Moss to celebrate New Year at Depp's island

Depp will be there with his singer wife Vanessa Paradis and the four of them will be joining others for a winter escape to the "Pirates of Caribbean" star's private 45-acre island which he bought in 2004 for more than 2 million pounds. One gets there on Depp's 156ft steam-powered boat called Vajoliroja, reports thesun.Hince, who usually keeps his cards very close to his chest, let slip about the forthcoming vacation to a pal. Hanging out with Depp would be a great laugh for Hince despite the awkwardness of having dated the same woman.

Depp's holiday hobbies include painting and playing guitar. There are five beaches on the private island, which only has solar power, named after Depp's favourite people. One's called Gonzo after the style of journalism used by writer Hunter S. Thompson who Johnny famously played in the 1998 film "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas".

Another is named Paradis after his wife. Then there's Lily Rose and Jack as a tribute to his kids and Brando after Hollywood legend Marlon. "I don't think I'd ever seen any place so pure and beautiful. You can feel your pulse rate drop about 20 beats. It's instant freedom," Depp said about his island. Moss and Depp had a very intense relationship from 1994 to 1998. They lost touch but Depp got back in contact after publicly speaking out for her when she became embroiled in her cocaine scandal in 2005.
