‘The Madison’ star Elle Chapman says 8-mile hikes, horse rides in Montana kept her ‘grounded’

"The Madison" star Elle Chapman has found what works for her wellness routine while starring in her biggest role yet.

During an interview with NewBeauty, Chapman opened up about how she was able to stay grounded while starring in the Taylor Sheridan show.

"We filmed part of 'The Madison' in Montana, and exploring the beauty of the state was incredible. I’d recharge with hiking areas like Fairy Lake, The M, Peets Hill and the Gallatin National Forest," Chapman began.

She continued, "I think one day Patrick J. Adams and I hiked eight miles! Also, thanks to our show's head wrangler, Jason Owen, I was able to ride horses on the weekends. That mix of nature and physical movement kept me grounded."

While spending time in Montana filming "The Madison," the young actress became "obsessed" with hot yoga.

"I absolutely hate it when I’m doing it, but it's a perfect reset. While filming in Montana, I found a spot in Bozeman called Bend & Beyond that would kick my a--, but I always felt incredible afterward!" she told the outlet.

Chapman stars as Paige McIntosh, the daughter of Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell's characters. During an interview with The Mirror, Chapman opened up about how her own history with loss influenced her performance as Paige.

"For me, the show was very heavy because I lost my father when I was young, but it was also cathartic in a way because I was reliving some moments sometimes," she told the outlet in March.

Chapman echoed these sentiments during an interview with Town & Country. "We both share a lot of grief," she said of her character. "I have been through that; I’ve been through losing your father and feeling like your whole family’s falling apart."

"Not only are these characters grieving, but they’re also being stripped away from what they know," she continued. "That’s what grief feels like. When you lose someone, it feels like your entire world has shifted and changed, and that’s what these characters are going through, literally. They are being ripped away from the New York City comforts."

She also told The Mirror that working with Pfeiffer reminded her of her own family.

"Michelle’s performances always bring out some different things in you and in one take I started crying and after we cut I couldn’t stop crying," she said. "I apologized and said 'I’m sorry, I can’t get out of this'. It was something she said that reminded me of my dad."

Chapman continued, "She [Michelle] said 'It’s okay, baby. You are an artist and this just means your instrument is working', and I just really took that home and I don’t think I will ever forget that moment, especially for a rookie to experience something like that."

The 26-year-old star told NewBeauty that she remains calm in the chaos by reaching out to her family.

"In overwhelming moments, what grounds me is reconnecting with what truly matters to me—whether that’s calling my grandmother or little sister, or taking time to draw in my sketchbook or play guitar," she said. "I ground myself by doing something that makes me feel safe, which is usually art or music-related if it’s not loved ones."

"The Madison" premiered on Paramount+ on March 14.

Machete-wielding suspect claiming to be 'Lucifer' shot by police after allegedly stabbing 3 at transit hub

The New York Police Department (NYPD) said an officer shot and killed a suspect who claimed to be "Lucifer" in Grand Central Terminal while allegedly attacking three people with a machete on the subway platform.

Officers shot and killed 44-year-old Anthony Griffin after he advanced towards them with a machete, ignoring over 20 warnings to stop, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a Saturday press conference.

Officers responded to a 9:40 a.m. 911 call of an assault in progress at the train station. Upon arrival, they found Griffin wielding the machete, police said.

Griffin was "repeatedly stating that he was Lucifer," Tisch said.

After Griffin refused orders to drop the knife, one officer discharged his service weapon and shot him twice, she added. Griffin was transported to a local hospital and died.

Griffin had three prior unsealed arrests but no history of being an emotionally disturbed person, Tisch told reporters.

The three stabbing victims were an 84-year-old male, a 70-year-old female, and a 64-year-old male. All three were transported to local hospitals but are all in stable condition.

The 84-year-old sustained face and head lacerations, the 65-year old man sustained similar injuries in addition to an open skull fracture. The 70-year-old sustained shoulder lacerations.

Two NYPD officers were also taken to hospitals with minor injuries.

Tisch lauded her officers for taking action while admonishing the dangers of violent crime.

"Random acts of violence scare everyone. Anyone can be a victim of random violence and that is why it is so important for New Yorkers to understand that the NYPD has recently upped our presence in the transit system," Tisch said, while saying the NYPD added 175 additional officers last month.

The 4, 5, 6, and 7 trains are skipping the Grand Central Terminal 42nd St. stop while the NYPD conduct an investigation, the Metro Transit Authority (MTA) told Fox News Digital.

OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTING REPORTED INSIDE NYC HOSPITAL FOLLOWING KNIFE INCIDENT

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul weighed in, calling the series of stabbings a "senseless act of violence" in a Saturday morning tweet.

"I'm grateful to our brave officers who acted quickly to stop the suspect," she wrote, adding that Albany would be working closely with the NYPD on the investigation.

New Zealand cyclist Kiaan Watts suspended after punching rival rider mid-race

A New Zealand cyclist has been temporarily banned from competition after video captured him punching a fellow rider during a race last month.

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) announced this week that Kiaan Watts, 24, will serve a 25-day suspension for his actions during the Salverda Bouw Ster van Zwolle race in the Netherlands on March 7.

"Video footage of the incident at the Dutch event on 7 March 2026 showed Kiaan Watts reaching towards another rider and delivering him a closed fist punch," the statement read. "The rider acknowledged the violation of article 12.4.009 of the UCI Regulations and accepted the sanction proposed by the UCI." 

The BBC reported that Marijn Maas of the Netherlands was the rider struck by Watts. He wobbled but remained upright after the punch, and Watts was reportedly disqualified from the race. 

LENGTHY SUSPENSIONS HANDED OUT TO MEMBERS OF WILD ANGELS-BRAVES BRAWL THAT SAW FISTS, TACKLES

Watts, who currently rides for the NSN Development Team, served a one-day suspension from his team and will serve a 25-day suspension imposed by the UCI. He was also ordered to pay a $220 fine and was deducted 25 UCI points.

He can return to competition on May 2. 

"The UCI issues a reminder that, as holders of UCI licences and members of the cycling community, riders enjoy rights and assume responsibilities aimed at promoting the values of cycling and protecting the integrity of the sport," the statement added.

"Respecting this Charter fosters an environment in which sportsmanship, fairness, and respect prevail."

Iran's supreme leader severely disfigured by US strikes: report

Iran's new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is severely disfigured after suffering leg and face injuries as a result of joint U.S.-Israel airstrikes on Tehran in February, Reuters reported Saturday.

Khamenei is recovering after incurring the injuries in the February 28 airstrikes that killed his father, former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei. He has not been seen publicly since being hospitalized.

Despite the injuries, Khamenei allegedly remains "mentally sharp," Reuters reported, citing a trio of anonymous sources within his inner circle. The new supreme leader is in communication with the Iranian delegation in Pakistan for peace talks with a U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance.

The Reuters report corroborates an earlier statement from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who told reporters on March 13 that Khamenei was "likely disfigured."

IRAN POSTPONES TEHRAN FAREWELL CEREMONY FOR KHAMENEI WHERE LARGE CROWDS WERE EXPECTED TO GATHER

He then reiterated the claim in a Thursday press conference while outlining the U.S. military's achievements in Iran.

"Their top leadership was systematically eliminated, their previous Iranian supreme leader dead, the supreme national security council secretary dead, the supreme leader office advisor dead, the supreme leader military office chief dead, the defense minister no longer with us, the IRGC commander dead, the armed forces general staff commander dead, the intelligence minister dead, the IRGC navy commander no longer here, the IRGC Intel chief dead," Hegseth listed.

"I skipped over a bunch, and I could go on and on and on, to include the new — so-called new supreme leader, wounded and disfigured. This new regime was out of options and out of time, so they cut a deal."

NEW IRANIAN SUPREME LEADER 'LIKELY DISFIGURED,' HEGSETH SAYS

Despite his weakened condition, Khamenei vowed to put up resistance in a defiant written statement Thursday.

"Iran is not seeking war but will not forfeit its rights and considers all resistance fronts as a unified entity," the statement read.

Hegseth dismissed the statement as "weak" in his March press conference.

EXILED IRANIAN CROWN PRINCE SAYS REGIME IS 'CRUMBLING' AFTER KILLING OF KHAMENEI, OTHER LEADERS

"It was a written statement. Iran has plenty of cameras and plenty of voice recorders. Why a written statement?" Hegseth asked. "I think you know why. His father, dead. He's scared, he's injured, he's on the run and he lacks legitimacy. It's a mess for them. Who's in charge? Iran may not even know."

Sources reportedly told Reuters that Khamenei could enter the public spotlight in a month or two, but only if "his health and the security situation allowed.

While many publicly question where and when we may see the supreme leader again, Iranian hardliners stress the importance of him keeping a low-profile.

"Why should he ​appear in public? To become a target for these criminals?" an Iranian militiaman asked Reuters in a text message.

Terry Rozier, who was arrested as part of illegal sports betting investigation, released by Heat: report

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier, who was arrested in October as part of an FBI investigation into illegal sports betting, was reportedly released by the team on Friday.

Rozier, 32, had been away from the team since his arrest and was placed on leave by the NBA for his alleged involvement in illegal sports betting during his time with the Charlotte Hornets. ESPN first reported his release.

Rozier pleaded not guilty to counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering in December.

During a game in 2023, Rozier played fewer than 10 minutes, citing a foot injury. Multiple people placed high-stakes wagers on Rozier to play poorly before the game, and all of those individuals won their bets.

Rozier, who signed a four-year, $96.3 million contract extension in 2023, will have his contract come off the books after the season. The $26.6 million he was supposed to earn this season was placed in escrow as his case plays out.

WARRIORS' DRAYMOND GREEN FLOATS NBA TANKING FIX, SAYS PLAY-IN TOURNAMENT 'AIN'T WORKING'

The Hornets traded Rozier to the Heat in January 2024, a trade that has come under scrutiny in light of the allegations. The Heat were not aware of the federal and NBA investigations into Rozier at the time of the trade.

After the allegations came forth, the Hornets agreed to give the Heat a second-round pick in the upcoming draft.

For the Heat, the reported release of Rozier allows them to free up a roster spot heading into the playoffs.

The Heat, at 41-39, are currently 10th in the Eastern Conference and are set to make the Play-In Tournament, as the 11th place Milwaukee Bucks are 31-49 and nowhere close to competing for the final spot.

Michelle Pfeiffer fought 'battle' with Taylor Sheridan before surrendering to hit show 'The Madison'

Michelle Pfeiffer’s decision to join Taylor Sheridan’s new series "The Madison" wasn’t an easy one.

The Hollywood legend shared how her "battle" with the famous director over a scriptless pitch ultimately paid off.

During an appearance on the "Today" show Friday, host Willie Geist said, "This role, I understand, was a little bit of a surprise. He called you in and said, ‘Effectively, I’ve designed a series around you, are you in?’ What did you say?"

'THE MADISON' STAR MICHELLE PFEIFFER CREDITS ONE SIMPLE BEAUTY SECRET FOR HER AGELESS GLOW AT 67

Pfeiffer replied, "I said, ‘Great, I’d love to read something.’"

But there was a twist, as Sheridan, who’s known for pulling talent in without scripts, threw Pfeiffer for a loop when he revealed, "I’d like to cast first, and then I write." 

Pfeiffer wasn’t sold on the idea right away. "We went back and forth like that for a few weeks," she confessed.

"And then I realized I was not going to win this battle, so I took a huge leap of faith. Obviously, he has an amazing track record."

Sheridan’s success in the genre and his impressive track record — especially with "Yellowstone" — finally convinced her to take the plunge.

"He talked to me … he gave me the sort of general scope of the character and what [the] journey was for this family … I was really interested in that," she explained. 

"It's a grind, doing a TV show and being away for all those months, but, you know, I can now."

It wasn’t just Sheridan’s reputation that sealed the deal — Pfeiffer called up fellow actress Helen Mirren, who starred in "1883," "Yellowstone’s" prequel, for advice. 

Pfeiffer explained, "I don’t know Helen, but from what I’ve seen and heard, she’s sort of a ‘take no prisoners’ kind of person. I thought she’d be really straight with me, like ‘Run’ or you know … and basically it was like ‘run and do it.’"

'THE MADISON' STAR MATTHEW FOX ADMITS WHY HE DITCHED HOLLYWOOD AT THE HEIGHT OF 'LOST' FAME

"She said, ‘The scripts are amazing, the best-run productions that I’ve ever been on.' And I’m having so much fun."

Mirren’s glowing recommendation, along with Sheridan’s pitch, ultimately sealed the deal for Pfeiffer, who said she’s enjoying the ride.

Pfeiffer is also joined by Kurt Russell, her longtime friend and co-star, in "The Madison."

The duo had been hoping for a reunion — and now they’re finally sharing the screen again.

"I always want to be with Kurt," she previously told Fox News Digital. "I had such a good time working with him on ‘Tequila Sunrise.’"

"The Madison" follows Pfeiffer’s character, Stacy Clyburn, as she and her family leave their New York City life behind after a devastating loss. The show has already proven to be a massive success.

The premiere episode hit 8 million global streaming views in just 10 days, making it Sheridan’s biggest launch to date. The show has already been renewed for a second season.

Masters TV coverage a mixed bag of streaming frustration

Welcome to Friday at The Masters. Tune into the Masters app, Masters.com, Prime TV, Paramount+ and ESPN for your wall-to-wall coverage!

Yes, it seems like a heavy lift. In some ways, it has been for golf fans. Gone are the days of CBS firing up the cameras at 3 p.m., and showing us four straight hours of golf. 

But that's not necessarily a bad thing. Predictably, Augusta National has had to evolve, along with its partners, to this new age of streaming. It's tricky, because Augusta is famous for shaping the coverage of this event. Sometimes, you wonder if they want you to see it at all. I get it. 

CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM

I will say, though, that the introduction of Prime to this year's tournament has been more of a success than I would've thought. 

But first, a quick rundown of how to watch golf today, tomorrow, and, most importantly, Sunday:

So, that's basically it in a nutshell. Sure, that nutshell may be huge, but it's still a nutshell. Or something like that. 

To watch The Masters all day — from sun-up to sundown — you need a combination of Paramount+, Amazon Prime, and ESPN. That's for today. To watch over the weekend, you can go ahead and drop the Amazon subscription if you so choose, but pick up CBS. 

Again, it sounds daunting. "All you need is a laptop, a TV and a few subscriptions." OK. Sounds great! Thanks, Augusta, for letting us in!

Some folks, understandably so, are annoyed:

I get it. Too many cooks in the kitchen. That certainly applies here. But, that's the age we live in. The streaming era is ruthless. It all seemed great on paper years ago, but now it's just become exhausting. 

It's not all bad. For starters, the simplest answer to all of this is "Just use The Masters app." Yes, it's a great app. It has everything. You can watch it all, in one spot. Same with Masters.com. 

You can go there right now and watch the featured groups, Amen corner, and holes 4, 5 and 6. 

Obviously, that's not going to be for everyone, though. It can also be clunky, as most streaming apps are. That's just the nature of the business. 

JACK NICKLAUS’ CEREMONIAL TEE SHOT AT THE MASTERS COMES DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO PATRONS

A lot of folks also don't realize you can put the Masters app on your smart TVs, so they end up holding a phone or watching their laptops all day. Not great. And yes, I'm talking about the older folks. I don't think that's any big secret. 

I'll will, however, give Prime credit. Again, usually when a new streaming service gets involved in a sport, it can be dicey. Netflix was crucified for a pretty subpar MLB debut a few weeks ago. 

By all accounts, Prime has been solid so far this week:

Again, not bad. I've seen these things spiral pretty quickly. Prime seemed ready to roll, which makes sense given they've had the Thursday Night Football package for years now. 

Anyway, like anything in 2026, Masters coverage has been met with mixed reviews all week. Does it feel like we're getting yanked around? Sure. Has Prime been a nice addition to fill the gap between the morning and the main broadcast? Absolutely. 

Some folks will tell you to quit complaining, because there was a time, not too long ago, where you didn't get any Masters TV coverage until 3 p.m. 

Obviously, that's no longer the case. You can watch golf all day long now. 

You just have to work to find it.
