HOTLIST - TUESDAY JULY 5TH



CHRISTIE BRINKLEY: PO'd at July 4th Party


Christie Brinkley spent a portion of her Independence Day dealing with a drunk woman who celebrated her freedom by peeing on the model's Hampton's property.

Brinkley was hosting friends at her beachfront house to watch fireworks when the woman walked onto her property and popped a squat. The 62-year-old model wrote about the incident on Facebook in an amusing pun-filled post. She said, "I know it's Independence Day but that does not mean 'free to pee' in front of my guests and me at my fireworks gathering. Maybe the trespasser should celebrate 'Depends Day' as she apparently thinks she lives in 'The Land of the Pee.' I was forced to hose down her mess after she urinated in my yard all the while throwing things at me."

She then added, "My wish for everyone on this Fourth of July is… May you live in the Land of the Free from belligerent drunken stalkers with weak bladders and foul mouths. That's not too much to ask right?"



JOHNNY DEPP: Sells Two Paintings for $11 Mil
Going, going, gone: A 1981 three-paneled piece titled Self Portrait (pictured) by Jean-Michel Basquiat was expected to land $1.9 million. It was snapped up by New York gallery owner Bill Acquavella for $4.7 million



Sold: The second, another 1981 piece painted on the back of a door titled Pork (pictured), had an estimated price tag of $3-5 million. It sold to an anonymous phone bidder for $6.8 million at Christie's in London


Johnny Depp collected a cool $11 million yesterday (Wednesday) by selling off two pieces of his art collection.

The actor let go two Jean-Michel Basquiat paintings at Christie's auction house -- one for $4.7 million and another for $6.8 million. The money will pad his bank account ahead of what is likely to be a very costly divorce from Amber Heard. He bought the paintings in 1998 for substantially less than they sold for. Six other pieces from Depp's collection will be sold today. Depp had collected the artwork over the past 25 years.


TOP GEAR: Host Chris Evans Stepping Down

Chris Evans.

Another year and another Top Gear host is history.

In a tweet Monday, new host Chris Evans announced he was leaving the BBC motoring show and said he gave it his "best shot but sometimes that's not enough."

The announcement came on the same day it was confirmed that he was being investigated over allegations of a sexual assault from the 1990's. It also came a day after the international hit series fell to an all-time low in the ratings and amid rumors that co-host Matt LeBlanc refused to do another season if Chris was still on-board. The Friends star has denied the ultimatum.

Chris and Matt joined the show after Jeremy Clarkson was fired last year following an altercation with a producer.



SCARLETT JOHANSSON: All-Time Highest Grossing Actress




Scarlett Johansson has starred in movies that have accumulated more than three billion dollars in revenue.

That makes Scarlett the all-time highest grossing actress. Her recent roles in The Jungle Book and Captain America: Civil War pushed her ahead of Cameron Diaz (3 billion).

Scarlett is also ahead of Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence (2.3 billion) and Julia Roberts (2.7 billion) and Emma Watson (2.6 billion, primarily from Harry Potter).

However, Scarlett barely squeaks into the Top 10 of highest grossing actors. 

The first nine positions belong to a bunch of old men, including Harrison Ford (4.8 billion dollars), Samuel L. Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks and Robert Downey Jr.
