Johnny Depp Almost Met His Fate at the Hooves of a Horse in a ‘Lone Ranger’ Stunt [VIDEO]
Since Johnny Depp has played every character under the sun -- a crazed hat-making ginger, dude with scissors for hands, serial-killer-barber, pirate, vampire, gonzo journalist, chocolate factory owner, undercover cop, cocaine dealer, cross-dressing director -- he figured he'd take a leap and play a Native American in the film version of 'The Lone Ranger.'

Blowhard billionaire Donald Trump generally uses his Twitter account to complain about the state of the world, which is why everyone was confused when he seemingly posted a “raunchy” Lil Wayne lyric from will.i.am. and Britney Spears' remix version of 'Scream & Shout' instead of announcing his latest ridiculous lawsuit.
Leonardo DiCaprio Is Just One Mansion and Some Bunny Ears Away From Being Hugh Hefner

LL Cool J, Chuck D, Travis Barker + More Close Out the 2013 Grammys [VIDEO]
Host LL Cool J closed out the 2013 Grammys with a trip down nostalgia lane with his new song 'Whaddup,' reminding us that LL isn't just an actor and a guy who overuses the word "hashtag" -- he's still a pretty badass rapper.
We have already pushed this performance into the part of our brain where his ditty about genetically mutated sharks reside.
