Hours earlier on Wednesday it was revealed that Jack would be skipping the Bar Wrestling show he was scheduled to attend on March 13 at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles.

‘Unfortunately Jungle Boy will no longer be wrestling at our March 13th show,’ the promotion said on its Twitter account. ‘Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family at this time.’

Luke Perry – who shot to fame in the early 90s playing Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills, 90210 – died Monday, about five days after he suffered a massive stroke at his Sherman Oaks, California home February 27.

The actor’s family and friends were by his side in his final moments, according to his publicist, Arnold Robinson.

‘The family appreciates the outpouring of support and prayers that have been extended to Luke from around the world, and respectfully request privacy in this time of great mourning,’ Robinson said.

Luke Perry’s 18-year-old daughter Sophie, who cut short a charity trip to Africa and rushed home to be by her ailing father’s side in his final hours, broke her silence on Tuesday by sharing a photo of her with her dad.

In the caption she wrote: ‘I’m not really sure what to say or do in this situation, it’s something you aren’t ever given a lesson on how to handle, especially when it’s all happening in the public eye.

‘So bare with me and know that I am grateful for all the love. Just, being grateful quietly.’

The rest of her post reads: ‘A lot has happened in this past week for me. Everything is happening so fast. I made it back from Malawi just in time to be here with my family.

‘And in the past 24 hours, I have received an overwhelming amount of love and support.

‘I cannot individually respond to the hundreds of beautiful and heartfelt messages, but I see them, and appreciate you all for sending positivity to my family and I.’

Luke Perry’s daughter Sophie, 18, abruptly ended her six-month trip and came home as soon as she learned her actor father had a stroke last Wednesday. Breaking her silence on Tuesday, Sophie shared a photo of herself and her father on Instagram, writing: ‘I’m not really sure what to say or do in this situation, it’s something you aren’t ever given a lesson on how to handle’

Jack’s pro wrestling gimmick is akin to a Tarzan persona, as he wrestles with long wavy locks down and leopard print boots.

Speaking to Sports Illustrated in January, Jack said he aimed ‘to have [his] own success,’ and didn’t seek to ride on the coattails of his celebrity father.

‘My family is a part of who I am,’ he told the magazine, ‘but I’m trying to make my own way.’

He told the publication how he trains with actor David Arquette, who has made several trips to the squared circle over the past two decades.

‘Wrestling is pretty tough. Anyone who’s been in there and done it will tell you it’s not easy,’ Jack said. ‘David has no real reason to get in the ring, and potentially hurt himself, other than it’s something he really loves to do.

‘I respect and appreciate that a lot. He’s doing what he wants to do, he’s doing it his way, and I think that’s really cool.’

Update: The promote ion announced via Twitter that Luke would not be performing next week

Luke was ringside in November at Joey Janela’s L.A. Confidential show when Arquette suffered a grisly cut to his neck during a match against hardcore wrestler Nick Gage, Arquette told the publication in November.

‘I got cut in a part of my neck muscle that was really close to my jugular,’ Arquette said. It’s in an area called “the box” in your neck, and if you get hit there it’s pretty deadly.

‘Luke is a dear friend of mine, and his son, who is a fantastic wrestler named Jungle Boy, was wrestling on the same show. We’ve been friends for over 30 years, so Luke is the one I went to see to look inside the wound. He looked and said, “No,” so I knew I didn’t cut a main artery or vein.’

Fame has followed him through his life and he has a star with his name on it on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  With all of this notoriety, his other life accomplishments are sometimes overlooked, like his 64 years of marriage to Anne Buydens.  They are respectively, 102 years old and 99.

Kirk Douglas celebrated his 102^nd birthday on December 9th.  He was accompanied by his wife of 64 years Anne.  The two are a fairytale love story all on their own.  They have endured life together through its’ joys and pains, with children and grandchildren firmly by their sides.

One of the things that A Star is Born has taught me is that no one becomes great without going through some sort of adversity. And this story from Lady Gaga’s personal life only proves it. When she was only starting out her career, her haters created a Facebook group called “Stefani Germanotta, you will never be famous.” Recently, people found out about this secret little (and I mean little) community and immediately fell in love with the irony of it.

It’s name: “Stefani Germanotta, you will never be famous.” The page housed pictures of a pretty Norah Jones-esque young 18-year-old NYU student who sang and played piano at local bars. The group was peppered with comments, sharp as porcupine needles, vilifying the aspiring musician for being an “attention-whore.” Scores asked: “Who does she think she is?” I also remember one dude posting a flyer for one of her upcoming gigs at a local village bar. He had clearly stomped on the flyer, an outline of his muddy sole [soul] struggling to eclipse her name.

but I pretty much — and quickly — forgot about that group and that girl with the intense raven eyes. Until about five years later. I was on an Amtrak train from NYC to Philly, reading a Vanessa Grigoriadis New York Magazine profile on Lady Gaga. I floated somewhat mindlessly through the piece until I got to the first sentence of the second graf:

“Before the meeting, I assumed that someone with a stage name like “Lady” (her given name is Stefani Joanne Germanotta) was going to be a bit standoffish…” HOLY S**T, I screamed to an empty car (Those who hang with me will know that I actually shrieked). LADY GAGA IS STEFANI GERMANOTTA? STEFANI IS LADY GAGA? I was overcome with a dizzying emotional cocktail of stage-mom-at-a-beauty-pageant and nerd-revenge triumph. But also shame. Shame that I never wrote on that group

Shame that I never defended the girl with the intense raven eyes

— the girl whose brave flyers were stomped on, probably somewhere near my dorm. But again, I soon forgot about that revelation and that feeling. Feelings. They’re so fleeting. Even more so, revelations. We need to constantly re-discover them every damn day. Like last week, when I woke up to this meme. I saw the muddy sole eclipsing her name. The eye-rolls. The cowardly virtual-giggles. The “Who does she think she is?”

I’ve got a lot of feelings, but the easiest one to articulate: gratitude

Stefani, thank you. Thank you for always thinking you’re a superstar, for using your cracks to let the light come out more brightly. Humans, let’s follow suit.”

Lady Gaga’s college experience wasn’t the first time she experienced severe bullying. Her parents enrolled her at Convent of Sacred Heart, an Upper East Side Catholic private school, where she got her first taste of how cruel kids could be. From then on it didn’t stop.

“I used to do these really big Evita brows,” Gaga told Rolling Stone in 2011. “I used to self-tan, and I had this really intense tan in school, and people would say, ‘Why the fuck are you so orange, why do you do your hair that way, are you a dike? Why do you have to look like that for school?’ I used to be called a slut, be called this, be called that. I didn’t even want to go to school sometimes.”

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger and in spite of her naysayers, she has always had insurmountable drive. At the age of 11, she began voice lessons with Don Lawrence, Christina Aguilera’s singing coach, who she continued with even as her career took off. In addition to singing, she learned how to play classical piano and took acting classes – both skills that would lead to her pivotal Oscar moment.

Focused on her music career, she enrolled at NYU Tisch School of the Arts, but always the risk-taker Gaga dropped out not long eager to start her real-world musician experience. “I left my entire family, got the cheapest apartment I could find and ate shit until somebody would listen,” she told New York Magazine.

Known for her more audacious looks in her early career, with giant sunglasses and meat dresses, her music foundation carried through into her pop music. “I was classically trained as a pianist and that innately teaches you how to write a pop song,” Gaga told the Telegraph. “Because when you learn Bach inversions, it has the same sort of modulations between the chords. It’s all about tension and release.”

At 19-years-old the star thought maybe she had found her big break when Def Jam records signed her, but it wasn’t to be. Three months into the deal the label informed her that she just wasn’t for them. As usual, she remained determined. In 2008 Gaga’s boyfriend at the time Rob Fusari brought Gaga to Interscope records not as a singer but as a songwriter and from there – a star was born. She wrote hits for major artists such as Fergie, the Pussycat Dolls and even Britney Spears. While at the label Gaga recorded a reference vocal for one of her songs the stars aligned and Akon heard the demo and signed her.

Through let-downs, bullies, and rejections Gaga has become a renowned singer and actress. She has been nominated for 24 Grammys and won nine of them. In 2018 she made her grand acting debut in A Star Is Born and won an Oscar for her billboard topping hit and soundtrack song ‘Shallow.’

In her Oscars acceptance speech she had some inspirational words for all the struggling artists out there that identify with her:  “If you are at home, and you’re sitting on your couch and you’re watching this right now, all I have to say is that this is hard work. I’ve worked hard for a long time, and it’s not about, you know…it’s not about winning. But what it’s about is not giving up. If you have a dream, fight for it. There’s a discipline for passion. And it’s not about how many times you get rejected or you fall down or you’re beaten up. It’s about how many times you stand up and are brave and you keep on going.”

Lady Gaga   Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for her unconventionality, provocative work, and visual experimentation. She began performing as a teenager, singing at open mic nights and acting in school plays.

Fresh Prince actor Will Smith won’t be returning as DC Comics’ popular marksman for James Gunn’s Suicide Squad 2.

This news comes after the recent exit of Ben Affleck as Batman and possibly Henry Cavill as Superman(although Warner Bros. and DC Films have not made an official announcement as yet).

While it doesn’t necessarily mean that Will Smith will be dropping the character for good, it seems unlikely that he’ll return anytime soon.

Smith played Deadshot, the bald-and-bearded assassin who served as semi-leader to the motley crew of baddies-turned-sorta-goodies, in the first film. There were rumors that he would eventually get his own film or that he would reprise his role in as a villain in a Batman solo film.

The first Suicide Squad proved to be a production nightmare that was plagued with re-shoots and re-edits that eventually transformed the final cut into a mess which divided fans.

Suicide Squad 2 already has a release date and will hit theatres on August 6, 2021. James Gunn, who previously lead The Guardians of The Galaxy for Marvel, is set to give the franchise a new spin.

It wouldn’t be a red carpet without a dose of Jennifer Lopez‘s head-turning style.

Just two weeks after her viral fashion moment at the Grammys on Feb. 10 (that hat!), the 49-year-old superstar made another major high-fashion statement at the 2019 Academy Awards, and her Instagram boyfriend Alex Rodriguez was right by her side to celebrate (and document) her major moment.

Lopez, who is presenting at the ceremony, always balances the skin-baring with the style-setting. And this time she didn’t disappoint in a second skin mirror mosaic long-sleeve Tom Ford gown worn with equally dazzling jewelry. The gown is so reflective it throws off sparkles on everything around her as she walks, as hairstylist Chris Appleton documented.

Rodriguez, 43, also wore Tom Ford, selecting an ivory cocktail jacket with grosgrain peak lapel. For his first Oscars, he put some of his possible outfit options to a poll on his Instagram stories, asking fans to vote on whether he should wear a white or black jacket, low top or high top shoes and one of two watches.

Lopez posted several throwback photos of her previous Oscar moments and a sexy behind-the-scenes photo of her prep for the big show.

Since Lopez and Rodriguez first began dating two years ago, the couple has become the red carpet duo to watch. And Rodriguez even admitted he loves to take behind-the-scenes photos of his leading lady’s looks.

“My job is to be the cameraman!” Rodriguez said at the Grammys.

And if his camera skills weren’t enough, Rodriguez is also a true romantic. On their two year anniversary, he took to Instagram to post a special tribute to Lopez.
