Armie Hammer's ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers targeted in attempted break-in at her home in LA
Chambers caught someone on her surveillance trying to enter her residence while she was away, according to TMZ.
The TV personality called police immediately to report the attempted break-in.
The outlet reported that the suspect had already left by the time the police arrived.
No one was hurt and there was no sign of forced entry at Elizabeth's property, according to their sources.
Chambers recently moved back to the states in September 2024 with her kids - after living in the Cayman Islands since early 2020.
Chambers shares two children — daughter Harper, nine, and son Ford, seven — with 38-year-old Hammer, who she split from in July 2020 after 10 years of marriage.
Their divorce was finalized in 2023 and they agreed to shared custody of Harper and Ford.
Chambers is the CEO of BIRD Bakery, which launched in 2012 with locations in Texas and Colorado, and she hosted a new TV series called Toxic about toxic and traumatic relationships for Investigation Discovery.
During an appearance at Modern Day Wife's SO LET'S SHOP event in SLS Beverly Hills in November 2024, she spoke exclusively to DailyMail.com about her new outlook.
When asked how she 'defines' herself nearly four years after Hammer's public downfall cast an unwanted shadow over her personal and professional life, the TV personality cited her 'integrity' as well as her strength as a mother, friend and businesswoman.
'I think that what defines me as a woman is what kind of mother I am, what kind of boss that I am, what kind of friend that I am,' Chambers began.
'So yeah, integrity is everything right? We have one chance to do it right. As a mother, as a friend, as a leader.
'And that is the most important thing,' she concluded.
She spoke about living in Grand Cayman, where she waited out her 'wild divorce' as well as a the global COVID-19 pandemic, in a candid Instagram post shared in late September.
'Almost five years ago, the kids and I left for what we thought would be a three day boat trip in St. Barts. While we were on the boat, COVID escalated and we traveled to Grand Cayman for early spring break and to be with family for what we expected to be a couple weeks at most,' she wrote to her Instagram followers.
'A full global pandemic and a wild divorce later, our time in Cayman came to an end and we returned to Los Angeles.'
She included footage of herself, daughter Harper and movers from Roadway Moving transporting their belongings from a local storage unit to their new Los Angeles abode.
Her ex-husband paid a visit to the new house as she and the kids were moving in on September 11, as per photos obtained by DailyMail.com.
When Chambers first announced the move in August, she thanked her new boyfriend Ricardas Kazinec, a wellness therapist she's been dating since September 2022, for helping her make the transition from Grand Cayman to Los Angeles.
Her ex-husband Hammer moved back to LA over the summer — nearly four years after his once promising career in Hollywood came to an abrupt end following his sexual abuse controversy and accusations that he was a 'cannibal.'
In February 2021, Armie's ex-girlfriend, Effie Angelova, 26, accused him of 'violently' raping and abusing her in 2017.
Several other women — including model Paige Lorenze — also came forward to accuse the actor of abuse, sexual coercion and suggested he had a disturbing cannibalism 'kink.'
Hammer denied the accusations of rape through his attorney and said all of his sexual encounters were 'completely consensual, discussed and agreed upon in advance and mutually participatory'.
Last year, the Los Angeles County District Attorney announced that Hammer would not face any charges in the sexual assault case due to 'insufficient evidence.'
Weeks after moving back to LA in August 2024, the actor sounded optimistic as he told his Instagram followers that he was ready for 'a new car, in a new apartment, in a new life.'
Giving rare insight into his finances post-scandal, he admitted that he could no longer afford to put gas in the truck that he's owned since 2017.
'Since being back in L.A., I have put about $400 or $500 worth of gas in it and I can't afford it. I can't afford the gas anymore,' he confessed.
Because of this, Hammer had to sell the truck and he now drives a 'tiny' hybrid car.
More recently, Hammer launched his very own podcast — The Armie HammerTime Podcas t — where he has candidly addressed his various controversies.
The very first episode was filmed inside of Hammer's modest Los Angeles apartment and featured fellow actor Tom Arnold as a guest.
Last year, he used his platform to joke about being called a 'cannibal rapist' while seated beside his elderly mother Dru, who came to her son's defense by reminding audiences that he was 'completely exonerated' of any crimes.
While he's no longer an A-list leading man, Hammer did recently reveal that he is starring in a Western film called Frontier Crucible, which began shooting in November 2024, according to Deadline.
It marks his first acting project since he was ousted from Hollywood.

Brooks Nader suffers ANOTHER wardrobe malfunction in a plunging silk dress while at the ESPYS
Brooks Nader suffered yet another wardrobe malfunction while attending the 2025 ESPY Awards on Wednesday. The 28-year-old Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model sizzled on the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood in a plunging cream silk dress. However, the low-cut design unfortunately ended with Brooks revealing a bit too much. The braless star suffered a mishap as her dress pulled to the side, resulting in a nip slip. The model was pictured fixing the issue as she adjusted the neckline with both her hands. Later she was seen holding her dress in place while walking onto the stage alongside Joey Logano. The incident comes after Brooks also encountered a wardrobe malfunction at Wimbledon, when her menstrual cycle began, causing bleeding that became visible on her white skirt. The mishap resulted in her getting a partnership with a tampon brand. The model sizzled at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood red carpet in a plunging dress. However, the braless star suffered a mishap as her dress pulled to the side, resulting in a nip slip During her red carper appearance on Wednesday, the blonde beauty completed her look with champagne colored heels. Her voluminous tresses were styled in bouncy waves cascading down her shoulders. She finalized the look with chunky gold earrings. She wore smokey eyeshadow and pink blush that accentuated her cheeks before presenting on stage at the biggest night in sports. Brooks continued to struggle with the dress afterwards while heading to dinner at Craig's in Hollywood. The ESPYs were hosted by comedian and actor Shane Gillis at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. The event - also known as the Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards - recognize outstanding achievements in sports over the past year. Earlier this month Brooks demonstrated her healthy sense of humor about herself as she addressed her wardrobe malfunction at Wimbledon. The star stuck to the themes of summertime and tennis, slipping into a white skirt for the world-famous tournament. The model was pictured fixing the issue as she adjusted the neckline with both her hands She wore smokey eyeshadow and pink blush that accentuated her cheeks before presenting on stage at the biggest night in sports But while she was in public, her period started and she bled through the fabric, with stains visible along the back of the skirt. She laughed off the snafu on TikTok, posting a video of herself getting confidently up from a table only for her sisters to start cringing at her. At that point Brooks turned around and the shot ran down the length of her outfit, so that the stains were in clear view on camera. The Baton Rouge-born clotheshorse poked fun at herself the in text over the video as well, writing: 'tries to be chic,' and then: 'Starts [blood emoji] at Wimbledon.' Fans leapt into the comments to praise her for being 'real' and 'NORMALIZING it,' with one writing: 'A canon event for all us girlies.' 'The one time you wear something non sheer and maxi,' joked one commenter with crying, praying and heart emoji - earning a like from Brooks. Brooks waved off the mishap and sat cheerfully in the audience at Wimbledon that day, with her sister Sarah Jane right beside her. And it appears the mishap paid off, as on Wednesday she reveled her collaboration with U by Kotex, a brand known for making menstrual products for women. Before heading the the ESPYs she shared an Instagram post with the caption: '#UbyKotexPartner The last time I wore all white, I had a mishap and it made headlines. This time, I'm not taking any chances and brought backup. Thanks for the assist @ubykotex' Brooks had another wardrobe malfunction in April at the Fashion Los Angeles Awards, where her structured dress drifted forward at one point and exposed her left nipple. Her latest outing comes three months after confirmed she has once again split from Dancing With The Stars pro Gleb Savchenko, 41. Brooks and Gleb started dating while competing as a team on Dancing With The Stars last autumn, triggering allegations they were engaged in a 'showmance.' They briefly broke up late last year but rekindled their romance, until it emerged in early April that Brooks had decided to leave him. Brooks' sister Grace has accused Gleb of being unfaithful, which he staunchly denied, insisting he is 'not a cheater' or a 'f***boy,' via E! News. Gleb was previously married to Russian artist Elena Samodanova for 14 years until she filed for divorce near the end of 2020. Their acrimonious split played out in the headlines, with Elena accusing Gleb of repeated infidelity and Gleb denying her allegations. Meanwhile, Brooks was seen chatting with Tom Brady at Michael Rubin's star-studded Fourth Of July party in 2024, setting off an avalanche of dating rumors. Brooks separated from her husband Billy Haire in May 2024 after four years of marriage. Brooks first rose to fame by winning the Sports Illustrated Swim Search in 2019, and last year she was featured on the cover of the Swimsuit Issue. She and her sisters Mary, Grace and Sara are now all starring together on a reality show called Love Thy Nader, slated to bow on Hulu and Freeform this summer.

Untamed review – Eric Bana's national park thriller is as beautiful as it is totally predictable
Untamed is a blunt force thriller, set in Yosemite national park in California, starring Eric Bana as a macho special agent who prefers silence to talking and horses to motorised vehicles. It is perfectly serviceable though oddly retro – not just because it scoffs at petrol engines, but because it feels as if it could have been made in the 1990s. Even a crucial smartphone plotline doesn't come into it until very close to the end, and although park rangers have become a political hot potato in the US, national politics emphatically do not exist here. That makes Untamed an undemanding watch, but don't expect much depth. It's as easy on the eye as it is straightforward. Bana is Kyle Turner, technically not a park ranger, even though he's dressed like one, but an ISB Special Agent, which gives him extra-special cop powers. Devotees of detective dramas will be shocked to learn that Turner is brusque, rude and has a taste for bourbon that doesn't have any impact on his professional capacity whatsoever. He is haunted by a family tragedy. His personal relationships are poor. He is, of course, excellent at what he does. This makes a fairytale of both detective work and the great outdoors, which I can't say I mind too much. Turner is so at one with Yosemite that he can find strands of hair or individual beads in the vast swathes of wilderness, all 300,000 hectares of it of it. I can barely find my keys in the hallway, never mind a crucial clue partly buried in a vast national park, but that is why I don't ride to work on a horse. It begins with a pair of climbers on El Capitan summit, whose steady ascent is interrupted by the falling body of a young woman, who gets tangled up in their ropes. Was she chased by an animal, or is it more sinister than that? Naturally Turner goes above and beyond, scoffing at warnings of lightning to examine the dangling body. He takes note of the foliage in her hand and where it grows and notes the lack of animal tracks on the summit. He pays attention to the details, like Bear Grylls with a badge. He says things like, 'This is not LA. Things happen different out here,' and, 'You can't spell wilderness without wild.' That gives a decent idea of what you're in for. It is unapologetically meat and two veg, sincere and far-fetched. Initially, it looks to be a case-of-the-week setup, not dissimilar to Elsbeth or Poker Face, but reverse-engineered to have the humour sucked out of it. The body of the young woman turns out be a gateway into a wider conspiracy, a criminal underbelly lurking beneath the tourist-playground parts of the national park. There is a sense that it has ambitions to be True Detective-like, or at least, early True Detective, and there is a touch of rural noir to it too. Turner is haunted by his past, and trapped in the wilderness by his own demons. His young sidekick, Vasquez (a very good Lily Santiago), formerly an inner-city LA cop running from her own issues, thinks he has just moved into his cabin, because it is full of boxes. He has been there for years. The supporting cast is strong. Sam Neill is Turner's boss, friend and ally Captain Souter, trying to defend Turner from the PR-led bureaucracy of the park's superintendent, whose main goal is to keep tourist numbers up, which means keeping any sense of peril out of the headlines. Rosemarie DeWitt is Turner's ex-wife, who still receives phone calls from him in the middle of the night. Though Untamed is largely confined to trails and cabins, it occasionally busts the budget on a helicopter or an explosion. Still, as serviceable as it is, it leaves the impression of having once had the bones of a more elegant thriller, softened to become a more standard, more palatable prospect. It's twisty, but it doesn't take much to guess what those twists are, and where they will lead. Turner is the flawed hero upon whom everyone else must depend. The female characters are mostly troublesome, and there to be saved; if you find long, lingering shots of women's bodies on mortuary slabs gratuitous, this is not the show for you. This is US television in 2025, then: manly, gruff and outdoorsy. It opens with a sweeping shot of forests and mountains, before the American flag moves into the centre of the frame. There are bear attacks, gunfights and near-biblical levels of vengeance. It's not the smartest of thrillers, but those mountains sure are lovely to look at. Untamed is on Netflix now

I never expected Scottie Scheffler to give best press conference ever
'There are a lot of people that make it to what they thought was going to fulfil them in life, [but] you get to No1 in the world and they're like, 'What's the point?' I really do believe that, because what is the point? Why do I want to win this tournament so bad? It's something that I wrestle with on a daily basis.' This was one quote from what will perhaps go down as the most frank, raw and profound press conference, well, ever. It involved Scottie Scheffler and if you are surprised as to the identity of the man who spoke the above words, join the club. Press conferences are typically forums that incubate banalities (I know: I've been to a few) but this was a brilliant golfer and reflective man pondering some of the deeper questions confronting someone who has spent most of his life — this brief illumination of existence that is all any of us gets — hitting a silly little ball into a plastic cup. 'It's like showing up at the Masters every year — why do I want to win this golf tournament so badly? Why do I want to win the Open Championship so badly? I don't know, because if I win it's going to be awesome for two minutes. I'm not out here to inspire someone to be the best player in the world, because what's the point? This is not a fulfilling life. It's fulfilling from the sense of accomplishment but it's not fulfilling from a sense of the deepest places of your heart.' Forgive the length of the quotes I'm sharing but this is the only way to get a sense of the scale of his foray into existential candour. Scheffler went on: 'I literally worked my entire life to become good at golf and have an opportunity to win that tournament,' he said. 'Then it's like, 'OK, what are we going to get for dinner?' Life goes on. It only lasts a few minutes, that kind of euphoric feeling.' It wasn't so much the words that struck home as his facial expression, conveying the aching sense of anticlimax. I perhaps should say that Scheffler is not alone in having opened up in this way. I remember talking to Victoria Pendleton (albeit in a one-on-one interview, rather than a press conference) and she spoke hauntingly about the 'worst thing' to have happened to her. She had worked for years, nurturing the dream of climbing to the top of the Olympic podium — and then won gold. 'You have all this build-up for one day, and when it's over, it's, 'Oh, is that it?' ' she said. 'People think it's hard when you lose. But it's almost easier to come second because you have something to aim for when you finish. When you win, you suddenly feel lost.' Over the years, I've heard similar sentiments from Jonny Wilkinson, Billie Jean King, Ronnie O'Sullivan and Martina Navratilova. James Toseland, the motorsports legend, wept in the privacy of his hotel room after winning the Superbike world title. Steve Peters, the psychiatrist, has compared it to a sense of bereavement. 'A number of people I've been in touch with following the Olympics, people who'd succeeded, said the same. They felt quite depressed, almost like a sense of loss.' You may be thinking: 'Get over yourselves, you're earning loads of money for doing something you enjoy.' And it's a fair point. But isn't there a kernel of wisdom contained in this testimony too? The dream we are often sold is that if we make a million, or buy our first Porsche, (or capture the Green Jacket), we will experience an epiphany, perhaps even lasting bliss. But what many people find at the end of the yellow brick road is a mirage, an apparition, a false promise. One thinks of Robert Louis Stevenson's words: 'To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.' If this sounds gloomy, I'm glad to say that this is where Scheffler shifted gears and talked about where true meaning is to be found. You see, he's a dad, a husband, a son; a man immersed in that intricate network of mutual support and love we call family. These are the people for whom one's triumphs are a blessing, who strangely take more joy from our successes, and us from theirs, than either of us are capable of taking for ourselves. And this is why whether we're playing golf or stacking shelves at Asda, as my dear mum used to do, those of us with the gift of a loving family have something more precious than diamonds or a million Green Jackets. As Scheffler put it (and my heart leapt at his words): 'I'm blessed to be able to come out here and play golf. But if my golf ever started affecting my home life or if it ever affected the relationship I have with my wife or with my son, you know, that's going to be the last day that I play out here for a living. I would much rather be a great father than I would be a great golfer.' Amen. Royal PortrushThursday-SundayTV Sky Sports, coverage starts 6.30am
