Johnny Depp Is Sorry, Didn't Mean to Compare Photo Shoots to Rape
After an excerpt of his Vanity Fair interview hit yesterday in which he compared being photographed to being raped, Johnny Depp (whose Rum Diary hits screens in a few weeks) thought better of his word choice. ""I am truly sorry for offending anyone in any way. I never meant to. It was a poor choice of words on my part in an effort to explain a feeling. I understand there is no comparison and I am very regretful. In an effort to correct my lack of judgment, please accept my heartfelt apology." No worries, Johnny. It's Apology Wednesday!

I just knew he'd be apologizing for that when I read his interview. Kirsten Stewart made the same error not too long ago and had to apologize about using rape as a comparison. Neither meant any harm by it, just poor word choice. Hey, they're human.
OH MY GOD!!!! Can you say anything without apologizing for it anymore? Jesus Christ, I mean really. Its a good thing I'm not a celebrity or I would have been put in front of a firing squad by now.
When you are getting (and complaining about) $300 million for your services - it ain't rape... more like 'pay-for-play'.
So, George Lucas "violated" my childhood now?
He meant sodomy, not rape. He's sorry.
