Johnny Depp is slowly selling off the five luxury penthouses he owns in Los Angeles, having now offloaded the fourth. The expensive properties - all of which can be found in the Eastern Columbia Building in the downtown area of the city - were listed collectively at $12.78 million last year. His third apartment was listed earlier this year for an eye-watering $2.475 million - but the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor, 54, has sold the fourth for $1.82 million - suggesting the apartment has not met its asking price - not good news for the superstar who is reportedly still suffering financially from his divorce from Amber Heard.

"Clearly a lot has changed since then. That business has moved online -- and so has the Voice's audience, which expects us to do what we do not just once a week, but every d...
