Lawsuit Alleges that Johnny Depp Spends $2 Million a Month

in Scandals by

Now the fact that Johnny Depp didn’t want to give Amber Heard her money from the divorce settlement, makes a lot of sense. In the ongoing lawsuit with his ex-business managers, they have now alleged that Depp spends somewhere in the ballpark of $2 million a month on his extravagant lifestyle. This allegation is in response to the fact that Depp sued his former business partners last month for $28 million for the mismanaged of his money. But they allege that he mismanages his own money.

So what exactly is Johnny spending his money on? The list seems too crazy to be true. Here is a rundown from the lawsuit of what he spends his money on:

  1. Depp allegedly also spent over $18 million on a luxury yacht.
  2. Maintains 45 “luxury vehicles”.
  3. He spends about $30,000 a month on “expensive wines that he had flown to him around the world for his personal consumption.”
  4. The craziest expenditure would be this one: “Depp also paid over $3 million to blast from a specially-made cannon the ashes of author Hunter Thompson over Aspen, Colorado.”
  5. The lawsuit also says that,”Depp spent in excess of $75 million to acquire, improve and furnish 14 residences, including a 45-acre chateau in the South of France, a chain of islands in the Bahamas, multiple houses in Hollywood, several penthouse lofts in downtown Los Angeles, and a fully-functioning horse farm in Kentucky.”
  6. Depp has amassed a collection of fine art kept in 12 different storage facilities.
  7. He also spent $4 million on a failed record company.

If these allegations are true, Depp has super poor money management skills. He makes a ton but it looks like he spends a crazy amount per month. But all that wine? Spending 30k on wine a month is bonkers. I mean, how much does he need to drink a month? It is a surprise that Disney keeps the Pirates franchise going because Depp just seems like a hot mess right now. Well this lawsuit is getting interesting, so it will be interesting to see the end result.

 

Grammy Drama- Major Music Celebs Boycotting the Award Ceremony

in Scandals by

bieber-kanye-drake-grammy-boycottSome big names in music are looking to skip the Grammys this year and it is because they believe that the Grammys are no longer “relevant” or “representative” of today’s music culture. Names like Drake, Justin Bieber and Kayne will most likely not be in attendance this year. Sources close to the singers say that the artists “have other plans” and will not be going to the show.

The Grammy boycott all began with Frank Ocean. He didn’t bother to submit his critically acclaimed album Blonde for consideration by the Recording Academy and it is because that he believes the Grammys are old fashioned and they don’t represent the young, black artists. A source close to Ocean said, “It’s not like the Oscars… there’s no real anger, it’s just that a lot of younger singers think the Grammys are out of touch and arguably irrelevant.”

Ocean went on to say that, “It just doesn’t seem to be representing very well for people who come from where I come from, and hold down what I hold down.” He added: “I think the infrastructure of the awarding system and the nomination system and screening system is dated.”

TMZ reported that Justin Bieber who has 4 Grammys, has plans to be elsewhere. There was no elaboration on where but just not at the Grammys. TMZ said, “As for why, we’re told he just doesn’t think the Grammys are relevant or representative, especially when it comes to young singers.” Drake has 8 nominations but has no plans currently to show up at the Grammys and it was reported that he will be on tour in Europe. And as for Kayne, who’s got 8 nominations, also has no plans to show up for the awards show. Kayne has been notoriously outspoken about his thoughts and feelings about the awards show, so it will be interesting to see if he makes a public statement about a potential absence.

There is a chance that these artist might actually show up but as of right now, there does not seem to be a lot of interest from artists about this upcoming Grammys.

in Scandals by


Former O.C. star and Dancing with the Stars Alum, Mischa Barton, has been released from the hospital after submitting herself this last week. While celebrating her birthday on the 25th of January, someone slipped GHB into her drink. Soon after, police had received calls from her neighbors stating the Barton was in her backyard ranting and raving about the end of the world and her mother being a witch. When police arrived at the scene, they found Barton somewhat coherent and asking to be taken to the hospital.

GHB, commonly known as a “date rape drug,” is also depressant that is sometimes slipped into the drinks of unsuspecting victims. It was discovered that it had been slipped into her drink while she was out partying with some friends. In a statement to People, Barton said, “On the evening of the 25th, I went out with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday. While having drinks, I realized that something was not right as my behavior was becoming erratic and continued to intensify over the next several hours. I voluntarily went to get professional help, and I was informed by their staff that I had been given GHB. After an overnight stay, I am home and doing well,” the statement continued. “I would like to extend a big thanks of gratitude to the professionals at Cedars-Sinai for their great care and professionalism. This is a lesson to all young women out there, be aware of your surroundings.”

Barton want this to be a lesson to all women out there who go out partying, be aware of your surroundings and be careful of your drinks. Barton thankfully made it home safe and sound before being taken to the hospital where she was evaluated. Just a reminder, never take drinks from strangers and always be aware of where your drink is at. We are glad to hear that Mischa is better and at home resting.

90 Day Fiancé Star, Jason Hitch, Arrested for Domestic Battery

90_Day_Fiance_Ron_Cassia_Jason_El_CaminoAnd we actually thought that this crazy couple was actually going to make it. But it turns out, Jason Hitch and his wife Cassia do not seem destined for a K-1 visa happily ever after. It was reported previously that this couple’s relationship was on the rocks but it seems to have really exploded this last week. Jason was arrested on January 23 at the home he shares with Cassia for domestic battery.

Radar Online obtained the incident report from that night and it reports the details of how the night unfolded. In the report, Cassia goes by her first name Rita. The report states, ““Rita Hitch and her husband, Jason Hitch, began arguing over marital issues while lying in bed,” the reporting officer wrote. “Jason then grabbed Rita by her left arm, leaving a mark and then pushed Rita off of the bed causing her to fall to the floor. Jason then began screaming at Rita to the point Rita was in fear and dialed 911 for law enforcement.”

Jason then continued to yell at Cassia and then told her to sleep on the couch. He grabbed her arm so hard that it left a mark and the officer noted that Cassia had some redness above her elbow. When the officer asked Jason about his version of the events, Jason denied any knowledge of the mark on Cassia’s arm. Jason told the officer that “nothing happened” and Cassia was being “rude and refused to sleep on the couch.” The officer also said that, “I asked Jason if he pushed Rita off of the bed and Jason stated he moved the mattress, which caused Rita to fall off the bed,” the report read. “Jason refused to fill out a sworn written statement with what he stated occurred.”

Jason did an exclusive interview with Radar Online earlier this month that Cassia has moved out before Thanksgiving but that they were still married. He blamed the lack of communication and her tendency to spend a lot of money for the reason for the split. He said that the time they were visiting a therapist about once a week to help work through the issues. Looks like the therapist is going to have to put in overtime with this couple.

Jason was arrested for domestic battery and transported to Hernando County Jail that night and his court date is February 15 at 9am.

 

Animal Abuse Controversy over the Movie A Dog’s Purpose

in Scandals by

 Oh man we really were ready to watch this movie and cry our eyes out over this movie about dogs. But, TMZ just released some behind the scenes footage of a particular scene in the movie that shows a German Shepard being visibly forced into churning water against his will. The leaked footage shows a scene shot in a pool outside Winnipeg, Canada in November 2015. The trainer is clearly forcibly shoving a German Shepherd into the rushing water and the dog is resisting and clawing the edge in desperation.

The footage has caused a huge uproar and animal rights activists are up in arms and are asking people to boycott the film. Sources on set say that ultimately the dog went into the rushing water which was created by 8 outboard motors which was meant to create a raging river for a scene in the movie. Sources also said that the director, Lasse Hallström, was present the whole time.

Amblin Partners and Universal Pictures have seen the video and released a statement to TMZ that said, “Fostering a safe environment and ensuring the ethical treatment of our animal actors was of the utmost importance to those involved in making this film and we will look into the circumstances surrounding this video.”

The clip caused the American Humane Association to suspend the rep they had on set in Winnipeg. The AHA and the Chief Veterinary Office of Manitoba are also doing their own investigations to see what happened during that scene and why the dog was being forced against his will to jump into the water. PETA is asking for a boycott, and the premiere of A Dog’s Purpose was canceled, and so was its press junket in wake of the leaked footage.

Many people in the movie have spoken out about the video. The movie’s producer Gavin Polone wrote a long piece for The Hollywood Reporter about the video and he admits that what happened in the clip is inexcusable, but adds that the video is highly edited and makes it look like Hercules was thrown in and almost drowned. He also went on to say that he reviewed the footage again and he says that when the Shepard went into the water he did it of his own accord. He also called out the person who sold the photo to TMZ saying that if they truly cared then they would not have profited from the incident. Dennis Quaid, who stars in the movie, says that he never saw mistreatment of animals. He said that, “I was there. I never saw any abuse of any animal. If there had been, I would have walked. I certainly would have not been out here supporting the film if any abuse had occurred.”

After watching the video, we have a hard time believing that the dog wanted to go into the water on its own. He looks absolutely terrified and we completely understand why PETA wants to the movie to be boycotted.
