Johnny Depp Finally Divorced
Man, that took forever! Or maybe it just seemed that way. TMZ reports that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have finalized their divorce. Amber was fighting tooth and nail right up until the end to get more money, but the judge shot her down on Friday, refused her request for more Depp depositions, and told her flat out that she's not getting any more than the $7 million that had already been determined. The judge also denied Depp's $100K sanction against Heard for dragging this shit out for so damn long, and told Heard to pay her own damn legal bills and to stop trying to get Johnny to pay them for her. She gets to keep the dogs, he gets to keep the houses. Here's hoping this is the last that we ever have to hear about these two in the same sentence.

Blind Gossip Exclusive Blind Item - Singer Threatened His Ex
A few years ago, this male singer was unhappy when an ex publicly disclosed that they had had a relationship.
While Male Singer didn’t do much in public except deny the relationship… behind the scenes he threatened the ex!
"When I spoke to him, he told me he wished that I was dead, that he wished that he could kill me, that he wished that I had cancer. He wants to murder me because HE’S a liar? He hates the fact that he can’t rely on me to lie for him, to back up whatever endless lies he told [his wife at the time]. My side of the street is not only clean, it’s fucking sparkling clean!"

The Weeknd Talks Turn-Ons
The Weeknd recently sat down for an interview with GQ; here's what he had to say:
On what makes him horny:
“Right now, I’m much more, like, self-regulating than I was four years ago, when I first started getting everything and enjoying life. I don’t focus on it as much as I used to. You know what I mean? Before, it’s like, ‘Holy fuck—this is amazing.’ Right now, it’s like a good song turns me on way more. Like, that gets me horny, like, literally gets me horny.”
On relationships:
“I feel like I’m the kind of guy that would have kids before getting married. The first thing would be kids. Marriage is scary to me, man.”
On the perception that he is always propositioned for sex:
“I don’t think that’s real...I don’t think it’s like that. I know Leo [DiCaprio] and—when Leo parties, he parties. But when he works, nobody works like this guy...Listen, I’m not walkin’ around like fuckin’ Idris Elba, know what I mean? It’s like…You’ll probably describe me in this fuckin’ thing. I’m not—look at me, this is who I am. I’m not gonna walk into the club and be like, ‘Oh shit, I’m the sexiest guy in here.’ The reason why they want to fuck with me is because of what I do [in the studio]. So I’d rather just focus on doing that.”

Blind Gossip Exclusive Blind Item - Why They Hope Their Show Is a Hit
There is a TV series that is still under consideration for renewal for next season.
Come sit your cute little buns down on the bench next to BG, and we’ll tell you a fun secret about two of the stars of the series!
They are dating!
You won’t see any public signs of their new romance. Perhaps they are saving that for when the show becomes more established? Or for when their two characters have a romantic relationship on the show? That is certainly a possibility.
For now, both the actor and actress are just hoping that their show is enough of a hit that it will be picked up for another season so they can continue to see each other on a daily basis.
Which two stars of the show are we talking about? The female lead… and the male lead!

Lena Dunham Doesn't Care What You Think About Her
Lena Dunham recently sat down for an interview with Nylon Magazine; here's what she had to say:
On self-knowledge:
“I’m realizing more and more as I get older that I’m actually way less self-aware than I thought. Oh, I’ve been in therapy since I was seven. There’s nothing you could say about me that other people wouldn’t know.’ But the older I get, the more I’m like, ‘I don’t fucking know what anybody is seeing when they look at me,’ and the coolest thing is it’s not my problem. That’s an interesting thing. It kind of doesn’t matter. I used to think the worst thing in the world could be for someone to have a thought about you that you didn’t have yourself. Now I’m like, ‘Have at it, guys!’”
On what she would do differently with GIRLS if she had it to do all over again:
“I wouldn’t do another show that starred four white girls. That being said, when I wrote the pilot I was 23. Each character was an extension of me. I thought I was doing the right thing. I was not trying to write the experience of somebody I didn’t know, and not trying to stick a black girl in without understanding the nuance of what her experience of hipster Brooklyn was.”
On not listening to people:
“Sometimes being a creator, and especially being a female creator, is an exercise in shutting people’s voices out, because there are so many who think they understand better than you how to do your job.”
On what she'll do after GIRLS ends:
“I’m probably going to have a nervous crying breakdown. I had a psychotic moment where I was like, ‘I’m going to become a wildlife rehabilitator and a crystal expert.’ My boyfriend was like, ‘No, you’re not.’ I’m like, ‘I’m going to rehabilitate squirrels and owls. And I’m going to educate myself so that I can do crystal healings.’ He was like, ’Good luck with that.’”

Beth Behrs Wrote a Book
2 Broke Girls star Beth Behrs just wrote a book titled The Total Me-Tox: How to Ditch Your Diet, Move Your Body & Love Your Life. Here's what she had to say about the book to People:
On what prompted her to write the book:
“I was eating funnel cakes and doughnuts every day and not working out, and I ended up getting a stress virus rash that covered my whole body. I had to cover it up on the red carpet. I realized I need to make a real change so that I could perform at my best level and also have a great life. It’s definitely a process. It didn’t happen overnight, [and that’s reflected] in the book. It’s very all in moderation. It’s what’s worked for me and how I’ve become happier personally.”
On being inspired by social media:
“When I’d post a photo of a smoothie or a workout or meditating, people are like, ‘What do you do?’ ‘What’s in that?’ They seemed really curious. That made me want to help, and since you can’t respond to everyone personally, it was my way of reaching my fans on a more personal level than you can acting, and sharing my story about being a junk food-obsessed, stressed out, virus-all-over-my-body human to a more a grounded and healthy eater with an overall improved quality of life.”
On her target reader:
“This is for people who don’t even know what kale is or what it tastes like, and who have never heard of SoulCycle. It’s a very not intimidating way to jumpstart a better quality of life. It has changed my life. I’m a very go, go, go person. If I’m not doing anything, if I’m not busy, I tend to freak out. The main gift that meditation has given me is that time to completely slow down. I also suffered from panic attacks for a long time, and it really helped for me that way. But even my acting, my day-to-day interactions with people, through meditation I don’t get so stressed out from those little things that come up.”

Wishing a very happy tenth birthday to the iPhone from me and my family, who I haven't seen in almost ten years.— Tim Siedell (@badbanana) January 10, 2017
Blind Gossip Blind Item - Hanging On Him
This actress has a bit of a reputation for dating her male costars. You might think that this is the reason she has been hanging all over and gushing about a recent costar in every interview while promoting their new film.
Not exactly.
She doesn’t really have anything in the pipeline, and he has a dozen projects that he’s acting in or directing or producing. She wants in on one of those. He can make that happen, so she’s working the promo tour as hard as she can to show that she’s a team player.
She is attractive, talented, well-connected, and has a good agent… so it is a little odd that she doesn’t have anything else lined up.
Keep working those interviews, Girl!
