KEITH RICHARDS

While Keith Richards isn't normally TGB material, this new item caught my eye. According to Rolling Stone magazine, Keith Richards has joined the cast of Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Treasures of the Lost Abyss. Upon further investigation, the same news was found on the Killer Movies website. Yet, browsing through Keith Richards' website, no items were found announcing his addition to the cast. The movie's star, Johnny Depp, has reportedly claimed that his character, Captain Jack Sparrow, was based on Keith. I'm sure this is one will hear more about before filming begins in February, 2005.

P.S.: After checking the Jerry Bruckheimer site, nothing has been reported on this cast addition. Yahoo Movies is reporting that there are rumors circulating in the British press that Richards has been added to the cast of Pirates 2, but added that these should only be considered "rumors."
