The British SAS has rescued Hollywood heartthrob Johnny Depp’s dreams of becoming a rock star.

Two former members of the Special Air Service are to act as “minders” so The Pirates of the Caribbean star can tour with British rockers Babybird.

According to a report in The Sun newspaper, music-loving Depp had begged the Indie rockers to let him play guitar with them.

But the band said no because of security fears, before the star hired the two muscle-bound hardmen.

An insider told The Sun: “These guys are experts in restraint. They don’t mess about and can handle any situation.”

Depp is expected to join Babybird at select gigs and festivals in June and July.

Jon Gosselin was ordered by a court to pay his divorcing wife, Kate, $180,000, according to a source.

The reality stars have been warring since Jon pulled the plug on filming of Kate’s new reality show, Kate Plus 8, by ordering network TLC off his property.

Kate whipped Jon into emergency court to claim $232,000 in funds she alleges he took from a joint bank account.

She claimed he was in contempt of their court order relating to the divorce they both filed for in recent months. Kate’s attorney Mark Momjian stated: “The remaining sum of $55,000, which Ms Gosselin used for household bills and expenses relating to the children, will be subject to further determination by the arbitrator at a later date.”

Jon’s deadline for paying the $180,000 is October 26. Kate will have to provide the court with an inventory of her expenses.
