Olympics Open Post: Duchess Kate goes sailing & swimmers party in London

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 08:45 AM PDT

Is anyone else kind of Olympic'd out? I am. I'm still watching, of course, but it's not like I'm going to stay up until midnight to watch some gymnasts bust their butts. So, like we did yesterday, these are some assorted photos from the Olympics and various Olympic-related events. It actually might turn into something of a "Hot Guy Olympics" because we have a bunch of new photos of some of the hot American swimmers. These first photos are of Duchess Kate on a sailboat, where she met Ben Ainslie and some of the other British team. She watched the sailing race, and she wore her hair in a great ponytail. Sigh… I wish she would do ponytails more often. She looks awesome with a ponytail.

As I said in yesterday's Open Post, track & field events aren't my favorites, so if you're coming here for an update on who won what, you're in the wrong place. Plus, I'm trying not to do spoilers. I will say that I'm proud of Team USA's women's soccer team. I will also say that I didn't cover the completely amazing Gabby Douglas simply because we didn't have photos, and because I think other sites were covering her historic win a lot better. I'm also not going to cover that stupid controversy over Gabby's hair. Because it's a really dumb and nasty controversy, and I don't even want to get into it. So… let's get to the photos we do have.

Here's UK gymnast Louis Smith showing off his medals.

Usain Bolt competing in the 200 meter semi-finals today. My opinion of Bolt completely changed after I saw NBC's interview with him. He seems like a sweetheart. A cocky sweetheart, but a sweetheart nonetheless.

Chris Hemsworth celebrated Jamaica Independence day in London. I have no idea if this was some kind of Olympics thing, but the pics are cute.

The American swimmers are done at the Olympics, but almost all of them are staying in London to party. Many were at a Speedo event last night – here's Ryan Lochte, who I can no longer get hot for.

Natalie Coughlin – NBC cutaway to her several times during the competitions.

Nathan Adrian is HOT.

Michael Phelps with his girlfriend. We already discussed that situation.

Tom Cruise took Suri to Cinderella’s Castle Suite, she & Katie ride in taxicabs

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 08:33 AM PDT

Katie Holmes Suri Cruise

Yesterday, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise visited the Museum of Modern Art in New York City along with the Sculpture Garden, where Suri was spottedsinging, smiling and skipping back and forth, never far from her mom – or a bodyguard.” After their educational adventure, Suri and Katie waited outside the museum for a cab. Over the past few weeks, Katie’s been moving away from using a private car and trying to get Suri used to taking a more plebian form of transportation. It’s not the subway, of course, but that would be a fairly impossible endeavor when it comes to the throngs of paparazzi who follow them. If you’re wondering why Katie is holding Suri as they stand on the curb, the below photos might provide a good indication of just how intimidated Suri was in the presence of all of those paps and tourists.

Meanwhile, Tom’s team is still leaking details about he and Suri’s fabulous Disney World mini-break last week. Not only did Tom shell out thousands of dollars to spoil the hell out of his child, but he also managed to secure a night in Cinderella’s Castle Suite, which “cannot be booked at any price.” But when Tom put in a request? Of course Tom got what he wanted — but he was probably wondering why more slave labor wasn’t involved:

Not everyone gets to step into Cinderella’s shoes.

Suri Cruise was the envy of children everywhere as she toured Disney World with dad Tom Cruise last week.

But perhaps the best part of the 6-year-old’s adventure has been staying in one of Disney’s most coveted rooms, Cinderella’s Castle Suite. The room cannot be booked at any price, but it’s often used by Disney for charity events and promotions, so the mystery of what it’s like to spend a night inside is part of its appeal. Suri – who wore an Ariel costume while exploring the park last Monday – loves princesses and even celebrated her 3rd birthday with a Beauty and the Beast-themed cake, so visiting the suite must have been a dream come true for the young fan.

Four stories above the Magic Kingdom sits Cinderella’s Castle Suite, which is decorated as a 17th-century chamber, with a sitting room, bedchamber and bathroom off a private marble-floored foyer. Staying in the suite includes access to a 24-hour concierge, ready to make your wish his command. Originally conceived as an apartment for Walt Disney and his family to stay in while in Florida (unfortunately, Walt died in 1966, five years before Disney World opened), two queen-sized beds and a pullout couch can accommodate up to six people.

The suite’s layout may sound modest, but its details are extraordinary. In the foyer, a mosaic of Cinderella’s coach was made with more than 30,000 tiles, including 3,400 that are 24-carat gold and more than 120 white gold pieces. In the bedchamber, a 600-lb. antique limestone fireplace utilizes fiber optics to create the likeness of a “fire” with glowing embers, two custom designed 8-ft. tall headboards display “C” for Cinderella, and a painting of the Disney princess that uses special effects to magically transform into a television.

In the sitting room, stained glass windows tell the story of Cinderella’s journey from pauper to princess. In the garden-themed bathroom, dome ceilings display a night sky full of twinkling stars, three mosaics – which feature a glass slipper, a crystal pumpkin and a mouse looking up toward the castle – made of Italian glass contain more than 30,000 tiles, each hand-cut and placed by Disney artists.

[From People]

Certainly, this would be the ultimate dream come true, and you can see some really amazing photos of the suite, which is located on the fourth floor of the world-famous Disney World castle, here. But obviously, Tom isn’t just looking to make his child’s wildest dreams come true. Instead, he’s making a very clear statement — Daddy gives you the life of a princess, and then Mommy makes you take a cab. So nefarious.

Rachel Weisz on Daniel Craig: “I love being married to Daniel, it’s very grounding”

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 07:55 AM PDT

I'm sorry, but I just think Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are the hottest celebrity couple going at this point. Yes, they got together under suspicious circumstances. Yes, Daniel is a curmudgeon who loves to complain. But… my God, I bet their sex life is incredible. I bet it's crazy. How could it not be crazy? Anyway, Rachel is promoting The Bourne Legacy these days – it comes out this week. And she's been giving some interesting interviews too – she sat down with Hello Magazine, and she ended up talking about Daniel more than she ever has before. Because the orgasms are just THAT powerful.

What she finds attractive in a man: "There is something incredibly sexy about a man who is good at what he does. Ask any woman and she'll agree that to see a man be really talented in his line of work is amazingly attractive. I'm not sure it necessarily works the other way, that men are so interested in that quality in a woman… but we women, we love talent in our men."

On Daniel: “I love being married to Daniel… It’s a wonderful feeling of stability and it’s very grounding. I mean, it hasn't made more domestic or anything – just being married doesn't suddenly make you able to cook – but I am very happy right now. Extremely happy, in fact."

On her relationship to Darren Aronofsky: "I was living in sin. We did talk about getting married, how we'd do it, what kind of ceremony we'd have, but somehow we never found the time to make up our minds and actually tie the knot."

Working with Daniel Craig 20 years ago on a play: They'd kept in casual contact ever since. Neither is about to divulge what happened on the moonlit nights in Canada while filming Dream House, but they emerged a couple and around a year later, they married in New York.

Running in The Bourne Legacy: "I have to do a lot of running in the film and the hardest thing I had to learn was how not to run like a girl. Apparently, because women's hips are wider than men's it means our feet turn out when we run and I really had to work on that. I was difficult."

On her son, Henry: "He not really interested in what I do. When I was shooting Oz, I said, 'Come and see me, Mommy's going to fly, want to come and watch?' and he just didn't care. That's fine – he has his own fantasy life, which is much richer than anything he can see in the movies. And why should movies be so special to him? His dad makes them all the time. And… well, his stepdad is James Bond, isn't he?"

She finds many actresses attractive: ”Acting is a different world. I find women sexier on screen than men. ‘People like Gena Rowlands, Juliette Binoche and Cate Blanchett. ‘When you work with actors, you don’t find them particularly sexy. Brendan Fraser, in ‘The Mummy’, for example, is very gentle for a big action man. Almost courtly, in fact. ‘He is quite mysterious, with a lot going on in his head.”

Being grounded: ”I think being a mum has completely grounded me. Being a mum is just delicious.

[From Contact Music and Hello Magazine, print edition]

Is the running thing true, or did they just tell her that because they were startled by her duck-like run? Whatever. As for all of her lovely-dovey talk about Daniel… I told you. It's the sex. They're still in the "OMG, we have to bone all the time" phase. And it's hot.

Lady Gaga & Taylor Kinney have been together one year…? Really?

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 07:14 AM PDT

Lady Gaga posted the above photo to her Little Monsters site yesterday with the comment "T and Me". 'T' being Taylor Kinney. So… I guess they're back on or they were never off? Unfortunately, I keep hearing rumors about Lady Gaga's love life. I try to ignore those rumors for the most part, because I can't imagine her in a functional relationship, and because I think her personal life is probably pretty rough. I keep hearing that Gaga and Taylor Kinney are always on-and-off, that they're constantly breaking up and getting back together, and that he's kind of a user. I also hear that Gaga still isn't done with Luc Carl, and that Luc is still very much in the picture – sometimes. There might even be some overlap between Luc Carl and Taylor as far as Gaga's affections go. Of course, if you told me that Taylor was screwing around too, I would believe you.

Page Six also reports this morning that Taylor and Gaga celebrated their "first anniversary" in Chicago, where he's filming Chicago Fire (otherwise known as "Hot Dudes Fulfilling Your Fireman Fantasies"). They ate at Spiaggia with "four pals" and had oysters and cavier. Apparently, Gaga has been spending some time in Chicago for a while as Kinney films. Hm.

Meanwhile, Gaga announced her new album – it will be called ARTPOP. She's been tweeting and posting a lot of images lately – I'm including a promotional photo for Gaga's Fame fragrance (the one of Gaga from behind), plus some "Gaga Unicorn" photos, plus the ARTPOP announcement, via tattoo.

Natalie Portman served vegan food at her wedding, didn’t even have a cake

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 05:25 AM PDT

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied got married in Big Sur on Saturday. Apparently, it was a pretty traditional Jewish wedding, although some of you took issue with Natalie for being a "cafeteria Jew" (like cafeteria Catholic, I suppose), picking and choosing what she believed in as far as her Jewish faith. What I found surprising were the little things – I didn't know Jewish weddings could go down on the Sabbath. I didn't know you could have a traditional Jewish wedding outside of the temple. And I thought traditional Jewish brides had to be more covered up than Natalie was – The Mail has some photos of Natalie in her Rodarte wedding gown, and you can see them here. Her arms are covered (in transparent white), but the dress is a tea-length A-line. Is that allowed?! Besides all of that, Natalie's wedding sounds okay. The only food was vegan, though. Ugh.

The wedding between Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied reflected not just the bride’s Jewish faith and the groom’s French nationality, but also the couple’s outlook on the world.

Instead of having flowers flown in, the ceremony featured wildflowers indigenous to the Big Sur coast where the ceremony took place, and instead of “fish or steak” the menu was strictly vegan in keeping with the bride’s diet.

Portman, 31, chose a traditional white gown from Rodarte, the same house that made the purple dress that Portman wore to the 2010 Oscars, and wore a crown of white wildflowers in her hair. The groom, 35, wore a midnight blue tux.

The 45-minute ceremony, said to be designed and coordinated by LA-based wedding planers Yifat Oren and Stefanie Cove, took place on a bluff overlooking the ocean and under a rustic Jewish chuppah made of twigs. They were surrounded by family (including 14-month-old son Aleph and friends, including Ivanka Trump and Macaulay Culkin,

During the ceremony, the couple were wrapped in a tallits, a Jewish prayer shawl, and in keeping with custom, things ended with Millepied smashing a glass to shouts of “Mazel Tov!”

The reception was held under a tent at a private residence, and featured a Klezmer band. The newly married couple kicked the dancing off with a 20-minute hora dance before being lifted up in chairs by guests.

Eschewing the traditional wedding cake, the couple opted for French macaroons.

When things wrapped up around 2 a.m., the approximately 100 guests took home packets of wildflower seeds as party favors. The packets were inscribed with a single word: “Merci.”

[From People]

Aw, I like that they did the breaking of the glass (it's symbolic of the breaking of the hymen, which… too little, too late). And they danced the hora! YAY. Thoughts on the lack of a wedding cake? Thoughts on the macaroons and the "gift" of wildflower seeds? Eh. I don't have an issue with macaroons… but she should have had a cake as well! Why even get married if you're not going to have a wedding cake? That's, like, one of the few reasons to get married. THE CAKE.

Let's see, other details… a source told In Touch Weekly, "Her dress was stunning, not overly showy or revealing. Very much her own subtle and pretty personal style – she always has a hippie theme, whatever she does." Um, really? Natalie is a hippie? When did that happen? Some of the guests: Diane Sawyer and her husband Mike Nichols (Nichols directed Portman in Closer), Ivanka Trump, Macaulay Culkin and Rashida Jones. Which sounds like the guest list was chosen by picking named out of a hat. I wonder if any of Benjamin's ballet friends were even invited? Hm.

Honey Boo Boo Chile’s TLC show premieres tomorrow and it looks outrageous

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 05:02 AM PDT


This is a promotional photo from TLC. I did not just pick the worst photo to use

Six year-old Honey Boo Boo Chile, one of the precocious stars of TLC’s “Toddlers & Tiaras,” has her own spin-off show on TLC. Honey Boo Boo’s co-star, Eden Wood, got a show on Logo this year called “Eden’s World” in which she and her family coached other tots in the competitive, bizarre world of child beauty pageants. So I guess this is the second spin off for a T&T castmember, featuring the one with the most colorful family to put it lightly.

Earlier this year we covered Honey Boo Boo and her mom, June, on Dr. Drew. June admitted that she regularly gives her daughter a mixture of Red Bull and Mountain Dew as part of her pageant prep, calling it “Go Go Juice.” No we can get a glimpse inside their fascinating family life, and the preview makes the show look as exploitative as a kiddie beauty pageant. Here’s more:

Get your go-go juice and tiara because it's the Return of Honey Boo Boo! Toddlers & Tiaras' breakout pageant superstar, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, is back, and this time she’s brought her entire family with her! Yee haw! And we have a sneak peek at all the hilarity in store for TLC's August 8th premiere!

TLC introduced 6-year-old pageant princess Alana in January and she instantly became an internet sensation with her thick accent, go-go juice-imbibing ways, coupon-queen mom, and her signature catch phrase, “A dollah makes me hollah, honey boo boo.”

Each episode follows Alana, her stay-at-home mom June, chalk-mining dad "Sugar Bear," sisters 12-year-old Lauryn, 15-year-old Jessica, and 17-year-old pregnant Anna. From four-wheeling through mud pits to picking up road kill for the family cookout and beauty pageants, viewers see more to the trials and tribulations of a family living in rural Georgia.

Here Comes Honey Boo Boo premieres on Wednesday, August 8, 2012 on TLC with six half-hour episodes.

[From The Insider]

For those of you who watch The Simpsons – do you remember when Cletus’ kids got hired by Krusty the Clown to provide entertainment on his show, and made them play up being backwoods hicks? That’s what this show reminds me of. Only Lisa isn’t going to swoop in and save anyone from this mess.

Here’s the trailer for the show. There’s a 17 year-old sister who is pregnant, the family has a pig that seems to live in the house, and their recreational activities include four wheeling and jumping into mud. A commenter on YouTube mentions that the mother, June, is 32, which would have made her about 14 when her oldest daughter was conceived. (The 17 year-old that’s pregnant now.) Her husband is 40, which means he was about 22 at the time and it was statutory rape. I just hope June is lying about her age.

I can’t with this show. TLC should be ashamed, but you know that network has no capacity for shame. They regularly feature people who eat rocks and drink their own pee. Watching these clips makes me feel sick to my stomach, not because of this family but because a show like this even got made.

Here’s a clip where they go to an auction and bid on donuts or something. The mother sneezes multiple times during her interview segment and never says “excuse me.” There’s another clip available on Huffington Post where the pregnant 17 year-old gets an ultrasound and the technician makes the brilliant decision to perform one on six year-old Honey Boo Boo so she can see the chicken nuggets in her stomach. (Really.) I’ll say something nice – she’s a cute kid.

Kristen Stewart & Garrett Hedlund have chemistry in the new ‘On the Road’ trailer

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 04:24 AM PDT

Now that we know Kristen Stewart is capable of rolling her eyes provocatively at other men, it's time we review Kristen's previous associations with other dudes, right? I remember rumors about Kristen and her male co-stars while she was filming On The Road. Kristen worked with a number of hot dudes on that movie – Garrett Hedlund, Sam Riley, Tom Sturridge (who is Rob Pattinson's BFF) and Viggo Mortensen. Now, did Kristen fool around with any of these dudes? Doubtful. But you've got to ask the question now that we know how self-destructive she was and is. And if I had to name one of those dudes as a potential lover… it would be Garrett. I know he's with Kiki Dunst. But Garrett is still my choice.

Anyway, there's a new trailer for On the Road. It seems like a weird time for the studio to release a new trailer, right? Or maybe it's a brilliant timing choice. Re-focus on Kristen Stewart, The Actress, in a role that's giving her some of the better reviews of her career. From what I've heard of the film, Kristen plays it very sexy – she's playing the 16-year-old bride of Dean Moriarty, and she has sex scenes and she goes topless, etc. Here's the new trailer:

I have to admit, I’ll be seeing this. It might be a rental for me, but I will see this.

And here's the first trailer (which we saw a few months ago):

You know what's weird? On the Road doesn't have an American release date yet. I wonder if producers are worried that Kristen's former fan-girls are going to picket all of her movies now.

Meanwhile, Kristen's last lover now thinks that fooling around with Kristen is the "the worst mistake of his life". According to Radar, Rupert Sanders is in a pit of despair because he succumbed to sexy lip-biting:

Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders is desperately trying to save his marriage following revelations he cheated on his wife, Liberty Ross, with Kristen Stewart, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. Sanders has confessed to friends that he made “the worst mistake of my life” as he fears his wife will refuse to forgive him and file for divorce.

“Liberty is not making this easy for Rupert, not surprisingly,” a source close to the situation tells RadarOnline.com. “She is refusing to see him right now and has not spoken to him about if they have a future together or not. Rupert is willing to do absolutely anything and everything he can to save his marriage, he realizes this is the worst mistake of his life, and he cannot believe he was so stupid. The thought of losing his wife and children, who he loves more than anything in the world is killing him.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Stewart released a statement shortly after news broke of the affair insisting that it was a “momentary indiscretion” but, photos have surfaced showing Stewart and the married director looking cozy together back in May during an intimate dinner in Berlin and there have been several reports that the affair lasted for “months.”

Ross was photographed out with her two children Sunday, pointedly not wearing a wedding ring, and the source says she is in serious turmoil as to whether she will ever be able to forgive her cheating husband.

“Liberty has told Rupert she just doesn’t think she will be able to trust him again,” the source says. “This affair went on right under her nose and she feels like he has made her look like a fool. Rupert is just hoping it will blow over soon and he can win her back, but that is looking ever increasingly unlikely.”

[From Radar]

I keep saying that I really hope Liberty leaves him. I think she's been unhappy in LA for a while, and she probably wants to move back to London, and that will become the big issue. And I really hope Rob has dumped Kristen too, although I'm expecting a lot of back-and-forth on that issue for the next few months. But the Rupert-Liberty thing seems more clean-cut – she should throw the bastard out.

Pink is the newest face of CoverGirl, an unconventional & brilliant choice?

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 04:20 AM PDT

You know what surprises me? Every woman that I've encountered kind of loves Pink. They either like her music or they like her personality, or both. She's brash and funny and smart… and she has a lot of heart. So… basically, she's a pretty good role model for women of all ages. Which means Pink's newest gig is pretty cool – the announcement came yesterday: Pink is the newest face of CoverGirl. She joins the ranks of Taylor Swift, Sofia Vergara, Drew Barrymore, Ellen DeGeneres and Queen Latifah. Pink tweeted the header photo with the message, "Guess who’s the new COVERGIRL!!!!!!!!!!!”

The CoverGirls had better look out — there's a tough new girl in town. Pink was named the newest face of the beauty brand Monday, joining Taylor Swift, Sofia Vergara, Drew Barrymore, Ellen DeGeneres and Queen Latifah (plus two Olympic stars).

"Joining a group of women who have always inspired me — to laugh out loud, let my guard down, or play around with my beauty look — is such an honor," the singer says in a release. "I have a lot to celebrate. I called my new album The Truth About Love, and the truth is that I have my beautiful family and baby girl, my new music and now my partnership with CoverGirl to love."

"Pink is a powerful and provocative role model, who has always been an advocate of individualism and making no apologies for who you are," adds CoverGirl vice president and general manager Esi Eggleston Bracey. "We love the energy and confidence that she radiates, and the fact that inside and out she's as cool as she looks. She's an awesome addition to our CoverGirl family."

Going hand-in-hand with that image, Pink will first promote what the brand is touting as a "bold new mascara innovation," and celebrate "beauty with an edge" through all of her campaigns. Her first ads will debut this fall.

[From People]

While I never would have thought of Pink as a potential choice to front a makeup/beauty line, I have to applaud CoverGirl's bold, somewhat unconventional choice. Pink gave birth to Willow last year, and Pink turns 33 years old next month… both of which give her an "in" with CoverGirl's target markets, I'm sure. I like it when makeup and beauty companies hire "unconventional" people, and I like when they hire someone in their 30s or 40s. As I get older, I get angrier and angrier when some 20-year-old is selling me something. But I identify with Pink – and I think a lot of women will too. Which makes this a brilliant choice.

For CoverGirl's part, their press release said, "With the signing of Pink, COVERGIRL is celebrating ‘Beauty with an Edge’ and who better to deliver that message than someone who embodies art and attitude. Pink and COVERGIRL are looking to inspire women to celebrate their individuality and never settle for a single beauty standard.” The ad campaign will roll out this fall, and will feature a lot of bright candy colors, apparently. If only I could pull off orange.

Karl Lagerfeld’s cat, Princess Choupette, gets her own mag spread: amazing?

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 04:17 AM PDT

I'm not even going to pretend that I'm writing about this photo spread for any real gossipy, newsy or controversial reason. I just like cat photos, and I love that Karl Lagerfeld is a newly-minted "cat person" who gives interviews about his beautiful, fluffy, darling kitty Choupette. Lagerfeld has already photographed Choupette, of course, for Harper's Bazaar. Plus, Karl posts photos of Choupette on his Twitter page, which is probably my favorite sentence of all time. Last week, Karl talked even more about Choupette and how "not commercial" she is and how she will never be tainted by his business. Of course, Choupette also flies on Karl's private jet, goes to the vet every ten days, and has three dedicated maids. And she had her own iPad. Which she knows how to use. Anyway, Choupette may not be "commercial" but she has gotten her own photo spread in I-D Magazine (photos at the end of the post):

Fashion's finest feline, Choupette is a lover of shopping (bags in particular), iPads and antique lace, and is the proud pussy of Chanel Creative Director and recent i-D cover star, Karl Lagerfeld. Fast racking up column inches and accumulating a loyal following in the process (see head fan Hudson pictured below), Choupette is the most famous and fabulous pet Paris has ever seen. Here, i-D gets to know Choupette le chat a little better, speaking to King Karl about her loves and hates and scooping a particularly special illustrated insight into her supermodel statistics, penned by Mr Lagerfeld himself. Pictured here taking shelter in a colette bag, lounging in some lace, readying herself for her vacation perched on a Goyard trunk or two, and frolicking on a candy-striped deck chair in sizzling St Tropez, ici la i-Profile du Choupette…

Tell us a bit about Choupette… Her name is Choupette, Princess Choupette or Miss Choupette. She's snow white with touches of caramel around the eyes, ears and on her endless boa-like feather tail.

How tall is she? It's difficult to say. She has reached her final size but is kind of tiny.

What are her pet hates? Water and getting wet.

What are her favourite things to do in her free time? Sleeping, hiding, running and jumping like mad around the house. Chasing big fleas in her private garden and making it difficult for me work by jumping on the paper. She loves to destroy paper, that is what she loves to do the most and also driving her beloved maids (Francoise and Marjorie) crazy. With me she is sweet and calm.

[From I-D]

OMG, Choupette has her own private garden? She terrorizes "the staff"? She hates water? Magnificent. So… here are the photos. I love Choupette Lagerfeld so much.

Johnny Depp looks less puffy in a solo outing to Pink Taco: hot or busted?

Posted: 07 Aug 2012 04:16 AM PDT

These are some new photos of Johnny Depp at a party at Pink Taco last night. He was celebrating with Steven Tyler and Aerosmith – the party was for their new album, Music From Another Dimension. Johnny sings "backing vocals" on at least one of the songs on the new album, and I guess he's tight with all of those rockers, right? Johnny was flying solo at the event, and reportedly Depp seemed in "high spirits" as he laughed and joked with fans, and signed lots of autographs. He even looks better in these photos – not so puffy and tired. Maybe he's not drinking so much. Also: hand to God, Johnny has better eyeliner-application skills than Duchess Kate.

As for who Johnny is with these days, and whether or not he's single or trying to reconcile with Vanessa Paradis or Amber Heard (or both), I don't really know. Us Weekly had this story several days ago:

Amicable exes! On July 18, just one month after announcing the end of their 14-year-partnership, Johnny Depp, 49, and Vanessa Paradis, 39, reunited at their $5 million mansion in the South of France with their kids, Lily-Rose, 13, and Jack, 10.

“They were both relieved they got along well,” a source close to the pair tells Us Weekly. When the clan ventured to the nearby Plan de la Tour market on July 19, “they were joking around,” local Sofia DeCout says. “At one point, Johnny held Vanessa’s hand!”

Despite the sweet gesture, Depp and Paradis won’t reconcile (and, a source adds, he’s still dating Amber Heard.)

Explains the insider, “They are looking forward, not backward.”

I don't even know. Maybe Vanessa and Johnny are back together. Maybe they're just playing nice for their kids. Maybe they were never really apart, but just on a time-out. I have no idea at this point. I suspect Vanessa has a better idea of what she wants, but God knows what is going on in Johnny's head at this point.

PS… I'm enchanted by that photo of Depp signing his autograph. Is he drawing a dong?
