  • Amber Heard Faces Two Charges of Illegal Importation, One Charge of Producing False Document for Bringing Dogs to Australia

    Amber Heard is due in court in Queensland, Australia on Monday, but attorneys for the Rum Diary star will appear on her behalf. She is facing two charges of illegal importation and one charge of producing a false document–all stemming from when she and hubby Johnny Depp brought their dogs–Yorkshire terriers Boo and Pistol–into Australia earlier this year in their private jet.

    Lawyers for Amber Heard are hoping to be granted an adjournment of the charges until a later date–possibly one at which Heard will answer for the charges herself.

    Johnny Depp and Amber Heard made international headlines back in May when they allegedly smuggled their dogs into the country while he was filming the last installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Their dogs posed a bio-security because the United States isn’t rabies free.

    Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce came down hard on both Amber Heard and Johnny Depp, and soon gave the pair just 48 hours to get their dogs out of Australia or risk them being euthanized. The dogs were flown back to the U.S. on a private flight.

    In even more recent news for the couple, Amber Heard and Johnny Depp were spotted sharing lots of PDA at the Venice Film Festival this weekend. The two attended the premiere of The Danish Girl.

    Do you think Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have any respect for Australian laws? They seemed quite put out when they weren’t allowed to keep their dogs in Australia with them.

  • Missing Boys: Coast Guard Search Continues for Florida Teens

    The missing Florida boys whose boat was found off the coast off the Ponce de Leon Inlet on Friday are still part of an active Coast Guard search today. The 14-year-old boys–Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos–left Jupiter, Florida on Friday.

    On Wednesday the Coast Guard confirmed that five cutters, a Navy ship, and several planes are involved in the search.

    “We are 100% committed to finding and rescuing those boys, as is the Coast Guard, and we will not stop until we get them back home with us,” Perry’s mother, Pamela Cohen, told CNN late on Tuesday.

    “We just feel very, very confident that they will be able to stick through this. They know that we’re coming for them and we will get them,” she said.

    “They’ve brought out every resource they have,” Carly Black, who is Austin’s mother, said of the Coast Guard search. “They’re using everything they have to find our boys. They truly believe they’re going to find them.”

    The boat on which the missing boys were traveling is a 9-foot, single-engine center-console vessel. The families believe the boys made flotation devices from items missing from the capsized boat.

    Even though Cohen and Stephanos are young teens, they are legally old enough to operate a boat by Florida standards.

    “We know our boys. We know the determination and the courage that they have. We know the skills that they have. We know how athletically fit and able they are. Both of our boys learned how to swim before they learned how to walk,” Pamela Cohen adds.

    Both of the missing boys grew up on the water.

    Prayers are being said by people all over the country for Perry and Austin. Football legend Joe Namath is a neighbor of one of the boys. He offered up a reward for information leading to them.

    Hopefully these missing boys are found safe, bringing an end to this frightening time for their parents and their community.
