She told People magazine: 'He is so incredible. Honestly, best person I've ever met, and I'm so grateful ...
'Everyone deserves a Pete!'

Adam Sandler 'couldn't be happier' with Happy Gilmore 2 reaction
Adam Sandler "couldn't be happier" with the response to Happy Gilmore 2. The 58-year-old actor has reprised the role of Happy to star in the long-awaited comedy sequel, and Adam has been thrilled by the public's reaction to the new movie. The actor - who has enjoyed huge success with Tim Herlihy, his writing partner - told The Hollywood Reporter: "We couldn't be happier. It's something that I can't describe. "Just walking down the street, hearing people talk about it even before it came out — we were like, something fun is going on here. We went from, this was nothing we ever thought about, to having one of the best times of our careers together, feeling the fun of it all." Julie Bowen reprised the role of Virginia Venit for the new movie. However, the character is killed off early in the film. Asked if it was a difficult decision to move on from the character, Adam replied: "We love Julie. She's just a great vibe and a great person. We love working with her, and we did the first one and Hubie Halloween. "We just knew we needed Happy to have to overcome something in this story. There's nothing more painful than losing someone you love. Just wanted to show how dedicated Happy was to Julie's character, and he would never be able to move on from it and the love he had for her. We just thought that was something to have going with the new story of where Happy is at his age. "We're older now, so we've seen people go through stuff, and when you get older, this shit can happen — not in the same way it happens in our movie, but you lose people. Just dealing with it is difficult, and especially when you feel like you might have been a part of it, it's hard to shake that stuff. "So we just thought it was interesting for Happy to have to think about that and get back in the game." Julie recently admitted that she "started laughing" when she learned that her character dies in Happy Gilmore 2. The 55-year-old actress - who appeared in the original Happy Gilmore movie in 1996 - told People: "When I found out that I was killed on page 12, I started laughing. "I was on vacation with my family, and I had no wifi. I could barely read this thing. I only had my phone, and I was like, 'Am I seeing this right'? Trying to blow it up. "And I was like, 'Oh, yeah, I'm dead. And he kills me.' Then I just started laughing. I just started laughing and laughing, and Adam [Sandler] was trying to get through to me. I was on island with no wifi and barely any cell, and we finally connected. "I go, 'I don't care. It's great. Happy can't be happy.'"

Lindsay Lohan helps Jamie Lee Curtis reconsider mother comments
Jamie Lee Curtis says Lindsay Lohan has helped her reconsider whether her mother would be proud of her role in Everything Everywhere All at Once. While Jamie, 66, won an Oscar for the film, she previously admitted her late mom Janet Leight, who died in 2004 at the age of 77, wouldn't have approved because of how dowdy she looks in the film but Freakier Friday co-star Lohan has given her a different perspective. She told PEOPLE: '"It's funny because Lindsay - you can say things and you think them and then you read them. And Lindsay said to me one day, 'Well, how do you know what she would've thought?' And I'm like, 'Well, I know my mom. I think I know,' but she's right. My mom's dead. And I don't know, maybe she would've loved Everything Everywhere. I don't think so. "The reason why I didn't think she would love it is because in her generation, as I was trying to say, what you looked like was your currency. [Leigh] was a great beauty. I've never been a great beauty. I've been cute. I was cute. Not beautiful. My mother was legendarily beautiful. And so because of that, I thought she would have a problem with the way I looked." In the film, Curtis plays an IRS agent who audits Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan's laundromat business. Her character wears glasses and unfashionable clothes, with Curtis also donning an unflattering wig. And, while Jamie doesn't believe her mother would have liked her appearance in the film, she things she would definitely approve of Freakier Friday. She said: "Maybe she would've loved it. Maybe she would've appreciated the art of it. She would have loved this [Freakier Friday]. This would be, she loved this. She loved True Lies. She loved it. '[Leigh] always believed that I was a comedian because I was an obnoxious teen. And you know, I was funny and a smart aleck, and I think she always wanted me to be very true to that. That's hard to do when you don't have any confidence in what you're doing. And this has all grown out of many years and a little bit of analysis."

Brooke Hogan 'didn't want to be in Hulk Hogan's will'
Brooke Hogan asked to be removed from her father's will in 2023. Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan died from cardiac arrest on July 24, aged 71, and Brooke, 37, reportedly made the will request two years ago because she "didn't want to get caught up in a financial battle when he passed", according to TMZ. Brooke is said to have wanted to protect her father from people she believed "were taking advantage of him" but after many years of disagreements, she contacted his financial manager and asked to be removed as a beneficiary. Brooke is reportedly set to receive a small sum from a life insurance trust and is planning to put the money towards her children's college funds. Meanwhile, following her father's death, Brooke took to social media to pay tribute and to reflect on their turbulent relationship. In a lengthy post on Instagram, Brooke explained: "When he left this earth, it felt like part of my spirit left with him. I felt it before the news even reached us. I know he's at peace now, out of pain, and in a place as beautiful as he imagined. He used to speak about this moment with such wonder and hope. Like meeting God was the greatest championship he'd ever have." Brooke also used her post to "clear a few things up" regarding their estrangement. The realty star wrote: "It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand. My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support. I begged him to rest, to take care of himself." Brooke ultimately took a step back from her dad in order to "protect (her) heart". However, she does not have any regrets about how she dealt with the situation. She said: "I know in my heart I did everything I could. He knew I would run through a burning building for him. And in many ways, along the path of life, I did. He knows how deeply, how hard and how purely I loved him. I am at peace knowing this."
