Ali Larter ‘Never Believed’ She’d Leave Hollywood for Idaho
Ali Larter never imagined she would settle down in Idaho after spending most of her life in Hollywood.
“It unfolded in the most incredible way for us,” the Landman star, 48, reveals about her and husband Hayes MacArthur’s new life in Idaho in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “If you had told me this 20 years ago, even five years ago, I would have never believed that I’d be living in a very small town in the mountains.”
She continues: “We absolutely adore it, and we are so grateful to get to raise our family here. It’s really, really beautiful to live a smaller life with our children during this chapter.”
Larter explains that the idea came about during the COVID-19 pandemic when her and MacArthur’s children’s schools were shut down. (The couple, who wed in 2009, are parents to son Theodore, 13, and daughter Vivienne, 9.)
“It was just kind of a mess. And Hayes and I decided to just go on a road trip and see where it led us,” she recalls. “We drove into the mountains thinking that we could see with the kids [while they continued] Zoom school.”
As the family explored the area, they fell in love with what the local nature had to offer.
“We love being here and being back in the seasons,” she says, “The Aspen [trees] are bright and yellow right now, and to watch that is my favorite time of the year.”

Before relocating to Idaho, Larter grew up in New Jersey and lived in New York City for a decade before calling Hollywood home for more than 20 years. She always considered herself to be a city girl, she says, but after seeing what small-town life could offer her and her family, she decided to “pivot.”
“I always thought I would live in one of those big cities. I loved my time in those places, but I also feel like we didn’t know that life was available to us,” she confesses. “Even if you talked five years ago, Hayes and I thought we had to be in Los Angeles to be an actor. We weren’t at this place where we were like movie stars, and we could just go live anywhere.”
Larter was ultimately proven right as she continues to act while also putting down family roots in Idaho. She is currently starring in Taylor Sheridan’s new series Landman, which premieres on Paramount+ on Sunday, November 17. In addition to Larter playing Angela, the cast also includes Billy Bob Thorton, Demi Moore and Jon Hamm.
“This was actually an arduous casting process for me. I had to audition three times and then screen test,” Larter shares of the process to get the role. “So I really had to fight to get to have Angela.”
Larter adds that while she was trying to find the best way to embody her character, Sheridan would make changes to the scripts as he developed Angela’s personality.
“From the very first bit that I saw that he wrote about this woman, I knew she was just a complete firecracker and an emotional tornado,” she teases. “And then I had to embody her.”

Police Urge Public to Check Bank Statements for Boise-Area Fraud
We’re lucky to live in a place as safe as the Treasure Valley. Despite our growth, one of the things that makes our area so special is the way that we look out for one another–for our neighbors! That’s a principle that seems to have held on as Boise has boomed.
Despite low crime rates, there seems to always be one incident or so that makes us scratch our heads.
A recent string of fraud incidents in the Treasure Valley area is one of those.
Nampa Police initially warned the public of this because cases of fraud began to ‘mushroom’. Then, it took an interesting turn–people that HAD their credit cards were being ‘taken to the bank’, so to speak.
In a statement originally released on April 30th by the Nampa Police Department, officials advised the following:
We are not sure how the suspects are gaining access to the victim’s credit cards. There is a growing fraud scheme, “ghost tapping”, that scammers are using to access victims’ credit cards. This is possibly occurring in these instances. “Ghost tapping” uses stolen credit card details in Apple Pay or Google Pay, then remotely relays the tap signal over the internet to a ‘mule’ at a store, allowing them to make high-value purchases that appear completely legitimate. (We’ll share more information on ghost tapping in a later public service announcement that will also suggest ways to protect yourself.) The app used by these criminals obscures the actual credit card number, making it harder for investigators to link a victim to a particular crime. Keep in mind that victims still have their physical credit cards while suspects use the stolen card information to make purchases, which also affects how victims are alerted. So far, local investigators have not been able to identify a common theme among the victims (e.g., a specific bank, a website they visited, a gas pump they used, etc.) in the fraud cases we are investigating.
The investigation spans far and wide.
Authorities say that some suspects are in custody, others are being contacted, and others are still at large.
Now, a week later, the police are back to reaching out to the public–this time, urging people to check their bank accounts.
Nampa Police say that they have caught onto a pattern– there are fraudulent charges at Albertson’s to purchase gift cards, at Costco to purchase Apple products, and at Best Buy, also for Apple products.
Check those bank statements!

Public Health Alert and Food Recall Issued For Pizza and Pork Rinds Sold in Idaho
The USDA has issued a public health alert for various meat and poultry products containing FDA-regulated dairy that may have been contaminated with salmonella. The recall was originally issued on April 30th, but the contaminated product list could continue to grow as more products are identified.
The Food Safety and Inspection arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued the public health alert and there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the products listed below, consumers are still advised to dispose of the items or return them to the place of purchase. Great Value and Pork King Good products sold at Idaho Walmart stores are included in the alert and recall.
Public Health Alert and Food Recall Issued For Pizza and Pork Rinds Sold in Idaho
As of right now, the food list includes pork rinds, breakfast pizzas, and chicken bacon ranch pizzas. The list could grow and the USDA advises consumers to check the list frequently. We will also update the list here when possible. The contaminated products carry a variety of ‘Best By’ and ‘Produced On’ dates, so check the lists carefully to make sure you don’t consume a contaminated product.
The nationwide brands to look for are Mama Cozzi’s from Aldi stores, Pork King Good, and Great Value at Walmart Stores.
