musical collaboration. Depp, 59, and the 78-year-old former Yardbirds axman released an album dubbed “18” last month, weeks after the actor won his bombshell defamation trial against ex-wife Amber Heard.One of the record’s tracks features Depp uttering lines that were spoken by a convicted murderer and robber named Slim Wilson in 1964, according to Rolling Stone.Slim Wilson — whose real name was Willie Davis — was a train-hopping pimp and gambling cheat that recited a series of lewd poems.The poems, called “toasts,” were recorded by folklorist Bruce Jackson while Wilson served time in Missouri State Penitentiary, the outlet reported.Bruce Jackson recorded Wilson reciting a toast called “Hobo Ben” and included a transcription of the piece in his 1974 book “Get Your Ass in The Water and Swim Like Me.”Lines from “Hobo Ben” reappeared almost verbatim on Depp and Beck’s new experimental spoken-word song “Sad Mother—–n’ Parade,” on which the duo received the only songwriting credits.“The only two lines I could find in the whole piece that [Depp and Beck] contributed are ‘Big time motherf—-r’ and ‘Bust it down to my level,’” Jackson told Rolling Stone.
“Everything else is from Slim’s performance in my book. I’ve never encountered anything like this.
I’ve been publishing stuff for 50 years, and this is the first time anybody has just ripped something off and put his own name on it.”Jackson’s son, Michael Lee Jackson is a lawyer who specializes in music and intellectual property, according to the outlet.“They do not reflect the actual authorship of those lyrics,” Michael reportedly said. “It’s just not plausible, in my opinion, that Johnny Depp or anybody else could have sat down and crafted those lyrics without almost wholly

Johnny Depp is reportedly in talks to make a surprise appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards dressed as a Moonman, according to TMZ, After four decades of captivating fans with his portrayal of eccentric characters in films like Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissorhands, the 59-year-old actor is rumored to be taking the stage as the network's famous mascot. While he is not nominated at the award ceremony, which will air next Sunday, the movie star has previously won MTV Movie Awards for Best Male Performance, Best Villain, Global Superstar and the Generation Award.

Although the Danish star arrived at the Sarajevo Film Festival to receive his Honorary Heart of Sarajevo Award for his outstanding contribution to the art of film, many of the crowd who attended the event’s morning “Coffee With…” event on Monday seemed, rather worryingly, to be fans of Mads Mikkelsen’s TV work, notably HBO’s cannibal drama Hannibal. Nevertheless, the actor took their questions in his stride, as part of a wide-ranging conversation that embraced his early career in Danish indie cinema, his move to the U.S. and the M.C.U., his affection for Pink Floyd, and his love of football. “I always wanted to make money out of sports,” he quipped. “It never happened.”

Newly unsealed court documents from actor Johnny Depp’s defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard, 36, have revealed several pieces of unheard information. The trial ended two months ago, with Johnny, 59, being announced to have won the trial a month later after the jury voted in his favour.

Pirates of the Caribbean and the franchise in general? There are several Pirates projects allegedly in the works, but it seems Depp is done with the Disney franchise and the Disney franchise is (mostly) done with Depp. Yet fans are still putting together plenty of fan art giving fans an idea of what it would look like if the character inhabited the role for a sixth outing, even if it took "a million alpacas" to get there. Yes, sixth film.
