Kristen Bell's Surprising Wish to Leave L.A. Behind for a Simpler Life New

Kristen Bell's Surprising Wish to Leave L.A. Behind for a Simpler Life

Kristen Bell is dreaming of the days where her family of four has left the City of Angeles. “The prescription out here is hustle, and I want something to feel softer and slower,” the Nobody Wants This star, 46, revealed of life in Los Angeles during the Thursday, October 29, episode of Erin and Sara Foster’s “World’s First” podcast. “It doesn’t have to feel like that. I've had plenty of days where I've been like, ‘Let's just go, take a friend and l go to lunch or go ride horses or walk around Griffith Park.’” She continued, “They're fewer and far between than I'd like because when I'm here, someone's calling like, ‘Can you support this charity event? Can you show up at this thing for the show? Can you shoot this thing for me? A friend of a friend is making a short film and they want to get it seen. Can you be in it?’” Bell and husband Dax Shepard are currently raising their two daughters, Delta and Lincoln, in L.A. amid the actress’ personal affinity for destinations like Nashville. “It's, like, because of the amount of opportunities,” she quipped of her mindset. “I almost want to be away from opportunities. I know that sounds terrible.” Erin, 44, empathized with Bell, who plays a version of the podcaster in her Netflix series. (Erin and Sara, 45, cocreated the romantic comedy loosely based on Erin’s interfaith relationship with now-husband Simon Tikhman. She has since converted to Judaism.) “I think you and I have that in common where we're like, ‘Everything is about getting back to our family and getting back home to our kids and our home life and having a home-cooked meal and sitting around watching TV,” Erin noted. “[We’re focused on] the wholesomeness of it, as opposed to chasing this thing. It's incongruent, like, everything in my soul pulls me back home. That’s where I want to be.” For Bell, she wants to be able to balance her thriving acting career with a private home life. “I think that also comes with the privilege of sort of having a hit show ‘cause if any of us were feeling like we were super struggling and we wanted more out of our creative ventures, I don't think we'd be having this conversation,” she acknowledged. “We'd be like, ‘I got to go to that thing ‘cause I want to get noticed or I want to get my project seen.’” Bell continued, “I've had the luxury of saying, ‘I've done it.’ I've been to the Oscars, I've been nominated for things [and] I've hit the mountain peaks, right? I've worn so many fancy dresses I can't even see straight. But, it's only because of that I've learned that, ‘Oh, it still [feels] pretty empty. It didn't make me feel any differently, but do you know what does always make me feel differently? When I'm home and clearheaded, I’m not doing something or [sending] emails or whatever’s on my to-do list and I welcome my middle schoolers home.’”

North Carolina Chili's Patrons Shocked After Margarita Mishap

See more of our coverage in your search results. Not-so-happy hour.A round of margaritas turned into a nightmare at a North Carolina Chili’s when bartenders mistakenly mixed a cleaning chemical into customers’ drinks — leaving three customers with chemical burns.The mix-up happened Wednesday at the restaurant chain’s Forest City location, when an employee preparing the bar for lunch service mistook a granulated degreaser for sugar.Customers at a North Carolina Chili’s suffered chemical burns after a cleaning product was mistakenly mixed into their margaritas. WLOSThe chemical had been brought to the dining chain two days earlier by a worker who received it from a contractor power-washing the building’s exterior, according to the Foothills Health District.The substance was placed in an unlabeled container and left in the bar area, where another employee found it Wednesday and mistook it for sugar while preparing margaritas.Three customers ordered the cocktails and “immediately experienced discomfort,” suffering chemical burns in and around their mouths, the health agency said. The patrons alerted the restaurant staff before leaving to seek medical attention.Two employees then tasted the mystery substance in the container and developed similar symptoms.A granulated degreaser left by a contractor ended up in the bar, where a worker mistook it for sugar and added it to cocktails. Chili's“I’m not sure what degree of chemical burns they had, but they went to urgent care and were treated there,” Foothills Health District spokesperson Megan Rollins said, according to ABC News13.The bizarre incident has left at least one regular customer shaken and questioning whether he will return to the restaurant’s bar.“I was beyond surprised and almost scared,” Chili’s regular Levonne Baker told the outlet.The health district suspended the restaurant’s permit before reinstating it after officials cleared its food safety practices. WLOSBaker compared the ordeal to something out of a horror movie.“It has made me a little nervous about going back to the bar because it’s like what’s in there next? I mean, am I going to be the next person who’s going next door? And not for an oil change,” he said.A mechanic and an urgent care facility are located next door to the Chili’s.The Foothills Health District launched an investigation and immediately suspended the restaurant’s food service permit, ordering staff to thoroughly wash and sanitize affected food preparation areas, equipment and surfaces.The permit was reinstated by Thursday morning after environmental health specialists completed their investigation and determined the restaurant met “all applicable food safety requirements.”“This incident highlights the importance of proper chemical labeling, storage, and handling in food service establishments, as required by the North Carolina Food Code, to prevent chemical contamination and protect public health,” Foothills Health District Director Jason Masters said.
