Kimberly Williams-Paisley says Brad Paisley 'stalked' her after watching her in 'Father of the Bride'
Brad Paisley’s love story with Kimberly Williams-Paisley started with a bold move.
During a candid conversation on "Live with Kelly and Mark," Williams-Paisley revealed that her now-husband first noticed her while watching the 1991 romantic comedy "Father of the Bride" — while on a date with another woman.
When host Kelly Ripa asked how the couple originally met, the actress replied, "He stalked me."
Williams-Paisley continued with a laugh, "So, it could have been like, you know, marriage or jail, and I was like, 'marriage seems easier.'"

The country star had gone to see "Father of the Bride" with his then-girlfriend — only to walk away captivated not by his date, but by the actress playing Annie Banks.
"He went and saw 'Father of the Bride' with his girlfriend," Williams-Paisley said. "And then she kind of broke his heart and he went and wrote all these great songs from his heartbreak. And then one day he was like, ‘You know, maybe I should call that girl that was in "Father of the Bride,"’ because ‘Father of the Bride’ had been the movie with this girlfriend."
Williams-Paisley added, "But that's also how confident he is. He's like, watching a movie, and he's like, 'not this girl, that girl on the screen.' And he did it."

The couple ultimately tied the knot on March 15, 2003, and recently celebrated their 23rd wedding anniversary — a milestone that Williams-Paisley marked with both humor and sentiment.

She revealed that she asked Paisley to "do something meaningful" to commemorate the occasion by writing her a letter. The pair later kept things low-key, heading to a "dark bar" to watch the 2026 Academy Awards together.
On social media, the actress shared a series of photos alongside a heartfelt message reflecting on their relationship.
"23 years today (we think, but math isn't our strong suit). Find yourself someone you can laugh with, do some good with, and hang on tight with. Then repeat. Happy anniversary Brad Paisley for the twenty-somethingth time. I love you."
The couple share two sons, Huck and Jasper.
The nine words you need to say to change your relationships for good
There is almost always a moment in a strained relationship that sounds like some version of this:
"You are making this a bigger deal than it is." "You’re overreacting." "Why are you making this a thing? Can’t you get over it?"
And underneath those words is something far deeper than the disagreement itself. It’s the quiet dismissal and rupture that communicates, "What matters to you isn’t important to me."
WELCOME TO THE DATING RECESSION: WHY YOUNG AMERICANS ARE GIVING UP ON LOVE
If you have experienced this, you know how painful and frustrating it can be to be misunderstood or minimized in a relationship.
And if you have said these phrases to someone — as most of us have — you might argue that you didn’t mean it the way it sounded. You were just trying to fix the situation and move past what created the disconnect. But when you do this, you miss something important and foundational:
If it matters to you, it matters to me.
It’s a sentence that sounds simple but isn’t. In fact, it’s one of the most challenging relational standards we can uphold, and one of the most transformational.
But this statement requires us to do something most of us were never taught to do, which is to prioritize what others experience over what we intended.
Stephen Covey, author of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," popularized what many psychologists have long identified, which is a pattern where we judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their actions. It causes us to say things like:
"I didn’t mean it like that." "I was just trying to help." "You should know that’s not what I was saying."
While all of those may be true, what’s also true is that they don’t resolve the experience of the other person.
THOMAS RHETT ADMITS FAME LED HIM TO 'LIVING A DOUBLE LIFE' THAT NEARLY DESTROYED HIS MARRIAGE
When you consider research by renowned psychiatrist Dan Siegel, a professor at UCLA School of Medicine, and others in interpersonal neurobiology and attachment, there is a recurring pattern whereby relationships are shaped not by what we meant, but by what others experienced. As our brain scans for things like safety, connection, and attunement, it doesn’t consider intention; rather, it asks if those things are present or missing.
This means that many of our relationships are not defined by whether we meant well, but instead, by how well it landed.
Here’s the reality: If adopting the "If it matters to you, it matters to me" approach was easy, we’d all be doing it, and all of our relationships would be thriving. But that isn’t always the case. Not because we don’t want relationships that flourish, but because adopting this posture challenges our sense of control.
To adopt this mindset means to set aside your intentions and experiences and instead enter someone else’s inner world. It also means that you don’t choose if something matters to someone and instead recognize that it does. This is a profound gift, and one that some have never received for themselves. And that’s uncomfortable territory for many of us.
However, as author and strategist Robert Greene has noted in his writing, a great deal of power in human dynamics stems from understanding rather than manipulating or controlling the perceptions of others. In a relationship, when understanding is the priority, the person who can hear and respond to the other party’s feelings and emotional reality then holds a much deeper kind of influence that is built upon trust.
As a therapist, I have had a front-row seat to relationships that are in chaos, tumult, or ending. And in those moments, what forced the end of the relationship was not the whiplash from a singular event, but instead the weight of many interactions that slowly fractured the relationship and eroded connection.
Over time, narratives and stories emerge that sound like:
"I guess I don’t matter to you." "I don’t think that you understand or see me." "I’m not being heard."
The cost of these sentiments adds up. Eventually, people who don’t feel like they have a voice or matter in a relationship tend to protect and guard themselves instead of leaning in and getting vulnerable. And over time, those seemingly small ruptures add up to a chasm too large for the relationship to cross.
Living out this practice doesn’t mean that you must agree with everything or that you should abandon yourself. Instead, it’s quite the opposite. It means starting with connection in mind rather than correction. This looks like acknowledging and offering compassion and grace before moving into your opinion or questioning someone else’s.
It looks like slowing down enough — and being present enough — to meet someone where they are before you tell them to meet you.

It looks like knowing your partner’s communication type as well as your own. Once you understand how to communicate better, it’s easier to be honest about what matters to you.
Everyone longs to be seen, heard, and understood, but we all take a different path. Often, we fail to realize that disconnection isn’t always personal; it’s patterned.
We lose each other along the way, not because we don’t care, but because we don’t see how differently we’re wired.
I was inspired to write "Discovering Your Communication Type" because I saw over and over again with my clients that communication is not one-size-fits-all.
We are all on a different path. But the good news is that there is a way forward with greater connection.
When you say, "If it matters to you, it matters to me," you aren’t just improving a relationship, you are laying the foundation to better communication and deeper connection.
Kagan screamed so loudly at liberal ally after Dobbs leak the ‘wall was shaking,' book claims
FIRST ON FOX: Justice Elena Kagan’s frustrations boiled over in the aftermath of the Dobbs opinion leak in 2022, leading her to allegedly scream "so loudly" at Justice Stephen Breyer that the "wall was shaking," observers said, according to a new book.
Conservative author and Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway’s forthcoming book "Alito," reviewed by Fox News Digital and set for release Tuesday, details the incident and other heated moments surrounding the leak, which spurred waves of protests and death threats against the five conservative justices expected to overturn Roe that year.
The Supreme Court's deep division on abortion was clear at the time, but the book reveals that a typically unified liberal bloc was also fractured.
Hemingway wrote that Kagan, an Obama appointee, angrily confronted Breyer, a Clinton appointee, in May 2022 behind closed doors after at least one justice, Samuel Alito, had asked his liberal colleagues to speed up writing their dissent because of security threats. Breyer was most likely to agree to Alito's request, Hemingway wrote.
BIDEN DOJ WEAPONIZED FACE ACT AGAINST PRO-LIFE AMERICANS, 882-PAGE REPORT ALLEGES
"Though he had not said he would accommodate the justices whose lives were at risk by getting out a dissent, [Breyer] was the member of the liberal bloc most willing to do so," Hemingway wrote. "Fiercely liberal in his jurisprudence and in strong disagreement with the majority decision, he nevertheless was a gentleman and a friend to all on the Court. Kagan remonstrated with Breyer not to accommodate the majority, screaming so loudly, observers noted, that the ‘wall was shaking.’"
Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for Breyer as well as the Supreme Court's press office for comment on the book.
The security threats at the time were severe, as protesters who supported access to abortion frequently showed up at conservative justices' homes. Shortly after the leak, Attorney General Merrick Garland ordered the U.S. Marshals Service to provide full-time security for all the justices, but he drew criticism because authorities did not arrest protesters despite a law that prohibits "picketing or parading" near a federal judge's home to influence a court decision.
In June 2022, before the Supreme Court issued its decision, a suspect armed with a pistol, knife and burglary tools was arrested near Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home. Nicholas Roske, who now goes by Sophie, later pleaded guilty to attempting to murder a Supreme Court justice and received a controversial sentence of eight years in prison, which the Department of Justice is appealing.
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH'S ATTEMPTED ASSASSIN SENTENCED TO EIGHT YEARS IN PRISON
"As the protests continued, the Alitos were moved to a secure location," Hemingway wrote. "Justice Barrett had to put on a bulletproof vest in front of her children, most of whom still lived at home."
Kagan's contentious interaction with Breyer, who was set to retire in June 2022, came after a May 12 conference meeting, according to the book. Only the nine justices attend conference meetings, which are held periodically. Hemingway, who wrote the book based on interviews with the justices and dozens of others, said at this point the majority opinion had been ready for months and only the dissents were outstanding.
Hemingway did not name the justices she interviewed because they spoke on background, but she told Fox News Digital she spoke with most of them.
"Alito asked the dissenters to make the completion of their dissents their priority because delay of the decision was a security threat," Hemingway wrote. "Abortion supporters had an incentive to kill one or more of the justices in the majority to change the outcome. The dissenters demurred. [Justice Neil] Gorsuch spoke up, asking for a date by which they might be done. They would not give a date."
The landmark opinion, overturning Roe 5-4 and upholding a Mississippi law 6-3 that banned most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, was released June 24, 2022. An investigative report by the New York Times detailed an internal effort spearheaded by Chief Justice John Roberts, the lone conservative to object to dismantling Roe, and Breyer to flip one conservative in the months leading up to the decision. Breyer had been eyeing Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the outlet reported.
PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT CONFRONTS HIGH ABORTION RATES THREE YEARS AFTER DOBBS
Hemingway's book sheds new light on those internal deliberations, which came against the backdrop of heightened polarization over the decades-long fight over Roe.
"Everyone knew that the leak posed a serious security risk for justices. Since decisions do not take effect until issued officially from the bench, the death of a justice before then could alter the result. The threat of assassination increased dramatically."
The Supreme Court's draft opinion, authored by Alito, was published May 2 in Politico, representing a stunning breach of the high court's rules. The leaker's identity remains unknown to this day.
"In the ensuing weeks, hundreds of pregnancy centers, churches, and pro-life organizations would be vandalized, some even set ablaze," Hemingway wrote of the fallout.
UFO documentary director says US is at a 'turning point' for extraterrestrial exploration
Dan Farah thinks the world is at a "turning point in human history" as it pertains to extraterrestrial life.
"The truth is finally coming out that humanity is not the only intelligent life in the universe," the director and producer of "The Age of Disclosure" told "Special Report" anchor Bret Baier.
Farah’s 2024 documentary featured 34 different US officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. The film focuses on an alleged government cover-up of non-human life and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs).
In February, President Donald Trump posted that he would order various government agencies to "begin the process of identifying and releasing Government files related to alien and extraterrestrial life."
The pledge came after former President Barack Obama went viral for saying that aliens are "real, but I haven’t seen them" on a podcast.
JD VANCE SAYS HE WAS 'OBSESSED' WITH UFOS, BELIEVES ALIENS ARE ACTUALLY 'DEMONS'
Obama later amended his remarks, clarifying that "the universe is so vast that the odds are good there’s life out there," but he had never received evidence of contact with extraterrestrials during his presidency.
Farah contends his documentary has led to Trump’s attention on the issue and the national conversation about extraterrestrial life.
"I think that we’re entering this age in which the U.S. government will start to reveal all it has learned over the last 80 years about this," he said.
Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., urged President Trump to release all government files related to UFOs and aliens.
"Peel back the layers of that onion, let America decide if we can handle it. I think we can handle it," Burchett told "The Big Weekend Show" earlier this month.
GOVERNMENT WITHHOLDING INFORMATION ON UFOS FROM THE PUBLIC, GOP REP SAYS
The information he’s been briefed on, Burchett said, is "pretty wild."
Many senior members of the military, intelligence community and government have been "extremely definitive" in saying that the evidence that we are not alone in the universe exists, Farah said.
He also cited the alleged identification of UAP, detected over the years around the world. The discoveries from this technology, a clip from the documentary shows, could have an impact on clean energy and be a breakthrough for interstellar travel and teleportation.
"These UAP are displaying flight performance characteristics that we don’t have the ability to do currently," Farah said. "The technology being displayed could completely revolutionize the way we live."
"This is the biggest issue of our time."
Intermittent fasting’s real benefit may come after you start eating again
Research continues to uncover new details on how fasting may help extend life.
A new study published in the journal Nature Communications investigated how intermittent fasting can boost longevity in small worms often used in aging research.
Researchers from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas compared worms that were fed normally to those that underwent a 24-hour fast in early adulthood and were then re-fed for 24 hours, according to a press release.
POPULAR INTERMITTENT FASTING DIETS MAY NOT DELIVER THE HEALTH BENEFITS MANY EXPECT
The scientists measured a variety of factors, including stored fat, gene activity related to fat metabolism, and lifespan.
The results showed that the life-boosting benefit did not depend on the fasting itself, but on the body’s behavior after eating again.
Study lead Peter Douglas, PhD, associate professor of molecular biology and a member of the Hamon Center for Regenerative Science and Medicine at UT Southwestern, suggested that these discoveries "shift the focus toward a neglected side of the metabolic coin – the re-feeding phase."
"Our data suggest that the health-promoting effects of intermittent fasting are not merely a product of the fast itself, but are dependent on how the metabolic machinery recalibrates during the subsequent transition back to a fed state," he said.
PEOPLE LOST WEIGHT WHILE EATING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE FOOD — HERE'S THE SECRET
"Our findings bridge a gap between lipid metabolism and aging research," he added. "By targeting aging, the single greatest risk factor for human disease, we move beyond treating isolated conditions toward a preventive model of medicine that enhances quality of life for all individuals."
Lauri Wright, director of nutrition programs at the University of South Florida's College of Public Health, called this a "high-quality" study that adds an "important nuance to how we think about fasting and longevity."
The benefits of the re-feeding phase after fasting were "especially interesting," Wright, who was not involved in the study, told Fox News Digital.
"The researchers showed that longevity was linked to the body’s ability to turn off fat breakdown after fasting, allowing cells to restore energy balance," she reiterated.
"From a scientific standpoint, that’s a meaningful shift, because it suggests fasting is not just about burning fat, but about metabolic flexibility."

Fasting may support longevity through triggering metabolic switching, enhancing cellular repair and stress resistance, and improving markers like insulin sensitivity, research shows.
Although this study provides "important insight" on the power of re-feeding, Wright noted that the findings should be approached with caution, as the study was done in worms and cannot always be translated to humans.
"Additionally, it explains how a process might work in a controlled lab condition rather than real-world eating behaviors," she added as a limitation. "Finally, the study is short-term and doesn't give us the long-term translation on lifespan outcomes."
Wright cautioned that fasting is "not a magic solution for longevity, and how you eat overall matters more than when you eat."
"I advise, first and foremost, to focus on diet quality, including a variety of fruits and vegetables, healthy fats and minimally processed foods," she said.

For those who are considering fasting, it’s better to stick with a moderate plan — like a 12- to 14-hour overnight fast — rather than going to extremes, Wright said. After fasting, she recommends focusing on well-balanced meals.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
Several groups of people should be cautioned against fasting, according to Wright, including those with diabetes who are on insulin or hypoglycemic medications, people who are pregnant or breastfeeding, anyone with a history of eating disorders, and older adults at risk of malnutrition.
Anyone considering intermittent fasting should consult with a doctor before starting.
New York talk show host changes MLB allegiance from 'Mamdani Mets' to Yankees: 'Pretty easy choice'
A longtime New York talk show host has made a major change.
WABC Radio's Sid Rosenberg announced on social media this week that he has converted his fandom from the New York Mets to the New York Yankees.
"So the Yankees hosted the great [president] and did a beautiful tribute for the late, great [Charlie Kirk]. The Mets allow their announcers to s--- on the late great Charlie, dealt away players who support Trump and celebrate a shortstop who’s [sic] wife works with the terrorist sympathizer. Seems like a pretty easy choice to me! Let’s Go Yankees (sorry Dad)," Rosenberg posted to X on Tuesday.

Francisco Lindor's wife, Katia, was named Mamdani’s list of inaugural committee members, and the Mets parted ways with Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil, and Brandon Nimmo. The Yankees honored Kirk the day he was assassinated with a moment of silence, and Trump attended a game the next day, which was 24 years since 9/11.
Right before that, Rosenberg reposted a mock Mets lineup that included Bernie Sanders in left field, Bill de Blasio at first, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at DH, and Katia, the "2025 Marxist Cy Young Winner," on the mound. The post had a graphic of a mock Mets logo that was redesigned to read "Mamdani Mets."
Rosenberg posted a photo of Yankees jerseys he hinted were gifted to him by team president Randy Levine. He then posted videos of Bucky Dent, Tino Martinez, Johnny Damon, Jim Leyritz, and Jeff Nelson congratulating him on the transition.
"I’ll be 59 on Sunday:) For the first time ever I’m sporting a Yankee jersey as I make my way to the Bronx. The official transition from a life long Met fan to a Yankee fan is now underway," Rosenberg said along with a photo of himself in a Yankees jersey. "Like my friend [Charles Gasparino] once wrote "Go Woke, Go Broke!" The Mamdani Mets are too WOKE for me! See ya at the Stadium soon fans!"
YANKEES FANS BRAWL IN STANDS AS TEAM GETS BEAT DOWN BY ANGELS AMID FRUSTRATING SKID
Rosenberg then posted a photo of himself and Levine from a suite in the Bronx, then compared himself to former Mets general manager Omar Minaya, who now works in the Yankees front office.
Rosenberg then had a message for the critics.
"You can turn on your President. You can turn on your city. You can turn on your country. You can turn on religion. You can turn on your family. But you can NEVER turn on your sports teams! Now do you realize how STUPID so many of you sound?" Rosenberg wrote. "The Mets STOPPED being fun for me and it had little to do with the final score. I think I’ve made my case. LIFE isn’t one big 'Field of Dreams' movie idiots. Not anymore!"
Rosenberg also said that his choice got "better by the second" after learning the Mets will not host a Jewish Heritage Night - the only one this decade was in 2023.
The Mets have not won a game since Mamdani hugged both Mr. and Mrs. Met on April 9.

DAVID MARCUS: Desperate Dems tap Obama to pitch Virginia gerrymandering lies
As the Commonwealth of Virginia and the nation are waking up to the dastardly effort by Democrats to disenfranchise GOP voters with a ridiculous new district map giving them 10 House representatives to just one for Republicans, former President Barack Obama has been tapped to help them lie their way across the finish line.
With voters set to hit the polls on Tuesday, it is Obama coming in from the bullpen to be the closer.
The former president seems to be in more TV ads these days than he was when he was back in his political prime. In his soft, dulcet tones, he tells Virginians that giving Democrats 90% of the Old Dominion's Congressional seats, when over 45% of Virginians are Republicans is to create "fairness."
One can almost see George Orwell giving a sarcastic golf clap.
5 VIRGINIA CONGRESSMEN: DEMOCRATS ARE REJECTING VOTERS TO GERRYMANDER OUR STATE
He also assures everyone that the measure is temporary, Democrats are only going to disenfranchise working class voters in the south of the state once, and then go back to normal in 2030, you know, unless there is another emergency …
It is telling in many ways that Barack "If You Like Your Doctor, You Can Keep Your Doctor" Obama is the man who the Democrats think is their greatest weapo. One must admit that when it comes to lying and deceit, he does have a way with words.
The lying started before Obama even took office, when he claimed as a candidate that his deep Christian beliefs compelled him to oppose gay marriage, a canard which his top aide David Axelrod would not only eventually admit was a lie, but one that they laughed about.
REPUBLICANS TARGET SPANBERGER AS ‘GOVERNOR BAIT AND SWITCH’ IN BID TO DEFEAT DEMS REDISTRICTING PUSH
And make no mistake, they were laughing at the voters.
Throughout his presidency the lies increased. Obamacare did not let you keep your doctor, the Benghazi attack was not started by a YouTube video, he did really set a red line in Syria on chemical weapons that he failed to defend.
Now, we are also learning from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard that Obama played a key role in his administration’s effort to investigate and, let's just be honest, smear Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential race.
PRIMARY PAUSE, POLITICAL FIRESTORM: HIGH-STAKES ELECTIONS THIS MONTH TAKE CENTER STAGE
As if all of this was not enough, bringing it all closer to Virginia is Obama’s lying about Trump’s 2017 Charlottesville, speech in which he said there were very fine people on both sides of the Confederate statue debate, and it was contorted to absurdly suggest he supported White supremacists.
One way to know that Obama and the Democrats are lying about redistricting, aside from the fact that their lips are moving, is that they refuse to either show the new map in their advertising, or to mention they are giving themselves a 10-1 advantage instead of the current 6-5 split.
Had Virginia Democrats embraced a more modest plan that gave them an 8-3 advantage, they might have been able to show the map and actually describe what they are doing. But the overreached, and now they can’t.
VIRGINIA DEMS ACCUSED OF ILLEGALLY ‘STEAMROLLING’ STATE LAW THAT COULD UPEND REDISTRICTING CRUSADE
So, why do Democrats think it is Obama who can effectively disguise their disgusting power grab as a much-needed act of fairness? Because that has always been his job, to mask radical and dangerous policies as common-sense moderate positions.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Democrats were desperate for the "next JFK," and they eventually kind of found one in Bill Clinton. Today, the party is still searching for its next Obama, but having yet to find one, Barry still must play the part.
One would think that every Democrat with an eye towards the White House, of which there are approximately 8,000, would be stumping in Virginia. After all, they want to be perceived as fighters. So where are they?
OBAMA ENDORSES VIRGINIA REDISTRICTING CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT THAT COULD HELP DEMS GAIN 4 SEATS
Where are Gavin Newson, Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris?
It turns out that Virginia Democrats, led by their radical in moderate clothing Gov. Abigail Spanberger, created a map so unfair, so toxic, that nobody wants to be tied to it except Obama, who will never run for office again.
In the final days of this redistricting election, Democrats are not dipping into their bench, but rather into their hall of fame. It is old timers day every day with Obama suiting up and taking the field.
Does Obama still have his political magic? The juice to move the needle and get this bloody disenfranchisement of poor, White voters over the top?
Democrats believe he does, and if they win on Tuesday, expect to see a lot more of Obama between now and the 2028 presidential election.
2 US Army soldiers in Alaska injured in bear attack during training exercise
Two U.S. Army soldiers were injured after being attacked by a brown bear during a training exercise in Alaska, a report said.
The troops from the 11th Airborne Division were hurt Thursday while participating in a "land navigation training event" at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson's Arctic Valley training area in Anchorage, Lt. Col. Jo Nederhoed, a spokesperson for the division, told the Anchorage Daily News.
"The safety and well-being of our personnel is our highest priority," Nederhoed added. "The incident is under investigation, and we are coordinating with local wildlife authorities to ensure the safety of all personnel in the area."
The soldiers, whose identities were being withheld pending notification of their next of kin, were "receiving appropriate medical care" as of Friday morning, Nederhoed also said.
TEACHERS CALLED 'TRUE HEROES' AFTER REPELLING GRIZZLY BEAR THAT ATTTACKED SCHOOL GROUP, INJURING 11
Fox News Digital has reached out to the 11th Airborne Division for further comment.
Wildlife officials from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game told the Anchorage Daily News that the incident appeared to have been a defensive attack after the bear recently emerged from its den, and that both soldiers were carrying bear spray and used it.
AIR FORCE ACADEMY'S 'CULEX' PUTS THOUSANDS OF CADETS THROUGH REALISTIC 24-HOUR COMBAT SIMULATION
"We hope both individuals have a full and quick recovery, and our thoughts are with them during this time," Fish and Game Regional Supervisor Cyndi Wardlow told the newspaper.
"In this case, having bear spray with them in the field may have saved their lives," she said.
The 11th Airborne Division is nicknamed the "Arctic Angels."
"The 11th Airborne Division executes expeditionary operations worldwide, conducts Multi-Domain Operations in the Indo-Pacific theater and the Arctic, and on order decisively defeats any adversary in extreme cold weather, mountainous and high-latitude environments through large scale combat operations," it says on its website.
'The Naked Gun' actor Paul Walter Hauser bloodies opponent at Maple Leaf Pro's first US show
Paul Walter Hauser is an actor who has been in "The Naked Gun," "Blackbird," and "Richard Jewell." But on Friday night at Maple Leaf Pro’s first U.S. event, MLP Multiverse, there was no acting going on.
Hauser squared off against QT Marshall in a sin city street fight at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. It was the final show of Slam Fest. The two pro wrestlers pulled out all the stops and left the ring in complete disarray.

It was a rematch of their brawl at Ring of Honor’s Death Before Dishonor event. Marshall went on the attack first, throwing in all kinds of foreign objects into the ring, including a piece of wood wrapped with barbed wire, a table, a cane, chairs and even a door was brought into the match.
Hauser was able to regain momentum in the match. He set up the barbed-wire object in the corner. Marshall countered and was trying to whip Hauser into the barbed wire. However, Hauser stopped himself. As Marshall tried to take Hauser by surprise, the movie star avoided Marshall and tossed him into the barbed wire.
Marshall was busted open, but wasn’t done. Hauser was trying to inflict more pain. He set up a table near one corner of the ring and poured thumbtacks on top of it. Marshall was able to powerbomb Hauser through the tacked table.
BLUE PANTHER AND ÚLTIMO GUERRERO STEAL THE SHOW AT CMLL'S FIRST-EVER US EVENT IN LAS VEGAS
Hauser was left with thumbtacks in his back and one in his head. He managed to power through and put Marshall into a sharpshooter. Marshall tapped out. Hauser picked up the victory.
Hauser got his start in pro wrestling in 2023 at Pro Wrestling Revolver. He worked his way through appearances at All Elite Wrestling before he signed with Major League Wrestling in 2024.
He’s currently Progress Wrestling’s Progress proteus champion.
Elsewhere, Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) world heavyweight champion Hechicero defended his championship against Jonathan Gresham, Maple Leaf Pro Canadian women’s champion Gisele Shaw fended off Shotzi Blackheart, Persephone and surprise entrant Killer Kelly to keep the title.

Orange Crush festival returns to Tybee Island as police brace for 50,000 partiers after teen takeover, gunfire
Tybee Island, Georgia, plans to welcome back the controversial "Orange Crush" music festival this weekend, as police brace for thousands of revelers to flood the beach town.
"THE BIGGEST HBCU BEACH BASH IS BACK! Official Dates April 17TH -19TH Tybee Island," a post on the Orange Crush Instagram page reads. "Concerts + Greeks + Parties + Car & Bike Show + Live Celebrities. Over 50k people expected."
Known as "Crush Reloaded" this year, the main event is scheduled for Saturday with a musical festival at the Tybee Island beach pier and pavilion.
In 2025, Georgia police made 22 arrests over the weekend as Tybee Island welcomed partiers to Orange Crush, a controversial college spring break bash that has previously brought violence and piles of trash to the quiet vacation town. There were 54 arrests during Orange Crush in 2024 and 26 in 2023.
POPULAR GEORGIA BEACH TOWN OVERRUN BY ‘ORANGE CRUSH’ FIGHTING, CHAOS, VIDEO SHOWS
The Tybee Island Police Department said in a statement that for this year's festival they are heightening enforcement amid an uptick of teen takeovers plaguing the region.
"Rest assured that we have heard you and that public safety will always be our top priority," Tybee Island Police Department Capt. Emory Randolph said in a statement to Fox News Digital when asked about residents' concerns over the upcoming weekend's festivities.
POLICE FLOOD ORANGE CRUSH ISLAND HOT SPOT, WARN OF TEEN TAKEOVERS AS BEACH BASH MADNESS RETURNS
"In recent months, stories of so-called 'teen takeovers' have popped up across the country," Tybee Island police said in a Facebook post Tuesday. "This phenomenon hit home just over a week ago, when an unpermitted event on the beach was interrupted by the sound of gunfire. Now, as we approach the return of Crush Reloaded, members of our local and online communities have expressed concerns."
Beginning on Thursday, the police department said, residents and guests would see an "abundance of law enforcement officers from various state and local agencies converging on the island."
To maintain order, police are also launching a road safety checkpoint on Highway 80, carving out emergency lanes on main roads and shuttering the 14th and 16th Street parking lots.
"TIPD is committed to using every available resource to help ensure the safety of our community," Capt. Randolph said. "Residents and guests can do their part by being kind to one another, obeying the law, and following the instructions of all emergency personnel. Working together, we can continue to make the island an even safer place to live, work, and play."
WATCH: Teen takeover in Georgia caught on camera
The move came as nationwide teen takeover events are spreading. Last week, a mass of teens participating in a takeover on Tybee Island was interrupted in panic after police say gunfire broke out along the pier.
According to the Tybee Island Police Department, authorities responded around 6:30 p.m. on April 4, when hundreds of people gathered near the Tybee Island Pier and Pavilion area, a popular spot in the laid-back beach community.

During the course of the "unpermitted, pop-up event," officers said they heard a single gunshot ring out, and the crowd began to scatter.
Video shared by the department captured hoards of teens running away.
In the early 1990s, Orange Crush had a reputation for being a wild, crime-filled weekend, and Savannah State University disassociated with the event in 1991 because of the high number of arrests and reports of violence.
Three years ago, the event moved to Jacksonville, Florida, "due to lack of resources, limited parking, civil rights violations and political injustices," according to a June 2021 story on Jacksonville.com, which cited the event's website. The website has since been taken down.
The event returned to Tybee Island in 2023 for the first time since 2020.
