Daily NewsJohnny Depp is on a sexy streak. The sizzling “Pirates of the Caribbean” star, who nabbed a top 10 slot on People magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive list last year, has been crowned Cosmopolitan U.K.’s sexiest man in the world.
Madonna takes ‘Sticky & Sweet’ break, shows her ‘Filth’ at premiere
Madonna switched gears to “Filth and Wisdom” on Monday night, hitting the red carpet for the New York premiere of her debut as a feature film director. The Queen of Pop, who is circling the globe for her Sticky & Sweet tour, arrived solo, without hubby Guy Ritchie on her arm. “I’m so happy with the finished product,” she said. “Writing it was actually my favorite part because it is so different from everything I do and deep down inside I’m really a writer.”
Ray LaMontagne has latest ‘Gossip’
You can say a lot with a whisper. Just listen to singer Ray LaMontagne. Rarely does he raise his voice above a feathery hush. But that only focuses our attention on the rise and fall of every breath.
News flash: Prince has a sense of humor. Dave Chappelle once did a wicked bit on the Purple One (in which he spoofed his “Zorro outfit”). But the enigmatic entertainer still invited Chappelle to an intimate benefit show for his Love 4 One Another and Urban Farming charities. Also at the Inocente-sponsored concert, which celebrated “21 Nights,” Randee St. Nicholas’ book of Prince photos, were Spike Lee, Anderson Cooper and Howard Stern.
Resident “Jackass” star Bam Margera says that when it comes to Ashlee Simpson, Pete Wentz can have her. “I never really met her,” Margera tells Inked mag, out today. “I just saw her at some club in Miami, and she walked past like she was the coolest thing in the world. I thought, ‘I definitely don’t want to talk to her.’” Come on, Bam, don’t you have anything nice to say? “Her nose was haggard before,” Margera offers, “but now she looks pretty hot.”
PRINCE rocked the Gansevoort Hotel rooftop over the weekend, but the show was nearly KO’d by audience members who refused to turn off their cellphones. As the “Purple Rain” pop star prepared to take the stage, a panicked emcee announced the hundreds of cellphones in the room had knocked out Prince’s high-tech sound system. He begged fans to shut them or “there may not be a show.”
WHILE the rest of us are downsizing, Sean “Diddy” Combs is upgrading. The hip-hop mogul dumped one of his exotic rides last week – a 2004 Rolls-Royce Phantom – but it wasn’t because he’s feeling the economic pinch. Diddy’s wheels sold for $200,000 last week at the Dancy Power Automotive Group’s showroom on Lenox Avenue in Harlem. But Puff, who has a birthday coming up, is putting that cash straight into a new Rolls convertible.

Shaking Up ‘Woyzeck’ With Earthy Rock and Flying Trapeze
The title character of “Woyzeck,” a credulous Everyman driven to insanity by authority figures and jealousy, wouldn’t be out of place in one of Nick Cave‘s songs.
Another first for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel! “We’ve never publicly endorsed before. But we’ve never been so inspired by one person,” Timberlake told the Las Vegas crowd Saturday at a public rally for Barack Obama, where he and his equally supportive girlfriend took the stage at the Clark County Government Center. “I’m not here as some dude who writes goofy songs,” said the pop stud, in town to helm the PGA’s Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, which teed off today. “Me and Jess, we’re here as Americans. We’re here as humans because this is something we had to do.”
