FURTHER EVIDENCE THAT AMBER HEARD WAS RIGHT ABOUT JOHNNY DEPP!

It’s the recent lawsuit filed by a location manager on the set of a movie Johnny Depp was filming that clearly illustrates what Johnny Depp has become. While shooting City of Lies, the location manager arranged for overtime shooting at a downtown location because Johnny wanted two friends included in a scene. The location manager is responsible for obtaining permits and obeying city laws and the shoot time could not be further extended. Depp had been drinking and chainsmoking on the set all day, and nobody wanted to confront him – especially the director. He told the location guy to inform Johnny that time was up. When the location manager told Johnny that they had to wrap the scene, Johnny punched him twice in the ribs after screaming “Who the f—are YOU? You have no right to tell ME what to do!” The egotistical and petulant Depp then challenged the location manager to punch him in the face and said he’d give him $100,000. Depp was removed from the set by his bodyguards. Later the director, along with producers, COVERED UP for Johnny by minimizing the disgraceful incident. This cover-up, which happens so often in Hollywood, is even more toxic than Depp’s behavior – especially in the light of #MeToo. Lately the self-indulgent Johnny has been blaming everyone else for his problems- money managers, ex-wives etc – but he has clearly evolved into a monster. Again, we say Amber Heard was right.

FOUR HOLLYWOOD WOMEN ARE FIGHTING TO SAVE KOREAN DOGS

Four Hollywood actresses showed up at LA’s Consulate General of the Republic of Korea building to convince South Koreans to ban using dogs for food. (And we love them for that!) Kim Basinger, Priscilla Presley, Donna D’Errico, and EG Daily had plenty of depressing ammunition (posters etc) to illustrate their point. The pictures are difficult to look at – the cruelty of raising dogs for food is appalling. Apparently, NO actors showed up to draw attention to the dogs’ plight.

THERE’S A GOOD CHANCE BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY WILL ROCK YOU!

Seems like we’ve been waiting FOREVER to see the Freddie Mercury story, Bohemian Rhapsody, and it finally has a release date in the fall. Original Queen band members (and producers) Brian May and Roger Taylor have been struggling to get this movie made – directors came and went, and the script was rewritten numerous times. Sacha Baron Cohen was ALMOST cast as Freddie, but left claiming “creative differences” –word leaked out that Cohen wanted an “adult film” and the Queen guys wanted “family friendly.” RAMI MALEK stepped in as Freddie, and had to learn to talk and sing with the huge prosthetic teeth he had to wear to resemble the singer. The fake teeth DID help Rami to look surprisingly like Freddie, according to the trailer…

HOW DID THEY TALK CHER INTO PLAYING MERYL STREEP’S MOTHER IN MAMMA MIA: HERE WE GO AGAIN?

Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again had an impressive premier in London with all the stars – old and new. The crowd gave Cher a particularly loud ovation- she plays Meryl Streep’s mother in the film – and she’s only three years older in real life! (Back in the day, Meryl and Cher costarred in Silkwood.) This follow-up of the original 2008 movie goes back in time with Downton Abbey’s Lily James playing Meryl Streep‘s character as a young girl. Cher confessed she was afraid her voice was all wrong to sing Abba songs, but it all worked out, and she pulled on her best Goth look for the opening night.

BRUCE WILLIS HAS THREE DAUGHTERS IN RECOVERY

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s three daughters were in the audience for Bruce’s Comedy Central Roast and they reportedly laughed the loudest at the jokes about their dad. The sisters admit they all grew up feeling self-conscious due to bullies making comments that they weren’t as attractive as their mother. And recently they admitted they are all in recovery for various alcohol, drug, and eating disorders. Rumer, 29, has been appearing on the Empire series while her sisters have been dabbling in acting and behind–the-scenes jobs in wardrobe and art departments.

CYBILL SHEPHERD WAS THE FIRST ACTRESS TO WEAR SNEAKERS TO THE EMMYS IN 1985

Comedy Central’s Bruce Willis Roast airs on the network July 29 and it brought out some familiar faces. She hasn’t had a conversation with Bruce for 30 years, but that didn’t stop his Moonlighting costar Cybill Shepherd, 68, from showing up. The comedy series Moonlighting aired from 1986 to 89 and propelled Bruce to stardom and made a bigger star of ex-model Shepherd. He was working as a New York bartender when Willis landed the role, and to put it mildly, success went straight to his head. Bruce and Cybill’s bratty behavior on the Moonlighting set was feverishly documented by the tabloids at the time, and we’re not surprised that they haven’t spoken for thirty years…

TOM CRUISE STILL WANTS THOSE EXTRA INCHES

Tom Cruise is home in London promoting his new Mission Impossible movie and signing autographs. It appears that his daughter Suri was not invited to the premiere. One thing never changes – Tom is wearing some new elevator shoes with built-in lifts that make him even taller than the old ones he bought in Beverly Hills…

FRENCH FILM “CUSTODY” IS THE SCARIEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR

During a summer of testosterone-fueled supermovies, it’s almost hard to remember what a really good film looks like. The subtitled French movie Custody is one of the most amazing movie experiences we have ever had. A few weeks ago we saw what was supposed to be a “scarey” movie, “Hereditary,” but it turned out to be silly and a huge disappointment. Custody tells the story of a REAL LIFE situation and THOSE can be far more frightening than monsters or ghosts. This brilliant and subtle movie starts off documenting an ”ordinary” divorcing couple and slooowly builds up to a shocking and unbelievably frightening finale. (It could happen to YOU!) When it was over, the audience was visibly shaken – and many were in tears. Need we say more? (Opens today)

NAOMI WATTS AND LIEV SCHREIBER’S SEPARATION IS A SUCCESS

Soooo… Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber’s split after 11 years together has worked out rather well. They have two children and at first their separation in 2016 looked like it might be not so friendly. Liev, 50, was cavorting with a 25 year old beauty queen (Miss South Dakota) and playfully calling her a nanny. Luckily, Naomi started filming Gypsy for Netflix and fell for her leading man Billy Crudup – they are both 49. Gypsy was canceled, but Naomi and Billy are still together, and she and Liev are successfully co-parenting and on friendly terms.

EMMY NOMINEE SANDRA OH GOT HER JUST DESSERTS – AND IT’S ABOUT TIME!

SO happy to see Sandra Oh become the first Asian woman to get an Emmy nomination for Leading Actress in Killing Eve! It so happens that the Killing Eve BBC series is a female led project with an amazing script about two women for a change – the men are all secondary characters. It’s interesting to note that Sandra said her character was NOT written for an Asian female – just a woman- and she was surprised to be invited to audition. Sandra pointed out how that NEVER happens – her ethnicity had always limited the roles she could audition for – thanks mostly to white men, of course. Our only Emmy complaint is that the brilliant Jodie Comer from Killing Eve (above, left) was not nominated – when you watch the series, you’ll see what we mean…
