Disneyland visitors making their way through the Pirates of the Caribbean ride on Wednesday night were treated to a surprise appearance from none other than Johnny Depp, in full costume as Captain Jack Sparrow. “He acted exactly like his character in the movies,” one eyewitness told E!, while another added, “It was a surreal moment for everyone on our boat! Best Disneyland experience our family has ever been a part of.” Depp reportedly recited lines from the film franchise, as well as interacting with visitors as he held a sword. The next Pirates of the Caribbean installment, Dead Men Tell No Tales, hits theaters on May 29.

Kim Kardashian said on Thursday that she feels her Paris robbery was “meant to happen.” “I really feel like things happen in your life to teach you things,” Kim told Ellen DeGeneres during an appearance on her show. “I was definitely materialistic before, not that there’s anything bad with having things and working hard to get those things…But I’m so happy that my kids get this me and that this is who I’m raising my kids [to be].” Kim was robbed of her cell phone and millions of dollars worth of jewelry when burglars entered the Paris apartment she was staying in on October 2, 2016.

In the wake of Pepsi’s failed attempt to tackle social issues with a commercial starring Kendall Jenner, Heineken has released a brilliant two-minute video called “Worlds Apart: An Experiment.” The clip, which Heineken says was truly unscripted, features three pairs of strangers with very opposing views working together to build an IKEA-style bar. They don’t know each other’s views at the time, but are then shown video of each other talking about polarizing issues like transgender rights, climate change and feminism. Afterward, they are given the choice whether to leave or sit down and discuss their views together over a beer. All of them choose the latter. Cheers.

Scarlett Johansson has responded to a viral picture of a woman named Geraldine–who looked a lot like the actress in her younger days–by inviting her out for drinks. “I have been inundated with emails and messages about how we look alike,” Johansson says in a video response shared this week. “I had to look at the photo myself–Holy crap!” The actress goes on to invite “Grandma Geraldine” to join her for a night on the town. “Do you want to come to see Rough Night with me? Be my guest?” Johansson continues. “We’re a bunch of partying girls, so it’s a good running theme…I’ll see you at the bar. Be there or be square.” Geraldine’s throwback picture recently went viral on Reddit after her grandchild posted it with the caption, “My Grandma Looked Like Scarlett Johansson When She Was Younger.”
