Various outlets have obtained the text of Amber Heard’s restraining order request against Johnny Depp, which was granted. The details of Johnny’s alleged attacks, and of his behavior in general, are chilling. The court documents detail two incidents of abuse (update: another incident is referenced, see this article), each a month apart and the most recent one this Saturday. Johnny allegedly pulled Amber’s hair, threw things at her, and abused her. She states that he threw a cell phone at her this Saturday, hitting her in the eye. Photos of her bruises, including photos taken at her court appearance earlier today, support this. Amber maintains that Johnny has a substance abuse problem and has been abusive to her throughout their relationship:
Amber’s friend also submitted a declaration on her behalf stating that “Many times over the past few years, Amber has confided and complained to me about Johnny’s abusing her, both physically and verbally.”
Some people are saying they don’t believe Amber based on the fact that the police found no evidence of a crime. Bruises take some time to appear, and Amber chose not press charges or provide a statement to police. She’s married to an incredibly famous man and she’s an actress, she probably weighed her options at a time when she was under extreme stress and decided not to bring attention to the situation.
People Magazine has more photos of the scene and of Amber’s injuries which were submitted to the court. After seeing the photos of Amber’s injuries, and of how distraught she was outside of court, I absolutely believe her.

It’s interesting when People Magazine runs a story that tries to combat what the tabloids have been saying for weeks. When People runs it, it comes with a publicist’s approval to some degree. So take this bizarre story on Jennifer Garner and her kids for what it is – a confirmation that Jennifer Garner was in West Virginia with her kids this weekend and then spent her anniversary with her husband.
We previously heard from People Magazine that Ben bought Jennifer some incredible jewelry for their anniversary. So now they’re running a follow-up with a little blurb about how Jennifer flew to Detroit to be with him to celebrate the day. Is this a tacit acknowledgement that they’re having problems? It’s just somewhat worrisome to me, particularly that it’s in People. It could be nothing though.
Jennifer Garner jetted back to her hometown for a low-key trip this weekend – before flying solo to see husband Ben Affleck for their anniversary.
Garner, 42, visited Charleston, West Virginia, where she relaxed with her family and surprised local fans. After grabbing dinner with friends Thursday night, the Draft Day star stopped by her alma mater, George Washington High School, on Friday. The next evening, Garner was spotted enjoying a minor league baseball game with her parents, sister and three children: Violet, 8, Seraphina, 5, and Samuel, 2.
The group cheered on the West Virginia Power to victory as spectators Tweeted their excitement at seeing the actress return to her roots. (She even posed with the team’s mascot!)
But Affleck, who has been in Detroit shooting his role as the Caped Crusader in Batman vs. Superman, was nowhere to be seen.
Though his gambling has been making headlines, sources say he and Garner are still going strong.
“She never understood his gambling obsession and she doesn’t want him to be in the news [for it],” one insider “told PEOPLE of Garner. “[But] she’s the most patient wife ever and is still very much in love with Ben.”
Despite Affleck’s absence from the weekend getaway, the couple celebrated nine years of marriage together Sunday. Affleck, 41, bought Garner jewelry from Barneys in Beverly Hills last week, and she joined him in Detroit after sending their kids and nannies back home to Los Angeles from Charleston.

That’s nice that Garner went to her old high school and to a baseball game. I love this couple and I hope they’re ok. I get the sense that they’re not, considering that they’re trying to make sure there are no cracks in their public image. Ben is gambling heavily and maybe Jennifer is putting her foot down to some extent despite the public declarations of support. I do think Ben is going through a crisis related to his decision to play Batman, as I’ve mentioned before. This role is not consistent with everything he’s said about wanting to change his career focus. Plus he’s a tabloid fixture again and that’s got be bothering him. I hope I’m wrong, I hope this is just some publicist’s way of countering the gambling stories.

-When are fashion editors going to realize that putting people in headdresses during photo shoots is a terrible idea? Pharrell Williams has apologized for his Elle cover.
-Speaking of stepping in it, Jonah Hill’s apology tour continues. He got choked up about those homophobic comments he made during appearances on both Fallon and GMA. As crappy as his behaviour was (and reportedly can be), at least he’s not shying away from it or blaming the stresses of fame.
-In other news about celebrities being on the defensive, another video of Justin Bieber making racist jokes has surfaced. It’s obviously terrible, but he’s so, so young in it.
-Thank god for the internet. I had lots of confused feelings about that attempted rape scene in the most recent episode of Louie, and am glad everyone’s talking it out. But it still disturbs me that the knee-jerk reaction on Twitter seemed to be that Louis CK can do no wrong. I guess we’ll see if there’s any fallout next week.
-On a much lighter note, here’s everything his Hungarian girlfriend said to him, translated.
-It’s probably not a good sign for the TV industry that an article about this season’s winners and losers is mostly filled with losers.
-They’re not all losers. Game of Thrones’ ratings now rival The Walking Dead with 18 million this season.
–Robert Downey Jr. is producing an ’80s rehab drama. I like all of those words.
–Dina Lohan got her driver’s license suspended yesterday, but she’s not going to jail because the universe sucks.
-Early reviews of the new season of Orange Is the New Black are glowing.
–Amanda Seyfried showcased her rapping skills during a recent interview with the BBC. Seth MacFarlane‘s embarrassed expression is all of us right now.
-A movie I saw at TIFF last year starring Toni Collette is out this week. It’s probably a bad sign that I totally forgot I’d seen it until about halfway through this review.
–Here’s an excerpt from J.K. Rowling’s second detective novel, The Silkworm.
–Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum‘s Jupiter Ascending has been abruptly pushed backfrom its July release date to the movie wasteland that’s Feb 2015. That’s not a good sign. Too bad; the trailer looked intriguing.

As we discussed on Friday, Lucifer’s Homegirl tipped off TMZ that Khloe Kardashian was about to file for divorce. And it totally happened. According to TMZ on Friday, Khloe’s lawyer (Laura Wasser, who represents so many Hollywood women) filed the divorce documents in court Friday afternoon. Apparently, Khloe wants to change her name back to just “Khloe Kardashian” (rather than Khloe Kardashian Odom) and Khloe is not asking for any kind of spousal support or anything. TMZ says Lamar and Khloe had a prenup, and I think everything is pretty cut-and-dry and they didn’t mingle their assets at all during their four-year marriage.
So, are you sad about this? I am a little bit. When they first got together, I didn’t think it would last, but they sort of won me over. I believed that while they moved way too fast, they built a loving marriage for themselves and they seemed like a pretty stable couple for a while. Of course, it all went to hell and Lucifer’s Homegirl is going to find a way to destroy Lamar, I’m sure. As for Lamar and his issues… I don’t even know at this point. Us Weekly’s source claims that “Lamar expected this. He’s fine with it. He just wants it over swiftly and smoothly now. He’s had time to come to terms with it.” Hm. Meanwhile, Lucifer’s Homegirl has already found a new boyfriend for Khloe:
Khloe Kardashian finally filed for divorce from Lamar Odom on Friday after months of preparation. But in addition to meeting with lawyers and putting the couple’s home on the market, RadarOnline.com has learned that she was also nurturing a new relationship that could sustain her post-split: Kardashian has been spotted in recent weeks hanging out with Rihanna‘s ex, baseball star Matt Kemp!
Rumors exploded Thursday night when Kemp posted a picture of the Kardashian family’s Christmas tree in Kris Jenner‘s home. “Best time of the year!! It’s gonna b a Cali Christmas this year,” he wrote.
His fans didn’t miss the hint, and let him know their opinions on a potential Kardashian-Kemp hookup.
“I think @khloekardashian is an amazingly strong & loyal woman,” @raiderliz wrote. “If the rumors are true, enjoy it as long as you both can Everyone deserves happiness <3 Wish you all the best!”
“You are too cute for the Kardashians!” @00caro wrote.
Another user, @justlovepaulina chimed in, “Matt Kemp likes the spotlight just as much as those Kardashian sisters, so his decision to date(?) her is not surprising at all.”
Indeed, Radar has learned that the two have been hanging out for months! Kardashian and Kemp were photographed together in the VIP section of the Drake concert in L.A. on November 25. Days later, they were both at the December 1 John Legend concert at L.A.’s Nokia Theater.
And on December 9, they were both spotted at the Jay Z concert in L.A., which, ironically, Odom also attended. He and Kardashian did not interact, according to reports.
[From Radar]
I remember Matt Kemp from when he dated Rihanna – remember that? It was just a few months after Rihanna and Chris broke up for the first big time (after Breezy almost killed her) and Rihanna seemed to be looking for someone stable and no-drama, and Kemp was it. I forget how it ended, but my guess is that Rihanna dumped him for being TOO stable (girl loves her dramz). Anyway, I remembered him because I thought he was CUTE. Like, seriously cute. I kind of want to have his babies, so I hope Khloe does get on that.
You know how Kanye Westproposed to Kim Kardashian at that baseball field or whatever and used a Lana Del Rey song as part of his great production? Well, there have now been tabloid reports that Kanye wanted Lana to perform the song live but that she said no thanks. I could see why that would maybe be the case, but apparently it’s just not true!
From TMZ:
“I would never deny his request. That’s not true.”
A woman of few words, that Lana Del Rey! Here’s a video of it in case you really needed to see it:
To be honest, I’m surprised Kanye didn’t perform at his own proposal. That seems like something he would do! Anyway, I don’t think Lana missed out on much – nothing she couldn’t catch up on via that video that Kimye are suing over now, anyway.
What do you think – did Lana actually refuse? Was she never asked? I’m going towards the latter on this one.
Well, I guess it must be love for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, because Kimmy sure wasn’t willing to take Kris Humphries‘ last name after they tied the knot (not that I blame her). However, when it comes to marrying Kanye, She’ll be glad to add another surname to her own.
From E News:
“It’ll be Kim Kardashian West. Not hyphened. Maybe make [Kardashian], like, the middle.”
Well, that sounds… special. Also, why is it so hard for this girl to form sentences? She rivals Britney in that department! On another note, I wonder if this is something Kanye insisted upon. After all, they’re already doing whatever he wants for the wedding, so why not?
Also, if you cared to know any more goddamn details about Kanye’s stupid proposal, here ya go:
“I cried afterwards. I was shaking. And when you’re like, Is this really happening? But you’re just shaking…I honestly had no idea, none whatsoever,” the 33-year-old admitted. “I knew we were going to San Francisco for my birthday, because he had a show there the next night. So I thought it was just a birthday dinner.”
“My eyes were closed and then I got up and I still the whole time I didn’t think it was a proposal. I thought it was dinner on the baseball field and we had a nice orchestra. I still didn’t get it…when he got on his knee, I kind of figured out what was going on.”
Why do I not believe that Kim had no idea this was happening? More for the show – literally and figuratively!
Here are some new photos of Kristen Stewart stopping by a Wells Fargo bank yesterday. I was going to go off on how terrible her casual clothes are (and I probably still will do that), but my immediate concern is about her choice in banking! I hate Wells Fargo. I had a Wachovia account and then Wells Fargo bought them out and the changes they made to my account sucked. I’m with Sun Trust now and I love them. Now I’m obsessed with knowing if Kristen’s personal checks have those tacky wagons on them (those are the default checks from Wells Fargo).
As for Kristen’s ensemble… my lord. It’s like she’s TRYING to look awful. I don’t understand how difficult it is for Kristen to find a cute pair of jeans and a t-shirt that fits, and for her to wash her clothes on a regular basis? Why is she still trying to make the whole “t-shirt tied at a knot at the waist” thing a new style trend? Why the Mark Wahlberg-circa-The-Funky-Bunch (FEEL THE VIBRATION) jeans? Why did she do a hair combover and then put a baseball cap on top of that? WHY?!
So, obviously, Kristen is a hot ticket and Robert Pattinson can’t wait to get all up in that armpit. This is THE TRUTH. As spoken to Us Weekly:
There’s still hope, Twihards! Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, who officially split in May, are hanging out again. The pair got together at her LA house August 4 for “a very intense conversation,” a source tells Hot Stuff. (The British actor also visited her home in July.)
“They will probably pick up where they left off,” adds the source. “Rob is obsessed with her.”
And he has a shot at getting his woman back.
“She’s still heartbroken,” adds a pal of Stewart. “She can’t seem to get over him.”
[From Us Weekly, print edition]
See, I believe that she’s “still heartbroken”. I really do. And I have some sympathy for that. What I have a problem believing is that Rob is “obsessed with her.” I’m not trying to insult Kristen, I’m just really struggling to understand how Rob could still be “obsessed” with her? After all of the crap they went through and their seemingly intense and final breakup, would he still want her back?
