Hulk Hogan on the mend from ‘pretty serious heart surgery’

Hulk Hogan is reportedly on the mend after undergoing “pretty serious heart surgery” amid his estrangement from daughter Brooke.

The 71-year-old wrestling star is “recovering” and “doing well,” an insider told Us Weekly on Wednesday, though they offered no other details on what led to the operation.

Earlier in the day, radio host Bubba the Love Sponge said he’d heard that Hogan had been hospitalized.

“There are phone calls being made to various family members about getting to town to come say your goodbyes,” said the on-air personality. “I’ve heard people say that he might not make it.”

In the wake of the chatter, the source told Us Weekly the surgery wasn’t a “near-death thing,” assuring fans that Hogan is not “on death’s door.”

The famous family made headlines in March when Hogan’s ex-wife Linda posted a tearful video about the “mess” of their relationship with Brooke, whom she claimed “doesn’t talk to us.”

“She’s had twins. She got married, she didn’t tell us,” Linda said at the time.

Brooke and former Stanley Cup winner Steven Oleksy secretly tied the knot in June 2022 and became parents this January, with the arrival of fraternal twins.

“I have completely separate reasons for going no contact with each of my parents,” Brooke said in an Instagram statement following her mother’s video. “No contact with my Mom has nothing to do with my Dad, and no contact with my Father has nothing to do with my Mother.”

The new mom then accused her parents of longstanding abuse — verbal, mental and “frequently … physical. And sometimes it’s not by the person you would assume.”

Linda responded to the allegations by accusing her daughter of once being “so drunk she broke my collarbone and cut my lip.”

The matriarch conceded that she’d “spanked Brooke once” and called her “a couple of names,” but insisted she “by no means ever treated her the way she’s painting it.”

Oleksy defended his wife against the “laughable” allegations, saying that Linda Hogan’s claims “fall well short of the truth.”

The Daily News has reached out to a representative for Hulk Hogan.

Marathon hearings conclude in state case against Luigi Mangione for UnitedHealthcare CEO killing

Marathon proceedings in Luigi Mangione’s state homicide case came to a close Thursday, as Manhattan prosecutors and lawyers for the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson rested without calling any more witnesses. The parties won’t learn for some time which positions prevailed, with state Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro asking each side to submit final written arguments and indicating he would rule on Mangione’s motions to suppress evidence central to the prosecution’s case by May 18. The hearings included 17 witnesses and centered on evidence recovered and statements Mangione made to Pennsylvania law enforcement surrounding his arrest five days after Thompson’s killing. Mangione was nabbed at a McDonald’s in the city of Altoona, more than 200 miles from the Hilton hotel in Midtown, outside which the CEO was shot dead Dec. 4, 2024. Notes allegedly found by police in Luigi Mangione's backpack after he was detained at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvani...

Britain is lowering the voting age to 16. It’s getting a mixed reaction

By JILL LAWLESS LONDON (AP) — There has been a mixed reaction in Britain to the government’s announcement that it will lower the voting age from 18 to 16 before the next national election . The Labour Party administration says it’s part of a package of changes to strengthen British democracy and help restore trust in politics. The opposition says it’s a power-grab by the left. Experts say it’s complicated, with mixed evidence about how lowering the voting age affects democracy and election outcomes. The biggest change since the 1960s Britain’s voting age last fell in 1969, when the U.K. became one of the first major democracies to lower it from 21 to 18. Many other countries, including the United States, followed suit within a few years. Now the government says it will lower the threshold to 16 by the time the next general election is held, likely in 2029. That will bring the whole country into line with Scotland and Wales, which have semiautonomous governments and already let 1...
