Johnny Depp stunned sick youngsters at a London hospital on Wednesday (01Jul09) when he stopped by for a surprise visit, dressed as a pirate.

The actor has been in the city this week (beg29Jun09) to promote new movie Public Enemies, and took time out from his busy schedule to visit Great Ormond Street Hospital to cheer up young patients.

Dressed as his Pirates Of The Caribbean character Captain Jack Sparrow, he visited several wards - including the one his daughter Lily-Rose stayed in when she was treated for kidney failure in 2007.

A source tells WENN, "Johnny was so friendly with all the children on the ward and they absolutely loved his pirate outfit.

"He spoke to lots of the youngsters and staff - and made their day by posing for pictures with them all."

Generous Johnny Depp has previously donated $1.5 million to the hospital to thank them for looking after his 10-year-old daughter during her health scare.

The Game has publicly apologised to his former pal 50 Cent, bringing an end to their highly-publicised feud.

The rapper, real name Jayceon Taylor, was kicked out of the In Da Club hitmaker's G-Unit crew in 2005, resulting in a bitter rivalry between the pair.

Earlier this week (begs29Jun09), The Game revealed Michael Jackson had offered to heal the rift between the pair by acting as peacekeeper.

And the superstar's death last week (25Jun09) has inspired The Game to publicly apologise to 50 Cent, as well as his former record label Interscope - which he quit after he was kicked out of his G-Unit group.

He says, "For 50, I’m just gonna apologise to him, just as a man. It has nothing to do with music, or beef, or nothing like that. It ain’t about being the bigger man. He can take it and say, ‘Game is apologising,’ ‘Game’s a sucka, he’s apologising.’ I’m apologising for me to him, to (Dr.) Dre, to Jimmy Iovine, to Eminem, to all the fans.

"Because if you think about what Interscope was when we were gellin’, man we were it. We were an unstoppable force.”

Best pals Matt Damon and Ben Affleck went head to head in a charity poker match on Thursday night (02Jul09) as part of a fundraising event in Las Vegas.

The Oscar winners joined event host Don Cheadle and celebrities including actors Brad Garrett and Danny Masterson, and retired boxing champ Mike Tyson to help raise money for Ante Up for Africa.

The stars joined members of the public and dug deep into their pockets to join in the fun, handing over $5,000 as a buy-in for the gambling tournament, with all proceeds benefitting the ENOUGH project and Refugees International - organisations which aim to raise awareness and provide help to the survivors of war-torn Darfur in Sudan.

The results of the poker game had yet to be released as WENN went to press.

Katie Holmes is paying tribute to Judy Garland on the upcoming 100th episode of So You Think You Can Dance.

The actress has been in rehearsals for her big reality TV moment for weeks and now it's official - she'll appear on the special episode, which will air on 23 July (09).

Programme executive producer Nigel Lythgoe says, "She (Holmes) absolutely adores dancing, as does her daughter."

Reports suggest Katie Holmes, who showed off her dance skills last year (08) in drama Eli Stone, will perform a routine inspired by Garland's Get Happy song from the movie Summer Stock - and she'll don replicas of the late star's trademark jacket and hat for the sequence.

Nigel Lythgoe tells People.com, "It’s just an iconic look. And Katie Holmes has got the legs. Wow!"

The producer also reveals Katie Holmes' husband Tom Cruise and their daughter Suri have been attending rehearsals and cheering the actress on.
