AP Photo NYET625 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Johnny Depp has the write stuff when it comes to signing autographs while Cameron Diaz is the worst, according to a new list from Autograph Collector magazine. Depp, followed by George Clooney, topped the magazine's 14th annual survey of Hollywood's best and worst signers. The ``Pirates of the Caribbean'' star also was rated best last year. ``Many stars become bad signers once fame and fortune hits, but not Depp. He's even signed autographs for crowds at the airport while carrying luggage,'' said Steve Cyrkin, editor and publisher of the Santa Ana, Calif.-based magazine. As for Clooney, ``he'll joke as he signs, and make fun of how he looks in photos he's handed to autograph,'' Cyrkin said. When it comes to her moniker, however, Diaz gets a flunking grade. ``Cameron Diaz may be a talented actress, but she's persistently a terrible signer. Instead of just turning down a person's autograph request, she'll lecture them about how dumb autographs are,'' Cyrkin said. Russell Crowe would have been named as the best of the worst but in recent months he has been much nicer to fans, Cyrkin said in a telephone interview Friday.
Enjoy!

Once in a while, a new member has to join the club; otherwise, there would be no movies to make sequels of. Three years ago, that film was Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. It vaulted from prerelease shrug to summer smash, earning $305 million in North America and $652 million worldwide. So here comes the sequel, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (opening July 7), which was shot at the same time as Pirates III, due out next summer.
For this double voyage, Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer re-enlisted the old crew: director Gore Verbinski, writers Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott and stars Johnny Depp (as scurvy Captain Jack), Orlando Bloom (the young hero, Will Turner) and Keira Knightley (Will's fiancé, Elizabeth Swann). They all seem pumped. "There's a kid inside most of the people on this crew," Verbinski says, "that gets juiced to get up in the morning and say, 'Hey, we're doing this.' This is the type of movie that says it's fun to go to the theater again."
The very notion of sequels might horrify Depp, Hollywood's best current example of dreamboat movie star and superserious character actor. "It's a dangerous game," he acknowledges. "Rocky went into almost Warholian levels of absurdity. But if your intentions are good and pure, then you can sort of skate through, make an interesting, entertaining film." His Captain Jack, the maniacally mannerist pirate, was plenty entertaining, to audiences and to Depp. "I truly love the character," he says, "and I didn't feel I'd had enough of him in the first one."

The eccentric star - who appears alongside young newcomers ORLANDO BLOOM and KEIRA KNIGHTLEY in the blockbuster - admits he found issuing words of wisdom to the up-and-coming actors a real struggle. Johnny explains, "I'm really no one to be giving advice. I've stepped in more s*** than most people - and on purpose. "But because how they initially tried to present me to the public was such an uncomfortable skin to be forced in, I fought. And it's still going on to some degree, even at the ripe old age of 40." The father of LILY-ROSE and JACK adds, "So when Orlando comes to me and says, 'Hey man, they want me to be this and do that,' essentially I told him, 'F*** 'em. Just do what you need to do for you.'" | |||

Depp To Play Rock God? 24/04/2006
As well as starring in Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 this summer, rumours are starting to fly that Johnny Depp might be set to play Australian rock star Michael Hutchence in a story of his life.
Hutchence, the lead singer of INXS who notched up loads of worldwide hits in the 80s and 90s, went out with Kylie Minogue before having an affair, and later a baby, with Peaches and Fifi Trixibelle’s mum Paula.
He was found dead in a hotel room in Sydney in 1997.
As well as Depp, other actors rumoured to be in the running for the role include Hayden Christensen and Eric Bana who starred in Troy.
