'Shahs of Sunset' star says Iranians back military action despite US critics "Shahs of Sunset" star Reza Farahan is speaking out about the United States and Israel's military action against Iran. During an interview with Fox News Digital, the Iranian-born 52-year-old reality star, who authored the forthcoming book "Memoirs of a Gay Shah," explained that he and his family came to America on a family trip in 1977 and ended up staying after unrest in Iran escalated into revolution.During the 1979 Iranian Revolution, the country's former monarch, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, was overthrown and replaced by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who established an Islamic Republic that transformed the country into a theocratic state governed by strict religious rule.  US UNLEASHES OPERATION EPIC FURY STRIKES 1,700 IRAN TARGETS IN 72 HOURS Last weekend, U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched coordinated strikes on Iranian military and nuclear targets, during which Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed. Iran retaliated with missile and drone strikes against Israel and U.S. military bases in several Middle Eastern states. The conflict comes on the heels of widespread anti-government protests in Iran that erupted in December 2025 and were met with brutal crackdowns by the government that left thousands dead.During an interview with Fox News Digital, Farahan shared his insight into how Iranians living in the country have reacted to the U.S. and Israel-led strikes. "I've spoken to relatives and friends who are in Iran, and I know it's hard for non-Iranians to understand this, but the Iranians in Iran are so happy that there is military intervention that has come to help rescue them from the Islamic Republic," he said. "I know, especially for people that are anti-our President, they can't understand why," Farahan continued. "Why are the people in Iran happy? They're happy because the prospect of freedom is something that they've dreamed of for so many years." "I urge the American population to do their own research, keep an open mind, and think about what the Iranians inside of Iran are begging for," he added. Farahan also described the response that he was seeing in the Iranian-American community. "Utter elation and gratitude for the prospect that there could be potential regime change and freedom for people that have been oppressed by a fanatical religious dictator for 47 years," he told Fox News Digital.  According to a recent Fox News poll, American opinion on the U.S. military action against Iran is sharply divided. While 65% of voters see Iran as a serious national security threat, about 50% of those polled approve of the strikes and about 50% disapprove.

"When the creed and motto of a dictator is 'Death to America,' and they force the people to chant that all the livelong day, believe them."  'SHAHS OF SUNSET' STARS ARE WILD, 'TURNT' ON THE RED CARPET "That's not just a message, it's their goal," Farahan continued.

Officials then mocked the singer and suggested her outrage only fueled their momentum. WHITE HOUSE FIRES BACK AFTER SABRINA CARPENTER SLAMS ICE VIDEO USING HER SONG Deputy Assistant to the President and White House Deputy Communications Director Kaelan Dorr posted on X, "Kesha quotes are like Popeye's spinach to this team. Memes? They'll continue. Winning? Will also continue."White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also spoke about the topic on X, writing, "All these 'singers' keep falling for this. This just gives us more attention and more view counts to our videos because people want to see what they're b----ing about. Thank you for your attention to this matter."Kesha, 39, accused the White House of using her song to "incite violence and threaten war.""It's come to my attention that the White House has used one of my songs on TikTok to incite violence and threaten war," she wrote on social media Monday. "Trying to make light of war is disgusting and inhumane."The "Die Young" singer said she "absolutely" does not "approve of my music being used to promote violence of any kind."

This show of blatant disregard for human life and, quite frankly, this attack on all of our nervous systems is the opposite of what I stand for," the post continued.She later criticized President Donald Trump and mentioned his references in the Jeffrey Epstein files."Stop using my music, perverts @WhiteHouse," she wrote on X.Public court filings tied to Epstein have fueled renewed scrutiny in recent months. The New York Times reported that Trump's name appeared roughly 38,000 times in documents released in January. Trump has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing connected to his past association with Epstein. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER In January, the Justice Department made public more than three million additional Epstein records, including personal emails. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told Fox News Digital at the time that "in none of these communications, even when doing his best to disparage President Trump, did Epstein suggest President Trump had done anything criminal or had any inappropriate contact with any of his victims."She joins other artists, including Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo , who have publicly objected to the administration's use of their music.Carpenter previously condemned the use of her song "Juno" in a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) video, calling it "evil and disgusting" and writing, "Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda."White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson responded, "Here's a Short n' Sweet message for Sabrina Carpenter: we won't apologize for deporting dangerous criminal illegal murderers, rapists, and pedophiles from our country. Anyone who would defend these sick monsters must be stupid, or is it slow?"Fox News Digital reached out to Kesha's team for comment. Nelson twins refused 'dishonorable' bankruptcy to protect father's legacy after inheriting millions in debt The Nelson family came dangerously close to losing one of Hollywood's most iconic properties.After the sudden death of their father, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Ricky Nelson, platinum-selling twins Gunnar and Matthew Nelson were forced into an unexpected fight to save the family legacy.Millions in debt threatened to strip them of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" and their father's music catalog, but the brothers refused to let the estate be dismantled.Instead, they quietly paid off the debts themselves, keeping all 435 episodes of the classic series and their father's catalog fully intact - a rare win in an entertainment world where family legacies are often sold off piece by piece. HOW THE NELSON TWINS WENT FROM PACKING ARENAS TO BEING 'F---ING BROKE' DESPITE MAKING MILLIONS Gunnar exclusively told Fox News Digital the family was on the brink of losing it all after his father's death."Well, it was pretty close. I mean, when our father passed away, the estate was millions in debt, and people don't know that. But that was really kind of the thing that Nelsons also did - we didn't air our dirty laundry in public," Gunnar emphasized."We came from a different period of time, you know, we were the anti-Kardashians , so to speak. We weren't the kind of people that would take pictures of ourselves and film what we ate."Gunnar said maintaining privacy and protecting the family's reputation was always a priority. Pride, he explained, ran deep in the Nelson family - from his grandparents down to his father."It was just kind of one of those things that grandpa and grandma had a lot of pride. And our father did as well. I mean, he lived and died for rock and roll. He was playing up to 300 shows a year up until the day he died in the plane crash," he continued. WATCH: GUNNAR NELSON SAYS FAMILY FACED MILLIONS IN DEBT AFTER FATHER'S FATAL PLANE CRASH On New Year's Eve 1985, Ricky Nelson died in a plane crash in DeKalb, Texas. He was 45. Six others on board also perished. Forty years later, his children reflected on that tragedy."What that meant was, after he passed away, this was a guy that struggled financially his entire life to provide for the family."Rather than declare what they called a "dishonorable" bankruptcy - which would have thrown the family's assets into the hands of the highest bidder - Gunnar and his twin brother, Matthew, took on the debt themselves. This allowed the Nelson name, their father's legacy and the TV classic to remain fully in the family.The Nelson twins, performing as Nelson, grew up steeped in Hollywood royalty. Their lineage includes grandparents Ozzie Nelson and Harriet Nelson, father Ricky Nelson, sister Tracy Nelson and uncle Mark Harmon.Gunnar said protecting the family's legacy wasn't just financial - it was about preserving decades of hard-earned pride and artistry.The Nelson brothers were very young when their father died, suddenly facing responsibilities they hadn't imagined."Matthew and I were a couple of kids. We were just 18, and our dad was our best friend. So we were kind of dealing with all of that stuff. And then, at the same time, we got hit by the double whammy of the finances," Gunnar said.Ricky had always shielded his kids from the family's struggles. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "Our father was a good father. He wanted to hide all of the challenges. It was his role, he felt, to allow his children to have a good life... But when we actually opened up the books... it was sobering, and it forced my twin brother and I to grow up immediately.""It was sink or swim, and I am honestly proud to say that everybody acted with integrity, and our father's good name was preserved," he added.Now exploring streaming opportunities for "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet," the brothers have one "non-negotiable." WATCH: NELSONS REFUSE TO SELL 'OZZIE AND HARRIET' RIGHTS IN 'NON-NEGOTIABLE' STANCE "Selling it. No, we don't sell. We rent, we lease, we license. That was the one lesson that I think our grandfather passed along to us was the family show needs to belong to the family as far as ownership is concerned. But we are looking for a wonderful home to license it to. And it's all about mutual benefit and all that but I think that's the one non-negotiable thing."Gunnar called out the modern entertainment industry, where massive conglomerates snap up catalogs and properties at such a fast pace, warning that "Ozzie and Harriet" would never be part of that cycle. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER "Some of the deals that they're throwing around are giant. And that's fine. I think that's great for most people. But I think for this particular family and this particular property, that would probably be a no-go as far as the show's concerned," he said.Gunnar and Matthew are in talks with major streaming platforms, looking to bring "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" to a new generation."There's a lot for us to be proud of as a family, and we know that the show means so much more to so many people than just another television show," Gunnar told Fox News Digital. "And I'm really actually grateful to be part of this family and be the one that's out there representing what the family really does stand for because, again, I think it matters in a time where everything's disposable."The year 2026 marks two milestones for the Nelson family - 40 years since Ricky's death and 60 years since the final episode of the popular series .For the brothers, it's a rare moment to highlight resilience and why family legacies are worth fighting for.The famous Nelson brothers penned their story and their own rise to fame in their latest memoir, "What Happened to Your Hair?"

That peaceful image was shattered Saturday as Iranian weaponry rained down on Dubai , setting fire to a five-star resort, threatening the world's tallest building, and killing one person and injuring seven others at the airport in the capital city of Abu Dhabi.Stanbury, 49, has been unable to return home to her teenage sons as tensions escalate. Stanbury's separation from her twin boys has weighed on her, even though she doesn't believe her kids are in immediate danger."Obviously, it's not ideal for anyone to be separated from their children in something so serious as this and so unpredictable, so unprecedented," Stanbury told Fox News Digital, noting she has considered the UAE the safest place for her family over the last 12 years. "So, I was just sad not to be there."

I'm still 17 hours away," Stanbury admitted. "I've been trying to get home, but obviously that's not happening right now."

The flights out of Dubai and Abu Dhabi took place as the U.S. State Department urged its own citizens in 13 countries, including the UAE, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon and Oman, to "depart now via commercial means due to serious safety risks."Since U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and retaliatory attacks on Israel and Gulf states started Saturday, commercial flights have been halted or heavily restricted, leaving tourists, business travelers, migrant workers and religious pilgrims stuck in hotels, airports and aboard cruise ships. Aviation analytics firm Cirium says about 13,000 flights scheduled into and out of the Middle East have been canceled since the strikes started Saturday. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS Stuck abroad and unable to leave Dubai, Stanbury explained her sons initially took the situation in stride."First of all, they're teenage boys," she told Fox News Digital. "So luckily for me, I think at the beginning, you know, it was kind of like, 'Whoa, mom, calm down, everything's fine.' You know what teenage boys can be like. So, I kind of liked to leave them in that bubble of like, 'OK, let them worry about me - me not them.'"By the second night, the situation had become more real for her boys. The loud blasts, later identified as defense systems activating, rattled her children as they tried to keep up with news coverage."I think the second night was a little bit scarier for them," Stanbury explained. "And they realized that this may be ongoing and that they would like to be with me or their father at this time. So, that was difficult."

She also explained she had been in Austin, Texas, two nights before the 6th Street shooting on March 1."Twenty-four hours later, there was a shooting on the street that we had dinner," she noted. "So, you know, it's - where is safe?"The "Uncut and Uncensored" podcast host noted that violence happens everywhere these days. "That's the problem," Stanbury added. "You just have to be vigilant all around. It's not about moving to different cities anymore, sadly.""You just have to teach your children and yourself to learn how to protect yourself the best you can, but you can't prepare for any of this," Stanbury said.

Paula Deen speaks out about 'horrifying' gunpoint robbery after 1987 attacker is found dead in NYC Paula Deen said she collapsed the day she was held at gunpoint by a masked robber while working at a bank in 1987, before her career as a celebrity chef.Deen told Fox News Digital that she was the head teller at Albany First Federal in Georgia and was planning to quit because her husband got an opportunity in Savannah, but her boss asked if she could fill in for one day at another branch where there was just one woman who was fairly new.She said, after walking into the bank and looking at her coworker, "I said, 'Oh, heavens to Betsy. This is a perfect setup for a robbery.' And she said, 'Oh, girl, don't say that.'"But at 4 p.m., "a man burst through the front door fully masked and waving a gun. And he didn't even glance her way," Deen said of the other woman. "But came straight to me and put that gun against my head. And I said, 'Oh, my Lord, he's going to shoot me out of just reflex,' just because he was trembling so bad.

"So, I said, 'Well I'll probably be dead at 42,' also because my mother died at 44, so I wouldn't have been surprised at all because I was expecting to be dead by the time I was 40. And now I'm 79."

And in looking back, I truly feel like if he had known I was in there, he wouldn't have done it. I just totally believe that now in hindsight ." Despite the horrible experience, Deen said she has gained a "soft spot" for the robber, who was found dead in his New York City apartment last week, over the years.When the press interviewed him while he was in custody after the robbery, Deen said he told them, "'Listen, leave that poor woman alone. She didn't do anything wrong. And I am so sorry for the pain that I caused her.' So that put a soft spot in my heart for this man."Deen also explained that she had suffered from agoraphobia from the time she was young, which made her "fearful of everything ." "Fear ruled my life, and that's such a bad place to be," she continued. "But yeah, fear was always there, and after you face so many things, you know, it kind of makes you stronger.

And some of them would actually give me their phone number and I would call them, you know, to thank them for their love and support. It was, you know, my reputation didn't have a blemish on it. And for that to be taken away from you, your name, everything you stood for, for that it be taken because of greed, it was tragic."She said the central theme of the messages she received was:, 'Paula, we know who you are, and we know that you're not that,' because there is not a racist bone in my body.

Justin Timberlake sues Sag Harbor police to block bodycam footage release from DWI arrest Justin Timberlake is suing Sag Harbor village in an attempt to prohibit the release of bodycam footage from his 2024 arrest, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.Timberlake, 45, pleaded guilty in September 2024 to "driving while ability impaired," and received community service in addition to offering a public apology as part of a plea agreement.The "Can't Stop The Feeling" singer filed a petition Monday against the Sag Harbor Village Police Department; Robert Drake, in his official capacity as the chief of police of the Sag Harbor Village Police Department; and the Village of Sag Harbor to prevent eight hours of footage from the night Timberlake was arrested from being disseminated to the public. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE'S LAWYER CLAIMS POLICE MADE 'SIGNIFICANT ERRORS' DURING STAR'S DWI ARREST In the petition, Timberlake's legal team claimed they were notified on March 1 of the department's intention to respond to a request under the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) to release all eight hours of bodycam footage from his June 18, 2024, arrest , which were subject to "undisclosed redactions for 'medical' reasons and for the security of the Sag Harbor police complex."Timberlake argued that the footage "contains personally identifying information and private details that are not germane to any law enforcement action of public concern and that would not otherwise be visible to the public but for the presence and recording of law enforcement officers.""The footage at issue depicts Petitioner in an acutely vulnerable state during a roadside encounter with law enforcement, capturing intimate details of Petitioner's physical appearance, demeanor, speech, and conduct during field sobriety testing, the subsequent arrest, and Petitioner's confinement following arrest over the next several hours," the petition stated. LIKE WHAT YOU'RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS "Public dissemination of this footage would cause severe and irreparable harm to Petitioner's personal and professional reputation, subject Petitioner to public ridicule and harassment, and serve no legitimate public interest in understanding the operations of government."Timberlake requested the court "prohibit the disclosure of the body-worn camera footage in whole, or in part, as an unwarranted invasion of privacy not subject to disclosure under FOIL.""The harm from public exposure-stigma, harassment, reputational injury, and the permanent loss of privacy-is immediate and irreparable," documents stated.When pulled over by authorities the morning of June 18, Timberlake "performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests," the arresting officer claimed in documents obtained by Fox News Digital.Timberlake had "bloodshot and glossy" eyes, a "strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath" and he was "unable to divide attention," according to the complaint. The "Cry Me A River" singer also exhibited "slowed speech" and was "unsteady afoot." Timberlake's lawyer , Edward Burke Jr., previously claimed police made "significant errors" during the musician's June arrest. WATCH: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE DRIVING IN THE HAMPTONS AHEAD OF DWI ARREST "The most important fact to know about this case is that Justin was not intoxicated and should not have been arrested for DWI," Burke said in a statement to Fox News Digital. "The police made a number of very significant errors in this case. In court today, you heard the district attorney try to fix one of those errors. But that's just one, and there are many others. Sometimes the police make mistakes, and this is just one of those instances." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Shortly after Timberlake pleaded guilty, he apologized for his actions in a public plea. "This is a mistake that I made, but I'm hoping that whoever's watching and listening right now can learn from this mistake," Timberlake said. "I know that I certainly have. And like I said, even one drink, don't get behind the wheel of a car." Timberlake was originally charged with one count of driving while intoxicated along with citations for failure to keep right and failure to stop at a stop sign, the district attorney's office confirmed to Fox News Digital at the time.The pop star told the arresting officer he had one martini and was following some friends home, according to the documents.

Cher's son reportedly claimed to be 'prospective parent' before arrest at elite prep school: What to know Cher's son, Elijah Allman, is facing misdemeanor charges following his arrest last week at St. Paul's School - but what remains unclear is why he was on the New Hampshire boarding school's campus in the first place.On Feb. 27, the 49-year-old, who is the son of the 79-year-old singer and the late rock musician Gregg Allman, was taken into custody after causing a disturbance in the dining hall of St. Paul's School in Concord. Allman was arrested and charged with four misdemeanors, including two counts of simple assault and two counts of criminal trespass and criminal threatening, as well as a violation of disorderly conduct. Allman was later released on bail.Allman has no connection to the elite prep school, officials told local TV station WMUR. According to a message from St. Paul's officials that was sent to parents and obtained by the Concord Monitor, Allman claimed that he was a "prospective parent." However, Allman, who is reportedly separated from his wife, singer Marieangela "Queenie" King, has no known children. CHER'S SON ARRESTED AT ELITE ST. PAUL'S SCHOOL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE ON MULTIPLE CRIMINAL CHARGES, INCLUDING ASSAULT Per the message, Allman displayed aggressive behavior toward faculty members and police officers prior to his arrest.School officials said the incident started around 6 p.m., when Allman was driven by another individual onto the campus, after which he walked into the dining hall as students were exiting. Allman reportedly smoked a cigarette while engaging with students inside the dining hall. The school said that Allman became agitated when some students began following him, allegedly "poking one with his cane" during the encounter. Faculty and campus safety officers responded once informed of the disturbance. School officials said that once they confronted Allman, he allegedly "pushed one faculty member with his cane" before being escorted from the building. "He was belligerent toward our adults and the police officers," school officials wrote in the message. The school said that the incident coincided with a playoff hockey game, winter dance and music performances, drawing more adults who were unfamiliar to the students to the campus than usual. SHIA LABEOUF 'NOT INTO' REHAB PUSH, CITES 'SMALL MAN COMPLEX' FOR MARDI GRAS BRAWL The individual who drove Allman onto the campus was questioned at the scene but not detained. Afterward, the person departed the campus immediately in their vehicle, according to the message. According to the Concord Monitor, Allman was arrested two days later at a home in Windham, New Hampshire , after allegedly breaking into the residence. Police responded to a 911 call around 9:47 a.m. about someone entering a home through a back door that had been shattered, with the caller hiding in a closet. When officers arrived, they found Allman sitting on the living room couch smoking a cigarette and took him into custody without incident.According to police, nothing appeared to be stolen, but a glass pane in the rear door had been shattered and there was a fresh cigarette burn on a rug inside the home. The estimated cost of the damage was about $1,000. Per court records obtained by the Concord Monitor, Allman told officers that the homeowner had given him permission "to enter the residence and break the door."Allman will be arraigned on April 20 at Concord District Court and March 11 at Salem District Court, according to the Concord Monitor,In the message from St. Paul's, school officials wrote that in response to the incident, they intend to update staff training and reinforce protocols for campus visitors."While this event was serious, it would not have garnered media attention if it were not for Mr. Allman's celebrity status," the school wrote.Allman has a long history of mental health and substance abuse problems . News broke in June 2025 that he was taken to a hospital in San Bernardino County for demonstrating erratic behavior after authorities received a disturbance call.  DAVID BOWIE'S DAUGHTER WAS IN A TREATMENT PROGRAM WHEN STAR DIED, RECALLS BEING 'FORCIBLY' TAKEN FROM HOME "Deputies from our Morongo Basin Station responded to a residence in Landers for a male subject acting erratically," authorities from the Bernardino County Sheriff's Office said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "When deputies arrived, Elijah Allman, 48, was being evaluated by emergency medical personnel. Deputies located drugs inside the home, and Allman was transported to the hospital. The investigation is ongoing."Cher was previously appointed the temporary conservator of Allman in December 2023, as documents claimed that her son is "substantially unable to manage his financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues."In her bid for conservatorship, she argued that while he is entitled to the money provided to him in the trust set up by his father, the late musician Gregg Allman, due to "his ongoing mental health and substance abuse issues," any money he gets "will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah's life at risk."Allman responded to his mother's petition a month later in January 2024, noting he didn't feel comfortable with his mom handling his finances."I do not need her unsolicited help or support at this time," he stated in the documents. Allman stated in documents that he had since refrained from the use of illicit substances that "have historically caused the incidents that have given rise to my mother's concern." DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER'S STEPSON ARRESTED AFTER 13-YEAR-OLD SON'S FATAL SHOOTING The "Believe" hitmaker later lost her temporary conservatorship over Allman in January 2024.While Allman reportedly has no known affiliation with St. Paul's School, he has previously spoken out about how he began attending boarding school from a very young age, which he said led him to feel rejected. "When you go to boarding school at 7 years old, it's kind of hard to feel like you're not being shunned," he said during a 2014 interview with Entertainment Tonight. "But I'm at an age where I'm making peace with it because you just have to. But I still...it doesn't mean it's right. It's still wrong to do that."Allman explained that he would often visit his parents in New York City on the weekends. He said that during his trips to Manhattan, he and his friends would obtain drugs."So I would come home on the weekend and me and my friends would go up to Harlem and get into all kinds of trouble," he said. "It's actually shocking to think about myself at like 11 years old buying drugs in Harlem. It's pretty crazy. It seemed normal at the time."Allman later enrolled at The Hyde School , a private college-prep boarding school with a character-education focus in Bath, Maine that serves students in grades 9-12. He graduated from The Hyde School in 1994. After graduation, Allman formed the rock band Deadsy with his friends Alec Puro and Renn Hawkey in 1995. Allman, who is the band's frontman, adopted the stage name P. Exeter Blue, which he has previously said was inspired in part by the elite New England boarding school Phillips Exeter Academy.During a 1997 interview with Lollipop magazine, Allman and Hawkey, who attended The Hyde School together, explained how their band's aesthetic was influenced by their prep school experiences. "The artery of this band is the whole New England Prep School thing," Allma said. "The whole legacy and prestige of New England, and these kids just coming up and smashing and robbing all the organization from it. All the debauchery, the uniforms, the crests, the blazers. We love all that s---. People might not understand all of that, but they will. It was only a few years ago." CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER "That whole version of New England life, we're really into that," he added.Allman explained that the band's concept was inspired by what he saw as the perception versus the reality of prep-school culture.

And on the weekend you can go home and get more money from your parents to go back and do more drugs," he said. "The usual concept of prep school is such a misleading idea! It's like college before college."Hawkey told the outlet that he and Allman were the "preppy punks" at The Hyde School."That was us," Allman said. "We're the ones who ran the whole underground. The kids who were full New Wavers but still made the dress code. So we're taking that into this world." Fox News Digital's Lori A.

You go to something else. I started smoking crack to get off heroin," Idol said."Did you really?" Maher asked, and Idol replied, "It worked. It worked," with a laugh.In the new documentary, "Billy Idol Should Be Dead," the 70-year-old rock legend spoke about his career and the bad boy ways that almost cost him his music career and his life."I had it all, and I lit it with butane," he told The New York Times.

"There's a point in my life where I was very drug addicted," he added, later acknowledging how lucky he is to be alive."I'm lucky that I've kept the brain I've got, because some people went brain-dead, and some people ended up in jail forever. Or dead," he told the outlet. "Imagine if it was today. If I was doing what I was back then today, I would be dead because I would have run into fentanyl."When speaking with The New York Times, Steve Stevens, Idol's longtime guitarist, explained that he "learned a lot" when watching the documentary, including just how bad his addiction was back then, with the documentary explaining that much of his bad behavior was hidden from the public at the time.Idol moved to the United States in 1981 to try and make it as a solo artist after parting ways with his band in the U.K., Generation X.

Maher asked why he was turning blue after doing heroine and Idol said that's what happens when you're dying. "If you're dying, you're gonna start turning blue," Idol said.Idol shared that he only injected heroin into his body "a few times," but he preferred to snort it.  CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER In addition to his drug use, the "White Wedding" singer's wild ways on his motorcycle also cost him career opportunities. A motorcycle crash in 1990, which almost cost the singer his leg, forced him to turn down a role in " The Terminator " sequel as the role involved more running than he was capable of."I've always flirted with death, in a way. Even riding motorcycles , you're staring at the concrete," he told The Associated Press. "It's right there, you can come off that thing and get horribly messed up. And I've done it. It's horrible. You find out how human you are, how vulnerable. There's lots of things about my life that, yeah, I did kind of call death at times. Not really mean to, but you just were living like that."Idol became a parent in the late 1980s, first welcoming his son, Willem, 37, with his girlfriend, Perri Lister, in 1988, and then his daughter, Bonnie, 36, with girlfriend, Linda Mathis, in 1989.

"It took a long time, but gradually I did achieve some sort of discipline where I'm not really the same kind of guy I was in the '80s. I'm not the same drug-addicted person."Now, Idol considers himself to be "California sober."
