Amber Heard's camp has come out swinging, claiming she did not refuse to have her deposition taken Saturday.

A member of Amber's team tells TMZ ... "Although she was ready, willing and able to go forward with her deposition, it was not taken by Johnny's attorneys. She waited for 10 hours and at no time did Amber ever refuse to start the deposition. There was nothing preventing Johnny's counsel from commencing the deposition."

They do not explain why Johnny Depp's lawyers would not want to grill Amber. As we reported, they were all present and had both a court reporter and videographer at the ready.

The team member also says Johnny's camp agreed to have Johnny's depo taken this Wednesday, but now says they can't make the date.

And they dispute the claim Amber was an hour and a half late for the depo. Even though it was called for 10 AM, they say they "confirmed" Amber would be arriving at 11. And they say she was there at 11, but didn't enter because they were blindsided by paparazzi.

UFC lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez seems to be issuing a warning to Conor McGregor -- careful with the WWE smack talk ... 'cause a lot of those dudes are the REAL DEAL.

Of course, McGregor said WWE superstars are nothing but a bunch of "messed up p**sies" -- which pissed a lot of 'em off.

Now, Alvarez is sort of defending the WWE -- while making it clear what they do is an "act" ... he still acknowledges that a lot of 'em are "incredible athletes" who come from a real combat sports background.

THE NATURE BOY IS PISSED!!!!

Ric Flair is firing back at Conor McGregor ... blasting the UFC star after McGregor proclaimed that most WWE wrestler are "messed up p**sies."

Funkmaster Flex apparently struck a nerve, because Drake went off on him again ... this time calling him a lame DJ.

Drake hit up Space Ibiza in NYC after his Saturday night MSG performance, and went at FF. Drake is clearly furious the DJ dared to say on the air the rapper doesn't write all of his own lyrics.

Funkmaster Flex was on "TMZ Live" Friday and seemed amused that Drake was still holding a grudge, but also said he still has mad respect for the rapper ... he's just not in Kendrick Lamar's league.

Conor McGregor just UNLOADED on the WWE -- saying most of the pro wrestlers are "p**sies" -- and blasted Brock Lesnar as a juiced up cheater.

McGregor was on a conference call to promote UFC 202 when he was asked if he'd ever consider doing a stint in the WWE ... and that's when he went off.

"I haven't really thought about it," McGregor said ... "For the most part, those WWE guys are p**sies."

"They're messed up p**sies if you ask me."

McGregor said there are some people he respects over there -- including the McMahons, Triple H and The Rock.

But when asked about Brock Lesnar ... he fired even more shots.

Amber Heard has been cavorting in London this week, but we're told she will absolutely be back for her deposition on Saturday ... and Johnny Depp could be watching the whole thing.

Our sources say Amber is locked and loaded for the depo, which is set for 10 AM Saturday morning. Johnny's lawyers, we're told, plan to grill her on her claim Johnny physically attacked her. We're told the depo could last 7 hours, and the range of inquiry includes statements from cops and witnesses who say she showed no signs of injury and nothing was broken in the downtown L.A. loft.

Johnny could be at the depo -- he has a right to show -- but both sides have to sign off on him being present because a restraining order is currently in place.

We're also told Johnny must sit for his deposition next week.

If the case is going to settle, this is the time. We're told settlement discussions are ongoing.

Clint Eastwood says the Democrats used the Gold Star family as pawns at the convention.

Vanilla Ice had a meltdown at Delta in Atlanta Monday, after realizing his plane had left ... without him.

Ice tells us he arrived an hour early and sat near the ticket counter. He says when he looked up the gateway door was closed, so he bolted to the counter, asking why no one called the flight.

Delta employees weren't in the mood for attitude, but what really set Ice off was a traveler who inserted himself into the discussion, schooling Ice on airport protocol.

Welcome to the club, Ice ... says Kim Zolciak.

It's official now ... you know 50 Cent and The Game's feud is really squashed when they come together over strippers.

The longtime rivals were kicking it Monday night at Ace of Diamonds in L.A. -- and they were all smiles in the V.I.P.

50 made it rain, and Game grabbed the mic to let everyone know the rap giants are on to some new s***.

Remember, we kinda knew they were working things out earlier this year when we saw 'em at the same club in Hollywood.

And check out Fiddy leaving the club. Even though he was tossing cash like crazy in the club ... homie still left with major stacks!

Justin Bieber put all of his 145 lbs behind Kanye West, by posting a photo showing whose side he's on in the Taylor Swift war.

The Biebs FaceTimed Kanye and posted a screenshot Tuesday morning with the caption, "Taylor swift what up."

Beyonce's most rabidly loyal fans took things up a notch and hacked her one-time nemesis Rachel Roy ... at least that's where the clues are pointing the LAPD.

You'll remember, Rachel had a rumored history with Jay Z and took heat from the Beyhive when "Lemonade" dropped. Didn't help that a few hours after the release Rachel posted a pic with the caption, "Good hair don't care" -- stirring 'Hivers to think she was "Becky with the good hair."

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, Rachel called cops a few days later saying her Gmail and iCloud accounts had been hacked. She also said her cell phone number had been changed without her permission.

In the docs, Rachel makes it clear ... she believes all the trouble stemmed from that "Good hair don't care" IG post. Remember, she'd also been heavily spammed on all her social media with bee emojis -- the Beyhive's calling card.

Lil Wayne's wardrobe is now doing his trash-talking for him.

Weezy's favorite Birdman slam is emblazoned on a white hat he's rocking in L.A.

It's a strong hint that Mr. Carter and the Cash Money honcho have made ZERO progress on settlement talks in Wayne's $51 mil lawsuit.

Egor Tarabasov put himself back in the danger zone as far as Lindsay Lohan's concerned.

Her millionaire fiance hit up London's Chiltern Firehouse Thursday night -- the first time we've seen him out on the town since his blowout fight with Lindsay ... which led to her fleeing the country.

The Firehouse is like Craig's in West Hollywood -- celebs only go when they wanna be seen.

Ronda Rousey is NOT with child ... despite rumors perpetuated by rival UFC fighter Cris "Cyborg" Justino, so says UFC prez Dana White.

Early Thursday, Cyborg went to Twitter and wrote, "I keep hearing the rumor @RondaRousey is expecting and no longer fighting #ufc205 if true congrats on the new life."

Ronda has previously talked about having children with her boyfriend, Travis Browne -- but never gave a time frame.

We spoke with White ... who tells us he talked with Ronda on the phone after the Cyborg tweet and she assured him it just ain't true.

Still no word on when she's expected to get back in the Octagon.

Keshia Knight Pulliam is demanding the Atlanta home she and Ed Hartwell shared, her pre-marriage possessions and everything she made during their marriage.

In new divorce docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Keshia's asking for all assets she acquired during their marriage -- which is interesting considering most couples split assets accumulated during a marriage.

Keshia also makes a point to demand she be awarded all property and assets she had before the two married, which includes even more 'Cosby' cash.

And get this ... in Ed's divorce filing, he stated they had no kids, but Keshia makes it a point to say a child IS expected of the marriage. In other words ... Ed's the daddy.

Drake opened the door ... Kanye West stepped through it, and then took a few pot shots at Taylor Swift.

'Ye's hometown crowd went wild ... which only fueled him to continue the rant.
