Earlier this year Johnny Depp and Amber Heard caused quite the scandal. The two disobeyed import laws and brought their dogs into Australia illegally.

Boo and Pistol. Yorkshire terriers, were brought into the country without permits or quarantine and local authorities had ordered the duo to remove the canines from the country.

Using their private jet, the couple did just that.

While Amber has been quite outspoken about the ordeal, Johnny chose this week to break his silence about the supposed scandal.

At the Venice Film Festival when asked about the dogs, the 52-year old responded:

"I killed my dogs and ate them under direct orders from some kind of, I don't know, sweaty, big-gutted man from Australia.”

This was apparently in relation to the Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce.

In April he accused Johnny of smuggling the dogs aboard a private plane when he was re-entering Oz in order to continue filming the latest Pirates of the Caribbean film.

He was told at the time by Joyce that he had 52 hours to get the dogs out of the country. He issued an ultimatum that if he did not fly the dogs out, he would have them put down.

The Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions issues summons against Amber to appear in court this month. She is being charged over a biosecurity breach.  

This doesn’t sound very promising for the Magic Mike XXL star.

Actress Amber Heard has been charged with two counts of illegal importation and one count of producing a false document.

Yes, this is in relation to the alleged dog smuggling she and husband Johnny Depp have been charged with in Australia in May.

The owner of Boo and Pistol (Yorkshire terriers and very cute) was charged under the Australian Quarantine Act. She apparently was not following the correct procedures on entering the country.

29-year old Amber was in Queensland to visit husband Johnny who was filming the latest Pirates of the Caribbean film.

Back in June, Amber told the Sunrise breakfast program she would not be visiting Australia any time soon after their little legal snafu.

“I have a feeling we’re going to avoid the land down under from now on, just as much as we can, thanks to certain politicians there,” she said in the interview.

If Amber is found guilty of the charges, she could face up to 10 years in an Australian prison.

At the time, a minister for agriculture in Australia made the news worldwide when he said the dogs could “bugger off back to the United States” and if not they would be put down.

Speaking with ET in an interview not too long ago, Amber said that her dogs were with her in the U.S, “despite attempts by rogue thug Australian government officials, they are alright.”

She says she brings Pistol everywhere she goes, and both dogs are fine. In case you were wondering, the stress has not impacted their lives negatively. Phew!

It has not been confirmed whether the pups with accompany Amber when she heads back down under in September to appear at Southport Magistrates Court.

We revealed last week that Johnny Depp and his fiancée Amber Heard were planning to tie the knot this weekend at an intimate family ceremony.

Plans for the couple's wedding on Johnny's private 45-acre island in the Bahamas were leaked to the press, but it turns out Johnny and Amber were one step ahead of everyone.

Although this weekend's wedding will still go ahead, the couple officially tied the knot on Tuesday during a hush-hush ceremony at Johnny's Hollywood home. 

A small guest list of just 50 family and friends will be in attendance over the weekend, including Amber's parents and Johnny's children from his relationship with Vanessa Paradis, Lily Rose and Jack.

As accommodation on the island is minimal, many guests will sleep on Johnny's private yacht which is moored nearby. A hard life for some!

"It will be a really simple ceremony," a source told Us Weekly. "Things are in a great place with [Johnny and Amber]."

The newlyweds met on the set of their 2011 film Rum Diary and have been engaged since January 2014.

The normally very private Johnny happily discussed the news with reporters just two months later, telling them how he had begun wearing Amber's diamond engagement ring himself as it was too big for her. "The fact that I'm wearing a chick's ring on my finger is probably a dead giveaway," the actor said of his diamond ring. "Not very subtle." 

Although Johnny was in a relationship with French singer and model Vanessa Paradis for fourteen years, the couple never married. Johnny's only previous marriage – to his teenage sweetheart Lori Anne Allison – ended in 1986. With this second wedding taking place 32 years after his first, we reckon Johnny has really found The One this time!
 

Johnny Depp could be a married man by next weekend!

The Pirates of the Caribbean star reportedly plans to marry his model girlfriend Amber Heard in a secret ceremony on the weekend of February 7th.

The pair, who have a 23-year age gap, got engaged in December 2013 but hectic work schedules have forced them to put off the wedding until now. The secret ceremony will take place on Johnny Depp's 45-acre personal island in the Bahamas. Handy enough!

Just 50 guests have been invited, according to reports, and as accommodation is limited, many of the wedding party will sleep on Johnny's yacht, which is moored nearby. Those in attendance will include Amber's family and Johnny's two children from his relationship with Vanessa Paradis, Lily Rose and Jack.

Next weekend was the only one that suited both bride and groom, according to one source. "She's filming a movie in London, and he's getting ready to film the next Pirates of the Caribbean in Australia. So this is the only time that everyone could get together," an insider told Page Six.

Design legend Stella McCartney will be the woman behind Amber's dress, but we reckon she'd look stunning in anything!

The couple met in 2011 when they both starred in The Rum Diary. This will be Johnny's second marriage – he split from wife Lori Anne Allison in 1986 after three years. Given that this wedding will take place 32 years after his first, Johnny must really have been waiting for The One!
