Amber Heard is taking Johnny Depp and his charitable donation to task …
The actress has fired at her ex, claiming that if he really cares about donating to charity he will pay out $14 million, not the agreed-upon $7 million, according to TMZ.
Amber's team tells the site that Johnny is being shady about his move of splitting the settlement money with Children's Hospital of L.A. and the ACLU.
The site is reporting that her people have explained that if the Pirates of the Carribbean actor sends the money directly to the charities directly he will get a charitable tax deduction — and Amber doesn’t want that.
Amber's people told the publication, "If Johnny wishes to change the settlement agreement, we must insist that he honor the full amount by donating $14M to charity, which after accounting for his tax deduction, is equal to his $7M payment obligation to Amber."
The team also explained, "We would also insist that the full amount be paid immediately and not drawn out over many years."
In addition, Amber’s people said, "Anything less would be a transparent attempt by Johnny's counsel, Laura Wasser and Patti Glaser, to reduce their client's true payment by half under the guise of newfound concern for charities that he has never previously supported."
Johnny's team did counter and say that he was honored by the Children's Hospital of L.A. in 2006 — so this is not his first time giving to that organization.

This makes us sad for her, but also a little worried!
Courtney Stodden got a fake baby to cope with her tragic miscarriage, and we guess whatever helps her to overcome the grief is a good thing, but this doll is super creepy! The Internet sensation lost her pregnancy with husband Doug Hutchinson, so her therapist apparently recommended she get a "reborn" doll to process her emotions.
Her behavior has been slightly erratic in recent weeks, as evidenced by the photos and videos on her Instagram. She shaved her head and is now wearing a pink wig a la Britney, and we have to wonder about her mental stability during this difficult time.

A Britney Spears biopic is coming to Lifetime television -- and BritBrit is not happy about it!
The two-hour TV movie, tentatively titled Britney, is said to focus on Spears' road to success. The made-for-TV movie will revolve around her up-and-down career, love life, parents' divorce and her split from Justin Timberlake.
While many fans are sure to check out the tale that tells the trials and tribulations of the troubled singer, not everyone is thrilled about the movie — namely the “Make Me†singer herself.
Spears’ representative released a statement to Us Weekly on Thursday: â€Britney Spears will not be contributing in any way, shape or form to the Lifetime biopic, nor does it have her blessing."
Hail, Caesar! actress Natasha Bassett will be playing the popstar. The movie is slated to begin filming singer in September is set to premiere in 2017.
Lifetime has previously based movies based on celebrities Whitney Houston and Brittany Murphy, and also on the casts of Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210.

It was a family affair!
Ben Affleck celebrated his 44th birthday by taking a vacation to Montana with Jennifer Garner and their three kids, Us Weekly reports.
The clan stayed at the super luxurious Yellowstone Club, and spent the trip just enjoying the downtime and relaxing. "There was a cake and they did the usual stuff: hiking and playing outside. They wanted to be together as a family,†a source dished to the mag.
So is this yet another sign the divorce is off for the couple? Not so fast...
Although they "got along great" throughout the weekend, they kept their distance when it came to sleeping arrangements. "They didn’t sleep in the same room. And they are not getting back together," the source added.

Kendall Jenner is pretty good at keeping secrets!
The leggy lady, who donned a black miniskirt and yellow lingerie top for the interview, revealed during last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! that she only clued in two of her family members that she’d nabbed the September cover of Vogue. Who were the two confidants? Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian, of course!
On Wednesday, Kimmel said, â€The whole family is famous. I can't imagine how embarrassing it would be to not be famous in your family. But when you share news like the Vogue magazine for instance, do you have to tell them right away before it's announced? Do people find out from other sources?"
Jenner replied, "This I really wanted to keep a secret from everyone. I think my mom was the only one who knew. I slipped up on Kim. I told Kim … I wanted it to be a surprise. Not only for everyone, but also my family. I just wanted it to be super special."
The funny man also teased the supermodel about her big family: â€Do you ever wish there was fewer Kardashians so you get more of the attention?"
Jenner responded, “Never!" I love having a big family. It's the best thing in the world. You always have someone to talk to."
Fewer Kardashians?! God no! What else would we have to talk about?!

She probably waited to text him as long as she could before giving in!
Sofia Richie celebrated her 18th birthday at The Nice Guy last night with an entourage of male pals, but rumored boyfriend Justin Bieber was nowhere in sight! In fact, he was across town at The Doheny Room, and when Lionel Richie's daughter wrapped up her evening at the celeb hotspot, she booked it over to JB's location to be by his side.
The barely legal socialite must not mind the fact that The Biebs isn't a one woman man. After all, he was just spotted with British model Bronte Blampied in London, and before that he was skinny dipping in Hawaii with Australian model Sahara Ray. Dude gets around!
Perhaps that's why Sofia was sick just a few days ago? She should think twice about making out with someone that is making out with everyone! That's how germs spread, y'all. Earlier in the afternoon, she stopped by Earth Bar to grab some vitamins to fight her flu. If they sold cheating boyfriend elixir, she'd be on the mend by now!
