Three years after the pandemic brought Hollywood to a standstill, the film and TV industry has again ground to a halt.

Amber Heard's lawyer says she was “demonized” by ex-husband Johnny Depp's legal team and excoriated on social media during a sensational defamation trial that ended with a jury ordering her to pay Depp $15 million.

Los Angeles County Undersheriff Tim Murakami also jabbed TMZ in a tweet. Bryant's death was the latest in a string of tragic celebrity-death scoops TMZ has landed since it launched in 2005. Belloni added, "If TMZ reports that a celebrity has died in Los Angeles County, it is almost always correct. For whatever reason, and you can read into this, their accuracy rate in Los Angeles is very, very good." But when I saw that it was TMZ reporting a death in Los Angeles County of a very prominent person, I thought it's probably right."
