Happy 50th Birthday, Johnny Depp!

Johnny Depp hits the half-century mark today. One of Hollywood’s favorite actors for years, the Kentucky native is showing no signs of slowing down as he enters his sixth decade on this ninth of June. A critical and fan favorite, he was 2012’s highest-paid actor while winning Best Actor at the Golden Globes for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street . He also claimed the SAG Award for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl , and can be seen this summer with Armie Hammer in The Lone Ranger . Not bad for a 50-year-old. He’s also reportedly dating Amber Heard , his gorgeous Rum Diary co-star, after both thespians ended their respective, long-term relationships last year. Between Depp, Brad Pitt (49), Tom Cruise (50) and George Clooney (52), it’s looks like 50 is the new 30 for Hollywood leading men these days. Happy birthday Johnny!

Erin Brockovich: Arrested For DUI! On a Boat!

Legal advocate Erin Brockovich (now Erin Brockovich-Ellis) needs a lawyer of her own after being arrested while boating on Lake Mead near Las Vegas. She was booked Friday night and posted $1,000 bail. A game warden who saw Erin Brockovich-Ellis having trouble docking a boat on her own offered her assistance, and then noticed she had slurred speech. “She was obviously struggling … and if you’ve had any experience, it’s a simple enough operation,” said Edwin Lyngar of the Nevada Department of Widlife. A field sobriety test showed Brockovich-Ellis was “significantly” over the .08 percent legal threshold for operating a boat, says Lyngar, and she was arrested. We imagine her boat party went something like this … SNL Digital Short: I’m On A Boat We’re kidding. But still, that video is hilarious. Brockovich rose to fame when, despite having no legal training, she helped construct a winning class action lawsuit against the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Now 52, her unlikely crusade against the utility giant was depicted in 2000 in the movie Erin Brockovich . Julia Roberts won an Emmy for the lead role.
