On a night in March, 1982, Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams stopped by John Belushi's room at the Chateau Marmont to snort some cocaine —they had "a few lines and a few words," but were "creeped out by the scene" and left. Shortly after, Belushi overdosed on a speedball injection; he was found dead the next morning, in Bungalow #3.

That's just one of an infinite number of stories from the rooms of the Chateau Marmont, the ultimate in "if these walls could talk." Mark Rozzo documents some others in the 2019 Hollywood Issue of Vanity Fair: Lindsay Lohan got kicked out of Room 33 after refusing to pay her $46,000 worth of room service charges. Britney Spears was ejected from the restaurant for smearing food on her face. Scarlett Johansson fucked Benicio Del Toro in the elevator. Going back to the older days: Bette Davis started a fire in Room 47 after falling asleep smoking a cigarette while watching her own movies. Barbra Streisand, Buddy Hackett and Warren Beatty all lived in Room 16. Howard Hughes shut himself up in Penthouse 64 and lived as a hermit, spending his days "spying on the bikini girls" at the pool. 23 years before Belushi, Bungalow 3 was the site of an Errol Flynn "drunken rampage" (and subsequent fatal heart attack) after sex with "a series of underaged nymphets," which somehow wasn't the creepiest incident involving the word "underaged" in the Bungalows: 4 years earlier, the 44-year-old director of Rebel Without A Cause Nicholas Ray moved in after walking in on his wife fucking his teenage son (who she later married) (yes you read all those words right) and promptly started sleeping with a 16-year-old Natalie Wood in exchange for a part. Tough break for her co-star Dennis Hopper, seeing as Wood was his girlfriend — he got over it with "50 woman orgy" in that same room. Elsewhere, It's not specifically a "room" per se, but Jim Morrison fell off the roof. Francis Ford Coppola wrote his movies in Room 59, then his daughter shot her movie "Somewhere" in it.

All that history. All those rooms.

And Johnny Depp and Kate Moss fucked in every single one of them.

Depp and Moss were the iconic ’90s couple. Decadent and volatile, their passionate romance — which spanned 1994 to 1997 — took them from London to Hollywood to Cannes, sometimes leaving chaos in their wake.
The actor was 31, and Moss was 20 when they met. “I knew from the first moment we talked that we were going to be together,” the model has said….

Now before you go around thinking "the most romantic thing I've ever heard was Johnny Depp and his girlfriend Kate Moss fucking in every single room of a hotel known for drugs, overdoses, deaths, and drug overdose deaths," wait until you hear about the necklace:

“He gave me a diamond necklace which he had hidden down the crack of his arse!” Moss chirped.
Years later, she again reminisced about the jewelry. “He said, ‘Come on, we’re going to the Russian Tea Room for dinner’ … as we were going out the door, he said, ‘Kate, I’ve got something on my arse, you have to look, I don’t know what it is, will you have a look for me,'” she told Nick Knight’s Fashion Film. “I’d only known him like three months! I put my hand down the back of his trousers and pulled out this f–king Tiffany necklace. It was nice not to find a boil. That necklace is f–king class…”

Whoever said chivalry is dead should be arrested for disinformation.

So now you have some solid background on the relationship going into the high-stakes testimony today — not to mention a nice little history lesson of the 90+ year life of an iconic Hollywood hotel, some celebrity trivia for your next party, and the mental image of Kate Moss pulling a diamond necklace out of Johnny Depp's boil-free asshole after fucking in a bathtub full of champagne.

All in all, a well-rounded blog.
