Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have certainly been the focus of all celebrity gossip lately.
So why not air a special on them on Fox TV stations produced by TMZ? That’s like a triple header.
Alas, no one cared. The special, which played last night at 9pm, fetched fewer than 900,000 viewers.
The total, to be sure, was 882,000.
“Johnny vs. Amber: From Love to Hate” was dwarfed in ratings by NBC’s “America’s Got Talent,” which brought in 6 million fans.
Fame is fleeting! We move on now to the next scandal.

Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news. This is an independent site, unlike the many Hollywood trades that are owned by one company. To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive. Thank you
