Happy...with or without marriage

French singer/actress Vanessa Paradis has no plans to marry longterm boyfriend Johnny Depp because the prospect of becoming his wife frightens her. The pair has been dating since 1998 and they have two children together -- Lily-Rose, 11, and Jack, eight.

But despite constant engagement rumours, Vanessa isn't planning to wed the Pirates Of The Caribbean star as she’s happy with their current relationship status.

She explains, “There is something romantic about marriage and something scary about it. If you’re happy without it, why bother?”

Gee, has Vanessa been talking to Billy Ray Cyrus, who apparently told his daughter Miley, “There’s no quicker way to ruin a friendship than to get married.”
