Matt Bellamy wants to become an American citizen. The British-born Muse frontman admires the “structure” of the US political system and admitted the "chaotic and crazy" time two years ago when Donald Trump was voted out of office in favour of President Joe Biden only strengthened his appreciation for the country. Asked if he has considered taking US citizenship, he told the Los Angeles Times newspaper: "I have.
Overall, I actually think the United States’ structure is really amazing, with all the different ways to make laws at the local level. It seems like every month my wife is voting on some sort of proposition. I’m looking at that going, Wow, England is so behind on that front.
We don’t ever get to vote on policy. "The oddest thing about that late-2020 period where things in America and California seemed so chaotic and crazy was that I felt my connection deepening. There’s something going on here that is critical to what’s happening in the entire world.
America has become a kind of centre point for this idea that there’s an empire on the verge of collapse, and how do we save it? Or how do we know which parts to save and which parts to let fall away? "For some people — Dom [Howard, bandmate], to some extent — it made them want to get out. But for me it had the opposite effect. It’s everything I’m interested in, and it’s massively creatively inspiring.
" While he is looking for US citizenship, Matt recently admitted he would like to move back to the UK with Elle and their two-year-old daughter Lovella, but wouldn't do so if former fiancee Kate Hudson and their 11-year-old son Bingham won't relocate too. Asked about moving back to the UK, he said: “I would like to and Elle loves it too. I need to work on the ex.

When Marg Helgenberger left the first iteration of CSI back in Season 12, she did it because, well, she needed the break.

Whoopi Goldberg was deeply unimpressed by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s remarks Sunday, on which he chose to criticize Joe Biden despite it being the 21st anniversary of 9/11. So, the host of “The View” offered McCarthy some advice: “If you can’t stick to what the day means, then don’t get on television.”As the country observed the day in remembrance, McCarthy used his time on Fox News to say that in 2001 “we had a commander in chief that united the country instead of dividing the country,” as well as to criticize Biden’s foreign policy.
It was time for a guys-only talk on Friday’s Real Time with Bill Maher, as the host welcomed a panel to discuss just what the heck was going on in a week where the Queen died, the NFL opened, and Los Angeles was so hot “it was like Death Valley with In and Out burgers.”

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor Altice USA is making changes at the top: The cable operator announced that it has recruited Comcast veteran Dennis Mathew as CEO.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Stepping into Muse frontman Matt Bellamy’s Los Angeles studio is immediately surreal, on a couple of different fronts. For one thing, there’s the fact that it’s in an unmarked former storefront on a heavily trafficked urban street, so on the other side of the one-way glass, pedestrians are constantly passing by, unaware that they’re about two yards away from a rock star coming up with new songs to potentially join “Madness” or ”Uprising” guy as new KROQ-driven earworms in their heads. But apart from the street scene outside practically brushing up against his console, there’s something else about the place… “I don’t know if you remember the TV show ‘Twin Peaks,’” Bellamy inquires. As a matter of fact, yes. “Do you remember the Red Room? We’re sitting in it, basically,” he says, and sure enough, here in the front room of his studio, there is the black-and-white zig-zag flooring, the wrap-around red drapes, the minimalist lamp, the vaguely retro sitting chair…. Bellamy is a student of fantastical pop culture, so it makes sense that he’s surrounded by a Lynchian throwback space — even if the rock arias he creates here passionately reach for the sky, rather than feeling like they’re stuck in an interdimensional waiting room.
