Johnny Depp has been declared tops on the “Best Hollywood Signers” list by Autograph magazine. Will Ferrell made #1 in the “worst signers” list.

Depp currently appears with Helena Bonham Carter in Sweeney Todd: Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which is directed by Tim Burton (Carter’s husband).

Helena Bonham Carter just gave birth to a baby girl over the weekend, in London. Carter currently stars in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The film is directed by husband Tim Burton, and also stars Johnny Depp in the lead role. This is Carter and Burton’s second child.

Carter’s only other film this year is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but she’s also in the next one, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which is currently filming.

The Sweeney Todd movie, starring Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, is based on an older Stephen Sondheim opera/ play about a barber, Benjamin Barker, who returns to London after false imprisonment in Australia. Informed that the judge who sent him away took advantage of his wife, who then poisoned herself, Barker, decides to get even by shaving those responsible and then slitting their throats. (Sacha Baron Cohen also appears as a rival barber, and later as part of a meat pie.)

The movie is directed by the fun-horror master himself, Tim Burton, who convinced Depp to try singing – an important part of the role. Depp was very reluctant about his abilities at first – even scared – but his voice turned out to be not too bad. Not opera performance, but not bad.
