Last year, Depp told MTV News he was "into" the idea of appearing in the movie, which sees Channing Tatum portraying his old role, but that no one had approached him about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depp's spokesperson on Tuesday, April 26, confirmed a report by ComingSoon.net, which said Depp will have a small cameo part in the new film. His role was not revealed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "21 Jump Street" film is due for release on March 16, 2012. Aside from Tatum, others set to star in the new movie are Jonah Hill, Rob Riggle, DeRay Davis, Dave Franco, Jake Johnson, Brie Larson, who will portray the female lead, and Ice Cube, who will play the police captain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"21 Jump Street" the television show also featured Holly Robinson Peete of the CBS show "The Talk" as well as Peter DeLuise and depicted young officers going undercover, often in high schools. Michael Bendetti was cast in the lead role following Depp's departure before the fifth and final season began in 1991.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depp has said he hated being contractually bound to "21 Jump Street" the series, but agreed it helped make him a household name. He has since become known for movies such as the "Pirates of the Caribbean" films and Tim Burton flicks such as "Edward Scissorhands" and "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depp reprises his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the fourth "Pirates" movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," which is set for release on May 20.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/kD4pKJoKjEg" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="320" width="220"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI5H491bZpKG-TIHRWkm9ATYLDi9oYHEMFKpXs8a42iaOqxt13-57t9HIfKCIotpMJHNED9l5ELa8QT-6IxOAw14FzBw6271lmv7n3QupF5yAtCbWYxPgbXU3k8jAp5C5QP7jSFNLdER9C/s72-c/johnny_depp1.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item><item><title>Kaeties holmes has settled her lawsuit with the publishers of Star magazine</title><link>http://celebritizone.blogspot.com/2011/04/keties-holmes-has-settled-her-lawsuit.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sohel Ahmed)</author><pubDate>Wed, 27 Apr 2011 17:40:00 -0700</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3288151978434453100.post-428277062944535612</guid><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDBTe2AZnBY4lN4DbZKhxwhamt1loSR7OKtRyI0pzN8oHl9cZ5JxVD3Iljb7omAMt79xv6dJFqWkwq5xSImnJ6sJdzv1ktGvi98ii8OsCE9CQcvd0P5WVvEDbQf3Aj5FsUv5DYca2a1xWU/s1600/katie-holmes-0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDBTe2AZnBY4lN4DbZKhxwhamt1loSR7OKtRyI0pzN8oHl9cZ5JxVD3Iljb7omAMt79xv6dJFqWkwq5xSImnJ6sJdzv1ktGvi98ii8OsCE9CQcvd0P5WVvEDbQf3Aj5FsUv5DYca2a1xWU/s320/katie-holmes-0.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600430863786817938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest news of keties holmes is She recently has settled her lawsuit with the publishers of Star magazine over a cover story that insinuated she was a drug addict.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The magazine published an apology to the actress Tuesday on its cover and inside, saying it "did not intend to suggest that Ms. Holmes was a drug addict or was undergoing treatment for drug addiction."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It apologized "for any misperception" and said it would be making "a substantial donation" to charity "for any harm that we may have caused."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holmes sued American Media Inc. last month for a January magazine cover with a headline that read "Katie DRUG SHOCKER!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Financial terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

Unfortunately,&lt;br /&gt;he's also nominated Eileen's arch rival, Agnes Dunn (Sharon Lawrence),&lt;br /&gt;who will clearly go to any ends to snare the coveted prize.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the qualifications for the title is a family life that conforms&lt;br /&gt;to traditional Catholic beliefs, but Eileen's comes up a bit short on&lt;br /&gt;that count. Her firefighter husband Frank (Michael McGrady) is a&lt;br /&gt;recovering alcoholic; her lesbian daughter Shannon (Emily Deschanel)&lt;br /&gt;is about to have a baby with her longtime partner Angela (Angelique&lt;br /&gt;Cabral); and her son Frank Jr. (Jason Ritter) has recently left his&lt;br /&gt;wife and is romantically involved with an older woman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At first, the film seems to be aiming for dark satire, perhaps&lt;br /&gt;something on the order of "Serial Mom," Turner's collaboration&lt;br /&gt;with John Waters. The notion is reinforced by the casting of&lt;br /&gt;Chamberlain, who famously played the randy priest in TV's&lt;br /&gt;"The Thorn Birds," and by the suggestion that Eileen's competition&lt;br /&gt;with Agnes may lapse into extremes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But screenwriters Claire V. Riley and Paula Goldberg have more&lt;br /&gt;sincere intentions, which is to depict their main character's gradual&lt;br /&gt;acceptance of her loved ones' lifestyle choices and personal flaws,&lt;br /&gt;as well as having to come to terms with her own not unblemished past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dialogue features the occasional comic zinger -- "I don't have to&lt;br /&gt;think, I'm Catholic," Eileen insists at one point -- but mostly the&lt;br /&gt;film aims for a blend of dysfunctional family drama and light comedy&lt;br /&gt;that never quite jells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, the well-drawn performances provide some compensation.&lt;br /&gt;Turner is deeply sympathetic as the religious matriarch even while&lt;br /&gt;providing subtle comic grace notes to the role. The low-key McGrady is highly appealing as the endlessly patient, loving husband, while Ritter and Deschanel are thoroughly believable as the grown children who love their mother despite her oft-expressed disapproval of their actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But for all its good intentions, "The Perfect Family" displays a&lt;br /&gt;Lifetime television movie-style tidiness that is ultimately all&lt;br /&gt;too predictable. It's hard not to wish that it had taken a few more&lt;br /&gt;chances and explored its certainly relevant themes a little more&lt;br /&gt;deeply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;iframe title="YouTube video player" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/OpEMiIbyans" allowfullscreen="" width="220" frameborder="0" height="320"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interview of Kathleen Turner&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguN-f9Ka00ffYIztDpoyWhj6qEfxEowHDAP2MeHZzmQMgvOvyIDBUjiIJcT2UuNOpQbMVS_NixACEtKSxhf6Cap0fC4iW2YWNL6HonxTy2XKZmYFaCP7B7gtIQrjx_Ujlc31oe_JzlbC8E/s72-c/kathleenturner9.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
