Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are over. Finally. I mean, I’m glad they finally got around to making an official announcement because I’m so tired of typing “allegedly” over and over. This stuff has been going on for the better part of a year, and I believe that Depp was and is in the midst of mid-life crisis, complete with other women and lots of toys and money. So why all the angst and back-and-forth and outright denials? Were they really trying to work it out? Or did one of them (Vanessa?) just not want to let go?
It’s official: Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis have split after 14 years together.
The couple “have amicably separated,” Depp’s publicist said in a statement released to Entertainment Tonight Tuesday. “Please respect their privacy and, more importantly, the privacy of their children.”
As PEOPLE has reported, the two drifted into living separate lives after moving to Los Angeles from France. They haven’t appeared together on a red carpet in a year and, an insider told PEOPLE about their crumbling relationship, “It’s so sad.”
The couple have two children together: Lily-Rose, 13, and Jack, 9.
Depp, 49, and Paradis, 39, first got together in 1998. Their romance began that June, when Depp saw the French actress sitting with a group of friends at the bar of the Costes Hotel in Paris, where he was having dinner with colleagues. Depp had a friend invite her over, and they talked for two hours.
A longtime resident of Plan-de-la-Tour in southern France, Depp recently told French magazine VSD that living in France with Paradis and their kids “has given me everything. A marvelous family and also an equilibrium which I missed enormously.”
And in 2010, Paradis gushed to the U.K. edition of Marie Claire about her man.
“I could make an endless list of all the things I admire about him,” she said. “We understand that, if we want our relationship to continue, we must give each other space, allow each other to go off on our own, and trust each other. Not everyone is lucky enough to be given space and trust.”
In another interview, Paradis explained why the pair never felt the need to marry.
“I love the romance of ‘let’s get married,’ but then, when you have it so perfect … I mean, I’m more married than anybody can be – we have two kids. Maybe one day, but it’s something I can really do without,” Paradis once told Elle.
Well, it should be interesting to see how all of this plays out. What does a single Johnny Depp look like in today’s Hollywood? Are women just going to be throwing themselves at him right and left? Will Johnny remain single for a while or do you think he’ll plunge head-first into another relationship? Ashley Olsen wants to know. As does Amber Heard. And Eva Green. As for Vanessa… I feel bad for her. I feel like she put up with a lot of crap from him in the end. Of course, I also think that Vanessa is going to walk away with a nice, quiet settlement, and she’s going to find someone sexy and French to hang out with next. So maybe Vanessa wins in the end, because she’s not the one having a mid-life crisis in the middle of Hollywood.

My first reaction was “whhhattt not way!” but to be honest they been denying it for a while. Girls Johnny on the market, would you take it?
Unabashedly yes!!!
Non! Le gros con!
I would NOT HIT IT.
I would HIT HIM.
I think I speak for many many women now when I say he’s gone from hero to zero through his apalling behavior.
Dude portrays himself as a semi-intellectual actor but he needs to get himself a copy of the Iliad asap. Every man worth his salt know you tie yourself to the mast and dont get sucked in by the sirens…
He had something special with Vanessa and his little children and their life in France but, in the end wanted what so many men want…
More.
Simply more. Of everything.
It’s his downfall and it’s been the downfall of many men who have had what counts and are willing to discard.
Honnetement, maintenant tout le monde se fout de sa gueule. Cretin.
haha. woops..The Odyssey.
That was a fantastic post!
🙂 I couldn’t stop laughing, yours is the best response here yet. I couldn’t agree with you more
Had me from Le gros con.
And crétin is f-cking right! Awesome post Endoplasmic 🙂 .
Loved the Iliad reference 🙂
yeah, he’s just yet another player that can’t keep it in his pants, apparently.
Sigh, nobody with kids ever stays married anymore. Poor kids.
Ton commentaire m’a fait bien rire, t’y es pas allée par 4 chemins!!!
Cela dit je partage ton opinion sur Mister Johnny Depp. J’ajouterais que ce mec est probablement en pleine crise de la quarantaine et désespéré de revenir ou au moins de recréer le temps ou il était le plus beau et le plus cool, après tout il a un peu perdu de sa superbe depuis un moment…
+ to all the aboves
true dat and while we’re at it, could he please lose that phony accent? s’il vous plait?
Perfectly stated Endoplasmic! Beautiful analogy. I used to love this guy, but Hero to Zero is right! His outward appearance now resembkes a confused, older woman at times. The ugly jackets, weird scarves, stupid glasses. He looks unkempt. So physically, he just doesn’t do it for me anymore. His recent attitude and behavior clinched it though. He will look back with regret, as so many men do, and realize he threw it all away. For the booze, for women, for ego. I hope Vanessa lives a fabulous life in France, finds herself someone who will truly cherish her. Living a full, loving, happy life is always the sweetest revenge.
J’espère qu’il laissera les enfants en France. Ce serait déplorable si par-dessus tout, ils devraient être témoins de sa débandade. Moi, je ne m’en fais pas pour Vanessa. Elle a de meilleures amitiés. Bon poste.
@endoplasmic_ridiculum
” Every man worth his salt know you tie yourself to the mast and dont get sucked in by the sirens…”
Love that. Men can be so weak with their weenies.
Very well put!
I had to Google the French because I was only taught to say nice things in French. LOL. I totally agree with everything you said.
His head is so up his ass that he doesn’t even understand how bad his timing is. He is losing his audience. Not even I have seen Dark Shadows and I love Tim Burton but I was already sooo sick of Johnny Depp that I didn’t even bother to see Pirates 4.
I’m not alone. There was even an op-ed piece in the LA Times asking if Johnny Depp had lost his MoJo. I say he has. He plays the same character in funny make up and an English accent in every film although to be fair when he tries to look normal we don’t want to see it – probably because we are too young to care about the beat poets or whomever he thinks he is. Burroughs, Bukowski, Kerouac, Ginsberg, Thompson… none of those subjects interest me. I never bothered with Thompson when he was a regular in Rolling Stone and I washed my hands of the others the minute I walked out of college. They have an audience somewhere but not in mainstream Hollywood movies starring actors who think they are hipper and cooler than Kerouac was at his prime.
That was a long winded way of saying Johnny Depp is a low talent, pretentious asshole who aspires to the true outsider status and rebelliousness of his idols but he is no where near as interesting as his idols were at their peak.
Again. I am neither a fan nor a hater of the beat generation. It’s just something that happened before me my idols were Kurt Cobain and Trent Reznor. Depp thinks he is them as well. He thinks he is so cool now because he is on Reznor protege Marilyn Manson’s new album. Does he think for one millisecond that Marilyn Manson would have given him a second look 15 years ago when he was relevant? Oh hell to da NO! Johnny Depp is to MM what LiLo is to Lifetime television – stunt casting, free press, maybe a second chance with new fans.
End of nonsensical rant …. Johnny Depp est une blague putain – pardon my French.
jaja LOVE your odyssey reference 🙂 🙂
Another NON-Fan! (And I’m proud to be in such good company:-)
I’d TOTALLY hit it!!! ……… with a shovel!
Bwaaaahhahaaaaaaha!
Excellent!
OMG!!! Too funny!!!
I’m off the Depp bandwagon. Someone else can take my place.
Newp, he’s just a leetle bit too girlyman for my taste. I don’t want a bf who wears more make-up and jewelry than me.
In the 90s, yes, but now he’s so scruffy and I’ve heard he’s not keen on showers, so no thanks. He’d look nicer with a new pair of glasses too.
*prepares to dodge flying tomatoes*
No. He’s old and gross now.
I would take that, hit that then rinse and repeat.
as much as everyone saw that one coming, it’s quite sad considering they were one of very few hollywood couples who were together for so long. ah, well that’s the way the cookie crumbles in hollyweird, i suppose….
Even the most solid appearing couples collapse in Hollywood 🙁
Ok now, Brad and Angelina, get in line. Yes, stand your asses right there behind Will and Jada.
and tom and katie
hee-hee – You made me lol! 🙂
I know it’ll disappoint a lot of people, but Brangelina are probably going to be around forever, like Bill and Jane Pitt….
It’s not because they share some “special love” or some crap like that. It’s simple. They spend time together. One works and the other doesn’t, so they always live in the same place. Angelina said they’re never more than 3 days a part (although last year they were apart about one week and when Brad films reshoots, I think he’ll probably fly to london on weekends).
Anyway….how can a marriage/relationship, especially in hollywood, last when you don’t see each other face to face for anywhere from 2-4 months?
Jolie and Pitt figured out the key to making it work.
they seem to work on it, right but also consider that being such a couple brings them a lot more attention and power. brad and angelina were big names before they got together but the moment they were together they became like hollywood royalty. they both had some good performances but its nowhere near hanks and streep but their relationship helps them a lot.
they are the only real “power couple” (i hate this term). other big names in hollywood are together with lesser known people. (no offense i actually think that works better) hanks has a wife that acts and sings but nowhere near a-list, meryl streep has got a sculptor, julia roberts a camera guy, tom cruise has a lesser known actress that barely works nowadays, depp had paradis who had also an own career but nowhere as a-list as johnny and so on.
dont get me wrong they both have talent and star power on their own but without each other they wouldnt be in the place they are right now.
i also think that brad is more stable as a person than johnny.
the gossip is that it isnt any of the women mentioned above.
people are talking about his close relationship with his pr woman, the ladies mentioned above are just as covers for the press
Do you have any links to articles to confirm this? It’s an interesting theory…
a pic from a french mag
http://www.voici.fr/news-people/actu-people/johnny-depp-embrasse-une-autre-femme-demain-dans-voici-402267
Thanks BB! I vaguely recall this now, after seeing the picture of them kissing – didn’t they play it off as saying they were “just” friends/business partners?
Oh, come on! Not saying they’re not involved but that pic proves nothing – it looks like your typical European goodbye kiss between friends.
the other woman he kissed is one of his publicist
The French Gossip mag VOICI did the cover about their split this saturday (Paradis is looking for a new house next to Depp’s house whereas Depp lived in a hotel in waiting)
I’m from Europe (Netherlands) and that’s not a normal way of saying goodbye to a friend. Not even 2 women kiss like that when they say goodbye (women together are usually more huggy etc if u compare them to men together), let alone a man and woman. And no, in France it’s not like that either. Of course there are people who are more touchy-feely with friends, but generally this is not standard behaviour.. And they work together, I don’t find it particular professional to smooch away, but that’s my opinion xD
From what I’ve heard about Robin Baum, she is kinda odd.. She seems like the type to exploit people’s relationships to the press to get media-attention. Wouldn’t surprise me if this is her work too.
@BB – my French is VERY rusty and Google Translate is even worse.
Does that say that Johnny Depp attended Penelope Cruz’s Walk of Fame Ceremony with Robin Baum as his date and that Robin Baum is his PR person.
In a weird way that raises my opinion of him a little more – at least Robin Baum is a real woman with a real brain and probably 30.
However if this is true I think he did all those 20 somethings between Vanessa finally ending it and getting together with Robin.
@KardASSian : exactly 🙂
Just heard that too. His publicist Robin Baum. Shocking.
really.. maybe that is who leaked that split story to People. As many noted People does not do that kind of story on a huge celeb like Depp unless they had some serious inside info. Maybe this chick was trying to force Vanessa’s hand.
sad all the way around. I like Johnny. I would so hate to see him trolling around with some 20 something unnamed woman. That would put him on a whole new level of UGH.
I read that too. The suspect is his publicist. Will try to find the link.
She is his publicist and maybe his lover, but I refuse to believe she would have leaked anything to the press without Mr Depp consent, he doesn’t strike me as a person who would let anyone decide for him.
Sorry, by suspect I meant she’s the one he’s having an affair with and not Amber or Eva or someone else. I agreed with sukienow, hence the word suspect.
They were together a long time, and sometimes people just move in different directions after a while, but I don’t think he will find anyone better than Vanessa and their two children. It’s not easy to find a long lasting and wonderful connection with someone. I believe he will just drift from woman to woman for a while. I think Vanessa is a good role model and she’s got her own career in France. She will be okay. I’m sure she would rather split up than have her man running all over the place, not sure of what he wants.
I think you’re probably right. He’s turned into just another single saddo now. What was so appealing about him was his solid committed relationship with his family, which is a dying cause these days. Shame.
I remember reading that Vanessa was very pragmatic about this. She told him to go away and if he chose to come back when this episode was over he could but she would not expose their children to his behavior. I think this was when he was drinking and saying stupid things to the press.
She probably decided this was not going to end and said “enough”.
Team Vanessa!
Vanessa is definitely the winner in the end. While Johnny is simply the wiener..
This made me sad.
Depp always gave me the feeling that Vanessa was his salvation. After all his Kate Moss shenanigans and hotel-room thrashing, and partying with River Phoenix… Vanessa calmed him down, had both his feet firmly grounded in a good healthy reality.
This so obvious mid-life crisis is going to cost Johnny a whole lot more than just money.
This is exactly how I felt/feel about this relationship ending.
So sad, so unnecessary, and, worse, so cliche, so typical.
(looks at Johnny and shakes head)
It is kind of sad, and for me personally it takes something away from him. The fact that he was a good family man was kind of sexy, and now he’s just like every other aged actor..
This is probably one of the few celeb relationships that I genuinly feel sad about.
Paradis will bounce back though, she’s not the one with issues. Hell, she’s the good looking hygienic mature one of the two and while I totally believe that SHE fought until the bitter end (People article, Depp is a jerk), you can only fight when the other one wants to fight with you. Clearly he wants other things in life so she can pack and leave. It’s despicable.
I’m clearly a Paradis fangirl and by all accounts, she’s a great, smart, talented woman (her exes acknowledge that as do the people she worked with). She still has her work in film and music so she’ll be fine.
Depp however, he’s a mess. A greedy bastardy mess. I don’t think he got it on with somebody but I do believe he wants too and if the Lainey article is right, I predict chaos.
And Maguita, Paradis already stated in the past that she did not change his ways. They were both “wild” but her wild wasn’t nearly as destructive as his. Her wild was more her breaking free from the lolita mold in France and establishing an international career as an adult that she could control. Also the way she way she grew as a woman in a relationship is interesting.
Mister Depp, you made one BIG mistake.
Aaaah, Joe le Taxi…
But NM, Depp had often stated during the Pirates promotional tour that Vanessa was his savior!
He had publicly stated that Vanessa had created a wonderful family life for him, and that without her, he would have been at the most an empty lost shell of a man.
She may have said that both were lost, but Depp had admitted that without her, he was doomed.
NM6804 – Yes. I’m in a place in my marriage where hubs is trying to decide “if” he wants to fight for it.
I tend to believe there’s an “ebb and flow” of “in love” but that the ACTUAL love should carry a couple through.
However, I have been known to be wrong, on occasion. 😉
@bellaluna… You’re going through possible separation..?
I hope your hubby realizes what an awesome catch you are Lady, and works hard on earning your love back!
@Maguita: True but in hindsight maybe he wanted to be saved? Maybe he thought that putting the responsibility of being a mature person on your lover is easier than taking responsibility yourself?
Paradis for me is clearly more mature than he is so I tend to go by her words since she is very romantic but also realistic (no matter how crazy they both were for each other, that was undeniable) and seeing how he treated her lately, I think that Paradis was right not to take his responsibility over =). I think that bit of realism is the thing that is saving her now.
Her words:
“Johnny is] even more gorgeous than you think. On the inside, too. The outside is not something I want to forget about, but it is what is inside that matters. They say I tamed Johnny, but maybe he was ready to be tamed. I don’t like to think I made him do anything. We were both waiting for each other. It might sound dumb, but that’s how it was. We both had pasts, but when we met each other, we just knew. Yeah he’s a beautiful person that all the women are so in love with, but he’s a million times more than that in private.” (Source: The Mail, March 19, 2000)
“He isn’t] tamed [by me]. What’s that? Like a lion? Nooo, no, we did it to each other. Maybe I’m a good girlfriend because I’m his girlfriend. I’m not sure I’d be a good girlfriend to anyone else; the same for him. It’s difficult to explain, but It’s something that’s natural, obvious and beautiful.” (Source: Elle Magazine, October 13, 2008)
They were very extreme in the beginning and they had L-R very fast.
@Bellaluna:
Yes I read about that. I feel for you. It may not be much but you have a strong community here :).
I don’t know much about marriages since it doesn’t appeal to me but you are right, love should carry you through although it is not the only requirement to make it work. It’s very sad to hear that it’s an “if” and not a “when” to fight for the marriage :(. Have you tried counselling?
*internet hugs*
I had the same feeling about them. It’s really sad, especially for their children. It’s always hard for the kids, no matter how civilized the parents manage their separation…that’s probably why Vanessa Paradis tried so hard to fix it.
Internet hugs to the Original Bellaluna 🙂 I hope it all works out for you. I don’t really know what to say except that whatever is going on with hubby isn’t a reflection you. I’ve had to remind myself before that just b/c my hubby says something/feels something about me, it doesn’t make it my reality!
@Bellaluna- I was once watching this show where they were interviewing elderly couples who had been married a long time. They asked the one couple how they had managed to stay together for 60 years. They answered that it was due to the fact that they had never fallen out of love at the same time. Sad but love does tend to wax and wane over a long period of time. Sometimes you just have to stick out the tough parts to get back to the good.
You know…we don’t know what ANY of these people are truly like in private. She might be a nightmare, he might be one – sometimes one party in a relationship is the “saint”, one the devil, but quite often they’re both flawed.
Maguita, et al – We still reside under the same roof, and there’s been no cheating by either party (to my knowledge) but hubs thinks putting in an appearance and bringing home the bacon is enough, on his part.
Well, it’s not. Not for me. I’m more than willing to go to counseling, but he’s still “undecided.” (Or so he says.) Things have been better as of late, so we’ll see.
At this point, if there is a separation, I will focus on being grateful for the son we have, and the significantly reduced housework-load. 😀
Thank you for the support, Ladies. We have quite a good group on here, don’t we?
@bellaluna, hope everything works out to YOUR happiness.
No wisdom to impart with: With experience, you understand that everyone’s relationship is very different from your own.
The only thing I can say, is DO NOT listen to anyone telling you what YOU should do; You do what feels right, for you. Because at the end of the day, everyone is rightfully selfish, and no one else will be thinking of doing what is right for you.
Internet encouraging hugs.
And yes, we do have an incredible gang here.
Cheers to all of you amazing Ladies!
This is so sad, I agree that Vanessa probably put up with a hell of a lot of crap from him and will be in a better place and I think he will really regret it in the future when he realises that he won’t be able to have someone that great back.
@kara, so true. We often say the most hurtful things to the ones that love us the most (because we know they aren’t going anywhere). He’s probably saying those things to you because he’s stressed out and he knows he can. My husband pulls similar crap. There are times I let him take it out on me and there are times I put him in his place.
@bells, you know how to get a hold of me if you need me.
I have to agree with everyone above and Mort too. OB-I’m sorry to hear of your struggles. I’ve sensed something as I’ve read your posts recently. Us B*itches will always support, even if it’s through the internet.
Paradis will be fine. As to whether she fought to the bitter end, perhaps one day we’ll know. I’d like to think she has been piecing her heart back together and is stronger for it. She’s the whole package. I even like her gap in her teeth. She’s a strong woman who has talent, intelligence and good sense. I’m sure she is helping her children through things as best she can. I’d like to think Depp is too but I’ve been beyond irritated with him for quite awhile. I don’t take his acting seriously anymore because he always doing a caricature of some kind. Depp has lost his depth and Vanessa was a huge part of growth and maturity, at the time. It’s his loss. I don’t feel sorry for him.
I hope Vanessa is generously compensated as she provided him with a very happy life and two beautiful children.
He is stupid fool.
@bellaluna, sorry to hear of your troubles. I hope it turns out for the best for everyone involved. My partner and I split for a time after the birth of our child, but we somehow ended up back together. Granted, it wasn’t easy AT ALL, but I realized for all the grief they get, men are complicated creatures! The fact that you are under the same roof is a good sign. Good luck!
Ohh. I’m genuinely miffed about this, normally I don’t care about celebrity relationships.
I feel bad for saying I could see Johnny Depp and Eva Green together, though …
So sad for the kids….
Clooney and Dicaprio must be worried, young and dumb models want a piece of Jack Sparrow..
Lenny Kravitz must be happy, I think he said that Vanessa is the only woman he loves (except his daughter).
Lenny Kravitz dated Vanessa? What is this 6 degrees of Hollywood couples. Sad to see the break up.
They were hot together ! He said in 2009 that he always regretted the end of their relationship and that he wanted to see her to talk about it.
Yes, he wrote & produced an album for her, which is a little bit cheesy, but OK if you like that kind of thing (and I do). They looked glorious together.
Wow! I hope she gets back together with Lenny and Johnny realizes what he’s missing out on.
I do think Vanessa will come out better if it’s true he’s been cheating.
And I would love to see her back with Lenny! I can’t picture JD with some VS model or former wrestler, but mid-life crises can do strange things to men’s psyches
Depp is not winning here. Vanessa was good for him.
+1
Hi Maguita: I agree with you. Also, poor kids – this will probably be very hard on them.
Hey ladybert!
I believe, based on past stories, even if Johnny truly loves his kids, they have grown in the past 10 years without having him often around. So their parents’ separation would just be the official legal confirmation of their father’s already part-time visitation rights.
Still saddens me this whole thing. And as @marie had stated up-thread, this takes away from his appeal, which had a lot to do with being a loving partner and father.
Sadness…
Sad for their kids, being with Vanessa definitely give him stability, I expect single Johnny to be drunk and very horny, his reformed man image is gonna be tarnished.
Wino forever!
Make us a bunch of money darlin’ so we can retire early, OH you are famous and making a lot of money and attractive to women again.. nawh.. now forget it and come home we ignore the bills.. yep, she blew it..
Well they both denied and acted like everything was perfect when the rumors started. Well clearly those rumors were true about them having problems and living separate. I hate when couples act like everything is perfect.
Yeah, what was the point of announcing this a month or so after the tabs already knew.
They knew to keep quiet while the settlement was being drawn up. There’s a whole lotta money at stake here, not to mention the kids.
Lawyers. The denials and silence are the prompting of the lawyers (with the help of PR. 100%).
Not bashing lawyers (we’re all lawyers in the family, tough family dinners)!
Just saying, if it seems unnatural and weird, the legal motivation is there… lurking..
Oh come off it! They could have been having a trial separation or in couples counselling or (very likely)taking time to acclimatise their two kids.
Anyone who has ever ended a marriage (and I count this as a common-law marriage) knows it takes time just to sought out the emotional entanglements let alone deal with the finances. I like that they took their time and didnt just go Kardashian-style.
Typical. They love being Mr. Dad for a while, all about the family. After six to ten years, now bored with that storyline and seeking excitement with one of their hot, young gorgeous costars.
I always thought of them as the open realtionship type. Very common with the French from what I hear. I could be very wrong but that is the vibe I always got.
Does it mean Hollywood is full of french people ? because I heard it was very common over there.
It is very common in Hollywood as well. I guess I was misinformed about the French then, apologies if i offended anyone.
Sara, you didn’t imagine it. I’ve read several articles recently pointing at France’s new president that highlighted that same trend.
What the f–k? Are you serious?
can you imagine the number of women that will be throwing themselves at this guy. there were probably tons before, but now with him being unattached….my god! p*ssy galore.
brad pitt better watch out…angelina’s antenna just went up.
OH please..
I guess it didn’t take long. Sorry but not everyone is vag crazy for Depp.
jolie was not quiet about having a thing for depp back in the day.
Oh please; I hope you’re not referring to taloid gossip about what Angelina allegedly told “our close sources”….
I don’t recall her ever mentioning anything about Depp prior to the Tourist…and if she did, she probably said she thought his crazy schtick and whacko characters was cool.
Plus watch Jolie presenting at the Oscars 2004…there’s a switch of view to Depp and he’s so totally into her.
I also had a thing for Depp back in the day. Now I wouldn’t touch him with a bargepole, even if I weren’t in a very happy monogamous relationship, which I am. Not only does he always look like he slept in a dumpster, but he’s a weird, self-involved jerk who does things like claim a photoshoot is like being raped.
Are you kidding? I sure hope so because I couldn’t picture that in a million years. Also she(Angelina) would never put up with his shit for longer then 5 minutes. I don’t think many women could.
More like Heard, Green or some other 20 something chick (the new Clooney–one a year) and his publicist will take up his time. Not everyone wants a piece of his brand of crazy.
to jackie O : i saw your comment on angelina on many site …pathetic !
i am not on any other site. i can barely keep up with this one.
You’re a moron! Angelina is not known for sleeping around, she has been in a monogamous relationship for 7 years, has 6 children to her life partner and Fiance, and is engaged. Why would Angelina do that, its totally out of character. Besides, Brad is still hot, Depp looks like a chunky greasy haggard hobo. I don’t think any normal civilian woman would be interested in Depp these days let alone Angelina. Use your brain.
That makes me sad, i remember seeing so many interviews of them both, raving about each others, hoping i could find someone that mean that much to me too, there was so much love..but if they’re no longer happy, it’s the best they can do. With the type of lives they’re both having, 14 years is already great. But still, it feels weird.
I reckon they’re something definitely off with Depp. He changed.
Sad. She seemed to have a good and possible essential influence on him.
I got the feeling something was up when he talked (complained) about money in that interview. He didn’t seem the type to be so fixated on money and the state of his finances. Made me wonder why he was. Usually when a celeb is fixated on money, it’s because of a separation.
I remember that, Sisi. Didn’t he complain about the French taxing him? Very good pick-up.
I’ve always thought he was creepy.
An open relationship is not common in France, believe me I’m french. And here ,in France Vanessa is a big big star with or without Johnny. But it’s sad they were great together and I don’t think that one of them is winning at all
+1 BIG false stereotype like women not shaving their legs or the popularity of Jerry Lee Lewis
Don’t you mean Jerry Lewis Normades ? Jerry Lee Lewis is a musician.
oops, that’s what I meant!
DAMN, why can’t it be Brangelina instead..UGH.
Wow, so you want 6 kids to deal with their parents breaking up? It is too bad any couples separate especially with kids.
However unlike Johnny & Vanessa, Brad & Angelina actually spend time together & make time for one another. They do not film movies at the same time causing their family to be separated for weeks/months.
They make sure their family stays together, something Johnny & Vanessa did not do considering they spend most of their time on separate continents.
Depp strikes me as an immature nearly 50 years old wanna be rocker caught in a middle age crisis.
I bet, he will date those twenty something for a while, goes to bars like he used to do pre Vanessa, then stay with one of them, maybe even start a new family at some point.
As for the OP, it’s a stupid statement since Jolie has never dump a man for another one, let alone for a man child like Depp.
Please DO NOT put Pitt/Jolie on a pedastal of parenting genius…they don’t deserve it.
@ Chatcat
How is stating facts putting Brad/Angelina on a parental genius pedastal? All that was stated was how Brad and Angelina try to make sure they spend time together and the family isn’t separated for long periods of time..
@Chatcat: How do you know? You don’t know any more or any less of their parenting abilities than anyone else on here.
@toot and @janet…of course none of us parents are perfect, there certainly isn’t any set formula, but if both of you are parents then you’d know what I mean.
If you ask, or better yet spend time with any kid 5 to 18, you’d know they like stability of someplace called home. I mean a true “home base” you know a neighborhood, school, friends, member of a sport team for a season…something consistent, with at least one parent being an anchor. The Pitt/Jolie duo are constantly on the road, in hotels, rented penthouses or houses in different cities and different countries. It may sound all glamorous to some adults and people will defend “but these kids are seeing the world”. Kids really want us adults to be simple and keep it simple. Vacations are nice, living like vagabonds is not…and especially the fish bowl that is celeb life. This gang ain’t living any type of simple lifestyle. So no, these two wouldn’t be what I consider the best of parents for these six kids. Time will tell of course.
@ Chatcat
You are so funny have you meet every single child between the ages of to 18 to speak for them?
And you seem to be the only one putting yourself on a petast someone thinks to much of herself.
Sorry my first comment got cut off.
@ Chatcat
You are so funny have you meet every single child between the ages of 5 to 18 to speak for them? And if thier Isen’t a set formula how can you say your way is right.
( something consistent ) that whould be for there kids to see mommy and daddy every day and to not have to go more then 3 days with out ether of them and there home base would be there LA and French homes. Talk to michael douglas oldest son on how “home base” work out for him. Both he and Michael have talk about having his father being away for work being a playing a part to his troubles life and now Micheal douglas travels with his family his kids come to we’re ever he and catherine are filming. Or Mark wahlberg on how his kids cry because they miss him when he away filming and wish he had another job.
You seem to be the only one putting yourself on a pedastal someone thinks to much of herself and her parenting skills.
CHatcat, that’s awfully close minded of you.
We have been touring as a family for almost three years. We will hit our 15 th city next. We stay in wonderful places in amazing cities.
My children are thriving. No peer pressure, no cliques, underage drinking, sex, just seeing the world, it’s culture. Learning multiple languages.
They still go to piano lessons, Kung fu lessons. My son misses baseball a bit, but he understands the trade off. My daughter never wants to go home. The places we live in are homey and nice, I’m sure the JP’s have even more comfy and familiar digs than we do.
They always have a parent with them, have built in family with our tour mates. They started at 9 and 11, and many of these kids on tour are babies on up. They THRIVE. We are great parents, I know it. Don’t judge what you don’t know. I could move home, have us be out of a job and get foreclosed on. The financial stress between parents was harder on my kids than seeing the world. As we kayaked around Boston today, we laughed about how we got hailed on in Amsterdam doing the same. We are tighter than ever. It has been great, and my kids love us, we still hug.
Don’t judge. It’s not like they are hobos.
So you would be happy if it was brangelina just crazy. Keep on wishing though lol
At least Pitt doesnt film 2 or 3 movies a year away from his kids for weeks at a time.Maybe he will spend more time with his kids with joint custody.Lily is a teenager she needs her dad attn JMO BTW JD never denied breakup rumors The Sun tabloid made that claim.He never denied to a reputable media outlet
All I can say to your comment is grow the hell up.
Really what are you like 15 because I can’t see a grown ass women saying somthing this stupid and imachore.
imachore? What are you? ten?
You’re pathetic Terri. I feel sorry for you.
with all the rumours and people magazine also running the story a couple of weeks ago its not a big surprise. still sad though.
at least i have the feeling it wont be one of the “i faked all my orgasms” break ups with lots of public fighting.
oh and im also wondering who will be seen with him next. certainly there will be lots of rumours and 90% of them will be false but he will have a steady girlfriend in the near future.
Why, oh why, OH WHY can’t it be Tom Cruise have a mid-life crisis in H-Wood? (Anybody else notice that Suri’s name has two vowels and two consonants from his last name? No? Just me, then.)
I really liked these two together, and I also got the feeling that Paradis was his “salvation” of a sort.
Bahahaha oh gahd yes! A Tom Cruise mid-life crisis would be EPIC! We’d have gossip to talk about for months, if not years with that… 😀
Jumping on Oprah’s couch, the crazy Matt Lauer interview, dissing Brooke Shields, the batcrazy CoS stuff, nearly losing his career, huge public backlash, only his MI franchise being consistently popular and $$$ earning…I’d say Cruise has been in the middle of his mid-life crisis for the past few years now. The only two things that would be earth-shattering for him now would be either that the marriage ends or he renounces CoS.
or he comes out of the closet 😉
I simply don’t care because I never expect any celeb couple to last anyway. What I do think is that it’s ironic that any actor/acress would DIE FOR a long term contract for work but can’t abide by a long term contract with a spouse. (Shrug shoulder).
He has been a bit off for awhile now. His interviews last year were creepy, talking about photo shoots being like rape and being all about the “stupid” money and drinking way too much and falling down, maybe drunk, outside a bar. His mid-life crisis is in full force.
But denying it like last week or not long ago and then this coming out looks a bit suspicious. Maybe it is his publicist since this type of stuff comes from them. Hope not though.
now maybe my mom can divorce my stepdad and get johnny depp:)
Hi shorty! That was funny and make me laugh out loud! Good luck with that!!!
This makes me ill.
He just freakin’ denied the rumors of their relationship being over. If it was true he should have kept his trap shut. Everyone figured since he didn’t deny the issues that something was definitely up. I can’t stand when they lie. I know people say they want to protect their family, but being truthful is usually the best course of action whether it hurts or not.
I think there is something to Lainey’s theory about this.
Hopefully Vanessa Paradis will move on and the children will be ok.
Well to be fair. Vanessa denied the break up too. More recent then Johnny. I agree with others they were working things out. either trying to make it work or a settlement.
I know. You’re right!
For some reason I didn’t totally believe Vanessa’s denials because Johnny and his PR didn’t say anything to support her. So when he denied that they were split up, I believed him.
I understand now they were probably working on a settlement etc.
I guess I should be angry with myself for believing anyone’s statements. Next time I will be more skeptical.
Yep but to be fair too Johnny was definitely behind the People Mag cover, so it was kind of rich when he said everything was fine and put the blame on the tabloids. Talk about hypocrisy.
Wonder if if you’re as crazy as he was, it never really leaves you.
I agree with one of Lainey’s early thoughts too – it happened months ago, and they’ve been thrashing out financial/privacy details for this long to keep images & dignity intact.
As as for a single Depp in Hollywood – I think it’s going to be a total car crash – I can’t wait! (evil cackle).
If there’s a car crash in H-Wood, you KNOW Blohan’s involved. Johnny, don’t make things any worse. Step A-W-A-Y from the skank!
Legally is she entitled to anything since not married?
No surprise, the writing has been on the wall for a while. It’s sad, especially for their kids.
Personally, I think it’s a terrible idea for Johnny to live in Hollywood. He’s talked about his past stuggles with substance abuse, and I think he’s heading down that road again. I’m sure he’s going to regret swapping his family for sycophants who’ll cater to his addictive personality.
Say what you want to say about Lainey, but sometimes she is right on the ball. She said several months ago that something was wrong and that she thought they were living apart. She also had a pretty interesting analysis. For People magazine to run with a cover story about Johnny Depp having trouble with Vanessa (they ran that story about three months ago), it would have had to gone past his publicist since People runs EVERYTHING past a big star’s PR person or management. Johnny is such a big name, and his publicist is a pitbull, that it’s possible that no one either checked with Vanessa (Vanessa may not even have a publicist). Lainey said way back then it was a weird move and then mentioned that it may have been his publicist Robin Baum trying to drive a wedge between Johnny and Vanessa…Apparently, a lot of people are side-eying his publicist and Lainey again stated the same thing about Robin today.
I don’t buy the Amber Heard/Johnny Depp. When Amber first came out, she called herself a lesbian. Then she changed her tune and said she doesn’t believe in labels, etc. A lot of people think that was her publicist’s doing, that Amber as bi is easier to market than Amber as a lesbian. Lainey still refers to Amber as a lesbian, and so does a few other bloggers and journalists. Eva Green is definitely more Johnny’s type, I could have seen them hooking up.
Couldn’t agree with you more, A. That’s why I love reading Lainey – her analysis is so spot-on and intelligent, it truly shows that gossip can be intelligent.
I also agree about Amber Heard being “marketed” now as bi – her people realized it would be very polarizing for her career to be an out in the open lesbian.
So true. Funny how there are so many Lainey haters here…yet everyone seems to read her!
the best example that Depp and Paradis had trouble is that we didn’t more see together officially(red carpet or premiere) since more 2 years and he didn’t want to come back in France
So true, they couldn’t even pretend to support each other. They must have been really broken.
How is this a big scoop for Lainey if the couple haven’t been together at an official function for more than two years?
it was not a Lainey scoop,it was just her point of view( People Magazine=RP machine) when PEOPLE Magazine writes something,it’s with the agreement of the publicists
my point of view is that they didn’t more go together at red carpet or premiere (in clear an official event)since more 2 years,they had troubles.
Image that Angelina Jolie isn’t with Pitt at his next Premiere,you will see the rumor break-up to do a comeback
Actually, normades, while I don’t always agree with Lainey, she has some good insight at times. I also think she’d make one helluva publicist. She seems like she would be very well-suited to the job.
Lainey doesn’t know anything. She said in her other post that she couldn’t get any information on “rumors” about Depp and Robin. Now she say that people have been telling her for months about the possibility of it. She also was surprised when People magazine came out. This after she kept posting that the tabloids were wrong there was trouble going on with them.
Lainey is more upset that she didn’t have the first scoop on them and is now making up anything to act like she has some insider close to Johnny Depp.
Oh please. Lainey posted months ago about Robin Baum, even before that French magazine had photos of Robin and Johnny looking very close with her arm around his shoulder and him kissing her. I’ve got better things to do then to search through her archives, but she definitely mentioned Robin when the rumors first started ages ago. Lainey has some connections.
I don’t know if she had inside info or not but I find your new article very interesting
http://laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/23874/Johnny-Depp-Vanessa-Paradis-break-up-more-details
Sad especially when kids are involved .
ditto
Just my two cents, but I always had the feeling she was more into him than he was into her, remember how he allegdly wanted to go back to Kate Moss until Vanessa announced her pregnancy. I think he felt obliged to stay with her because of their kids but also because it was good for his image.
Yeah when I heard that it made me wonder if he only got with her because she got pregnant so soon. But they have been together for so long, it’s very sad.
I remember this! Vanessa was supposed to be the rebound.
Agree. Sorry but what relationship works out where you meet a guy and get knocke up 2 months into it? I’ve truthfully never liked her. I’ll always love him. I feel sad for the kids.
Yep. I’m sure I’ll hear some criticism on this, but let’s face it – he DIDN’T want to marry her. He was engaged before, too. After so many years and two kids, why NOT get married? (Answer – because one party, usually, doesn’t want to do so.)
@ Gabrielle – They lasted 14 years together! That’s a pretty good run, especially by Hollywood standards.
And jc126, I’m pretty sure Vanessa was the one who didn’t feel the need to get married.
How do you know that?
@ jc – the last part of the quoted article at the top has Vanessa stating it
Just because she says it, doesn’t make it true. Like when Depp and Paradis both said their relationship was fine just a few weeks ago.
Totally agree her surprise! pregnancy is what kept them together. Who knows if they would have lasted long at all if not for that.
I also think him never marrying her is significant, and not just ‘bohemian’ lifestyle excuse. He was engaged to Winona, why wouldn’t he get engaged again if he really wanted to be with her permanently. Also, as much as he may pretend otherwise, Johnny is American, and American men are marrying types by and large. Plus he’s from Kentucky, a more traditionally oriented family place. All of this background puts his non-marriage with VP into perspective. Also, if he does care a lot about money, as he has indicated lately, all the more reason NOT to marry her to protect his assets better. I say this relationship had an expiration date on it from the beginning.
I might be alone here but I want Johnny back with Winona!!!!!!!! Winona forever.
Wouldn’t it work both ways, why should Vanessa not take her share of responisblity in the relationship and be the victim to Johnny’s “middle age crisis”. It takes two to make a thing go right. Well here’s for the best for their kids that’s all that matters.
On another matter, are there any more nymphs for Johnny to date around here?
I’m not sure that I am understanding exactly what you meant but I am responding to what I think you meant 🙂
Here goes: Vanessa isn’t a victim of Johnny’s midlife crisis. She’s more like collateral damage. The victim here is him. He’s allowing fear of aging/dying or whatever to drive him back to his youthful behavior of drugs, drink, and, predictably, other women. He is in the process of losing his family b/c of this behavior. Sadly, he looks like an aging fool and sooner or later he’ll see that in the mirror. Vanessa on the other hand can say she tried to ride out the storm for herself and their children. Vanessa will be fine. Now who looks like the fool? Who looks like a victim?
How sad for their kids. Will she be entitled to some of his earnings since they never married? I can’t help but think after so many years a common-law marriage would be in effect…
Didn’t their troubles start around the time when he filmed The Tourist with Jolie? Lol, I kid, I kid.
Haha! Nice 😉
LOL you may be kidding but the haters aren’t. They’re all over the net blaming Angie for the breakup.
🙄
SOOOOOOO ridiculous.
Kept on hoping the rumours weren’t true … Sadly, he has lost a lot of his appeal. He used to be so hot. Now, for all his trying to be extraordinary, he has just become so very ordinary.
Once Johnny gets over his midlife crisis, decides to clean himself up from the drugs and alcohol (because you know this wouldn’t have happened if he was sober), they will reconcile. Personally, I think Johnny started f**ing up with the booze and drugs again and Vanessa didn’t want that sh!t around the kids so she told Johnny to leave them alone until he could get his act together. I am betting she hoped it would only be a few months but then he kept going so she broke it off. I bet they would reconcile if he got it together again. I hope so anyways, I always thought they were a wonderful couple. But I also think moving back to LA was a huge mistake. I noticed Johnny starting to pick up some of his old bad habits the moment that happened.
Agreed. There is no way that he’s sober right now and he’s throwing away all that’s good in his life with both hands.
+1
I agree with this!
There’s nothing more unattractive than a man suffering a mid-life crisis; acting like a douche, chasing young girls, dressing 20 years too young, partying all the time, hanging out with other man-boys, acting like his old life/wife/girlfriend/kids are why he’s gotten older. It’s sad.
Predictably, some trolls on other sites are already saying Angie got her hooks into him on the set of “The Tourist” and she’s to blame for the whole thing.
So he seperates from Vanessa two years after he works with Jolie and she is to blame.Wow she is powerful.I guess if Liev breaks up w Naomi 3 years after Salt blame AJ
It’s sad, yes, but what’s also sad is that so many people are automatically blaming Johnny for this. It’s as though Vanessa has suddenly been elevated to sainthood. I know Johnny has his faults (as we ALL do) but it’s completely unfair to pile all the blame on him, when no one truly knows the reasons for this separation except the people directly involved.
As for the Robin Baum theory – no. If that was the case, it would have happened years ago.
And I don’t expect Johnny to start dating very young women – it’s not his style. Give the man some leeway here – and remember that the bottom line is that it’s none of our business anyway.
none of our business?? you really are on the wrong website.
we love making stuff our business!
Jackie, I mean the REASONS behind the breakup are nobody else’s business – the fact that they’ve made a public announcement puts their separation firmly in the public domain, though, I agree.
I guess I just think Johnny shouldn’t be shouldering all the blame for it – no-one really knows why this happened, and yet a lot of people are saying Johnny ‘couldn’t keep it in his pants’ etc. Where’s the proof that he’s been unfaithful? I don’t believe it. And wasn’t Vanessa recently the subject of speculation because she was seen in a Paris restaurant with another man? Turns out she’s making an album with him, but who knows…maybe there’s more to it.
Whatever, I feel sorry for the children. It’s always the kids who suffer in situations like this – mine did, when their father left (for a much younger woman.) They often blame themselves, thinking it must have been something they did/didn’t do/should have done. Sad – really sad.
So true! Best comment evaaar Jackie O!
Uh Liz, you do know that you are trolling a celebrity gossip site right? Whew……
Making a comment is ‘trolling’? Just because you don’t agree with what someone says? Grow up!
Dahling, CeleBITCHY is the place par excellence for judgmental people to stick their noses where they don’t belong.
We are just not about pedophiles, pot and Jesus. We are also about passing extreme judgment on a-holes submitting to the tackiest of self-wallowing “illnesses”: mid-life crisis.
Sweetie, why not go the whole hog and stick all your judgemental noses into paedophiles, pot and Jesus too? Could make for some interesting discussions..
Grasshopper, we HAVE been discussing pedophiles and Jesus all day long, where have you been?
Take the time to read this site before trolling on this particular thread, and making ignorant assumptions.
Who’s ignorant here, dear? If you read what you yourself wrote, you’ll see why I responded as I did –
‘ We are just not about pedophiles, pot and Jesus.’
Perhaps you ought to check your comments before you post them..!
OMG Maguita…I am laughing my ass off! Thank you for your awesome summation of what we do here at CB!
Oh and Liz, yes we are all trolls here…well some are vouyer trolls and then there are us full out, bare our soul and wait for the bitch slap trolls (me). WELCOME!
Ah yes, grasshopper, you are half-right about this one. My syntactical mistake.
See, if you HAVE truly read the threads today, or have read ANY of the threads in the past 10 days, instead of acting like a whiny troll, you would have perfectly understood that I meant “not just pedos, pot and Jesus”, and of course, because of the following sentence, “We are ALSO about passing extreme judgment…” would have cleared any misunderstanding.
Here’s a not-at-all big secret for you:
You have absolutely the right to post your opinion, but the moment you post your opinion, you automatically gain the right to have your opinion opposed.
So instead of going off with hormonal-pubescent rants on people attacking your Johnny, you can simply state that YOU don’t feel comfortable putting all the blame on him, and it is none of YOUR business if what broke up this couple is another younger woman.
Cheer up grasshopper, understand that accusing others of gossip on a GOSSIP site is just bad sportsmanship, and your trolling days may well and truly be far behind.
I don’t get the Johnny Depp worship. He’s never been particularly faithful to his girlfriends in the past. It’s a giant surprise to me that this one has lasted 14 years, and I think that’s due to VP putting up with a lot of Depp B.S. I predict a big ‘ole drunken/drugger binge by Depp coming on in 3..2..
LOL – me neither! I don’t get why everyone thinks he’s so deep. Is it some silly psychological association with the name DEPP? Is it because he wears tattered clothing and fedoras with feathers? Is it because he reads dark scripts (written by dark writers and directed by dark directors) in creepy costumes designed by fabulous costume designers? What is it?
I REMEMBER when this misassociation happened… It happened when Edward Scissorhands came up. He was not perceived as dark & deep before he met Tim Burton.
Does no one remmber 21 JUMP STREET??
21 JUMP STREET GUYS!
What a moron this man is!! I think she’ll get along just fine with her kids and she’ll fine some stud to love her like she deserves. Meanwhile this moron will date a bunch of 20 year olds and go back to partying like he was in the 90’s. I don’t know what the hell he’s thinking because his star is already on the wane and he’s been losing his looks for a while now. We’ll see where he’s at in a decade when he regrets giving up his family for parties and his kids hate him.
I know I’m not adding anything new to what has already been said but my heart skipped a beat this morning when I read it on the internet this morning.I really hoped that the constant rumors of their separation were not true.This is my favorite Hollywood couple and I totally believed that they would make it through almost anything.14 years is a long time in Hollywood though and I know that family means everything to both of them and I hope things stay amicable between them not only for the kids sake but for theirs as well.
Lilly Rose has been hanging out in LA and she looks like a wild one. She’ll be bumping into her dad at clubs soon.
But seriously, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. This was a long time coming and the pr couldn’t cover it up. Most blinds are bs, but some are based in truth.
Johnny wil be a hot mess for a while, Vaness will rebound nicely. I’m thinking sightly younger, but still respectable.
now Depp can marry Tim Burton!
And pick Keith Richards as his best man
And stop collaborating on movies too! 😀
Wondering if Helena Bonham-Carter has been Depp’s “other woman” all these years…
Tim Burton and Keith Richards were “the other woman” during Paradis/Depp time LOL
Naw, she’s Tim’s. If anything, they shared her. /snark
Normally I would scoff but
1. anyone who can sleep with Tim Burton has a very strong stomach and
2. she is listed as an actress on the IMDB for the Lone Ranger even though her character has no name:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210819/
Nah, he’s the one he should have broken up with so he could top wearing all that kabuki make-up and go back to being creative.
I was hoping for a divorce! I loved Tim Burton once.
***NOT THAT WAY THE MAN IS HIDEOUS!***
Sorry, I would not want anyone to think my taste is that bad… it’s bad but not that bad.
I saw part of Dark Shadows on 1channel and well…. Tim needs to go to Johnny Depp rehab. This needs to STOP!
I look at all these actors hitting 50, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, George Clooney a few years past now, and I don’t find any of them hot even though they are well-preserved and attractive. Well, Robert Downey, Jr., is close to 50, and I still find him fine. But I did see a singer last year who turned 50, who I thought was so hot in ’96 when I saw him in concert, and was shocked at how he was much older looking now but I found him still sexy. Maybe it’s his British accent, his American sounding beautiful singing voice, that he speaks Spanish and French, or the fact that he is terribly reclusive and rarely tours, which is kind of sexy but sad because his vocals are powerful and he is a great songwriter. I always loved his arrogance but dry British humor.

I’ve been a Johnny girl forever, like from barely pubescence, followed his career all these years and liked seeing him settled down. So crap, now am going to have to leave my husband lol!
I do feel for Vanessa if it was one sided, he def. seems to be having a midlife whatever and if he is doing it with young dumb actresses who can’t even act that is all the more depressing, at least his taste in women was always good up ’til now. He always seemed to good to end up a Hollywood cliche, but if he’s dating women half his age well it’s hard not lose serious respect in my book. He’s totally going to be Jack Nicholson now. Eew.
Well here comes the hat askew, grubby, mismatched clothing, falling down drunk Johnny, trailed by the inevitable string of hobags, and a lot of chatter about his dumbass shenanigans. Hope this phase doesn’t last too long.
It won’t. This guy loves falling in love. They’ve been apart for a year or less. You will see him fall madly in love with someone new this year, get engaged quickly like he always does, and then live with her but not marry.
Well, maybe he already met his new love, that is why the announcement of their separation was made. Just speculating!
Yep the uber secretive mr Depp is gonna become a tabloid fixture pretty soon.
Lenny Kravitz said she was “the perfect woman” and regrets his breakup with her.
She looks really happy (and beautiful) in the pix from her awards at Cabourg Film Festival the other day. Robin Baum and JD? Pleeze, have you seen her?
More like Vanessa doesn’t want to play the Hollywood Game, and now, JD all of a sudden is into Hollywood and all the money, famous musicians, etc., it will bring him. There’s a lot more to this story then we’ll ever know. Baum is spinning this to win Johnny votes.
If Johnny really likes his women waif-like as everyone seems to think, Robin is the exact opposite of waif-like.
I think he has a thing for waif like girls, but first and foremost he likes them young, Paradis is 9 years younger than Johnny, Moss 11 and Winona 8, and it’s even worst with his rumour flings : Eva, Amber , that Trollson twin are all around 20 years his junior.
I bet he’s already got a new girl. That’s why he’s making it official. Him and the new girl will take some time before going public just like Brad and Angelina did. Then they’ll be a brand new power couple. Ewww..she’s probably some 20 something. Talk about midlife crises. He hasn’t been cool and sexy to me in 10 years. He lost integrity.
Prim! I like your name lol
TAKE OFF that flaming red lipstick Vanessa! I bet johnny doesn’t like it either. I never could picture him with someone who wears a lot of make-up.
Never gotten Depp’s appeal, honestly. He is neither talented nor good looking. Just mediocre. Shows you how earning ridiculous sums of money for terribly dumb movies can make you go crazy, lazy and out of touch with reality.
His publicist/friend seems to know the schedules of most tabloids. Most have put their covers to bed by now and most are probably scrambling to get something up on this for tomorrow’s cover reveals. Maybe a couple of sidebars with covers next week or maybe one or more of them dumped their covers and started again. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
I have always gotten th feeling he hooked up with Amber, and I don’t blame him
– she is so freaking hot
Either way I think he’s going to start jammin more music- like these impromptu performances in LA

Sad for them and their kids. For a while there they seemed to have a great life, living out of the spotlight like they did. Hope they stay amicable for the kids’ sake.
I wonder how many calls Winona got today 🙂
I think I saw this comment here quite a while ago but it sums up my feelings to perfection:
“Johnny Depp is ruining Johnny Depp for me”.
Agree!
Oh FFS, it wasn’t Johnny that Ashley Olsen hooked up with. It was Jared Leto. LETO. Or as I like to call him: Jordan catalano.
He was wearing typical Johnny Depp clothes and a big old hat and sunglasses and some paparazzi thought it was Depp but it wasn’t!
Why would Mr. 21 Jump Street or Jordan Catelano go there? Ewwww! Eva Green is fugly enough but an Olson!
We all know what happened to Heath Ledger after he went near an Olson.
Winona and Johnny should get back together!!! imagine that!!!
Just want to mention Robin Baum is PR-maestro. She was also behind the Daniel Craig/Rachel Weisz peekaboo. Craig/Weisz started their affair in February and came out in December.
Vanessa has actually been the one cheating on Johnny for some time now. But everyone will continue to blame Johnny Depp.
Based on what info. please do share. We’d love to know. 🙂

So sad for the kids….
Clooney and Dicaprio must be worried, young and dumb models want a piece of Jack Sparrow..
Lenny Kravitz must be happy, I think he said that Vanessa is the only woman he loves (except his daughter).

Wow! I hope she gets back together with Lenny and Johnny realizes what he’s missing out on.
Yes yes! Lenny it’s your time go get your beautiful french girl back here’s the whole thing,
“I was madly in love with Vanessa Paradis, I was madly in love with her. But I had so much trouble managing some demons… my relationship with my father. Vanessa was the perfect woman but she arrived at the wrong time . I regret it. And I hope she reads these lines. It is through me that she met Johnny Depp. Since then I’ve never seen her again She did not come to my concerts, we no longer had any contact… I can only wish him to be happy. But I know one day we will fall upon one another. And it will be time to talk about this… I’m not worried.”

I do not like him but I LOVED Them as a couple (Depp & Paradis), idk why but I just do… Goodbye Mr. Depp.
Johnny you just lost all the respect from me now you are of the dicaprio clooney league, you don’t know what you are losing, Vanessa is the only woman that had patience to support his mid life crisis, I hope she gets a hot french guy that loves her like she deserves, like johnny on US she is one of the most desired and beautiful woman in france not to mention she is loved by everybody there women and men and now she is back to the market men will be willing to get her when she plays in concerts the musisians are all drooly looking at her, there are recent pics of her in cabourg film festival (google it) and she looks really happy maybe she already has a new man.. recent pics of her looking gorgeous and relaxed

I wouldn’t want a man who had to be “tied to the mast” to keep him faithful. This is a reference to an early post from someone who thinks they are more “well-read” than they actually are. Fairy-tales exist in books. Not in life where the grown-ups live. Personally, Im glad he sent raggedy-ann back to the toy-box. Have a great time Johnny! I hope all you haters don’t get too upset when he doesn’t self-destruct and wins an Oscar some day!
So sad for the kids
The Robin L Baum my slimy googling located turned 48 last month. Does anyone have a photo of this woman?
She is a partner with Huvane at Slate PR and she dumped Taylor Lautner as a client because she was scared of his dad.
I am too now since it caused her to dump him as a client. What’s up with Taylor’s dad?
They are a very nice looking couple, but probably the move from France to LA-land was hard on everyone and he’s constantly gone, making movie after movie (which we’re all appreciative of, but it has to be hard on any relationship).
I wish them all the best and that the media, etc leave them and their children alone.
They made such
stunning/magic couple
: ((
SO SAD
They have been living in LA for a long time now. The kids have always gone to school there. The living in France full time was not true.
Uh, isn’t Amber Heard a lesbian?
I don’t think Johnny will be with/seen with anyone in awhile.
Anybody else having a hard time picturing him with any one of these high-maintenance actresses flitting around H-Wood these days? I think he’ll be going low key — after he sobers up and brushes his teeth.
Why assume Vanessa was the one “hanging on” to the relationship? Because she is a woman? The only one to deny a split was Depp, who said they were fine. She only said she was sick of answering those types of questions ( this from the top of my head, not actually searching the web for this). In my experience, the partner that screws up and is trying to hold on is the one who insists everything’s good and the wronged party is “like, whatever.” All in all, this really sucks. There are few things less sexy than a man who can’t keep his family shit together.
Vanessa denied it on french TV long before Johnny’s camp did.
She said that normally she doesn’t answer to rumours but she will do an exception because those rumours of her splitting with Johnny reached her children and were now affecting them, blaming the press for hurting them with lies.
She added that things were better than never betwenn Johnny and her and that he was the love of her life.
Fair enough. Like i said, that was just my loose recollection. They were obviously hoping to work it out. Sometimes you think the two of you can work it out afterall and then something ends up being the last straw. Sad.
go Vanessa you are beautiful sweet and loving never mind troubled idiot who is now a joke of himself
I have been saying for months that Vanessa was too good for him but people where like No way he is a good guy and she is nothing, now you will see the REAL JOHNNY the mess he is I was a huge fan of him I loved him to death but now i think he is an a**hole even his movies are crap dark shadows was a major flop and now his stable family is broken? could he get any worse??, JOHNNY PLEASEE after his midlife crisis is over he will be begging her to go back with him but to then it wil be too late and Vanessa won’t go back with him and she will be on a happy stable couple with someone else and he will regret, like her exes did Lenny and florent pagny, florent a few years ago said that he still loves her but I don’t believe him he is another a**hole like Johnny but french version florent used to be hot when he was with vanessa now he is just ew, Lenny said he was madly in love with her and that she met him at a very bad time of his life and he regrets and that he would love to see her again and ‘talk’ in the future.. he might be very happy now she is single, let’s see what Johnny says about her in a few years probably the same crap like florent and lenny,
Let’s face the facts: when these two met, Vanessa was the sane one, even with all her struggles. At that time Johnny had finished a relationship with Kate Moss (they were HOT, but I can’t even imagine how many drugs and stuff like that,they used); and he used to trash hotelrooms. He was out of control, and I think he could have ended like River Phoenix, but Vanessa in some way grounded him.
For her he moved to France, away from Los Angeles and all the LA mess, and that saved him.
Now they’re over he has started being a mess again, maybe less wild, but always a mess. That says a lot.
what i find interesting: why is jd drinking, looking miserable and unkempt? is it really a midlife crisis? why leave france when you feel at home there? i think it has more or less to do with vanessa and her loss of interest in him or some other change in their relationship. perhaps she does still love him per se, but not as the man she initially met. people change. i think it is unfair to blame johnny for all of this. i seem to feel that he has been pushed away from her because his actions are of one that is very hurt/troubled.
So sad for them ,in hollywood very few couple last their life is to busy maybe ,i fell sorry for their kids to see their parents separated .
Just to play Devil’s Advocate for a moment …
I find it interesting & laughable that everyone is so quick to bash Johnny Depp for every fault imaginable, and paint Vanessa Paradis as the long-suffering saintly wife.
Take a moment and remember that a couple IS two people. Who is to say that Johnny’s “bad behavior” wasn’t prompted by Vanessa’s rejection? It could be that she wanted an end and this was his way of dealing with it.
In any case, it’s sad to see they have split. Hopefully they will both be grown-ups about it and put the kids well-being first throughout.
^^THIS
Lady Satan to begin with I strongly disagree with you but i respect your opinion tho..
let’s see if i understand your Devil’s Advocate thing so you say (let’s put a random month) january-february 2012 he was like “Vanessa let’s give another try let’s try to work it out” and she was like “merde! f-ck it I am sick of you and your crap” and she dumped him and kicked his ass out of the house and since months he has been begging her to give him one more chance and she kept on rejecting him and for that he is going through a mid-life crisis because he is heartbroken? mmm, nah. doesn’t make sense to me agree with the people bashing him looks like it was him who f*cked it up and didn’t help to fix it maybe he also cheated on her who knows he made this public to do not look like a cheater and look like he also ‘tried’ too but anyway his trick of making it public didn’t work people are green eyed with him not even his huge fan base can save him of this bashing, wish the best to Miss Paradis
Poor Lilly-Rose and Jack. This is sad news indeed.
Should Jamie Hince (Kate Moss’ husband) be worried now?
It’s become amusing how while tabloids and some of the online media are frothing at the mouth waiting for a Brangelina split, other couples around them seems to be falling apart. Not saying they’ll be together forever (because who knows?) but the obsession with them means the real, juicy gossip is often ignored for make believe stories on the Brange.
As for Johnny/Vanessa, you got to believe this split happened months ago. Johnny grew bored and he probably thinks he’ll always be a ‘rebel’ at heart and the sedate lifestyle wasn’t for him. Immature at his age but what are you going to do? Vanessa is better off cutting her losses and moving on.
As much as I am not a fan of her French sullenness, I find this to be so sad on so many levels. On an objective level, the first thing springs to mind is the kids and how this will affect them. On a subjective level, I hate that this is an all too common a scenario, wealthy, goodlooking man in his forties “uptrades” his ageing wife/long-term in for a younger model *amber heard* despite kids and soul-mate connection, just because HE CAN. It’s a detriment knowing that this happens and the lives it ruins in it’s wake and the depression, grief it causes. Let’s just hope that Paradis can console herself in the 3 million pay out. But my guess is she will mourn Depp forever just like Katy Perry’s character in the “one that got away”. Meanwhile, the Amber Heard’s of our society break up families without battering an eyelash.
I knew they would not last. The fact that he never wanted to marry her said alot. She got pregnant within a couple of months after their first meeting. He had just broken up with Kate Moss when he met Vanessa. Vanessa looks like the french Kate Moss. I don’t think he had time to process his feelings about kate when he hooked up with vanessa.He has always desperately wanted a family, so I think all of these factors pretty much paint the picture. This outcome was inevitable.I think he needs to find himself and define himself, not thru a woman or a fantasy of a family. So you are right that he’ll most likely date alot of hotties and get bored and hopefully find his true soulmate.
UGGG, I am so dissapointed in Johnny Depp. I used to totally Love the guy, but his gross, typical behaivour as of late is such a turn off!! It’s not the seperation from Vanessa, it’s the sleeping around with little girls young enough to be his daughters!! (or grandaughter in Ashley Olsens case!) That is just … sick. He is just typical and boring now.He looks ridiculous with these tweens on his arm, doesn’t he get It? He has to be an embarrasment to his daughter, I feel sorry for her.It’s all just so gross I have to go throw up now.
hmmm, what is he – a ‘man’ – you have to be made of something very very special if you rise to such a height and be able to keep your shit together. he’s allowed to go to pieces now and again – it’s part of the program – part of what being human is all about – if he is worth his salt he will rise again. compassion for each other is necessary all the time.
