Rob Kardashian & Blac Chyna We're Stepping Up Our Crib Game
Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna can see the future ... and it's in a MUCH bigger pad.
The soon-to-be parents are in search mode for a roomier and pricier home ... in the $6.5 million range ... sources close to production tell TMZ.
There's a rub ... Rob wants to live near his family, which is largely ensconced in the Calabasas/Hidden Hills area, but Chyna wants to be further south ... in the Encino area. In L.A. traffic, 15 or 20 miles makes a big difference.
It's interesting ... just 6 months ago Rob plunked down $2.285 million for a 4 bedroom oasis, and it's clearly big enough for 2 adults and a kid, but he wants more "for a growing family."
We're told he won't sell his current house. He wants to rent it out, which means he'll have to shell out a lot of cash for another down payment.
We're told mama bear paid the down payment on the current house and she might do the same for the next ... if he stays close.

DJ Whoo Kid Cuffed On The Job Busted Over Child Support
DJ Whoo Kid had an abrupt exit from work Monday ... after cops showed up and took him out in cuffs.
Nassau County Sheriff's paid Whoo Kid a visit at the SiriusXM office in Manhattan, and nabbed him on an outstanding family court warrant ... law enforcement tells TMZ.
Unclear what the warrant was for -- child support cases are confidential. Sources close to Whoo Kid tell us he had a warrant out for missing a court date ... the computer showed he was also 2 years behind on child support.
When Whoo convinced the judge he was up-to-date on support payments, they let him go.

Amber Heard Let's Try Again for that Depo
Amber Heard just showed up -- again -- for her long-awaited deposition in her divorce/domestic violence case against Johnny Depp. The question ... will she actually testify this time around?
Amber was mum as usual as she arrived with her attorney Samantha Spector to the office building of Johnny's lawyer, Laura Wasser. As we reported, this is the second time Amber showed up at the building. A week ago she made her entrance but never testified -- Wasser says she refused to come in the depo room, and just cried and screamed defiance in another office.
As for today, it's complicated. We know both sides have been talking settlement, and sources connected with Amber say she'll be armed with a proposal when she enters to end the fight. If that doesn't work, the question ... will she actually take the oath this time?

Johnny Depp Goes Off on Amber ... Smashes Wine Glass, Bottle
Johnny Depp went crazy on Amber Heard in their kitchen, throwing a wine bottle and glass ... and she videotaped it.
We're told the video was shot months before the May 21 incident in which Amber claims Johnny struck her.
Amber asks Johnny if he drank a bottle of wine and tries to calm him down. She says she was sorry for something although she was not specific.
Johnny isn't having it, and appears out of control. After throwing the glass and bottle, you see him swiping at Amber's phone ... trying to get it from her.
Sources connected with Johnny tell TMZ ... the video is "heavily edited" and there are portions where Amber is seen smiling and egging him on. The sources add the video was a complete set up by Amber.
It's also likely the tape would not be admissible in court, partly because it's edited but more importantly because it appears he does not know he's being videotaped and she'd have to get his permission. We've learned, however, the tape is specifically entered in an exhibit in Amber's case.

Michael Phelps Yep, This Is It ... I'm Really Retiring

Phelps was doing a livestream with fans Saturday and the question of his return to the games for 2020 came up. This time, Michael was adamant ... he's not coming back.
It's not the first time Phelps has called it quits -- he "retired" in 2012 after the games in London -- but this time, it seems legit.

Demi Lovato I Wasn't Laughing About Zika ... My Mom's Just Funny
Demi Lovato swears a vid posted of her laughing after a comment made by her mom about Zika was in no way poking fun of the virus.

Lovato released a statement Saturday to clarify why she laughed, saying, "In no way did I mean to offend anyone last night. I was laughing at how southern my mom sounded, not the issue at hand. Deepest apologies."

Conor McGregor John Cena's A 'Failed Mr. Olympia Mother F*****'
Conor McGregor continued his all out assault on the WWE, this time going after one of the company's biggest stars ... John Cena and calling him a "failed Mr. Olympia mother f*****."
McGregor did a Q&A at Shine Alternative Fitness in Vegas Friday and made it VERY clear, he thinks today's WWE Superstars are a bunch of "dweebs." However, McGregor really tore into Cena, mocking his bright orange shirts and "you can't see me" catch phrase.
Conor did clear one thing up though, he's got no hard feelings for Ric Flair who put the UFC star on blast last week.
Take a look at the clip to see who else he spares.

Amber Heard I Didn't Release that Video
Amber Heard belatedly arriving back in L.A. Friday, supposedly to sit for her long-awaited deposition Saturday, and she's denying she leaked the video showing Johnny Depp smashing a wine glass and bottle in their kitchen.
Amber said nothing as she arrived at LAX, but issued a statement denying she released the video. She also says she "underestimated the toll" that her divorce saga would take on her and wants to settle up.
If that doesn't happen by 10 AM today she's required to show up for her deposition ... something she was supposed to do yesterday but claimed she had an unspecified "emergency" and couldn't get a flight.
And then there was last week, when she showed up for the deposition but, according to Johnny's lawyers, refused to go into the deposition room as she sat in an adjacent room for 11 hours, at times crying and screaming.
We know the parties have been discussing settlement for weeks and if what we were hearing was true they were close yesterday ... so it's certainly weird the video surfaced last night.

'Making A Murderer' Netflix Blindsided by Judge's Decision Scurrying to Save Sequel
Netflix got an amazing boost from "Making a Murderer" -- so much so it's producing a sequel -- so imagine how much it stung when a judge virtually opened the prison door for Brendan Dassey and producers were totally out of position.
The federal judge who ruled Brendan was wrongfully convicted did not give anyone a heads up, so not only were cameras NOT rolling, the immediate family was out of state, visiting relatives in Michigan.
In fairness to Netflix and producers, the case had been under submission for months, and there was no way to know when a ruling would come down.
The decision represents the critical moment in the sequel ... the payoff for millions who watched the first installment in outrage as Brendan and co-defendant Steven Avery were convicted.
We're told producers are now scrambling to recreate the moment.
Show us ... emotion.
