THE LONE RANGER: WE MISS JAY SILVERHEELS ALREADY

#theloneranger #janetcharlton

We admit we have mixed feelings about the new Lone Ranger movie starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. First of all, it’s produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and that means nonstop mind-bending action. Originally Johnny was asked to play the Lone Ranger and that suited us fine. But he insisted on playing Tonto and that’s where we have a problem. We’d love to see a real Native American play the handsome Tonto – those moccasins are hard to fill. Johnny looks like he might be hamming it up. When it comes out next summer, we’ll see for sure… (Above, original actors Clayton Moore and sexy Jay Silverheels )

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS MOVIE COUPLES IN THE WORLD

#loneranger #janetcharlton

And, needless to say, one of the most eccentric. Director Tim Burton and actress Helena Bonham Carter have been together for eleven years and have two children together. They say the secret to their happiness is the fact that they live in two separate, but joined, houses. Helena says her fashion inspirations are Vivienne Westwood and Marie Antoinette but she dressed down in this photo of the couple taking a stroll in London. Actually, they look like a perfect match from front and back. Helena just finished filming Lone Ranger with Tim’s pal Johnny Depp.

JOHNNY DEPP IS BACK AT HIS HOME IN FRANCE

It’s been awhile, but Johnny Depp finally went back to his home in France. The visit started rumors of a reconciliation with his partner Vanessa Paradis but that would be presumptuous. Johnny has recently been linked with his 26 year old Rum Diary costar Amber Heard because she’s been visiting him on the Mexico set of his movie “The Lone Ranger.” Lately, it’s said they have taken “a break” from each other. Insiders feel it’s improbable that Johnny will get back together with Vanessa, and most likely he’s spending time at home with his children Jack, 10, and Lily, 13. Johnny and Vanessa remain cordial for the sake of the kids.

JOHNNY DEPP IS TONTO, BUT WHO WILL PLAY THE LONE RANGER?

Ever since we heard that Johnny Depp is playing Tonto in Jerry Bruckheimer’s 2012 version of “The Lone Ranger,” we confess we’ve been drooling at the prospect. We thought no one could ever fill the moccasins of Jay Silverheels – our childhood crush – but Johnny is as good as it gets. Depp, you’ll recall, has a Cherokee grandmother, and both he and Jay were from Canada. This certainly increases the importance of the loyal kemo-sabe, leaving one to wonder who will be cast as The Lone Ranger. George Clooney was under consideration a few years ago, but considering the necessary athleticism, seems unlikely. Any ideas?
