The 37-year-old singer/model/actress Vanessa Paradis is must be playing a very homely character in her film Cafe de Flore - just look at her wardrobe on set! Johnny Depp's lovely lady is shooting in Paris and the story is as follows: "A love story between a man and woman. And between a mother and her son. A mystical and fantastical odyssey on love."
Sounds full of whimsy and romance! As for Depp, they're making a movie adaptation of 21 Jump Street and the filmmakers are hoping the actor makes a cameo. Depp is also rumored to take over for Tom Hardy in Snow White and the Huntsman - busy bee!

Ouch! But Conan O'Brien is a funnyman, so we're assuming he was just joking around. Ish.
The 47-year-old talk show host, who debuts his new TBS shindig on Monday, gives a pretty frank interview with Playboy's December issue about, you guessed it, leaving NBC and rival Jay Leno:
"I have had too many good things happen in my career to end on any kind of bitter note. I'm just saying this to you; we're alone in this office, and I don’t have to say this: I am an incredibly fortunate person ... And as crazy as this sounds, my career with NBC was overwhelmingly positive until this ... The entertainment business has an amazing way of turning really lucky people into bitter, angry, rage-filled, jealous, resentful wretches who can’t believe they got screwed. Some things have worked out great for me, some things haven't. You keep going."
Someone's not holding back! And about Leno himself? "[Leno is] a guy you hear coming a long way off. There aren’t many three-cylinder engines in California that run on peat moss. And we hang out in different circles, so I don’t think we’ll be bumping into each other."
Conan adds that Jay Leno is welcome on his new show "as the musical guest." Why? "Because that I want to see," proclaims Conan. "No one knows he has an operatic range."

The Wolverine hunk always has his trusty scooter with him! Here's Hugh Jackman in the Big Apple picking up his precious daughter Ava from school on Wednesday... and she has a scooter, too! Of course it's a girl color and not as manly as dad's. Just the way it should be!
Meanwhile, producer Bryan Singer denies Jackman is in Matthew Vaughn's X-Men: First Class, saying "he's in the Wolverine movies."
First Class hits theaters June 3rd, 2011. Think we'll see a cameo by Hugh?

Despite online reports claiming this is a single from Kim Kardashian's upcoming album, a source close to Kim K tells X17online exclusively, "This is not her voice on the track."
The single, called Shake, has been spreading across the internet with the starlet's name attached. To clear the air, Kim tweeted, "So I guess some song was released today and people seem to think its me, sorry guys, it's not me!"
During an interview last year with Hollyscoop, Kim had the following to say about her plans for a music career:
“I’d have to hear a song and feel it out and see if it’s something I’d sound good at,†Kim said. I would like the music to sound a bit like Lady GaGa, Britney Spears and J.Lo with a bit of an R’n’B twist to it. Filming the video would be the most fun.â€Â
Don't know about you, but we can definitely hear Britney's vibe in this track. Even though it's not Kim's, we kinda like it!

We're pretty sure Lady Gaga isn't expecting a batch of little monsters anytime in the next 9 months, but she's definitely wearing something you might have seen on Kate Gosselin during the third trimester of her pregnancy!
The pop superstar was snapped leaving her London hotel this morning in a poufy pink frock, and our best guess is the Alejandro singer is covering up those extra five to ten pounds she's gained over the past few months...
