Johnny Depp To Earn $56 Million For Pirates 4?: That is insane, plenty of movies don’t cost that much to make. Depp making $56 million for Pirates 4, Tom Hanks making $50 million for Angels & Demons. Wow.

At the insistence of the McCain campaign, the Oct. 2 debate between the Republican nominee for vice president, Gov. Sarah Palin, and her Democratic rival, Senator Joseph R.

McCain advisers said they had been concerned that a loose format could leave Ms. Palin, a relatively inexperienced debater, at a disadvantage and largely on the defensive.
