Celebrity Weekend Wrap Ups

When you think of Pirates of the Caribbean, you instantly imagine Johnny Depp’s savvy Captain Jack Sparrow. So can Disney executives possibly even think about making two more Pirates of the Caribbean movies – without Depp? According to MTV, Depp isn’t too enthusiastic about returning to the “Pirates” franchise after Disney studio chief Dick Cook left. While he will most likely return for the fourth installment, the fifth and sixth (yup, Disney has plans for even more pirate fun) could feature a new lead. The only question is, who could possibly replace Depp’s iconic and lovable pirate?

Those who saw – and loved – Neil Patrick Harris’s Emmy Award presentation (with his big musical number) will be excited to note that 100th episode of How I Met Your Mother will feature Harris’s character – wait for it – having a musical act! According to executive producer Craig Thomas, “there will be a huge Barney story culminating in an enormous musical number that we’re going to spend way too much of Twentieth Television’s money on.” So get ready, Neil Patrick Harris fans and don’t be surprised if he ends up stealing the show!

Look out, “Melrose Place” – Heather Locklear is back and will be sure to spur up some trouble. According to Entertainment Weekly, Locklear, a star of the original series, will be reprising her role as Amanda Woodward, a tough advertising executive. Locklear’s return could go either way: the struggling show come possibly reign in some more viewers – or this could possibly mean viewers will switch the channel and be the end of “Melrose Place.”
