'Piranha 3D' Star Kelly Brook Suffers Miscarriage

British actress Kelly Brook has suffered a miscarriage five months into her pregnancy, her rep has revealed. The Piranha 3D actress and model was expecting her first child, a baby girl, with beau Thom Evans.

"I can confirm that Kelly and Thom have very sadly lost their baby," her rep told The Sun. "They request that everyone please respects their privacy at this very painful time and there will be no further comment."

Brook became pregnant just five months after she began dating rugby player Evans, but the two were looking forward to becoming parents.

"We are delighted," she twittered about the baby news on March 16.

Their baby girl was due in August.

With "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" out in less than a month, some lucky guests at "The Oprah Winfrey Show" were fortunate enough to hit those strange tides before anyone else.

Leading man Johnny Depp visited Oprah on Thursday (May 5) to promote his upcoming "Pirates" film. As part of her last Harpo Hookup show, Oprah brought Depp to the show to give one big Disney surprise: All the attendees at the taping received free passes to his new movie.

"This is the fourth one," he said with a laugh, "so I can keep going."

"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" teams Depp up with Penélope Cruz on the search for the Fountain of Youth. Captain Jack Sparrow is forced to unite with old enemies and clash with new foes in order to recapture the Black Pearl and bring back his beloved crew.

Joking about his schizophrenia in going back and forth between himself and the character of Jack Sparrow, Depp said he was looking forward to Oprah's audience being the first people to see his latest transformation.

Lady Gaga was also on Thursday's "Oprah," performing a new version of her Born This Way track "You and I."

"It boils down to story, script and filmmaker," Depp told The Hollywood Reporter about the new movies. "It's not something where I would say, 'Let's shoot it next month to get it out by Christmas 2012.' We should hold off for a bit. They should be special, just like they are special to me."

Depp has been sailing into a lot of new ports in recent days thanks to a whole lot of "On Stranger Tides" promotion. A new clip following Captain Jack on a daring escape hit Yahoo! on Monday, and MTV News delivered a brand-new still of our favorite pirate sailing the high seas earlier this week.

Check out everything we've got on "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides."

Taylor Swift "Mean" Video Creates Controversy

Taylor Swift fans will be happy to learn that there's a great-looking new video for "Mean," one of the catchiest songs from the country princess's all-around catchy album, Speak Now. But not everyone thinks the video sends the right message. Watch the "Mean" video below, then read on to find out what all the fuss is about.

 

Swift clearly intends for "Mean" to be an anti-bullying anthem -- but is she sending mixed messages? In a promotional video interview for Speak Now, Swift said that song is about dealing with people who try to ruin your day: "There's always gonna be someone who's just mean to you, and all you can control is how you handle it. And this song is about how I handle it."

But the video doesn't show Swift being bullied, other than stylized shots of her tied to a train track like a silent movie heroine. Instead, she's a kind of savior to the outsider kids, who are all shallow stereotypes: the gay teen with a fashion magazine being picked on in the locker room, the waitress saving her pennies for college, the little girl eating lunch alone in the bathroom. Swift herself doesn't seem at all vulnerable -- so her smirking to the camera about how successful she is, and how much of a loser her imaginary bully is, seems a bit like gloating.

The critical response has been mixed so far. Vulture jokes that Swift is so unsympathetic in the video that it "makes us temporarily pro-bully." And Entertainment Weekly asks, "Is she really equating a professional critic questioning her ability to sing at an awards show to getting bullied because you're different?"

Don't get us wrong -- we love Taylor Swift, and it's a great song. But given the recent trend for empowering-message videos -- Pink's "Raise Your Glass" and "F-in' Perfect" videos, Katy Perry's "Firework" video, the "It Gets Better" Project, this entire season of "Glee" -- Swift's entry doesn't offer us anything we haven't seen a hundred times before. Considering her enormous talent, it would be nice to see Taylor truly go out on a limb for something she believes in.
