Pirates Of The Caribbean star Johnny Depp missed his home comforts while working on a new movie in the U.S. - so he arranged for a shipment of wine to be sent over from his house in France.

The actor lives full time in the south of France with his French partner Vanessa Paradis and their two children - and the couple owns a vineyard where they produce their own wine.

And Depp couldn't stand being without his beloved bottles of wine while working on new crime film Public Enemies in Illinois - so he arranged for a shipment to be sent over to the movie set for him and his fellow cast and crewmembers to enjoy.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Mirror, "Johnny's a fine wine buff and has his own vineyard. He's had 10 crates of his own wine shipped over to keep him going.

"He is very serious about his hobby and does everything himself - from selecting the grapes to working the machinery. Johnny's a connoisseur.

"It's fair to say that he's made filming a far more enjoyable experience."

Johnny Depp's publicist has been forced to speak out to quash new reports alleging the actor and his longtime partner Vanessa Paradis have married.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star was rumoured to be planning to wed Paradis at Sandra Bullock's Georgia home earlier this month, but Depp's representative shot down those claims, insisting they were false.

New rumours arose this week (ends20Jun08), alleging Depp and Paradis were to exchange nuptials in Kentucky.

But Depp's spokesperson has again had to move fast to nix those reports, telling Usmagazine.com the claims are "not true".

The representative adds: "There is no wedding."

The couple has been together for 10 years and have two children - Lily-Rose, nine, and Jack, six.

Actor Mario Lopez has blown his chances of ever landing a role in a Pirates Of The Caribbean movie, after confessing he once had sex on the Disney theme park ride that inspired the film.

The former Saved by the Bell star insists the acrobatic tryst is his proudest sexual moment, and he jokes that Disneyland bosses should honour his achievement in some way.

Lopez tells People magazine, "(It's) a long ride... It's very dark. Hopefully I'll get the raft named after me."

Actors Kevin Spacey, Kate Beckinsale and Hugh Grant helped to raise more than $4 million (GBP2 million) for cancer research, after attending a charity auction in London on Saturday.

U2 frontman Bono, Pirates of the Caribbean hunk Orlando Bloom and his model girlfriend Miranda Kerr were also in attendance at the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation Gala, which was held in the grounds of Hampton Court Palace - the former home of British royal King Henry VIII.

Philanthropist Bono made a surprise appearance on stage hailing the work of the organisation, before making way for Notting Hill star Grant to begin the auction.

And Grant showed his generous side by bidding $250,000 (GBP125,000) for a chance to have dinner with the former president of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, who founded the organisation. The money will go towards funding cancer research in the U.K. and Russia, reports People.com.

Bloom admitted he was thrilled to be a part of the event - and would have loved the chance to dine with the former Soviet leader had it not been such an expensive auction item.

He says, "It is amazing to come and support something associated with Mikhail Gorbachev because of what he did. He's going to go down in history because of the way he changed the world."
