Here are two trailers for new Johnny Depp movies, both of which fall somewhat squarely in the kid-friendly demographic. He seems to be cultivating a pretty strong crop of these movies, strangely offsetting his Sweeney Todds and Hunter S. Thompsons.

Like so much else this weekend, the box office was a complete disaster! Everything was ruined, including a beloved franchise and the careers of two beloved actors. All is rot and ash now, so let's sift through it.

Today at Gawker.TV, Prince randomly drops in on The View, more hobo-wear from Johnny Depp, Obama's Mythbusters episode, Russell Brand attacks Craig Ferguson's robot, and a look at NBC's new comedy Perfect Strangers.

In The Tourist, Jolie's character turns an unsuspecting vacationer into a bumbling patsy, so it's poetic that the real-life femme fatale has that same effect on G4TV's hapless junketeer. Plus, more "hobo cowboy" fashion from Johnny Depp!

Today at Gawker.TV, Highlights from James Franco's Inside The Actors Studio, Johnny Depp blows the whistle on Al Pacino's joke-telling abilities, Michael C. Hall sings a creepy Christmas carol, and a sneak preview of Holly's return to The Office.

Johnny Depp stopped by the Late Show last night to promote his new movie, The Tourist, which comes out Friday. He talked about Marlon Brando, Al Pacino's joke-telling abilities (he's apparently not so good), and …babysitting Angelina Jolie's dog? Yes.

Shiloh Pitt may be the weirdest four-year-old you've ever heard about. Also today: sad news for Sarah Jessica Parker, happy news for Carrie Prejean and another religious nut, a tale of Johnny Depp's opulence, and the requisite Lohan update.

Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards somehow mustered enough brain cells to recall his past for a new tell-all book, Life. In it, Richards reveals Mick Jagger's anatomical secrets and says he thought Johnny Depp was his son's drug dealer.

A 9-year-old student in London wrote a note to Johnny Depp asking him to lead a mutiny against her teachers. His response? Surprise her by showing up at her school dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow. This man is awesome.

A seven-year-old girl considers Paris Hilton is her "step-mom." Kevin Jonas' wife might be pregnant. Lindsay Lohan breaks her crippling internet addiction. Nobody wants to see Tila Tequila's sex tape, but it's about to happen, anyway. TGIFriday gossip.

Here's a trailer for the upcoming comedic(ish) thriller The Tourist, about a bumbling American tourist (Depp) who, while traveling in Italy, gets mixed up with a mysterious woman (Jolie, duh) and action/adventure/intrigue ensues. It looks... less than thrilling?

Here's a teaser/promo for the upcoming fourth movie in the shoulda-ended-at-one Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, On Stranger Tides, featuring Johnny Depp in character as Dr. Jack Sparrow, talking about the fountain of youth and Penelope Cruz.

Lindsay Lohan might go to jail for going to Cannes. Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp are either fighting or screwing. A fight rages for twitter domination. Peaces Geldof exposes herself again. Saturday Gossip Roundup is not making this up.

In your substitute Friday media column: Christiane Amanpour eyes George Stephanopoulos' old chair, the Los Angeles Times wraps itself in Johnny Depp's handsome mug, the New York Times does teevee, and a Star is unborn.

Alice in Wonderland will make a lot of money. HBO wants to make a movie about the financial crisis, Deepak Choprah is pulling a Sarah Palin. Pet Sematary is back. This trade round-up not built on an Indian burial ground.

Maybe not forever, but at least for the foreseeable future. After Avatar and Alice In Wonderland it appears that directors have chosen to play with their new bag of gimmicks rather than, you know, bother with a compelling story.

Weir explains his creative process. Jessica Simpson cries on Oprah's couch. John Mayer can't get a date. Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson grope each other in public. Johnny Depp fears mirrors. Tuesday gossip is the window to celebrity souls.

Well, to state the obvious, it would be like Weekend at Bernie's on a handful of mushrooms. This could (and should) be the new career direction for Tim Burton. Instead of remaking already trippy movies, trippify stupid 80's comedies!
