Johnny Depp to snub Oscars?

OHMYGOSSIP — Johnny Depp is planning to snub this year’s Oscars over rumors of his relationship problems. The Pirates of the Caribbean star is expected to present an award at next month’s ceremony but feels his appearance will only put his personal life with partner Vanessa Paradis under more scrutiny.

“Johnny feels he can’t win,” says a source close to the actor.

“If he turns up with Vanessa it just looks like they are trying to make a point of being seen together while if Johnny goes on his own it furthers the rumors. Johnny is now unlikely to go to the Oscars at all.”

Reports earlier this month claimed Depp and Paradis have been arguing constantly.

Depp, sources said, is struggling to deal with the couple’s crucial problems.

“Johnny isn’t handling anything well right now,” a source said.

“People around him are worried about how Johnny is doing because he and Vanessa seem so fractured right now. Their relationship is heading toward the end.”

“Johnny has started reaching out to lawyers, probably to quietly discuss how to get out of the relationship. They’re not married but they’ve been together for years and have kids together so it isn’t as easy as just breaking up. Johnny is so talented at acting, but he doesn’t seem able to hide how badly things are going right now.”

It’s also been claimed that Depp’s The Tourist costar, Angelina Jolie, has urged him to fix the relationship.

“They stayed in touch after The Tourist,” a source said.

“When she heard what was going on she reached out to him to see how he was coping and urged him to work it out.”
