Johnny Depp’s Dark Shadows ‘Torture’

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton have crossed the celluloid path on eight films over a little more than two decades. But apparently that long collaboration is not without a little pain. And apparently this time it was all about the… nails? Depp donned prosthetic fingernails to play his Dark Shadows character Barnabas, who is thrust into the ’70s after he’s accidentally freed from his coffin. The actor explained: “In every film that I’ve been lucky enough to do with Tim, there’s always some form of torture. The nails were Tim’s idea.” He noted that using the restroom was particularly difficult, saying he “had a troop of people who would help me go to the bathroom.” Yikes! Still, it sounds safer than Edward Scissorhands . [ Celebuzz ]

Ke$ha Ain’t Going Nowhere!

She doesn’t have the best singing voice around – as evidenced by this AMA performance – but Ke$ha has a message for critics in the latest issue of Complex : She ain’t going nowhere! And while she’s sticking around the music business, she might as well do so on roller skates… In an interview with Complex, Ke$ha touches on everything from being turned on by pocket change to being compared to Lady Gaga. Read a few excerpts below: What turns you on that people would find bizarre? A bag full of quarters. Is there a specific type of beard that you’re into? I like the rugged, mountain-man beard, personally. I won’t discriminate, but my favorite kind of beard is one that could potentially be a homeless beard. Like, you actually have to discover if they’re un-groomed for a reason. I like a really unkempt beard. Are you tired of the comparisons people draw between you, Lady Gaga , and Katy Perry? I actually think that’s cool. Out of that group of chicks, I’m the new bitch on the block, so I’m still getting used to being compared to some of the biggest pop stars in the world, but I don’t take any offense to it. That just means people know my records.
