Eddie Cibrian Addresses “Untrue” Piper Perabo Affair Allegation
Shutting it down.
Eddie Cibrian is denying Brandi Glanville‘s claims that he cheated on her with actress Piper Perabo during their marriage.
“I’m sad I have to address this, I really believed that we had come a long way, but this was untrue 19 years ago and it’s untrue now,” he told E! News in a statement on Dec 20. “Just because someone thinks something might be true does not make it true.”
The actor added, “This is all so unnecessary. Fun times at the Christmas table await.”
Brandi—who shares sons Mason, 19, and Jake, 15 with Eddie—previously told Page Six she believed her then-husband had an affair with the Coyote Ugly actress while they were shooting the 2005 action-horror film, The Cave.
“They did a movie together and Mason was 1-year-old and I went to the set and it was in another country, Romania, I think,” she recalled during the Dec. 20 interview. “And [Piper] was a horrible c—t to me.”

GOP senator knocks Biden for ‘spreading things that are untrue’ in voting rights speech
Republican Sen. Bill CassidyBill CassidySunday shows preview: Democrats’ struggle for voting rights bill comes to a head Hillicon Valley — Tech giants hit with Jan. 6 panel subpoenas Bipartisan lawmakers propose ‘TLDR Act’ to simplify terms of service agreements MORE (La.) knocked President Biden
Asked during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” about Biden’s voting rights speech in Georgia, Cassidy said Biden made claims that were “misleading” and not helpful in the president’s quest to bring Americans together.
“Now if you’re trying to call the United States of America to unity, trying to get us to where we will come to common ground, you don’t end up spreading things that are untrue, are frankly lies, and that’s why people think we need to filibuster, otherwise you’re just totally rolled by somebody who’s willing to sacrifice truth to pursue their agenda,” Cassidy told co-anchor Jake Tapper
The Louisiana Republican also criticized House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.), who appeared on the program earlier and, when asked, did not say Biden’s remarks in Georgia went too far. Cassidy also accused Clyburn of making wrong or misleading statements in regard to election legislation.
Biden sparked criticism with his passionate remarks in which he called for changing the Senate filibuster to pass voting rights reform on the national level.

Samsung BioLogics says report on Biogen deal talks untrue
Dec 29 (Reuters) – Samsung BioLogics (207940.KS) on Thursday denied a media report that said the South Korean firm was in talks to buy U.S. drugmaker Biogen Inc (BIIB.O).
Korea Economic Daily reported on Wednesday, citing investment banking sources, that Biogen had approached Samsung to buy its shares, which could be valued at more than $42 billion. Biogen is valued at $34.67 billion, according to Refinitiv data.
Samsung BioLogics, the biotech unit of Samsung Group, said in a regulatory filing that the report was “not true,” without giving any more details.

Biogen said it does not comment on market rumors or speculation. Its stock closed up 9.5% on Wednesday.
Any such deal would be the biggest overseas acquisition ever by a South Korean company. The largest so far was in 2016, when Samsung Electronics bought auto electronics maker Harman International Industries in an $8 billion deal. (https://reut.rs/3qrRv32)
Samsung Group had said earlier this year it will invest 240 trillion won ($206 billion) in the next three years to expand its footprint in biopharmaceuticals, artificial intelligence, semiconductors and robotics in the post-pandemic era. read more
In June, Biogen’s controversial Alzheimer’s drug won U.S. regulatory approval, becoming the first new treatment for the memory-robbing disease in nearly 20 years, despite an outside advisory panel’s view that the company had not proven the treatment’s clinical benefits.
Biogen has been betting on the drug, Aduhelm, to buffer a hit as its main revenue drivers such as multiple sclerosis treatment Tecfidera and muscle disease treatment Spinraza face rising competition.
But U.S. sales from Aduhelm have been slower than expected as hospitals complained that the drug’s high cost was not worth its benefits. The company cut its price by about half to $28,200 this month.
Biogen, which makes drugs for neurological diseases, currently has more than 30 new drugs in its pipeline.

Tucker Carlson Makes Totally Untrue Statement About Vaccines, Citing ‘Science’
Fox News host Tucker Carlson continued to mislead his viewers about COVID-19 on Wednesday, telling them that vaccinated and unvaccinated people spread coronavirus in the same way.
“The vaccinated spread COVID just like the unvaccinated. There’s no difference actually,” he said during a rant about Seattle public employees who quit or were fired from their jobs for failing to meet the Oct. 18 deadline to be fully vaccinated. “Look at the science.”
Science shows that vaccinated people are much less likely to transmit coronavirus than unvaccinated people. Vaccinated people are significantly less likely to get COVID-19. And multiple studies have shown that vaccinated people who do become infected tend to transmit much less virus than the unvaccinated and are likely to be contagious for a shorter period of time.
Carlson has persistently cast doubt on the lifesaving vaccines and dedicates considerable airtime to attacking workplace vaccine mandates intended to protect people from coronavirus.
Earlier this week, following the death of former Secretary of State Colin Powell from COVID-19 complications, Carlson suggested Americans are “being lied to” about the vaccines. Powell was fully vaccinated, but Carlson failed to mention until much later that Powell had other serious health issues that led to his death.

Republican congresswomen revoke endorsements of Texas GOP candidate after ‘hurtful and untrue’ comments about Chinese immigrants
“As the first Korean American Republican women to serve in Congress, we want to empower and lift up fellow members of the (Asian American and Pacific Islander) community who want to serve their communities,” California Reps. Young Kim and Michelle Steel said in a statement. “We talked with Sery Kim yesterday about her hurtful and untrue comments about Chinese immigrants, and made clear that her comments were unacceptable.”
During a candidate forum on Wednesday hosted by two Republican groups in Texas’ 6th Congressional District, Kim responded to a question about the US’ immigration crisis by saying “I don’t want them here at all,” referring to potential Chinese immigrants.
“They steal our intellectual property, they give us coronavirus, they don’t hold themselves accountable,” she continued, adding that, “I can say that because I’m Korean.”
The congresswomen said in their statement Friday that they “urged her to apologize and clarify her remarks, especially as hate against the AAPI community is on the rise.”
“However, she has not publicly shown remorse, and her words were contrary to what we stand for,” they added. “We cannot in good conscience continue to support her candidacy. We will continue to speak out in support of our AAPI community.”
When reached for comment on the revoked endorsements, Sery Kim said in a statement Friday that “I am shocked that in an effort to counter Asian-American hate the liberal media is targeting me, an Asian and an immigrant, in an effort to paint me as anti-Asian and anti-immigrant just for speaking against the oppressive Chinese Communist Party.”
Kim, who served as assistant administrator for the Small Business Administration under former President Donald Trump, is running for the seat previously held by former Rep. Ron Wright until his death in February following a Covid-19 diagnosis.
After endorsing her in March, Reps. Steel and Kim condemned the Texas Republican’s comments on Thursday, calling them “unacceptable and hurtful” and emphasizing that “discrimination and violence against Asians and Asian Americans has to stop.”
Sery Kim told CNN in an interview on Thursday that her remarks the previous day “were directed at the Communist Party of China, and were not directed at Asian Americans, especially Chinese immigrants fleeing this oppressive regime.”
She added that she didn’t take back any of her comments, and she stood by her remarks made at the event, which included a claim in an interview with the Dallas Morning News that anti-Asian violence has not worsened over the last year.
“The biggest difference right now is people are filming it — and the media choosing to report it,” she told the newspaper. “Asians have always faced violence. It’s not worse than before.”
Sery Kim confirmed she made those comments in an interview with CNN on Thursday. The Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University, San Bernardino reported in a study last month that anti-Asian hate crimes surged 145% from 2019 to 2020.
