Have you Heard the one about Amber dating Johnny Depp? It wouldn’t be the first time, most likely. Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are ” 100 percent dating ,” according to Us Weekly ‘s new cover story, not even two weeks after the actor separated from longtime girlfriend Vanessa Paradis. Amber Heard and Tasya van Ree split up as well, so … “They are 100% dating,” a source says of The Rum Diary co-stars. “He treats her very well.” Another source says he just bought her a horse, so … there’s that. The duo met back in 2009 but didn’t become romantic until the film’s promotional tour in 2011, when Depp and Paradis were already seriously estranged. “They started sleeping together during the press tour,” a pal says. Obviously, it’s unconfirmed based on these accounts, but rumors continue to surround Johnny and Amber. You tell us: Would they make a good couple?
Vanessa Lachey showed off her baby bump, bikini style , in a Twitter photo this week. But she delivered something even more exciting to fans yesterday regarding the growing child in her belly: its gender! “It’s a BOY. Nick and I are incredibly excited to share the news that we are expecting a baby boy,” the Wipeout host wrote on her website. “We can’t wait to meet him soon!!!” Naturally, the couple – who revealed Vanessa’s pregnancy in March – would be happy with either gender, but Mrs. Lachey did state back then that she “always wanted a boy first.” We wish future mother, father and son nothing but the best!!!

Might we have a case of true love for a True Blood star? Or perhaps just true lust… According to Heat Magazine sources, Joe Manganiello got along quite well with Demi Moore at a recent party in Los Angeles celebrating the premiere of That’s My Boy. “They looked amazing together,” the insider said of Ashton’s ex and the Magic Mike actor . “Demi was getting a lot more attention than a lot of the younger girls in the room, and Joe was seen waiting for her before they went off and hung out together at the party. They had amazing chemistry.” Joe and Demi met after the latter signed on for Magic Mike and have reportedly kept in touch, even after the actress pulled out of the film in which Manganiello stars as a stripper named Big Dick. This publication insider claims the hunk is responsible for getting Moore back on track after a rough few months . “Demi has finally got her groove back – and it’s all thanks to meeting Joe. She’s feeling confident again and, more importantly, sexy.” True, sex appeal is FAR more important than confidence in one’s self.

Well, Justin Bieber has done it again. The 19-year old continued his push toward Boyfriend of the Year, a source tells People , by treating Selena Gomez to a special helicopter ride this weekend. With both halves of this couple in Toronto for tonight’s MuchMusic Video Awards, Bieber reportedly rented the vehicle yesterday and took Selena to Stratford, Ontario, home to North America’s largest classical repertory theater. The insider describes the trip by Bieber and Gomez as “a relaxing and romantic break from work” and said each was very “excited” by the unique means of transportation. In a recent Elle interview, Selena described Justin as awfully “romantic,” citing another gesture he made many months ago when he rented out a basketball arena for the pair to watch Titanic in. Yes, folks, rumors of a split were very premature.
A federal appeals court ruled today that it will not review a three-judge panel’s decision to overturn California’s Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage. Proposition 8 banned gay marriage in California, before it was ruled unconstitutional last year. Proponents plan to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court. That would put battle for same-sex marriage on a national stage . The ruling comes after a federal court ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which says states don’t have to recognize gay marriages in other states and defines marriage as between a man and a woman for federal purposes, is unconstitutional. The Supreme Court could also decide to hear that case next year. In February, a three-judge panel in California voted 2-1 against the voter-approved gay marriage ban, upholding an earlier decision by Judge Vaughn Walker. The panel said that by denying same-sex marriage rights, Proposition 8 violated the equal protection clause and due process clause of the U.S. Constitution. The court wrote: “Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples.” Prop 8 supporters appealed, asking for a larger panel to review the case, and sponsors say they are eager take the matter before the Supreme Court. However, The February decision was narrowly written and focused on the measure in California, meaning the high court may not hear the case. Despite Prop 8 being ruled unconstitutional, and that ruling being upheld twice, same-sex couples in California will not be allowed to marry right away. As long as Prop 8 supporters have a chance to appeal, the measure stands; If the Supreme Court won’t hear the case, that would end the process. Same-sex marriage :

Dancing With the Stars’ Maksim Chmerkovskiy was photographed kissing fellow pro dancer co-star Peta Murgatroyd this weekend, sparking rumors of romance. On Saturday at the Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas, Maksim was there celebrating with Peta, who won Dancing With the Stars with Donald Driver last week. That wasn’t the only time the hard-bodied pair and rumored couple were spotted together in Sin City. Witnesses have seen them together all over Vegas. And, at the opening of Chmerkovskiy’s new dance studio in Connecticut on May 23, the pair stood arm-in-arm while he whispered in her ear. Hmm … “She’s had a crush on him for a long time,” a source tells People of Peta. “They are really great together. And he is very happy. It’s early but I think this will last. They’re a great match, a good couple. She says they’re not dating but they are. Everyone knows it.” Still, at the debut of the Dance With Me studio (which Maks opened with his brother Val and fellow pro Tony Dovolani), both danced around questions . “I’m here to support Maksim,” was all Murgatroyd would say about Chmerkovskiy, who wouldn’t directly address the nature of their relationship either. “I try to keep certain things private just because – what’s a politically correct way of saying it? It’s none of anybody’s business,” he said. “It’s very intimate and personal.” Yeah. They’re totally doing the horizontal Argentine tango. [Photo: Fame/Flynet]

Justin Bieber has been accused of battery against a celebrity gossip photographer. But questions have already risen over the legitimacy of this allegation. Here is what the paparazzi member claims in a police report : he tried to take Justin’s picture around noon yesterday outside a mall in Calabasas called The Commons. Bieber, who was accompanied by Selena Gomez , reacted in anger, some kind of physical confrontation took place and the photographer was taken to the hospital after complaining of upper torso pain. Here is what actually went down according to witnesses who spoke to TMZ : The photographer was blocking Bieber’s car ; the singer asked him to move; and a scuffle did ensue when the “journalist” refused to do so. But an attorney then approached the photographer and explained how he could get a lot of money if he called and ambulance and pressed charges. No word yet from anyone in Justin’s camp, while authorities are hoping to speak to Bieber and Gomez some time this week.
