Johnny Depp might be getting good at this daddy stuff, but he is not going to be a two-time father. Johnny Depp
The actor’s camp today shot down a widely circulated People magazine report that had the actor, late of the box-office-challenged “The Ninth Gate,” becoming a father again this fall.
“Not true,” the office of Tracy Shaffer, Depp‘s Los Angeles-based publicist, told Hollywood.com.
To date, the 36-year-old Depp and gal-pal Vanessa Paradis, also an actress, have one — count ’em, one — child, daughter Lily-Rose Melody born in May.
UP IN SMOKE: Woody Harrelson has been ordered to stand trial in Kentucky on a pot-possession charge stemming from a 1996 protest, per a ruling today by the state’s Supreme Court.

His publicist’s office said he was vacationing in Hawaii with his family. (Chilling, presumably.)

OUT OF DANGERFIELD? No-respect standup Rodney Dangerfield, 78, could be out of a Los Angeles hospital by the end of the week after undergoing double-bypass heart surgery Tuesday, his business manager says.

WELL, THAT CLEARS THAT UP: The Brazilian model who finally got Mick Jagger to ‘fess up to being the father of her baby boy (born in May) says she’s tired of hearing that her relationship with the aged Rolling Stone amounted to nothing more than a one-night stand. For the record, Luciana Morad tells today’s London’s Daily Express that she and the married Jagger enjoyed a seven-month illicit, morally questionable affair.
