Mickey Rourke seems to have some hot Hollywood takes to share these days. The actor, who rarely ever minces words, recently made headlines for sharing some not-so-nice thoughts on Tom Cruise. When asked about the actor’s recent success with Top Gun: Maverick, Rourke said that it “doesn’t mean shit” to him and accused Cruise of playing “the same effing part for 35 years.”  Now, it seems that he also has thoughts on the ongoing legal battle between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, and he didn’t hold back on that discussion,…

Following Amber Heard’s loss in court during Johnny Depp’s high-profile defamation case versus his ex wife, the actress and her legal team are remaining active in their pushback against the ruling. Last week, her team of lawyers singled out one juror on the trial and filed documents accusing him of getting himself fraudulently empaneled on the jury in an attempt to get the verdict of the case where she owes $10 million dropped. The judge has now responded to these claims. Once again, the court did not rule in favor of…

Doja Cat’s TikTok fans recently saw her vent about her dispute with 17-year-old Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp, but now the 26-year-old has turned to entertain her viewers in other ways, including an Amber Heard imitation. Similar to the Aquaman actress, who was asked to describe a previous bee sting during her testimony in her defamation case with ex-husband Johnny Depp, the Kiss Me More singer-songwriter stated in her TikTok video that her puppy was recently bitten by a bee. “It’s honestly hella sad ‘cuz like,…

After Amber Heard's attorneys asked the Virgina judge to set aside the verdict in the defamation case and begin a fresh trial due to mistaken identity of one of the jurors, Johnny Depp's lawyers have urged the judge to not do the same. The verdict requires Amber to pay $10.35 million to Johnny over the 2018 op-ed piece she wrote in The Washington Post about domestic violence. Johnny has to pay $2 million to Amber on her counterclaim that she was defamed by one of his attorneys after he called her allegations a hoax.…

While Johnny Depp is best known for performances in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series, Edward Scissorhands, Donnie Brasco and many other movies, lately the actor has mainly been drawing attention for the drama in his personal life. A little over a month ago, the defamation trial between him and his ex-wife Amber Heard concluded, with Depp being awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages (though that latter amount was later reduced to $350,000). Now today brings word that Depp…

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s heated defamation trial ended in early June, but the drama hasn’t slowed down since then.

But more recently, Heard’s lawyers made a major attempt to get the verdict thrown out after making claims of an error with Juror 15. Now, the actress’ legal team is doubling down on those efforts via a new filing, which provides…
