| Shania Twain says a dinner with Oprah Winfrey 'all went sour' over the topic of religion: 'No room for debate' | | Sep 29, 2022 | | Shania Twain revealed that a dinner with Oprah Winfrey took an awkward turn over the topic of religion. During an appearance on the Table Manners podcast hosted by Jennie and Lennie Ware, the 57-year-old Canada-born country singer recalled that one of her "most memorable dinners" was with the 68-year-old talk show icon. "She is just such a smart lady and it's just great to sit and have real talks," Twain said, after noting that the two dined at a restaurant. "But as soon as we started talking about religion, it all went sour," she added. SHANIA TWAIN DETAILS HOW LYME DISEASE AFFECTED HER CAREER: ‘I THOUGHT I’D LOST MY VOICE FOREVER' "So I said, let's stop talking about religion," the "You're Still The One" singer continued. Twain went on to say that Winfrey is "quite religious." When Ware, 37, asked Twain about her own religious beliefs, she explained, "I'm not religious in the sense that I'm dedicated to a religion. I'm much more of a spiritual person." She added, "I'm a seeker." Ware said, "But at least you knew to just stop it right there." "Right," Twain agreed. "You know how everyone always says, 'Never talk about politics or religion.'" "It just wasn't debatable," the 5-time Grammy Award winner said. "There was no room for debate. And I like to debate. Canadians like to debate everything. So I'm like, ok, I'm going to change the subject." Winfrey was raised in the Baptist church and has stated that she is a Christian. However, in a 2015 interview with AARP.org, she said though she prays every night, she doesn't consider herself a "traditionalist" since she doesn't attend church every Sunday. CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER Though Ware had introduced the topic by asking about Twain's most memorable dinners in the 1990s, the hitmaker didn't specify exactly when the outing with the media mogul occurred. Twain appeared on Winfrey's former talk show "The Oprah Winfrey Show" many times over the years. In May 2011, the singer sat down with the host for her first interview in more than five years, in which she discussed the painful break-up of her marriage to Robert "Mutt" Lange. She also revealed that she had been diagnosed with Lyme disease and dysphonia, a disorder that affected her vocal cords and resulted in a weakened singing voice. On May 8, 2011, Twain debuted her six-episode docuseries "Why Not? with Shania Twain" on Winfrey's Own Network. Twain appeared on the Table Manners podcast to promote her new single "Waking Up Dreaming," her first new song in five years. She previously announced that she is working on her sixth studio album, which will be her first solo album since 2017's "Now". | | | | | Sen. Marco Rubio: There is a real flash flood threat in many parts of central Florida | | Sep 29, 2022 | | Sen. Marco Rubio discussed the damage inflicted by Hurricane Ian in Florida thus far and how the threat of a flash flood is high on "Hannity." FORMER WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF BLASTS BIDEN OVER TOUTING ECONOMY AHEAD OF MIDTERMS SEN. MARCO RUBIO: Well, I think the reporting that preceded me here on the air kind of describes the images we're going to begin to see tomorrow. We know that the storm surge was very significant, historic, really. And I think we're all going to be shocked by some of the images that are going to emerge. One of the watergate measures up in Fort Myers was still pretty high as of an hour ago and rapidly rising. So there's still some threat there. And even as we're going to be dealing with that, we recognize that the storm is not moving inland. And now we move to a second kind of risk, and that is the flash flood. The National Weather Service has issued its highest alert possible they are expecting upwards in some isolated areas or up to 12 inches of rain, but certainly 4 to 8 inches. So they're now talking about a real flash flood threat in many parts of central Florida as this storm moves in the overnight hours.

Major League Pickleball announced Wednesday that an investment group led by James and Maverick Carter, his business partner, has the rights to a professional pickleball team. Draymond Green, the Golden State Warriors forward, and Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love are also involved in the investment group. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM It appears the idea originated from Carter, who plays the game, a combination of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. "When I started playing pickleball, I immediately connected with the sport’s community and its capacity to be both fun and competitive," Carter told CNBC. "To see the sport growing in communities all over is really exciting, and we’re looking forward to bringing our expertise together to try and build a championship team." LAKERS' LEBRON JAMES: ‘SUPER HUMBLING’ TO BE CLOSE TO BREAKING NBA'S SCORING RECORD Major League Pickleball is growing fast, expanding from 12 to 16 teams next year. Players in the league will also be competing in six tournaments for $2 million in prize money. The final tournament of this year, played from Oct. 14-16 in Columbus, Ohio, will have a $319,000 purse. It’s the largest in pro pickleball history. LEBRON JAMES HAPPY THAT ROBERT SARVER IS SELLING SUNS: ‘PROUD TO BE A PART OF A LEAGUE COMMITTED TO PROGRESS’ "Having SC Holdings, LRMR Ventures and their incredible group as owners and investors in Major League Pickleball is not just great for MLP. It’s a watershed moment for pickleball in general," MLP founder Steven Kuhn said in a statement. "Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the country, building communities in cities and towns all over the world. This investment and the platform that this group provides will significantly help us with our goal to reach 40 million pickleball players by 2030." So, while James, Green and Love look ahead to another NBA season, they’ll also be focused on their new investment. | | | | | Children of pro-life activist arrested in FBI raid at home are 'traumatized,' wife says: 'A lot of crying' | | Sep 29, 2022 | | The wife of the Catholic pro-life activist who was arrested in front of their children by dozens of heavily armed federal agents told Fox News on Wednesday that the "devastating" raid has left their family traumatized and in need of counseling. Mark Houck, an outspoken pro-life activist and author from Pennsylvania, was arrested early last Friday in front of his wife and seven children at his rural Kintnersville home in Bucks County after dozens of FBI agents showed up on his lawn and began pounding on their front door. In an exclusive interview on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" Wednesday, Houck's wife, Ryan-Marie, recounted the moment she looked out her front window to find roughly 25 uniformed agents with guns and shields surrounding her front door. "My entire front yard, you could barely see it, it was covered with at least 15 big trucks and cars," the mother of seven said. "There were 20, 25, 30, men, women, completely in jackets with shields and helmets and guns. They were behind cars. It was something I would never expect to see on my front lawn." FBI ARREST OF PRO-LIFE ACTIVIST ‘STINKS TO HIGH HEAVENS,’ FORMER PROSECUTOR SAYS: ‘LOSER CASE’ Ryan-Marie said the agents raided their home with "guns drawn," on her family, describing in an earlier interview how they put her husband in "shackles" while her children watched in fear. "It was devastating," she told host Tucker Carlson. "As you can imagine, it’s hard to even express the victimization and how traumatized we all are due to this unnecessary thing that happened to us." Ryan-Marie said her children have been "crying" and are afraid to sleep alone since her husband's arrest. "The older ones, we can talk, we can cry. We’ve had some counseling, we have more counseling to do," she told Tucker Carlson. "And the little ones, they’re scared. There’s a lot of crying and a lot of unrestful sleep. A lot of kids in our bed at night and in the morning." The raid and subsequent arrest reportedly stemmed from an altercation Houck, 48, had with a Planned Parenthood escort in Philadelphia in October 2021, when he was accused of pushing a 72-year-old man outside the clinic after the escort allegedly verbally harassed Houck's 12-year-old son. The pro-life father, who routinely engages in prayerful protests outside abortion clinics, is co-founder and president of The King’s Men, a Catholic ministry that aims to spiritually mentor young men. LAWYER FOR PRO-LIFE ACTIVIST ARRESTED BY FBI BLASTS ‘OUTRAGEOUS ABUSE OF POWER’ FROM DOJ: ‘PURE INTIMIDATION’ The Philadelphia Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that officers responded to the Planned Parenthood on the afternoon of October 13 last year, but that no charges were filed against Houck, and he was not arrested. The Philadelphia district attorney also declined to prosecute Houck over the incident. But for reasons unknown, Houck's case caught the attention of the Justice Department. In May, he received a "target letter" from the DOJ telling him he was being investigated by a grand jury for violating the Freedom of Access Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE Act, which makes it a federal crime to use force with the intent to injure, intimidate and interfere with anyone because that person provides reproductive health care. Houck's attorney and senior counsel at the Thomas More Society, Peter Breen, condemned the arrest as an abuse of power from President Biden's Department of Justice (DOJ) during the "Tucker Carlson Tonight" interview, where he accused the department of trying to intimidate pro-life Americans. "This was not a federal crime. We have controlling case law on that, strong defenses, but instead, they’ve taken an innocent man and made an example out of him, presumably to send a message to pro-life people and people of faith across this country," he said. MISSOURI SENATOR SENDS LETTER TO AG GARLAND DEMANDING ANSWERS ON HOUCK PRO-LIFE ARREST After the Philadelphia district attorney declined to prosecute Houck over the incident, Breen said the man involved brought a private criminal complaint against Houck. However, that man never showed up to his own court hearings that he initiated. Houck's lawyer said they have considered taking legal action for abuse of process. "This was reckless and outrageous," Breen told Carlson. "It put the Houck family in unnecessary danger. We've offered to bring him in. Didn’t get a response. Even if you're going to arrest a regular person, you just send a couple of agents, they knock on the door, not dragging the head of the family out, violating the sanctity of the home, pointing guns at them. This was outrageous and uncalled for." Breen said Thomas More Society has retained some of the best legal talent in Philadelphia to assist in the case. "If we can push back against the Justice Department here, we can get them to stop and not do this to someone else," he said. Houck pleaded not guilty to two counts associated with the charges against him related to the alleged assault of the escort. | | | | | Los Angeles woman injured by teen hit-and-run driver blasts DA George Gascon at early release hearing | | Sep 29, 2022 | | LANCASTER, Calif. - A Los Angeles woman who was mowed down along with her 8-month-old baby by a teen in a stolen car during a hit-and-run blasted Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon over the suspect's light punishment on Wednesday during an early release hearing. The woman, who has asked only to be identified as Rachel, said she doesn't believe the teen suspect has been rehabilitated in the five months since he was sent to a juvenile probation camp. "Nobody in the room actually believes that (the suspect) is a good kid," she said via a conference call into a Los Angeles County courtroom in Lancaster, California. "Look at what he did. Nobody changes who they are to the core in four months." Judge Mario Barrera on Wednesday said more evidence was needed before he decides whether to grant the teen's early release request. CALIFORNIA TEEN SUBJECT OF AMBER ALERT KILLED IN SHOOTOUT BETWEEN HER FATHER AND DEPUTIES, AUTHORITIES SAY Prosecutors argued the teen, who is not being named because he is a minor, has been involved in 14 fights and has been written up for allegations of misconduct, disobedience, destructive language and defiance of authority. However, some probation reports also praised his behavior. Barrera continued the proceedings and ordered the court to request incident reports detailing all the infractions involving the suspect during his time in the probation camp. During his testimony, county probation officer Charles Wilson was questioned by prosecutor Shea Sanna over the reports, including one summary that said the teen's "tone and disposition toward authority has improved." Wilson could not give specifics of how the teen had improved his behavior, but said he had begun taking responsibility by admitting he had been fighting and involved in other incidents. Sanna pointed out the teen got into a fight during his second day at the camp, followed by more physical altercations in the weeks thereafter. LOS ANGELES DEPUTY DA: GEORGE GASCON ‘TRIED TO HUMILIATE US’ FOR SUPPORTING RECALL EFFORT The incident that got him sentenced to five-to-seven months in the camp occurred last year. Surveillance video captured the moment the teen driver veered into Rachel, on Aug. 6, 2021 during a hit-and-run in the Venice neighborhood. The child was not seriously harmed, but photos showed a tire-tread-shaped bruise on the back of his scalp. The teen driver to flee the scene before a good Samaritan in a pickup truck rammed him off the road. Rachel previously told Fox News Digital that she suffered severe cuts on her arms, hands and shoulder and slipped three discs in her back as a result of the hit, which sent her rolling over the hood of the car. The teen didn’t have a driver’s license at the time of the crime and was already on probation for a prior offense, felony poisoning after allegedly spiking a high school girl's drink. The incident has left Rachel scared of her neighborhood and prompted her family to sell their home and leave Los Angeles, she said Wednesday. "I hate where I live because it’s a constant reminder every time I leave my house of what happened to us," she said. We have sold our home and will be leaving LA at the end of November, so I would like to ask that he remain in camp at least until then. I will fear for my life every day that I am in LA if I know he is at home." LOS ANGELES WRONG-WAY HIT-AND-RUN DRIVER WHO PLOWED INTO MOM AND BABY IN STOLEN CAR WANTS EARLY RELEASE Despite his prior offenses, the office of Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon sought the five- to seven-month sentence in juvenile probation camp. The move was in line with Gascon's progressive criminal justice policies that treat underage suspects with less severity. At the time, he described it as less severe than military school but harsher than summer camp. Fox News Digital has reached out to Gascon's office.

Ron DeSantis told Fox News. DeSantis said Wednesday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" the hurricane clocked in just shy of a Category 5 storm, but that Ian's breadth dwarfed some of the Cat-5's in that area, leading to similar levels of destruction. The storm struck the Sunshine State in almost the exact same spot as Hurricane Charley did in 2004. Charley had been the strongest storm to strike the southwest Florida until Ian – weaker than only 1992's Hurricane Andrew, which ravaged Homestead and Miami on the Atlantic side. DeSantis said Ian has caused record storm surge in Collier, Lee and Charlotte Counties. It continues to churn through the state, largely following the US-92 corridor toward a forecasted exit near Daytona Beach. MARCO RUBIO OFFERS UPDATE ON HURRICANE IAN'S IMPACT The governor added power and light workers from other states have been streaming in to help the local authorities restore electricity and telecommunications once the wind gusts drop into a safe range. "The state has marshaled hundreds of aircraft. We have high water vehicles. We have the capacity to go by air, by land or by sea to help people. And we will do that. And that's going to need to take place," he told host Tucker Carlson. "But then you're going to have a major effort to restore power. We have 100 cell towers that we can help stand up to help do communications. We have over 42,000 linemen and other personnel associated with restoring power. If you're driving anywhere in Florida, I-10, I-95, you see these trucks coming into the state and it's been ongoing. So that's going to be the biggest probably logistical effort in the history of the state." WALKER CALLS OUT WARNOCK FOR ‘PRO-CHOICE PASTOR’ STANCE DeSantis cited the "massive standing water" in places like Naples, the county seat of Collier, which he categorized as the "biggest flood event" in that part of the state. He also warned that, citing figures from Hurricane Irma, the death toll from such storms is proportionally higher in the aftermath than during the actual event, often due to humans being around downed power lines or misusing generators. BIG TECH HAWK SPEARHEADS ANTITRUST PACKAGED AIMED AT REINING IN ‘GOLIATH’ FIRMS' PROWESS Seven people were killed during Irma, he recounted, adding that more than 10 times that number died following it. The governor concluded by noting that he has been in touch with President Biden for federal support, adding that if leaders cannot put politics aside when civilians are "fighting for their lives, when their whole livelihood is at stake; when they've lost everything… then you're just not going to be able to." CLICK TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP While Pensacola and the western Florida panhandle has escaped largely unscathed from the storm, much of the rest of Florida remains under various watches and warnings – with Ian's path forecasted to make a second, Atlantic landfall along the Georgia or Carolina coast – and eventually leading to potentially heavy rains as far north as Appalachia. Governors far to its north like Glenn Youngkin in Virginia, have already enacted states of emergency. | | | | | | | Ashton Kutcher reveals he was 'drunk' the first time he told Mila Kunis he loved her | | Sep 29, 2022 | | Ashton Kutcher opened up about the moment he told his wife Mila Kunis he loves her, revealing he was very drunk when he did so. Peloton released a clip of an upcoming episode of Kutcher’s new marathon training series in partnership with the company called "Our Future Selves," in which he admitted to the episode’s guest, country singer Kenny Chesney, that he played a big role in the milestone moment between him and his wife. He told Chesney the night he told Kunis he loves her for the first time, he had been listening to Chesney’s song, "You and Tequila." He also admitted he "might have had a little too much tequila." "I showed up drunk at her house, at like two in the morning, and I just started screaming, 'You and tequila make me crazy,'" Kutcher said. "And I told her I love her, and she's like, 'Don't say it if you don't mean it. Are you gonna love me in the morning when you wake up from this hangover?'" MILA KUNIS OPENS UP ABOUT HOW SHE AND ASHTON KUTCHER DEALT WITH HIS HEALTH SCARE: 'JUST POWER THROUGH' Kutcher recalled waking up the next morning feeling the same way about Kunis as he did the night before and confirming his feelings to her. Chesney seemed to be honored to have played such a big role in that moment, saying he never knew he and Grace Potter, his duet partner on that song, could have played such an important role in Kutcher’s life. "Well, I had no idea that me and Grace Potter were such a part of a really intimate detail for you and your wife," Chesney said. "You and Grace Potter brought it home," Kutcher responded. "These are fundamental moments in my life" Kunis and Kutcher met back in 1998 when they were both cast in "That ‘70s Show" as love interests to one another’s characters. Their relationship, however, did not start until nearly 15 years later. When filming began on the show, Kunis was only 15 years old, while Kutcher was already in his 20s. While the show was still filming, Kutcher met and began dating actress Demi Moore in 2003 and eventually marrying her in 2005. At the same time, Kunis got together with actor Macaulay Culkin in 2002. Both their relationships lasted for quite a few years, but began to fall apart around the same time. Culkin and Kunis decided to end their relationship in 2011 after close to a decade together. Moore and Kutcher announced their separation in 2011.

The couple got married in 2015 and have two children together, a daughter named Wyatt and a son named Dimitri. The couple had not worked together since meeting on "That ‘70s Show" until this year when they made their on-camera reunion on "That ‘90s Show," the reboot of their iconic show. "It is very good," Kunis told Entertainment Tonight. "It's great in fact, and I think that anyone that's ever watched '70s, that was a fan, I think will be very, very, very, very, happy with the inciting incident of the whole series." | | | | | Sarasota Mayor Erik Arroyo on Hurricane Ian: 'We're going to rebuild together' | | Sep 29, 2022 | | Sarasota, Florida, Mayor Erik Arroyo discusses what he is doing to keep his county safe as Hurricane Ian hits the state Wednesday on "Jesse Watters Primetime." MAYOR ERIK ARROYO: We had about 3,800 in shelters. We’re being hit with the worst part right now, actually just coming in, and I have already seen when I had internet, I was able to see the pictures that were being sent to me of trees falling down and flooding, and you definitely saw some storm surges. So, I honestly don’t know what the situation is right now, but we're just hoping for the best, hoping we get through this. Our main priority is our residents. So we are just going to wait this out and hunker down, and we’re going to rebuild together. HURRICANE IAN EVACUATION: WHAT TO PACK … I stopped by one of the shelters. The individuals are largely vulnerable individuals that had to be evacuated because of some they lived in a zone A, which is what we evacuated first. Homes on the waterfront or on the barrier islands or those living on mobile homes or RVs or those individuals who got evacuated because of living in an assisted living facility that was in one of these zones. Or it was just, you know, people that had nowhere else to go. They couldn’t just go to a friend’s house, or they couldn’t leave the state. So, it was — it’s a mix of people, but they are definitely safer in these sites, these shelters than they would be staying at home. I’m glad they are there.
