Johnny Depp is set to play Tonto in big screen remake of The Lone Ranger, and after hearing the news of his casting, the New Mexico-based Comanche Nation Indian tribe has adopted him!
LaDonna Harris, a Comanche and president of Americans for Indian Opportunity, told the website Indian Country, “I reached out, and Johnny was very receptive to the idea. He seemed proud to receive the invitation, and we were honored that he so enthusiastically agreed.â€
“Welcoming Johnny into the family in the traditional way was so fitting,†Harris continued. “He’s a very thoughtful human being, and throughout his life and career, he has exhibited traits that are aligned with the values and worldview that Indigenous peoples share.â€
Depp has reportedly been interested in updating The Lone Ranger in an attempt to re-define the role of Tonto, who is John Reid's sidekick in the story. Armie Hammer plays Reid (aka the Lone Ranger), and the first photos of the two hit the web earlier this year, featuring Depp with a fully painted face and a crow on his head.

They're at it again!
Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney Kardashian are debuting yet another promo for their Kardashian Kollection lingerie line, and as always, the girls are scantily dressed and looking glam. Kimmy K is front and center - obvs! - posing seductively in an orange and cream bustier, while Lamar's lady and Mason's mama turn up the heat in the background. Our favorite E! darlings sure know how to get people's attention!
This photo shoot obviously took place months ago, because Kourt has been sporting a huge belly as she awaits the June birth of a baby girl with boyfriend Scott Disick.
We just have to say... how fab does Khlo look?! She's been scrutinized over her weight for years, but we have no idea why because her body looks a-ma-zing!

Miley Cyrus is an open book ... and this time the topic is sex!
The 19-year-old wild child sat down with Amanda de Cadenet for Lifetime's The Conversation and revealed her thoughts on gettin' busy. Miley told Amanda:
"Girls who base how much they're worth on the sexual favors they can do for somebody, that makes me really sad. Because sex is actually really beautiful."
And she didn't stop there. The former Hannah Montana star gave parents some advice. She added:
"It's the only way that we create and it's the only way that the world keep going. It's ignorant to not talk to your kids about it or make it seem like it's not as cool or magical as it actually is. If [kids] have a TV, they know what sex is. Everyone knows, so educate them."
The sexy songstress has been dating actor Liam Hemsworth for over two years.
Cyrus said, "Just be who you are, and that is where your style will come from, and your attitude, and your spirituality, and your sexuality," she said. "Because it's coming from a place of love."

Brad Pitt is a sexy A-list actor, but Angelina Jolie's 48-year-old fiance is finally starting to look his age around his eyes. Doesn't bother us ... Mr. Pitt is still gorgeous even with a few more lines!
The father of six, who is at the Cannes Film Festival to promote his upcoming flick Killing Them Softly, opened up about not racing down the altar. At a press conference for the film, Pitt said:
"We actually, really and truly, have no date. It's just something that makes sense to us, and certainly date-wise, it's just a rumor. We're still hoping that we can figure out marriage equality in the states before that date."
Sounds like Angie has plenty of time to pick out that designer wedding dress!
As for the shoot-'em-up movie based on the book Cogan's Trade, Pitt plays a hitman's boss who is investigating a heist that went down during a mob-protected poker game.
Brad Pitt, big guns and poker ... what's not to love?!
Killing Them Softly hits theaters on September 21.

Johnny Depp may have recently slammed reports of a split, but Vanessa Paradis has been spending quite a lot of time solo these days!
The French singer/actress looked glum as she picked up drinks for two at Urth Cafe in West Hollywood on Monday afternoon, while her partner/baby daddy is currently thousands of miles away shooting The Lone Ranger with Armie Hammer, in New Mexico.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star recently confessed to The Sun at the London premiere of Dark Shadows, "The rumors are not true. They are absolutely not true. No matter what I say about this, people believe the opposite. I can't say enough about it not being over." But Depp's partner of 14 years was noticeably absent from the film's premiere, and she hasn't shared a red carpet with him for over a year and a half.
Vanessa also recently revealed to Stylist mag, "I believe in love, and I want to believe that it lasts forever. But I'm like everyone else, you have to take things a day at a time and you can never know what comes next. All you can do is hope and love and live."
The Chanel model has two children with Johnny, Lily Rose, 12, and Jack, 10, but the pair never made their union official. In fact, Paradis also recently said of tying the knot: "I have a problem with the term soulmates. It scares me a lot. It's such a strong statement - it's like a marriage contract."

The High School Musical star has been spending extra time at the gym to get in perfect shape this summer, after she was forced to gain some extra pounds for her role as a pregnant gothic teenager in the upcoming flick, Gimme Shelter.
Over the weekend, Vaness was spotted getting cozy with her boyfriend, Austin Butler, at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Irwindale, Calif. We're happy to see they're still going strong!
