How’s this for some late-breaking Friday afternoon news? Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are as close to officially engaged as celebrities can get. Earlier this week, Kaiser mentioned in passing that Amber was spotted wearing a huge sparkler on her “important” finger. People published the photos, which I thought were quite telling. Amber was strategically covering and uncovering her hand. She was obviously wanting us to notice the ring, but she didn’t want to completely give away the goods. She wanted us to talk about it, and I can’t blame her. Most girls do the same thing, even if Amber always wants us to think she’s different from everyone else. Now Us Weekly has received word from an insider that Johnny and Amber are indeed engaged. They’ve been secretly engaged for awhile, apparently. Here we go:
Johnny Depp really did put a ring on it! After Amber Heard was spotted trying to hide some suspiciously flashy bling on her left ring finger earlier this week, fans wondered whether the actress had secretly gotten engaged to her Rum Diary costar. The famously private couple have yet to confirm or deny either way, but sources tell Us Weekly they’re indeed planning to marry.
“The proposal happened a while ago,” one insider tells Us. “She just didn’t wear the ring.” (Celebuzz reported news of an engagement on Thursday.)
The 50-year-old Into the Woods actor first met his bride-to-be on the set of their movie The Rum Diary. They confirmed their relationship in June 2012, shortly after Depp announced his split from longtime love Vanessa Paradis, with whom he has two kids, daughter Lily-Rose, 14, and son Jack, 11.
Since then, the typically private duo have been spotted all over the world together, from Moscow to Japan, where they took Depp’s kids in July. More recently, on Saturday, Jan. 11, the duo appeared at the Art of Elysium’s 7th Annual HEAVEN Gala in L.A., where they held hands and posed for pictures. They also attended the 2014 Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 12.
Later this year, the couple will reunite onscreen in London Fields, a crime thriller based on the 1989 novel of the same name by Martin Amis. Depp has a cameo on the movie, which also stars Billy Bob Thornton, Jim Sturgess, and Theo James.

This is interesting, isn’t it? Johnny hasn’t been married before, and he hasn’t been engaged for decades. He didn’t even marry Vanessa Paradis after they had two children together. He didn’t propose to Kate Moss either, for she surely would have accepted. But Amber has managed to pull off the impossible. Well played.
Also notable? I haven’t mentioned the term “mid-life crisis” until now.
UPDATE: Just Jared has spoken to other sources, who say the ring is only a promise ring given to Amber as a holiday gift. Notice that nobody has actually spoken to either Johnny or Amber’s reps yet.

Kicking off another day of filming, Amber Heard arrived to the set of "London Fields" in Notting Hill on Thursday (September 19).
Looking as though she's ready for a funeral, the 27-year-old beauty donned an all-black ensemble with as she walked the streets of the small town.
When she's not on set for the upcoming flick, Miss Heard is pitching in on promotions for her upcoming film "Machete Kills"
Per the synopsis, "Machete Kills" is about the U.S. government recruits Machete to battle his way through Mexico in order to take down an arms dealer who looks to launch a weapon into space.
Amber is starring alongside Vanessa Hudgens, Sofia Vergara and even Lady Gaga in the upcoming thriller, which is slated to hit theaters October 11th.

Amber Heard received a feature in the September issue of Net-A-Porter’s The Edit magazine, and I’m actually beginning to feel sorry for her at this point. The editorial itself is titled, “Leading Lady,” and the timing is bad considering that this feature was meant to promote Paranoia. The movie itself only grossed $3.5 million on opening weekend (on a $35 million budget) with leading man Liam Hemsworth failing to reach a post-franchise audience. Let’s hope that Amber enjoyed her snazzy, Depp-provided trailer, right? Of course, one could easily argue that Amber didn’t have a hand in this movie’s failure.
Ah well. Amber is still prominently covered in this month’s The Edit, and the journo spends much of the piece emphasizing how Amber supposedly looks younger than her true age (27 years old). The rest of us get the feeling that Amber has been rehearsing her overnight-stardom narrative for over a decade. And that would be a justified feeling because Amber (according to her own story) has been plugging away in Hollywood for approximately 11 years, yet she only started receiving magazine covers when she started dating Johnny Depp. Now Amber has been steadily telling a 10+ year-old story about how she left Texas with a heart of gold and a gun. Here’s The Edit’s new interview with Amber.
On being an intellectual: “Knowledge is my religion. That need for stimuli is a constant in my life.”
On leaving Texas at age 16: “I needed to go. I didn’t have a goal. I was just curious and hungry, and had nothing to lose. I come from the middle of nowhere and grew up with nothing. I remember my biggest hurdle was that I wasn’t yet 18, and it caused some problems — getting a hotel room, for instance. I was on my own. I forged my parents’ name to be on set, because I was a minor, but I was working as an adult. I forged a fake ID too. [My parents] did not react ideally, as you would expect. But they also couldn’t stop me.”
On her bisexuality: “I have had relationships, successful relationships, with men, and I had a great relationship with a wonderful woman. I will never beg for an easy classification or label for that moment in my life, or assume to know what the future holds for me. I have always been always will be just who I am and I will never be fake for anyone.”
Why did she come out as a bisexual? “I am not ever going to be a person who has a desire to expose myself more than I feel. Being a private person made me not want to expose myself any more than I already had. But I also felt I had a responsibility to not appear to be in hiding. I watched people around me succumb to hiding and hiding denotes shame. I feel, and felt, zero shame. We all love who we love; we don’t choose it.”
On her religious upbringing: “Catholic schools do not have a reputation for being breeding grounds for inquiry, or curiosity, but they are the ideal breeding ground for rebellion.”
On the “hoopla” of her current relationship: “If I didn’t want to be scrutinized, I would have just stayed in Texas. It’s way easier to do what people expect of you. As a kid, I would have loved to accept what I was being told in church. In fact, I prayed for that.”
On relationships in general: “I have always had very, very good relationships and good breakups. I have never been part of a situation where there was mistrust, or betrayal. Going into relationships is just as difficult as coming out of them. I have never been in the situation where the two have overlapped. I can’t imagine how difficult that would be.”
Has she arrived? “I have been doing this as the only means to sustain myself for 11 years — my entire adult life. People have been calling me an up-and-comer for 10 years. I would rather be called that than a flash in the pan.”
[From Net A Porter's The Edit]
There really is so much here to discuss, but what stands out most to me is Amber’s denial of any “overlap” between going in and out of relationships. Clearly, Amber is full of crap and can’t get her story straight because there were several tabloid stories last year about how Amber floated between Tasya Van Ree and Johnny Depp before finally settling upon the latter.
Also, does Amber really think she’s the only former Catholic girl “gone bad”? At least she looks good in this editorial. This girl is gorgeous.

Amber Heard is featured in the September issue of Elle (the one with Kate Upton on the cover) to promote Paranoia and (I guess) Machete Kills. She’s pushing this role hard, and she has interviews and shoots in D-Mag, Flare, and Bullett to prove it. But these aren’t exactly high-profile magazines, right?
Now Amber has an editorial in an actual magazine that counts and is somewhat worthy of a girlfriend of Johnny Depp. Of course, Amber doesn’t seem to mind that her A-list man interrupts interviews because — let’s face it — she is an artist, not a celebrity. True artists don’t try to craft their interviews. They just go with the sleepy flow, and if that means Johnny Depp interrupts a talk with a request for breakfast in bed, then so be it. But Elle is treating Amber properly now by describing her as “Hollywood’s new rebel.” Here is a cleavetastic photo and some excerpts:
On her career path:“I try to play characters who are somehow empowered or strong. People want to put me in a wedding dress and make me the object of affection, but I’d much rather shoot the gun and save the world.”
Will she ever marry? “I don’t imagine myself, my work, or my life, fitting into any kind of standardized path. In fact, the idea of there even being a standard freaks me out a lot.”
Why she came out as bisexual:“I didn’t want to look like I was hiding anything. I’m not, as wasn’t ever, ashamed.”
[From Elle]
You hear that, Johnny Depp? Amber likes to play fast and loose, and she doesn’t like to be defined. So you can give her all the Gary Oldman-defying trailers that you so desire, but that doesn’t mean she owes you anything at all. Don’t try to define her unless you’re calling her an ARTIST. Also, she would love a role in the Expendables 3 if you can swing it at this late date.

Amber Heard is still promoting Paranoia, so she covers the September issue of i-D magazine in a spread that is — at the very least — more interesting than her recent Flare cover issue. For i-D, Amber is temporarily back to blonde while looking enigmatic behind her mass of hair (remember, she’s an artist, not a celebrity) and also taking time to whimsically dangle from street lights. I used to wear this same Batman shirt all the time in the 1990s. Nice calf muscles.
Once again in this case of an up-and-coming actor, this magazine shoot isn’t really what we’re here to talk about … nor is the interview, per se. Instead, we’ve got a bit of an Elsa Pataky situation going on here. But in an amusing twist, it’s not Amber who is acting like else Elsa here. It’s her man that does so. The interview takes place by phone, and the journo explicitly mentions that he keeps hearing “a sleepy, familiar voice” that repeatedly pulls Amber away from the (professional) conversation at hand, and “the man rudely interrupting is Johnny Depp.” So much for Amber’s desire to keep her professional and personal lives separate, right? Here are some excerpts:
Don’t ask about Johnny: “I have to fight, tooth and nail, everyday, for my private life.”
She’s always been an outsider: An openly bisexual, drug-curious, fashion-conscious atheist, inspired by Ayn Rand and George Orwell, she did not blend naturally with the “deeply conservative Southern ideals” of rural Texas. “My father didn’t raise me to be a damsel,” she explains. She started ?swinging hard? against her youth, and turned against religion after her best friend died in a car crash at 16. “Texas wasn?t the ideal place to express individualism. I was always told what a woman should be. I realised I was alone, that I didn’t belong there. I felt like I was dying creatively. I craved a place where I could express myself.”
She moved to LA at 17: “I just couldn?t stay in Texas, so I took off. I moved to New York, I travelled Europe, I worked with a fake I.D. It was blind bravery and ignorance. I just wanted to hear the word ‘no.’ By the time I got to LA, I knew nobody, I had no money, I could carry all my possessions on my back. When I think of it now, it seems scary. But I loved it. I had no responsibilities, and I felt incredibly liberated. That was ten years ago. I guess that means I?ve been doing this job, and nothing but this job, for a solid ten years. Wow, where did all that time go?”
[From i-D magazine]
Ten years, huh? I guess by looking at Amber’s IMDb profile, it’s clear that she has been pounding the pavements for that long, but she’s yet to really have a breakthrough role … unless one counts being Johnny Depp’s girlfriend as just that. Does that sound cynical of me to say?

Here are some photos of Amber Heard outside the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” studios on Wednesday, and I am totally feeling her outfit. Amber’s wearing a Michael Kors dress that looks like separates (that low-cut black top and high thigh split really flatter her figure), but it’s really all one piece and belted at the waist. Amber was on hand to promote Paranoia, which is coming up faster that I expected with an August 16 release date. Have you seen the movie’s trailer yet? I’d caution against watching it if you don’t like spoilers because it feels like the entire movie has been condensed into just over two minutes. Spoiling might be a blessing in disguise because it looks like a typical corporate intrigue movie. While there are a lot of high-profile actors involved like Gary Oldman, Harrison Ford, and Richard Dreyfuss, there is no mistaking the studio’s intention to market the film as a Liam Hemsworth star vehicle. Yawn.
At any rate, Amber looked gorge during this appearance, but there’s something different about her that I can’t put my finger on… new teeth? Weird spray tan? Bad eye makeup? I don’t know.
Amber brought her parents (but not boyfriend Johnny Depp) along for the Kimmel interview, and she talked about her Texan father’s smooth move when seeing her off to Los Angeles at age 17: “[He] took out a pearl-handled .38 special and handed it to me and said, ‘Hey baby girl, I got you a pretty one. It don’t got a hammer. So you just pull it right out of your purse!’” Amber has previously discussed her pro-gun stance; she owns “several” of them including a .357 Magnum and has claimed, “I’m a good shot.”
This week’s issue of the Enquirer has an amusing addendum to Johnny’s post-Lone Ranger temper tantrum where he alternately blamed the critics and threatened to retire from acting. Apparently, he now really wants to move to his little Caribbean island and become “a hermit.” Good luck with that, Johnny.
Here’s the video clips of Amber’s Kimmel appearance. Her dad cracks me up.

Taking care of some promotional duties, Amber Heard showed up at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood for ?Jimmy Kimmel Live? last night (August 7).
The ?Rum Diary? dame was in the house to promote her new movie ?Paranoia,? and her mom and dad were even in the crowd to lend their support.
Amber joked that before the shoot, she had no awareness of two of her uber-famous costars- ?Harrison Ford, Gary Oldman, and Liam Hemsworth [are in the film]. They told me who Harrison and Gary were as I was getting there?. They?re legends and it?s an honor.?
?They?re amazing, and I just feel really lucky that I get to work with these pros,? added Ms. Heard. ?Paranoia? hits theaters on August 16th.

I’m not sure what Amber Heard was doing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, unless it was to promote what a hottie she is. In which case, let’s keep the PR tour going with this nice leg show. Now, to thank me for the free promotion, Amber can dump that loser she’s dating and go out with

Amber Heard covers the September issue of Flaunt magazine, and for such a gorgeous girl, magazines really don’t know what to do with her. This shoot is worse than Amber’s recent cheap-looking Bullett spread because Flaunt has managed to make her look lifeless. Clothing by Marc Jacobs, Jason Wu, Gianni Versace (vintage), and Christian Louboutin has never looked so lackluster.
The interview is slightly more interesting though because Amber has a bit of a chip on her shoulder, to say the least. Sure, she’s not the typical starlet who shares everything with the world for publicity’s sake, but Amber honestly seems pretty pretentious in this interview. Off the top of my head, I’m trying to recall her performances in various movies, and she usually doesn’t make much of an impression on me. Like, she was okay in The Stepfather remake and All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, and she was decent as an infected brain-eater at the beginning of Zombieland. But otherwise, she’s forgettable. I’ve watched every single episode of “Californication” and don’t remember seeing her at all, but anyway. This journo makes special mention that Amber drives a powder-blue ’68 Ford Mustang, which leads me to believe that she’s quite fond of both antique cars and antique men. Is that a low blow? I don’t know.
She doesn’t have a driver: “At a certain point, you just have to say, OK, I?m not going to let other people dictate how I run my life.”
Don’t ask about Johnny Depp: “It’s not part of my professional life. I want to be an artist. I don’t want to be a celebrity.”
How she keeps a low profile: “You think I?m going to tell someone in the media my strategies for staying out of the media?”
Don’t ask about her looks either: “Someone will ask me a question about my looks, like something about my hair, and then in the magazine it sounds like I came in and said, ‘You know, what I’d really like to talk about is my hair.’”
Why she hated modelling: “No one was interested in my opinion.”
She prefers horror over romcoms: “At least the female characters in horror movies fight back and do something for themselves. They’re not just sitting around waiting for a man to save the day.”
On Paranoia: “Paranoia was an interesting script. I loved how you’re dealing with a lot of old themes like greed and power, but it’s such a modern story. My character basically had to be smart enough to manipulate Liam Hemsworth’s character. Yes, there are sex scenes, but it wasn’t like she was falling at his feet. [The script] doesn?t say that these characters are ‘sexy.’ I?m not picking them because of that. I take roles that are interesting, and scripts that have female characters with depth. I?m working with what I?ve got.”
On Machete Kills: “Robert [Rodriguez] understood why this role was totally perfect for me. She’s a beauty queen from San Antonio, but she’s got this whole other side.”
She carries a gun: “Gun ownership needs to be regulated, not banned.”
Any co-stars with amazing chemistry? “You don?t really expect me to answer that, do you?”
On her bisexuality: “It is so strange to me that everyone cares. Maybe you like blondes now, but maybe you?ll be into a brunette in the future. I just don?t understand this idea that we have to choose one or the other. I guess I could not hold hands with who I want to, but what kind of life would that be? I don?t want to change just because people are watching. I?ve always been the person who says what she wants.”
[From Flare]
I find it interesting that Amber claims to be such an “artist” yet she chose to star with Eddie Cibrian in the short-lived “Playboy Club.” Oh, and she got Johnny to score her a nicer set trailer than Gary Oldman’s, while Gary is obviously the true artist on any film set. Although I do appreciate that Amber waited so long to make an official couple debut with Johnny (they dated for for nearly a year beforehand, depending on whose timeline you believe), but it’s hard to claim that you’re not a “celebrity” when you’re using your boyfriend’s connections to get more perks on the job. You know?

Amber Heard appears in a photospread in the August issue of Bullett magazine, and I can’t help but wonder if she truly is the future Mrs. Johnny Depp. I don’t pass judgment upon Amber for being with Johnny at all. I think he’s a bit of a fool to think that this hot, young, busty blonde is after much more from him than career elevation, but I don’t blame Amber for getting with a dude who can score her a much nicer trailer than Gary Oldman’s. Johnny’s still fairly hot too, so there’s that as well.
Anyway, Amber got herself a huge, massive pictorial in this issue, and she’s looking extra Scarlett-Johansson-y, isn’t she? Some days, I see the comparison more than others, but this time, I’m totally seeing ScarJo, circa 2008. Am I right?
Amber and Johnny are still going strong together, and they were spotted together in Moscow (you can see a photo here at Us Weekly) about a week ago where Amber was wearing the most gorgeous, wine-colored halter dress. According to a friend of the couple, “They are so in love.” I’ll give it up to Amber on landing a star of Depp’s caliber, and I’ll also acknowledge that she usually dresses much better than the clothes Bullett made her wear in this photoshoot.
