Depp leaves his mark in Hollywood concrete
LOS ANGELES — The hands that were replaced with cutlery in "Edward Scissorhands" and that wore gloves in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" are now immortalized in concrete.
Johnny Depp signed his name and placed his handprints and footprints in wet concrete in front of the Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard.
"So this is weird," Depp said as hundreds of fans watched the ceremony Friday. "I mean, to say that this is overwhelming is probably the understatement of the millennium."

The sidewalk honor coincided with the release of Depp's latest film, the animated "Corpse Bride", which opened in limited release Friday. The movie expands to wide release next weekend.

salt thailand.
Stewart played Captain Nemo in "Jules Verne's Mysterious Island" He co-starred with MacLachlan, 20 years
after the actors first worked together in the sci-fi movie "Dune."
"It's always a special attraction for a project if you have someone that you're that fond of working with you," Stewart said. "Kyle and I became unlikely good friends and have remained very close over the decades."
"Mysterious Island" was filmed in Thailand, using jungle and cave locations.
"There's always an appeal to working in a place as opposed to just being a tourist." Stewart said. "You can get a different perspective on the country and the people when you're there to do a job.The country is magnificent.I'm just overwhelmed with the natural beauty."
Production wrapped just days before December's devastating tsunami and Stewart said he was "distraught to see what happened to the people and the land I came to adore."

Seth Bundy enjoys walking downtown. Street musicians playing instruments contribute to Lawrence's culture, but aggressive panhandlers offer only annoyance, he says.

Bundy and others approve of the aggressive panhandling ordinance that Lawrence city commissioners unanimously passed July 5. They say the ordinance has benefited the area, although only a couple of citations have been issued since it was enacted. Others say the ordinance has hurt the homeless community.
the commission wanted street musicians to continue to perform, while preventing pandhandlers from aggressively soliciting money. Amyx, who owns Amyx Barber Shop, 842 Massachusetts St., said ag-
The ordinance prohibits panhandlers from continually soliciting people for money and also prohibits street musicians and performers from using signs to solicit money.
"Aggressive Penhoundling" is includes one or more of the following:
Touching the solicited person without the solicited person's consent
blocking the path of travel of the person being solicited

"I don't know if it's the ordinance, but the police have stepped up foot patrol downtown," Amyx said.
u downtown, Ainjk Sgt. Dan Ward of the Lawrence Police Department said police would respond if they received a call from someone complaining about an aggressive panhandler, or if an officer witnessed the incident.
For some in the homeless community, the ordinance has made it difficult to make cash.

together. He also said that he had never

Donald Roach, 54, has lived in Lawrence for two and a half years, and in an apartment until a few months ago. Roach said the ordinance had made the homeless reluctant to panhandle.
"You don't have time to mess with the person who didn't give you money because you could be getting a couple quarters from the next person," Roach said.

that the city had no plan to educate panchandlers about the ordinance. A number of homeless people attended the July 5 meeting and care-giving organizations in Lawrence would probably provide education, he said.

tude him, he said. Schauner said the ordinance was a compromise. A few people wanted a complete ban on panhandling, while others opposed the ordinance, he said.
"It doesn't prohibit panhandling, but aggressive panhandling," Schauer said. "If I ask you for a quarter and you say 'no,' and I continue to pester you, that's aggressive panhandling."
One KU student along Massachusetts Street approved of the ordinance, but also noted that he had not been aggressively approached for money.
"If they're going to aggressively ask for money, they won't get any anyway," said Tait Ecklund, Las Vegas graduate student.
