Amber Heard is dying to go out with her ‘gays,’ but every week, ‘I can’t go’

Amber Heard

These are some new photos of Amber Heard visiting David Letterman yesterday. She’s been doing a lot of publicity for 3 Days to Kill following last week’s premiere where Johnny Depp dressed like a little old man in LA.

There’s been something I keep forgetting to discuss about Amber. A story from a few years ago keeps popping into my head, and then I go all scatterbrained while thinking about Johnny’s scarves. This isn’t even a tabloid story, it was a quote from Rum Diary director Bruce Robinson during an interview with Women’s Health. Robinson said that Amber was the only member of the cast who didn’t party after a day of shooting. She was like a vapor trail and completely disappeared. Robinson admitted, “I remember Johnny and I saying, ‘Jesus, where’s Amber?’

Amber didn’t act like a typical giggling starlet on set. That is how she bagged Johnny Depp. It seems so simple, but it’s kind of genius. Girl’s got game.

Anyway, I meant to touch upon some of Amber’s new interviews. She’s been doing the rounds and recently spoke with E! Online:

She doesn’t have an exercise routine: “I’m active. That’s the key. I’m not really one to go sit in a gym. I get claustrophobic, I guess. I’m lucky though. I live in Los Angeles, so I have a lot of time to be outside and be active. That’s what I do.”

She wants to go to LA gay bar Oil Can Harry’s: “I’m dying to go. I try to make plans with my gays to go and every week something happens and I can’t go.”

She loved filming 3 Days in Paris: “I can order some wine. The important stuff.”

[From E! Online]

Amber previously said she’s into running, tennis, and pilates, so her gym statements make sense. I do find it interesting that Amber is dying to get with her gays to go to the bar. Because I doubt she’s just talking about dudes. What mysterious force keeps stopping her from going?

Now for some NYC talk show goodness. She stopped by both Letterman and Live! With Kelly and Michael. Both Kelly and Dave mention that this is Amber’s first time on their shows. I find this amusing because Amber’s been making movies for a decade. She’s not getting these shows because 3 Days to Kill looks like a step up. She’s getting them because Johnny Depp is a very effective string puller.

Here’s the video of Amber visiting Letterman. The abundance of hair extensions is weirding me out. She talks about growing up Texan. Again. Her dad wanted her to be a champion barrel racer: “He’s my date to all my premieres, and he’s on set all the time.” Oh, rly?

On Live!, Amber talked about her Mustang and Texas. She also laughs at a weird baguette/wang joke.

So many hair extensions.

    Why does she remind of Lady Gaga here?

    I thought her story is she is bisexual with past girlfriends. Talking about her gays comes across like a straight woman with her gay male friends.

  3. blue marie says:

    I don’t understand why people put possessive pronouns in front of gays. They aren’t “your gays” they’re “your friends that are gay” jackass and why is that even important?.. I have no idea why this annoys me but it does..

    • seVen says:

      I get what your saying… i dont even know why people feel the need to say ” my gay friends” … why have to put ” gay” in there, cant they just be friends? You dont go around announcing your straight friends… *sigh* This trick.

      • kellyinseattle says:

        I completely agree!

      • V4Real says:

        I agree with Blue Marie and seVen as well. I don’t know what’s worse, saying my gays are calling being gay a “lifestyle.”

      • mytbean says:

        I guess for the same reason that I hear gay people specify that they are referencing or talking about or visiting with straight friends when among an exclusively gay social group.

        The “out-ness” is still novel enough that it seems relevant to identify and self-identify. Maybe one day it won’t matter but today it still seems too.

    • neelyo says:

      It’s condescending and sounds like they’re talking about their pets.

      • nofkksgiven says:

        definitely implies ownership – like they are accessories to her – and also reveals her ignorance – she thought this comment would make her sound “cool” or endearing

        shes not totally hate-worthy though she just seems really contrived

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        People honestly think they’re being progressive when they say they’re hanging out with their “gay friend” or their “black friend”. I happen to think it makes people sound ignorant and a whole lot less progressive than they think they are.

        I even have one friend (who happens to be gay) that always has to mention a person’s race while relating a story, and it drives me bananas because he should know better (being a member of a socially oppressed group).

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        Well sometimes the ‘gays’ don’t mind, but that’s still something I wouldn’t ever say in public–it should be something between friends. My sister addresses her gay (male) friends as ‘ladies’ and they think it’s hilarious. But I’ve never heard her describe her gay friends as her ‘gays’…..I only know that she calls them ladies to their faces because she was telling me about this time when she said ‘Come on, ladies, let’s go to the mall!’ and one of her friends did some really exaggerated, stereotypical ‘gay’ gesture towards her…

      • Sullivan says:

        + 1

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      It annoys me, too. So condescending. Or something.

    • stellalovejoydiver says:

      just another pathetic attempt to make her seem edgy

    • Miffy says:

      Thank you! I thought I was the only one irked by this. Does she call her straight friends ‘my straights’? What about friends of a different ethnicity to hers? Surely whacking a possessive pronoun in there is less than endearing?

      Is ‘my gays’ a fairly well-known thing? I’m not gone on it.

      • dagdag says:

        I have read it before and find it offending. Not hate-worthy like one forist said above, jucky, stupid, opportunistic, whatever.

    • MynameisPeaches! says:

      You are spot on Blue. It should annoy us all . Gay folk are not little accessories for people to flaunt. No straight person ever says “I’m going out with my straight friends”. Friends are friends at the end of the day.

    • Vanessa says:

      Stfu or I’ll get my blacks on you!

    • TrustMOnThis says:

      Agree. The scarequote should have been before the word my. It’s dehumanizing.

    • I Choose Me says:

      + Infinity

  4. willowtree1992 says:

    call me crazy, which i’m sure people will, but I genuinely like her. Whatever happened during Vanessa and Johnny’s relationship, which she may/may not have been involved in, does not fall on her back alone. I also enjoyed her role in Rum Diaries. I’m not going to pretend that I know what else she was in, though. Also, the woman is lovely.

    • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

      I don’t dislike the couple–I do think that they have a ton in common (like riding horses, cars), but I don’t really see them lasting for forever. I think she is way too tryhard–she should just give up acting, because beyond her and Johnny in Rum Diaries (they had good chemistry, but she was the hot chick) chica can’t act at all. No charisma at all. She might as well save her money, or look into some long term voice work or something, and just go home and lay in bed with Johnny all day (that’s what I’d do). Because she might have *some* interest around her now, because she’s recently engaged to Johnny, but if these two break up or not–that interest will wane. She’ll become another fashion girl, at best.

    • Miffy says:

      Well, apparently, I saw her in Zombieland. Not that it was a stand alone powerhouse piece of cinematic glory or anything, it was a bit of fun, but I didn’t remember her at all til I rewatched it this weekend. And she was pretty bad… even as a zombie. I like my zombie flicks and somehow she managed to overact the part totally.
      Anyway, it’s not fair to base her whole career on that, she had, like, three lines and then over played a zombie for five minutes. But that’s my only experience of her acting.

    • Hannah says:

      I am indifferent about her, i findher bland but harmless. The reason people don’t like her is she is perceived as a home wrecker, which you can get away with if its a brad angelina situation were there was no kids involved and the percieved home wrecker is just as talented, powerful, rich or big a star. Amber is neither of these things. When she on top of that is young enough to be depps daughter and is a subpar actress which makes the accusations of gold digger tempting, it’s not hard to see why the public perception of her is bad. She is officially the woman who made johnny depp uncool .

      • Virgilia Coriolanus says:

        I don’t really see anyone saying that she and Johnny got together while he was still technically with Vanessa….and I don’t really see anything to support that either. Until some pictures come out of them on set or when he was still with Vanessa of them kissing or doing anything couple-y, I don’t think it’s fair to accuse someone of doing something based on the fact that they had a fun time doing a movie together, and got together after the movie.

        On this site, people don’t like her because she is tryhard and talks an awful lot of I’m an ARTISTE crap, for someone who plays the hot girl (and apparently not very well) in most of her movies.

      • Em says:

        Virgilla. If you read Hannah’s post again you will note that she is using the word perceived, in fact twice, both in regard to Heard and Angie. That Is not an accusation, perceived means, it is seen as such. It doesn’t mean it’s true. Yes it doesn’t help that heard presents herself As a great actor when she is quite the wooden one. But people also don’t like her for the reasons Hannah stated. Most people haven’t read her interviews, as she is not very famous on her own, they just know she is the much younger woman depp did a movie with and subsequently he left his family. It may not be fair or accurate but that is how this relationship is seen. You can see they got some incredibly negative reaction on all the major sites when they got engaged and it was not because of heards interviews. It was the old man and young gold digger/home wrecker comments that was bandied about the most. Personally I believe Vanessa wanted out just as much as depp possibly did.

    Ugg. So uninteresting, That is all

  6. dagdag says:

    I go with my dogs, cats go alone, and sorry, I don´t keep gays. Sometimes I go with my friends.

  7. Renee28 says:

    I just can’t warm to her. Nothing about her seems genuine.

  8. willowtree1992 says:

    i will say this though, as a pansexual woman, i too get genuinely offended when people use phrases like ‘my gays”, etc. It really bothers me but again, that’s a faux pas a lot of people make; even some of my friends (who are mostly bi-sexual, gay, gender queer or straight individuals).

    • Terri says:

      The term gives an alienating vibe when stated out like that. Replace the word “gay” with any ethnic or other group term and it gives a “members only” kind of feel. I am sure in reality it is not like that, but I agree…throwing in “my” implies ownership or exclusivity.

  9. Virgilia Coriolanus says:

    I’m wondering what her parents think about her engagement. All I know is that if I were Amber, my mom would be telling me that Johnny might be hot and virile now, but it doesn’t stay that way forever. And Johnny’s forever is closing in on him, faster than Amber’s.

    But then again–she can’t really talk. She was 34 when she married my 21 year old step-dad…..and people think they’re the same age, and she’s nearly 50 now….

    I remember last summer, she and my aunt were talking about older men/younger women and my mom’s like ‘those young girls don’t want some old ass man–they want the money’….and I’m sitting there laughing, because she’s 13 years older than my dad and had three kids when they met.

    • Mala says:

      Well, Amber’s parents are two catholics living in Texas
      Amber was living with an older WOMAN (Tasya Van Ree is also 11 years older than Amber) before Johnny. What do you think they prefer for their first born? the woman-artist or the man that even if is older, offers to her not only marriage but also the chance of to have children (means grand-children to the couple of catholics that probably were dreaming all their lives about the babies of her baby daughter).
      And the fact that the older man is a living legend and a multimillionaire, doesn’t hurts either.

      I think in the interview when Dave jokes about her parents being “surely comfortable now” about her career, was kinda alluding to her relationship with Johnny now.

  10. InvaderTak says:

    Uhg. I hate it when people use “the/my gays ” like that. It’s not exactly derogatory, but it still seems disrespectful. Why do you even have to make that distinction? They’re your friends not pets.

    Edit: people beat me to it. Glad I’m not the only one.

  11. thinkaboutit says:

    I too am baffled by all that new hair! It’s all you see in the latest photos. Wtf??

  12. Anonny says:

    Honey, the point of a gym is not to “go sit in” it.

  13. Dawn says:

    I must be a dunce because I don’t see extensions in her hair? I have long hair like that and believe me I don’t and never would wear extensions. Can someone explain to me how you can tell when it is extensions and not real hair? Thanks!

  14. phlyfiremama says:

    Perfect. Well said, Willow~

  15. No says:

    Just as a fun fact. Her Dad not only accompanies her to every set, he is an extra in all her movies. Seriously 😀
    Her fans have tons of pictures of her Dad appearing in some special scenes (Machete Kills, North Country, Syrup, etc, etc). I don’t know how he’s doing now with the movies she’s doing far away from her Texas (in London, like “London Fields”), but it’s true. His moustache it’s hard to miss

    I’ve seen pictures of her and “her gays” taking salsa classes. That should be pretty comfortable for Johnny because he doesn’t like to dance, so he can send her to do what she likes without be worried with “her gays”. Also she’s still very supportive of the LGBT (despite that lesbians hate her now) so sure “her gays” are okay with her calling them as whatever she wants.

    And LOL at Letterman asking about Johnny. I could see in her face that she was expecting a question about the engagement, but it was funnier and it seemed much more natural just to mention him, than totally ignore him as with Kelly and Michael.

    Also at the end Letterman “congratulates” her. It was for her engagement maybe?

    • Miffy says:

      ‘Just as a fun fact. Her Dad not only accompanies her to every set, he is an extra in all her movies.’

      Are you sure it’s not actually her fiancé?

      Sorry!!! Sorry! Cheap shot! I had to!

    • stellalovejoydiver says:

      she has fans?

  16. some bitch says:

    “The/your/her gays” is so offensive and pandering. Are you going to go out with “your blacks” too, Amber?

  17. msw says:

    “My gays”– makes me feel ill. Way to objectify and “other” your friends, there.

  18. Mark says:

    Working for decades?

  19. Talie says:

    I like her, but the problem with her TV interviews is that she’s just not loose, but she thinks she is. So, it can come off a bit stilted. I think she’s very intelligent, but not every actor can do the dog and pony show as good as Jennifer Lawrence or Julia Roberts or George Clooney.

  20. anon33 says:

    I really, really, REALLY don’t get this one. Even in the five seconds that I’ve seen of her in the trailer for “3 days,” she seems absolutely terrible. Like her performance would pull me right out of the movie because it’s so abjectly awful.

  21. joan says:

    I don’t find Depp sexy at all. Now RDJ charms my pants off, but he projects wit and brains, which Depp doesn’t do. So I don’t get him. And therefore she and he seem a great fit.

  22. Aisha says:

    “My gays”??! *gags*. Ok, now this girl annoys me. What a dumbass.

  23. deehunny says:

    I can see why men find her attractive besides the fact that she’s so gorgeous. She has a groovy, chill feel to her which makes her “special.” Also, I realized why I find her so coquettish– she reminds me of a water downed version of Rose McGowen facially (and without the Wednesday Adams pale skin and cleft, of course)

  24. St says:

    Do people confuse her with Lady Gaga on the streets?
