Según el sitio RadarOnline.com, Depp y la madre de sus dos hijos han discutido mucho en los últimos meses y podrían tomar prontamente rumbos distintos.
La pareja de artistas nunca ha contraído nupcias, pero llevan juntos por más de 14 años.
“Johnny y Vanessa no se están llevando bien, parece que la relación termina en cualquier momento”, dijo una fuente cercana al actor de “Piratas del Caribe” a RadarOnline.com.
Jon Pepper, a company spokesman, said Josephine Ford, who lived in suburban Grosse Pointe Farms, had been ill several weeks and died of natural causes at Henry Ford Hospital.
At the time of her death, Ford owned more than 13 million shares of Ford Motor stock _ about 18 percent of the stock held exclusively by Ford family members. In 2001, Time magazine estimated her fortune at $416 million.
The Detroit Institute of Arts, the Josephine Ford Cancer Center and the College for Creative Studies, an art and design college in Detroit, were among recipients of millions from “Dody” Ford and the foundation she established with her late husband. web site ford motor stock
Graham W.J. Beal, director of the Detroit Institute of Arts, said Ford was “extraordinarily generous.”
Ford amassed a renowned art collection, including paintings by van Gogh, Renoir and Picasso. Beal said he did not know how Ford had bequeathed her remaining artworks.
She was born in 1923, the third of Edsel and Eleanor Ford’s four children. Edsel was Henry Ford’s only son.

Percy Strother
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) _ Percy Strother, a local blues musician who recorded the 1992 album “A Good Woman is Hard to Find,” died at his Minneapolis home Sunday, about two months after learning he had liver cancer. He was 58.
Strother was recognized for his deep, soulful voice and for his flashy attire, including capes and snakeskin boots. Musician Paul Metsa, who books acts at Famous Dave’s BBQ & Blues, said Strother even “dressed to the nines” at his last gig April 15.
A native of Vicksburg, Miss., Strother found a home in Twin Cities nightclubs in the 1970s, alongside other Southern immigrants such as Mojo Buford, Big Walter Smith, Lazy Bill Lucas and Willie Walker. Like most of these players, Strother found fans as far away as Europe but often fought to get noticed at home.
With the help of R.J. Mischo, a local bluesman he mentored, Strother recorded the acclaimed 1992 album “A Good Woman Is Hard to Find.” The title track, inspired by his wife, tied with Robert Cray’s “I Was Warned” for best blues song of the year in Living Blues magazine.

Wayne Suttles
FRIDAY HARBOR, Wash. (AP) _ Wayne Suttles, a scholar on Pacific Northwest Indian culture who was cited in landmark court rulings, died May 9 of pancreatic cancer at his home on San Juan Island, relatives and tribal officials said. He was 87.
Suttles was an editor, author and anthropologist who specialized in the Salish peoples’ economies and languages. Besides his influence in court, Suttles was known for research that resulted in the revival of traditions and languages previously thought to have been lost, and for research that helped prove that tribes that had been deemed extinct were still in existence.
Suttles was born in Seattle, grew up on his family’s dairy farm in Bothell, earned a bachelor’s degree in anthropology at the University of Washington and served in the Navy during World War II as a language officer translating Japanese.
Returning to the university for graduate studies, he began field work on San Juan Island that led to his life’s work _ studying the culture of the Salish peoples in Washington state and British Columbia.
He was cited in a number of key court rulings, including a critical salmon fishing rights decision in 1974.
Suttles left Vancouver in 1963 to teach at the University of Nevada in Reno, then moved to Oregon in 1966 and taught at Portland State University. He retired to San Juan Island in 1985. go to web site ford motor stock
His post-retirement writings include “The Musqueam Reference Grammar,” considered by some scholars the most complete work on any of the 23 known Salish languages.
Suttles also edited the Smithsonian Institution’s “Handbook of North American Indians, Northwest Coast Volume 7” _ a 777-page ethnohistory published in 1990.

Joseph Winchester
DOWAGIAC, Mich. (AP) _ Joseph Winchester, who led the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians’ fight for federal standing, died of natural causes Sunday at his home near Dowagiac, the South Bend (Ind.) Tribune reported Wednesday. He was 78.
Winchester was the Dowagiac-based band’s tribal chairman in 1994 when he led a contingent of Pokagons to the White House to watch President Clinton sign legislation that formally recognized the tribe as a legal entity.
At the time, Winchester said obtaining federal standing was necessary to provide the tribe with education, health and housing services.
A year later, when the Pokagons signed a gaming compact with then-Gov. John Engler, Winchester said a casino would make the tribe less dependent on government funding.
The Pokagons are trying to open a casino in far southwestern Michigan. Their efforts remain on hold while an anti-casino group’s appeal works its way through a federal court.
