Johnny Depp thrilled fans with his guitar work last night, when he caught up with old mates from rock band The Kid at Club Cinema in Pompano Beach.

The occasion was for the Sheila Witkin Memorial Reunion Concert in memory of Sheila Witkin, a local band manager whose son, Bruce Witkin, would go on to play in the Kids with Johnny.

Fans were kept waiting until after midnight today to find out whether Mr. Depp could keep up with the Kids’ guitar-centred power pop — and he impressed amid screams from the packed floor.

He might be nursing an injured hand, but that didn’t stop Shia LaBeouf from running his own errands.

The Transformers hunk was seen out getting some milk and a drink from a store in Glendale, CA yesterday.

Rocking skinny jeans and a t-shirt, camera-shy Shia greeted photogs with a few four-letter salutations as he made his way back to his L.A. pad.

While he can certainly work on the ‘tude, we’re happy Mr. LaBeouf has choosen something as nutritional as milk as his new beverage of choice.

During last night’s Voto Latino event in Denver, there was one very loud and very proud Latina missing…and now we know why!

Check out big screen bombshell Eva Mendes working her magic at a photo-shoot on the Bondi Icebergs Club in New South Wales, Australia today.

Rocking a variety of dramatic gowns (some requiring the help of four production assistants to hold up), Eva proved she’s fashion’s play kitten as she posed for (what is rumoured to be) an upcoming issue of Vogue Australia.

Miss Mendes arrived in Australia earlier this week to launch the ‘30 Days Of Fashion & Beauty’ event. She’s expected to pack up all her fabulousness and fly back to L.A. this weekend.

Just when you thought Lindsay Lohan’s online battle with her father Michael was just about to wrap up for the weekend, the parentless actress has updated her blog once again.

The title of the post: “the boy who cries wolf.”

just going to put it out there, i have had no contact with my father.
and i hope he uses this time to keep mourn the loss of his father, rather than taking the time to talk to the media about me or anyone in my life.
better he just keeps his mouth shut.

on another note-
im having fun on the set of Ugly Betty, the cast is great, the crew is great, and it’s nice to be at work, doing what i love to do!

xoxox

At first, we were Team Lindsay. But it appears she has yet to learn that what you focus on only gets bigger. To hell with with ‘em both!

Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey were all business as they departed at LAX International Airport today in Los Angeles.

Rocking similar jeans-and-tee travel outfits, the casually dressed couple made a last-minute arrival to their gate en route to a mystery destination.

Where to? Cabo perhaps? Maybe Maui? Not likely.

While the often unemployed couple can be found frolicking at various beachside destinations, both currently have hot gigs on their plate. While Vanessa has been mapping the country city by city promoting her new big screen comedy Disaster Movie, Nick is hosting High School Musical: Get in the Picture on ABC.

Disaster Movie opens on Friday. The season finale of Get in the Picture is on September 16. Once that’s over, the unemployment checks will resume and normalcy can once again be restored.

Charlize Theron has the jaws of fans dropping and the cameras of paparazzi going into meltdown as she hit the red carpet today for the premiere of The Burning Plain held at the Sala Grande during the 65th Venice Film Festival in Venice, Italy.

The Oscar-winning actress was the true embodiment of Hollywood glamour in an off-the-shoulder Versace number.

Fresh off their week-long getaway in Ibiza, the Pussycat Dolls crawled their way on to the Today show stage to offer fans an early morning performance of their hit single, When I Grow Up.

Meanwhile, during their post-performance interview, lead Doll Nicole Scherzinger said that she is scared that paparazzi might try and take photos of her underwear!

“The UK is the first place we were warned about under-dress shots. We’ve been scared ever since,” she said. “It’s not the attention that I personally want to get, but sometime you just have to realize that it’s a part of what you do and embrace it and make sure you’re poised to represent yourself the best way you can.”

Their apparent solution to the problem? Simply rock underwear on stage and you therefore beat the snappers to the punch!

There are endless stories about who Michael Phelps is dating, but it was Minnie Mouse who was by his side as the Olympic gold medalist took part in a Homecoming Parade at Disney World in Orlando today.

Meanwhile, Phelps will be heading to Chicago next week. Oprah has just announced that he along with Nastia Liukin, Kobe Bryant and 150 other U.S. Olympic team members will be on the season premiere of The Oprah Winfrey Show, slated to air September 8.

Lady O intends the show as a “welcome home celebration” and a chance to showcase Chicago as the city bids for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

No only did Barack Obama fill up the Invesco Field on Thursday night, but it appears Americans everywhere were glued to their seats to watch the Senator’s address to the Democratic National Convention.

Over 38 million television viewers reportedly tuned in last night to watch Barack officially accept the party’s nomination.

In comparison, John Kerry’s speech in 2004 garnered 24.4 million viewers and George W. Bush’s was watched by 27.5 million.

And now we wait for the Republican Convention. Will they be able to rally up the same support? Stay tuned!

What is the first thing you should do if you win a one million dollar record deal from American Idol? Hire a money manager!

Season two winner Ruben Studdard has been hit with federal and state property liens for allegedly failing to pay nearly $200 000 in state and federal taxes. The Velvet Teddy Bear owes the feds $171 920 in unpaid income tax and owes $21 730 in state income taxes.

The irony of it all? Most of it is from 2003, the year that Ruben won American Idol.

So, how’s he going to pay it off? He was recently dropped by J Records so that won’t help. Luckily the Alabama crooner will star in the touring production of the Broadway show, Ain’t Misbehavin, alongside fellow Idol-ers Frenchie Davis and Trenyce beginning this November.

Let’s hope he can get an advance on his first paycheck.
