'Sopranos' star Drea de Matteo says Hollywood elites 'petrified' to voice any skepticism against President Joe Biden



"The Sopranos" actress Drea de Matteo said that Hollywood elites are "petrified" to voice any skepticism against President Joe Biden.

"I think the far left own Hollywood. I think we all know that. All we have to do is follow the money," de Matteo said during an appearance on "Varney & Co."

"I do know that people are tired of it, and there are very few people that are willing to speak out," the actress added. "They probably will vote Republican, and that's people who would never normally, but people are afraid. This doesn't feel like a democracy anymore."

De Matteo – best known for her role as Adriana La Cerva in "The Sopranos" – explained that she "was always very anonymous" when it came to politics. She even said she still considers herself to be a liberal on certain issues.

However, she felt the need to talk about "freedom."

"Then all of a sudden, I was speaking the truth about my situation, which led to more and more freedom talks, talking about freedom," de Matteo told host Stuart Varney. "A lot of people have been so focused on these social issues these days. And the social issues are what's tearing everybody apart. And I think we need to be focused on the global issue and what is really going on behind the facade. And I don't think a lot of my friends recognize that yet."

"I accidentally spoke out. I had no intentions of being this person on Fox News ever in my life," she continued.

De Matteo said many Hollywood actors are "petrified" to voice any criticisms of President Biden.

She said of Biden, "The man needs to take a rest. They need to stop using him as the poster child for their agenda. He's not here. It's like putting my mother out there. She has dementia. It's sad, it's not humane."

De Matteo accused the Biden administration of being divisive.

"I feel like the Biden administration was used to divide people. I think that the division in America is beyond — and I don't think that we know really where it's coming from," she declared. "I doubt that it's just an old man who doesn't even know he's reading half the time. I don't think he's making any of these executive decisions on social issues."

De Matteo said the Biden administration's focus on left-wing social issues was a distraction from issues that are monumental for everyday Americans.

Jimmy Butler and Usher fan the flames of new wave feminism with THESE ridiculous outfits



Host of Shaking My Headlines and frequent contributor to Jason Whitlock’s "Fearless" Shemeka Michelle has noticed a disturbing trend: black male celebrities are appearing more and more feminine.

NBA star Jimmy Butler showed up to NBA Media Day “looking like Jermaine Stewart,” Shemeka Michelle says. Butler painted his nails black, had piercings adorn his face, and straightened his hair to cover one eye.

His appearance resembled an emo high schooler straight out of the early 2000s — which has many NBA fans wondering if he’s “out of the closet,” Shemeka notes.

However, Jimmy Butler isn’t the only one whose recent outfit choices are calling his sexuality into question.

“Now, in other 'looking like a fool' news, Usher showed up to the Business of Fashion celebration dressed like a high-priced pusher of shortbread Thin Mints and Tagalongs,” she mocks.

“He looked like a Louis Vuitton Girl Scout.”

Usher wore a beret covered in pearls; studded loafers; high, ruffled, white socks; and a kilt to match.

“Sources say black men are getting way too comfortable dressing effeminately for likes and laughs,” and “if they wanted to see delusional men in dresses, they’d watch Caitlyn Jenner on failing Fox News,” Shemeka Michelle jokes.

Legendary NFL quarterback Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bündchen officially file for divorce: The 'painful' announcements from former power couple worth hundreds of millions



Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady and former Victoria's Secret supermodel Gisele Bündchen officially announced that they are divorced on Friday. The divorce was filed in Florida and ended the power couple's 13-year marriage. They share two children — 12-year-old son Benjamin and 9-year-old daughter Vivian Lake.

Brady made the "painful" announcement in a post on Instagram.

"In recent days, my wife and I finalized our divorce from one another after 13 years of marriage," Brady said. "We arrived at this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together."

"We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way," the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback stated. "We will continue to work together as parents to always ensure they receive the love and attention they deserve."

"We arrived at this decision to end our marriage after much consideration. Doing so is, of course, painful and difficult, like it is for many people who go through the same thing every day around the world," he continued. "However we wish only the best for each other as we pursue whatever new chapters in our lives that are yet to be written. And we kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate what is to come in the days and weeks ahead. Thank you."

Bündchen released her own statement on Twitter.

"With much gratitude for our time together, Tom and I have amicably finalized our divorce," Bündchen announced. "My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart. We will continue co-parenting to give them the love, care and attention they greatly deserve."

"The decision to end a marriage is never easy but we have grown apart and while it is, of course, difficult to go through something like this, I feel blessed for the time we had together and only wish the best for Tom always," the Brazilian fashion model added. "I kindly ask that our privacy be respected during this sensitive time."

A source told TMZ, "Lawyers for both Gisele and Tom have been working with a mediator to hammer out both property settlement and custody."

Tom Brady has an estimated net worth of $250 million. Gisele Bündchen has a reported net worth of $400 million.

The divorce arrives months following the 45-year-old Brady deciding to retire from the NFL after 22 years so that he can focus his "time and energy on other things that require my attention."

However, he then backtracked and returned to the Buccaneers in March.

"I've realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. That time will come. But it's not now," he wrote on Twitter.

This season, the Brady-led Buccaneers have a record of 3-5 and have lost three straight games. Brady and the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl in his first year in Tampa after he was with the New England Patriots for nearly all of his illustrious football career.

In September, Bündchen revealed that she had "concerns" about Brady returning to football.

"Obviously, I have my concerns — this is a very violent sport, and I have my children and I would like him to be more present," Gisele told Elle magazine. "I have definitely had those conversations with him over and over again. But ultimately, I feel that everybody has to make a decision that works for [them]. He needs to follow his joy, too."

In early October, Brady and Bündchen reportedly hired divorce lawyers.

The couple got married in February 2009.

Justin Bieber postponed tour dates after the left side of his face becomes paralyzed



Pop music icon Justin Bieber recently revealed that he has been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, a rare disorder that has left the right side of his face paralyzed.

The singer took to social media to explain what was going on and why he decided to postpone some of the recent dates on his latest tour.

Speaking to his fans in a prerecorded video, Bieber said, “Hey everyone, Justin here. I wanted to update you guys on what’s been going on. Obviously, as you can probably see from my face, I have this syndrome called Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, and it is from this virus that attacks the nerve in my ear, my facial nerves, and it is causing my face to have paralysis.”

The singer noted that his right is eye unable to blink and that he currently only has partial control over his facial muscles.

Bieber indicated that the right side of his face has “full paralysis.”

He said, “This nostril will not move, so there’s full paralysis on this side of my face.”

The singer also indicated that he postponed recent and upcoming shows because he “physically” is not capable of performing for crowds in his current condition.

Bieber said, “For those who are frustrated by my cancellations of the next shows, I’m just physically, obviously not capable of doing them. This is pretty serious, as you can see. I wish this wasn’t the case, but obviously, my body is telling me I gotta slow down.”

He also made clear that his prerogative is to get better quickly so that he can get back to performing.

Bieber said, “I hope you guys understand … I’ll be using this time to just rest and relax and get back to 100% so I can do what I was born to do, but in the meantime, this ain’t it. I gotta go get my rest on so I can get my face back to where it’s supposed to be. I love you guys; thanks for being patient with me. I’m going to get better. I’m doing all these facial exercises to get my face back to normal.”

Bieber also assured his fans that the condition would pass but that he was unclear how long it would take to make a full recovery. “It will go back to normal … we don’t know how much time it’s gonna be, but it’s going to be okay.

“I trust God, and I trust that this is all for a reason, and I’m not sure what that is right now, but in the meantime, I’m gonna rest, and I love you guys,” Bieber said.

Former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley: 'Trump is the strongest leader that we've got on the table'



Former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley says he likes to keep focused on making music and doesn't like to talk about politics. But in a recent interview, the 69-year-old rocker made clear he's supporting President Donald Trump for re-election in 2020.

"I don't think politics and rock and roll mix — in my opinion," Frehley told "The Cassius Morris Show" in an interview reported by Blabbermouth.net. The topic of politics came up while Frehley was discussing his new rendition of the Cream song "Politician," to appear on an upcoming covers album, "Origins Vol. 2."

"I try to stay away from that as much as I can. I mean, once in a while, I'll make a crack," Frehley said. "I will say I'm a Trump supporter."

"All the politicians have had skeletons in the closet," he continued. "But I think Trump is the strongest leader that we've got on the table."

The last time Frehley spoke up about politics was in 2018, when he said Americans should support the president or "go move to another country."

"I don't think politics and music mix," he said on a podcast. "I really frown on musicians who get up on a platform and start talking about the president or complain about — I just don't think it belongs. I'm an entertainer. There's no reason to bring up politics. Let me play my guitar and write songs and entertain people. That's my job."

"Let me say this about Trump," he continued. "Whether you love him or hate him, if you're an American and you're a patriot, you should get behind your president. He was elected. We live under the Constitution of the United States, and you're supposed to support your president. Love him or hate him, you're supposed to support him, or go move to another country."

Back then, Frehley said that while Americans obviously have a right to say whatever they want, entertainers shouldn't be especially vocal about politics.

"Being American, we have the right to free speech, and I'm all for everybody putting their two cents in on everything," he said. "But when musicians or actors get really verbal and jump on a bandwagon against our government, I don't agree with that."

At least one of Frehley's former bandmates feels differently. KISS vocalist Paul Stanley is an outspoken liberal and frequent critic of President Trump. Last month Stanley made news for criticizing Trump's comments on the November election. The president said, "The only way we're going to lose this election is if this election is rigged," at a campaign stop in Wisconsin. Stanley blasted Trump's comments in a tweet, calling them "incendiary & abhorrent."

REGARDLESS of who you support, it is incendiary & abhorrent for ANY candidate to say “If I lose, the election is ri… https://t.co/Qcwdf11GTu
