Dressed as Jack Sparrow, Depp visits schools
Hollywood heartthrob Johnny Depp paid a surprise visit to a school in London dressed as his most popular silver-screen character, pirate Jack Sparrow.
Depp made the trip after a nine-year-old pupil wrote to the star asking for help staging a “mutiny” against the teachers while he was filming the fourth instalment of the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise nearby.
The school was told just 10 minutes before that Depp would be arriving and two blacked out cars swept through the school gates.
Beatrice Delap who had written to the star’s alter-ego asking for help, was then asked by the star to make herself known from the assembled pupils once he arrived, and gave her a cuddle. \

Connery in property scandal
London: Hollywood icon Sean Connery, the original James Bond star, has reportedly been summoned to testify in a Spanish court for his alleged links to a property scandal.
The veteran actor and his wife Michelin allegedly failed to pay $2 million in tax on the sale of development rights to land on the outskirts of Malaga, reported Contactmusic.com.
He was named in a money-laundering investigation stemming from the sale of a seaside villa east of Marbella. He was said to have sold the property for $9 million in 1999 and it was replaced by a complex with 72 apartments, despite laws dictating only five homes could be constructed at the site. —PTI
