In Touch: Johnny Depp & Amber Heard “are not exclusive, are not serious”

I hope you don’t mind, but I’m kind of fazing out of the Johnny Depp drama. I always liked him as an actor, but I was never really “OMG, he’s the hottest thing ever” about him. My panties were never in the game, thus, I don’t feel personally offended that Depp has turned into a massive douche in the midst of an epic mid-life crisis. That’s the way it goes with some dudes. Meh. I am interested in knowing what’s going on with Johnny and Amber Heard, just because it’s emerging every day that Johnny and Amber are in the middle of a full-blown love affair… or so it would seem. Us Weekly claims that Amber and Johnny have been boning for months, ever since they were promoting The Rum Diary last year, and sources claim JD and Amber are “100% dating” and that Amber is a frequent visitor to the set of The Lone Ranger.

In Touch Weekly’s sources have a similar take, but there are some interesting quotes in there too. One source says Amber and Johnny “have a lot in common… they are both very sexual and very artistic. Amber idolizes Johnny.” In Touch says that Amber and Tasya van Ree called it quits several months ago, around the same time that Johnny and Amber were “heating up.” But! An insider says that Johnny “isn’t jumping from one serious relationship to another… he and Amber are not exclusive.” Also, the insider notes that Amber “is very smart, and she knows how to get attention. She doesn’t mind being linked to a man like Johnny.” So is it a little bit from Column A, a little from Column B? Johnny and Amber are boning/dating, but the relationship is being played up because Amber wants attention? I don’t know. It’s a theory. Adding to that theory: Amber and her maybe-girlfriend Tasya van Ree were spotted together yesterday. And by “spotted together” I mean “posed for a candid photo shoot”. You can see the photos here. I’m not sure what’s up.

Meanwhile, The Enquirer claims Vanessa Paradis is seriously pissed AND they haven’t worked out all of the money drama yet. Some highlights:

JOHNNY DEPP is facing the world’s biggest-ever palimony case over his $350 million “Pirates of the Caribbean” treasure chest from spurned lover VANESSA PARADIS. Furious over bombshell reports that the heart­throb actor has been wildly partying and secretly romancing a string of beautiful women, Johnny’s longtime French lover Vanessa Paradis is demanding an equal share of his movie millions, say friends.

At 49, the superstar has become Hollywood’s highest-paid actor – raking in more than $20 million a film. In 2010 alone, he reportedly made a whopping $100 million.

“Vanessa is gunning for Johnny,” revealed an insider. “She played a big part in his success and for years they shared everything. It’s only in recent months that they’ve lived separate lives. Vanessa hears about all these other women, and Johnny’s drinking and partying, and she can’t help wondering how long it’s been going on. And career-wise, while he was becoming a major movie star, she took a seven-year break from recording albums. Just because they never got married doesn’t mean she shouldn’t have the same rights as a wife. She feels she deserves a hefty portion of that $350 million fortune.”

Vanessa, 39, might snare a big chunk because they were together when Depp made most of his money, say sources. His career didn’t soar until he was cast as Capt. Jack Sparrow in Disney’s “Pirates” franchise, and that was five years after he started romancing her in 1998.

In addition to their millions, the couple owns homes in the South of France and in Venice, Italy, as well as one in Britain and two in Los Angeles. They also own an is­land in the Bahamas as well as a yacht.

Famed divorce attorney Raoul Felder believes Vanessa is in for a huge payday.

“Even though Johnny and Vanessa never married, factoring in the length of their relationship – 14 years – as well as having two kids together, she could walk away with millions in palimony and maintenance,” he told The ENQUIRER.

As recently as last summer, Vanessa sported a diamond “the size of the Ritz” on her ring finger, according to a published report. And that ring will carry a lot of weight in any palimony battle, noted the New York-based attorney.

“What is key to this case, compared to other unmarried couples, is that she has a ring from him,” Felder said. “That is likely to make a big difference.”

[Via The Enquirer]

The Enquirer finishes it off by saying that Vanessa is “heartbroken” when she realized the extent of Johnny’s philandering, and “Now she wants her just due – in millions.” The Enquirer also name-checks Angelina Jolie – I wondered when that was coming, and I can’t believe it took more than a week for someone to say, “Huh, I wonder if Johnny also boned Angelina?” To be fair to the Enquirer, they just say that Vanessa was jealous of Johnny and Angelina’s “steamy on-set chemistry.” My guess? Amber Heard is filling in for Angelina in this particular scandal. Bisexual, a little bit crazy, nice boobs, an exhibitionist… it’s like Angelina circa 1999.

    Too bad amber doesn’t have la Jolie charm… I too am sick of stories about this douchlord

  2. RocketMerry says:

    Duuuuuuude… they shoudn’t even be, let alone be or not be “serious”!

    Cheating skanky asshole. Yeah, Johnny, talking to you.

  3. Cherry says:

    Yeah, STILL no buying this. Amber’s got better things to do than hang out with THAT. Plus, she’s not his type at all. That In Touch story sounds like a load of crap. ‘They have a lot in common… they are both very sexual and very artistic…’ What does that even mean? Seriously. They’re both artists, yes. But last I checked, all Homo sapiens are ‘very sexual’.

  4. Madpoe says:

    I thought Johnny had that pixie/waif type? Amber’s a hottie. And was I the only one that watched “The Tourist” and thought what are they talking about chemistry between these two?! That film bored me to tears.

  5. miriam says:

    A friend of mine (who is a big fan of Depp’s) is claiming this situation is akin to Pitt leaving Aniston for Jolie. That Depp has finally found someone that he can connect with, i.e. Heard.

    I told her that it wasn’t a surprise her boyfriends always cheat on her, she hasn’t a clue.

    • Cherry says:

      Wow. That’s not a very nice thing to say to your girlfriend, is it?

    • SofiaPetrillo says:

      That’s a really crappy thing to say to a “friend.”

    • SofiaPetrillo says:

      Moreover, it’s kind of a catty cliche to place blame the woman for getting cheated on, isn’t it? Your friend might be picking terrible dudes, but the blame for cheating lies with the person who can’t keep it in their pants or who doesn’t have the balls to break up with their partner before taking it out of said pants.

      It also happens to be the strategy that JD’s team is using: paint VP as a money-loving nag and JD as a put-upon man who couldn’t help but bone other chicks. It’s so pathetic, but I guess it’s a winning strategy overall.

    • stinky says:

      anyone can be lied to… including you.
      i hope youre not thinking you can’t be fooled by a lying guy. we all can, sista!

  6. lisa2 says:

    I guess just Johnny and Amber is not generating the gossip frenzy they want so let’s throw in Angelina or Angie/Brad.

    Nothing happened with AJ and JD. that movie was almost 3 years ago. It didnt’ work then and it won’t work now. But the Angie detractors are pissed and keep mentioning her name.

    Sorry everyone does not want Johnny Depp

    • Gabrielle says:

      It’s not that I want Angie and Johnny to hook up. Or hate Angie and always want to blame her, it’s just that that would make a great story. If that came true, I would love to read an article about that relationship.

      All gossip sites and tabloids are half fiction anyway. I hope nobody believes every single thing they read is true.

    • carrie says:

      i even don’t believe they liked to work together: in the movie THE TOURIST they have no alchemy and they’re not at ease together and during the promotion they were again less at ease

      • lisa2 says:

        I think they were at ease with each other. I think the problem was the media trying to create some sex scandal. They hung out together with Vanessa. So no need to do that if you don’t like each other. And Johnny told some cute story of how he/Brad/Angie were hanging out and they left their dog with him; when they went on a date. So not buying they dont’ like each other. I think they were just so aware of the press trying to cause problems that they didn’t want to give them anything to work with.

  7. kpist says:

    Wow, she even has a “leg” shot too.

    • Holly says:

      Ha! I was thinking the exact same thing! I wonder if that was pre- or post- Angelina’s Leg Event…?

  8. Jackie O says:

    i think u hit the nail on the head with the comparison to angelina jolie circa 1999. i guess if it worked to catapult one women into fame, it can work again.

  9. Bubulle says:

    Well now we know why Johnny is trashing Vanessa it’s because she wants lots of money. Even if Johnny has been douchey I don’t think she’s entitled to half of his fortune, she has her own money after all.

    • Xera says:

      If she was interested in money I think she would have managed to get married at some point during the last 14 years

      • Peito says:

        Yeah! Johnny proposed to her several times…it was Vanessa who didn’t want to be married and she said it

        By the way I don’t believe the “Enquirer” story at all…they’ve been separated for months, the two agreed on the timing of the announcement, that the children will gonna live in LA and Vanessa even look for a new house for her in LA…

        So it’s very obvious that their “economics terms” of the split were agreed at that point too…

        The problem with money that they have (according to a lawyer who talked with “ET”) is: it’s doesn’t matter if Johnny wants to give half of his fortune to her (as is said) Vanessa will receive only HALF of this…because they weren’t married and half the money goes to TAXES

        When a couple is legally divorcing, the money is considered as a “compensation” and is tax free…

  10. Catherine Paris says:

    I hope Vanessa gets a very good portion of his money considering how he has raked her over the coals lately. A horrible way to treat the mother of your children and your partner for 14 years. Go Vanessa!

  11. T.C. says:

    I believe the Johnny and Amber dating story. If US magazine is his place to drop info then they are telling the truth. He gave her a horse, she visits his movie set, flies around in his jet.

    • Peito says:

      I don’t think US Magazine is HIS place “to drop” anything…the article was nasty with him too (almost as much with Vanessa)…they mixed his own publicist between his “rumored” lovers, they used paparazzi pictures of his children and uncovered an unknown affair

      And now, they’re trying to show that he doesn’t have a relationship with Amber…

      So every single thing that has been mentioned in the article has been DENIED IT IN PRACTICE!!…that doesn’t make any senses if he was him who authorized the original information, isn’t?

  12. julie says:

    I doubt that he is diving head first into another exclusive relationship so fast. When I think about his brown teeth.. ugh. But I’m sure it would be great for Amber’s career to have that connection. She would never be getting this kind of attention without the possibility of an affair with Depp.
    As far as Angelina is concerned, I’m sure she wanted him big time, but I heard that they didn’t get along and he really didn’t like her at all. But who knows? It certainly wouldn’t be beneath Angelina Jolie to try to get her claws into Johnny Depp.

    • Kim1 says:

      Why in the world would Angelina want Depp and he was the one praising her calling her a walking poem and extraordinary parent.Amber has never broke up with her Gf.

    • Jenny says:

      Why do people think Depp is such a prize. Who would want someone who treats the mother of his children so badly and why would he be a catch.

  13. athina says:

    how can you people believe this crap???amber and her girlfriend photographed together just a few hours ago.there is no proof that johnny is dating her.and you media need to shut up because there are kids involved who have access to the internet and probably can read this.and for you who say that you lost respect for johnny.how can you say this without proof that he actually cheated on vanessa???cheating isn’t the only thing that can cause a break up but what to expect from people who only want to hate on others?no one knows why they broke up and we will never know.it’s their business so let them alone.shame on you people for believing everything written in the tabloids.just because the break up was true it doesn’t mean that this story is true as well.the break up was on the cover of PEOPLE magazine remember???respect their two little kids and stop writing BS.

    • Cherry says:

      wow, athina, settle down, girl! I’m sure Vanessa and Johnny don’t let their kids follow all the latest tidbits on Celebitchy…

      • athina says:

        i hope so.but how can people be so sure that he and amber are dating???there is no proof, that’s what i am saying.i say that if you want so much to hate on johnny wait for some REAL facts and not ”sources”.wait for some photos maybe??or for an official announcement?

    • Martian says:

      Yeah! actually there’s no proof of nothing more than they separated…apparently in good terms (because if not, the coordinate silence, living all this time in the same country/city/house to avoid suspicions, etc, doesn’t make sense)

  14. Ramie says:

    too many nonsensical Johnny articles…too soon! I don’t care who or what Johnny is seeing these days. I am a big fan of his work, but I feel no need to rake him over the coals for a failed relationship.

  15. Dany says:

    Tasya van Ree looks so much better than Amber and Johnny together! *LOL 😀
    She’s got a charisma Johnny once had and little Amber will always miss.

  16. lafairy says:

    It is getting quite annoying that old men like Antonio Banderas,Georges Clooney or Johnny Depp are still labelled ‘hearttrobs’ by some rags, jeez! their hearttrob days were decades ago, now they are ageing actors anda 50 yrs old hearttrob besides being a non-sens is totally ridiculous!

  17. SofiaPetrillo says:

    “Just because they never got married doesn’t mean she shouldn’t have the same rights as a wife. ”

    …that’s why you get married and get that piece of paper, to get all the protections that come with marriage. She’s surely entitled to very generous child support and I’ll bet she and JD will work something out to divide their assets. But they’ve banged on for years about how they didnt need to be married, and splitting assets after a break up is one of those situations that illustrate why the right to legal marriage is important (for everyone).

  18. carrie says:

    Amber Heard was again with her girlfriend last month

  19. iheartjacksparrow says:

    Regarding Vanessa’s diamond: It’s my understanding that Johnny gave that to her after Lily-Rose was born, so not an engagement ring.

  20. Loulou says:

    Vanessa is French. After he’s realized what a fool he’s made of himself, calms and humbles himself, I’m sure they will be right back where they were if only that Vanessa won’t sacrifice as much anymore after being burned for it and he will take a page from Robert Downey Jr and mature wisely. That’s what I predict. Then, they’ll get the hell out of the tabloids. Hopefully, he’ll fire the publicist. That would be a first step in the right direction.

  21. yoyobaby says:

    i believe he bought her a horse

    Amber Heard has been photographed in riding clothes several months ago and since then,… I am show jumper so to see any celeb in riding clothes piques my interest.

    however, my first intial instinct was either – she is a novice or doesn’t ride very long or frequently – because her half chaps and paddock boots were very clean AND she was wearing big earrings. Any kind of jewerly – imagine getting bucked and that earring going through your neck and or ripping through your ear lope – not good.
    Most experience people don’t get on a horse wearing dagger earrings like she was photographed in while she was wearing riding clothes.

  22. Chordy says:

    I appear to be in a minority here, but Amber Heard just DOES IT for me. She seems to live her life how she wants to. I think it’s brave to be openly bisexual like she is, because there’s still so much stigma surrounding bisexuality (as evidenced by the last week of threads about Amber Heard). People say you’re attention seeking, crazy, slutty, etc. To me, she seems like a super sexy lady who doesn’t fit into our definition of “normal” and has decided she doesn’t care. Go on with your bad self, Amber. I won’t fault you if you banged Johnny Depp. I probably would have in my early 20s too.

    • Cherry says:

      You’re not a minority here. If you read back the latest JD/Amber treads, you’ll see that most readers agree that she’s a hottie and can do must better than Depp. Although I have to disagree with you that it’s ‘brave to be openly bisexual’. I think it’s an advantage rather than a problem for starlets nowadays. A LOT of female celebs (Christina Aguilera, LiLo, Evan Rachel Wood, Anna Paquin, Fergie, Gaga, Megan Fox, Drew Barrymore, Angie Jolie) have claimed to be bisexual recently. It’s what’s en vogue lately. If you really are bisexual- more power to ya.

      • Cherry says:

        To be clear: I’m sure some of these ladies actually are bisexual. But I also think it’s obvious that some of them just say they are because they think it makes them appear sexy and interesting.

  23. Bad Irene says:

    When I was young my cousin and I had terrible fights over who was cuter Johnny Depp or Keanu Reeves, so its looks like I won Tracey! Keanu for life!

    On topic JD needs to get his act together, all this nonsense makes me think that the rumours of his drug problems are true and these cheating stories are being put out there to distract peoples attention.

  24. BrunoBeat says:

    Sounds fake, carefully crafted.
    It seems a ‘Beard’. She is being used to cover something up.
    In exchange gains fame. Because no one knew who she was before.

    Could heavy drug addiction, Robin Baum, was Vanessa tired him and wanted to leave him ? All the alternatives? Place your bets.

  25. Eleonor says:

    Amber is not even near the Angelina in the ’90s ,imo Angie was more controversial, she was far way crazier.
    Btw I don’t think anything serious can come from Depp in this moment.

  26. Davide says:

    She was papped with her gf/ ex yesterday. Obviously very deliberate. I think this girl is milking the Depp rumor 100%%. As far as i have seen every other woman, Green et all have denied this rumor. Amber has said nothing.

  27. Pilar says:

    I lol´d at ” they are both artistic”.. She’s an awful actress and is only in the news because of who she is supposedly boning. She is no more artistic or worthy than Kim Kardashian or Stacey Kebler.

  28. lola says:

    Winona 4 ever!!! she is working with Tim Burton again. Is time for a Johnny and Winona reunion

  29. ernie says:

    Still think the real issues haven’t come up in the press. By the way, both Angie and Amber are huge compared to Johnny. When he was standing next to Amber (in red dress) her leg looked twice the size of his thigh. Sorry, I still think he likes them smaller than he is. I think anyone who comes near him will be fair game for awhile. Did you hear that Tom and Katie are divorcing? Wow, what kind of story will that unleash in the wake of Johnny and Vanessa separating?

  30. Vanessa PARASITE says:

    Karma has risen up to bite Vanessa in her derriere. Pieces of March 19 2000 article in Sunday Mail supplement reminding you that she A) trapped him with a baby and he could have easily bought her off with much less $ back then if he was the “douche” you ppl claim; and B)that she knew she was getting a man who wasn’t a 1-woman man; and C) she said she’d be happy giving up her career to raise a lot of kids, instead of the “sacrificing her career” BS her PR is circulating to get her her as much $ as possible.

    A)”When it was reported that Vanessa had ‘stolen’ Johnny from his girlfriend of four years, causing the supermodel to check herself into London’s exclusive Priory Clinic, suffering from ‘stress and anxiety’, Paradis managed to alienate legions of adoring Depp fans. She also angered Moss’s supporters, who branded her a scarlet woman and was seen as a brazen traitor to her sex. Within three months of meeting Johnny, Vanessa was pregnant. Asked if she feels guilty about Moss, Paradis looks down quickly and says: ‘Next question please’.”

    B)”Depp told an interviewer: ‘Fidelity is fine in theory, but if it runs against your nature, you have to change. I can’t be faithful. Half of me loves the idea of having two or three kids and spending every evening watching TV, but the other half of me will always need to stay out all night.’ Surely this sort of thing must make Paradis very insecure? Valiantly, and in her idiosyncratic English, she insists: ‘He has as much of his life as I have of mine. I am not going to eat it all. I don’t want to know it all.”

    C) ‘I’m not a very big career woman. I have done well because I’ve been lucky – I have had no formal singing or acting lessons…I don’t know if I deserve it. I could give up everything tomorrow. I love what I do, but Lily-Rose is the centre of my universe. The baby wasn’t an accident. We didn’t plan it, we had only been together a few months, but we knew what we were doing…’I definitely want more. I haven’t made a list yet, but, yeah, I want a lot of kids… And I can tell you honestly I would give up the career for a family. Definitely. No questions asked.'”

    • kaydee says:

      You must not know how babies are made!!! It takes two to make it happen and you can’t trap a man with a baby! If they don’t want to be there they will find a way out. If he felt so trapped why is he walking away now, it’s not like his children are adults now. And why would he make another baby with the same woman 3 years later if he was tricked the first time? He could have been a part of his daughters life and went and picked Moss up from the nut farm if that’s what he truly wanted.

      That’s great if your a fan of his but stop implying that his children were mistakes, it’s an awful thing to say!!

    • stop the madness says:

      Johnny Depp basically said he’s not monogamous. And you’re angry because he was in a relationship with Kate Moss and had sex with Vanessa Paradis? According to you, he’s not a one woman man. They’re adults. They knew what they were doing.

      How do you consider yourself a Johnny Depp fan and question the existence of his children? What would he think of his fans questioning that? It’s disrespectful to them and your idol. They’re here because they’re meant to be. Stop implying otherwise.

      According to your quote, Vanessa said she would give up her career for her child and she wanted more than one. Lots of mothers would give up careers for their children if they could and want more than one. What’s wrong with that?

      People are angry at Johnny because he’s allegedly blaming Vanessa for his regressions, forcing him to move to LA, and make pirate movies for money etc. They’re not buying it. He needs to mature more gracefully. Even if they’re not together blaming all the stuff that has come out and will come out on Vanessa is just lame.

      • Martian says:

        I’m a fan of Johnny and I don’t agree with the original post (all of this about Vanessa and the children)

        I firmly believe that Johnny love her (or loved her) and the man is crazy about his children so is very disrespectful to think that he would have changed anything about his history with Vanessa…

        But assume that is HIM who is behind all this madness (he doesn’t win nothing…and he hates MEDIA…he hardly gives interviews…hates photoshoot…and NEVER (read it again HE NE-VER) has given an interview to “US Weekly” or “People” before) it’s EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL WITH HIM!!

        They loved each other before…now they don’t and they are doing what every person would do…TO QUIT! FINISH!…

        Don’t blame them because 14 years were a great record for Hollywood and even for “normal” people, so something good they made!!

  31. Celestine says:

    I liked Vanessa in Girl on the Bridge and in Heartbreaker and I like her DivinIdyll CD. I’m confused here about her “giving up her career.” Since their 2 kids were born, she’s made at least 11 movies, modeled for Chanel and Miu Miu, recorded 5-6 CDs and gave many concerts. She even won Female Entertainer of the Year in France a couple years ago. Her fans always say she doesn’t need Johnny because she has plenty of money of her own from her great career. Depp gave her a standing ovation at her LA concert in 2011.

  32. Zeta Broad says:

    Johnny did not “hook up” with Amber during filming in 2009. Here’s what the director of the Rum Diary said: “When some of the cast went out to blow off steam after a day of shooting, she would disappear. And at the end of filming I remember Johnny and I saying, ‘where’s Amber?'” She went to see Tasya every day after filming.

  33. Jacqueline says:

    None of us knows the understaning Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis had while they were ‘estranged’ for the past two years. It does appear he wanted to try one last time to see if it could work between them. When any of us first meet someone we are attracted to; chemicals are released from our brain; they make us euphoric. As hard as you may try and you may see things that will be an issue (every relationship has issues); the dopamine and seratonin chemicals in your brain create ecststic emotions. I’m just guessing, but I think Johnny Depp may be having a mid life crises. He has closure with his previous relationship; Vanessa and now feels free to date. In the future, what do he and Amber have in common with such an age span? I think he bought her a horse because his brain is overflowing with brain chemicals. After all, he is an A list movie star and she might be able to profit from this. She is also years younger and is in awe of him. I’m around his age; so I’ve walked her path of being in awe of someone older. It’s so much better feeling centered within and respecting and enjoying someone’s company as you get to know them. Maybe I’m being overly critical, but, I think he’s gone over the top by buying her a horse so soon. And as there a saying, past behavior is an indicator of future behavior. It appears to me Johnny Depp falls hard quickly for women; they are in a relationship with him for a few years and then he ends it. When the sexual high wears off; what is there to keep him and Amber together. I also feel immense compassion for Vanessa. She gave up her career to be near Johnny when he was filming esp. Pirates. I hope that she finds the beauty in her life. He throws himself into the heat of the moment with a new woman (which I think will end; whenever) and Vanessa is doing is what is most healty; grieving. Moving forward with her life as is best and grieving. Whether or not someone is in her life is irrelevent; she is doing what I think is healthy.

  34. mary simon says:

    I like the way Johnny is scratching his itchy scalp in the first picture because he hasn’t washed his hair in weeks. What a greaseball.

  35. Kosmos says:

    Oh, scheesh…what a crazy story. Depp with Angie, no way….about Depp and Heard, I really don’t know, but if they are/were together, I do not think it has staying power. I think Vanessa was mature and they spent a lot of good years together. They were really connected, but that has ended. Sure, he can play around with women, but I don’t think he will find someone like Vanessa that easily, and he will eventually become bored with superficial relationships.

  36. Agree with you that an actor’s ability to pull off a role such as this should trump an actor’s physical likeness to said person. Watts has the acting chops to do this and will likely do it well, but …

  37. Runa says:

    Why is everybody presuming that HE left HER?…
    If she partly through me out I’d would seek comfort and diversion for me to think of something else where I could find it. Have anye one seen the look in his eyes thes past months? That not a happy man who has won his freedom back.
    And about him and amber, sok OK mayby they are having an affair, og *gasp* maybe they are friends!!!! :-O
