Last night on Leno, Jay accused Johnny Depp of impersonating a homeless guy. But it got even better. For his rapacious role, he had gold teeth cemented onto his own, without even being asked. It was his own idea. He had a few extra done at the time so he could bargain with the head honchos if they didn't like it and remove two of the gold ones and keep the rest. He is a very weird guy. What kind of a nut has optional dentistry?

It was after they were ready to go and waiting to go outside for the bus. The older one was rapt with attention and the little one was annoyed at the lack of cartoons.

He is a really weird guy, but a really good actor. Sadly not everyone can be James Woods, Or Mel Gibson....Or Bruce Willis...
