Billie Joe Armstrong Says He’s ‘Uncomfortable’ With Aspects of Fame, Social Media
Billie Joe Armstrong has had enough of non-fans asking for photos. In a new interview with Kerrang!, the Green Day star opened up about fame, mental health, and his opinions on social media. “Sometimes it’s great,” the rock legend said of fame. “When I’m able to communicate with fans and people are cool, and when people get something out of the music and you make these connections. But I think the thing that makes it uncomfortable is how fucked-up social media has become, and how everyone’s got a camera in their pocket now. There are a lot of people out there who aren’t fans who just wanna be guilty by association or something. They wanna hold you in their pocket as a souvenir. And I think that sometimes that’s the part that gets annoying.” The Kerrang! Cover StoryBillie ...

Madonna Supports ‘Demon Sperm’ Doc: ‘My Hero’
Madonna, who has been strangely outspoken since the COVID-19 pandemic began (to put it mildly) found herself in some hot water on Tuesday night after sharing a post in praise of Dr. Stella Immanuel. Rewinding for just a sec, Dr. Immanuel is a doctor (obviously), and appeared on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court on July 27 as part of America’s Frontline Doctors to tout the use of hydroxychloroquine (which doesn’t work) as a cure for COVID-19 and says masks don’t help to reduce transmission. Oh, and the Houston-based Dr. Immanuel believes in “demon sperm” and “alien DNA” and is a favorite of President Donald Trump. That didn’t stop Madonna from singing her praises. “The Truth will set us all Free! But some people don’t want to hear the truth,” Madonna wrote. “Especially the people in ...
