Beyonce is just one step from strapping on a sandwich board that reads, "Buy my album, please."
Bey and Jay Z took a post-dinner stroll through Midtown NYC Thursday, which doesn't happen often ... making it all look suspiciously promotional.
BTW ... Bey's album fell to No. 2 after only one week at the top ... toppled by Drake's "Views" ... so Bey's hustle is very real.

Amber Heard Claims Domestic Violence Seeks Restraining Order Against Johnny Depp

11:47 AM PST -- The judge just granted a temporary restraining order, requiring Johnny to stay 100 yards away from Amber, at least until a hearing next month. That's not a real problem since Johnny is in Europe promoting his movie.
The judge also gave her the right to live in the family home. The judge rejected many other requests by Amber ... notably, the judge said no to an order keeping Johnny away from at least one of their dogs, saying there was "an insufficient showing to protect the pet dog." It's unclear why the judge didn't reference the second dog.
And Amber also got shut down when it came to awarding spousal support -- she wanted $50k per month -- and attorney's fees. The judge also rejected her request for possession of their Range Rover and another request to force Johnny into anger management.

You never know who's in your life that can save your life, and I found that out."

--Blake Shelton on the divorce from Miranda Lambert, and the subsequent "save" he got from the one and only Gwen Stefani.

It looks like that vibe was accurate, too, based on this new little detail about their relationship. According to a source, Amber had some serious second thoughts after getting engaged:
