I enjoyed Depp's performance in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape".

Our news has the similar problem of airing celebrity nonsense instead of real news, and CBS earned my ire last week when in the midst of school shootings and war in Ukraine they had a significant segment where a female star opined about how motherhood had changed her life. Worse than the BBC IMO.

For the most part, the agonizing Depp/ Heard trial has been aired on Court TV, where it belongs. There are real issues involved, and it can get pretty 'down the rabbit hole' since it shows off the differences between UK law and US law regarding proving and deciding on defamation. I don't know how a jury decides between the countering testimony of two actors and competent representation. I couldn't imagine it as anything other than excruciating.
