Johnny Depp might have to brush up on the basics of time and space travel. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor has reportedly been tapped to play The Doctor in a big-screen adaptation of the long-running British sci-fi series Doctor Who.

According to sources, the movie is being written by former Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies, and is slated for release in 2012. Davies and series producer Julie Gardner left the BBC show in 2008 for Los Angeles, and Davies has since revealed that one of the reasons for the relocation was the possibility of bringing Doctor Who to the big screen:

“Bringing the Who franchise to the theaters is a regeneration for the character beyond the usual one. A theatrical release has a greater range and can reach millions of more people than just the fans. There will be brand new concepts and the film will be just as adventurous, scary and humorous as the television programme. But none of us working the film will forget what makes the character great and interesting and the long-time fans will not be disappointed because yes, the [extraterrestrial] Daleks make an appearance.”

If Depp is really making an appearance as well, they just might have a hit on their hands.

Now that Larry King has announced that his show, Larry King Live, will end after a 25 year run, everyone is buzzing about who is going to replace the interview king.

One name that is getting floated around? Well, we just hope that Elisabeth Hasselbeck isn’t reading this: CNN is reportedly talking to The View’s Joy Behar to take over Larry King’s time slot.

Joy already has a show on a CNN-linked network, HLN, and the show has been preforming fairly well. However, Larry isn’t pleased with the pick and is publicly throwing his support behind Ryan Seacrest.

No offense to Ryan but doesn’t he already have, um, 14 hosting jobs? The guy’s schedule is already pretty packed.

After playing Dunder Mifflin regional manager Michael Scott for the last six years, Steve Carell will not be returning to “The Office” after his contract expires next season. According to People Magazine:

“I just think it’s time,” he said at the premiere of his new movie, Despicable Me, Sunday in L.A. “When I first signed on I had a contract for seven seasons, and this coming year is my seventh. I just thought it was time for my character to go.”

“[This might] add some new life and some new energy to the show. [The writers] have incorporated so many new characters and so many new, great storylines that I have no doubt it’ll continue as strong, if not stronger than ever.”

I can’t imagine the Scranton branch dynamic without Steve Carell. It just seems wrong. But like Michael Scott said, “There comes a time when the Daddy cannot take a bath with the kids anymore, as much as he might want to.” I’m sure this was really hard on everyone. *sniff* That’s what she said!

Harry Potter beauty Emma Watson has a new love in her life and she’s not being shy about it!

The actress met boyfriend George Craig during her Burberry photoshoot last summer and stepped out for the first time with Craig as a couple at this weekend’s Glastonbury Music Festival.

Watson is also the star of George’s band One Night Only’s new music video for “Say You Don’t Want It.” Cute! Check out the video below:

After shooting down rumors that she got engaged for a second time while in Hawaii, new reports are coming in that Megan Fox and longtime boyfriend Brian Austin Green actually got married while vacationing earlier this month.

Megan and Brian have been dating since 2004 and became engaged in 2007. The pair reportedly called off their engagement in 2009 and then got re-engaged earlier this month, although Megan denies these claims.

Ever find yourself looking for a stylish yet comfortable way to get around? Who are we kidding, who doesn’t?

Everyone’s favorite Victoria’s Secret loungewear line PINK is gearing up for the launch of an all new collection set to be available in stores and online this fall. The expanded line will include new styles, graphics and colors inspired by the use of fleece on the fall runways.

While Lindsay Lohan’s acting career may have lost its shine in recent years, her hot pants are as shiny as ever.

Linds was spotted looking biker chic as she went to pick up some over-the-counter medications at a Rite Aid in Los Angeles. Along with her sequined hot pants the 23-year-old actress wore a vintage Harley Davidson t-shirt, a slouchy cardigan and knee-high leather boots to cover up her SCRAM bracelet. It looks like sobriety is agreeing with her!

Lindsay is probably all smiles because she is expected to get her SCRAM anklet removed within the next week. No more hot leather boots during the summer months.

The Black-Eyed Peas are about to lose their only black-eyed pants pee-er, because Fergie is rumored to be leaving the band after clashing with Will.I.Am. According to Radar Online:

Fergie is saying she wants out of the band,” the source said. “Things have gotten really bad with Will.i.Am. And it’s not just Fergie who is clashing with him. So is the rest of the band. His ego is out of control.

Fergie has kept the news so secret that very few people know and she is not ready to make the announcement right now.

I don’t know if she’ll admit or deny it when it leaks out, but I do know that it’s 100 percent true, she’s got everything planned out and she says she can’t be convinced to change her mind. And she really wants a baby with Josh,” the source said, referring to Fergie’s husband Josh Duhamel. “Between that and the bad blood with Will, it looks like the 2011 tour is in big trouble and she’s saying she’s going to split for good.

I don’t think Fergie’s really thought this through. Misguided meth-faced singers with no discernible talent are a dime a dozen these days. Perhaps you’ve seen audition week on “American Idol.”

Perhaps Kristen Stewart is looking to test out the ‘do blondes really have more fun?’ theory because the girl has gone and colored that helmet atop her head blonde. We must say, she’s looking pretty good. Bright eyed and fresh faced.

It looks like the talented Coppola clan keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Director Sofia Coppola (daughter of director Francis Ford Coppola) and husband Thomas Mars recently welcomed their second child, Cosima.

Lil’ Cosima, who was reportedly born in New York City, will join her big sister Romy, who is 3.

Sofia and Thomas have been dating since 2005 and divide their time between Paris, France and the States.
