In what may be the biggest casting spoiler in recent film history, Michael Caine has revealed that Johnny Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman will be playing the two villains in the sequel to The Dark Knight, reportedly titled, Gotham. Director Christopher Nolan has been in hiding since TDK's release, and has been notoriously secretive and non-committal about a possible sequel. That all changed when Caine gave an interview at the Toronto Film Festival on Monday. Splash Page MTV reports:

In an interview with MTV News conducted just hours ago at the Toronto Film Festival, Michael Caine - there to promote "Is There Anybody There?" - seemed to confirm rumors that the next installment of the "Batman" film franchise will feature two very well-known names playing the roles of The Riddler and The Penguin. "They've already got them in mind," said Caine, when asked who he'd like to see take up arms against the Caped Crusader. "It's Johnny Depp as The Riddler. And The Penguin is Philip Seymour Hoffman. I read it in the paper." So Caine is like the rest of us, reading gossip in the tabloids, right? Except for one thing…according to the actor, he confirmed the news through the studio itself. "I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, 'Are we going to make another one?' They said yeah. I said, 'How the hell are we going to top Heath? And he says 'I'll tell you how you top Heath - Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.' I said, 'Shit, they've done it again!"

Wow, does MTV News sanction waterboarding during their interviews now? It certainly appears so, because Michael Caine gave that information up pretty quickly. The only way he should have said any of this is if his balls were hooked up to a car battery.

Update: Hoffman is denying these rumors here. Apparently Michael Caine is senile.

My boyfriend performing with his band a few days ago:

While on location in Wisconsin shooting the 1930s gangster flick, Public Enemies, in April, Johnny Depp met a 12-year old boy, Jack Taylor, who told the actor that he liked the fedora Depp was wearing. Much to his delight, Depp told the boy he could have the hat, which Depp wore for his portrayal of John Dillinger, as soon as the film wrapped. You want to take a guess what happened two months later? People says:

Last week, reports the Oshkosh, Wis., newspaper the Northwestern, Depp made good on his promise. Taylor received the hat. The leading man's rep also included gifts for Taylor's four siblings from Depp's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well as a note from the star himself, telling Jack to enjoy what was sent."

This is gonna sound way gayer than it should, but if Johnny Depp ever got breast implants, I'd probably try to find out what kind of flowers and candy he liked.

At this point, it's unclear why MTV is still even on the air. It sucks. If I wanted to not watch music videos because I wanted to see a bisexual Vietnamese tranny find love, I could just hang out at the train station. Except for on Sundays. That's when my Train Station Bisexual Vietnamese Tranny Addicts Anonymous (TSBVTAA for short) group usually meets. Oh, and the MTV Movie Awards were lame and boring.

Anyway, here's a bunch of pictures and a clip of Seth Rogen smoking weed on stage last night. Enjoy. Or don't. Only you can make you happy:

In the new book, Hollywood Babylon: It's Back, authors Danforth Prince and Darwin Porter have published full-frontal pictures of several actors including Johnny Depp (reportedly known as "donkey dick"), Sean Connery, and Ewan McGregor, James Woods, and Richard Gere. However, despite the explicit photographs, the real meat (haha, you see what I did there?!) of the book is the stories of old Hollywood that further prove the whole place needs to wiped out by an act of God. How crazy and depraved was Hollywood back then? Hold on to your fucking hat. Rush & Molloy report:

Dishing with abandon, the authors spare no one - especially not the dead, who can't sue. Lack of sources don't stop them from claiming:

Marilyn Monroe had an affair with Ronald Reagan. The authors also claim Monroe had a tryst with Joan Crawford but refused to make it an ongoing affair. "She had bad breath," Monroe allegedly told roommate Shelly Winters. "Besides, she wanted to do things to me that no woman should do to another woman."

James Dean showed a disconcerting interest in a 12-year-old boy in the early 1950s. Director Elia Kazan believed the tale: "I've known many actors who have been twisted up in their sex lives, but never anybody as sick and unhealthy as Dean was."

Elvis Presley had a gay old time with Nick Adams, who played Johnny Yuma in the hit TV series "The Rebel."

Lucille Ball launched herself into show business as a hooker, and her husband Desi Arnaz had a fling with Cesar Romero.

Cary Grant had an incestuous relationship with his stepson, Lance Reventlow.

Strange things happened to Judy Garland's body (this in the chapter on "Fan Worship and Necrophilia").

Police believed Bette Davis killed her second husband, Arthur Farnsworth, by hitting him on the head and causing a hemorrhage that lead to his death two weeks later. But a grand jury - six men who confessed to being ardent fans - found her innocent."

None of these stories can be confirmed of course, but I don't have a problem believing any of them, because, um well, it's Hollywood. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Denzel Washington slept with a severed head or if Ron Howard owns a private island where he hunts pregnant Haitian women.

In news to put Jenny on suicide watch, Johnny Depp is set to marry his longtime girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis, on June 14th. The pair have been dating since 1998 and have two children. MSNBC says:

The Pirates of The Caribbean actor - who was married to makeup artist Lori Anne Allison in the 80s - has previously said of his relationship with Vanessa, "For all intents and purposes, we are married," adding that, "if [Vanessa] ever said, 'Hey, let's get hitched,' I would do it in a second." A source close to the couple said: "Vanessa recently told Johnny that she would love to have a wedding. "Johnny loves Vanessa very much, and he said if that's what would make her happy, then he'd marry her." The summer wedding will be a low-key family affair. The couple's children "are really excited about it," the insider tells Life and Style magazine. "Actually the whole family is excited. "They wanted to make it convenient for Johnny's family in Florida," so the wedding will likely take place in Georgia's Tybee Island, according to the source. "They're going to send out invitations in a few weeks."

Congratulations to the happy couple during this exciting time! I bet it's almost as exciting as the time they saw my nominations for "Woman Most Likely To Build a Dam With Her Teeth." Go, Vanessa!

Depp greeting fans in Wisconsin:

In a new ad campaign that will promote safe sex and sex education, Johnny Depp has reportedly been offered $10 million to become the face of Trojan condoms. Figuratively I'm assuming. The Daily Star says:

Depp, 44, a big advocate of safe sex education, would be expected to appear in a series of offbeat TV commercials for the company's new Magnum range. Trojan bosses believe "Rubber Johnny" would not only expand sales in the US but also help inspire an anti-AIDS campaign to send free condoms to third world countries. The Pirates Of The Caribbean star also holds huge sway with teen fans and one slogan the ad executives are playing with is: "Stand up with Johnny for safer sex."

I really hope this is true because it might convince other stars to endorse sex-related stuff. Like Megan Fox for K-Y. Or Lindsay Lohan for vaginal shrink cream. It lasts for up to 24 hours!

Although you will never hear this story from him or his publicists, Johnny Depp recorded a personalized message for Sophie Wilkinson, a 17 year old straight-A student who fell into a coma after being critically injured in a car accident five months ago. Desperate to try anything that might bring his daughter back, Wilkinson's father, Andrew, wrote Depp asking for the message, explaining to Depp that he was his daughter's favorite actor and POTC was her favorite movie. And, of course, Johnny did it. In his Jack Sparrow voice.

Remarkably enough, the young girl began moving her right leg shortly after hearing the recording of Depp. The parents shed tears of joy to know that their daughter has hope of returning to life. Depp was apparently so touched with the letter written to him by Andrew, he committed himself to doing anything necessary to help out a fan and a young girl in need."

I was walking behind this really old lady in a grocery store parking lot this one time, and the poor thing could barely push her cart. I didn't want her to feel like she was slowing me down, so I walked around her really fast. She yelled something at me, probably a thank you, but I don't have time for glory and congratulations. The world is big, and my work is not yet done.
