As we've told you Pat Sajak is retiring. And our iHeartRadio colleague, Ryan Seacrest, has confirmed that he will be named the new host of "Wheel of Fortune." Earlier this year, Seacrest left the morning show "Live" after co-hosting with Kelly Ripa for six years. Meanwhile, Vanna White wants more money to reveal those letters, reportedly hiring an attorney as she seeks a pay increase. Her salary has stayed the same over the last 18 years, with Vanna making three-million a year compared to Sajak's 15-million.

A janitor ruined 20 years of research by turning off a lab freezer at a private research university in New York. Officials say in September of 2020, the janitor heard an annoying alarm and turned off the freezer in an attempt to be helpful. The next day students found the freezer full of cell cultures and samples compromised and destroyed. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has filed a lawsuit against the janitorial company and is seeking one million dollars in damages.

A mansion in the hills of Los Angeles built in 1932 is available for rent if you can afford it. Chase Campen with Compass is the listing agent and says Walt Disney had this two-story, four-bedroom, nearly 64-hundred-square-foot home built for him, his wife, and two daughters. They lived there for 18 years during the time when Disney was actively involved in creating movies such as Snow White, Alice in Wonderland, and Cinderella\. The home has spectacular views of the Los Angeles skyline from more than an acre of land. For a 120-thousand-dollar security deposit, the home will rent for 40 grand a month.

Pop star Pink got a surprise during a recent concert in London. A fan threw a bag of their mother's ashes on stage during her performance, leaving Pink stunned. In a clip circulating on social media, Pink can be seen picking up the plastic bag containing the powdery grey ashes of the fan's cremated mother. Visibly shocked, Pink placed the bag down behind the front-of-stage speakers and continued performing "Just Like A Pill" off her second studio album.

Researchers have discovered ancient evidence of possible human cannibalism. The Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History said they examined a one-point-five million year old shin bone from Northern Kenya and found suspicious slice-like marks. Anthropologists believe the cut marks are similar to what they've seen on animals fossils being processed to be eaten. They say it's possible that our Homo sapien ancestors ate others, not for ritual purposes, but for nutrition.
