Johnny Depp close to deal for fifth 'Pirates' movie.




Johnny Depp is close to a deal to star in a fifth "Pirates of the Caribbean " movie. In May, producer Jerry Bruckheimer said he was working on a fifth Pirates script -- and that he wouldn't make the movie without Depp.Hopefully, if this one does well, (Depp) will want to come back and play the character again, Bruckheimer told the.  But it's going to depend on the screenplay. It always does. He's maniacal about not wanting to disappoint his audience.

Depp stars as the kohl-eyed, swashbuckling pirate, Capt. Jack Sparrow, in Disney's wildly successful franchise. The first four installments have grossed a total of $3.7 billion.Depp is key to the franchise's success: Without Capt. Sparrow there's no Pirates.

Prosecutor says it has Strauss-Kahn rape complaint.





 It had received a criminal complaint accusing Dominique Strauss-Kahn of attempting to rape a young writer eight years ago, the Paris prosecutor's office said Wednesday.The official receipt of the complaint by novelist Tristane Banon says Strauss-Kahn tried to rape her in an empty apartment during an interview for a book project, struggling with her on the floor as he tried to tear off her clothes. His lawyers describe the account as "imaginary" and say they plan to file a complaint accusing Banon of slander.Banon's complaint faces a series of difficult tests in the French justice system and could be dismissed long before reaching trial. Prosecutors must decide first if her allegations would support a charge of attempted rape rather than the less serious crime of sexual aggression, an attack that does not involve an attempt to penetrate the victim.

Chile rally against Mexico.



The Copa America finally caught fire Monday as Chile came from behind to edge Mexico and take command of Group C, where fancied Uruguay were held by Peru.Four draws in five matches, an average of barely a goal per game and sub-zero temperatures had left fans less than impressed and questioning if they would see anything approaching samba-style football from anybody over the coming month, Brazil included.Chile answered the question emphatically enough - though Arturo Vidal's winner against the Mexicans, a towering header from a corner, had a rather Anglo-Saxon, rather than latino, hallmark to it.

Peru hold Uruguay


The Copa America saw its fourth draw in only five games on Monday as Uruguay and Peru parted 1-1 in Group C.Uruguay, having reached the World Cup semifinals last year with Diego Forlan voted player of the tournament, pressed hard in the opening period but they were shocked when Peru took the lead through the constantly dangerous Paolo Guerrero.The Hamburg striker netted in the 23rd minute when he took advantage of some slack defending by the "Charruas," rounded keeper Fernando Muslera and finished off by shooting home.But despite an attacking trident of Luis Suarez, Forlan and Edinson Cavani they were caught on the back foot by Peru's bright start.It was Liverpool's Suarez who put the celeste back on terms in the dying moments of the first half when he slid home a neat low finish after a fine through ball by Nicolas Lodeiro.But Peru, who endured a disastrous World Cup qualifying campaign, stuck to their task and in the second half they could have had further goals at the Estadio Del Bicentenario in San Juan as they thrilled their contingent in the 25,000 crowd who endured the freezing wintry conditions.
