Another news site reports that things started going sour after they moved from France to Los Angeles. Guess Depp fell under the same "LA spell" that fictional character Hank Moody did. LA changes you. It's like no other place in the world.

Wishing them and their children the best.

Who here is surprised? He's the male equivalent of Lady Gaga. Does he ever act anymore without so much makeup? Does he ever hold up his end of a conversation when he's promoting a movie and being interviewed? Boring guy. Overrated.

Yet YOU took the time to read the article and comment? Seems he's not as "boring" to you as you pretend.

[gmcken]

he's always given me the creeps. Only movie I ever liked him in was the pirate movie

[MIO42]

Oh No

HHHHAAAAARRRRGGHHH. !

[AnnieDanny]

Amicably... I can't believe the Publicists say that every time. What do they think we are, stupid? Give the public some CREDIT.

[doobiedotoo]

So YOU have inside information on THEIR private situation, eh? And yes, you ARE "stupid."

Maybe she got fed up that he wouldn't go to bed without wearing that ridiculous costume of his.

What "ridiculous costume"? Are you perhaps confusing the man with his movie roles?
