Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Show PDA at Secret Stones Show

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard were photographed showing PDA Saturday night as they left a secret Rolling Stones show at LA's Echoplex. Johnny and Amber costarred in the 2011 film The Rum Diary but have kept any possible romance out of the spotlight until now. Amber was able to mingle with the Stones, thanks to Johnny's longtime friendship with Keith Richards. Johnny and Amber were among the 700 people who saw the Stones after the band announced the show on Twitter earlier in the afternoon.

Amber and Johnny were just two of many celebrity guests last night. Also out to see Keith, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts, and Ron Wood do their thing were Gwen Stefani, Mary-Kate Olsen, Ashley Olsen, Owen Wilson, and Maria Shriver. Bruce Willis, who has a vacation home near Keith at Parrot Cay in Turks and Caicos, also attended with his wife, Emma Heming. Stones wives and girlfriends Patti Hansen and L'Wren Scott and 65-year-old Ron's wife of four months, 35-year-old Sally Humphreys, were there, too. The Stones got in last night's show before kicking off their "50 & Counting" world tour this Friday at LA's Staples Center.

Mother of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Love Child Gives Interview About Maria

Mildred Baena, the housekeeper who had Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child, has broken her silence by granting a photo shoot and interview with Hello!


Mildred Baena, the housekeeper who had Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child, has broken her silence by granting a photo shoot and interview with Hello! magazine. In the magazine she poses with her 13-year-old son and says he's looking forward to building a relationship with his biological father. But based on an excerpt from the piece, she doesn't reflect much on her own actions, instead recounting how Maria Shriver reacted to the news.

"She would say things like, 'I’m here if you need to talk.' I sensed something was up. I have so much love and respect for Maria. Finally, she asked point-blank. She was so strong. She cried with me and told me to get off my knees. We held each other, and I told her it wasn’t Arnie’s fault, that it takes two."

If Maria felt any solidarity with Mildred, I wonder how she feels now that Mildred has given an interview about such a difficult personal moment. Do you think Mildred was right to tell her side of the story, or should she have stayed quiet out of respect for Maria?

4 Exciting Moves Maria Shriver Can Make Post-Arnold

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his love child have captured the attention of the world this week.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his love child have captured the attention of the world this week. Sad details about the affair continue to emerge, as pictures of the mistress flash across newspapers and websites everywhere. In her undoubtedly heartbreaking family breakup, Maria Shriver, the other half of the toppled power couple, has a chance to triumph.

Some are asking who Maria should date next. Tim Robbins? Alec Baldwin? While it would be fun to see JFK's niece hook up with a high-profile liberal after decades with a Republican, I doubt she's even thinking about a new love connection as she tries to stay strong for her kids. Still, with the public's goodwill behind her, Maria's next move could be her best yet.

In her 2008 book, Just Who Will You Be?, Maria discussed her reluctance to quit her successful journalism career at NBC to become first lady of California. She wrote, "You've got to be kidding! That's not me! I didn't grow up wanting to be first lady of anything!" Over the years she said she came to peace with being first lady and believed it helped her find her own voice. Maybe this next life stage will move her further along that path. Based on her experience so far, below you'll find four potential projects Maria could take on post-Arnold.

Are You Surprised That Arnold Schwarzenegger Has a Love Child?

There are new updates to the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver split: Arnold fathered a child 10 years ago with a member of the household staff who worked with the family for 20 years before retiring in January.

There are new updates to the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver split: Arnold fathered a child 10 years ago with a member of the household staff who worked with the family for 20 years before retiring in January. Maria left after he fessed up about the child earlier this year.

This isn't the first time the former governator has been in the hot seat for sexual misbehavior; in the past he's been accused of inappropriate touching and an affair with an actress. Couple his past with other politicians who've faced similar scandals (cough, cough, John Edwards), and is this news surprising or expected?

Are You and Your Partner Politically Compatible or Political Opposites?

The poster couple for a successful bipartisan relationship, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, has come to an end.

The poster couple for a successful bipartisan relationship, Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger, has come to an end. Maria was born into the Democratic Kennedy clan before marrying bodybuilder-turned-actor and eventual Republican governor of California Arnold in 1986, and they seemed to know how to make their differing opinions work. But this sort of politically incompatible pairing is unusual, according to a recent study that finds couples marry within their political party. Since the study relies on data collected in the 1980s, I'm not sure how accurate these results are today. It's possible people are more open-minded with their partner's politics than in the past.

But I want to know, are you and your significant other both red, both blue, or a combo couple?

Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger Separate After 25 Years — See Pictures Through the Years

We got sad news this morning when former California first couple and American power duo Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger announced their separation after 25 years of marriage.
Pictures of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger Through the Years

We got sad news this morning when former California first couple and American power duo Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger announced their separation after 25 years of marriage. In a joint statement, Maria, 55, and Arnold, 63, said: "This has been a time of great personal and professional transition for each of us. After a great deal of thought, reflection, discussion, and prayer, we came to this decision together."

Kennedy-clan member Maria gave up her journalism career when Arnold left acting for politics in 2003. Considering they'd been together since the 1970s when Tom Brokaw introduced Maria to then-Austrian bodybuilder Arnold, the Democrat and Republican already had tons of relationship experiences behind them when the governator took office, and they made for an impressive team. They married in 1986 and have four children together. Take a look now at some of their sweetest moments. We wish them both the best.

Victoria Hits the Women's Conference Alongside Jessica Following a Night of Bieber With Her Boys

Victoria Beckham joined the fun yesterday at Maria Shriver's Women's Conference in LA.

Victoria Beckham joined the fun yesterday at Maria Shriver's Women's Conference in LA. Jessica Simpson was proudly on hand for her second day in a row at the event, after chatting Monday about her run-in with Nick Lachey as well as her favorite foods and inspirations. There were many other famous ladies who took the stage — Oprah spoke about what we can expect from her new network, while First Lady Michelle Obama touched on the plight of military wives. Victoria was decked out for the star-studded day in a red dress from her own collection, but the evening before she was likely more casual to take her sons to a Justin Bieber concert. Romeo, Cruz, and Brooklyn were decked out in Bieber gear, and the whole family, David included, took in the singer's dance moves from the luxury of a private box at the Staples Center.
