Playboy Mansion Sold!
The Playboy mansion is going from bunnies to Twinkies.
The famous estate has been sold to Daren Metropoulos, who owns Twinkies-maker Hostess Brands. As part of the deal, Daren has agreed to let the 90-year-old Hugh Hefner live on the 20,000-square-foot Holmby Hills spread for the rest of his life.
The house was listed for $200 million, but Variety says it sold for “around $120 million.”
Daren won’t have to move far. In 2009, he bought the house next door to the Playboy mansion for $18 million. (USA Today)(Premiere Prep)

Little Girl Gets Doll That’s Just Like Her
Today’s Good News will pull at your heart strings…
10-year-old Emma Bennett of Texas recently received a gift so fantastic that it triggered an unbelievable emotional reaction that has been shared among millions of others who have seen the video.
Emma, like so many other girls, was thrilled to receive an American Girl doll in her likeness. But what she didn’t know is how special the doll really was, because it was custom-made to be exactly like her – with blonde hair, a beautiful smile and a prosthetic leg.
Emma opened the box and said, “You’ve got to be kidding me. It’s got a leg like me! I love you!” She then sobbed uncontrollably while hugging her new doll.
Emma’s mom purchased the doll and shipped it off to a A Step Ahead Prosthetics, which builds artificial limbs for humans. But in this case, they were happy to fit a doll with one.
After they were done, they shipped the Emma doll back along with a letter that read, “After she arrived, she was given a room to stay while her new leg was being made in her favorite color pink. After a few weeks of training, she is ready to go home and lead a life without limitations with you.”
The company, which is based in New York, has also invited Emma to their headquarters to meet other kids just like her. (NY Daily News) (Premiere Prep)

Update: Johnny Depp and Amber Heard Divorce Details
Amber Heard was granted a temporary restraining order against Johnny Depp Friday after claiming he abused her.
The actress reportedly showed the judge photos of bruises she claims is from past assaults and said she also has video of an alleged altercation. Amber, who filed for divorce last Monday, says Johnny’s abuse was triggered by drugs and alcohol.
His rep released a statement saying, “Given the brevity of this marriage and the most recent and tragic loss of his mother, Johnny will not respond to any of the salacious false stories, gossip, misinformation and lies about his personal life. Hopefully the dissolution of this short marriage will be resolved quickly.”
Though Johnny is staying mum on the allegations, his friends and family are coming to his defense. His ex Vanessa Paradis calls the domestic violence allegations “outrageous” and insists that he had “never been physically abusive” to her during their 14-year relationship.
His daughter with Paradis, Lily-Rose, posted a photo on Instagram of herself as a baby with her father and wrote, “My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know.” She added, “He’s been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him would say the same.”
Comedian Doug Stanhope, a friend of the actor, wrote a column for The Wrap claiming Amber is blackmailing his friend. Stanhope wrote that Depp once told him his wife was “threatening to lie about him publicly in any and every possible duplicitous way if he didn’t agree to her terms.”
Johnny and Amber, who wed 15 months ago, don’t have a pre-nup.
Johnny Depp’s Family Can’t Stand Amber Heard
The news that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are getting a divorce wasn’t surprising to Depp’s family. In fact, it was welcome news.
According to TMZ, the Hollywood superstar’s kids, sisters and his late mother couldn’t stand Amber and believed she was only after his fame and fortune. They often talked about how Amber would “treat him like crap.” And his mother apparently wasn’t shy about letting Amber know how she feels and had words with her on multiple occasions.
Depp’s mom Betty Sue Palmer passed away last Friday after a long illness. She was 81. Just three days later, Amber filed for divorce. (People)(Premiere Prep)
