The picture at left shows Johnny Depp, with bodyguard Jerry Judge behind him, emerging from Da Silvano restaurant in New York City on Saturday night, June 27th. According to the New York Post, Johnny’s dinner companions were Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Famer Patti Smith and four (unnamed) friends. The Italian restaurant must have wonderful cuisine–Johnny also had dinner there after his appearance with David Letterman on The Late Show on Thursday night.

Johnny is scheduled to be in London on Monday, June 29th, for the premiere of Public Enemies at the Empire on Leicester Square. But a widely-circulating internet story that claims he was in Glastonbury on Friday, playing guitar in a cafe (yeah–right), are 100% tabloid fiction–he was still in New York at the time.
