He's A Giver

Filed under: Inspiration > Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp has donated $2 million to the British hospital that treated his daughter when she was sick last year with kidney failure.

Last week, Depp invited doctors and nurses from the hospital to the London premiere of Sweeney Todd.

And, back in November, Johnny spent four hours at the hospital telling bedtime stories to patients dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow after having his Pirates Of The Caribbean costume flown over from Los Angeles.

Depp's daughter mysteriously got E.coli poisoning last year. She's doing well now.

Johnny - if you are reading this - please help this little boy at www.boys4hire.info. Any small amount will help him get his forever home. He is 10 years old and deaf and was abandoned at the age of 2 1/2. Thank you. Please tell your friends.

OF COURSE… JOHNNY IS THE BEST….EVER!!! A GEMINI ALL THE WAY. ALL OF HIS GIRL LOVERS LOOK LIKE FAIRY PRINCESSES. KATE MOSS AND VANESSA LOOK SO MUCH ALIKE, AS DOES WINONA RIDER. SMALL AND PETITE. I'D LOVE HOW THIS CELEBRITY KEEPS HIS LIFE INTACT. (UNLIKE SOME BRIT MESS WE KNOW… IT'S SO PATHETIC…)

63

I really like Johnny Depp. I hope there were more celebs than him, who could use their money and celebrity status for the greater good, and less celebs such as Britney, Paris, or Lindsay, who the only thing they care about is showing their underpants (if they're wearing any of course).

Am I the only one that got a warm fuzzy feeling about this blog? I think Johnny Depp is fantastic! now here is a great example of a hot commodity as a celeb doing whats right instead of leaving his children and the ones who are not even his in the dust! Kudos to you JD!

That's awesome. It sounds like he has his priorities straight. I bet he really made those kids happy when he came to read to them… I mean, I'd be happy if I got to see Jack Sparrow!
Tiffany says – reply to this

77

He is so incredible. I wish nothing but the best for him and his lovely family. This world could use more people like him. If you don't have money, take time for others. If you have money, take time for others AND donate your wealth to help others in need. Thank you Johnny for being an inspiration!
ivy says – reply to this

78

That is just incredibly awesome! Many people, not just celebrities, should take a cue from this man! Sad that so few post regarding news like this, yet hundreds post on how awful someone looks or how idiotically someone behaves.

Hollywood could use some lessons from Johnny. I've always thought he was a sincere, genuine, classy dude and this story proves it. Thanks for the great energy shot, Perez!

83

okay fine, johnny depp may be a nice guy, a good actor, whatever. why does he always have to look like shit? like a homeless guy or something? geez.
hotel283 says – reply to this

84

this guy is what celebrity should be about, why the hell aren't we more interested in him? Shit, the guy can act - really good too!! Shame on all of us for not cherishing these good things in people more. Certainly Britney hasn't a shred of Johnny's character…and never will.
Laury says – reply to this

85

I'll never understand what Johnny sees in Vanessa. She's ugly and looks downright annoying.

I don't know what to say…Imagining myself going down the hallway @ that hospital and then I get a face-to-face with Jack Sparrow himself! My knees would've buckled! Then again, I wish I was ill so he can read to me a bedtime story =D Kudos to Depp, once again you have shown what a man is made of!

I wish all the stars and people the fans make famous would behave in this manner. So many people could benefit.

Way to go Johnny!

Criss Angel Responds To Recording Of Altercation! Says Producer Provoked Him!

There are two sides to every story! Here's his!

In light of the audio recording released yesterday that featured Criss Angel threatening to knock out one of his producers, the illusionist's attorney, Ken Woloson, has released the following statement:

"Criss Angel was in the process of firing Joe Safuto on Wednesday when Safuto became abusive and Criss asked him to leave. Criss decided to fire Safuto in response to repeated complaints from co-workers and other magicians about Safuto's abusive and violent behavior and general ineptitude. Witnesses have attested that there was no physical contact and that Safuto very clearly was the antagonist. The audio released to the media is a snippet of a much longer conversation. We are exploring legal action against Mr. Safuto, including for his defamatory and illegal conduct."

Ouch! Sounds like he means business!

Give the clip a listen again (above)!

It DOES certainly sound like Angel was provoked! But enough to respond like he does?

What do U think?? Who's really at fault here??
