Johnny Depp will likely take the stand to answer allegations he punched a location manager on set. But it just won’t come next week, or even this year, after all.
As the Pirates of the Caribbean star faces ongoing legal dust-ups with his ex-wife Amber Heard and his ex-law firm, on Wednesday a Los Angeles Superior Court judge gave Depp a little courthouse breathing room. Going over her schedule today before the assault trial set to start October 21, Judge Holly Fujie decided the three-day matter would be better dealt with next spring – May 11, 2020 to be exact.
If his deposition of September 11 is any road map, Depp was prepared to testify October 22 that he did not hit City of Lies location manager Gregg “Rocky” Brooks in an altercation on the set of the Brad Furman-directed flick in April 2017 – a Pov that Brooks clearly does not share.
In his filed complaint of July last year,...

A California appellate court overturned a $20 million judgment against a charter jet company on Monday in a case that involved the secret videotaping of late pop star Michael Jackson. According to the Los Angeles Times, the 2nd District Court of Appeal concluded that the award against now-defunct company XtraJet and its owner, Jeffrey Borer, was excessive.
The case involved a 2003 flight by Jackson on one of XtraJet's charter planes from Las Vegas to Santa Barbara, California. Jackson's flight was a widely covered event at the time, as he was traveling back to Los Angeles to face child-molestation charges, of which he was later acquitted. The singer was secretly videotaped on the flight speaking to his attorney, Mark Geragos.
The majority of the 2008 settlement, $18 million, went to Geragos,...
