US vetted stars' politics to showcase Trump virus response
Director Judd Apatow believes Trump โdoes not have the intellectual capacity to run as president,โ according to a list of more than 200 celebrities compiled by one of the firms. โI have ordered a strategic review of this public health education campaign that will be led by our top public health and communications experts to determine whether the campaign serves important public health purposes,โ Azar told the subcommittee, which is investigating the federal governmentโs response to the coronavirus outbreak. Because public health policy around the coronavirus pandemic has become so politically polarized, itโs unclear how well a confidence-building campaign from the government would play. And Trump has alienated much of the medical establishment with his dismissive comments about basic public health measures, such as wearing masks. Antony and Quaid were among just a few celebrities who were approved for the campaign, according to the documents.

Miley Cyrus Says Her Family's History Influenced Her to Stay Sober
Miley Cyrus is opening up about her decision to get sober. The 27-year-old singer appeared on Variety's Big Ticket podcast and discussed how both a surgery and her family's history led to her sobriety. Though the sobriety began as a necessity of the surgery, which Cyrus now views as "the biggest blessing," the singer decided to stay the course after thinking about her family's history in therapy. "I did a lot of family history, which has a lot of kind of addiction and kind of mental health challenges. Though she's certainly content in her decision to stay sober, Cyrus admitted that it's a "really hard" lifestyle to maintain as a young person.
