POLL: What's Johnny Depp's Hottest Look?
Originally posted 11/18/2009 07:10PM
As an actor, Johnny Depp is a master at the transformation – changing up his look for each new role – but he remains consistently sexy.
Named PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive for the second time, Depp, 46, has portrayed everything from a police officer to a pirate, impressing fans and costars alike. "He really is as sexy as he's cracked up to be," his Public Enemies costar Leelee Sobieski raves.
In light of Depp's latest Sexiest Man Alive title – he received the title first in 2003 – we wonder: What's his sexiest look?

The Sexiest Man Alive: Johnny Depp
Originally posted 11/18/2009 08:00AM
Break out the Bordeaux, the whoopee cushions and the bangin' Keith Richards guitar solos, because the 2009 Sexiest Man Alive party is officially under way. Bringing the fun with him wherever he goes – whether it's onscreen in fizzy roles like Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise or at home with his family on their private Bahamian island – is just one reason why Johnny Depp, who also scored the honor in 2003, has joined an elite club of two-time SMA title holders (only Brad Pitt and George Clooney have matched the feat). At 46, the father of two still reigns as Hollywood's most irresistible iconoclast; as one-of-a-kind as his beloved 15-year-old boots and as smoldering as his favorite Cuban cigars.

From the looks of the new trailer for Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland, Alice – and movie-goers – will be in for a wild ride when the film hits theaters next year.
The fanciful Walt Disney Pictures adaptation stars Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter and Australian actress Mia Wasikowska as Alice.
Check out what happens when she falls through the rabbit hole.
Alice In Wonderland is due out March 5, 2010, which the trailer calls "a very important date," indeed.

Johnny Depp's Secret Recipe to Chill: His Own Island
Originally posted 06/01/2009 11:55AM
When not making blockbusters, Johnny Depp likes to relax far from Hollywood – around his 45-acre private Bahamian island, Little Hall's Pond Cay, to be exact.
As experienced from aboard his 156-ft. yacht, the Vajoliroja, an amalgam of the names of his children, himself, and partner Vanessa Paradis, "I don’t think I'd ever seen any place so pure and beautiful," the Public Enemies star, 45, tells Vanity Fair for its July issue, on sale nationally June 9.
The Pond Cay life, he says, "is my decompression. It's my way of trying to return to normalcy," he says. "Escapism is survival to me."

Winona Ryder Recalls Teenage Heartbreak
Originally posted 05/27/2009 02:20PM
For the past seven years, Winona Ryder has lived mostly out of the spotlight.
Now, with a role in Star Trek and the release of another movie – The Private Lives of Pippa Lee – opening in Europe soon and in the U.S. in the fall, the actress, 37, is talking about the strain of being in the public eye.
Ryder, who was engaged to Johnny Depp after co-starring with him in 1990's Edward Scissorhands (they split when she was 19), says one of her first big challenges was dealing heartache during the height of her fame.
"I had just done Dracula and Edward Scissorhands. I had just had my first real break-up, the first heartbreak," she tells Pippa Lee director Rebecca Miller, who interviewed her for the U.K. edition of Elle, out Wednesday.
"And I think it was really ironic because, like, everybody else just thought I had everything in the world, you know, I had no reason to be depressed, everything was sort of at its peak, but inside I was completely lost.
"I remember feeling, 'I can't complain about anything, because I'm so lucky, I'm so lucky.' After that I realized I needed to take time off more [regularly]."

POLL: Who Should Play Frank Sinatra?
Originally posted 05/15/2009 09:35AM
The race is on in Hollywood to play Ol' Blue Eyes.
Oscar winner Martin Scorsese will be directing and producing a biopic about legendary singer Frank Sinatra, who died in 1998 at age 82. The hot-tempered Sinatra led a famously colorful life: He wed four times (including to movie stars Ava Gardner and Mia Farrow), had early ties to organized crime, and starred in 50-plus movies, including the original Rat Pack extravaganza, Ocean’s Eleven, as well as From Here to Eternity, for which he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
The role of Sinatra has yet to be cast, but the early favorite is Leonardo DiCaprio, who has made three films with Scorsese, including Shutter Island, which opens this fall. Another possible contender: Johnny Depp. Respected film industry blogger Nikki Finke reports he's the choice of the sponsoring studio, Universal. Neither actor is known for his warbling abilities, but that doesn’t matter because the film, which has the cooperation of the Sinatra estate, will use the crooner’s original recordings.
Other possible contenders? Justin Timberlake, who actually can sing and has the right hungry look. Tween heartthrob Joe Jonas has the pipes and the right look. Or maybe even Twilight’s Robert Pattinson, if he loses the fangs and nails a New Jersey accent. Pick your favorite to portray the crooner below:

Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp Most Beautiful Down Under
Originally posted 04/09/2009 01:10PM
They may be Down Under, but readers of WHO – Australia's version of PEOPLE – are anything but topsy-turvy in their selections of the world's Most Beautiful People.
Topping their list of international stars, Angelina Jolie, followed (in order) by Kate Winslet, Jessica Alba, Halle Berry and Jennifer Aniston.
In the men's vote, Johnny Depp took the crown, trailed (in descending order) by Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Orlando Bloom and David Beckham .
When it came to picking apart the stars for their enviable body parts, the WHO readers went for Aniston's hair; Jolie's eyes, lips, cheeks and breasts; Nicole Kidman's nose; Kylie Minogue's bottom; and Elle Macpherson's legs.
The ideal guy, on the other hand, would consist of Hugh Jackman's hair, eyes, nose, abs, backside, arms, chest and legs – with Brad Pitt's mouth and Johnny Depp's cheekbones.

Originally posted 02/04/2009 04:05PM
From Tyler Perry's popular Madea franchise to Dustin Hoffman's iconic (and Academy Award-nominated) drag performance in Tootsie, many leading men have happily donned a dress for a role.

Before the film hits festivals and, eventually, theaters, tell us which star you think looks better in drag:
