Is Vanessa Paradis fooling around with some dude & is Johnny Depp jealous?

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis are pretty much done. Allegedly. Johnny has been acting like a single dude, partying, working and living it up, and he’s even rumored to have boned one of the Olsen girls too. Basically, Johnny believes that he’s single. Still, Vanessa is occasionally spotted in LA, where I assume she flies in with the kids so Johnny can have time with them too. Maybe this is the modern relationship – not together, but still very much connected, still caring about one another, but still screwing around. Anyway, Star Magazine reports that Johnny might be one of those “I can’t believe she’s spending time with a dude when I’m hooking up with randoms – how dare she!” kind of men. Yes, Johnny is suspicious of Vanessa’s relationship with a French musician named Benjamin Biolay. This is Biolay:

Suspicious. I hate when men purse their lips like that. So unattractive. Here’s his Wiki – he used to be married to of Chiara Mastroianni (daughter of Catherine Deneuve)! Still, I’m sure someone out there will be all “He’s hot, go Vanessa!” As well they should – I hope Vanessa moves on to someone effortlessly cool and hot. And I hope Johnny just has to eat it.

While Johnny Depp is away, his fed-up longtime partner, Vanessa Paradis, will play. Johnny and Vanessa have not officially announced their split, but Vanessa was spotted sharing an intimate meal in Paris with musician Benjamin Biolay on April 4. And Johnny – who has been boozing a lot and otherwise acting out in Hollywood lately with pals like Marilyn Manson – is devastated by the new relationship, an insider tells Star.

Vanessa and Benjamin, both 39, “are good friends, and she thinks he could be a great writing partner,” the insider explains. “But Johnny isn’t sure what’s going on between them, and he certainly does not like the amount of time she’s spending with Benjamin. He thinks it’s the final sign that Vanessa is over him. She’s stopped talking about them getting back together, when before she mentioned it every time they talked.”

But Johnny is only making things worse for himself with his tortured response from afar, says the insider. “This kind of bad behavior is the reason she left him. It’s not going to win her back.”

Well… most people think that Johnny was the one to leave Vanessa, not the other way around. But I’d be willing to say that it was mutual, that Vanessa was fed up with Depp’s mid-life crisis, and that she thought he’d come back to her when he got it out of his system. By the way, I’d still like to know if Depp and Eva Green really had a thing, and if that thing is still on-going. I think they definitely had an affair. But I’m not sure if it’s still happening.

    That guy has chuck bass face – always smelling something.

    • Amy says:

      You just solved the mystery for me as to why I think the guy who plays Chuck Bass has a weird face! He always looks like he is smelling something rotten! Thanks for clearing it up!

  2. Eve says:

    Paradis’s teeth gap has become larger. Chill, natural teeth police! I don’t think she should wear braces to close the gap completely, just to make them not so far apart (I can see the gum hanging from betwen her teeth!).

    • Dorothy#1 says:

      Agreed!!!

    • Agnes says:

      i’m all about not-natural teeth (teeth that were formed by braces). stuff like that hug gap is so distracting and not very aesthetic.

      • endoplasmic_ridiculum says:

        Agreed! Teeth will become misaligned with age – so imagine starting out with a massive gap. It’s now at the point where it may be hard for her front teeth to perform their intended function of biting into stuff without defaulting.

        When inefficency sets in – then it’s OK to remedy a natural situation through unnatural means.

        When you can’t bite an apple without wedging a chunk in for a later snack – it’s time to admit defeat teeth!

      • Dinah says:

        Oh, god, pop a couple veneers on already.

      • daisydoodle says:

        Please if your child had a gap like that, you would fix it…the gap is so distracting, I can’t help but stare at her teeth, even though she’s a beautiful woman. To quote Austin Powers…”there’s been major advancement in dentistry lately….”

    • Imitation Crab says:

      I also agree. I’m just glad she had them cleaned! Or at least it looks that way. They were seriously smoke stained and funky times two.

      • gg says:

        They do look way better. I’m of the 1/4-inch rule. If the gap is wider than 1/4 inch, or if they look like two loosey goosey saloon doors not hanging on four hinges, they will be distracting.

        Anyway, she sure looks happy now, so go girl.

    • AnnaLeigh says:

      I love the gap! She is beautiful.

      • akua says:

        Thank you! I know this is celebitchy, but give it a rest already. If she’s comfortable, give it a rest already

  3. Dap says:

    She surely likes dirty men (and don’t get me wrong: by dirty, I just mean people who don’t bathe ;-D)

  4. henderswife says:

    I’m sorry I called you a gap-toothed bitch. It’s not your fault you’re so gap-toothed.

  5. Cathy says:

    He’s handsome, I wouldn’t throw him outta bed till I was done with him. She should go for it, if only to let the douche bag know that she can move on to.

  6. lafairy says:

    You have to see him in motion, because he is really hot,he is really charming has a deep and smooth voice, has some quirk and is smart and funny, he has a crooner vibe, he is very very cool women drool over him in France ( even 3 years ago there were rumors that Carla Sarkozy was planing to run away with him!lol!), and he has a killer look, the one that makes you melt inside deep but tender, you should totally see him in motion and interviews, he has the kind of hotness that don’t lie in his features, and he has a sexy sexy voice… 😉

    I think with Vanessa they could make an awesome couple, they are both very cool and laid-back.

    As for The Eva Green rumors, Eva had oficially denied them in France (plus she has said in an interview not so long, that she is very much into men her own age, not younger, not older, just about her age)

    • carrie says:

      Biolay is approached about being the next producer of Paradis’next album

    • Sarah says:

      Actually Eva’s last boyfriend was much older than her. Up till late last year she had no problem stating she was “single.” She usually will talk of a boyfriend if she has one. But, I have no idea what the real situation is.

      I don’t understand why everyone is accusing Johnny Depp of having a mid-life crisis. The man has been playing guitar with different friends/bands for years. He has also known Marilyn Manson since 21 Jump Street days. Manson was his invited guest years ago to a Pirates Premiere. He loves music and to accuse him of a mid life crisis because you are seeing more pictures of what he has done all his life is silly.

      Depp isn’t doing anything different and until Depp’s PR states officially he is no longer with Vanessa Paradis then you can’t assume to know his official status.

      • lafairy says:

        Well I didn’t know her former boyfriend was older than her. how odd! Why did she said that then? She said she is naturally attracted to her own age bracket and believe that being the same age puts a natural dynamic and sharing same interests and goals into a couple. Maybe it was a way to dismiss the Johnny rumors or maybe she was giving a dig to her ex. That’s really odd!

  7. Aria says:

    Oh dear! that gap between her teeth! Anyway, I never bought the “romance” between Johnny and Eva. She can do so much better.

  8. Dorothy#1 says:

    I think he is hot!! Johnny has lost my love in the last few years.

  9. carrie says:

    Benjamin Biolay may be the future producer of Vanessa Paradis’s next album

    i don’t know how Depp/Paradis relation is actually but they saw together Tim Burton’s exposition at Paris recently

  10. biteme says:

    ” i hope johnny just has to eat it” i read that all wrong!!!! lmao thank god its friday

  11. Maya says:

    She really needs to fix her teeth.

  12. Mitzie Martin says:

    Her cleavage looks like shiny pecks 🙁 and her teeth look like a burgalar’s tool kit.

  13. endoplasmic_ridiculum says:

    Dang. These mid-life losers.

    When I see a guy in his 60’s who’s managed to navigate through the mess known as the “Mid Life Crisis” without succumbing to some siren or breaking up his family home – I rejoice. I seriously rejoice when I see some chilled out 60 year old who made it through – domestic life intact – chilling in his back garden with wifey fixing him a scotch n’ soda, quietly laughing to himself while his teenage kids tell him he’s Lame-O…
    THAT IS SUCCESS TO ME.

    I’m so disillusioned by Johnny. I wrongly invested more depth in him than he seems to have.

    i really though Johnny would be able to “MIND OVER MATTER” himself out of a mid-life crisis.

    Guess I was wrong. That mid-life crisis must be a serious mental disposition cause it seems guys of that age are ditching their wives and familial homes left, right and centre.

    Holy moly. Like get a prescription for Xanax and sail through the twitches and urges already – stop breaking your homes apart.

    If I have to take estrogen when I’m 50, you male mofos need to start popping something too.

    • Kara Ann says:

      Loved your post and agree with it absolutely!
      The thing is desperation in most forms is unattractive. These older men that break up their families just look so desperate to me.

    • RdyfrmycloseupmrDvlle says:

      to the enth degree…….!

    • Raven says:

      Loved your post–and you are so right. Depp better wake up. Even his buddy Keith Richards managed to keep his marriage together through his craziness and his wife’s cancer.

  14. Eve says:

    Forgot to say: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her dress (bottom picture). I want it, someone please give it to me — it can be second-hand*, I don’t mind that.

    *you can knock Paradis down or you can raid her closet and steal the dress for me, I mean.

    • taylor says:

      Eve, if you get the dress, can I borrow it? The dress was what struck me most from this article, too. It’s beautiful and interesting and fits her really well.

      • Eve says:

        It’s gorgeous, isn’t it? It wasn’t the first time I noticed it (I had already seen it in an article here on Celebitchy not long ago).

        To answer your question: maybe. Better put: it could be a rental, non? That way we could sign a contract and you’d be forced to be extra careful while wearing it (yes, I’m kinda selfish).

    • lafairy says:

      It’s Chanel!

  15. Jenna says:

    Am I the only one that thinks Johnny’s Mad Hatter character in Alice in Wonderland looks like Vanessa in that first pic of her? o_O

  16. TG says:

    I am glad others agree with me too. I am not fond of gaps and find it distracting and makes her look fug. I love the Brits and the French but can’t get over their acceptance of bad teeth. I like a nice straight set of teeth but don’t mind if they aren’t perfect horse teeth. Keira Knightly looks cute with her teeth, but at least there isn’t a 4″ gap in there. Yuck. So fug.

  17. Scribe85 says:

    I remember seeing a clip of her in which Paradis talked about how much in love with Depp she was. This website I believe. So sorry to see the magic didn’t last.

  18. Siren6 says:

    Benjamin Biolay is a ridiculously sexy singer, super talented producer. At this point I’d call it an upgrade (sorry Johnny!).

  19. GHJackie says:

    I doubt Johnny was the one who left, at least not voluntarily. She’s out living her life, looking well, he’s out getting stinking drunk, hanging with Manson and looking miserable.

  20. Stubbylove says:

    I can see why she smiles with her mouth closed during photo ops – wowza.

  21. Loralei says:

    I just think the guy looks too slick. There’s something sleazy about him. I’m all for Vanessa moving in , but I don’t trust that guy. As for Depp, the final straw was the Olson twin. The Olson twin! How could he go so low?

  22. bns says:

    Johnny needs to pull his head out of his ass.

  23. Yeipi says:

    BS!!

    Biolay is working with Vanessa on her new album! Vanessa is living in LA. She was “visiting” france for her work and for spring break of their children…

    And Johnny looks really good right now, really healthy and happy…I can’t see all the “crisis” that media are trying to make us believe

    And yeah! Eva has denied the rumours in public saying that she and her boyfriend find it FUNNY!

    • tega says:

      Thank you so much for posting this. They are very private people and I’m sure it is very hard to keep the media out of their business. There is an article in People magazine that Vanessa was backstage at the Marilyn Manson concert. I believe they are still together. From what I have seen and read through interview Johnny worships her and his family and I have faith he would do anything to keep them together.

  24. Meh says:

    Lainey Gossip has said that Johnny and Vanessa are spending a lot of time together…Johnny returns to LA every weekend (he’s working in New Mexico for The Lone Ranger) and Vanessa still flies on his private service, etc, etc

    • blasted1 says:

      I read that she’s still using his plane, home(s), etc. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit that he comes to see his children, and vice versa, on week-ends and that he is being amicable with Miss Paradis. 12-13 years & 2 kids is a long time and a life long connection. Having said all that, until Johnny’s people come out and say something, anything to contradict People Magazine and Inside Edition, I’m going with the he left her version. People change and move on to other people, not matter what age they are. Johnny looks happier than he has in a long time. This fairy tale junk is just that…junk. I don’t this he’s one bit jealous of her seeing other guys. He will probably let her keep on using his plane and houses until she moves onto some other guy. Kind of an alimony thing; but really palimony, since they were never married, you know?

  25. velourazure says:

    “he has a crooner vibe” more like a pedophile vibe. he looks seriously creepy to me.

    • Celestine says:

      Agreed. If Johnny’s upset, it’s probably because he doesn’t want that ugly sleazeball around his kids. Definitely a DOWNGRADE from Depp, but the best Paradis can do.

      • lafairy says:

        Hardly the best she can do!! The best she can do and well she did it is Lenny Kravitz and hands down!
        Before Johnny Depp she was in very committed relaationship with Lenny Kravitz that lasted for years, actually since her Lenny Kravitz wasn’t in any other committed relationship (and he actually said in a recent interview that to him she is the perfect woman he regrets deeply that he was facing his “demons” at that time, because she was just perectt; imagine Lenny F***g Kravitz saying that about a woman!)so when she went for Johnny Depp in my eyes he was a downgrade for what she already had.
        This girl has game, incredible and irresistible game, if it is over with Johnny she will find another hot desirable man that we will envy her again. mark my words!

  26. Reba says:

    Vanessa is the definiton of Ugly, rotten teeth, sunken cheeks, yuck!

  27. Kosmos says:

    I really like Vanessa. I hope she finds love and happiness with someone else BUT….I hope this is a guy without big issues, that’s all. She deserves someone grounded and who will be the right fit. Good luck, Vanessa.

  28. k says:

    Dude, you’re not Rango. Get a stylist.

  29. lala land says:

    Weather they are done or not. They will play happy until he’s done promoting.

  30. Smothers says:

    Read the headline and my first thought was “Hope the ‘dude’ is a dentist!”

    And then remembered that I need to pick up some sweatshirts for the kids at the Gap.

  31. Celestine says:

    They separated for about 2 years, maybe because of his drinking, during which Vanessa stayed in their new mansion with the kids, had unlimited use of Johnny’s money, private jet and everything else, and continued to bask in the light of his worldwide fame while pretending to be a couple. Meanwhile, he has to set himself up alone somewhere else, away from the kids he loves, although he supports everything and works his ass off. He finally gets fed up with this arrangement, perhaps found someone else, and tells VP at the end of 2011 that it’s over. Remember the pics of VP and their daughter at the grove, where VP looks so angry? Why would she look like that if she dumped him? And she refused to acknowledge the separation after that in France. So it’s obvious it was his doing. And I can’t imagine why he’d want to go back to her, other than the pull of familiarity vs the stress of uncertainty. He’s the one who can do better. But I hope for his own sake and his kids’ that he embraces a healthier lifestyle.

    • RdyfrmycloseupmrDvlle says:

      No offence but your seriously misinformed. I live in France part time. Vanessa Paradis is like the Britney Spears of France…she has money to burn and totally doesnt “need” Johnny for anything. As for “using Johnnys money” they have been togther long enough that they are common law man and wife, its BOTh their money after 7 years. She gave the man two kids, I THINK shes entitled. LOL Johnny has been a hopeless alcoholic and drug user for years…she probably told him to get his act together, he didnt want to…he sowed the wind so reap the storm. He knows better but he chose what he wanted. But, my point is, Vanessa didnt need anything for him but to be a man and act like a Dad, he couldnt hack it. very sad.

      • divorcee says:

        The highest Vanessa ever made for a film reportly was $500,000 in 2005,and in 2010 $300,000 plus $1 million in film gross. Now if we compare that to what Johnny make or how much Britney Spears make it really is not that much to brag about.

    • lafairy says:

      Totally delusional! She is super duper loaded herself, she is a very very sucessful singer, an in-demand actress in France and one of the faces of Chanel(actually the longest contract Chanel has ever have in its history since its a 17 years contract now!) and as the other poster said she is like madonna or Britney Spears in France, her concerts are huge and do tons of money. All you have said don’t make any sense, she is not a goldigger or a desperate housewife, she is super rich and very respected artist, so your rant is purely fictional. I think he is trying to re-vive his wild twenties, and she is beginning to run off patience whle he tought she will wait for ever, well she is not the type when she is done it’s done… Just ask Lenny Kravitz!She is very sweet but very strong.

      • crtb says:

        Good for her! I am happy to hear that she is sucessuful without her depending on her man however I don’t find her attractive and think she needs to have her teeth fixed. Then her outside would match the inside.

      • divorcee says:

        I thought she might of did a JLo and broke up with Lenny Kravitz because she was caught with 3 grams of hash in Montreal. She must be the best the French could do. And you can not compare Britney or Madonna to her since they are both famous worldwide and not just Europe.

    • guest1 says:

      Ummmm…maybe you didn’t see the pictures of the family on the yacht last summer with the two of them hugging and kissing???? If she was mad at the Grove it was probably b/c the paparazzi where photographing her daughter (you can see how she was trying to protect her) which they hate. She was obviouisly just being a protective mother.

  32. Amy says:

    I’ve loved Vanessa since The Girl on the Bridge, but….

    Biolay downgraded a little. Chiara Mastroianni is pretty much perfect. Effortlessly beautiful and sophisticated.

  33. Ally says:

    It’s hard to tell looking at him, but Biolay is quite the compulsive ladies’ man among the Paris acting/singing élite. He’s a very successful singer-songwriter (he writes for many other singers, too).

    He speaks the way he looks, too — all muffled and into his chin. But then Vanessa’s squeaky voice is quite something, too.

  34. ZenB!tch says:

    Geesh the French do not age well!

    He looks like the gay(er) Tom Cruise. This big giant head over this teeny little body!

  35. Youknownothing says:

    According to “People Magazine” (print edition (April 30, 2012) Vanessa was spotted with Johnny at the backstage of the “Revolver Golden Gods Awards Show”(when Johnny accompanied Marilyn Manson on stage. on April 11 in L.A.)

    • divorcee says:

      Yeah, but people claim that their is still a strain in the relationship. I am beginning to think that the split rumors is just to help their careers.

  36. hopperlea says:

    Depp has lost his appeal with me in the last few years or so. Desperate mid-life men are very unattractive.

  37. Does anyone else see Benicio Del Toro (lite) when they look at Biolay?

    • Amy says:

      I can see that.

      And I’m pretty sure Benicio del Toro referred to Chiara Mastroianni as the one that got away…or something to that effect.

      She married Biolay a year or so after she and del Toro ended their affair. INTERESTING.

  38. LovenWorth says:

    I never saw what Johnny Depp physically saw in her, she very unattractive. JMO

  39. BlackSwan777 says:

    Is it me or do the olsen twins seem like the go to girls every time a famous actor breaks up with his wife. Just call them the rebound twins instead.

  40. Claire78 says:

    I have a total soft spot for her. She scrubs up beautifully. If they have split it doesn’t look completely nasty – something alot of people could learn from. Hope they haven’t – but it doesn’t look promising.

  41. charlotte says:

    She also has income from her music career and her contracts with Chanel. I think she makes decent money. Before her relationship with Johnny Depp people never insinuated she was a gold digger or had relationships for money. It’s sad people assume that about her. She was taking care of herself before he came along.

    If they aren’t together maybe it’s mutual. People change. I don’t think it has to be anyone’s fault. That’s just life.

    I think her relationship with Benjamin is just work.

  42. Lilah says:

    Johnny Depp truly has left French house, he has signed over it for Vanessa and kids. His friend told Adam Helliker that they are really finished.

    http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/315902/Johnny-Depp-moves-out-farmhouse-he-shared-with-Vanessa-Paradis

    • tega says:

      Johnny’s ture friends wouldn’t be saying anyting to anybody. This rumor is from an “insider” which basically means nobody. A made up lie to sell a story for money.

  43. Michelle says:

    She was in the audience at Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp’s concert earlier this week. There’s a video on one of the message boards. She also said in an interview that their break up was one of many rumors. Doubt she would lie about that.

  44. Jane says:

    Not many people know this but Vanessa Paradis was living with her boyfriend, actor STANISLAS MERHER, when she suddenly dumped him for Johnny Depp. She had been living with him in 1997 and 1998, so I think she is maybe now getting the taste of her own medicine, ie, KARMA for being such a two-timer herself. If you google her name and Stanislas you will see photos of them walking their dog arm in arm. In other words, SHE’S NO SAINT. Oh and just because she CHOSE to get pregnant within two months of dating Johnny Depp who was on a break from Kate Moss, his live-in girlfriend of 4 years, the one who inspired him to say that he only really found out what love was when he reached 30, which is the age he was when he met Kate. So Vanessa was a kind of rebound or affair before he was to return to Kate, and maybe that’s why Vanessa got pregnant so quickly, after only knowing him for 2 months. When Kate found out, she had a nervous breakdown and was suicidal, she had to be taken to the Priory and I think her life spiralled out of control from that moment. What Johnny did to her really sucked. And what Vanessa did to Kate and Johnny even moreso. Who was to say that after a few months Johnny would have chosen to return to Kate? Vanessa took that out of his hands by getting pregnant. Stanislas Merher must have also been heartbroken. In other words, just because she got pregnant etc, didn’t mean she was the one’. Now that the kids are older, the cracks are starting to show, and that’s both their fault. I can’t see this kind of relationship lasting. The end is in the beginning, as they say.

  45. Jane says:

    I forgot to say, I love Benjamin Biolay’s music. However, I don’t believe Vanessa is his type. She wished.
