Hilaria Baldwin has been in the spotlight for over a decade, starting as a rising Boston native who rose to fame as a yoga instructor and television personality. Now, Alec Baldwin's wife has landed her latest gig on "Dancing with the Stars."She joins a list of other stars, including Danielle Fishel, Dylan Efron, influencer Alix Earle and "Mormon Wives" stars Whitney Leavitt and Jen Affleck. Hilaria is partnered with Gleb Savchenko for season 34.Speaking to USA Today ahead of the show's premiere, Hilaria addressed her critics: "Everybody these days has their critics, whether they're in the spotlight or not. I've learned in my 40s that if you go through life trying to prove things to people, then you're missing the point and you're missing being present."Over the years, Hilaria has faced controversy, including her Spanish heritage scandal. Her husband, Alec, was charged with involuntary manslaughter the case was later dismissed after his involvement in the fatal 2021 shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins."You collect the good and the bad in life along the way," she told the outlet. "We're all looking forward."ALEC BALDWIN CRIES OVER DEADLY 'RUST' SHOOTING IN REALITY SHOW TRAILERPrior to the announcement, Hilaria shared dancing videos with Alec online, sparking speculation among her fans that she would join the reality competition dancing show."Ive been enjoying all this manifesting. I see in my comments theres, like, a lot of people manifesting. Its been a lot of fun manifesting. Lets continue to manifest," Hilaria told Extra last month.Hilaria has been a ballroom dancer since she was a child, per USA Today. "I didn't know if I belonged in this space," she told the outlet. "For years I've been saying: 'I've got a lot of experience. Is that a problem?' Apparently it's not." According to Hilaria, Alec had urged her to reach out to the show for years.Hilaria began dating Alec in 2011. In an interview with The New York Times in 2012, she revealed that the actor didn't ask for her phone number when he saw her at a New York City restaurant. Instead, he gave her his card and told her to call him."I was standing near the door with my friends when he walked up and took my hand and said, I must know you," she told the outlet. Hilaria called Alec, but got his voicemail. A few days later, the pair went on a date and shortly after, they tied the knot in June 2012.After the pair married and following a hip injury from dancing years earlier Hilaria "closed the door on that part of my life," she told USA Today. "I started focusing on yoga, met Alec, and we started having kids. My body is different now."In 2016, the yoga enthusiast debuted her book "The Living Clearly Method," which focuses on Hilaria's "five simple principles" to get through any situation. Hilaria's background in yoga and wellness led to her appearances on TV shows and more.However, with the increased spotlight on her, controversy eventually followed.In 2020, Hilaria was in the middle of a firestorm after a Twitter thread went viral, and she was accused of faking her Spanish heritage once it was revealed that she was a Boston native.At the time, Hilaria revealed that she and her husband were raising their children with a mix of American and Spanish heritage, and they were raising them to be bilingual. Hilaria was born and raised in Boston, but spent parts of her childhood in Spain. Her parents currently reside in Mallorca.However, Hilaria has seemingly claimed she was born in Mallorca, Spain, and raised in Boston. She explained on a podcast in April 2020, "I moved here [to America] when I was 19 to go to NYU from my family lives in Spain, they live in Mallorca."Hilaria was also criticized for allegedly faking her Spanish accent, as critics pointed out that it noticeablyfluctuatedover the years when shemade appearanceson TV.In one damning clip from the "Today" show in 2015, Hilaria was a guest on the show for the "People en Espanol festival in New York City," according to the video's description. Hilaria, a yoga instructor and fitness expert at the time, was joined by Telemundo host Evi Siskos to cook her "simple gazpacho."In the clip, Hilaria appears to confuse her English and Spanish. "We have very few ingredients we have tomatoes, we have, um, how do you say in English?" she asked Siskis. "Cucumber!"During her 2020 podcast appearance, Hilaria said she was simply nervous being on live TV and had a "brain fart."That same year, she did an interview with The New York Times and clarified information that was floating around online."The things I have shared about myself are very clear," Baldwin said. "I was born in Boston. I spent time in Boston and in Spain. My family now lives in Spain. I moved to New York when I was 19 years old and I have lived here ever since. For me, I feel like I have spent 10 years sharing that story over and over again. And now it seems like its not enough."Although she denied ever lying about being born in the United States, Hilaria issued an apology on Instagram in 2021.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"I've spent the last month listening, reflecting, and asking myself how I can learn and grow.""My parents raised my brother and me with two cultures, American and Spanish, and I feel a true sense of belonging to both. The way Ive spoken about myself and my deep connection to two cultures could have been better explained I should have been more clear and Im sorry. Im proud of the way I was raised, and were raising our children to share the same love and respect for both," she captioned her post.Shortly following the scandal, Hilaria and Alec teamed up for their podcast, "What's One More?" which focused on family and philanthropy.The podcast took a pause after Alec's involvement in the tragic "Rust" shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The involuntary manslaughter charges against him were dropped by a judge in July 2024.This year, the TLC reality show, "The Baldwins" was released on Feb. 23. The eight-episode season highlighted the Baldwins and their seven children. In the first episode, the family relocates to the Hamptons for the summer as Alec prepares for the criminal trial in New Mexico.Hilaria also brought up her Spanish accent scandal in the premiere episode."I love English, I also love Spanish, and when I mix the two it doesn't make me inauthentic, and when I mix the two, that makes me normal," she said in a confessional, as quoted by People magazine.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"I'd be lying if I said [the controversy] didn't make me sad, and it didn't hurt, and it didn't put me in dark places," Hilaria admitted."But it was my family, my friends, my community who speak multiple languages, who have belonged in multiple places and realize that we are a mix of all these different things and thats going to have an impact on how we sound and an impact on how we articulate things and the words that we choose and our mannerisms.""That's normal," she added. "Thats called being human."

The Navy, working with Skydweller Aero, just reached a major milestone in clean-energy aviation. Its solar-powered drone, known as Skydweller, flew for 73 hours straight without needing fuel. The test happened at Stennis, Mississippi, under the leadership of the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD).This breakthrough shows how renewable energy can power long-endurance missions while cutting costs and reducing reliance on fuel.AMERICA'S SKIES ARE WIDE OPEN TO NATIONAL SECURITY THREATS, DRONE EXPERT WARNS: 'WE HAVE NO AWARENESS'Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, youll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide free when you join myCYBERGUY.COM newsletter.The three-day nonstop flight proved that solar-powered drones can store enough energy during daylight to keep flying through the night. Engineers confirmed that Skydweller not only stayed airborne but also handled real-time autonomous decisions, adapted to turbulent weather and maintained secure communications.AI DRONE FINDS MISSING HIKER'S REMAINS IN MOUNTAINS AFTER 10 MONTHSOfficials say the drone's wingspan matches that of a Boeing 747, yet it weighs about as much as a Ford F-150. With solar panels covering its massive wings, Skydweller powers four electric propeller engines during the day while storing extra energy in batteries for night flights.NAWCAD leaders say Skydweller will fit into the Navy's intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) network. Unlike expensive satellites or large drones such as the Global Hawk, Skydweller offers commanders a cheaper option for persistent monitoring. It can hover over an area in what experts call a "pseudo-satellite role," freeing up more advanced systems for priority missions.For U.S. Southern Command, Skydweller could help track drug trafficking, border security threats and other maritime challenges. Longer tests are already planned for this summer in the SOUTHCOM region, which covers Latin America and the Caribbean and oversees U.S. military operations in that area.While Skydweller has already logged nearly 220 flight hours, engineers believe it could stay airborne far longer. Weather and range limits kept this recent test at 73 hours, but in theory, the aircraft could remain aloft for weeks.The Department of Defense sees platforms like Skydweller as vital for future conflicts where fuel resupply may not be possible. Renewable-powered drones could solve logistics headaches, especially in contested environments, which essentially means operating in places where enemies can block supply lines and make traditional refueling too risky.The Navy's solar drone test is proof that renewable energy can support technologies once thought impossible. If solar power can keep an aircraft in the air for days, similar advances may eventually reach consumer tech, disaster relief and even commercial aviation.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to testify on Capitol Hill on Thursday, a week after turmoil engulfed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).Lawmakers on the Senate Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over the HHS, will hear from Kennedy on President Donald Trumps health care agenda, dubbed by the secretary as the Make America Healthy Again movement.While the committee does not directly oversee the CDC, the recent firing of former CDC director Susan Monarez, the wave of high-level officials departing and other moves at the agency taken under Kennedys tenure are expected to dominate the line of questioning from both Republicans and Democratic lawmakers on the panel.SENATORS DEMAND OVERSIGHT, REJECT VACCINE GUIDANCE AS ILLEGITIMATE AS CDC TURMOIL RAGESSenate Majority Leader John Thune, who is a member of the panel, told reporters that Kennedy would face "hard questions" from committee members, particularly over frustrations over Monarez, who was confirmed by the Senate less than a month before her ouster."He's gotta take responsibility we confirm these people," the South Dakota Republican said. "We go through a lot of work to get them confirmed. And theyre in office a month?"Speculation has swirled over the reason behind Monarezs firing given her differing stance on vaccines compared to Kennedy, who spent much of his presidential campaign and tenure as secretary going after the efficacy and safety of vaccination, particularly those for COVID-19.Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who chairs the Senate health committee and was the deciding vote that propelled Kennedy to a role in the Trump administration, is also set to question the secretary.Last week, he demanded that the federal governments vaccine advisory panel, which was filled with Kennedys handpicked replacements after he recently booted the original panel members, postpone its scheduled meeting in September until "significant oversight" was carried out by his committee, and charged that any recommendations made by the advisory panel should be rejected until then.RFK JR. DETAILS HOW HE PLANS ON RESTORING PUBLIC TRUST IN THE CDC IN NEW OP-EDCassidy told Fox News Digital that he was working on just what the oversight measures would look like, and expected to announce his plans soon. In the meantime, he noted that he was supportive of Kennedy and Trumps commitment to "radical transparency," but noted that his main concerns were about childrens health. "It isn't about R versus D. It isn't about, you know, internecine fights within the Republican Party. It is about children and grandchildren, and will they die or be at risk of dying from vaccine-preventable disease," Cassidy said. "Now we've got to get to the truth of this."He also argued that members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices are supposed to receive materials to review before making vaccine recommendations and decisions, but questioned where the information would be coming from in the wake of several senior members of the CDC making their exit after Monarezs firing."We've got to have some sort of radical transparency into what scientific justification is being used for that," he said. "Is it a political appointee? Well, to say a political appointee is making scientific recommendations. Who's a political appointee? I mean, are they a doctor, a PhD, or are they a political appointee? Our concern is they might just be political appointees, but we're going to find that out."PREVIOUS CDC DIRECTORS ACCUSE RFK JR. OF ENDANGERING ALL AMERICANS IN NY TIMES ESSAYSen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., another member of the Senate Finance Committee, told Fox News Digital that his line of questioning would focus on the abortion drug Mifepristone and its safety, but added that it was "fair" for lawmakers to have debate over Kennedys leadership of the CDC and HHS."It's typical for any secretary that comes up, but I'm sure many of these issues that have been raised are related to some concerns. These questions are going to be asked, and Im grateful that the Secretary will be there to explain what he sees going on and the path forward," he said.Meanwhile, Kennedy defended his moves at the CDC in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece on Tuesday, and contended that "President Trump has asked me to restore that trust and return the CDC to its core mission."He wrote that steps have already been taken to "eliminate conflicts of interest and bureaucratic complacency" at the agency, and that leaders who "resisted reform" had already been replaced."Most CDC rank-and-file staff are honest public servants," Kennedy said. "Under this renewed mission, they can do their jobs as scientists without bowing to politics. The agency will again become the world authority on infectious-disease policy.""First, the CDC must restore public trust and that restoration has begun," he continued. "It wont stop until Americas public-health institutions again serve the people with transparency, honesty and integrity."Fox News Digital reached out to the HHS for comment but did not hear back immediately.

A man walking his dog over Labor Day weekend discovered what may be wreckage from the deadly January midair plane collision in Washington, D.C.Andrew Guevara told FOX 5 DC he and his four-legged friend were walking on the Mount Vernon Trail in Alexandria this weekend when he spotted several items floating around in the water."I noticed that there was something. It just looked a little bit odd, but there's a lot of trash that's always along the river," he told the local TV station."But there just seemed to be something noticeable about it. I guess is the best way to say it. There happened to be like a, a lever that would it looked like for the tray table, like you would see on a plane. And there happened to be like a leather pouch at the bottom and just the curvature of the top of it. It very much looked like an airplane seat," he said.ARMY HELICOPTER THAT CRASHED WITH COMMERCIAL PLANE IN DC WAS FLYING ABOVE ALTITUDE LIMIT: NTSBAlexandria police were originally called to the scene, according to FOX 5, but the National Transportation Safety Board is "taking possession of the item and will evaluate it and store it until it can be transferred to the remainder of the wreckage from the DCA midair accident," a spokesperson said in an email to Fox News Digital.AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER SHOULD HAVE WARNED PLANE OF ARMY HELICOPTER'S PATH AHEAD OF FATAL DC CRASH: FAABack in July, a Federal Aviation Administration official said an air traffic controller failed to notify the crew of a commercial plane that an Army helicopter was moving toward the aircraft before the collision in Washington, D.C., on January 29 that killed 67 people.Fox News Digital's Landon Mion contributed to this report.

The high-stakes political fistfight between Republicans and Democrats over congressional redistricting ahead of next year's midterm elections shifted to a new battleground this week.A special session of Missouri's legislature to redraw the solidly red state's congressional districts and give the GOP control of one additional House seat kicked off on Wednesday with public hearings scheduled for Thursday."Missouris conservative, common-sense values should be truly represented at all levels of government, and the Missouri First Map delivers just that," Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe argued, as he announced the special session and unveiled a proposed map.MAJOR REPUBLICAN REDISTRICTING VICTORY IN THIS KEY STATEKehoe's move came hours after GOP Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas on Friday signed into law a redistricting bill passed by the Republican super majority in the state legislature that aims to create up to five right-leaning congressional districts at the expense of currently Democrat-controlled seats in the reliably red state.The Republican push in Texas, which came at the urging of President Donald Trump, is part of a broad effort by the GOP across the country to pad their razor-thin House majority to keep control of the chamber in the 2026 midterms, when the party in power traditionally faces political headwinds and loses seats.WATCH: CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS AIM TO COUNTER TEXAS REDISTRICTINGTrump, in a social media post, argued that Missouri voters will have "the tremendous opportunity to elect an additional MAGA Republican in the 2026 Midterm Elections."Trump and his political team are aiming to prevent what happened during his first term in the White House when Democrats stormed back to grab the House majority in the 2018 midterm elections.Democrats are fighting back against the rare, but not unheard-of mid-decade redistricting.State lawmakers in heavily blue California last week approved a special ballot proposition this November to obtain voter approval to temporarily sidetrack the state's nonpartisan redistricting commission and return the power to draw the congressional maps to the Democrat-dominated legislature.TRUMP NOT ON BALLOT BUT FRONT-AND-CENTER IN 2025 ELECTIONSThe effort in California, which aims to create five more Democratic-leaning congressional districts and counter the shift in Texas, is being spearheaded by two-term Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is seen as a likely 2028 Democratic presidential contender.In Missouri, the new map proposed by Kehoe targets longtime Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver's Kansas City area district by shifting it eastward to include rural right-leaning voters.If passed by the GOP-controlled legislature, the new map would likely flip Cleaver's seat and give Republicans a 7-1 advantage in the state's U.S. House delegation.The Missouri legislature's special session will also tackle another top Republican priority a proposed constitutional amendment making it more difficult to approve citizen-driven ballot initiatives. Abortion-rights and marijuana legalization amendments, opposed by many Republican leaders in the state, have passed in recent years.Missouri state House Minority Leader Ashley Aune on Monday charged that Kehoe and Republican state lawmakers are pushing to "rig our maps and eliminate our representation in Congress."Former Rep. Russ Carnahan, the chair of the Missouri Democrats, warned there are political consequences for Republicans pushing to redistrict."They're choosing to bow down to Washington demands to do some things that I think are going to stir the ire of Missouri voters, and they're about to see what pissed off Missouri voters look like," Carnahan told Fox News Digital.But Democrats in the Missouri state house have limited options to stop the legislature from passing the new map. Unlike in Texas, where Democratic state representatives fled the state for two weeks to delay passage of redistricting, a similar move by Missouri Democrats wouldn't prevent a quorum needed to conduct business.And any filibuster by Democrats in Missouri's state Senate would likely be quickly shut down by the majority Republicans.Cleaver, whose seat is threatened, has vowed to take legal action if the new map is signed into law by the governor.With Democrats currently needing just a three-seat pick-up in next year's midterms to win back the House majority, Missouri and Texas are far from the only states where Trump and his political allies are urging Republicans to re-write the maps to create more right-leaning congressional districts.Top Republican state lawmakers in Indiana, which, similar to Missouri, is a former battleground state that's now red, visited the White House last week to discuss redistricting.Republicans in GOP-controlled South Carolina and Florida are also mulling redistricting ahead of the 2026 elections. And right-leaning Ohio is under a court order to draw new maps ahead of the midterms.Democrats, as they push back, are looking to New York, Illinois and Maryland in the hopes of creating more left-leaning congressional seats.But they have less attractive options than Republicans.They control fewer states than the GOP and face constitutional limitations or nonpartisan redistricting commissions, which is the case in New York.In Illinois and Maryland, where Govs. J.B. Pritzker and Wes Moore are discussing redistricting, Democrats hope to pick up to three more left-leaning seats.And they could pick up a seat in right-leaning Utah, where a judge recently ordered the GOP-controlled legislature to draw new maps after ruling that lawmakers four years ago ignored an independent commission approved by voters to prevent partisan gerrymandering.Fox News Digital reached out to Kehoe's office to request an interview but did not immediately hear back.

Tracee Ellis Ross is the latest of a long list of celebrities who have been victimized by an at-home burglary attempt.In the early hours of Sunday morning, thieves shattered a rear glass door at the "black-ish" star's Los Angeles home, the Los Angeles Police Department told NBC4 Investigates.Ross was out of town at the time, the department told the outlet.

"And being in my youth, it was probably harder to swallow."Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Orlando Bloom and Audrina Patridge were other targets of the group, which stole a total of $3 million from various celebrities' homes. The perpetrators, who were 18 and 19 years old when the crimes occurred, received prison sentences of varying lengths, probation and community service.Here's a look at the latest celebrities who have experienced home burglaries or burglary attempts.Last month, the Beverly Hills Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that officers arrested a 38-year-old man on Aug. 23 near Wilshire Boulevard and Beverly Glen Boulevard on suspicion of residential burglary.While the department does not release or confirm the identity of homeowners, multiple media outlets reported the property belongs to Richie.A spokesperson from the Beverly Hills Police Department stated that officers responded to a call around midnight on Aug. 22 about a residential burglary.

FIRST ON FOX: TheDepartment of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed that an illegal migrant from Pakistan, who served in the U.S. military, has an extensive history of criminal activity paired with "lies about his military service."Muhammad Zahid Chaudhry originally entered the U.S. in 1998 on a B-2 visa after intentionally leaving out criminal history related to convictions in Australia for stealing goods, falsifying passports and committing financial misconduct, according to DHS. DHS told Fox News Digital that Chaudhry also claimed he was deployed to Iraq, thoughDepartment of Defense records show he was never actually deployed.An official with the Department of Defense told Fox News Digital that illegal migrants cannot serve in the military and an individual must have some form of legal status in order to serve. Green card holders (permanent legal residents) are able to join a branch of the U.S. military.Immigration officials at theU.S. Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS) determined Chaudhrys falsified forms and omitting of criminal history were grounds for removal in 2008, but the Pakistani native has been repeatedly appealing the decision for roughly 17 years.DHS RAGES OVER WHAT IT CALLS A NYT 'SOB STORY' ABOUT CONVICTED JAMAICAN MURDERER DEPORTED BY TRUMP"Sanctuary politician Bruce Harrell and the media are peddling a FALSE sob story on this serial fraudster," DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital. "President Trump andSecretary Noems message is clear: Criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the United States.""Why do sanctuary politicians and the media continue to peddle sob stories of criminal illegals and smear our brave ICE law enforcement officers?" McLaughlin added. "Make no mistake, these types of lies are contributing to ourICE law enforcement officers facing a 1000% increase in assaults."According to an Inspector Generals report obtained by Fox News Digital from 2021, Chaudhry collected $449,459.82 in taxpayer dollars from theDepartment of Veterans Affairs Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) and currently owes the federal government $81,080 for a mortgage reduction grant from the VBA.Sources at the Department of Homeland Security told Fox that Chaudhry entered the country on a B-2 tourist visa and then was granted a green card. After officials discovered he previously lied to immigration officials about his criminal past, the green card was revoked making him an illegal migrant in the U.S.KRISTI NOEM ACCUSES CBS NEWS OF SHAMEFULLY EDITING HER INTERVIEW ABOUT KILMAR ABREGO GARCIAChaudhry remains detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after being arrested during a citizenship appearance in Tukwila, Washington, on Aug. 21, 2025. He has been placed into removal proceedings after an immigration judge ruled he was in violation of federal immigration law.Protests in Seattle have since erupted as hundreds of demonstrators stood outside the ICE detention center demanding Chaudhrys release last week.Seattle radio host Jason Rantz told Fox News Digital that Democrats have tried to "portray [Chaudhry] as some sort of victim."GOP LAWMAKERS AIM TO HIKE PENALTIES ON 'RADICAL LEFT' AS ICE ATTACKS RISE BY OVER 800%"Muhammad Chaudhry has a criminal history which he failed to disclose, and has already had permanent residence status rejected by a judge," Rantz fromSeattle Red 770 AM told Fox. "And yet Democrats still portray him as some sort of victim.""If you want to understand why Democrats continue to make no distinction between criminal illegal immigrants and hard-working ones who just want a better life, its pretty easy now," Rantz added.
