Johnny Depp pays surprise visit to London primary school dressed as Jack Sparrow

It’s not every day a Hollywood heartthrob pitches up in your classroom.

But these Greenwich school goers left the rest of Britain’s children – if not parents – green with envy when they had a surprise visit from Johnny Depp on Wednesday.

The star is currently in south-east London filming the fourth Pirates Of The Caribbean movie On Stranger Tides and arrived at the Meridian Primary School dressed in full character as Captain Jack Sparrow.

He made the one-off trip after nine-year-old pupil Beatrice Delap wrote to the star asking for help staging a ‘mutiny’ against the teachers, as he was filming at the nearby 18th century Old Naval College.

In an interview on London Tonight after the visit, Beatrice revealed what she had written in the letter to the star – or rather his salty seadog alter ego.

She said: “Captain Jack Sparrow, At Meridian Primary School, we are a bunch of budding young pirates and we were having a bit of trouble mutiny-ing against the teachers, and we’d love if you could come and help. Beatrice Delap, aged nine, a budding pirate.”

She said that she was then asked by the star to make herself known from the assembled pupils once he arrived, and gave her a cuddle.

Beatrice marvelled: “He gave me a hug and he said, “Maybe we shouldn’t mutiny today ‘cos there are police outside monitoring me.”

The movie, which has already shot in Hawaii, Los Angeles and Puerto Rico, is due for release next summer.

RiRi enjoys Paris break with Matt Kemp

Rihanna made the most of being in the city of love Wednesday night by spending a romantic evening in Paris with her boyfriend Matt Kemp.

The Rude Boy singer, was snuggling up to the Los Angeles Dodgers player, at the Miu Miu after party in the French capital.

And the couple couldn’t keep their hands off each other at the Chateaubriand restaurant, following the designer’s Spring/Summer 2011 show during Paris Fashion Week. Rihanna and her beau sipped on champagne as they gazed into each other’s eyes at the private party.

The Bajan beauty had popped over to France from London for the climax of Paris Fashion Week, but there was no chance of the singer blending into the front row, wearing a typically flamboyant multi-coloured dress with white fur stole and ruby high heels as she attended the Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2011 show.

While Rihanna was camera-ready in her colourful ensemble, her boyfriend, baseball player Matt Kemp, kept his distance from the paparazzi. The couple were reunited in London on Tuesday after Kemp jetted over from the US following his last baseball game of the season.

Rihanna has spent this week in London promoting her upcoming album Loud, hosting a listening party at the Sketch restaurant in Mayfair for selected media and music industry insiders. She individually introduced five tracks called Cheers, California King Bed — a ballad evidently inspired by her long-distance romance with Kemp – What’s My Name, S&M and the first single from the album — Only Girl (In The World).

Freida Pinto is flirty and feminine in new photo shoot

She shot to fame as the love interest in Slumdog Millionaire and can soon be seen playing a similarly feminine character in Woody Allen’s upcoming romance You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger.

But now Freida Pinto has revealed she is desperate to play a harder type of role who ‘kicks a**’.

The 25-year-old Freida, who is dating her Slumdog Millionaire co-star Dev Patel, made the admission in the November issue of Britain’s InStyle magazine, as she posed for a flirty and feminine photo shoot modelling the season’s latest lacy looks.

She said: “I keep playing the damsel in distress. But I’d like to kick some a**!”

Since becoming famous through Danny Boyle’s multiple Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire, Freida and Dev have become one of Hollywood hottest couples.

And while they have both admitted they are enjoying their newfound celebrity status, Dev revealed recently he sometimes struggles with certain rumours that are reported – such as him and Freida getting engaged.

But despite not having any plans to walk down the aisle, Dev said he is more in love than ever with his Indian-born girlfriend.

He added: “She’s very inspiring to me and just great support. She’s a great friend and amazing.”

The full interview with Freida appears in this month’s edition of Britain’s InStyle magazine, out now.
