Johnny Depp’s Abuse Allegations Cost Actor Sixth ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ Film, Court Hears
May 27, 2016, was the day that Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s marriage went from private misery to public, career-killing spectacle. Heard, who had just filed for divorce, arrived at a Los Angeles courthouse that day to seek a temporary restraining order, showing up with a clear mark on her face, which she said Depp inflicted during a fight six days prior. Photographers captured the scene, and the allegations became tabloid fodder across the globe. Depp says he never hit her, and now he’s suing Heard for libel in Fairfax County Circuit Court. On Wednesday, jurors in the case heard from police officers who responded to the couple’s penthouse immediately after the fight. None of the officers saw the red mark that was so prominent six days later. Explore See latest videos, charts and news See ...

In a recent SiriusXM interview, King Push referred to Hov as “the best rapper, like, just period.” He also went into detail about their collaborative process, stating that they have a very sharp creative relationship, “When I reach out to him about a record, I feel like he sort of knows that, you know, I’m not reaching out to him about no bullshit. It’s like, nah, I must really think that this is a joint, or something that’s gonna add to the great legacy that he has.” “So I basically just write the verse, lay the hook down, I do everything and just send it to him with a space open. I send it and I just hope he’ll hit back,” Pusha said of their process. “And thi...
Disney Unveils ‘Avatar 2’ Title, Teaser Trailer Release Date
Disney has officially revealed the title of the first upcoming Avatar sequel — Avatar: The Way of Water. According to reports, the title and release date of the film’s teaser trailer were unveiled during Disney’s CinemaCon presentation, with producer Jon Landau stating, “One of the strengths of [James] Cameron’s scripts is they are always universal and relatable themes that he weaves into them.” He added, “At the center of each of the four sequels will be the Sully family. Each story will be a standalone and each will come to its own conclusion.” The Way of Water will be the first of four Avatar sequels in the works, and Landau shared that fans can look forward to a “fulfilling resolution to each film, but when looked at as a whole the journey across all four will create a larger epic saga...

‘Dead by Daylight’ Introduces Its First Gay Character
In celebration of its LGBTQIA2+ fans, Behaviour Interactive has now introduced Dead by Daylight‘s first gay character: David King. Having joined the game as a DLC pack in 2o17, King is most known for his high-risk high-reward gameplay style, described by the developer as a “hot-tempered ruffian with a penchant for a good scrap, whose time as a debt collector brought pain both internal and external.” Aside from confirming the news, the studio is also placing King at the center of its latest Tome, DEVOTION, which gives players “deeper insight into a new side of David’s character,” elaborating on his backstory and personal connections. “One of the cornerstones of that community are our LGBTQIA2+ players, who continue to elevate Dead by Daylight with their tireless passion for horror, gam...
Undeath: It’s Time… To Rise From the Grave
“Head Splattered in Seven Ways,” to wit, details an absurdist armed standoff between two dudes. All the death-metal hallmarks are present—vocals so violent you can practically hear the larynx rip, massive riffs that crash down in waves, cymbals that dance over tides of blast beats. As Jones demands answers from his victim, he repeats, “Tell me the truth,” the band making space for a refrain so barbed you may hum along the second time he coughs it up, even if this is the only death metal song you’ve ever heard. Or there’s “Necrobionics,” the first of those two tunes about the mounting zombie army. The band is as agile as it is aggressive, with righteous guitarists Jared Welch and Kyle Beam stuffing a symphony of melodrama into their compact riffs. Jones perches above it all like some pop-st...

Give it a listen below. “There’s nothing saccharine about unconditional love in a world that is coming apart at the seams,” Win Butler said in a statement. “WE need each other, in all of our imperfection.” He continued: “Lookout Kid” is a reminder, a lullaby for the end times, sung to my son, but for everyone….

Lady Gaga Announces New Top Gun: Maverick Song “Hold My Hand”
When I wrote this song for Top Gun: Maverick, I didn’t even realize the multiple layers it spanned across the film’s heart, my own psyche, and the nature of the world we’ve been living in. I’ve been working on it for years, perfecting it, trying to make it ours. I wanted to make music into a song where we share our deep need to both be understood and try to understand each other—a longing to be close when we feel so far away and an ability to celebrate life’s heroes. I’m so grateful to Tom and Hans and [director Joseph Kosinski] for this opportunity—and it’s been a beautiful experience working with them. Me, BloodPop, Ben Rice and everyone else who worked on it with us are so excited to share it with you. This song is a love letter to the world during and after a very hard time. I’ve wante...
