  • Fact Check: Jelly Soap Will NOT Make You Lose Weight -- Expert Says It's Fake

No, that's not true: The Oscar-winning movie star never gave an interview where she denigrated her ex and shilled for a weight-loss line at the same time.

    Fact Check

    Did actor Tom Selleck say "I would say 'f*ck you,'" to critics of Donald Trump? No, that's not true: A story claiming the "Magnum P.I." star is a solid Trump supporter who would say "f*ck you" to those who aren't supporting the president is completely made up and uses some real quotes from another actor.

    Did "former atheist" Brad Pitt "become a Christian" while recovering from alcoholism? No, that's not true: Pitt, who grew up as a Christian, told a GQ magazine interviewer in 2019 that he "called myself an atheist for a while" during a "rebellious" time of his life, but he returned to "spirituality."

    Fact Check

    The fake news website USA Daily News Posts (usadailynewsposts.com), also known as "American President Donald J. Trump", has made it a habbit to post fake celebrity quotes and then asking their readers if they "support this" or if the celebrity in question should be arrested, deported or what have you.
