Johnny Depp had appeared on a list of potential witnesses compiled by lawyers defending his ex-wife Amber Heard

Heard’s team decided not to call the U.S. actor to the stand as the defamation case enters its sixth, and final week.

Depp told jurors he never hit Heard and argues she was the abuser in their relationship.

He says Heard threw a vodka bottle at him in early 2015, severing the top of his right middle finger.

Under cross-examination, Johnny Depp’s attorney grilled Heard’s expert orthopaedic surgeon on his ruling of Depp’s finger injury.

A psychiatrist called by Heard’s team inferred Johnny Depp was gaslighting Heard throughout their relationship.

Depp appeared to chuckle when the psychiatrist started to discuss victim blaming.

At the start of the trial, many big names – including billionaire Elon Musk, and actor James Franco – had been rumoured to testify. But none showed.

Now, a source close to Johnny Depp says British supermodel Kate Moss will testify on Wednesday.

Earlier in the trial, Johnny Depp’s attorney Ben Chu appeared to celebrate with a fist pump when Amber Heard mentioned Kate Moss during her testimony.

SpaceX’s upcoming IPO could raise $25 billion and value the company over $1 trillion, igniting investor excitement for Mars missions.

Investors are buzzing as SpaceX gears up for a potential IPO, aiming to raise more than $25 billion, possibly as soon as June. The offering could value the company at over $1 trillion, fueling Musk’s ambitious plans for Mars and beyond.

Despite the high-risk nature of space ventures, demand from retail investors is expected to be strong. Experts predict this IPO could become historic, with the company’s market value potentially soaring past $2 trillion once it launches.

Musk’s unconventional management style hasn’t slowed investor enthusiasm, even amidst regulatory hurdles. The funds raised could also support groundbreaking innovations, including energy-efficient space data centers.

Disney invests $1 billion in OpenAI for AI-generated videos featuring iconic characters, enhancing fan interactions and launching in 2026.

Disney is taking AI to the next level, investing $1 billion in OpenAI to create a licensing deal that allows users to generate videos featuring more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar. This partnership could redefine how fans interact with their favorite characters.

The deal will let users stream short AI-generated videos directly on Disney+, and ChatGPT will also produce images of Disney’s licensed characters. However, the agreement excludes talent likenesses or voices, keeping human performances separate.

Set to launch in 2026, the collaboration also gives Disney warrants to purchase additional OpenAI equity and use AI tools for product development, opening doors to new creative opportunities.
