U.K. Judge Refuses Johnny Depp Permission to Appeal Libel Ruling
In a ruling made public on Wednesday, the judge also ordered Depp to make an initial payment of almost 630,000 pounds ($840,000) to News Group Newspapers, publisher of The Sun, to cover its legal fees. Depp can still apply directly to the Court of Appeal, and has until Dec. 7 to do so. The judge’s main ruling came after a three-week trial in which Depp and Heard gave conflicting accounts of their brief, tempestuous marriage. In the wake of the decision, Depp said he was leaving the Fantastic Beasts film franchise after studio Warner Bros. requested his resignation. Depp is also suing Heard for $50 million in Virginia over a Washington Post op-ed essay that she wrote about domestic violence. The essay talks about her experience being abused but does not name Depp. The trial is due to be hel...

Elation Hypercars Freedom Is a 1,900 HP Hyper-EV Hopeful
Hyperbolically powerful EVs are sprouting all over the automotive landscape like weeds these days. The Porsche Taycan Turbo S makes an already frankly ludicrous 750 horsepower, but the Lotus Evija, Rimac C2, and Tesla Roadster all have it beat. Now there’s a new player in the game. Elation Hypercars, an American-based “hyper-EV” company, has just announced its first project, and it’s as wild as you’d expect for a new player in this space trying to make waves. According to Elation the Freedom, their first car, will be powered by a 100 kWh lithium ion battery and four electric motors that will make up to (approximately) 1,903 horsepower. The battery is a T-shaped unit that’s integrated into the car’s chassis. If customers so desire, they can spec a 1...
Here’s Why Frank Ocean Inspired Yara Shahidi to Get Tattoos
When asked if she has a tattoo inspired by Ocean, the grown-ish star had to clarify. “OK, so I have tattoos because of Frank Ocean, but they’re all inspired by different things,” she explained, before pointing out a lyric from the singer’s Chanel title track, in which he boasts, “Hide my tattoos in Shibuya.” “I heard that, I was 16, I hadn’t had tattoos yet and so when I got tattoos, I was like, ‘When I got to Shibuya, now I have something to hide,” Shahidi continued. What makes her such a big Ocean supporter? “His artistry and his work ethic, but also I’d have to say his music is so ripe with cultural references,” she replied. “Whether it be Kerry James Marshall or somebody else, it’s oftentimes an entry point to learn about...
