Wrestling star Hulk Hogan has died aged 71
FORMER PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER Hulk Hogan has died at the age of 71. The American, whose given name is Terry Bollea, was perhaps the most famous wrestler in the United States across several decades. He was the best-known performer as part of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) before he left the organisation in the mid-90s to focus on TV and film work. However he was tempted back into the ring by Ted Turner's rival operation, the WCW, and famously 'turned heel' for a successful career as a wrestling 'baddie', leading the New World Order (NWO) group in the mid-1990s. TMZ Sports was the first to report Hogan's death this afternoon, with Donald Trump Jr among the first to offer sympathies . Known for his towering physique, bandana and distinctive blond handlebar moustache, he died at his home in Florida, NBC News reported, citing his manager Chris Volo. Advertisement WWE also confirmed the news online: WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away. One of pop culture's most recognizable figures, Hogan helped WWE achieve global recognition in the 1980s. WWE extends its condolences to Hogan's family, friends, and fans.

Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Hogan maintained a presence across US cultural life in recent decades and he famously sued Gawker Media for publishing a video showing him having sex with his then-best friend's wife. The lawsuit awarded him $115 million and led to the clsure of the news outlet before it was revealed that Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel had funded Hogan's case as part of an effort to drive Gawker out of business. In 2015, Hogan apologised after tapes from 2007 were revealed as part of that lawsuit in which he was recorded using racist language. Hogan's outburst included use of the N-word and it caused him to be fired from WWE. 'Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation. It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it and I apologise for having done it,' he said at the time. Hogan was also a long-time supporter of Donald Trump and spoke at last year's Republican National Convention, intoducing Trump on stage.

Taxi driver jailed over possession of video containing child sex abuse material
A Wicklow man who has been jailed for 10 months for possession of a video containing child sex abuse material appeared to have carried out the offence in the hope he would be "rumbled", a court has heard. Keith Reilly (57), a taxi driver and married father of two from Upper Grattan Park, Kindlestown Lower, Greystones, Co Wicklow pleaded guilty to possession of the offending material contrary to Section 6 (1) of the Child Trafficking and Pornography Act 1998. A sitting of Wicklow Circuit Criminal Court on Thursday heard that gardai were alerted to the existence of a video in a Dropbox account in Reilly's name by the US-based National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children. Detective Garda Dara McEvoy gave evidence of seizing a mobile phone during a search of the defendant's home on July 2, 2021. Det Garda McEvoy said no child pornographic imagery was detected on the device but gardaí were "extremely concerned" about the content and tone of a conversation between Reilly and another individual about young children in an exchange on WhatsApp. He told counsel for the DPP, James Kelly BL, that files in a Dropbox account belonging to the defendant could not be opened but two videos containing 'Category 1' child sex abuse material were subsequently found in it with the assistance of authorities in the US. Evidence was heard that one video contained a recording of children engaged in sexual activity while the other depicted a naked boy masturbating. Det Garda McEvoy agreed with Mr Kelly that the WhatsApp conversation in itself constituted an offence under the legislation but the court heard that no prosecution had been entered in relation to it. The court heard that Reilly had no other previous convictions apart from some road traffic offences from 20 years ago. Cross-examined by defence counsel, Barry White SC, Det Garda McEvoy said he was aware that the accused had complained to gardaí in the past about being sexually abused as a child. Det Garda McEvoy said he understood that a file on the complaint had been forwarded to the DPP who had directed that there should be no prosecution. The Irish Mirror's Crime Writers Michael O'Toole and Paul Healy are writing a new weekly newsletter called Crime Ireland. Click here to sign up and get it delivered to your inbox every week Mr White observed that the defendant felt a proper Garda investigation had never occurred into the matter. The barrister said Reilly's offence seemed to be "an endeavour to bring the matter into the open." Judge John Martin acknowledged that the offence related to a small amount of material when some similar cases involved hundreds of videos. He also accepted that Reilly had cooperated with gardaí and entered an early guilty plea, while there was no evidence he had engaged in the offending behaviour over any prolonged period. However, Judge Martin said he was somewhat concerned that Reilly was the father of two teenage girls given the nature of the offence who had also shown no empathy or remorse. The judge said he disagreed with the view of both the defendant and his wife, that it was a victimless crime. "Young people were exploited for the sexual pleasure of others," the judge remarked. "Innocent children were exploited by someone making money out of them." Judge Martin said Reilly's claim that he was not motivated by any sexual desire but was calculated to bring himself "into the spotlight" was "a difficult pill to swallow." The judge said it seemed like the defendant hoped he would be "rumbled" which he found difficult to rationalise. He observed that Reilly had a difficult childhood which no child should have to endure "no more than the children in the video you were watching." The judge said he had been assessed at a low risk of offending although a psychologist believed such an assessment was likely to underestimate the risk due to the defendant's "limited disclosure." Sentencing Reilly to 14 months in prison, Judge Martin suspended the final four months on condition that he places himself under the supervision of the Probation Service and complies with any directions given to him for a period of 12 months after his release from prison. Another charge relating to possession of the other video was taken into consideration.

Sleepy Cotswolds village swarmed by TWENTY secret service agents as Kamala Harris attends Steve Jobs' daughter's wedding
LOCALS in a sleepy village were stunned when Secret Service agents swarmed a pub to whisk in Kamala Harris for billionaire heiress Eve Jobs's £100,000 pre-wedding party. Some 20 men in suits with earpieces manned Cotswolds boozer The Bull for five hours to ensure the former US Vice President was safe. 13 Kamala Harris was whisked into a Cotswolds pub by Secret Service agents for a pre-wedding bash Credit: Click News and Media 13 Friends and family gather at The Bull for Eve Jobs' wedding Credit: Chris Eades 13 Some 20 men guarded Cotswolds pub The Bull Credit: Click News and Media 13 Eve Jobs pictured at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2023 Credit: Getty They all stood with their hands together in the 'rapid response position' and came and left in a fleet of blacked-out Range Rovers and Mercedes vehicles. Punters at the pub in Charlbury, Oxfordshire - which has a population of just 3,521 - were flabbergasted when they saw the huge security detail. One told The Sun: 'I couldn't believe what I was seeing. 'There were men in black and blue suits, a guy in a leather jacket and more security outside doing frequent checks of the area. 'I was stood at the bar having a pint and there was a bald bloke sat on a stall on his own just drinking water all night. 'He was clearly part of the operation and sat quietly watching everyone around him with intent. 'It's been the talk of the village - it's the most exciting thing that's happened here for a very long time.' Democrat Harris, 60, who lost last year's US election to Donald Trump, stayed until the bash ended just before 11pm. Most read in Celebrity She has been a close friend of late Apple chief Steve Jobs's widow Laurene Powell Jobs, 61, for 20 years. Steve and Laurene's daughter Eve, 27, and her Brit husband-to-be Harry Charles, 26, hosted 48 guests at the £100,000 pub party - A source said: "Kamala has been a close friend of the family for many years now, and she was desperate to celebrate with them. "The security operation for the whole event is astonishing - let alone when there is a former US Vice President on the guest list. "Locals couldn't believe their eyes with all the Secret Service operatives around.' Ex-US vice presidents get Secret Service protection for six months after they leave office, however that can be extended if it is seen to be necessary. Harris left office on January 20. A sign outside The Bull said there was no on-site parking on Wednesday due to a "private event". American model Eve and show jumper Harry - who won gold for Team GB at last year's Paris Olympics - booked out the garden area of the 16th century pub, where guests enjoyed free-flowing booze. The group dined on dishes from The Bull's fancy menu - which includes a £98 sirloin steak, oysters, plus chalk stream trout with mussels and courgette. Guests were also treated to a ten-song set by Jack Savoretti, 41, who sang some of his hits including What More Can I Do? and Catapult. 13 Suited-up officials were manning the Cotswold pub for five hours Credit: Click News and Media 13 The bull Inn pub in Charlbury Credit: Click News and Media 13 Steve Jobs' youngest daughter Eve will marry her British showjumper boyfriend Harry Charles this weekend Credit: Instagram He finished with a cover of You Don't Have To Say You Love Me - made famous by Dusty Springfield's 1966 version. Jack performed much of the song in Italian - the language in which it was originally written. He told the party: "Everybody around the world knows this song. I think it's possibly the most romantic song ever written." Steve's sister Mona Simpson, 68, made an emotional speech at the bash. She spoke of how Steve, who died of pancreatic cancer aged 56 in 2011, would have been delighted to see Eve - the youngest of his four children - so happy. Mona said: "Harry, you are a lucky young man. And I know from Laurene that Eve is just as lucky. "Steve once asked me to look after Eve with special attention, because he already knew he would miss too much of her childhood. "He'd be so happy today to see her so happy and so full in herself. "You're both young and in love and you share a world and a passion." 13 Harris has been a close friend Steve Jobs's widow Laurene Powell (pictured) for 20 years 13 Steve Jobs with his children Eve, Reed, Erin, and wife Laurene Powell Mona also recounted memories of when Steve and Laurene were deciding to have another child before getting pregnant with Eve. The pair share three of his four children. Mona said: "I remember the conversations before Eve was born. "Laurene, inspired by her brothers and their brave wives - who all had large, happy families - hoped for a third child. "Steve felt cautious. 'With Reed and Erin (their other children), we already won the lottery. Aren't we tempting fate?', he argued. "But as in most things, Laurene's wisdom won out. "Tempted fate was, and a few years later, Steve had to admit, 'Yep, Laurene was absolutely right, I was completely wrong. I can't imagine our family without Eve. I can't imagine my life without Eve.'" Tunes blasted all night, with hits including Ed Sheeran's Castle on the Hill, Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club and American Pie by Don McLean on the playlist. 13 Eve started dating Olympic gold medallist Harry in 2022 Credit: Instagram 13 Eve has been sharing snaps of her pre-wedding celebrations ahead of the big day Credit: Instagram 13 Eve leaving the pub on Wednesday Credit: Chris Eades Eve and Harry are set to wed in a rumoured £50million extravaganza on Saturday - with stars and those from high society including Microsoft mogul Bill Gates's daughters, Phoebe and Jennifer, on the guest list.
