I can't stand celeb gossip, haven't followed the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard defamation trial, and couldn't possibly tell you how much of this Saturday Night Live cold.
SNL has a very specific opinion about the trial and the news-consuming community, which is why it is called stupid fluff. Cecily Strong, garbed in judicial robes and made up to look like Judge Penney Azcarate articulates the message perfectly in the sketch as she strikes down an objection to the lawyer for Johnny Depp.
Strong says she will allow it because it sounds fun.
There is some truth to that. The gossip stuff is not my thing, but we are being attacked by all sorts and sizes of grim news, including the COVID-19 Pandemic, and deeply unpopular efforts to legislate every birth. There were dark times. If you feast on a banquet of hot goss delivered straight from the courtroom, it will make your days a little bit easier.
