Celebrity posse escorting Johnny Depp to Israel

Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis announced their upcoming visit to Israel months ago, but what was expected to be a quiet family trip has since turned into a convoy of celebrities set to arrive together in the Holy Land next week.

French singer Paradis, who will perform at the Tel Aviv Performing Arts Center on Feb. 10, plans to arrive two days earlier with boyfriend Depp, the couple's two children and a glittering entourage. German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld is rumored to be accompanying them, along with French actress Isabelle Adjani, French singer and actress Bambou (best known for being Serge Gainsbourg's last girlfriend), and several other French and American VIPs.

"There is a long list of important people from the music and film industries who have expressed their desire to come here," said David Stern, the producer responsible for Paradis' Tel Aviv performance. He refused to expose the names on the list, but hinted that it will be a star-studded event.

"I had no idea when we started the journey that the Tel Aviv opera house will turn into the equivalent of the opening ceremony at the Cannes Film Festival for one night," he said.

Stern noted that Paradis decided to make the trip despite being pressured not to. "It was a one in a million chance that she would accept the invitation to visit here," he said. "The Israeli people are not familiar with the long way that Paradis has come since her famous song 'Joe Le Taxi.' She really is a huge star, and we are preparing an unforgettable night for the Tel Aviv audience." — ynetnews.com
