Kate McKinnon mocked the ongoing defamation trial between Johnny Depp and his ex-wife Amber Heard during the cold open on this weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live (14 May). The two actors are embroiled in a lawsuit as a result of an op-ed Heard wrote, which Depp claims defamed him and ruined his career. The comedian touched on other current events including Roe v Wade, the Russian-Ukraine war, and the baby formula shortage, before settling on an update on the multi-million dollar trial. “I know it’s not the most pertinent story at the moment,” McKinnon began. “But with all the problems in the world, isn’t it nice to have a news story we all can collectively say ‘glad it ain’t me?’” Turning to “live coverage” of the trial, the rest of the cast spoofed Depp’s prior allegation th...

“Saturday Night Live” opened up by lampooning the explosive allegations made in the ongoing Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial. “I am Nicole Wallace and you are watching MSNBC News because you have nowhere else to place your anger,” Kate McKinnon said, portraying the anchor introducing the cable network’s trial coverage. Depp, played by Kyle Mooney, took the witness stand to narrate a home security video where property manager Kenan Thompson found feces in his bed, purportedly left by Heard. “I’d like to see more of the video, because it’s funny,” the judge, played by Cecily Strong said, overruling an objection from Heard’s lawyer. “Mr. Depp are you finding this trial amusing?,” Strong asked the smirking witness. “A little yes,” he replied. ...

Jason Momoa is weighing in after receiving criticism on social media regarding his recent trip to the Sistine Chapel. Momoa, who had been in Italy to shoot his role in Universal Pictures’ upcoming Fast X opposite Vin Diesel, posted photos and footage earlier this week to Instagram of himself visiting the famed chapel in Vatican City. After some social media users commented that visitors are typically prohibited from photographing the space, which is sacred to those of the Catholic faith and houses Michelangelo’s prized artwork, Momoa shared a video Saturday of himself offering an apology. In the clip, the Aquaman star said that “if you ever felt that I disrespected your culture, it wasn’t my intention.” He explained that he decided to take advantage of a couple days...

It is a truth universally acknowledged – at least among people of a certain age and socio-economic demographic – that Conversations with Friends is Sally Rooney’s best novel, a debut superior to its acclaimed follow-up, Normal People. So it’s no surprise to find the BBC returning to the territory that made 2020’s Normal People one of the first true hits of lockdown, a Tiger King for the generation gleefully squandering their mortgage money on turmeric lattes. Conversations with Friends revisits the formula so faithfully that even the absence of any narrative continuity cannot prevent this feeling like a sequel. Conversations with Friends follows the tangled lives of Frances (newcomer Alison Oliver) and Bobbi (American Honey’s Sasha Lane), who are best friends, ex-lovers, and, to their et...

There’s been a lot of defecation slung around the past few weeks in Johnny Depp’s ongoing $50 million defamation trial against Amber Heard. Tonight, Saturday Night Live successfully threw some of its own against the wall to see what would stick in the cold open. “I felt very very sad,” said a bearded and ponytailed Kyle Mooney as a grinning Depp on the stand when asked by a lawyering Aidy Bryant what was his reaction to discovering “fecal matter in your bed.” Hearing frequent objections from cast member Heidi Gardner as Heard’s main lawyer Elaine Bredehoft over the messy line of questioning, Judge Penny Azcarte, played on SNL by a bespectacled Cecily Strong, put the whole cold open and the whole real-life trial in perspective. “I’ll allow it because it does sound fun, a...
