Amber Heard Finally Shows For Depo
Amber Heard showed up 1 1/2 hours late for her deposition ... where she'll be in a face-off with Johnny Depp's lawyers over her divorce/domestic violence case.
Amber and her lawyer Samantha Spector showed up Saturday morning at the law offices of disso-queen Laura Wasser's firm, Wasser, Cooperman and Mandles, the firm that's repping Johnny in the divorce. Her client wasn't with her and finally, at around 11:30 AM Amber drove up to the front of the building but didn't want to be filmed so she found a more private entrance.
Our sources say both sides tried hammering out a settlement Friday night but negotiations fell apart at around 9 PM.
As TMZ reported, the depo should last all day and the lawyer doing the questioning -- Blair Berk will almost certainly be interested in Amber's domestic violence claims. Berk will pepper Amber with questions over the fact the police officers who responded to the downtown L.A. loft saw no evidence of physical injury and no damage inside the unit.
The deposition will also cover Amber's demand for money in the divorce. The marriage lasted only 15 months.

Amber Heard No Show at Depo
It's becoming apparent ... Amber Heard has violated a court order to sit for a deposition in her divorce/domestic violence case against Johnny Depp ... because an hour after the call time she's MIA.
We're at the building where her depo is supposed to go down. Samantha Spector, Amber's lawyer, showed up at around 10:15 AM. Blair Berk, Johnny's lawyer who is supposed to take the depo, arrived locked and loaded at 9:40.
The depo was supposed to start at 10 AM, but an hour later ... no Amber.
She has put off the depo several times, citing various reasons including movie roles and engagement parties. But this time she made a promise to the judge and judge's don't like to be fooled.
If she doesn't show Johnny's lawyers could go in for a contempt citation.

Amber Heard Top Trial Lawyers Tapped To Grill Actress
10:40 AM PST -- Amber's lawyer is there, but still no Amber.
10:14 AM PST -- The depo was set for 10 AM -- still no Amber.
Johnny Depp's legal team has brought in one of the top trial lawyers in the country to go after Amber Heard in today's deposition -- Blair Berk.
Berk just showed up to the law offices where the depo is scheduled to be taken. The call time for Amber is 10 AM but so far she's nowhere to be seen.
Depositions are all about cornering a hostile witness, getting them to squirm over weaknesses in their case.
In Amber's situation, there is no doubt Berk will hone in on her claims Johnny brutalized her, yet responding cops saw no evidence of injuries or damage to the downtown L.A. loft.

Britney Spears Version 1 of New Music Vid Too Sexy or Just Pointless?
Britney Spears rejected the music video commissioned for her new song, and there's a dispute over why it was 86'd.
Famed photographer/director David LaChapelle was at the helm of the video for "Make Me ..." Sources connected with LaChapelle tell TMZ Britney's team rejected the video because they felt it was too sexy.
We got a very different story from our Britney sources. We're told the team was extremely disappointed with the video because it was utterly disjointed ... pointless with no story line.
Gotta say ... when you watch a clip from the video, it's hard to follow.
Britney's people went to Randee St. Nicholas for another stab at the video, and this one has a clear beginning, middle and end.

They're dropping like flies on "Bachelor in Paradise" -- Amanda Stanton and Josh Murray just couldn't resist blowing their secret and going public as a family ... cause they're getting married!
This is where we should probably say spoiler alert, but what the hell -- sources close to the couple tell us Josh ends up popping the question, and Amanda says yes. Only one episode of 'BiP' has aired this season -- and all participants are supposed to lay low ... so they don't ruin story lines.
We're told Josh and Amanda wanted to stay undercover until the finale, but just couldn't stay holed up because her 2 kiddos were getting anxious -- so they hit up the Orange County Fair Thursday night.
Josh is living with them in the OC, but our sources tell us they plan to buy a place in Atlanta.
We broke the story ... another 'BiP' couple, Lace and Grant, were spotted hanging out the day before the show even premiered.

O'Shea Jackson Jr. doesn't believe in violence, but thinks God sometimes resorts to such tactics when a mere mortal needs to be taught a lesson.
We got O'Shea out at a celeb basketball event at LA Live Friday, and our photog asked about George Zimmerman calling 911 and claiming a guy in a Florida bar called him a "n***** lover" and then punched him in the face.
O'Shea has an amusing theory on why someone might think Zimmerman's a fan of black people.

'LHHA' Star Karlie Redd Slapped With Restraining Order But Claims He's the Perv!
"Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta" star Karlie Redd has been ordered to stay 200 yards away from a rapper/promoter who claims she freaked out on him and stole his stuff.
Cops tell TMZ ... Christopher Powe -- aka Pharaoh -- filed a report saying he and Karlie had a lover's spat early Thursday in an Atlanta hotel room and she went nuts, threatening to tell people he raped her.
Sources close to Powe claim Karlie was drunk, and went off on him when he tried to leave the room. That's when she locked herself in the bathroom, and threatened to flush his stuff -- including 2 phones.
Powe says he bolted and went to get hotel security, but when they got back ... Karlie had taken off and left his belongings in the room safe.
Her rep admits Karlie locked herself in the bathroom, but only to protect herself from Powe. The real twist here -- she's claiming she caught him trying to take pictures of her sleeping, and he's only lying to cover it up.
Karlie will be back in court to fight the restraining order later this month.
