Hulk Hogan's widow hits back at 'misleading stories' after his daughter Brooke's shocking Scientology claim
Daily called Brooke's affirmation about the reason behind her husband's passing 'misleading stories' Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, died on July 24 from a cardiac arrest, according to a Florida medical examiner's office.
The 71-year-old had previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm, the report from the District Six Medical Examiner also said.
But in response to an Instagram post publicizing an article by radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge that reads 'Quick cremation without autopsy raises questions about Hulk Hogan's death', Hogan's daughter Brooke posted 'exactly'.
Bubba's allegations include that Hogan's body has already been cremated, somebody could have injected something into the wrestler's dialysis port while he slept to induce a heart attack and questions around why an autopsy wasn't carried out.
'There are heartbreakingly misleading media stories created by faceless AI accounts or by people not close enough to truly know what was happening. Please be patient and know this: he was deeply loved, well cared for, and surrounded by that love until his very last moment,' Daily said on Instagram.

Bubba, whose real name is Todd Clem, also references the fact that Hogan's wife Sky Daily has links to Scientology and pointed out that Hogan has an estate that he claims to be worth in the region of $40million to $50m.
Clem did not offer facts to substantiate his stunning claims, which stem from a report in the Tampa Bay Times from July 31 that says Hogan was 'doing therapy' when he collapsed at his home in Clearwater Beach on July 24.
The report says paramedics told staff at Morton Plant Hospital that Hogan had just returned home from surgery and was 'currently waiting to start dialysis'. Clem claims nobody knew the wrestling icon was due to begin dialysis.
In a bid to revive him, medics reportedly gave Hogan drugs that can treat excessive levels of potassium, a sign of kidney failure. These can lead to cardiac arrest.
Hogan was also given two milligrams of Narcan, the drug that can quickly reverse opioid overdoses. There is no indication that Hogan had overdosed.
However, The Tampa Bay Times also revealed the Pinellas County Medical Examiner did not perform an autopsy on Hogan because his death was not deemed to be suspicious.

Disney gives surprising update on prices
Disney lovers are still pouring into the company's US theme parks — despite massive ticket price hikes. The boom in visitors to Disney World in Orlando and Disneyland near LA was key to a big jump in profits. One-day admission has doubled over the past decade, adding more than $100 per person, according to theme park site Mickey Visit. In the three months ending in June, Disney reported $5.3 billion in income, more than double Wall Street's forecast of $2.3 billion. Much of that came from its U.S. parks, where operating income jumped 22 percent to $1.7 billion. Disney World was the standout performer bringing in record revenue with guest spending up, chief financial officer Hugh Johnston told investors on Wednesday's earnings call. 'Consumers generally these days are willing to pay for value,' Johnston told the Financial Times. 'Our consumer still sees, especially with the investments we've been making with parks and cruise ships, a tremendous amount of value.' Prices will rise again next year too with admission costing roughly $10 more for tickets advertised on Disney's site. The maximum price for a one-day ticket to Disney's Animal Kingdom rose from $169 in 2025 to $179 in 2026. Disney's Hollywood Studios currently costs up to $184 but will rise to $199 next year - the highest increase of any ticket so far. The highest prices could still be yet to come, Disney expert Gavin Doyle, of Mickey Visit, explained. This is because Disney has not released the ticket prices for November or December 2026 yet. These are usually the busiest months of the year and have the highest priced tickets. Doyle expects one-day Magic Kingdom tickets for November and December to hit as high as $205 for 2026. 'These higher prices reflect expected demand for the most crowded days at Disney World throughout the year which is typically aligned with school breaks and holidays,' Doyle said of the price increases. Elsewhere the picture looked less rosy for the company with declines in its traditional cable TV networks which fell 15 percent compared to the same time last year. Prices for one-day tickets to Disney World will increase by roughly $10 next year The decline was offset by boost to its streaming services such as Disney+ which added 1.8 million new subscribers in the quarter. Disney hiked the prices for its plan by 25 percent in October, just a year after the last hike. Disney is also preparing to launch its sports network ESPN in a streaming package later this month. The company announced on Tuesday that it would also be selling a ten percent stake in the network to the National Football League (NFL).

Somber Brad Pitt seen working on film set on the SAME DAY his mother Jane Etta died at age 84
Brad Pitt looked somber as he was seen on set of his latest project The Continuing Adventures Of Cliff Booth on Tuesday, August 5 in Gardena — the same day his mother Jane Etta Pitt reportedly passed away. The Oscar-winner's family confirmed Jane's death in a social media post shared Wednesday but a public obituary claimed that the Pitt matriarch actually died on August 5 at the age of 84. However, an exact time of death was not revealed in the obituary published by the Springfield News-Leader. It is unclear if Jane's sudden passing — which came just days before her 85th birthday — occurred before or after Brad's time on set on Tuesday.

John Oliver's savage two-word response to Jay Leno's criticism of late-night hosts being too political
Last Week Tonight host John Oliver had two words for former Tonight Show host Jay Leno criticizing his Strike Force Five buddies (Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel) for getting too political in their nightly monologues - 'hard pass.' The 75-year-old comedian had lamented to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation CEO David Trulio on July 22 that the current late-night hosts are too busy pushing their Democratic agenda to entertain a wider audience. 'I don't think anybody wants to hear a shoot for just half an audience? Why not try to get the whole? I like to bring people into the big picture,' Jay explained. 'I don't understand why you would alienate one particular group, you know, or just don't do it at all. I'm not saying you have to throw your support or whatever, but just do what's funny.' In response, the British 48-year-old scoffed to THR Magazine on Tuesday: 'I'm going to take a hard pass on taking comedic advice from Jay Leno.' 'Who thinks that way? Executives?' John continued. 'Comedy can't be for everyone. It's inherently subjective. So, yeah, when you do stand-up, some people try to play to a broader audience, which is completely legitimate. Others decide not to, which is equally legitimate.' Many comics still don't forgive Leno for refusing to retire from late-night after reluctantly handing over The Tonight Show to successor Conan O'Brien in 2009, which lasted seven months before NBC gave the gig right back to Leno. Oliver - who became an American citizen in 2019 - went on to defend his HBO Max satirical news show, which 'comes from a point of view, but most of those long stories we do are not party political.' 'They're about systemic issues. Our last few shows were about gang databases, AI slop, juvenile justice, med spas, air traffic control,' the investigative journalist listed. 'I'm not saying that these don't have a point of view in them. Of course they do. But I hope a lot of them actually reach across people's political persuasions. You want people to at least be able to agree on the problem, even if you disagree on what the solution to it is.' On July 21, John joined his former Daily Show boss Jon Stewart, Fallon, Meyers, Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen, and CNN's Anderson Cooper on The Late Show in order to show support for Colbert amid his shocking cancellation. 'As soon as the news broke, we were all checking in with Stephen,' Oliver recalled. Jay explained: 'I don't think anybody wants to hear a shoot for just half an audience? Why not try to get the whole? I like to bring people into the big picture' He continued: 'I don't understand why you would alienate one particular group, you know, or just don't do it at all. I'm not saying you have to throw your support or whatever, but just do what's funny' (Strike Force Five's Jimmy Fallon, John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel pictured in 2023) Oliver recalled: 'As soon as the news broke, we were all checking in with Stephen. He came up with the idea and asked us to come, and of course we're all going to do it. You want to be able to support him and his staff in a horrible, horrible time' 'He came up with the idea and asked us to come, and of course we're all going to do it. You want to be able to support him and his staff in a horrible, horrible time.' The Kamala Harris supporter called it 'incredibly sad for comedy' but noted: 'We are fortunate enough to be in a very different situation than network commercial TV, so those corporate pressures are not comparable, and we have no pressures from advertisers.'
