Hulk Hogan, Hall of Fame Wrestler and Actor, Dies at 71

Hulk Hogan, the wrestling icon and actor who became the most recognized star in the sport, has died. He was 71.

According to the Clearwater Police Department in Florida, Hogan died Thursday morning due to cardiac arrest. He was treated by a rescue crew before being taken to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, grew up in Florida. The WWE Hall of Fame wrestler, known for walking out to his theme song “Real American,” represented national patriotism within the wrestling world. He soared to fame in the 1980s after winning against the Iron Sheik and cementing “Hulkamania” momentum in one of the most culturally impactful matches of his career. That fight made him the World Wrestling Federation’s heavyweight winner.

He later lost the championship title competing against Andre the Giant in 1988. Hogan stepped away from the WWF (now known as WWE) in the 1990s after a steroid controversy. The ’90s also saw the wrestler further his acting pursuits. He had already played a part in 1982’s “Rocky III,” and his Hollywood career continued with roles in 1990’s “Gremlins 2: The New Batch,” 1991’s “Suburban Commando,” 1993’s “Mr. Nanny” and 1996’s “Santa With Muscles.”

“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,” the WWE wrote on social media.

Hogan decided to fight for World Championship Wrestling, a WWE competitor, in 1994. He debuted his heel persona, Hollywood Hogan, in 1996, and rejoined WWE in the early 2000s.

In 2012, the online news outlet Gawker published a sex tape of Hogan and Heather Clem, who was married to Hogan’s friend, Bubba the Love Sponge. Hogan then sued Gawker and won $140 million in an infamous legal fight that shut down the outlet and led to a debate over online privacy and First Amendment rights.

Although Hogan was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005, the organization removed that honor in 2015 in light of his use of a racial slur in another sex tape. He was reinstated in 2018.

Hogan was a supporter of Donald Trump and spoke in favor of the the candidate at the Republican National Convention in 2024.

Hogan is survived by his wife, Sky Hogan, as well as his ex-wife Linda Hogan and their children, Brooke Hogan and Nick Hogan. He and Linda Hogan’s marriage lasted from 1983 to 2009. He was also married to Jennifer McDaniel from 2010 to 2021.

Body Acne: 4 Tips To Get Rid Of Them

Body Acne: 4 Tips To Get Rid Of Them

Body acne, often appearing on the back, chest, or shoulders, can be stubborn and uncomfortable. Fortunately, there are effective ways to treat and prevent it. Here are four practical tips to help you get clear skin.

1. Shower After Sweating
Sweat can trap dirt and oil in your pores, leading to breakouts. Always shower as soon as possible after working out or sweating heavily. Use a gentle, non-comedogenic body wash to cleanse the skin.

2. Exfoliate Regularly
Dead skin cells can clog pores and trigger acne. Use a chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid 2–3 times a week. These ingredients penetrate deep into pores and help prevent future breakouts.

3. Wear Breathable Fabrics
Tight or non-breathable clothing can irritate the skin and worsen acne. Opt for loose-fitting, moisture-wicking fabrics, especially during workouts. Change clothes quickly after sweating.

4. Use Targeted Treatments
Topical treatments with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or tea tree oil can reduce inflammation and kill acne-causing bacteria. Apply these to affected areas daily, and be consistent for best results.

Avoid Picking or Scratching
Picking at acne can cause irritation, scarring, or even infection. Let treatments do their job, and give your skin time to heal naturally.

Be Consistent with Your Routine
Results take time. Stick to a regular skincare routine for at least 4–6 weeks before expecting visible improvements.

When to See a Dermatologist
If body acne is severe or not improving with over-the-counter treatments, consult a dermatologist. Prescription options may be more effective.

Clear skin takes patience and care. With the right habits and treatments, body acne can be managed and significantly reduced.

Discover how skin signals can help diagnose serious diseases accurately, leading to timely treatment and improved outcomes.

Serious diseases can manifest through skin indicators, extending beyond acne. Neglecting skin issues for appearance’s sake can worsen the situation. Numerous skin signals exist as red flags for underlying serious diseases.

Acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide, particularly teenagers and young adults. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to inflammation. The most common types of acne include blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. While acne is not a life-threatening condition, it can significantly impact self-esteem and mental well-being, making it an important issue to understand and address.

Our bodies constantly communicate our health status through various signs. Here are eight important cues to pay attention to:

A cyst is a small pocket of tissue often filled with fluid or pus. It can occur due to an injury, infection, or other issues. They’re usually benign but may need treatment for complications.

Cysts can vary in appearance depending on their type and location. Here are 11 types of cysts.

Epidermoid cyst

Epidermoid cysts are small, benign bumps filled with keratin. Kertain is a protein that’s essential in forming your skin, hair, and nails. Epidermoid cysts occur when something blocks hair follicles, and skin cells build up beneath this blockage.

These cysts can look like a skin-colored, tan, or yellowish bump filled with thick material. They typically occur on your face, neck, or torso, but can occur across your body.

In rare cases, epidermoid cysts can be caused by an inherited condition called Gardner syndrome.

Sebaceous cyst

Sebaceous cysts are filled with sebum and are less common than epidermoid cysts. They often form within sebaceous glands, which are part of your skin and hair follicles. Sebaceous glands make oil for your skin and hair.

These cysts most commonly occur on your face, neck, or torso, and are often the result of damage to sebaceous glands.

The Astonishing Birth of the Surinam Toad: Nature’s Living Nursery

Prepare to be amazed by one of the most extraordinary reproductive feats in the animal kingdom! Meet the Surinam toad (Pipa pipa), an amphibian that turns the conventional process of birth upside down—by giving birth through its back!

Found in the rainforests of South America, this unique creature has developed a jaw-dropping adaptation that makes it one of nature’s most fascinating examples of evolution.

The Surinam Toad’s Unique Reproductive Process

During the mating process, the female Surinam toad embeds her fertilized eggs directly into specialized pockets in the skin on her back. As the embryos grow, they create small openings, turning her into a living, breathing nursery.

In a sight that seems like something from a science fiction movie, tiny fully-formed toadlets eventually burst forth from these openings, ready to begin their independent lives.

Unusual Mating Behavior

What’s even more unusual is how the males attract mates. Unlike most toads, which use loud croaks to draw attention, the male Surinam toad produces a sharp clicking sound by snapping the hyoid bone in his throat. Once paired, the mating duo engages in a remarkable acrobatic display, rising and flipping through the water in arcs.

Each time they flip, the female releases 3 to 10 eggs, which the male carefully embeds into her back. Over the next few days, these eggs sink into the skin, forming a honeycomb-like pattern of protective pockets where the embryos develop.

Independent Toadlets

As the embryos mature, they skip the typical tadpole stage and emerge as fully developed toadlets, less than an inch long. Once they leave their mother’s back, they begin their largely solitary lives. Afterward, the mother sheds the thin layer of skin used during the birthing process, ready to repeat the cycle again.

Nature’s Living Nursery

This extraordinary adaptation not only protects the developing young from predators but also allows the mother to maintain her aquatic lifestyle without the need for constant care of her offspring. The Surinam toad’s remarkable reproductive strategy is a striking example of the diversity of life and the incredible ways animals evolve to survive in the wild.

Her husband on…

What was meant to mark the beginning of a joyful new chapter turned into a harrowing tale of betrayal, manipulation, and murder. In the tranquil hills of Shillong, a sinister plan was unfolding behind the illusion of a romantic honeymoon. On May 20, Indian businessman Raja Raghuvanshi set off on a trip with his new bride, Sonam Raghuvanshi, to Meghalaya, a region known for its lush scenery and peaceful charm.

But days after their arrival, the couple vanished. Amid relentless rain and thick fog, authorities began a difficult search. Eventually, Raja’s body was discovered in a remote canyon—battered, decomposed, without identification, his wedding ring missing, and clear signs of violence.

Initial suspicion fell on Raj Kushwaha, allegedly Sonam’s lover, suggesting a crime of passion. But as the investigation progressed, a deeper and more calculated plot emerged. Far from an impulsive act, this was a premeditated murder, and shockingly, Sonam herself was at the center of it. According to investigators, she manipulated Raj with promises of love and a future together, but only after her husband was eliminated.

Raj then enlisted three others—Vishal Singh, Anand Kurmi, and Akash Rajput—who were promised financial rewards for their involvement. The group traveled covertly to Shillong, coordinating closely with Sonam, who kept them updated in real time. Between May 23 and 24, Raja was allegedly lured and pushed to his death. After the killing, the group returned to Indore. Raj reunited with Sonam, believing they would finally be together.

But Sonam betrayed him too. Unbeknownst to Raj, Sonam was also romantically involved with a third man, and she had no intention of keeping her promises. In a calculated move, she gave Raj instructions for a hiding place known only to her—part of her plan to dispose of him as well. The unraveling of this chilling plot came through cellphone data, which revealed constant communication between Sonam and Raj, leading to her arrest on June 8. During interrogation, she confessed her role. Now, authorities are investigating the mysterious third man and whether he was part of the scheme. The case has captivated India not only for its brutality but because it shattered the sacred image of marriage and trust. What began as a honeymoon became a nightmarish crime, exposing just how easily love can be faked and how far ambition and deceit can go. As the investigation unfolds, the country watches in disbelief at a story that reveals the darkest corners of the human heart.

Eddie Levert Discussed How He Deals With His Sons’ Deaths.

As Gerald Levert died in November 2006 from an accidental overdose of prescription and over-the-counter medications, everyone wondered how Eddie, who was very close to his son, would cope. In March 2008, Eddie’s second son, Sean Levert, died in police custody from Xanax withdrawals. After that, friends and admirers worried about Eddie and his ex-wife, Martha (Sean and Gerald’s mom), continuing.

Eddie told The Plain Dealer and Ebony about his grief a couple years ago. He also admitted his fathering mistakes. Interview snippets follow.

ddie Levert: “If it wasn’t supposed to be, it wouldn’t have happened. I wish I knew why. Was it me? Maybe I’ve changed so much to be a better father, spouse, and friend. To improve my life, perhaps. But I can’t dwell. I’m moved. It gets to where [he pauses and his voice cracks]… Missing them. Hard. It happened, so I can’t dwell on the fact that it wasn’t intended to. PlainDealer

Coping
Eddie credits his Christian faith with helping him grieve:

TPD: “I read Job. Lost everything. I kept everything. Two sons died. It matters. Yet compared to someone who lost their whole family—do you understand?—I was left something. God’s great. God strengthened me as I prayed. I cried for days. Still. Now I have a purpose.”

Eddie gets by on music and memories of performing with his sons:

“Music heals. My best moments were onstage with Gerald and Sean. I treasure my time onstage with them performing “Casanova,” “Baby Hang on to Me,” and “Wind Beneath My Wings.”

Even now, performing those songs alone is medication. Onstage is my most therapeutic time. I only think about music for an hour and a half. Ignore my knee pain. Please ignore my backache. Please ignore my misery. It disappears when I play that music.” [TPD]

Eddie regretted his hardships raising his two sons:
“When Gerald and Sean died, I wanted to blame myself because I felt like I could’ve spared them from seeing some things I did in my life as a father. Understand? I’m a person too, you know?

I took them on the road for my wife’s break. I’d take the kids for the summer so she could start her Jehovah’s Witness ministry. She was a great woman with a bad man. Know? That guy was a nasty man because he didn’t know what he had, who he was, or what he should’ve done. Ignorance. To learn. [Ebony]

Sean and Gerald have passed on, but they left their father with the greatest gift of all: wisdom.

What You Should Do!

Acne often acts as a clue about our health, but in most cases, it’s linked to simple lifestyle factors we can adjust. Identifying the triggers behind breakouts is key to prevention.

Cheek acne is commonly caused by bacteria from phones, dirty pillowcases, or touching the face—cleaning these regularly helps. Forehead acne often results from oily hair or greasy hair products; switching to lighter products and using a gentle cleanser can help.

Back acne may stem from sweat, tight clothes, or skincare products; showering after workouts and wearing breathable clothing is essential.

Nose acne is common due to larger pores and excess oil; tea tree oil or sulfur-based products can help. Acne around the mouth may be caused by contact with phones or cosmetics—using non-comedogenic products and avoiding touching the area is important.

Leg acne is usually due to friction or blocked follicles; if symptoms persist, consult a doctor. Jaw and neck acne often signals hormonal changes; a proper skincare routine and sunscreen use can manage it. Shoulder acne may result from clogged pores or tight clothes—hydration, sun protection, and loose clothing can reduce breakouts. Overall, paying attention to these signs can help maintain healthier skin.

Acne can be a frustrating skin condition that affects individuals of all ages, particularly women. While hormonal changes and genetics play significant roles in acne development, several external factors can also contribute to clogged pores and breakouts.

Understanding these triggers is essential for effectively managing acne and maintaining clear, healthy skin.

Makeup Residue:

Makeup products, especially those containing heavy oils and comedogenic ingredients, can clog pores and lead to acne breakouts.

It’s crucial to remove makeup thoroughly before bedtime to prevent pore congestion and allow the skin to breathe overnight.

Excessive Sebum Production:

Overactive sebaceous glands produce excess oil, which can accumulate in the pores and mix with dead skin cells, dirt, and bacteria, resulting in clogged pores and acne.

Managing sebum production through proper skincare and lifestyle habits is key to preventing breakouts.

Poor Cleansing Habits:

Inadequate cleansing can leave behind dirt, sweat, and environmental pollutants on the skin’s surface, contributing to pore congestion and acne development.

Using a gentle cleanser twice daily helps remove impurities and prevent pore blockages.

High Humidity and Sweat:

Humid environments and excessive sweating can increase oil production and trap impurities in the pores, leading to acne flare-ups.

Regularly washing the face and using non-comedogenic skincare products can help combat the effects of humidity and sweat on the skin.

Unhygienic Phone and Pillowcase:

Bacteria and dirt from unwashed hands, phones, and pillowcases can transfer onto the skin, causing pore blockages and acne.

Keeping these items clean and practicing good hygiene habits can minimize bacterial contamination and reduce the risk of breakouts.

Causes that clog your pores…

If topical treatment alone does not improve acne, or if acne is severe or extensive, oral medications are the best option.

If you’ve tried several topical medications without success, or if your condition is severe, oral acne medications are usually the next step in the treatment.

Treatment usually includes oral antibiotics and applying a prescription gel or topical cream to the skin. Depending on people with acne, treatment may include using prescription creams to prevent acne, taking antibiotics to kill bacteria that contribute to acne, or if acne is severe. taking stronger medications such as like isotretinoin, or even minor surgery.

Even if you have tried topical acne treatments such as creams or gels without any lasting results, laser therapy might be the right solution for you. While I would like you to try natural remedies first, if you are not seeing improvement and severe hormone acne is making your quality of life worse, other treatments can make a real difference. While it may take a while, treating hormonal acne from the inside out until your hormones are in their natural happy balance will allow your skin to heal.

Morgan Freeman: A Lasting Legacy in Film, Advocacy, and Culture
Morgan Freeman is widely recognized as one of the most respected and influential actors of his generation. With a career spanning more than five decades, Freeman is celebrated for his deep, commanding voice, memorable performances, and contributions to social causes both on and off screen. While misleading stories and hoaxes have occasionally circulated online about Freeman’s health or well-being, the truth is that his enduring legacy is built on talent, resilience, and authenticity—not rumor.

Early Life and Entry into Acting

Morgan Freeman was born on June 1, 1937, in Memphis, Tennessee. He developed an early interest in acting and drama, making his acting debut as a child in school plays. After graduating from high school, Freeman turned down a partial drama scholarship and served in the United States Air Force before returning to pursue acting seriously.

He began his professional career on stage, including a role in an all-African American production of Hello, Dolly! in the 1960s. Freeman gained wider recognition in the 1970s as a cast member on the educational children’s television program The Electric Company, produced by PBS.

Rise to Fame and Cinematic Success

Freeman’s breakout role came with the 1987 film Street Smart, for which he earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. From there, his filmography expanded rapidly, including critically acclaimed roles in Driving Miss Daisy (1989), Glory (1989), Lean on Me (1989), and Unforgiven (1992).

One of his most iconic performances came in 1994’s The Shawshank Redemption, where he portrayed Ellis “Red” Redding. The film, though initially modest at the box office, has since become a cultural cornerstone and is ranked by IMDb as one of the highest-rated films of all time.

Over the years, Freeman has been recognized with numerous accolades:
- Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Million Dollar Baby (2004)
- Golden Globe Award for Driving Miss Daisy (1989)
- Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award (2018)
His authoritative voice and dignified presence have also made him a popular choice for narrating documentaries and commercials. Notably, he narrated March of the Penguins (2005), Through the Wormhole (2010–2017), and The Story of God (2016–2019), all of which received strong viewership and critical acclaim.

Online Rumors and Misinformation

Despite his steady and public career, Morgan Freeman has often been the subject of internet hoaxes and fake death announcements. These viral rumors are entirely unfounded and have been debunked by reputable media outlets such as Reuters, Snopes, and USA Today.

For instance, false claims circulated online in 2021 suggesting that Freeman had been involved in a helicopter accident—complete with fictionalized details and dramatic imagery. However, no such incident was reported by any legitimate source, including his official representatives, verified news outlets, or government aviation authorities.

Freeman has not been publicly involved in any aviation-related accidents. These types of viral stories, while sometimes intended as satire or fiction, can create unnecessary confusion and emotional distress among fans and readers. Organizations like the Reuters Fact Check team and Snopes regularly encourage internet users to verify information before sharing, especially when it involves public figures.

Commitment to Civil Rights and Social Advocacy

In addition to his cinematic contributions, Morgan Freeman has been an outspoken advocate for civil rights, education, and environmental causes. He has publicly supported efforts to address climate change, racial justice, and prison reform.

Freeman co-founded Revelations Entertainment, a production company dedicated to creating thought-provoking and socially impactful content. Through this platform, he has worked to produce documentaries and films that encourage dialogue on important global issues.

In 2014, Freeman was honored with the Freedom Medal from the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis for his lifelong commitment to equality and justice.

He has also donated significant sums to educational programs and disaster relief efforts, including support for victims of Hurricane Katrina and funding for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs).

Personal Life and Public Image

Despite being a global celebrity, Freeman is known for maintaining a relatively private personal life. He resides in Mississippi and owns a farm that he converted into a sanctuary for bees to promote ecological health and sustainability.

In public appearances and interviews, Freeman is consistently praised for his calm demeanor, thoughtful commentary, and commitment to authenticity. His presence—whether in film, on stage, or in documentaries—is often described as reassuring and authoritative.

According to YouGov, a global public opinion and data company, Freeman consistently ranks among the most admired and trusted figures in entertainment.

Voice of a Generation

Morgan Freeman’s voice has become a cultural touchstone—instantly recognizable and deeply associated with wisdom, strength, and humanity. His narration work spans educational series, major films, and charitable campaigns. He has lent his voice to initiatives for organizations such as the American Red Cross, UNESCO, and the United Nations Foundation.

The Smithsonian Institution has even featured his narration in several exhibits and educational materials, further emphasizing his role in shaping how knowledge and storytelling are shared with the public.

Conclusion: A Career Built on Integrity and Impact

Morgan Freeman continues to be a symbol of excellence in acting and social responsibility. While the internet age has made it easier for misinformation to spread, it’s crucial to distinguish between fictional narratives and real achievements.

Freeman’s career is not defined by fabricated drama or rumor, but by decades of powerful storytelling, humanitarian work, and an unwavering dedication to truth. His life stands as a testament to resilience, creativity, and purpose.
