| Johnny Depp: Always There For The Fans |
After cleaning up at the Teen Choice Awards, Captain Jack Sparrow and his band of pirates headed back to the Black Pearl after a summer hiatus from filming "Pirates of the Caribbean 3."
The cast of next year's sure-to-be box office hit are now back on the ship off the coast of Palos Verdes, Calif.
After filming wrapped for the day on Tuesday evening, Orlando Bloom made a quick escape by jumping in his car and heading out. While Johnny Depp, on the other hand, found time to say hi and take pictures with the dozens of fans waiting to see the actor through a chain link fence that borders the set. He rarely refuses to sign autographs even late into the evening. It's pretty clear why Depp walked away with the two Choice Movie Actor awards in both the comedy and drama/action categories. On- and off the screen- Johnny seems to be everyone's favorite movie star. |

Fake Oscar Removed from Auction An Oscar statuette expected to sell for more than $100,000 (£52,300) in an online auction has been withdrawn after it was discovered to be fake.
The statuette was listed as the best director award given to Leo McCarey for the 1944 Bing Crosby film Going My Way. Investigators were called in when McCarey's daughter said she still had all three of her father's Oscars. |
They discovered the statuette was a "high quality counterfeit", using an authentic base and a fake figurine. The top half of the statuette weighed around 1lb (450g) more than an authentic Oscar, said experts from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Opening bids for the Oscar at Chicago-based Mastro Auctions started at $25,000 (£13,000) before the item was withdrawn.
The Academy had strict rules prohibiting the sale of Oscars, but they came into effect in 1951, making earlier awards valuable auction items. The organization's executive administrator, Ric Robertson, said there were indications that the person who offered the item for sale did not know it was a fake. He added that the Academy would try to identify who made the copy and would "pursue its legal options".
Going My Way won seven Oscars in 1944, including a best actor award for Bing Crosby, whose rendition of Swinging On A Star also won the best song Oscar. As well as his directorial Oscar, Leo McCarey received another academy award for writing the film's story.
