Talk about a big Hollywood treat for a small Washington state town!

Johnny Depp is currently filming the upcoming flick Lucky Them in the Seattle area, and he surprised small-town fans when he serenaded locals in the town of Carnation while taking a break from work.

The 49-year-old actor apparently had no qualms about interacting with his starstruck locals, looking relaxed and content as he played guitar and posed for pics.

Local reports suggest Depp was filming at a small lodge near the town, located in the Snoqualmie Valley and boasting a population of fewer than 2,000, when he decided upon the impromptu performance.

And from the looks of his smiling fans, he certainly made their day!

James Franco keeps on the same gay denial



NEWS -CINEMA-MUSIC-CELEBRITY-WORLD

 

 

The straight heartthrob insists he’s accepted the question mark over his sexuality, which wasn’t helped when he volunteered to perform oral sex on a bloke in his 2011 flick The Broken Tower.

‘One of the things that’s very much part of my public image is the question of my sexuality,’ the 34-year-old conceeded, ‘it’s not something that bothers me in the slightest. It hasn’t gone away and I get asked about it from all sides. It’s partly my doing and partly not my doing.’

While the 127 Hours star insists he’s comfortable with his sexuality, he reckons it’s high time big name Hollywood stars come out despite fears gay stars can’t win straight roles.

‘I think that the people I have known who are performers who haven’t publicly come out didn’t because they’re afraid it’ll hurt their careers. And they’re afraid they won’t be able to play straight roles anymore,’ said Franco.

But he reckons times have changed and a gay actor could make it playing a straight role.

‘I think I could see a really big name coming out and doing that,’ he told Attitude magazine.

‘I think the time is about right. I’m not an authority on this but if I think about it for a second…if there’s somebody that was well respected and very secure with their career, I could see it happening in a very positive way.’

John Stamos Teams Up with The Black Keys

Uncle Jesse Drums on the Keys' New Album, Calls Patrick Carney an 'Inspiration'


 

Following the success of their last grammy-winning album, El Camino, The Black Keys are really "reaching for the stars" on their new album follow up, and one of those stars include Full House's Uncle Jesse, aka John Stamos, reports MTV News.

"We're working with John Stamos," Carney of the Keys said. "He's actually performing the drums on our album."

You got it babe..."Uncle Jesse" will be drumming his way into The Black Keys newest album.


Stamos, known as the cool, impressively-coiffed "Uncle Jesse" on Full House, has been an on-and-off drummer for the Beach Boys for several years, according to Elmore Magazine. He also showcased his musical talents on the 1990's hit sitcom by playing random cameos with his on-tv band Jesse and the Rippers.

John Stamos tweeted at Patrick Carney of The Black Keys on February 19th:


Although Stamos may think Carney is an "inspiration", according to recent news, most beliebers would have to disagree. Justin Bieber fans lashed out against the drummer for his negative comments about their pop idol after the Grammys a few weeks back.

"Grammys are for, like, music," Carney said. "Not for money ... and he's making a lot of money. He should be happy, I guess."

Once Bieber responded by saying that Carney needs to be "slapped around" a little, Beliebers had Justin's back and took to Twitter with rage. Youngins tweeted insults at Carney, prompting the Grammy-winning musician to take on a fake Bieber profile for his own Twitter page, according to Daily News.

He changed his name to Justin Bieber, though he kept the "@patrickcarney" handle, with a profile description that reads "official twitter for the actual verified Justin Bieber DOS virtual buddy."

Moving past the recent Justin drama, The Black Keys refocus on what's most important, their music. In addition to addition Stamos to their new album, the Keys will also be re-teaming with frequent collaborator Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton on their new album, according to MTV.

The other Black Keys member, Dan Auerbach, explained in a previous interview a few months back, "We're going to start making the new album in the second week of January and we're hoping to have it done by some time in March ... The record isn't written yet, we'll do it when we get into the studio. This is when we both work best, when we're dying to make an album. All of our records take place in the studio, in that we make stuff up while we're there."

After playing a series of shows in April and May with special guests The Flaming Lips, according to Spin.com, they will reportedly take the summer off.

As for John Stamos, besides drumming on the Keys new album, after stints on ERGlee, and The New Normal in the last few years, Stamos is set to star in NBC's I Am Victor, a drama about "a high powered divorce attorney with a unique view of relationships," as noted by Vulture.

We look forward to seeing and hearing the latest from tv's best looking uncle..."have mercy!"

Interview with Dermot Mulroney



NEWS -CINEMA-MUSIC-CELEBRITY-WORLD

Thanks for joining us today! Can you tell us the story of how you came to join the cast of Enlightened?

I was thrilled when I got a call from my agent in regards to playing the role of Jeff. I was really happy because I had watched the show. I was already a fan. Then I met with Mike and Laura who I had recently met before that, and then I got the part.

Enlightened has made a big impact on me, what kind of impression do you think this show is giving on corporate america and workers?

In this day and age, we're all kind of "on" to these people. I haven't seen a tv show about it yet, but I think in recent years, consumer tend to be more savvy and more aware of the impact these companies have on their environment or on their economics. In other words, I think this show appeals to people because pretty much everyone distrusts corporate America, we've learned by now.


Do you prefer working in TV or film? What’s your favorite aspect of each?

I like acting in anything. Television, however, is cool because you can develop a character, or even while you'er playing the character in one scene, you might not know what's coming up. I'm accustomed to knowing the whole story from a screenplay. So it's fun to have the character reveal itself. Enlightened in many ways was like working on both, the best of television and the best of film. The directors that came in to direct the episodes that Mike didn't do was fantastic. The whole feel of it was like filming a movie.

How did the SNL skit come about?

I have no idea. I have no idea. They just called out of the blue on the Thursday and everything got kind of hazy for a day and a half, and then I found myself standing in that famous studio in New York. They approached me with the script already written, as you see it. That name confusion has been hovering around for a long time, so they were playing off that.

Outside of Enlightened, what have been some of your favorite projects?

Recently I enjoyed working on New Girl. That was last year as well, so between Laura Dern and Zooey Deschanel, I really had the creme of the crop. In the fall I completely work on a movie called August: Osage County, starring Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, Chris Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch, a great ensemble cast. That was also a fantastic job, very rewarding.

What's your most embarassing acting moment? Do you like to watch your work?

Not knowing my lines in a scene with Holly Hunter, terrible. I learned my lesson that day. Only recently did I start watching my work. You end up having to see the movie a couple times right when it comes out. It's okay, it's not great, it's kind of nervewracking. It can be no fun at all, sometimes.

As an actor, you're constantly in the spotlight. How does that influence you as a person?

I consider myself pretty lucky for being able to navigate the real world without having to behave in any certain kind of way. People are cool in Los Angeles, they're used to it. Everyone's always really cool to me, I'll be stopped by people to take a photo, but more often in other cities in the US.

Why do you think Jeff and Amy make a good match? Or why don’t they?

I think they make a terrific match. I pictured Jeff as a guy who would be in perpetual motion, so he was never going to stay very long. My take is that they are very respectful of one another, want to leave their mark on culture, so they had a good little run there. That is in my opinion. Maybe he's a little blunt when he breaks up with her.

What drew you to Enlightened? You said you were a fan before, how did you discover it ?

The first I became aware of it was from a poster around town with Laura Dern in a state of dishevelment, so I tuned in right from the very first episode.

You are in such good shape. What's your fitness regime like?

I eat more healthy now than I ever have, so that's a lot of it. And I go to the gym, stay fit that way. No real routine.

How do you pick your roles? What qualities do you look for in a character or a script?

I like just about any type of movie so I'm interested in everything. I'm also curious about what my next role is going to be, it's always an adventure.

Amy's on a journey of growth. What advice would you give to a person who wants to achieve growth, but is anxious to change?

I noticed recently about Amy from watching the show, how naive she really is. So I'm hoping that she retains the qualities of wonder that being naive can have, but lose the gullible innocent victim part of being naive. She's almost there, it's been really fun to watch. Her heart is in the right place. She's just got to work on her delivery system.

What was your first day on the set of Enlightened like?

It seemed pretty relaxed. I knew both Laura and Mike just a little bit, so they made me feel right at home. I had met Laura a really long time ago, so it was a nice way in to it feeling like we were meeting for the first time.

Co-creators Mike White & Laura Dern both seem to have such a passionate relationship with this project. What's it like working with the two?

Mike and Laura make a great team. They're very dedicated workers. When you're with them on the set, you get a sense they're on some sort of mission, it's very inspiring to work with both of them and to see how they work with one another.

Some actors say they have difficulties shooting scenes in which their characters laugh. What kind of scenes are difficult for you to do?

I can't think of any particular type of scene that I have difficulty with.

Do you think Jeff was sincere in his efforts to romance Amy or was it just manipulation on his part to get a story?

Of course I think that he was genuine rather than just manipulating her for the story. There's plenty of reasons. She's passionate, funny, unique. I don't feel like Jeff did anything wrong. It's a delicate situation of course.

If acting was not your option for a career. What do you think you would have done instead in it's place?

I remember coming out of college and I had made moves in the direction of working as a cameraman. I thought I'd probably end up doing that, and would have liked to. Something along those lines. Whether I'd still be doing it, 28 years later, like I am now with acting, I don't know.

what's the best piece of advice you've ever gotten?

I remember my father once told me, about acting, which he knows nothing about, to "represent the epitomy of reality," that's how he put it. I thought that was good advice, for an actor, from a law professor.

Is your character someone you can relate to, or have had similar ideals with?

I think a lot of people can relate to Jeff because he acts on what he believes in, and to accomplish anything, you need to take action. So he's a good role model in a lot of ways. I liked him for that reason myself.

Do you think Laura dern's character's motive for justice is naive?

My reading of it is this. There seems to be an element of Amy of wanting to be recognized, acknowledged, and a lot of people feel that, maybe we all do at some time. Her motives are mixed, but even then, they're coming from an understandable position.

Boxers or Briefs?

To be precise, boxer briefs.

Thanks for taking the time to join us today! Do you have any final words for your fans?

If any of them, like myself, haven't seen the last episode of the season, be sure to watch. I've read the script and it's really terrific. I'm looking forward to it as much as anybody.
