Johnny Depp Separates With Vanessa Paradis, Spends Late Nights With Marilyn Manson

This week, Johnny Depp confirmed that his 14-year romance with Vanessa Paradis, with whom he has two children, is over. While this may come as a surprise to some, they had been living separate lives for a while with the 49-year-old Hollywood icon attending events solo, spending time on his other passion, music, and catching up with pals like Marilyn Manson, who was born Brian Hugh Warner.  Manson is an American musician, artist and former music journalist known for his controversial stage performances.

During an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in May, Depp revealed he had been hanging out a lot with his "very good friend" Manson, who he met when the shock rocker was an extra on "21 Jump Street." Depp noted that Manson even performed at his son Jack's 10th birthday party!

According to People magazine, Depp has been spending late nights at the singer's Hollywood-area home.  Manson, who was rumored to be dating Lana Del Rey earlier this year, is also single.

When he's not rocking out with Manson, Depp has also been busy working. His latest Tim Burton collaboration, "Dark Shadows," came out in May, so he traveled the globe promoting that. Now his focus is on "The Lone Ranger." In the Disney flick, Depp plays Tonto and he'll be filming in locations from Colorado to New Mexico all summer, wrapping in August. When he's not filming on set, he flies back to Los Angeles to be with his children.

And because Depp has often been dubbed one of the sexiest stars in Hollywood, there are no shortage of new romance rumors. One that just won't go away is that he's dating his "The Rum Diaries" co-star Amber Heard. Various reports stated she traveled with him to promote "Dark Shadows" and was seen exiting a private plane with him in Las Vegas.

Another story stated that Depp bought Heard, 26, a horse "so they can ride together." However, the openly bisexual actress is reportedly in a long-term relationship with artist Tasya van Ree. Tabloids have also linked Depp to his "Dark Shadows" co-star Eva Green and his long time publicist Robin Baum. Again, neither report has been substantiated.

As for Vanessa Paradis, 39, the French singer and actress attended the Cabourg Festival of Romantic Cinema in Paris on June 14.  People Magazine reported that the "glum-looking" Paradis appeared "tired" and "didn't look well or happy."
