Iconic professional wrestler Hulk Hogan has died at the age of 71.

Medics were called to his Florida home early Thursday for what was called in as a "cardiac arrest."

In the 1980s, Hogan - known for his signature mustache and headscarf - was the driving force behind WWE's rise from a regional promotion around New York to an international brand.

Hogan kickstarted 'Hulkamania' after defeating the Iron Sheik for the World Heavyweight Championship in 1984.

He won at least six WWE championships and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.

Hogan was the main draw for the first WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixture for years, facing everyone from Andre The Giant and Randy Savage to The Rock and even company chairman Vince McMahon.

Hogan was also a celebrity outside the wrestling world, appearing in numerous movies and television shows, including a reality show about his life on VH1, “Hogan Knows Best”.

Hogan´s public persona transcended the ring, making him a household name. He appeared in numerous movies - including the third “Rocky” film in 1982, where he played wrestler Thunderlips, who took on Stallone's Rocky and starred in a short-lived TV series "Thunder in Paradise".

The hard-partying ways of the late, great Ozzy Osbourne are the stuff of legend. Most know about the bat and the Alamo, but here’s an under-the-radar gem from a 2020 GQ article. The Ozz-man was a member of the Church of England, and there was a day when a vicar paid a visit to his home. Osbourne had just whipped up a cake that he’d made with hashish, placed it in a tin, and told his wife not to let anyone eat it. That request was ignored, however, and it was served to the vicar while he was out at a pub for a bender. When Ozzy got home, he saw the vicar slumped over in a chair. He then dragged the vicar to his car, and drove him home…even though he didn’t have a driver’s license…and then walked home. As for the vicar, he told Ozzy he must have caught a bug that caused him to hallucinate for three days and miss church.

In a 2022 interview, Ozzy Osbourne told People he was prepared for his bat-biting moment (from a 1982 Des Moines show) to define his legacy—even in death. He joked, “When I leave this place, it’s going to be, ‘Ah, the man who bit the head off the bat’”.

He reflected on his resilience, saying his legacy would be about survival—continuing to perform even into his 70s despite serious health challenges.

Ozzy died Tuesday, aged 76, after battling Parkinson’s. His final appearance was at Black Sabbath’s farewell concert on July 5 in Birmingham, where he performed seated on a throne.

One of the most amazing moments in "Stranger Things 4" was when Eddie Munson cranked out Metallica's "Master of Puppets" in the Upside Down. Max's scene featuring "Running Up that Hill" by Kate Bush was pretty intense, too.

And now, we have another bad-ass musical moment, courtesy of the just-released Season 5 trailer, which is set to the Deep Purple classic, "Child in Time".

You don't have to know the song to get goosebumps from the video, but it helps. t's also cool seeing "Terminator" minx Linda Hamilton in action.

Season 5, the show's FINAL season, hits Netflix in three parts, but it's not TOO drawn out. Part 1 drops on Thanksgiving, Part 2 on Christmas, and then the final episode on New Year's Eve.

This year, July 16th is National Hot Dog Day! Hot dogs are one of the most iconic American foods. Seriously – no cookout or baseball game would be complete without a delicious hot dog served on a bun and covered in whatever you want - ketchup, mustard, onions, relish, or chili.

Hot dogs (which are also known as frankfurters, franks, wieners and dogs…if you like spicy, try red hots) have been around since the late 1800s. The National Hot Dog & Sausage Council estimates that Americans consume 2-billion hot dogs a year! Whether they’re grilled, boiled, broiled, pan-fried, rotisserie cooked, cooked on a stick over a campfire or any other way, hot dogs are a serious summertime staple.

During an appearance on the “Today” show’s third hour, 80s rock icon Rick Springfield was discussing his hit “Jessie’s Girl” when co-host Craig Melvin was caught yawning.

Springfield paused mid-sentence, stared at Melvin, and asked on-air, “Am I boring you?” which led to laughter from Melvin, Al Roker, and Jill Martin.

Melvin quickly recovered, saying it was just a “cough,” and Springfield joked, “It’s early—don’t worry about it. I’ll yawn too.”

The lighthearted moment kept the vibe fun, with Springfield’s wit earning praise—Roker called him a “top‑five favorite guest.”
