“Most of the time he would sit on the

He married actress Lauren Holly

months later.
Jim vowed he’d never marry

of romances, including an 18-month-
long one with Renée Zellweger.
Next up was Jenny McCarthy,
whom he dated for five years. Their
break-up was a bitter one, and the
former Playboy pin-up accused Jim
of abandoning her autistic son, Evan,
who saw him as a father figure.
When asked recently about his
love life, Jim said, “I’m in love with

THEY ONLY GOT HITCHED in
February, but it seems Johnny Depp
is totally under Amber Heard’s thumb.
“Amber is very loving toward Johnny —
but if things aren’t the way she wants,
all hell breaks loose,” an insider said.
Onlookers saw evidence of that at
the Canadian première of Johnny’s new
movie, Black Mass. According to an
eyewitness, Amber freaked when she
saw him chatting to another woman.
“She stormed over and tried to butt in,”
the source said.
When Johnny, 52, ignored her to
carry on his conversation, Amber, 29,
pulled him aside and, “Talked to him
like a child,” the eyewitness claimed.
“Johnny smiled awkwardly and seemed
to calm her down, because the next
minute they were holding hands again.”
Apparently, Amber’s dissatisfaction
with her husband includes his weight
gain. “She says he looks like a mess
now,” another insider said, “and she’s
started to advise him on his diet.”
As reported in Grazia, in April
