Levi revealed that he was initially hesitant when asked by Tulsi Gabbard to moderate a town hall in support of Trump. However, after praying and thinking deeply about it, he felt a sense of peace and conviction. "I felt peace because I knew that this was more important than saving my career," Levi explained. He believes that taking a stand for what he believes in is crucial, even if it means sacrificing his career.

Levi emphasized the significance of free speech and the need to protect it. He noted that many people misunderstand the concept of free speech, which actually protects hate speech. Levi stressed that he's not willing to give up his life or career for the sake of political correctness.

Megyn Kelly observed that America seems to be entering a new era, where people are moving away from identity politics and divisive rhetoric. Levi agreed, stating that it's time for a "cleanse and transparency" in the country. He emphasized the importance of knowing what's in our food, water, and drugs, and holding leaders accountable for their actions.

Levi recently starred in Jon Gunn's The Unbreakable Boy, alongside Meghann Fahy, Jacob Laval, and Patricia Heaton. Despite potential backlash from his political views, Levi's career seems to be thriving.

"I couldn't do it, and I should have, but I didn't," Hudson said. "When I saw that one, I thought, awful. However, everything occurs for a purpose. There is a reason behind that.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori make shocking Grammys entrance with daring naked red carpet look

According to The Hollywood Reporter's red carpet coverage, Censori dropped her coat to reveal an exceedingly sheer minidress in an open, nude-toned mesh with seemingly no underwear within. Extra security measures were immediately implemented, and photographers were asked to step back six inches. The photographers had already gone silent as the couple arrived, making it all the easier to hear one lady photographer say, "What a reveal."

What is Bell's Palsy? Signs, triggers, and treatment options

Image
Bell’s palsy is a neurological disorder that causes temporary facial paralysis, typically affecting only one side of the face. This condition can result in symptoms such as a lopsided smile, difficulty closing one eyelid, and a drooping face. Though the condition is temporary for most, it can significantly impact daily life. Lil Nas X reveals he's been hospitalized, says he's 'lost control' of half his face. Getty Images The Causes of Bell’s Palsy The primary cause of Bell's palsy is inflammation of the seventh cranial nerve, also known as the facial nerve, which controls the muscles of the face.

Jenna Ortega confirms 'Scream' exit was tied to Melissa Barrera firing, not scheduling

Image
‎In a candid interview with The Cut, Jenna Ortega clarified the long-speculated reason behind her departure from the Scream franchise, confirming it was not due to scheduling conflicts as previously reported, but rather her disillusionment with how the production handled the firing of co-star Melissa Barrera. ' Jenna Ortega. ' Getty Images ‎ ‎Ortega, who played Tara Carpenter in 2022’s Scream and 2023’s Scream VI, exited the franchise in November 2023—just one day after Barrera was dismissed over her pro-Palestinian social media posts. At the time, Ortega cited a "shooting schedule" conflict. However, she now admits that was not the truth. ‎ ‎“It had nothing to do with pay or scheduling,” Ortega told The Cut. “The Melissa stuff was happening, and it was all kind of falling apart. If ‘Scream VII’ wasn’t going to be with that team of directors and those people I fell in love with, then it didn’t seem like the right move for me in my career at the time.” ‎ ‎B...
