Depp will get $35M to be Jack Sparrow again

In case you were wondering whether Johnny Depp would actually return for a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean flick, he's got plenty of reasons to do so. Like, say, 35 million of them. The U.K.'s Sun says the actor — who has repeatedly said he would love to reprise his role as Capt. Jack Sparrow — has signed a $35 million deal to star in the previously announced film, On Stranger Tides. That would make him Hollywood's highest-paid actor, by the way. Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom won't be back, but Geoffrey Rush will, and Penelope Cruz may play the female lead. "The movie will feature flashbacks to Jack's early life," a source said, hinting at the story.

Johnston doesn't show Playgirl everything

Sorry to disappoint all five of you Levi Johnston fans, but he doesn't go full-frontal in his nude photo shoot for Playgirl. "Although Playgirl is ecstatic with the footage of the Levi Johnston shoot, and viewers are going to be pleased and surprised, Levi did not go completely full frontal, as was suggested by his camp a few weeks ago," magazine rep Daniel Nardicio tells Us. "Levi looks great in the shoot and was a consummate professional, and we look forward to releasing the photos very soon."

Suspect in Cindy Crawford extortion case surrenders

The man charged with trying to extort $100,000 from Cindy Crawford and her husband, Rande Gerber, over an inappropriate photo of her daughter has surrendered to police in Germany, the Associated Press reports. He must have realized that trying to get money for a borderline bondage photo of a child probably wasn't too bright in hindsight. Edis Kayalar, 26, walked into a Nuertingen police station to face one count of extortion, which could land him in prison for two years. Still no word on anything that might happen to Crawford's nanny, from whom Kayalar got the photo after the nanny took a shot of Cindy's 7-year-old daughter bound and gagged for a "cops and robbers" game.

Model Adriana Lima is a new mama

Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima gave birth to a daughter on Sunday, MSN reports, officially giving us another entry in the Hot Celebrity Baby Sweepstakes. Well, husband Marko Jaric is a little cross-eyed, but the Memphis Grizzlies guard is still a pro athlete. "Adriana and Marko are thrilled to announce they had a baby girl, Valentina Lima Jaric," a rep said. "Mother, father and baby are all doing well." Even Victoria's Secret got in on the congratulations: "All of us at Victoria's Secret are thrilled to welcome Adriana's own little angel," chief marketing officer Ed Razek said. Does this mean Vicki's will finally be resurrecting its maternity line? There seems to be a market for it suddenly.
