Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan passed away at his home in Clearwater, Florida, after suffering cardiac arrest at the age of 71.

Hogan paved the way for many of today's WWE stars to grow beyond the wrestling franchise. Who is Hulk Hogan? Hulk Hogan was born Terry Gene Bollea on the 11 August 1953 in Augusta, Georgia. He started his professional wrestling career in 1977 and signed a contract with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 1983. Hogan soon took the WWF by storm, becoming the first wrestler to win consecutive Royal Rumble matches. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of fame in 2005.

In 2005, his reality TV show, Hogan Knows Best, aired on VH1. Wrestler Hulk Hogan appears on MTV's Total Request Live at MTV's Time Square Studios on 15 March 2006 in New York. Picture: Getty Images via AFP Hogan always wore a bandana on his head and proudly showed off his horseshoe/handlebar moustache. For much of the 80s, Hogan was the face of the WWF, and he paved the way for many modern wrestlers to follow suit. Five of the most iconic moments in Hulk Hogan's career Hulk Hogan acts in Rocky III (1982) One of Hogan's biggest Hollywood roles came in Rocky III, where he played a character named 'Thunderlips'. This was undoubtedly Hogan's biggest film role and helped him seal his professional contract at the WWF. Hogan signs a professional contract with WWF (1983) Shortly after his cameo in Rocky III, the WWF offered him a professional contract. Hogan was lured to the WWF by Vince McMahon, who saw him as the perfect face of the wrestling federation. Hulk Hogan body slams Andre the Giant to win Wrestlemania (1988) One of the most iconic matches in Hogan's career was against Andre the Giant. At the time, Hogan had been the reigning WWE champ for 1 474 days. Andre the Giant was the favourite to win the match but Hogan prevailed by body slamming his big opponent. This move won the match for Hulk Hogan, but caused a lifetime injury to his back. Hogan inducted into WWE Hall of Fame by Sylvester Stallone (2005) In 2005, Hulk Hogan finally got inducted into WWE Hall of Fame at the Universal Amphitheatre. The Rock vs. Hollywood Hogan (2002) One of the biggest modern matches for the rebranded Hollywood Hulk Hogan was when he wrestled against Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson in the WWE. Although he did not win this match, it was one of the biggest matches to take place at the Toronto Skydome. This was the first match between the two opponents, drawing a lot of attention from fans, although it was not a title match.

Miley Cyrus struts 'Walk of Fame' in new music video

File Photo by Chris Chew/UPI | License Photo July 17 (UPI) -- Miley Cyrus has released a music video for her song "Walk of Fame," which features the Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard. The music video shows Cyrus strutting along the iconic Hollywood Walk of Fame along in black boots and a short sliver dress. The video comes on the heels of news that Cyrus will be memorialized with her own star in an upcoming ceremony. The singer and actress recalled earlier this month how the Walk of Fame was a part of her life since childhood. "When I first came to LA from Nashville as a little girl, my family would stay at a hotel on Hollywood Blvd. I would go on late night walks with my dad when no one would recognize him," she said on Instagram earlier this month, referring to music star Billy Ray Cyrus. "Walk of Fame" appears on her album Something Beautiful, which dropped in May.

Miley Cyrus won't tour 'Something Beautiful,' cites 'mental wellness'

1 of 4 | Miley Cyrus won't tour her album "Something Beautiful" to prioritize her "mental wellness," she said. File Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo July 15 (UPI) -- Miley Cyrus is opening up about why she isn't touring her recently released album, Something Beautiful. The singer and former Hannah Montana actress discussed her decision on Good Morning America Tuesday. "I do have the physical ability and I have the opportunities to tour," Cyrus said. "I wish I had the desire, but I don't. I also don't think that there is actually an infrastructure that supports artists." "It's really hard to maintain sobriety when you're on the road, which is a really important kind of pillar of stability in my life," she continued, adding that "it's really hard to keep mental wellness on tour." Something Beautiful arrived in May, two years after Cyrus' album Endless Summer Vacation, which arrived in 2023. Her accompanying musical film and visual album dropped June 12. Cyrus called the project "fabulous" and "super joyful." "I'm in ultimate kind of fulfillment with this project, the music itself, the film -- I'm just really proud of the outcome," she said.

Selena Gomez's Early-Career Hit Earns Its First New Certification In A Decade

Selena Gomez & the Scene's 'Who Says' earns a new RIAA certification, reaching quadruple platinum ... More status with four million units moved in the U.S., a decade since its last award. UNIVERSAL CITY, CA - AUGUST 07: Singer/actress Selena Gomez arrives at the 2011 Teen Choice Awards held at the Gibson Amphitheatre on August 7, 2011 in Universal City, California. (Photo by) When Selena Gomez first launched her music career, she decided to go a different route than many other Disney stars. Instead of simply positioning herself as a solo singer, she fronted a group known as Selena Gomez & the Scene. That pop outfit only existed for a handful of years and hasn't released music in well over a decade, but during the time the musicians were together, they scored some big hits. Now, one of the group's most popular tracks has earned its first new Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certification in well over a decade. "Who Says" Hits Quadruple Platinum Status "Who Says" has been named a quadruple platinum single by the RIAA, which means it has shifted four million equivalent units in the United States alone. When the track was first certified, those numbers only included actual sales, but in the past several years, streaming activity has been added to the RIAA's methodology. That's how many artists continue to rack up wins these days. "Who Says" Last Earned a New Platinum Plaque a Decade Ago "Who Says" was first certified gold, the lowest status, in May 2011. A little more than a month later, it went platinum. Two years after that, it advanced to double and then triple platinum at the same time. "Who Says" had not earned a new certification since June 2013. Over more than a decade, the song racked up another million equivalent units. One of Selena Gomez & the Scene's Biggest Singles "Who Says" is now tied as Selena Gomez & the Scene's second-highest-certified song in America as it advances to quadruple platinum. At the four-times platinum level, it ties with "Naturally," which reached that position in July 2014. Only one tune from the band, "Love You Like a Love Song," has risen higher. That cut was pushed to six-times platinum in July 2024. The Band's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hit "Who Says" was released as the first single taken from Selena Gomez & the Scene's third and final album, When the Sun Goes Down. That project brought the group to a new high on the Billboard 200, where it peaked at No. 3. "Who Says" still stands as the band's loftiest placement on the Hot 100, as it topped out at No. 21.

Listen: Miley Cyrus releases new album, 'Easy Lover' music video

1 of 5 | Miley Cyrus released a new album and music video on Friday. File Photo by Jim Ruymen/UPI | License Photo May 30 (UPI) -- Miley Cyrus is back with new music. The singer and former Hannah Montana star released the album Something Beautiful and a music video for "Easy Lover" on Friday. Something Beautiful is Cyrus' first album since Endless Summer Vacation dropped in 2023. It features 13 tracks, including collaborations with Brittany Howard and Naomi Campbell. "Easy Lover" is the sixth song on the album. The music video shows Cyrus singing in her dressing room, getting ready for an apparent production. She ultimately winds up on a stage. "No I just can't give you up, but you're not an easy lover," she sings. The music artist, 32, shared a photo carousel on Instagram Thursday to commemorate the album release. The first image shows the pop star wearing cheetah print pants and a black jacket. "Celebrating the release of Something Beautiful the perfect way," she captioned the post. "Tonight was heaven, surrounded by the ones I love, adorning our ears with beautiful things as we count down to the moment I get to fill yours with this album I adore. Love to everyone who showed their support along this journey." The final two images in the carousel show Cyrus apparently getting an ear piercing. Cyrus is releasing a musical film and visual album to accompany Something Beautiful, which plays in theaters June 12.
