Billy Bob Thornton: Huh? I Never Banged Amber Heard!

Billy Bob Thornton is not shy when talking about his sexual conquests, or his desired sexual conquests. Case in point: He once came out and said a “lifelong goal” is to sleep with Jennifer Aniston . This seems relevant because Thornton suddenly finds himself at the center of the very ugly Johnny Depp-Amber Heard divorce trial. Amidst accusations of abuse against Depp by Heard, a new story went viral this week. As first reported by TMZ, photos of Depp with a bloody finger will be used in the trial that is scheduled to begin on Wednesday. Heard alleges that Depp sliced off part of this finger during one of his angry tirades. But that’s not even close to being all. According to Heard, the actor was drunk and high on ecstasy at the time of the incident – which took place in March while the stars were living in Australia for the shooting of the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie. In his wasted rage, Depp took his severed finger top… dipped it in blue paint… and wrote a strange message on the mirror. It appears as if the text reads, “Starring Billy Bob and Easy Amber.” See, Heard had recently filmed a movie with Billy Bob Thornton and Depp was under the impression that the two carried on an affair. It’s unclear if he had any evidence to back up this assertion. Thornton, meanwhile, tells TMZ that the cheating allegation is “ completely false .” Yes, he appeared in the film “London Fields” with Heard… and there’s nothing more to the story. Heck, he never even socialized with the actress outside of a full cast dinner. Billy Bob says he wouldn’t even consider Heard a friend. Their relationship was strictly professional. Thornton has been married to Connie Angland since 2014. He says he’s spoken to his wife about the rumor and assured her it was all in Depp’s head. Last week, a disturbing video of Depp surfaced. It was filmed several months ago by Heard ( though NOT leaked by Heard , she insists) and it gives us an idea of how Depp can get into a seriously agitated state.

Heard and Depp met on the set of The Rum Diary in 2011. They got married four years later. But there’s always been tension between the couple, with Depp notoriously jealous and Heard notoriously independent. That can made for a difficult combination. Heard accused Depp of abuse in May. Pictures of the actress with bruises on her face subsequently went viral. On May 27, 2016, Heard walked into a Los Angeles courthouse with a black eye and filed for a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband. She said at the time that Depp had been “verbally and physically abusive” to her throughout the “entirety” of their relationship. Depp has denied these charges through representatives, but has not spoken out directly on the matter. Both sides have a number of witnesses lined up for this week’s divorce trial, which promises to expose a lot more about their private life. We’ll continue to update our Amber Heard and Johnny Depp sections as more news about their marriage, their divorce and their ongoing problems is made public.

Eva Mendes Describes Losing Brother, Then Giving Birth All In One Week

Sometimes, when a loved one passes, in their place they leave the gift of new life. Eva Mendes experienced this in May, when she suffered the loss of her older brother, Carlos , then gave birth to her second child , a girl just days later. “Losing my brother brought our family closer, and we were already close to begin with,” Mendes told the September issue of Latina . “So to just see everybody be there for one another and show up, I feel so lucky to have them.” View Slideshow: 17 Celebrity Moms Who Kept Their Babies a Secret They were right next to the actress for significant moment, when she had daughter Amada (dad is Mendes’ partner, Ryan Gosling). “We had a funeral service for [Carlos] and that same week I had the baby. So it was really, really intense and obviously beyond heartbreaking, but also kind of beautiful.” Understandably, Mendes isn’t at the point where she’s let such an extreme high and an extreme low sink in. “Being totally honest, I don’t feel like I’ve really processed that yet.” Mendes, 42 and Gosling are already parents to Esmerelda, 22 months.   The couple selected the name Amanda for the newborn after Mendes’ grandmother.   “It was an emotional time with the passing of my brother,” Mendes recalled. “We thought how beautiful to go with what made us emotional and with what felt like her. When we looked at her, we thought, ‘Aww, Amadita.’” Though she will star in 2017’s  Fast 8, Mendes is putting the focus on motherhood at the moment. “Right now it’s really about surviving those nights and trying to enjoy this time as much as possible with them, and start the bond between Esmeralda and Amada.” Mendes realizes how lucky she is to be selective when it comes to work. “Right now I feel very fortunate to be home with my kids. I feel so lucky, and I’m just taking advantage of that,” she said. Eva Mendes on Ellen: All About Baby!

Keshia Knight Pulliam on Divorce Drama: No More Tears!

Keshia Knight Pulliam is choosing to focus on the positive. Yes, the former child star is getting divorced. Yes, husband Ed Hartwell dropped this unfortunate nugget  into her lap this week and, yes, he even include the demand for a paternity suit in the divorce documents. Also: yes, Hartwell didn’t paint Pulliam in a very good light when he told The New York Post that she was baby-obsessed and that she would disappear on him for nights at a time, hence his questions over the father of her child. But still. Pulliam is here to say that she’s doing just fine. “It’s Friday, and I’ve made it,” the actress said today on her podcast, Kandidly Keshia, adding: “One thing you know in show business is that the show must always go on. “I’ve definitely had a trying week, to say the least, but I’m grateful, I’m here, I’m well, baby girl is well and, at the end of the day, that is all that matters.” Pulliam ism indeed, pregnant with a girl. It’s unclear when she is due, but she’ll be raising the child on her own. “Despite what’s been publicized, there’s always funny, there’s always love, there’s always laughter, no matter what,” Pulliam said of her ongoing “little situation.” This would include a divorce from the man she married a mere seven months ago. Hartwell said in his latest interview that Pulliam wanted to have a child right away. Despite his protestations, the couple did get pregnant… but then they grew apart. When Hartwell admitted to still having feelings for his ex, he says Pulliam flipped out and basically vanished from his life. Pulliam, however, shared her side of the story with Entertainment Tonight, telling the outlet on Wednesday that Hartwell is the one who cheated . She says she was not paid for that appearance. “There’s no amount of money that could replace that, and it was about the opportunity to share my truth – share what has actually happened to me,” she said today. “And I’m grateful for it because of how many women I’ve been able to empower, because silence is what allows this to continue, for people to suffer, for people to feel alone, and I’m human – we all have stuff, I’m not excluded. “So the fact that I was able to help even one woman, for me, makes it all worth it.” Later in the podcast, Pulliam said she will never be friends with Hartwell’s ex-wife, Lisa Wu, though she wants to make it clear that she did NOT steal anyone’s husband. “The show must go on, you just keep it movin,” Pulliam concluded on air. “This isn’t the final destination – it’s a pit stop. No more tears, I’m laughing all the way from this point and enjoying life.” After recording the podcast, Pulliam shared the following photo on Instagram and wrote a note of gratitude to her supporters. Just taking a moment to be present, relax & be grateful… As my late Uncle Gene would say, “Just coolin my heals!”. Thank you to all who have reached out to send love, support & encouragement… My village is more amazing than I could ever dream of!! Stuff happens… But “The show must go on!”. My new podcast on #KandidlyKeshia is up now. On to new beginnings!! Here’s a look, meanwhile, at what has happened to other cast members on The Cosby Show.

Leslie Jones: Ghostbusters Star Stands Up To Twitter Trolls

People are awful, as Leslie Jones is showing us. The Ghostbusters star has been the target of hatred on Twitter, and is doing something about it. According to E! News , rather than delete her account, Jones is going after every single user who has tweeted something vulgar or offensive. “I leave Twitter tonight with tears and a very sad heart,” she wrote. “All this cause I did a movie.You can hate the movie but the shit I got today…wrong.” Exposing each user took its toll on the actress, who admitted that it was all getting to be too much. “I feel like I’m in a personal hell. I didn’t do anything to deserve this. It’s just too much. It shouldn’t be like this. So hurt right now.” The fact that the  Saturday Night Live  star has to endure such abuse (over and over and over again) is very tough to watch.   Fortunately, other stars have come to Jones’ defense, including Reese Witherspoon and Loni Love, and a hashtag, #LoveForLeslieJ has been created in support. When some users claim that Jones was melting down by responding to the hateful tweets, she took them to task. View Slideshow: 14 of the Craziest Celebrity Twitter Feuds EVER “It’s not called a meltdown when [you’re] defining yourself. Pay attention,” she shot back. “So sad, these people have mothers and sisters and aunts. So f–king sickening.” Ever since the Ghostbusters trailer premiered back in March, Jones has been on the defense against racist and sexually offensive remarks. According to the star herself, she’s been called an “ape,” received pics of people’s butts, and one person sent an image with “semen” on her face. Instead of celebrating opening weekend of her movie, Jones has spent all of her time responding to and warding off venomous tweets from people who not only have a few brain cells floating around in their head, but have no problem tearing someone else down. This is bad.  We need to do a better job at being human. View Slideshow: 21 Stars Who Spoke Out Against Sexism in Hollywood

Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick may have had a rocky relationship over the years, but they sure did produce some cute kids. Just look at this adorable pic of their daughter Penelope, who turns four years old today. I mean, what a sweetie. Kourtney shared the pic to Instagram today with a sweet message for the toddler, who probably can’t read yet but whatevs. “Happy birthday to my little mermaid!” Kourt wrote. “Seeing the magic in the world through your eyes makes me so happy.” As for Scott, well, he posted a photo of a big white bed plus a couple of selfies today. Awesome. Kourtney shared a second photo of herself and P, both sporting bikinis while out on a boat in the middle of the ocean somewhere. The mom of three is vacationing on a tropical island with friends, and while she has not specified where, the pics are most envy-inducing. Grandma Kris Jenner also wished the tyke a happy birthday on Instagram, sharing a photo of Penelope looking as fashionable as her mom, rocking a top knot, John Lennon sunnies and a crop top. “Happy birthday to our little princess, my sweet angel girl Penelope!!!!” wrote Kris. “You bring so much joy to our lives and I love you more than words could ever say!! #sweetgirl #happybirthdaypenelope #myheart” Last month, InTouch reported that Kourtney was pregnant with her fourth child by Scott and suggested that the new bun might bring the former couple back together.

Mischa Barton Apologizes for Wildly Inappropriate Instagram Post

Mischa Barton is not perfect, people. Anyone who watched her performance as Marissa Cooper on The OC is well aware of this fact. But the actress (former actress?) has taken to Instagram in order to drive this point home in the form of an apology. Barton came under major fire this week when she addressed the sad situation of Alton Sterling being shot dead by police in Louisiana. The tragic incident took place on Tuesday. Based on the video (below), it certainly appears as if Sterling had already been detained by officers and placed on the ground at the time these cops opened fire, ending his life on the spot. Take a look at the disturbing footage for yourself: Alton Sterling: New Video Emerges of Deadly Louisiana Shooting In response to the seemingly senseless death, Barton wrote the following on her social media account: I’m truly heart broken to watch videos like the #altonsterling execution. This may have been going on forever in the United States but thank god the pigs get caught on camera now. Its unthinkable and an embarrassment to America. The country I was brought up in. Somebody make change. We need gun control and unity. And a real President so think about that when this election is around the corner. The world is a precarious place right now.#stop #reflect and #act appropriately. It’s hard to take issue with any of these words, right? So, what was the problem with Barton’s post? She included the following photo along with it: Somehow, it did not occur to Barton that an image of her relaxing in a bikini on board a yacht might not be the most appropriate setting in which one ought to touch on the topic of racial injustice. After deleting the photo, yet still receiving a great deal of backlash, Barton shared the following Mea Culpa on her Instagram account today: “I’m human, I’m not perfect, and I’m sorry if my Instagram post went out of context. I didn’t mean to offend anyone.” We can’t say we’re big fans of the I’m not perfect defense, but whatever. It’s better than no apology at all, right? In the wake of Sterling’s death, along with subsequent shooting of  Philando Castile , many stars have sent messages of pain, anger and hope on social media. HERE IS WHAT BEYONCE SAID . HERE IS WHAT TYGA WROTE . HERE IS A LOOK AT DRAKE’S MESSAGE . And here’s a rundown of those who have been outspoken on the topic of inequality in America: View Slideshow: 18 Celebrities Who Think #BlackLivesMatter

Hana Ali Reveals Heartbreaking Final Moments of Father Muhammad Ali’s Death

Yesterday, the world lost a legendary athlete. “The Greatest,” in fact. Muhammad Ali died after a 32-year battle with Parkinson’s Disease. As the world mourns this devastating loss, his daughter Hana Ali has shared the details of his death in a social media post. In the photo above of her with her dad, she calls him a “humble mountain” and asks fans to “pray for the peace of his beautiful soul and for the happiness of his further journey.” In a second post, she reveals that at the time of his passing, the boxer was surrounded by loved ones expressing their love and support. “Our hearts are literally hurting. But we are so happy daddy is free now. “We all tried to stay strong and whispered in his ear, ‘You can go now. We will be okay. We love love. Thank you. You can go back to God now.’ All of us were around him hugging and kissing him and holding his hands, chanting the Islamic prayer.” Then, Hana recounts, something truly remarkable happened. “All of his organs failed but his HEART wouldn’t stop beating. “For 30 minutes… his heart just kept beating. “No one had ever seen anything like it. A true testament to the strength of his spirit and will! “Thank you all for your love and support!” Incredible. Even in his dying moments, Muhammad Ali floats like a butterfly, and in our hearts, it stings like a bee. RIP Muhammad Ali. View Slideshow: Muhammad Ali: Mourned, Remembered by Stars Everywhere

Megan Fox: Everyone Thinks I’m Shallow Because I’m Hot!

Megan Fox is gorgeous. Everybody knows that. But the actress fears that’s the only thing people know about her, and that her looks have subjected her to erroneous assumptions about her character. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times , Fox explains that regardless of what she says or does, fans view her as shallow because of her appearance. “People anticipate a shallowness [from me],” she says.  “They anticipate a self-centeredness and a lack of self-awareness,” she continues. “It doesn’t … matter what I say, or how eloquent a speaker I may be, or how positive my intentions may be. I’m going to be made in what people desire me to be.” She talks about how the stereotype has prevailed for decades: people just can’t grasp the notion that a beautiful woman could be smart, or emotionally complex. “You know how women that are always cast in James Bond movies are pinups but their job in the movies is always being a marine biologist or neuroscientist?” she asks. “I think people react to me that way. Like, ‘Right, she’s studying neurobiology.’ But I am really interested in that.” However, Fox insists that there is far more to her than just impressive bone structure and a flawless figure. And while she had wanted to be an actress from a young age, she thinks her passions lie in other fields. “I don’t think acting is my ultimate passion,” she reveals. “I have other skill sets and gifts that are much, much stronger that I am obligated to exercise and use,” she adds. “I’m really more intellectually minded. I’ve always been into alternative history, antiquities, archaeology.” In April, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows star revealed that she was pregnant with her third child  with husband Brian Austin Green. The announcement shocked fans because she filed for divorce from Green the previous August. But as a result of the new development, the couple chose to give their marriage another shot .

Johnny Depp: Drunken Assault on Amber Heard Revealed?

On Friday, Amber Heard requested a restraining order against Johnny Depp , claiming that her estranged husband had violently assaulted her and left her with facial bruising and other injuries. Several of Depp’s high profile friends and exes expressed their skepticism about Heard’s version of events, with some even going so far as to accuse the actress of blackmailing Depp .  Heard’s attorneys responded by issuing a statement indicating that Heard plans to file assault charges against Depp. Her legal team now claims that she had only declined to do so on the night of the alleged attack in hopes of protecting “her privacy and Johnny’s career.” Now that Depp’s team has publicly accused her of lying, however, it seems that all bets are off. Not only will Heard be filing a police report that could result in serious criminal charges for the 52-year-old actor, her lawyers have claimed that the attack that took place last week (during which Depp allegedly struck Heard in the face with an iPhone) was not an isolated incident. So perhaps it’s no coincidence that sources supporting Heard have started coming forward with shocking allegations about Depp’s brutish behavior throughout the 15-month marriage: View Slideshow: Johnny Depp Domestic Abuse Allegations: Stars React “Johnny has been drunk for most of their relationship. He often wakes up drinking and he does not stop until he blacks out,” an insider close to the couple tells Radar Online.  Just two months after Depp married Heard, he was photographed with a cast on his hand that was reportedly the result of an accident on set. The source claims that was merely a story cooked up by Depp’s agency, and the reality of the situation was much darker: “The real reason Johnny broke his hand is because he tried to hit Amber and he hit a wall instead!” the insider says. “Johnny can be dangerous and unpredictable when he is drinking, and he was often drinking when they were together.” In court documents, Heard claimed that Depp was “barely ever sober” over the course of their marriage, and she filed a restraining due to her fear of what he may be capable of while intoxicated: “Amber was legitimately afraid for her life,” says the source. “The only reason that she is even taking legal action now is because she really believes that she was in danger.” View Slideshow: 15 Celebs Who Have Been Accused Of Domestic Violence
