JOHNNY DEPP IS GETTING MARRIED

Johnny Depp will finally marry Vanessa Paradis, his girlfriend for the past eight years and the mother of his two children.  They are expected to walk down the aisle sometime this summer.  The reason for the commitment now after all these years, according to the Daily Mail, is:

The couple have toyed with the idea in the past but their daughter Lily-Rose's recent illness has 'spurred them into action', according to a source. The couple's seven-year-old was hospitalized in London for nine days in March suffering from E.coli food poisoning and her condition was touch and go. The Pirates Of The Caribbean star and Vanessa, 34, kept a vigil at their daughter's bedside. Depp, 43, refused to return to the set of his latest film Sweeney Todd in London until she was out of danger, forcing filming to be stopped. The source, who lives in the village, said: "Johnny and Vanessa have one of the strongest relationships in Hollywood but after their daughter was taken ill the family became an even closer-knit unit.  They have talked about marriage on and off for a long time but the recent emotional roller-coaster they have had to endure seems to have spurred them into action."

So kids in danger = marrying that kids mom, eh?  Hmm, interesting.  I've got four words for you: Kate Beckinsale, poison brownies.  Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a date with a pretty lady and I think I might need my tux!  *wink*
