Johnny Depp's reported $1 million donation to Great Ormond Street
Hospital has been exposed as lies, although Disney has pledged to help the
ill kids.


Newspapers had claimed that the Hollywood actor had donated $1 million
out of his own bank account to the hospital and visited to thank staff
for all their hard work.

While the hospital confirmed that the 43-year-old dropped in to
surprise children at the London hospital, dressing up as his character Jack
Sparrow from the Pirates Of The Caribbean films to read stories to the
youngsters last November, it insisted Mr Depp had not been in touch
recently.


Depp's eight-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, underwent life-saving
treatment at Great Ormond Street Hospital last year when her kidneys failed
after developing suspected E.Coli.

However, the hospital did reveal that Disney, the makers of the Pirates
Of the Caribbean movies, has donated £1 million and pledged to raise a
further £9 million for the hospital.

The Walt Disney Company will help Great Ormond Street Hospital
Children's Charity to raise £10 million towards its fundraising appeal.

Robert A Iger, President and Chief Executive Officer of Disney, arrived
at the hospital with Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse to hand over the
first £1 million cheque and hold an art class for the children.

"All of us at Disney hope this donation and fundraising effort helps
ensure that Great Ormond Street Hospital continues to deliver the quality
compassionate care for which it is rightly known," said Mr Iger.

"For all Disney does to brighten the lives of children around the
world, we are especially pleased to help create a warm and inviting
atmosphere for the seriously ill children in the care of Great Ormond Street
Hospital," he added.

The money raised will help to build a new meeting space for patients,
their families, visitors and staff complete with restaurant and cafe as
well as an interactive zone for youngsters.

TMZ has learned that four paparazzi were arrested for reckless driving last night after chasing Britney Spears' car around Mission Hills, Calif. -- and four more were pulled over for driving crazazy-like.

Around 11:20 PM last night, according to law enforcement sources, police pulled over a total of eight vehicles driven by photogs, after they were observed driving evasively at a high rate of speed and making dangerous lane changes in and around Mission Hills. Four of the drivers were arrested.

We're also told that Britney herself told cops that one of the cars may have tried to "run her off the road," but she couldn't ID which car it was, so no action was taken. Also, we spotted her going to Kitson -- the clothing store -- at 1:30 in the morning. Yes, she made them open up the store.

TMZ has also learned that cops were pleasantly surprised when Britney forked over a valid California driver's license.

Britney Spears' wild antics continued Wednesday night.

At 7 p.m., the singer and paparazzo beau Adnan Ghalib kicked off their night at Gaucho Grill in Sherman Oaks, California, where she noshed on two beef empanadas, grilled salmon, spinach and rice and a Coke. She also puffed on some cigarettes.

At around 11 p.m., Spears was spotted with Sam Lufti. Police pulled them over for speeding; she was not ticketed.

Along with Lutfi, Spears — in a crotch-length spangled green dress, ripped fishnets and her double-breasted corduroy pea coat — then went to Ralph's supermarket and left with two carts of groceries.

One photographer yelled, "You're hot!" and Spears replied, "You're mean because you're being sarcastic," before smiling and laughing.

Photographers began shouting questions.

Q: Britney, what do you want to say to Adnan on TV?
B: (Thinks for a second) "I think he's a nice person."
Q: What was the result of your pregnancy test?
B: "I never had a pregnancy test."
Q: Britney, what are you going to do now? Go to college?
B: (sighing) "Oh, I wish I was in college."

Two random guys then approached and joked "Britney, you don't like black guys?

"Yeah, I like black guys," she said, laughing.

She then let one of the guys pose with her in front of the cameras and hugged him.

At 2 a.m., Spears, Lutfi and another pal hit L.A.'s Kitson boutique. The store was opened just for them. Spears walked out about 20 minutes later with three shopping bags.

The crew drove one block to Kitson's Men's store. Spears came out wearing a men's pin-striped shirt and black skinny tie, her hair in a messy bun, around 2:20 a.m.

In a fake British accent. Spears said to photographers, "Where is your driver when you need them?"

Asked if she'd do anymore shopping, Spears replied, "No."

At 2:25 a.m., she was spotted sipping on an orange beverage. A photographer yelled, "Is that a screwdriver?" She nodded and smiled before driving off.

A new and improved auburn-haired version of the Ashlee Simpson was unveiled at a red carpet event in Hollywood on Wednesday. She even blinks!

Manufacturers of the 2008 model retained the same vapid facial expression, restructured nose and rubberized lips featured in previous editions of the Ashlee.

As with all Ashlee versions since late 2004, vocal simulation software is still on back order.

1. Johnny was born the youngest of four children and moved from Kentucky to Florida when he was five. He says: "Before I was 15, we moved 30 times, once just from one house to the house next door. I asked my mom why. I never did understand her explanation."

2. Johnny was a bit of a rebel as a youngster. He took up smoking at 12, lost his virginity at 13 and was soon dabbling in drugs and booze. He was also suspended from school for mooning a teacher before dropping out at 16 to join garage band The Kids.

3. Johnny played lead slide guitar on Oasis track 'Fade In-Out' when the band's own guitarist was three sheets to the wind. Legend has it he stepped in at the last minute and nailed the lead on one take. Go Johnny!

4. Johnny dated a string of beauties including Kate Moss and Winona Ryder but says he is prone to ruining his relationships with jealous rages. He tells us: "Oh boy. Oh f***. I was a professional at it. Oh, the scenarios I dreamed up. Oh f***. Oh. I mean, world-class." Calm down, man, we believe you!

5. What first attracted Johnny to sultry singer Vanessa Paradis? The sight of her back! He spotted her in the lobby of a Parisian hotel seven years ago and recalls: "Whammo, man, across the room, amazing, incredible, awesome. The back, the back, I saw the back, and I was reduced to [mush]."

6. Johnny has such a close relationship with Tim Burton that he would have sex with an aardvark if the director demanded it. Yikes! Hopefully it won't be necessary.

7. Jack Sparrow's line in Pirates of the Caribbean "...and then they made me their chief," is lifted from comedy series The Fast Show, in which Johnny once famously appeared. "I think it's one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen in any medium," he gushes. We take it he's a fan, then.

8. How excited was Johnny with his Oscar nominations for Finding Neverland and Pirates Of The Caribbean? Um... not very. He attended the ceremony after his Pirates nod, but moaned: "All Vanessa and I could think of was: 'When and where can we go smoke?' And: 'Where can we get a drink?' And: 'When is it over?' And: 'Please, don't let me win'."

9. Johnny likes to avoid the press by checking into hotels using ridiculous names. He says: "I used to use the name Mr. Stench; it was funny to be in a posh hotel and hear a very proper concierge call out, 'Mr. Stench, please'." He has also used Emma Roid but denies reports that he stayed at any establishment under the name 'Donkey Penis'.

10. Johnny dared What's Eating Gilbert Grape co- star Leonardo DiCaprio to sniff a rancid pickled egg and paid him $500 when he did the deed. Nice!

Although snapped while walking the streets of London on Wednesday, Amy Winehouse's blonde rat's nest, Aqua Net hairdo looks like it just stepped off a morning rush hour Staten Island Ferry in 1988! Let the river run!

While she may not be joining the Morgan Stanley secretarial pool anytime soon, we do wish she'd trade those dilapidated ballet flats for a pair of Yuppie commuter Reeboks!

A judge on Wednesday set an April 21 trial date for a dormitory matron accused of abusing students at a school set up by Oprah Winfrey for disadvantaged girls.

Tiny Virginia Makopo, 27, faces charges of indecent assault, assault and criminal injury, allegedly committed against six students ages 13 to 15 and a 23-year-old fellow dormitory matron.

Makopo appeared in court with a towel over her head. She did not speak during her brief court appearance.

Police said there were at least three serious cases of indecent assault, and that the alleged abuse took place over four months at the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, which opened last January.

Before the allegations, Winfrey said she told the pupils she was the "momma bear" who would protect them.

The 53-year-old talk-show host has spoken in the past of being raped by a distant cousin at 9 and then abused by three other men, trusted family friends. She has campaigned for laws in the United States to protect children from abusers.

Dr. Phil McGrawA complaint has been filed against Dr. Phil with the California Board of Psychology.

The complaint reportedly accuses Dr. Phil McGraw of practicing without a license when he visited Britney Spears at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after her meltdown earlier this month, according to TMZ.com.

Dr. Phil is also accused of violating the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The complaint alleges Dr. Phil practiced clinical psychology without a license and further violated doctor-patient privilege by discussing the pop star's case with the media.

Dr. Phil has never been licensed to practice in California, and he is no longer licensed in his home state of Texas.

McGraw failed to complete the conditions imposed as disciplinary sanctions by the Texas State Board of Examiners of Psychologists in 1989.

At that time a former therapy client had filed a complaint against him, claiming their relationship was inappropriate.

McGraw later admitted giving her a job but denied touching her.

Soon after he was officially reprimanded, McGraw closed his private practice.
