Imagine the taste of a strawberry and matcha plant coming together at a farmers market—that’s the unique flavor profile of MUDWTR’s limited-edition Strawberry Matcha drink. This innovative twist on a popular summer beverage is designed with health-conscious consumers in mind. Offered in a 10-serving bag for $40, it’s available only while supplies last.

This new concoction boasts an impressive dose of over 1,800 milligrams of functional mushrooms. The mix includes lion’s mane for enhanced mental clarity, cordyceps for a natural energy boost, and reishi to support the immune system.

Each serving contains less than a gram of sugar, utilizing real organic strawberry powder in place of overly sweet artificial syrups. This commitment to natural ingredients ensures a refreshingly genuine taste experience.

According to reviewers, the difference is evident. Even those who typically shy away from earthier flavors find this blend to be unexpectedly smooth and enjoyable.

And, reviewers say they can taste the difference, and even those who are usually sensitive to earthier flavors say this blend goes down surprisingly smooth.

“I don’t usually like matcha, but my partner swears by MUD’s regular matcha, so I decided to try out this one,” one reviewer explained.

“The strawberry takes away all the bitterness that I don’t like about matcha and is sweet enough that I don’t have to add sweetener, but not so sweet that it tastes like dessert,” they exclaimed.

All of the mushrooms are USDA-certified organic and grown in California, closer to home than many mushroom products, which are imported from overseas.

MUDWTR says they are “selected for their unique capacity to support mental and physical functions” — and no, they’re not that kind of mushrooms. According to the brand, you won’t experience any psychoactive effects.

Unlike some heavily caffeinated drinks, MUDWTR’s Strawberry Matcha blend contains just 40 milligrams of caffeine — a gentler boost for those trying to avoid the crash. It’s an excellent option for anyone looking for a lighter, healthier coffee alternative.

Heidi Montag took a pause from supporting her husband Spencer Pratt’s run for mayor to enjoy a meal with a friend on Friday.

The possible future First Lady of Los Angeles, 39, was seen having breakfast at Jeannine’s Restaurant & Bakery, located in the upscale celebrity haven of Montecito.

After her meal with a companion, Montag packed her leftovers and returned to her vehicle.

The “I’ll Do It” singer stepped out without makeup, opting for a casual look in a long-sleeved shirt and grey sweatpants.

While Pratt focuses on his mayoral ambitions, Montag has been preparing for her upcoming performance at the Neon Skies Festival in Canada.

She will perform alongside fellow pop divas Kesha and Slayyyter on July 18 in Edmonton, Alberta.

The singer and reality star, 39, was spotted enjoying breakfast at Jeannine’s Restaurant & Bakery in the swanky celebrity enclave of Montecito

Montag is also working on her next album, Masterpiece, which is due out in August.

‘Ultimately, I decided I’m doing this for myself and if it doesn’t catch the way I’m hoping, then you know I can always go back to just being a Mom, but I really wanted to give my music one more try,’ she recently told XO Divad.

It comes after Pratt shut down allegations that his bid for Los Angeles mayor is being filmed for a reality TV show.

The former MTV star, 42, is currently running against rivals Mayor Karen Bass, Councilwoman Nithya Raman, and progressive Christian minister Rae Huang.

TMZ and Deadline claimed that The Hills alum had signed up for an unscripted series to document his campaign for mayor.

Pratt announced he was running for the position in January, one year after his Pacific Palisades home burned down in the deadly Los Angeles wildfires.

However, a spokesperson for Pratt shut down the allegations in a statement to The Wrap on Thursday.

‘This is inaccurate. There is no series in production and cameras have not been following the campaign.’ 

Montag is currently focused on her upcoming third album ‘Masterpiece’ and her performance at the Neon Skies Festival in Canada in July

The spokesperson further stated that Pratt has not signed any contract to film a reality show that follows his run for L.A. mayor.

‘He does not have any signed contract. No contract exists related to this because it isn’t true.’

Pratt also responded to a report that he has been living in a Bel-Air hotel amid his campaign after previously claiming he had been residing inside a trailer after his home burned down last year.

TMZ reported on Wednesday that the star was staying at Hotel Bel-Air while his wife and children are living in the town of Carpinteria.

Pratt offered his response on X by penning, ‘Hey guys, why don’t they wanna talk about why I need a hotel in the first place?

‘Karen Bass let my home burn down. Also 6,000 of my neighbors. NBD.’

Pratt has been surging in the polls since his debate against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Councilwoman Nithya Raman

The former reality star also told TMZ that he has been living at the hotel for safety reasons after receiving death threats amid his bid for mayor.

The trailer was not able to keep him safe and he explained the hotel has ‘its own armed security and that has become the only option.’

He referred to the supporters of his rivals as ‘Bassholes and Ramaniacs’ before sharing he has gotten death threats from ‘whackos.’

‘Since I destroyed them in the debate, and am surging in the polls, they are getting increasingly desperate and hostile. I can’t talk about specific threats, but that lot is unsafe now.’ 

Earlier this month, Pratt took part in a debate alongside Bass and Raman which resulted in his chances of winning surging afterwards.

And he has also received support from his close friends and other celebrities, including reality star Kristin Cavallari, music producer David Foster, comedian Heather McDonald, and Paris Hilton.

Two individuals find themselves in custody following an investigation into a fraud scheme involving counterfeit USPS money orders in Madison County, Alabama. The local sheriff’s department unraveled the fraudulent activity after receiving a complaint from Redstone Federal Credit Union on April 23.

The complaint centered around a member, identified as Tylasia Scott, who had reportedly turned in seven USPS money orders across several branches throughout Madison County. The transactions led to Scott unlawfully obtaining nearly $7,000. Subsequent verification revealed these money orders were fraudulent.

As the investigation unfolded, Tylasia Scott was apprehended and now faces seven charges of possessing a forged instrument in the second degree. The situation captured the attention of a USPIS Special Agent from Birmingham, who joined forces with local investigators to delve deeper into the case, with an eye on identifying any additional conspirators involved in the scheme.

Following the investigation, Tylasia Scott was arrested and charged with seven counts of Possession of a forged instrument, second degree.

Due to the rapidly developing nature of the case and the potential for additional suspects, a USPIS Special Agent based in Birmingham coordinated with investigators and assisted in the ongoing investigation.

MCSO said that their agency was granted a search warrant to search a residence located in the 100 block of Baxter Avenue in Huntsville. While searching the home, detectives located additional fraudulent USPS money orders, identity documents, credit and debit cards, narcotics, firearms, and USPS property.

According to MCSO, a man identified as Kenneth Belt was at the home during the time of the search warrant. He was arrested and charged with eight counts of Possession of a Forged Instrument, Second Degree.

Both were transported and booked into the Madison County Jail.

“Financial crimes like these not only target businesses and financial institutions, but they also undermine trust within our communities. I’m proud of the work our Criminal Investigation Division has done alongside the United States Postal Inspection Service to quickly identify those responsible and remove additional illegal activity from our streets. This investigation is far from over, and we fully expect additional arrests and charges as detectives continue following the evidence.”

Madison County Sheriff Kevin Turne

The Madison County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division, in partnership with the United States Postal Inspection Service, is actively investigating the incident.

A fiery explosion rocked a lumber mill in Searsmont, Maine, on Friday, prompting an ongoing investigation by authorities.

Details regarding the number of injuries or fatalities have not been disclosed by officials as of now.

The Camden Fire & Rescue team confirmed their involvement, stating that they have dispatched a crew to assist with the incident.

“Our thoughts are with the injured, the medical professionals providing care, and the first responders working diligently to manage the situation,” the department expressed in a Facebook statement. “We expect our team to be engaged in support efforts for several days.”

Local news outlets, including WABI, have reported multiple injuries stemming from the explosion.

Ben Hamel, the mill’s purchasing manager, told the Bangor Daily News that the fire started in an area where wood shavings are packaged. The fire then spread to a nearby dust silo, which exploded.

The cause of the fire has not yet been released.

A trooper at the scene told bystanders there is a “major fuel leak” and urged them to move away from the area, according to the outlet.

Maine Gov. Janet Mills posted on X noting she has been briefed on the unfolding situation.

“I urge folks to stay clear of the area, follow the instructions of law enforcement, and allow emergency personnel to respond,” Mills wrote in a statement on X. “I ask Maine people to join me in keeping all those affected in their thoughts.”

Rep. Jared Golden, D-Maine, added he is “praying for the safety and well-being of first responders and everyone else on-site.”

“I’m aware of the fire and explosion in Searsmont,” Golden wrote in an X post. “I ask locals to follow law enforcement instructions, and to look to official channels and trusted sources for more information as it becomes available.”

The cause of the fire is unknown, as of Friday afternoon. (WABI)

Searsmont is a small rural town about one and a half hours northeast of Portland and about four hours north of Boston.

Maine State Police and the Augusta Fire Department did not immediately respond to additional inquiries from Fox News Digital.

David Hasselhoff, famed for his role in Baywatch, has stirred concerns over his health after being spotted in a wheelchair recently, following ongoing health challenges.

The 73-year-old actor, who gained global fame as the dashing Mitch Buchannon, appeared notably frail and almost unrecognizable while leaving a physical therapy session in Los Angeles.

Sporting silver hair, the star was also seen with a bandage on his ankle, a few weeks after undergoing knee and hip replacement surgeries.

His devoted wife, Hayley Roberts, 45, was by his side, attentively assisting him as he was escorted to a waiting vehicle.

Hasselhoff leaned on Roberts for support as he carefully got into the car.

The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for David Hasselhoff for comment.

Even with a Baywatch reboot in the works, Hasselhoff has kept a very low profile, having been seen publicly just twice since last July, sparking concern among fans. 

Last month he was seen struggling to stand in exclusive Daily Mail photos, days after being spotted leaning on trekking poles on a walk

The  Daily Mail learned that the actor’s health is improving after he underwent replacement surgery on his knee and hip.

A representative for Hasselhoff revealed he had undergone the procedures after he was seen using a wheelchair to get around Los Angeles airport. 

They added that he was now doing well and was focused on his recovery. 

Hasselhoff had told photographers in July that he was planning to have surgery on his knee when he was seen limping through Los Angeles airport on a trip to Cancun. He was later seen being pushed in a wheelchair by an airline worker.  

At the time, a source told the Daily Mail that the actor was ‘living on borrowed time’ after years of hard living.

Hasselhoff had struggled with alcohol abuse in the past, exemplified by the leak of a 2007 video apparently shot by his daughter Taylor Ann, in which he was clearly intoxicated.

She quizzed him about his drinking in the tense video and worried that it might harm his role in a Las Vegas production of The Producers that he had been appearing in at the time.

In September, Fox announced they would be ‘reimagining’ the beloved show

After the clip was released, Hasselhoff claimed that it had been done so intentionally by his daughter to reveal his behavior when he was drunk.

Hasselhoff’s nature walk came just over a year after the tragic death of his second wife and former Baywatch costar, Pamela Bach at the age of 62.

She was found dead at her home in March 2025 after taking her own life.

Bach was married to Hasselhoff from 1989 until their 2006 divorce and they were parents to daughters Taylor Hasselhoff-Fiore, 35, and 33-year-old Hayley Hasselhoff.

A spokesman for Hasselhoff exclusively told the Daily Mail at the time: ‘Our family is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Pamela Hasselhoff.

‘We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time but we kindly request privacy as we grieve and navigate through this challenging time.’

Although they starred together on Baywatch, Hasselhoff and Pamela met earlier, on the set of his science fiction series Knight Rider in 1986.

He was married to his costar Catherine Hickland at the time, before they divorced in 1989.

Hasselhoff and Bach reconnected that year when she was cast on Baywatch and they later married in 1989.

After his divorce, the actor began dating his wife Hayley – who is from Wales – in 2011 and they got married in Puglia, Italy, in 2018.

On Friday, Attorney General Wilson indicated that if Murdaugh is convicted again in a new trial, prosecutors might consider pursuing the death penalty. This follows the Supreme Court’s recent decision to nullify Murdaugh’s previous murder convictions.

“With the Supreme Court’s ruling, we’re essentially restarting this case, which means all legal avenues are open to us, including the possibility of the death penalty,” Wilson explained in a statement to Fox News Digital.

During his sentencing at the Colleton County courthouse in Walterboro, S.C., on March 3, 2023, Alex Murdaugh addressed the court after being found guilty of murdering his wife and son.

On the same day, Attorney General Wilson was seen shaking hands with a bailiff at the Colleton County Courthouse in Walterboro, following the guilty verdict against Murdaugh on all four counts.

The South Carolina Supreme Court this week vacated Murdaugh’s 2023 convictions in the fatal shootings of his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and younger son, Paul Murdaugh, citing improper contact with jurors by former Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill. The court ordered a new trial.
