Johnny Depp is in the the throes of a legal battle that sounds super boring at first, but has yielded some very interesting - and very credible - information about the actor's personal life.
Depp is suing his former management team, TMG, alleging that the group mishandled his funds and allowed him to spend himself to the brink of financial ruin.
As you may have heard, Johnny Depp has some money problems.
In fact, some have gone so far as to claim that Johnny Depp is broke.
Johnny Depp owes many people an apology:
Just a few weeks ago, it seemed impossible to believe that Johnny Depp would make a worse career decision than starring in Pirates of the Caribbean 5.
Then the actor flew to England to take part in the Glastonbury Film Festival.
Say this about Johnny Depp:
He knows how to distract the public from a critically-lambasted movie.
Johnny Depp isn't having the greatest 2017.
Now, everything is relative, and Depp still owns a private island, so it could be a lot worse.
In case you haven't heard, Johnny Depp is broke.
Mind you, we don't mean he's munching on mayonnaise sandwiches and cliping coupons.
Over the recent holiday weekend, you may have seen the occasional headline about Pirates of the Caribbean 5 making a "boatload of cash" or finding "box office gold."
Truth be told, the movie did better than expected overseas, but actually underperformed in America.
Johnny Depp isn't exactly killing it these days.
Sure, he's still got the private island in the Bahamas and he probably woke up this afternoon with two spindly models in his bed, but as he stumbles into his mid-50s, the Tim Burton Frankenstein lab creation is definitely learning to take the good with the bad.
Both personally and professionally, Johnny Depp seems to be in a bit of a slump.
And by "a bit of a slump," we mean we've seen episodes of Intervention that are less depressing than this guy's current press tour.
Any list of the top-tier Hollywood stars of the past thirty years would have to include Johnny Depp.
He anchored one of the most successful film franchises of the 21st Century, and he's been a bonafide screen icon for most of his adult life.
Johnny Depp has money problems.
That might sound like a relatable struggle, but Johnny's financial issues are very, very different from those of the peasantry.
We've all experienced the morning-after remorse that comes with a night of wild Amazon splurging.
But while you might still regret dropping 300 bucks on that thing that was supposed to sculpt your abs while you sleep, at least you can take comfort in the knowledge that you never spent as recklessly as Johnny Depp.
If you're a celebrity, it's not generally not a good thing if your finances are in the news.
Sure, there's the occasional story about a record-breaking payday for an actor or athlete, but generally, when the whole world is talking about your bank account, it's because they can't fathom how someone who started with so much wound up with so little.
Back in February, we reported that Johnny Depp is going broke after spending his money on what we then described as "weird-ass sh-t."
In addition to the usual rich guy splurging (Sources say Depp spent $30,000 a month on wine.), there were some truly bizarre expenditures, such as a $3 million ash cannon to shoot the remains of his friend Hunter S. Thompson into the atmosphere.
If you follow his career, or if you've simply lived on planet Earth in recent years, then you're probably aware that Johnny Depp is sort of a weird guy.
Not "invites Macaulay Culkin over to check out the Elephant Man's bones" weird, but weird, nonetheless.
You may not have noticed - what with the foundations of American democracy crumbling at your feet, and all - but it's been an interesting few weeks in the life of Johnny Depp.
(Hey, someone still has to deliver the celebrity gossip! You want all Trump, all the time, you can go to ... just about every other website on the Internet that doesn't have "porn" in the title.)
Johnny Depp has been having a rough time lately.
His divorce from Amber Heard made headlines for months; his movie career - once one of the most lucrative in the industry - has produced one middling semi-hit (2015's Black Mass) in the past 6 years, and now his desperate financial situation is the talk of Tabloid Town.
As we reported earlier this week, several sources are claiming that Johnny Depp is flat broke, as a result of years of extravagant spending on incredibly posh luxury items.
Some of his financial woes are the result of his wildly expensive divorce from Amber Heard, which has cost the actor than $7 million in settlement cash, to say nothing of what he was forced to fork over in terms of assets and legal fees.
We've all been there:
Money's a little tight, but a friend of yours recently passed away, and his ashes aren't gonna blast themselves out of a giant sky cannon, ya know?
