Jacob and Joshua Miller of the band Nemesis Rising have been officially excommunicated by their church, the Jehovah's Witnesses, Advocate.com reported.

Rosie O'Donnell and Donald Trump have resumed attacking each other, according to The New York Post. O'Donnell, who had been quiet since her nasty spat began with Trump, called him 'the comb over' on her blog and suggested he was acting like a 'pimp' for Miss USA, Tara Conner.

Depp has already gone the LGBTQ route, having played a transgender Cuban prisoner in Before Night Falls and a dandified swashbuckler in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
