A 20-year-old Florida man shot point-blank in the chest while visiting a friends apartment says he lived to tell the tale thanks to his faith and a gold cross pendant.The necklace shattered when struck by the bullet, and medics believe it may have even split the projectile, sparing his organs from what could have been a fatal shot."I feel like [my faith] definitely grew stronger," Aidan Perry said Tuesday, reflecting on the miracle on "Fox & Friends First."MAN SAVED AFTER STRAY BULLET HITS HIS CHRISTIAN CROSS: 'GOD IS DEFINITELY REAL'"Thats what I wore the cross for to represent my faith in Christ."Perry was visiting a friend's apartment to watch a UFC fight when the incident happened. The deflected bullet entered through his chest and exited near his armpit before reentering his arm and breaking his humerus.Dr. Dana Taylor, a surgeon at Florida's HCA Florida Ocala Hospital where Perry was treated, told Fox News that, without the pendant, the bullet would have likely entered Perry's chest and dealt a "devastating injury" to his heart, resulting in a "different outcome.""This is a very unique situation and, in trauma, we know that each trauma case can be very unique," she said.PASTOR SOUNDS ALARM ON 'GODLESS GENERATION' AFTER FIGHTING BACK AGAINST TEEN CARJACKER"When I looked down at his chest and was evaluating him, and I saw the cross and the way that bullet scored it, and it deflected [the bullet] across his chest and into his arm, I knew then that, yes, that cross did definitely change the course of his life."The gold cross that spared Perry's life which he wore as a daily reminder of his faith since last Christmas is now broken, and he remains undecided whether to repair it or replace it.But he is certain of one thing: "I do believe in miracles," he said.The man who allegedly shot Perry unintentionally was arrested in Sumter County.He was charged with culpable negligence causing injury, according to Village-News.Fox News' Ashley J.

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., railed against "radical Far Left Democrat agitators" who disrupted an event in her home district in upstate New York on Monday.Stefanik, a Trump ally who has for months been teasing a Republican campaign for governor of New York, was booed offstage by protesters during an event in Plattsburgh honoring the late John Zurlo, a Clinton County political leader."Today #NY21 witnessed shameful conduct by radical Far Left Democrat agitators who disgracefully attempted to drown out and silence a non-political event in Plattsburgh to honor the lifelong service of John Zurlo in Clinton County as the building was named in his honor," Stefanik said on X on Monday morning.When Stefanik approached the podium to deliver remarks, protesters booed the congresswoman, shouting, "Traitor!" until she stepped back into line alongside the other officials. Later on, Stefanik returned to the podium and delivered her remarks over the protesters' cries.HOCHUL FAILS TO CRACK 50% BUT TOPS POTENTIAL GOP CHALLENGES BY DOUBLE DIGITS IN NY GOVERNOR RACE: POLLSpeaking to reporters after the event, Stefanik explained why she returned to the podium."I thought that the radicals would calm down out of respect for the Zurlo family," she said. "Obviously, they did not do that, but I was not going to let them drown out me by talking about how important it is to commemorate John Zurlo's legacy."MAJOR REPUBLICAN RUMORED FOR GUBERNATORIAL RUN, HITS BACK AGAINST DEM: WORST GOVERNOR IN AMERICADespite the protesters carrying on, Stefanik said it was important "to make sure the Zurlo family heard from me." The likely gubernatorial candidate later clarified in her statement on X that she also privately delivered her remarks to the family.House members have been campaigning and hosting events in their home districts during the August congressional recess.While Republicans are celebrating the tax cuts and immigration reform included in President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill," Democrats have criticized vulnerable House Republicans for cutting Medicaid.Republicans have argued that the megabill only cuts waste, fraud and abuse in Medicaid, but according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), about 10 million more people will be uninsured by 2034 due to Trump's megabill.The impact of Trump's signature policy bill is likely to take center stage in the competitive midterm elections expected in 2026.The protesters' messages were mixed on Monday, as those who booed Stefanik offstage held signs rejecting Trump's sweeping second-term agenda on multiple grounds, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportations, as well as Stefanik voting in favor of the megabill.Other protest signs mentioned racism and called Stefanik a "bully."Stefanik has yet to formally launch her campaign for governor against incumbent Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, but she has been laying the groundwork for months and leading criticism of the governor's anti-Trump politics.Fox News' Tyler Olson contributed to this report.

Catherine Tramell will be at it again.Joe Eszterhas, 80, who wrote the 1992 erotic thriller "Basic Instinct," is now writing a reboot to the iconic, controversial movie that is expected to be "anti-woke," after signing a deal with Amazon MGM, according to The Wrap."It means that dialogue-wise she will be open about her sexuality, character-wise she will be raunchy at times, funny, iconoclastic and all of those things," Eszterhas told the outlet.Asked about the reboot, Eszterhas told Fox News Digital that he thinks political correctness in film has "stripped" away the way people really talk.SHARON STONE CONFIRMS UNEXPECTED CELEBRITY DATING RUMOR WITH GRAMMY WINNER"I think that the language has been, for political reasons, the truth has been gutted in some ways," he explained. "And yes, I hope that this Basic' renewal will be as successful, language-wise, as the first one was."Eszterhas said that he gets standing ovations and people cheer during revival showings of "Basic Instinct" after certain iconic lines, like Michael Douglas character wanting to "f--- like minks, raise rugrats and live happily ever after" and him referring to Tramell as the "f--- of the century."He said some people in the industry are "beginning to speak out about" political correctness in the industry, "and I hope that goes into the filmmaking as well. DEI, it may be a noble concept, but it doesn't work in drama and in film."Eszterhas is also hopeful that Sharon Stone will return to the role that made her a star."Catherine Tramell will be an important character. She will not be the dominant character, but she will have a terrific role. And I have great hope that she can turn it into the same iconic performance and I think that's what it was that she did in the original," he told Fox News Digital.He added, "She was a terrific actress, and she wanted to get the part. Thankfully, she did. And that's one of the reasons the movie was such a hit."Eszterhas hasnt talked to Stone about the reboot, and the 67-year-old actress doesnt sound like shes interested."If it goes the way the one I was in went, I would just say, I dont know why you do it. I mean, go ahead, but good f------ luck," Stone told the "Today" show this week of the reboot.The "Total Recall" star reprised her role as Tramell in 2006 for "Basic Instinct 2," which was a box office flop and widely panned.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSDespite the fact that "Basic Instinct" was her breakout film, Stone told "The Daily Mail" that the films success brought her fame but not respect, and that she lost roles because casting directors couldnt see past Catherine Tramell."They said I was just like the character, like, somehow, they found someone who was just like that, and she slipped into the clothes, and it was magically recorded on film," she said, adding, "Then, as it played everywhere on the globe for the next 20 years, people started to go, 'Do you think this really has anything to do with the fact that we thought we saw up her skirt?' I think maybe it's actually a pretty good performance."She continued, "So it went from me being nominated for a Golden Globe and people laughing when they called my name in the room to people giving me standing ovations and making me the woman of the year. People came to recognize: she's not going away, the film's not going away, the impact of the film is not going away.'"But she said she couldnt book any more parts because of the film."And then I got nothing. I never got any more parts. Why? I really wish you could tell me," she said. "Sometimes I think it was because I was too good."She did do "The Quick and the Dead" in 1995 and "Casino" in the same year, for which she was nominated for an Oscar. She said Francis Ford Coppola came up to her before the Academy Awards and told her she wasnt going to win.SHARON STONE HAS NEW TAKE ON INFAMOUS BASIC INSTINCT SCENE THAT MADE HER LEGENDARY"He said, 'I need to tell you something... you're not going to win the Oscar'. I went, 'Why?' And he went, 'I didn't win it for The Godfather and Marty [Martin Scorsese] didn't win it for Raging Bull and you're not going to win it for Casino."She said he added, "You will lose with Marty and you will lose with me, but you will always be in our losers' circle' So that is what I have carried through my life that I am a big fat loser like Marty and Francis Ford Coppola."The actress believes "Basic Instinct" even made her lose temporary custody of her son when she and her ex Phil Bronstein divorced in 2000. "They had my 8-year-old on the stand at one point, asking him if they knew his mother did sex movies," claiming she was perceived as nothing but a "soft pornography" actor."I think very beautiful, smart people are perceived in very specific ways," she added. "Because I'm a woman who is beautiful, it's easier to have me not be emotionally intelligent."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSEszterhas agrees that critics have reversed the way they think about "Basic Instinct" since it came out 33 years ago, with some calling it a "post-feminist classic.""And that it gave women the right to be whatever they wanted to be, not just on a commercial business level, but also on a sexual one," he told Fox News Digital. "You know, the days when I grew up in the 60s, a woman who was sexually active would immediately be tagged as a slut, a hooker, a nymphomaniac, if you remember that preposterous word, and a guy who did the same thing was a stud and cool and all of that. Well, that, of course, is insanity and women have the same rights that men do."After writing "Basic Instinct,"Eszterhas said he left Californias beaches for Cleveland, Ohio."I'm very happy to be living in Cleveland and not in Malibu. Naomi [Baka] and I raised four boys in Cleveland," he said."Maybe more people should come and live in Cleveland, and some of that rub off," he added, going back to political correctness."You have to understand, I grew up here as an immigrant kid. And there have been some nice things said about my life in Time magazine, I think, or People, one of them very flatteringly said once, you know, If Shakespeare, were alive today, would his name be Joe Eszterhas?' Well, that was bulls---. But the guy who ran a bar next to where I grew up on the West Side was once asked about me, and he said, Well, Joey is just a s----a-- refugee kid from the West Side, trying to make his way in the f------ world.' Perfect."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPHe also joked that if anyone has an issue with an 80-year-old writing a sexual thriller, he tells them, "Well, I have a co-writer. And my co-writer is a twisted little man. And that twisted little man listens to the characters. And then he was born 29, he will die 29, and he promises that this will make everyone a truly orgasmic ride."When asked how he would top the famous interrogation scene from the first film, Eszterhas told Fox News Digital: "Youll have to see the movie. Go back and see it five or six times, and then we'll have a discussion."

Bindi Irwin recently shared an emotional post on Instagram about her recovery after 13 years of suffering with endometriosis.In the post, the wildlife conservationist, 27, listed all the things a doctor surgically removed to provide relief."Fifty-one endometriosis lesions, a chocolate cyst and my appendix were all removed," she revealed.BINDI IRWIN'S PAINFUL MEDICAL JOURNEY ENDS WITH LIFE-CHANGING SURGERIESWhile not a widely known term, a "chocolate cyst" is a symptom of a more severe version of endometriosis, a condition in which tissues similar to those that line the uterus grow outside the organ, according to Cleveland Clinic.In addition to causing painful periods and pelvic discomfort, endometriosis can also impact fertility.When the tissue attaches to an ovary, its called an endometrioma, Cleveland Clinic states.The tissue turns into cysts filled with dark, reddish-brown fluid resembling melted chocolate hence the name "chocolate cyst."These growths can attach to other organs and cause pain and discomfort. They can also be an indicator of a more severe form of endometriosis, according to official health databases.Experts estimate that about 10% of people who menstruate have endometriosis, and about 17% to 44% develop ovarian endometriomas.Endometriomas can range in size from very small to very large, and can form on one or both ovaries, Cleveland Clinic states.The most common signs of the condition are painful period cramps, pain during intercourse or while urinating, more frequent urination, back pain, nausea, vomiting and bloating.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERThere is not a known cause of endometriomas, although one theory points to a backwards menstrual flow, called retrograde menstruation, according to Cleveland Clinic.In this case, instead of exiting the body, uterine tissue travels back through the body into the ovaries, where it thickens and bleeds each menstrual cycle, causing the formation of fluid-filled cysts.Physical exams, as well as imaging procedures like MRIs and ultrasounds, can help diagnose the issue. In some cases, the cysts are so large that doctors can detect them during a pelvic exam.Doctors can perform a minor surgery called a laparoscopy, in which a sample of the cyst is removed and tested to confirm the diagnosis.While there is no cure for ovarian endometriomas, management includes monitoring growths, surgically removing larger ones, and taking medications to regulate hormones that may impact symptoms, according to experts.Not all cysts need to be removed. In cases of smaller cysts, health professionals may monitor them and reevaluate if symptoms become more painful.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/health"The best treatment for you depends on lots of factors, like your age, your symptoms and your plans for becoming pregnant," Cleveland Clinic states. "Weigh the pros and cons of your options with your provider to decide the best plan for you."Chocolate cysts can come back even after treatment. Per the above source, about one in four people will see an endometrioma return.
