The Fix

Actor extraordinaire Johnny Depp got the best of the Kraken as pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, but in his next film he may only be “crackin'” some windows, Life ‘ Style Weekly reports. The film, a musical called “Sweeny Todd,” opens Dec. 21 and will feature the singing stylings of the Edward Scissorhands man himself. Depp commented on his vocal talent Sept. 5 at the 64th Venice Film Festival: “My singing’s not unlike the mating call of a rutting stag (horny deer),” Depp said. “It’s a strange sound.”

“Lost” actor Matthew Fox has an exhibitionist streak (apparently the already-skimpy island wear was still too much for him), Star Magazine reports. Co-star Evangeline Lily gave the magazine the scoop on Fox’s antics: “He has a really bad habit of taking his clothes off and skinny-dipping in front of the whole cast,” Lily said. “I was there the first time it happened. He was like, ‘Come on.’ All of us were like, ‘No, you’re on your own on this one, man!'” Matt, you’re welcome to streak in The Northerner office ANYTIME. (UC 203)
