Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp pillaged the most money for theaters in 2007, in a survey of movie exhibitors.

Depp star of "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" and "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" has nabbed the No. 1 spot for the second year in a row in an annual survey by Quigley Publishing Co.

The survey, conducted every year since 1932, asks movie exhibitors to vote for the 10 stars who generated the most box-office revenue for their theaters.

Will Smith, now starring in "I Am Legend," placed second on the list, followed by George Clooney, Matt Damon, Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, Will Ferrell and Tom Hanks.

LA District Atty. Won't Prosecute Bloom

The Bloom isn't off the road.

Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles District Attorney's office, said Friday it will not prosecute Orlando Bloom, who was involved in a minor car accident earlier this month. Robison said there is "insufficient evidence."

The 30-year-old actor told police he was being chased by paparazzi as he left a nightclub in the early morning hours of Oct. 12. When one photographer made a sudden lane change, Bloom swerved into some parked cars, injuring two passengers in his vehicle.

Bloom, star of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies, wasn't injured. There was no evidence of alcohol or drug use.

Bloom's publicist, Robin Baum, didn't immediately respond to an e-mail message seeking comment.
