Amber Heard wants restraint, not money, from Johnny Depp ... so say people connected to the actress.

Our sources say money is "the lowest priority" in her legal war with Depp. As we reported, both sides have been in settlement discussions and our Amber sources say Johnny's side has proposed a financial settlement ... spousal support totaling $50k a month for 8 months. After taxes, that comes to around a quarter of a million bucks.

Our Amber sources say they have not responded to Johnny's offer, because there was a string attached -- a mutual restraining order. The sources say Amber would never agree to be the subject of a restraining order when she was not the one who committed violence. Thus, it's a deal breaker.

Amber, we're told, wants her day in court next Friday in her attempt to win a permanent restraining order against Johnny. She feels like she needs protection and now believes she's standing up for other domestic violence victims ... especially when the perpetrator is rich and famous.

Dustin Diamond, from "Saved by the Bell," violated his probation by failing a drug test ... TMZ has learned.

According to docs ... Screech's urine tested positive for oxy during a test administered last month. Diamond told his parole officer he'd recently taken "a painkiller" for a toothache -- but he also admitted to not knowing what kind it was ... because it was an old prescription.

That's his story, he stuck to it ... and that's why he got thrown in jail for the violation. Diamond was released after 2 days behind bars.

He told cops he's "cleaned out" his medicine cabinet.

Muhammad Ali's memorial service was punctuated by emotional and humorous stories about his life ... as told by his family and famous friends.

Billy Crystal was a close friend and told the packed arena in Louisville about the first time they met ... and how Ali reacted to Crystal's impression of him.

Many, many others spoke during the nearly 4-hour long ceremony. A scruffy Crystal joked, "I was clean shaven when this started."

Ali's widow, Lonnie ... 3 of his daughters ... Sen. Orrin Hatch and Bryant Gumbel also shared their memories.

President Bill Clinton delivered the final eulogy of the memorial, talking about the one thing Ali never got enough credit for -- his intelligence.

Sylvester Stallone's training and weight loss show, "Strong" was jacked from the mind of a personal trainer ... according to the suit the guy just filed.

Robert Fletcher says he created a show called "America's Next Great Trainer" and shopped it around Hollywood in 2014. He says he sent his pitch materials to Stallone's publicist, and also to agents at William Morris Endeavor ... which reps Stallone.

Fletcher thinks it's no coincidence that in early 2016 he started hearing about "Strong" -- the NBC show that lists Sly as one of its executive producers.

"Strong" features male and female trainers competing in various physical challenges -- and in his suit, Fletcher says that's almost a carbon copy of his show idea.

He says it's also fishy that one of the "Strong" trainers is a guy named Todd Durkin. Fletcher says Durkin was attached to 'ANGT' ... but went radio silent in 2015.

He's suing Stallone, NBC, Durkin and other "Strong" producers for at least $7 mil.

Chris Brown was hauled into a police station in Amsterdam for riding a dirt bike without a helmet and tags.

Amsterdam police tell TMZ the singer was pulled over Friday in the Red Light District after cops say they noticed he didn't have a license plate for the bike. That's a big no-no. We're told cops had Chris follow behind them to a station where he paid his fine.

Chris posted a vid while he was inside the station -- 'fessing up, but explaining it wasn't all bad. Actually, compared to his most recent run-in with cops ... he seems downright mellow.

Hmm ...

Give Alessandra Ambrosio's Malibu photo shoot a quick glance and you'd think she's giving her lady parts a breath of fresh air ... in public.

Now look closer. Yeah, sorry -- the Victoria's Secret model was mostly covered below the belt. As much as a thong can cover, anyway. The shoot was reportedly for a perfume ad.

A man was shot by police Friday afternoon outside the baggage claim area at Dallas Love Field Airport ... according to multiple reports.

A witness posted graphic video on Instagram showing an officer with his gun drawn. At least nine shots were fired as a gathering crowd scattered for cover. The suspect was taken to a hospital. His status is unknown.

An official said the incident began as a domestic disturbance when the man attacked a car with a rock. When police arrived, the suspect rushed at the officer prompting the shooting. The FBI is also on the scene.

Story developing ...

Amber Heard is not available to have her deposition taken before her big domestic violence trial next week ... because she has to fly to London for a 3-day costume fitting.

Johnny Depp's lawyer, Laura Wasser, was in court Friday demanding that Amber show up so she can grill her about the alleged May 21st attack. Amber has not made herself available and that's why Wasser went to court.

Amber's lawyer, Samantha Spector, told the judge Amber is now in New Jersey for her best friend's engagement party, and from there she's flying to London for a costume fitting for her movie, 'Justice League.' Spector said Amber won't be back until next Thursday night, hours before Friday's trial.

Sources connected to Johnny are scoffing, claiming the costume fitting is a lame excuse to avoid having to answer hard questions about the alleged attack. The sources say no one ever mentioned the fitting until Friday's court hearing.

Lawrence Taylor had a bloody gash in the back of his head after the alleged domestic violence incident that lead to his wife's arrest.

'Bachelorette' star Kaitlyn Bristowe and her fiance, Shawn Booth still aren't hitched, but they look like they're practicing for their honeymoon.

The couple are on a romantic getaway in Hawaii .... stand up paddleboarding, drinking and such.

They've been engaged since last July's season finale -- so, as of now, they're one of the rare couples from the show that could actually be the real deal. For now.

10:30 AM PT -- Lawyers for Amber and Johnny are in court, and her lawyer, Samantha Spector, asked the judge to push back the June 17th hearing because she needs more time to prepare. Depp's lawyer, Laura Wasser, fired back the longer this drags on the more it damages her client's career.

Wasser also requested phone records from Amber showing any phone records referencing domestic violence since 2015. It's significant because Johnny's team believes the leaked text messages from Amber's phone are fake or doctored.

Amber wasn't in court ... she's out of town celebrating the engagement of her best friend and witness, Raquel Pennington.

Amber Heard and her lawyers are spending countless hours trashing Johnny Depp in the media, but they're so scared that Amber might ruin her case under oath they're dodging her deposition ... so claims Johnny Depp's lawyer.

Attorney Laura Wasser just filed some interesting documents, claiming Heard and best friend Raquel Pennington claim they don't have a single day available before next Friday's restraining order trial ... to answer questions under oath in a depo.

Wasser drops some info ... according to the docs, lawyers on both sides were talking about sitting down and trying to settle the case. It's possible the settlement would involve each staying clear of the other. It's also possible the settlement would involve money ... Amber's asking for $50k a month in spousal support.

Wasser says just 4 days ago they had planned to have the settlement conference June 10, but that fell apart so Wasser wanted to use the day to take Amber's depo. Wasser says Amber's lawyer suddenly claimed she was not available so the depo couldn't go forward.

Bottom line ... Wasser thinks Amber and Raquel are BSing about not being available ... and if they won't sit for a deposition they should not be allowed to testify at next week's trial.

And there's this shot ... Wasser says, "[Amber] has tried her claims in the media. It is now time to do so in a court of law."

4:50 PM PT -- A station spokesperson tells TMZ Iris "is ok and is understandably taking some time off to recover."

A Telemundo reporter was viciously punched in the head Wednesday on live TV.

Iris Delgado was at the tail end of her live shot at Philadelphia City Hall when a woman sauntered up to her and said, "Excuse me, excuse me." It's unclear what set the woman off, but the punch is painful to watch. She was punched 3 times and pulled to the ground.

You hear the anchor say, "¡Ay Dios mio!" (Oh my God).

Law enforcement tells us Iris complained of pain to the right side of her head.

The attacker was arrested.

Kevin Hart has some sound and effective advice for Justin Bieber and all other vertically challenged males who find themselves on the receiving end of a punch.

We got the 5'4" actor in NYC Thursday and he has 2 surefire ways to thwart an attack by large men.

A famed director is suing the W, claiming the hotel blocked him from rescuing his husband from suicide.

Norman Buckley, who directed "Gossip Girl" and "Pretty Little Liars," claims in a new lawsuit his husband, Davyd Whaley, had disappeared from their West Hollywood home in 2014 and checked into the W in Hollywood under an alias.

Buckley says Davyd was suffering from PTSD and paranoia and the hotel could tell at check-in something was terribly wrong. Buckley says Davyd appeared, "nervous, scared and fidgety."

According to the lawsuit, Buckley saw a credit card charge from the W and called the hotel, saying he was Davyd's husband and this was an emergency situation and Davyd needed his meds, STAT.

Buckley claims the hotel was unwilling to help ... in fact they wouldn't acknowledge Davyd was a guest.

Buckley eventually got the Sheriff's Dept. to call the hotel, but by then it was too late. Davyd had killed himself in his room, several hours before.

The suit alleges had the W people treated it as a true emergency, Davyd would still be alive.

We reached out to the W. So far, no word back.

8:20 AM PT -- Lamont now says he's NOT the guy who fought Bieber ... even though he totally owned it on Thursday. He says he's been getting death threats from Beliebers and even got fired from his job.

Remember, he posted a video on Thursday talking about the fight. He's now saying he lied, though it's unclear WHY he did so.

Justin Bieber incited the 6'5" man who brawled with the singer by calling him a motherf***** ... this according to the very large guy himself.

Lamont Richmond is the guy with whom Biebs picked the fight. We're told this is how Lamont's story goes ... he'd just left a bar when he saw Justin outside the Westin in Cleveland. Lamont says he and his 2 chick friends chilled with Bieber for a short time.

Check out the photo below. Lamont says he dared to ask Bieber if the women could take a pic and get a John Hancock. Lamont says Bieber snapped back, "No autographs tonight, motherf*****."

Lamont says Justin reeked of alcohol and got all Quien Es Mas Macho on him, "puffing his chest up," and then took a swing. That was enough for Lamont.

You see Lamont restrain Bieber in the video ... and says he's sure, if he went full force, he would have killed him.

We're told Lamont has already met with a lawyer and plans to sue. For what is anyone's guess.

"The Shield" actor Michael Jace will most likely spend the rest of his life in prison for shooting and killing his wife.

The judge handed down the maximum sentence -- 40 years to life -- Friday morning in L.A.

A jury convicted Jace of 2nd degree murder last month. He shot April in the leg and back while they were arguing about divorce in 2014. Their sons were in the house at the time.
