Rock legend Gene Simmons has called for celebrities to stop talking about politics in an interview with TMZ. This comes after director Ben Stiller criticized the White House for allegedly using a clip from one of his films as a propaganda tool. Simmons responded by saying that everyone should instead listen to actors and comedians who are qualified for their positions. He also expressed his disdain for celebrities who try to mix their political agendas into the public's mix. He called for the stars to focus on their own art and stated that "nobody's interested in your opinions".
