Reese Witherspoon celebrated her star-studded 50th birthday in Nashville at Lainey Wilson’s bar.

A source told People that Witherspoon was the “belle of the ball” on Saturday night.

Wilson’s bar, Bayou Keys, was closed for a private event March 21, according to the outlet, and Nicole Kidman, Isla Fisher and Mariska Hargitay were all in attendance.

“Reese was the belle of the ball. The room had so much love for her all night, and she seemed so happy to be surrounded by her family and friends,” the source said.

The source told People it was “an iconic party for an iconic woman.”

Witherspoon’s children — Deacon Phillippe, Ava Phillippe and Tennessee Toth — were all in attendance. Deacon shared a slideshow of images on Instagram, including moments from Witherspoon’s 50th birthday bash.

“Happy birthday 2 my mom, who happens to be the goat,” the 22-year-old captioned his post.

Deacon’s dad, Ryan Phillippe, commented on his post with a simple smiling emoji. The former couple married in 1999 and divorced in 2008.

Reese and Tennessee’s dad, Jim Toth, married on her ranch in Ojai, California, in 2011. In 2023, Witherspoon filed for divorce just days before their 12th wedding anniversary.

Iran could significantly increase U.S. casualties if its elite military and proxy forces shift to guerrilla-style hit-and-run attacks in the region, a leading military analyst has warned.

Michael Eisenstadt of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy spoke as the Pentagon moved elements of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division into the Middle East amid a new escalation in the conflict, according to reports.

“Iran has large infantry units in its military that are equivalent to the brigade combat team of the 82nd Airborne,” Eisenstadt, a former U.S. Army Reserve officer, told Fox News Digital.

“The 82nd Force is too small to cause significant harm to Iran, but it is large enough to be vulnerable to Iranian strikes, and this would enable Iran to significantly increase U.S. casualties,” he said.

Eisenstadt, who has worked as a U.S. government military analyst, claimed that, even if major conventional operations begin to wind down in the Middle East region, the danger may only evolve rather than disappear.

“We could see an end to major combat operations, with activity shifting to guerrilla-style hit-and-run attacks in the Gulf and other gray-zone activities by Iran,” he said.

“Think of the aftermath of the 1991 Gulf War with Iraq, in which we had to contain the Iraqis for a decade after a very successful war.”

Fox News chief national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin reported Wednesday that the U.S. has ordered the deployment of an additional 82nd Airborne forces to the region.

The contingent is expected to include Maj. Gen. Brandon R. Tegtmeier, the division commander, elements of his headquarters staff, and infantry battalions from the division’s Immediate Response Force. 

Officials also indicated that the total number of troops ultimately sent could still change.

Eisenstadt said this new deployment is intended to increase pressure on Tehran as the U.S. pushes for new ceasefire terms, set in place by President Donald Trump.

“This deployment is intended to create leverage over Iran and pressure it to accept U.S. terms for a ceasefire agreement. It would also create military options if Iran rejects those terms,” he said.

In that scenario, he said, the 82nd could potentially operate alongside Marine expeditionary units in operations to seize and hold terrain, including Kharg Island, located roughly 20 miles off Iran’s Gulf coast.

U.S. forces struck military targets there March 13, destroying more than 90 Iranian military sites while deliberately sparing key oil infrastructure, according to multiple reports.

“The brigade combat team of the 82nd could work with the 11th and 31st MEUs, or independently, to seize and hold terrain — such as Kharg Island,” Eisenstadt said.

“This would provide leverage over Iran by denying it the ability to export oil and helping end the war on terms favorable to the U.S.”

“There are risks involved though, because Iranian units on the mainland could bombard Kharg Island and inflict casualties on U.S. troops there also,” Eisenstadt said.

The latest military buildup comes as the conflict that began with Operation Epic Fury on Feb. 28, has also centered on the Strait of Hormuz, with Iran restricting access.

“The 82nd deployment is intended to increase psychological pressure on Iran and support efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz so it can once again be used by all countries,” Eisenstadt explained.

The 82nd Airborne is one of the U.S. military’s premier rapid-response units, trained to parachute into hostile or contested territory to secure key ground and airfields.

Portions of the division have also spent recent days at the Joint Readiness Training Center, sharpening infiltration, surveillance, combat and resupply skills, Axios reported.

“Iranian military officials have welcomed news of the dispatch of these units to the Gulf because it potentially creates options for them to impose costs on the U.S.,” Eisenstadt said.

NBC “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie wants to return to work and the network wants her back too, but it still remains a question of “when and how,” an insider tells Fox News Digital.

Guthrie has been off the air since early February following the disappearance of her mother Nancy Guthrie from her home in Tuscon, Arizona, in a tragic case that has captivated the nation but led to few answers.

“She wants to come back and everyone wants her to come back,” an NBC insider told Fox News Digital. “It’s just a question of when and how — whether, given what she is living through, she feels like she can do a show that requires cheeriness.”

“She is an amazing, faithful person with everyone’s support and I have every confidence she will figure out a way back,” they added.

SAVANNAH GUTHRIE SAYS FAMILY IN ‘AGONY’ IN FIRST INTERVIEW SINCE MOTHER NANCY’S DISAPPEARANCE

NBC News did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Guthrie remains on great terms with her colleagues, visiting them at 30 Rock earlier this month in an emotional reunion. The show has shared constant updates and on-air prayers for Guthrie, who has been a co-host of “Today” since 2012, and her mother’s plight.

“I have every intention of coming back. I don’t know how to come back, but I don’t know how not to. You’re my family and I would like to try,” Guthrie told colleagues during her visit, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

There has been industry speculation that Guthrie could return to “Today” sometime next month.

This week, Guthrie sat down with Hoda Kotb, who’s been filling in for her on “Today,” for her first interview since her mother’s disappearance.

“Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony, we are in agony,” a tearful Guthrie told Kotb in a preview of the interview that aired Wednesday.

“And to think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night,” she said. “And in the darkness, I imagine her terror. And it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought. And I will not hide my face. But she needs to come home now.”

“Today” will air the remainder of the interview in two parts on Thursday and Friday.

Nancy Guthrie is believed to have been taken against her will, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos. Her son-in-law dropped her off at home around 10 p.m. the night before she went missing. In the early morning hours, a masked man appeared on her doorstep.

At around 2:30 a.m., her pacemaker made its last sync with her Apple devices, indicating a potential timeframe for when she was taken out of the home. Her watch and iPhone were recovered inside.

The “Today” anchor has posted several videos to social media pleading for her mother’s return. She asked anyone with information to dial 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Guthrie, 54, first joined NBC News in 2007 as a legal analyst and correspondent, and she later served as chief White House correspondent.
