Johnny Depp has been tipped as the hot favorite to play Michael Jackson in a biopic about the life of the King of Pop.

Other contenders include Usher, Zac Efron, Will Smith or Justin Timberlake.

The director will have his hands full trying to cast the right person with a source revealing: “It’s going to be one mammoth task trying to get someone good enough at acting and dancing to fill Michael Jackson’s moon-walking shoes. They will need someone with edge, with uniqueness about them.”

Ghostbuster director Ivan Reitman and Up In The Air producer Tom Pollock are currently in talks regarding the project.

Who do you think should be cast as Michael Jackson?

Although Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have publicly stated that their “marriage is intact”, In Touch is sticking to their story. Will and Jada’s marriage is in trouble.

According to ITW, Will had been growing suspicious of wife Jada Pinkett and her ‘HawthorRNe’ costar Marc Anthony . He feared Jada had grown “uncomfortably close” to the singer, who at the time was still married to Jennifer Lopez. “Will expressed worry to some close to him that there was more than just on-set chemistry between Jada and Marc,” the insider tells In Touch.

So when Jada told Will she needed space and moved from their Malibu mansion into their Hidden Hills estate — and began spending more time traveling without the family — Will grew increasingly paranoid. In early August, he decided to confront his gnawing doubts about Jada and made a surprise visit to his wife. And, sadly, his suspicions were seemingly confirmed. “He left crying,” the insider confides to In Touch. “He was very upset. He said Marc was with Jada.”

TMZ is also reporting that Will and Jada are in trouble. They claim that a split is still a huge possibility.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are having significant problems in their marriage, but they have NOT made a decision to separate … at least not yet — this according to sources connected with the couple.

Reports have been swirling that the couple has separated. We’re told it’s “definitely a possibility” but they haven’t pulled the trigger. In fact, we’ve learned Will, Jada and their kids are going away together soon — as a family. Our sources would neither confirm nor deny if the trip is a last ditch effort to save the relationship.

We also asked our sources about the somewhat curious statement from Will and Jada, that their marriage is “intact.” Specifically, why didn’t they go the more traditional PR route and say they’re still in love and committed to each other? Our sources privately said, the language was carefully constructed.

Man, I will be so surprised if Jada did have a relationship with Marc. I just find him so gross, and not attractive AT ALL. I can’t imagine a world where someone leaves Will Smith for the weasley looking Marc Anthony. It makes no sense!

The Smith clan is taking on another classic movie.

Ten-year-old Willow Smith is set to play the title role in “Annie.”

The film is being developed by Overbrook Entertainment, which the Smiths co-own, along with Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter and Sony Pictures.

Last year, 12-year-old Jaden Smith starred in a remake of “The Karate Kid,” which raked in $343 million worldwide.

Sony’s Columbia Pictures first brought “Annie” to theaters in 1982.

The movie was based on the Broadway musical in which an orphan’s life is transformed when she goes to live with the wealthy industrialist Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks.
