Depp in deep, deep trouble

Johnny Depp seemed the picture of rock star cool as he played guitar onstage in Portugal with his band, the Hollywood Vampires. An ocean away, he is facing serious accusations.

A judge on Friday ordered Depp to stay away from estranged wife, Amber Heard, after she accused the Oscar-nominated actor of repeatedly hitting her during a recent fight and leaving her face bruised.
Depp is reportedly planning to do a sit-down tell-all TV interview in a bid to prove to fans he’s not a wife beater. He now wants to “set the record straight” and prove he’s “not a monster” by giving a full interview as soon as he’s finishing his tour with rock band, Hollywood Vampires.
A source told The Daily Star newspaper: “He is shell-shocked over the events of the last week and is determined to tell his side of the story. His whole life has been turned upside down.”
It is not known who will land the huge TV interview, but in the past he has sat down with the likes of Oprah Winfrey.
Depp appeared on stage puffing a small cigar and playing rhythm guitar to a large crowd that had gathered for a Rock in Rio concert. The 52-year-old was introduced to the cheering audience as “the wings of the vampire” by band-member Alice Cooper.
The restraining order was issued on the day Depp’s latest film, “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” opened in theaters and caps a turbulent week for the star. His mother died May 20 and Heard filed for divorce on Monday. On Friday, she appeared in court with a bruise on her right cheek below the eye, saying Depp threw her cellphone at her during a fight.
Depp has been working steadily for the past few years, but his work has not always connected with the public. His eccentric heist comedy “Mortdecai” was a flop, but he rebounded by playing Whitey Bulger in the hit mobster film “Black Mass.”
Depp has also filmed “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” — the fifth installment of the long-running franchise — and even played Donald Trump in a satirical comedy for the website Funny or Die. Last year, he and the Hollywood Vampires — Cooper and Joe Perry — released their self-titled album.
His new film, “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” a sequel to 2010’s Alice in Wonderland,” has been critically panned and is performing below expectations going into the holiday weekend.
