If you are a movie star one of the advantages of having your own yacht is being able to take a little bit of home with you as you film. Johnny Depp's luxury yacht called the Vajoliroja is currently moored in Puerto Rico as he films his latest movie.

Depp bought the yacht in 2007 and the name was formed by taking the first two letters of each of the names of the people in his family (his partner Vanessa, Johnny, daughter Lily Rose and son Jack). Before Depp owned the yacht she was known as the Anatolia and was built by Proteksan Turquoise in Turkey in 2001. The 156-foot vintage style trawler has a crew of seven and accommodations for 10 guests.

Johnny Depp's gorgeous longtime girlfriend, French model/singer/actress Vanessa Paradis, has been chosen to replace Kirsten Dunst as the face of Miuccia Prada's sporty Miu Miu diffusion line. Paradis will appear in the label's futuristic Fall/Winter ads (right) shot by sought-after fashion photog duo Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot in Los Angeles, Vogue UK reports.

"At once a deconstruction and a pure visual composition, the campaign addresses the exploration of beauty in conjunction with intellect, imagination, and divergence," a Miu Miu rep says. Paradis has previously appeared in several ads for Chanel. She and Depp have been together for 10 years and have two children. Last year my colleague Deirdre Woolard reported that Depp had bought her a vineyard near St. Tropez.

The Cannes Film Festival, which began today in the South of France, has always been more focused on artistic merit than the blockbusters of the Academy Awards; that makes for a much more interesting mise-en-scène in our view. The cool crowd has always gravitated to the Riviera for this annual cinematic happening, not to mention the chance to compete for those little gold palm fronds. Along with the Met Costume Institute Gala it's easily one of the year's most stylish events.

As Cannes enters its seventh decade, this seems like the perfect time for a slideshow of some of the most classic style moments in its vivid history, including this rouge carpet scene from 1998. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was nominated for a Palme d'Or that year and its star Johnny Depp sported a midnight blue shawl-collared dinner jacket at the premiere. Meanwhile his co-star Benicio Del Toro (right) stuck to a classic tux, while Depp's date Kate Moss looked kind of like she'd been attacked by an angry emu -- but in a hot way.

Johnny Depp is enough to make any wine-loving woman swoon. The sexy pirate is not only a knowledgeable oenophile but now he as bought his long-time girlfriend Vanessa Paradis her own vineyard. The couple already live in France but now Depp has bought a property in Plan de la Tour, a village in the Massif des Maures hills near St. Tropez. The gift was to celebrate Paradis' new album, Divinidylle. Decanter reports that the new land is close to a villa the couple share and that they have often been seen in the area. Paradis may even take part in the village's annual wine fête.

It's not known if the land is really a vineyard, though. Decanter spoke with someone from the local wine co-operative, Les Fouleurs de Saint Pons, who said that the estate bought by Depp does not contain winemaking facilities, and that it may have some vines but that they haven't received any grapes from there.

Very few celebrities have only one home -- owning multiple residences in locations around the world is key to keeping any sense of normalcy and routine in their lives. But although first homes are usually in cities like New York and LA to be close to work, where do celebrities like George Clooney, Johnny Depp, and Oprah choose to buy vacation homes? Where do they go when it's entirely up to them and they want to relax?

Well for Clooney it's a waterfront villa in Lake Como, Italy, for Depp it's a 50 acre farmhouse in France, and Oprah prefers her ocean-front ranch in Santa Monica. Where would you live? Check out this list of celebrity summer homes and see who's taste is closest to your own.

Johnny Depp may be famous for saying that he is raising his kids in France but that he still wants them to enjoy the view when they are in Los Angeles. The LA Times reports that Depp has filed a lawsuit over plans for a retail project that might impinge on the views from his Hollywood Hills home. Depp owns a $5.4 million home on Sweetzer Ave. (the same street Morrissey lived on before putting his house on the market). Depp's claim is that the city violated environmental-quality laws by approving the development on a lot beneath his home and that his his children may be deprived of their view. Those on the other side of the debate are flabbergasted since Depp has been quoted as saying that he would not raise his children in the States. Depp lives in a  Norman-style mansion known then as "The Fairy Castle."  The proposed project, across from The Standard hotel on the Sunset Strip would be about 40 feet below Depp's house but the building would block views from the sloping bottom backyard terrace where the children would play. The project is now delayed.

What does Johnny Depp drink? Decanter reveals that Depp, an enthusiastic wine consumer, has proclaimed Château Calon-Ségur as his favorite wine. In an interview in Madame Figaro he said the wine is "a marvellous wine that you can drink every day and it's also very affordable." Château Calon-Ségur is the most northern of all the classified growths of the Medoc, a Saint-Estèphe third-growth. The 2004 Château Calon-Ségur sells for around 26 euros. Depp, of course, can also afford the pricer wines and expressed his affection for Pétrus and Château Cheval-Blanc.

Johnny Depp recently sold the shirt that he wore in the movie The Libertine for $3,240 at an online auction to benefit a children's hospice but his costar John Malkovich is doing something completely different.The character actor has his own clothing line called Uncle Kimono and he is selling a shirt inspired by the movie for $280. The shirt can be made to measure in various fabrics.
