On French Chanteuse Vanessa Paradis...

I've asked myself so many times... What would it be like to roll over, open my eyes, and have Johnny Depp staring back at me...? Aaah... It must be nice. Il est trés beau! Nope, not me, but Vanessa Paradis has that luxury, along with the luxury of homes in France, the LA hills, Manhattan, and an island in the Caribbean. An entire island! I can't even imagine!

Miss Paradis was born in December of 1972 in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, a commune located only 7.3 miles from the center of Paris. She became a French star at the tender age of 14 with her single Joe Le Taxi. She moved to the USA in 1992 to work on an English album with writer/producer Lenny Kravitz. Rumor has it the two were a couple; he was still married to Lisa Bonet (of The Cosby Show fame) at the time. In addition to music, Paradis has acted in several films and was the Chanel model for the fragrance Coco.

This lady broke the hearts of millions when she and Johnny Depp started dating in 1998. *le sigh* Together, they have two children... Lily-Rose Melody and John Christopher "Jack" III. On the subject of marriage, she says she and Johnny don't really talk about it. They are as married as they can be. She continues to have a very accomplished career in music, film, and modeling. And she continues to garner the envy of millions of women across the globe... this one included!
