Rugby-Munster move for Ed Sheeran as concerts force Champions Cup switch

Ed Sheeran has punted Munster from their Thomond Park Stadium for next month's Champions Cup quarter-final tie against Toulouse with the venue set to host the British singer's concerts. The quarter-finals are scheduled for May 6-8 but with Sheeran set to play Limerick's Thomond Park on May 5 and May 6 there is not enough time to return the pitch to a playable standard.

Johnny Depp to testify in defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard

Actor Johnny Depp is expected to testify in a Virginia courtroom on Tuesday in the U.S. defamation trial where he accuses ex-wife and actress Amber Heard of ruining his career with false accusations of violence during their relationship.

Depp, 58, alleges Heard, 35, defamed him when she penned a December 2018 opinion piece in the Washington Post about being a survivor of domestic abuse. He filed a $50 million lawsuit against Heard in 2018.

Box Office: 'Fantastic Beasts 3' Opens to Franchise-Low $43 Million

"Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore," the third chapter in the "Harry Potter" spinoff series, collected a muted $43 million in its domestic box office debut. In pandemic times, those ticket sales were enough to lead this weekend's box office charts and land one of the biggest North American openings in 2022. But it's also a sign that magic is in short supply for J.K. Rowling's lucrative and ever-expanding Wizarding World. Dinged by mixed reviews and growing apathy for prequel series star Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne) and company, "The Secrets of Dumbledore" stands as the worst start for a "Harry Potter"-adjacent movie. (Its predecessors 2016's "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," launched to $74 million in North America, while the 2018 follow-up "The Crimes of Grindelwald" bowed to $62 million.)
