Towering professional wrestler Hulk Hogan, who survived as much drama out of the ring as in it — including a shocking leaked sex tape and uttering racist slurs — took his final breath on July 24. His death was ruled a heart attack, but loved ones claimed the 71-year-old WWE legend’s passing could have been avoided if a doctor hadn’t allegedly severed his phrenic nerve, which controls breathing, during a prior surgery. In October, wife No. 3 Sky Daily, 47, and son Nick Hogan, 35, reportedly hinted about a possible malpractice lawsuit. Born Terry Bollea, Hulk was estranged from daughter Brooke Hogan, 37. Still, the devastated beauty mourned: “When he left this Earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I know he’s at peace now ……

Hollywood legend Gene Hackman’s death went from mysterious to just plain heartbreaking. On Feb. 26, the decaying bodies of the Alzheimer’sstricken Oscar winner, 95, and his classical pianist wife, Betsy Arakawa, 65, were found inside their $4 million New Mexico home. Authorities later determined that she’d died first, on Feb. 12 — from a respiratory disease caused by the rodent-borne hantavirus — and he was left wandering the house confused and alone until his own passing around Feb. 18. The deceased French Connection star, who married Betsy in 1991, had no food in his stomach, but severe heart disease was determined as his cause of death. “I have the normal fear of passing away — you know, I guess we all think about that, especially when you get to be…

The only thing bat-biting rocker Ozzy Osbourne said he regretted during his wild life was cheating during his 43-year marriage to yakking talk show wife Sharon. The Prince of Darkness — who was open about his struggles with drugs and booze — noted shortly before dying of cardiac arrest on July 22: “People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I’m like, f**k no. If I’d been clean and sober, I wouldn’t be Ozzy. If I’d done normal, sensible things, I wouldn’t be Ozzy.” Weeks before his passing at age 76, the Parkinson’s disease–battling star reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for a farewell concert. Ozzy’s stage partners, including Terence “Geezer” Butler, Tony Iommi and Bill Ward, reportedly…

Tombstone tough guy Val Kilmer seemed to rebound from a throat cancer diagnosis in the mid-2010s, but his voice didn’t. During his final years, Val relied on loved ones and artificial intelligence to narrate his projects. “As human beings, the ability to communicate is the core of our existence,” the star noted. On April 1, his struggle to communicate ended when Val died of pneumonia in L.A. at age 65. Though he left behind a legacy of box office hits, including Top Gun and Batman Forever, early in his career he gained a reputation for being difficult. “I was a dumb actor. I complained quite a bit when I was younger,” Val later admitted. “I didn’t appreciate the business that afforded me the lifestyle that I very quickly enjoyed.”…

Musical genius Brian Wilson crafted upbeat, iconic tunes for the Beach Boys — but the tormented singer grappled with mental illness and addiction. “I took a lot of amphetamines and a lot of downers. The cocaine and marijuana and all the rest of the stuff I took really messed with my brain. I couldn’t tell reality from fantasy,” recalled Brian, who was responsible for hits such as Surfin’ U.S.A., California Girls and Good Vibrations. Sharing his thoughts in 2006 after being sober for 20 years, he revealed, “If there is one thing I could go back in my life and change, I wouldn’t have taken drugs.” Brian, who died at 82 of respiratory arrest on June 11, continued to struggle with depression and auditory hallucinations. In 2024, he was placed…

Rumors of suicide flew when fun-loving Food Network star Anne Burrell was found dead in the shower of her Brooklyn home June 17. A medical examiner confirmed the whispered buzz, ruling the 55-year-old had downed a lethal mix of diphenhydramine, ethanol, cetirizine and amphetamine. “She could put on a good show,” says an insider. “But her closest friends knew she was consumed by personal demons.” Anne had hosted Worst Cooks in America for 27 seasons but hinted she was booted from season 28. A source insists the celebrity chef was battling a career crisis. In March, she fumed: “I can cook, yes. I can do TV. But also, what else? I’ve got more to do in my life, I feel like.” Anne began acting classes and performed an improv show…

Being typecast as “some airhead blonde” was Loni Anderson’s worst nightmare and the reason the natural brunette didn’t at first want to take her Emmy-nominated role on WKRP in Cincinnati. But when her character, Jennifer Marlowe, was rewritten as a beauty with brains, Loni signed on, dyed her hair platinum — and her career took off. “I love acting,” purred Loni, who died from cancer at a Beverly Hills hospital Aug. 3, two days shy of her 80th birthday. Loni also survived an ugly split in 1993 from hubby No. 3 — superstar Burt Reynolds — hurling charges of cheating, abuse and more before the late hunk ponied up a $2 million settlement and $15,000 monthly child support for their adopted son, Quinton, now 37. “I thank him every day…

Firebrand Charlie Kirk, 31, devoted his life to politics — but the conservative activist lost it while debating his beliefs. On Sept. 10, the Turning Point USA founder was murdered in cold blood as he answered a question about mass shootings committed by trans people during the first stop of his American Comeback speaking tour at a university in Orem, Utah. After a 33-hour manhunt, alleged long-range shooter Tyler Robinson, 22, was apprehended and charged with aggravated murder. The suspect is due to appear in court on Jan. 16. Kirk’s grieving widow, Erika, 37, has graciously said that she forgives the alleged assassin. “The answer to hate is not hate,” the mom of two declared at her husband’s memorial. “The answer we know from the gospel is love and always…

JANUARY Osmond Brothers singer WAYNE OSMOND, 73, was struck down by a fatal stroke Jan. 1 in Salt Lake City. On Jan. 3, Life After Beth writerdirector JEFF BAENA died by suicide at age 47 at his Los Angeles home. He’d secretly separated from his wife, actress Aubrey Plaza, months earlier. Folk legend PETER YARROW — who cowrote and sang hits like Puff, the Magic Dragon and performed with the trio Peter, Paul and Mary — died Jan. 7 in New York City at 86 after a battle with bladder cancer. Best known for his roles on Gunsmoke and Star Trek, REX HOLMAN died Jan. 9 at age 89. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Soul Man singer SAM MOORE, 89, suffered post-surgery complications that ended his life…

ICE SKATING EDITION: Dating to 3500 BC, the earliest ice skates were made of flat ox, cattle and horse bones. They had holes so they could be fastened to shoes. Skates made traveling in winter easier than trudging through snow and have been found throughout northern Europe and in China. More efficient wooden skates with a metal blade were introduced in the 1200s in the Netherlands, where canal skating was a way of life. Before losing his head in 1793, King Louis XVI popularized skating in France, transforming it from a means of transportation to a leisure activity. Ice skating became popular in the U.S. in the 1860s and 1870s. It was one of the few athletic activities deemed socially acceptable for women at that time.…

ACTRESS Elizabeth Hurley and superclose son Damian have been growing apart as she spends all her free time with boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus, and insiders say the beauty feels torn in two — forced to choose between her lover and her only child. “Liz keeps saying this is just a rough patch, that these are growing pains and they’ll get through it, but everyone can see how stressful this is for her,” notes an insider. Damian, 23, a model and actor, is drop-dead goodlooking like his stunning Austin Powers star mom, who became preggers with him during a brief 2001 affair with the late, tragic movie mogul Steve Bing. A big spender, Bing inherited a whopping $600 million, but was worth a mere $300,000 when he leaped to his death…

DOTING mom Vanessa Hudgens Hudgens is ready to ditch her acting career — but not everyone on the High School Musical alum’s team is thrilled about it, an insider tattles to GLOBE. Still a bankable star almost two decades after her Disney debut, Vanessa, 37 on Dec. 14, is worth an estimated $18 million. And the insider suggests she’s happy to rely on that massive nest egg as she turns her attention to rearing her two young kids with husband and former ballplayer Cole Tucker, who caught a lot of cash in his major league career as well! “While she’s not retiring, exactly, she’s determined not to have her children be raised by hired help,” says the insider. “It’s stressful for her people, who helped her build a career and…

SONGBIRD Beyoncé has fans divided over her bold new look and booty as insiders tattle the Beautiful Liar songbird splurged a huge wad on nip/tucks to keep pace with Tinseltown’s glamour gals and also keep her marriage white hot! The 44-year-old R&B beauty had onlookers buzzing at a recent Las Vegas event where the Crazy in Love babe sported bigger boobs and a plumper butt. The sexy changes triggered speculation the mom of three, married to music mogul Jay-Z since 2008, had turned back the clock via her checkbook and a surgeon’s scalpel. “Everyone around Beyoncé is whispering that she’s gotten a new boob job and a buttboosting treatment because her curves are suddenly very extreme,” an insider says. “It can’t be a weight gain because her waist is still…

Let’s hope MILEY CYRUS’ second try at marriage lasts longer than her seven-month union with actorLIAM HEMSWORTH. The songbird, 33, is now engaged to 27-year-old drummer boy MAXX MORANDO, her main squeeze for four years. Maxx is the stickman for the band Liily. Miley notes the difference in their fame, saying: “We got put on a blind date — well, it was blind for me and not really for him.” Stranger Things’ MILLIE BOBBY BROWN has a bizarre location for a home for a Hollywood starlet — Georgia. The 21-year-old says her parents moved to the South when she started the series at age 12 in 2016 because they didn’t want her growing up in Tinseltown. She says, “I love what I do, but it doesn’t define me.” So when…

MEXICAN migrant Gerardo Solorio-Alvarado — who previously served 17 years in a U.S. prison — is in a jam in Georgia after lawmen uncovered his fruitful scheme of smuggling 1,585 pounds of meth in blackberry shipments, authorities say. Solorio-Alvarado, 44, was indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly conspiring to move tens of millions of dollars in methamphetamine in the Atlanta area by hiding the illegal stimulant in produce packages. Federal agents, who staked out a cold storage warehouse in Fulton County, say the driver of a box truck that left the facility later abandoned the vehicle at a gas station and was picked up by the suspect. According to the feds, a K-9 alerted officers to the odor of narcotics in the truck, leading to the discovery and…

TV hunk Richard Chamberlain spent most of his life trying to keep a career-killing secret under wraps — the drop-dead gorgeous hunk was gay! While the Dr. Kildare star who later became the “King of Miniseries” raised eyebrows by never marrying or fathering kids, it wasn’t until his 2003 memoir, Shattered Love, that he finally came out of the closet at age 69. “When I grew up, being gay, being a sissy or anything like that was verboten,” he said. “I disliked myself intensely … and became ‘Perfect Richard, All-American Boy’ as a place to hide.” Behind closed doors, he maintained a 33-year relationship with fellow actor Martin Rabbett that ended in 2010. Still, they stayed close, and Martin was living with 90-year-old Richard when he died of stroke complications…

HANDSOME leading man Robert Redford appeared to live a charmed life. But the Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid actor’s 89 years were riddled with personal tragedy — including being predeceased by two sons. Redford, who passed away in Utah on Sept. 16, lost firstborn Scott to sudden infant death syndrome in 1959 when the boy was just 10 weeks old. Six decades later, he relived the pain of burying a child when his look-alike, James, succumbed to bile-duct cancer at 58 in 2020 after undergoing two liver transplants. “People think it’s been easy for me. That’s hard to live with. It’s so untrue,” the actor said. “There have been so many hits on our family that no one knows about.” The Oscar winner is survived by wife Sibylle Szaggars,…

During his final days, Brandon Blackstock — former talent manager of songbird Kelly Clarkson, his second wife — found strength in faith. “He always loved the Lord, but six months ago he sought the Lord,” his daughter from his first marriage, Savannah Blackstock Lee, 23, wrote on Instagram shortly after his Aug. 7 death. “He was hungry for the word.” The 48-year-old, who remained close to stepmom Reba McEntire after she divorced his dad in 2015, was in hospice care at the time of his death from melanoma. Brandon had been diagnosed with the skin cancer in 2022 — the same year his messy divorce from Clarkson and bitter fight over money and custody of kids River, 11, and Remy, 9, was finalized.…

BROADWAY veteran Tony Roberts took pal Woody Allen’s secrets to the grave when the loyal 85-year-old died of lung cancer complications at his Manhattan home on Feb. 7 — after refusing to spill about his famed friend’s sex scandal in his memoir. The Tony-nominated actor, who also appeared in six of Woody’s movies, said he was forced to self-publish his life story — Do You Know Me? — in 2015 because book-selling bigwigs were only interested if he blabbed about sordid child molestation allegations against the filmmaker. In 1992, Woody’s ex Mia Farrow, 80, famously accused him of inappropriate acts with their adopted daughter Dylan Farrow. Woody denied the accusations, suggesting they were Mia’s jealousy-driven revenge for his affair with Soon-Yi Previn, another of Mia’s adopted daughters, who was legal…

In her final days, actress Pamela Bach-Hasselhoff was haunted by a 2003 motorcycle crash while riding with then husband David Hasselhoff. The Baywatch hunk, now 73, suffered back and rib injuries after losing control of his Harley-Davidson while initial reports suggested Pamela was only treated for a fractured ankle and wrist. But a friend recently claimed that the Sirens beauty’s neck and back were broken in the accident. That would explain the debilitating arthritis and mobility issues Pamela had to battle until March 5, when the suffering came to a tragic end as the beautiful 62-year-old took her own life. She was discovered with a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside her L.A. home by daughter Hayley, 33. The powerful sedative-tranquilizer benzodiazepine clonazepam was also in her system. “The pain is unbearable,”…

NIP/TUCK superfan Kris Jenner jokes her nose is “probably the only” part of her body that’s real! On a recent episode of The Kardashians, the momager, 70, and daughter Kim Kardashian joked about all the procedures they’ve had. The Skims founder, 45, kicked off the roast session by telling her mom her hair looked like a wig. “Do you have your extensions on?” Kris fired back. “Do you have fake lashes on?” Kim retorted. The mom of six then questioned whether her daughter’s teeth were real. “Never had a veneer, baby!” Kim replied, before insinuating her mom had some dental intervention. The playful repartee comes after Kris had a second facelift ahead of her 70th birthday. “Just because you get older, it doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself,”…

SIBLING rivalry has reared its ugly noggin in the famous Beckham clan as son Cruz made a splash launching his music career — cheered on by fashion designer mom Victoria and soccer icon dad David — while insiders say his estranged older brother Brooklyn watched with bitterness from 6,000 miles away hoping he falls flat on his puss! The 20-year-old Cruz performed with his band The Breakers for former Spice Girl Victoria, 51, who broke down with tears of joy, his galpal Jackie Apostel, 30, and family and friends. Victoria later posted: “Wow!!! You look so happy Cruz and we couldn’t be prouder we love you.” And 50-year-old David, who also shares daughter Harper, 14, and middle son Romeo, 23, with his wife, admitted he felt “tears of joy and…

STILL-GRIEVING Sandra Bullock continues to rely on a circle of friends for support after losing her longtime partner Bryan Randall, sources tell GLOBE. Behind the scenes, Hollywood pals Jennifer Aniston, her Speed costar Keanu Reeves and Practical Magic sister Nicole Kidman have stood by Sandra, 61, since Bryan passed in August 2023, according to insiders. “Sandra has close friends that she’s known for decades who have all stepped up for her in different ways,” confides a pal. “She constantly talks about how blessed she is in the friend department. She’s a homebody, but she will visit friends although most of the time she’d rather people come to her and everyone is very accommodating. “Not that she has a ton of downtime. Her son, Louis, is 15 now so she’s constantly…

NEEDY Daniel Craig is shaken and stirred over the impending Hollywood comeback of wife Rachel Weisz in the Mummy franchise because the longtime James Bond star suffers from terrible separation anxiety when she’s not around, according to sources who predict the pair’s time apart may put their 14-year marriage to the test. Rachel, 55, and castmate Brendan Fraser, 57, have reportedly signed on for the fourth installment of the beloved monster series that debuted in 1999. “Thirty years into being a movie star, Rachel is still very picky when it comes to studio movies and blockbusters,” an insider confides. “She has turned down some pretty huge movies over the years. It’s a big deal, and a big change for her and Daniel.” The Favourite actress and Craig, 57, got hitched…

HYPNOTIST Jim Curtis is mesmerized by galpal Jennifer Aniston. But insiders say he wishes she’d cool it with the plastic surgery obsession. For the hunky 50-year-old Svengali, beauty comes from within, and he doesn’t think the 56-year-old Friends icon needs to get any more work done and is beautiful just the way she is. “Total self-acceptance and authenticity are part of Jim’s belief system,” says a source, “and surgery doesn’t exactly align with that. “Of course, that’s impacting Jen. She’s never going to stop wanting to look her best. It’s unlikely she’ll stop getting injectables completely, although having a partner that compliments her on her natural beauty all the time certainly helps her feel as though she doesn’t need them as much.” But getting no work done whatsoever isn’t an…

A GELESS actor Paul Rudd is sinking his fangs into the meaty meta-reboot Anaconda — with he and funnyman Jack Black playing a pair of buddies who slither off to the Amazon to film their version of the samenamed 1997 flick. Rudd, 56, is emphatic that the horror comedy is not a remake and explains, “It’s a totally unique thing, and it is funny.” Here are 10 things you don’t know about the Ant-Man hero. 1 He was born in New Jersey to British parents. 2 He’s distantly related to dead TV news legend Barbara Walters. 3 At age 10, his family 3 moved to Overland Park, Kan., and he remains a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. 4 Growing up, his favorite comics were from the U.K.’s The Beano…

THE movie Conclave was the talk of Hollywood after its October 2024 release — and just six months later, the world would witness real-life cardinals gather at the Vatican to elect a replacement for the just deceased Pope Francis. Head of the worldwide Catholic Church since 2013, the 88-year-old pontiff was felled by a stroke, followed by a coma and heart failure on April 21. Among the issues he spoke about during his tenure were climate change and the mistreatment of migrants. But Francis seemingly didn’t take any grudges to the grave. “To forgive is a great act of humanity,” he said in his final formal interview, noting, “We have to distinguish: It is one thing to forgive, another thing to forget. One cannot forget.”…

Former ’60s and ’70s teen heartthrob Bobby Sherman once kept an explosive secret from his adoring female fans — during a 1972 press conference, the Little Woman and Easy Come, Easy Go singer dropped the bombshell that he’d quietly tied the knot with junior college student Patti Carnel more than a year earlier — and she’d just given birth to their first child, Christopher, now 52. His excuse for not being completely open and honest? The clean-cut, blue-eyed idol, who died of cancer at age 81 at his Los Angeles home on June 24, said his wife was prone to miscarriage and they “decided the public pressure would be too much if the marriage was brought out.” Patti reportedly spoke up about receiving angry letters from Bobby’s rabid admirers after…

Former teen “sex slave” Virginia Giuffre was key in taking down royal black sheep Prince Andrew. Sadly, she wasn’t alive to witness him stripped of his titles and booted from the palatial Royal Lodge following revelations about his disgraceful years partying with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Virginia, who died April 25 at age 41, reportedly by suicide, had accused the now ex-royal of sexually assaulting her when she was 17 and he was 41. Her death came roughly three years after Andrew, despite denying her charges, reportedly paid Virginia an estimated $16 million to quash her lawsuit against him. In her posthumous memoir, she described the first of three alleged sexual encounters with “Randy Andy.” “He seemed in a rush to have intercourse. Afterward, he said thank you in…

Everybody didn’t know George Wendt’s name — but they sure knew his beerloving Cheers character, Norm Peterson! Whether he was in the stands at a Chicago White Sox game or dining with pals at a New York restaurant, fans would inevitably yell to him, “Norm!” George would say “It’s a good life” being recognized as the sitcom barfly he played for 11 seasons. “People don’t know me, but they like me,” he said. Those lucky enough to become acquainted with the actor thought he was great, too — as evidenced by the outpouring of tributes from celebrities when news broke of his passing at age 76 from cardiac arrest on May 20. “George Wendt was the sweetest, kindest man I ever met,” insisted former costar Rhea Perlman, 77. “It was…

Legendary ’50s and ’60s songbird Connie Francis died bitter over not being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a source reveals. “She never understood why she was left off the list year after year, when she was the first female to have three number one hits on the Billboard Top 100 Chart.” Connie — who died in a Pompano Beach, Fla., hospital at 87 on July 16, after suffering a pelvic fracture and pneumonia — was repeatedly passed over for stars like Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin and Carole King. But the Hall is no doubt “sorry now” — like her hit song says — that they didn’t honor the Pretty Little Baby singer during her life. “She thought it would almost be an insult at this point…

Boxing powerhouse George Foreman went to the grave a very rich man, but most of the 76-year-old’s estimated $300 million fortune came from hawking kitchen appliances — not from knocking blocks off in the ring! Three decades before his March 21 death in a Houston hospital, the Olympic gold medalist inked a pact to slap his name on a portable indoor grill for 40 percent of its profits. He’d later sell the rights to use his famous moniker on the cooking contraption forever — for a whopping $137.5 million in cash and stock. In all, the George Foreman grill banked the slugger “much more” than $200 million, he said. “There were months I was being paid $8 million per month,” marveled the Knockout Entrepreneur author. Incredibly, the most George ever…

The final days of TV’s Duck Commander, reality star Phil Robertson, were agonizing and anything but happy, happy, happy. In December, son Jase noted the Louisiana-based outdoorsman and hunting company founder had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and a blood disorder that was “causing problems with his entire body.” “He’s just not doing well,” the 56-year-old said of his dad. “He’s really struggling.” A little more than five months later, former college quarterback Phil, 79, passed away on May 25 — a week to the day before his family’s new show, Duck Dynasty: The Revival, premiered. “Phil had such a strong faith,” marveled son Willie, 53. “He told us before, ‘Do not cry at my funeral. I know where I’m going.’ What a life he lived.”…

TENNESSEE teen Dixie Bullied Dixie Remp got bullied and mocked so badly for her first name — linked to the Confederacy, slavery and the Civil War — she changed it! The 16-year-old ditched Dixie, now goes by the name Skye and is thrilled, noting that her fellow high school students had picked on her unmercifully for her moniker. “They call me things like ‘Dixie Dust,’ or ‘Dixie Normous,’” she says. “They just give it all sorts of crude meanings, and they’ll call me that in the hallway.” Her 35-year-old mom, Danielle, says her daughter’s dad chose the Old South name, but she always preferred Skye and had no objections when the teen told her about the taunting and asked about making the change. “She gets made fun of for it,”…

MIKE MYERS has movie moguls tearing out their hair because he’s yet to commit to another installment of his popular Austin Powers series — despite tens of millions being on the table, sources say. “Hollywood needs a new Austin Powers movie more than ever — and so do the numerous financial participants who have an interest in the franchise,” an insider shares. The source points out that moneybags Myers, 62, still rakes in gobs of cash from royalties, merchandise and streaming rights for the first three flicks — 1997’s International Man of Mystery, 1999’s The Spy Who Shagged Me and 2002’s Goldmember. “People still quote these movies and relive their favorite scenes,” the insider explains. “It’s been almost 25 years since the last Austin Powers, and Mike has already made…

DRUG-dealing hotshot Tony Montana goes out in a blaze of glory — taunting a team of Colombian hitmen to “Say hello to my little friend” in a nowclassic scene from Brian De Palma’s 1983 Scarface, detailing the rise and fall of a Miami-based Cuban cocaine dealer. Al Pacino, who played temperamental Tony, says the violent f-bomb–fueled flick was all about “bombast.” But audiences still love it!…
