WRESTLING LEGEND RIC FLAIR - IN COMA, BEING PREPPED FOR SURGERY

Pro wrestling icon Rick Flair is in the hospital suffering from what his camp calls "tough medical issues."

The 68-year-old "Nature Boy" was taken to the hospital over the weekend for what his representatives at Legacy Talent Agency said was "routine monitoring." But Sunday night they added, "We need your prayers, positive energy and well wishes for our Living Legend as he is dealing with some tough medical issues."

According to the Charlotte Observer, Flair is in intensive care and his health issues are heart-related. He was forced to miss a scheduled wrestling event this month for unknown reasons.

Ric Flair is in a medically induced coma and is preparing for surgery ... a rep for the WWE tells TMZ Sports.

The 68-year-old wrestling icon was admitted to the hospital early Saturday morning and the situation has gotten more serious.

We're told Flair is set to undergo a procedure momentarily, though we're not being told what the procedure is ... though Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that it's a heart-related issue.

Flair's rep had previously asked for thoughts and prayers for the Nature Boy.

TOM CRUISE: MISSION - HOSPITAL

Tom Cruise may seem invincible in those Mission: Impossible movies, but a crazy stunt got the better of him while filming Mission Impossible 6 on Sunday morning.

According to TMZ, Cruise -- who prides himself on doing a lot of his own stunt work -- was trying to leap off of a platform onto the roof of a building, but came up just short, crashing into the side of the building instead of landing on top of it.

The actor attempted to go on with the scene, but was limping so badly that crew members helped him away and off the set. There's no word on the extent of his injuries.

JUDGE DISMISSES CIVIL CASE AGAINST SWIFT



The Civil Case filed by David Mueller against Taylor Swift has been dismissed. U.S. Judge Williams Martinez ruled that Mueller didn’t offer enough evidence to prove that the singer personally got him fired from KYGO after he allegedly groped her during a meet and greet. He was seeking $3 million in damages.


Swift was visibly emotional when the Judge announced his decision. The court case is not over, however, as Mueller’s lawsuits against Swift’s mother, Andrea, and their radio handler, Frank Bell, continues.
