Is Johnny Depp Using Amber Heard’s Divorce Settlement To Get A Tax Break?

amber heard johnny depp As you may recall, Amber Heard was awarded $7 million in her divorce settlement from Johnny Depp — a substantial amount that she decided to split between a few different charities because she didn't want his bullshit money (you know, as a "gold digger" would do). Instead of giving the money to Amber so that she could then donate it, he's apparently decided to make those donations on her behalf, possibly for a major tax break. Stay classy, ya old drunk! Depp would get around half the money bac...

Sarah Jessica Parker Breaks Ties With Epi-Pen Over Price Gouging

sarah jessica parker I'll be honest with you — I didn't even know Sarah Jessica Parker was ever promoting Epi-Pen, the life-saving allergy product given to those with anaphylaxis, but apparently it was a thing for a while. It is no longer, however, since SJP isn't happy with the price gouging going on at the moment. Apparently Mylan, the company behind the Epi-Pen, has raised the prices of the drug roughly 400% (though as of this morning, Mylan has vowed to make the drug more affordable) and SJP decided to cut ...

Naya Rivera Had An Abortion On Her One Day Off From ‘Glee’

naya In recent years, Naya Rivera has drawn more attention for her rather eccentric off-screen antics than she has for her talent, but having a kid does seem to have mellowed her out a little bit, and now that she's calmed down and has a book to shill (Sorry Not Sorry, which is out on September 13), she's ready to reveal some bigtime secrets. One is her struggle with an eating disorder, which she revealed in the hopes of making sure others who are suffering feel less alone. However, the biggest con...

Natalie Portman Says French People Are Too Judgmental

natalie portman Natalie Portman is married to a French dude and lived in Paris for the longest time (i.e. apparently only two years, but I swear it was longer), but she's just recently moved back to the US — to Los Angeles, in particular. While one would assume that the Parisian lifestyle is super glamorous and wonderful and much more high brow than LA superficiality, Natalie says that's not the case at all. In fact, she finds Parisians far too judgmental (and not accommodating enough of her vegan lifestyle, to ...

Some Dude From Tennessee Got Catfished Into Thinking He Was Dating Katy Perry For 6 Years

katy perry Here's one question I find myself asking on a near daily basis: What in the hell is wrong with people's brains? If you don't have developmental disabilities, how on earth is it that you can convince yourself to believe such outlandish shit, like that God hates gay people (or exists at all, but I'm actually alright with religion as a security blanket so long as you don't try to let your bullshit dictate other people's lives and rights) or that you're totally dating Katy Perry for six years eve...

Amber Heard Donates $7 Million Divorce Settlement To Charity

amber heard Everyone had shit to say about Amber Heard when she revealed that husband Johnny Depp was a drunk, abusive prick. She was a liar, a gold digger, a no good slut, a lesbian (yes, these are all "insults" I saw thrown at her online). Then she produced the receipts and assholes were still claiming the footage was "edited" (despite the fact that it was one continuous clip) and insisting that she was "egging him on." Because, you know, she's responsible for controlling his temper for him. Whatever...

Kim Kardashian Finally Admitted She Got Butt Injections… “For Her Psoriasis”

kim k Anyone with two eyes and a working brain could tell that Kim Kardashian got butt injections/implants. She went from a pancake to a peach pretty much overnight, and that ain't from working out. She's always vehemently denied having implants, but she was playing words there because while she may not have silicone bubbles in her ass, she got plenty of injections. She finally admitted to transferring a ton of fat into her ass cheeks, but swears it's something she did "for her psoriasis." Uhhhhhh...

Meryl Streep Wants Amy Schumer To Play Her In A Movie

amy schumer meryl streep I absolutely worship Meryl Streep and have since I was a kid, and I like Amy Schumer....'s Comedy Central show (I can take her or leave her off-camera sometimes, though I do find her generally enjoyable). Anyway, my point is, while both women are great in their respective fields, I wouldn't necessarily ever put them in the same realm, but if Meryl has her way, that would all change. You see, Meryl thinks Amy would be perfect to play her if there was ever a movie made about her life. Say what?...

Amber Heard’s Video Of Drunk & Aggressive Johnny Depp Leaks & It’s Not Pretty

johnny depp I'd love to give a big middle finger and a hearty "Fuck you!" to everyone who called Amber Heard a gold digger, an attention seeker and who claimed that she was "making up" allegations of abuse at the hands of her soon-to-be ex-husband Johnny Depp. Video surfaced this weekend taken by Amber Heard on her cell phone which shows a very drunk and belligerent Johnny Depp drinking wine early in the a.m., breaking glasses, slamming cabinets and promising to "show [Amber] what crazy is." Charming. The vide...

The Rock & Vin Diesel Have Been Feuding For Years & We’re Just Finding Out About It

the rock vin diesel It's pretty well documented at this point how much I love The Rock. I won't hear a single negative word said against the dude, and because of my admitted bias, I'm automatically on his side when it comes to Dwayne's recently-revealed (but long-happening) feud with Vin Diesel. Here's how it all went down: earlier this week, The Rock went on a bit of an Instagram rant about an unnamed "candy ass" Fast & Furious co-star for being unprofessional on set. This is my final week of shoot...

Hugh Grant Says Humans Aren’t Meant To Be Monogamous

hugh grant When you think of Hugh Grant, committed and monogamous partner are not the first things that come to mind, right? I mean, how many cheating scandals has the guy been caught in over the years? How many kids does he have by how many different women? With that in mind, it's not exactly a surprise that Hugh thinks human beings aren't actually meant to be faithful to one another. Wow, mind-blowing! During an interview on Howard Stern's Sirius XFM show on Wednesday, here's what Hugh had to say about t...
