Gene Simmons Blasts Chatty Celebs: 'Zip It on Politics!'

It's a rock 'n' roll faceoff! KISS megastar Gene 'The Demon' Simmons unleashed his wrath on Tinseltown's finest, ordering them to 'shut the f*** up' about their political soapboxing. The 'God of Thunder' went ballistic, suggesting politico-pontificating celebs trade their podiums for their day jobs – simply put, 'Do your art and shut up.' The 76-year-old rocker erupted after Ben Stiller, cheekily known for his role in 'Tropic Thunder,' whined about his flick being snagged for White House promo sans permission, shouting, 'I'm no puppet for your propaganda!' Simmons fired back with a biting, 'Oh, do tell us more, oh wise and all-knowing actors!' and didn't spare 'Buffalo' – sorry, Mark Ruffalo – from his fiery diatribe. In true rebel style, Gene doesn't give a flying guitar pick about celebrity musings, especially when dished from their gilded cribs. Meanwhile, during award season's political chorus, songbird Billie Eilish's dig at U.S. Immigration sparked a frenzy – cue Ted Cruz and Kevin O'Leary's retort and Hulk Ruffalo's counterpunch. Amid this, the 'Rock and Roll All Nite' icon's stance on Trump zigzags – pre-2022, he's all thumbs up; by 2022, Trump's the national divider. So Gene's bottom line? Sing it, strum it, but keep it zip on the politics - the crowd's just not cheering.
