'Captain Jack' turns into a vampire!



One of Hollywood's brilliant actors (and an absolute favorite of mine), Johnny Depp, is set to join the undead and become a lovelorn vampire. Depp will work with, once again, with his old pal Tim Burton. They both plan to make at least three Dark Shadows movies and the first one is set to be shown in cinemas next year.

2010 will surely be a big year for Depp, with Alice in Wonderland coming out as well as the first Dark Shadows film.

Depp revealed: "I was obsessed with the character as a child. It triggered my earliest desire to become an actor."

I'm thrilled to see Johnny Depp as a vampire. I can almost imagine it.

Brangelina buys a 1000-acre home!



The power couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (or Angie as I like to call her 'cause we are THAT close :p) bought a 1000-acre estate in the South of France for all of their kids to enjoy a nice and huge space. And it IS huge. Not to mention it was worth around $60-$70 million.

Back in 2008, they rented a luxurious and private mansion in France and when they come back sometime ago, they decided to purchase it and make it as their own.

"It’s called Chateau Miraval in a village called Brignol, which is near from Aix-en-Provence, and it’s absolutely unbelievable..." says one source, according to Hollywood Grind and other popular celebrity news reports.

Brad and Angelina will not be the first, last, or only International Star set to make the South of France a major home base. Historically, royal European nobles and aristocracy have all flocked to the region for it's quiet pace and resort warm to moderately temperate climate feeling.

Some of the couple's will include Johnny Depp and Bono of U2. Now THAT is a good neighborhood.

The details of the other celebrity home features and luxury property amenities that make this particular parcel of real estate so great are as follows:

  1. 35 bedrooms
  2. a vineyard
  3. lake
  4. forest
  5. moat
  6. swimming pool
  7. billiards room
  8. indoor pool
  9. his-and-hers gyms
  10. sauna and jacuzzi
  11. a huge banquet hall
  12. cascading stone-walled terraces that have been replanted with 13 different varieties of olives
  13. 20 fountains
  14. water aqueducts
  15. a stream that runs through hidden tunnels and passes through the moat, and also fills the lake.

Paula Abdul quitting 'Idol'



The 47-year-old singer/dancer tweeted Tuesday night that she's quitting the hit show American Idol after 8 years.

"With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return" to Fox's singing contest, Abdul said in a posting Tuesday night on her Twitter account. "I'll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day 1 become an international phenomenon."

The panel for next season will only include the 2 originals, Randy Jackson and Simon Cowell, and the newcomer last year, who I don't like AT ALL, Kara DioGuardi.

"What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me," Abdul said to followers on Twitter in announcing her decision. Abdul, a onetime-Los Angeles Lakers cheerleader who became an award-winning choreographer and singer, didn't indicate her post-"Idol" career plans in her tweet.

I was hoping so hard that Kara would leave next season. Although I don't like Paula too much, it just doesn't feel right that she's gone and Kara's around. I'd rather have her than Kara, who's trying hard to be the female version of Simon Cowell. Biatch, puh-lease!
