Mo'Nique is at it again, this time, attacking DL Hughley over their show in Detroit. Apparently, she was under the impression that she was supposed to be the headliner. However, she claimed that DL wouldn't perform unless HE went last. In the meantime, DL clapped back saying, "Against my better judgment, over the objections of my team and four other occasions where I said NO, I decided to take a chance and work with Monique." He added, "Oprah was the problem, Tyler Perry was the problem, Charlamagne was the problem, Steve Harvey was the problem, Lee Daniels was the problem, Netflix was the problem… Now it's MY turn. At some point it can't be everyone else, IT'S YOU!!" He then posted a redacted copy of HIS contract that showed he was, in fact, the headliner and wrote, "IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, TAKE IT UP WITH MANAGEMENT AND BY THAT I MEAN YOURS."
The jury is still out in Johnny Depp's $50 million defamation lawsuit against Amber Heard. In their first full day of deliberations, jurors had a question – they asked the judge how they should weigh the headline in Amber's Washington Post op-ed headline for the online version, which read, "I Spoke Up Against Sexual Violence — And Faced Our Culture's Wrath. That Has to Change." They were wondering if they should consider whether the headline was defamatory or whether that should be connected to everything in the op-ed. The judge said that the title is the statement. Deliberations continue today.

Camila Cabello was upset that fans were booing her as she as trying to perform at a soccer game in Liverpool. To be fair, it didn't seem they were actually booing her performance. It seemed it was more of a protest at the disorganization since many people were still stuck outside the venue.
But still, she tweeted after the event, "Playing back our performance and I can't believe people were singing their teams anthem so loud during our performance. Like my team and i worked tirelessly for so long to bring right vibes and give a good show," adding, "Very rude but whatever. IM GLAD U GUYS LOVED IT!!!!!!." The tweets were quickly deleted, but you know this stuff lives on the internet forever.
Diplo may be a famous DJ but not famous enough to some apparently to get into a yacht party he was hired to DJ. Diplo posted a video on Instagram showing him standing in front of security guards trying to explain who he was because his name wasn't on the list and they didn't recognize him.
He wrote on the video, "I was booked to DJ a yacht party in Cannes but security wouldn't let me in. The yacht was empty so I was about to take the L (loss) and go get food … Luckily the owner was walking by and let me in." The video shows a woman at the Cannes Film Festival party telling security, "He's the DJ," while Diplo tries to explain the situation. He captioned the clip, "Next time I'm adding myself to the guest list."
Johnny Depp may be awaiting a decision in the trial, but it seems he has already won in the court of public opinion. There is proof in the press and also in the sales of his cologne.

In fact, they're selling a bottle of the cologne every three seconds.

According to Radar, the ACLU has filed a motion against Johnny Depp requesting he pay over $80,000 in costs related to his lawsuit against Amber Heard. They argue he should reimburse them for the "considerable expense spent" to cover what it cost them in regards to the records Johnny's team demanded they turn over regarding donations made by Amber. It's worth noting the ACLU was also responsible for helping Amber draft her op-ed in the Washington Post.
"Top Gun: Maverick" director Joseph Kosinski says he had just 30 minutes to convince Tom Cruise to star in the movie after finding out Tom didn't want to make a sequel to "Top Gun." The director told Polygon that he and Jerry Bruckheimer flew to Paris, where Tom was shooting "Mission: Impossible," and he got to talk to him between scene setups. Joseph said after the pitch, though, Tom grabbed his phone, called the head of Paramount Pictures, and said "We're making another 'Top Gun.'" It seems to have been the right call; the movie has a worldwide box office total of almost a quarter of a billion dollars after its opening weekend through Sunday.
