. But multiple sources tell Star the couple recently was mired in a relationship crisis so severe, it threatened to tear them apart for good.
Johnny and Vanessa have been living separate lives for months, as she remained at their home in the South of France and he hit the road to promote his film The Rum Diary. But Johnny wasn?t spending his nights alone. On Nov. 20, Depp showed up at hot NYC lounge Kenmare with seven women in two. In addition to ordering bottle service for his bevy of beauties, ?He flirted with more than one model type and danced with several girls,? an insider tells Star. ?People were wondering if he was single again, because it definitely looked like it.?
Indeed, sources reveal that Johnny and Vanessa were going through a rough patch as the 48-year-old experienced what his friends believed was a ?mini-midlife crisis.?
?Johnny was on a bit of a downward spiral for the past year or so,? a friend admits. ?He was drinking and partying more than he probably should.?
Vanessa initially pushed her partner away as his behavior grew more erratic, says the source.
?She told Johnny to come back when he got it out of his system.? But she would never willingly let him go forever, the pal says. ?Vanessa has built her life around Johnny and would be destroyed if he left her,? explains the friend, adding that the gorgeous duo have reconciled for now and are back on track. ?It?s a strange relationship. Johnny and Vanessa are either madly in love or at each other?s throats. But it works for them.?

That?s what I always hear about Johnny and Vanessa – that they?re very passionate and volatile, that they?re two eccentric personalities, and that they spend a lot of time apart. If you go back and read Johnny?s past VF interviews, you start to get an idea of just how much time they spend apart – weeks, even months at a time, and in Vanessa?s absence, Johnny seems to spend his free time partying and drinking (and working, sure). So is there trouble in Paradis-paradise? Maybe. Or maybe they just have an unconventional relationship that works for them?

Tending to Parisian press duties, costars Johnny Depp and Amber Heard attended the premiere of "The Rum Diary" in Paris, France on Tuesday evening (November 8).
The ?Pirates of the Caribbean? actor and the ?Playboy Club? star looked lovely as they hit the red carpet, posing for pictures with the film's director Bruce Robinson before making their way inside the Gaumont Marignan Cinema.
Happy to have feet back firmly on the ground, Johnny recently told Life magazine of the time he and Robinson were once aboard an aircraft that nearly crashed.
Depp told the mag, ?The plane just shut down. The sound of the engines stopped. There was silence. Bruce and I were looking at each other and I think I said, 'Is this it?' It was like this weird extended moment when you're just floating for a second and you could feel this unpleasant descent. Nobody said a word except for Bruce and I, sitting next to each other saying, 'Oh s***! This is death, I guess this is how it goes down.?
He continued, ?Then we burst into hysterical laughter at the idea that this was how we were going to die.? Despite the scare, the plane?s power came back on shortly after.

Johnny Depp worked the hell out of a blue suit at the Rum Diary premiere in London last night. I think he looks really good here, and like he’s almost back to his old self. It’s probably his perfectly tousled hair, his goatee that looks like it just sprung up unattended but was probably carefully cultivated, and the fact that he looks just like he used to. Remember his 2008 Oscar appearance with Vanessa Paradis? He looks the same here with a few extra pounds that he carries very well.
Johnny is still making headlines for being drunk a lot, just like his character in Rum Diary. In mid October we saw video of Johnny falling over drunk while trying to sign autographs, and at the NY premiere of the Rum Diary Johnny appeared drunk and at some points was held up by a bodyguard. As Evil Beet speculates, Johnny could simply have been acting wasted at the premiere to promote the film, in which his character is a raging alcoholic. This week’s In Touch asks if Johnny is out of control and quotes a “friend” who says that Vanessa is “disgusted” with his drunkenness. They use the photos of Johnny being held up by the bodyguard to illustrate their point.
Johnny Depp is a dedicated 48 year-old father of two. But lately, the former hell-raiser seems to be regressing to his hard-partying youth.
“Johnny mellowed himself out over the past 10 years,” a friend explains, even swearing off hard alcohol at the behest of longtime partner Vanessa Paradis. Now, the friend says, he’s fallen off the wagon - and it’s threatening to destroy his relationship.
“Johnny went on a spectacular bender recently while visiting LA. He was stumbling around and slurring his words.” Perhaps Johnny - currently promoting The Rum Diary… has just gone method? If so, he’d better shape up. “Vanessa is disgusted,” the friend says.
[From In Touch, print edition, November 14, 2011]
I believe that Johnny drinks a lot, and that he has been drinking as he’s doing promotion for Rum Diary. He was wasted during his Vanity Fair interview and he just did an interview with The Daily Mail in which he got drunk with the journalist and the screenwriter/director of Rum Diary, Bruce Robinson. (Shown below.) Robinson blamed Depp for convincing him to drink again after he was abstinent for six years. So it definitely sounds like Johnny loves getting drunk and shooting the sh*t with his friends. He looks sober here, though, and like he’s cool with promoting the film. Look at how cute he is kissing Amber Heard! (Kaiser reviewed her look here.) I bet they had a great rapport on set. If it’s true that his partner is “disgusted” that he’s getting so drunk, I hope everything is ok for him at home. Maybe he’s drinking because they’re having problems, and they’re having problems because he’s drinking. It can be cyclical that way.

Stepping out for a special evening, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were spotted attending the European premiere of ?The Rum Diary" in London, England on Thursday (November 3).
The ?Tourist? actor and the ?Playboy Club? star looked dashing upon arrival and as they made their way down the red carpet before heading inside The Odeon Kensington Cinema.
The outing comes as Mr Depp has been busy with press duties, during which he revealed in a recent interview that he was once aboard a plane that nearly crashed alongside director Bruce Robinson.
Johnny explained to Life magazine, ?The plane just shut down. The sound of the engines stopped. There was silence. Bruce and I were looking at each other and I think I said, 'Is this it?' It was like this weird extended moment when you're just floating for a second and you could feel this unpleasant descent.?
He continued, ?Nobody said a word except for Bruce and I, sitting next to each other saying, 'Oh s***! This is death, I guess this is how it goes down.?
?Then we burst into hysterical laughter at the idea that this was how we were going to die.? Lucky for the pair, the plane?s power came back on shortly after.

Johnny Depp has a new interview with the Daily Mail, given at his rented regal estate in London along with The Rum Diary’s director and screenwriter, Bruce Robinson. Depp gets tipsy and shoots the sh*t with the two, but he just waxes philosophical most of the time and doesn’t say anything offensive or dumb, like he did when he got wasted with the journalist from Vanity Fair. It’s a very long article and an interesting read if you have the time and inclination. Johnny tells some crazy anecdotes about his friendships with the late journalist Hunter S. Thompson, and with the remarkably still alive Keith Richards. He also discusses what fame means to him, and how it makes his everyday dealings bizarre and unreal. It’s clear that he cherishes his fans, though, and that he’s proud to have made a difference for them, in his way.
On how fame is difficult for him
At the height of his fame, Depp, now 48, has become increasingly reclusive. He says he doesn?t enjoy the attention of paparazzi or fans with camera phones. Out in public he feels uneasy. He?s more at home, ironically more ?himself?, on set in front of a camera.
?I don?t know when it happened exactly,? he says, removing his thick-rimmed black glasses and placing them on the table in front of him.
?Outside in life people are looking and staring at you. You see them taking your picture all the time with their iPhones. You become a kind of novelty in the world.
‘At some point, it became more honest for me on set. I understand it ? everything is defined. Here are the lights, here?s the scene I have to do. It has become very natural, while the outside world has become unnatural. It?s bizarre, because I?ve done interviews where there?s a camera on and I still feel uncomfortable. Yet if it?s a scene and I?m in character, then I?m not.?
On being an individual and being touched by a young fan’s story
?I was all over the place and always the new kid at school, which is never easy,? he says.
?And now I go out and meet kids at premieres to say thank you and sign autographs. I remember many years ago this one kid, a little girl with glasses, maybe 12 or 13, said, ?Thank you for making glasses cool.? You imagine the history of haranguing this poor kid had endured ? four-eyes, or whatever they called her. It really got to me.
‘If someone is being bullied or feels like an outsider and they relate to something that I?ve done, even if it?s just igniting a spark, that?s great. I had that feeling as a kid. I was messed with no end. And then you fight back ? and that?s the rage that?s just under the surface, and in the end it comes out.
?I find it disheartening these days that everybody is like everybody else. Less and less you see real individuals. They all wear their trousers down below their crotch. I don?t understand that kind of lemming mentality.?
On his friendships with outsiders
?The common link with these people is that they?re all outsiders, straight shooters. My grandfather was too (he was a moonshine bootlegger during the Depression); he was a great guy.?
On filming Pirates… with Richards, he says, ?I?d have my glass of wine and he would have his usual. I?ve no idea what that is, because it looks like nuclear waste. We?d just hang out.
‘I?ve had relationships with amazing people in my life, individuals who play by their own rules, who in a way are totally indefinable. Hunter was intimidating. He could decimate people. He had an allergy to bull**** and I can?t stand it either.?
On finding The Rum Diary manuscript among a bunch of junk in Hunter S. Thompson’s basement
Depp would visit Thompson and his wife Anita at their unorthodox home ? Owl Farm in Woody Creek.
?One time I was using the ashtray next to the bed and discovered my night-stand was a keg of gunpowder. It would have blown us to the Moon! After having used it for some time, I figured out what it was and brought Hunter down and said, ?Do you realise what that is?? And do you know what he said? ?Oh, that?s where it is!?
‘The same night I found a brown recluse spider in the corner. It eats your skin away and causes horrible necrosis.?
Later that same night Depp unearthed the unpublished manuscript.
?It was about 3am. I was staying with Hunter preparing for Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, looking at stuff in boxes in the War Room, which was in his basement next to the room where I slept. There was all sorts of stuff in there ? cocktail napkins, toothpicks, old hotel bills, God knows what else ? and I found this folder with a rubber band around it, and it just said The Rum Diary.
?I started reading it and said to Hunter, ?What?s the matter with you? Publish the thing ? it?s great.? It was that night that he said, ?Maybe we should make this into a movie together…??
The Rum Diary was published in 1998 and Depp and Thompson began the process of securing backers to finance the film.
Then, on February 20, 2005, came the news that Thompson, 67, had shot himself.

Maybe the outside world seems unnatural because he’s drunk out of his skull whenever he goes out. Johnny’s an interesting guy. At some point though his kind of outsider personality started to become a gimmick and overshadow what a great guy he’s been known as. Like it’s clear to me he’s caught up in the Hollywood game again, as much as he professes to find it hard to deal with. Maybe that’s what we do to our celebrities now, we can’t stand to see them on top for so long so we look at the chinks and we pick at them until they seem to take over the person we’ve come to know for years. I want to be wrong, I want to like him again, but sadly his popularity may be waning. The Rum Diary underperformed at the box office on this opening weekend, placing fifth with just a $5 million take, behind Footloose in its third week and Paranormal Activity in its second. Puss in Boots was number 1 with a $34 million opening. I find this pretty surprising, since I’ve been seeing ads for Rum Diary all over the place and Johnny has been a box office draw in the past.
