After winning a high-profile defamation trial last month, Johnny Depp is hitting out at his ex-wife Amber Heard in two scathing new songs on his forthcoming album with Jeff Beck.
In a review of the record, which is scheduled to be released on July 15, by The Sunday Times, the 59-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean actor sings: ‘I think you’ve said enough for one motherf***ing night.'
Another track features him describing a former partner as ‘sitting there like a dog with a seven-year itch’ before he croons: ‘If I had a dime, it wouldn’t reach your hand.’
In June, following his massive victory in his defamation trial against the Aquaman star, 36, Depp confirmed he has teamed up with the legendary guitarist to record a 13-track collection.
Titled 18, the project includes two new originals from Depp and an eclectic mix of cover songs ranging from such iconic artists as the Beach Boys, Marvin Gaye, and John Lennon to alternative rockers such as Killing Joke and The Velvet Underground.
“When Johnny and I started playing together, it really ignited our youthful spirit and creativity. We would joke about how we felt 18 again so that just became the album title too,” Beck, 77, said in a statement about the album, as reported by Billboard.
In keeping with their fond teenage memories that were sparked by the music, the two artists decided to use an illustration of themselves as 18-year-olds, drawn by Beck’s wife Sandra, for the album cover.
For Depp, who grew up listening to Beck’s music, the collaboration is something of a dream come true.
‘It’s an extraordinary honor to play and write music with Jeff, one of the true greats and someone I am now privileged enough to call my brother,’ Depp added in their statement.
Depp is no stranger to music, performing alongside Joe Perry, Alice Cooper, and Tommy Henriksen in Hollywood Vampires.
Last month, a seven-person jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages (which is capped at $350,000), after they ruled that Heard defamed him when she penned a 2018 op-ed in which she described herself as a “a public figure representing domestic abuse.”
But Heard’s lawyers have asked a judge to toss the $10.35 million verdict against her, arguing that one of the jurors — known as Juror No. 15 — may not have been properly screened by the court.
“In this case, it appears that Juror No. 15 was not, in fact, the same individual as listed on the jury panel,” attorney Elaine Bredehoft wrote in a motion obtained on Friday by Deadline. “Ms. Heard’s due process was therefore compromised. Under these circumstances, a mistrial should be declared, and a new trial ordered.”

Ellen DeGeneres has given fans a rare peek inside her new life in rural England, revealing her sleek £24 million (₹257.3 crore) Cotswolds mansion in an Instagram clip featuring her dogs, Sport and Kid. The former talk show host’s video doubled as an unintentional home tour, showing the couple’s glass-walled living space, minimalist furniture and rolling green views that look straight out onto the Cotswolds hills.

Why Ellen DeGeneres’ Cotswolds mansion has everyone talking
The video, posted on Monday, showed Sport darting around the open-plan living area while Kid tried to keep up. “They’ve finally figured it out,” Ellen wrote, adding that the pups have lifted their spirits since losing their older dog, Augie.
Fans were focused on the house, the big windows showing the fields outside, the simple pale concrete walls, and the light wooden floors. You can see a long dining table and a low cream sofa. It’s hard not to notice how calm it all feels, a world away from the bright lights of Los Angeles.
Portia de Rossi’s love of animals was a big reason the couple chose life in the Cotswolds. Their new property includes stables, pastures and even space for their small flock of chickens and sheep. “When we decided to live here full time, we knew Portia couldn’t live without her horses,” Ellen told a BBC interviewer earlier this year.
The pair had initially bought a smaller farmhouse in spring 2024 but sold it months later for around £22.5 million (₹241 crore) after realising it wasn’t quite right. Their new home, built on 100 acres, gives Portia’s horses room to roam and the couple far more privacy.
Ellen DeGeneres’ Cotswolds mansion isn’t just another celebrity retreat, it’s her main home now. The 67-year-old comedian said Donald Trump’s re-election pushed her to make the move permanent. “We’re staying here,” she told an audience in Cheltenham in July. Their previous Montecito property, once worth over £21 million (₹224.7 crore), is quietly on the market. Friends say Ellen enjoys the slower rhythm here like the quiet walks, local pubs and no paparazzi outside the gate.
