Apparently Brooke Hogan decided that she has a chance at a career. Well, at least her agent must be really good to convince her of that. For some reason which was probably the amount of money being offered, Brooke Hogan turned down the opportunity to pose nude in Playboy thus depriving millions of tranny fans from seeing their hero in the buff. Her publicist said, “Brooke just didn’t feel that it was the right time. It’s not out of the question for the future, but we’ll have to see.”What that PR mumbo jumbo translates to is that Brooke wanted more than $39.64 to take her clothes off. Hell, she spends more than that each day on self-tanner, and besides, she’s daddy’s little girl, and he doesn’t like sharing. I think that holding out for more money is probably not her best option. She is at the peak of her fifteen minutes right now and there really is no place for her to go but down. What does she think she is going to do for the next 20 years or so? Does she really think she is going to be an actress or singer? Does she think she can milk 20 years of reality programming out of her life? No one gives a crap about her or Playboy would have offered her more money. Hell, Playboy makes offers to people everyday which are routinely turned down. You just don’t hear about them because those celebrities are not desperate enough for publicity that they have to make a statement to that effect.

I appreciate all of you sending me e-mails and notes that Nick Hogan is getting out of jail early. How early? About three months early. In just about three weeks from now on October 21st, Nick will be done serving his sentence. John Graziano still can’t do anything for himself. You may think I would take this opportunity to snark, but I’m not. Nick is in the justice system and they have rules and he behaved so he gets out early.
I actually think Nick will be good for a couple of weeks when he gets out, but then he will do something stupid and I will be right here, ready to trash him some more. But, I do want to emphasize that Nick is young, and was young when this happened. Was he conceited? Absolutely. A jerk? Yep. But the fact is he was just 17 and I would gather lots of us did idiotic things when we were 17, some of which may have got someone killed or injured but we just happened to get lucky. If we were 17 and the child of a celebrity and used to getting our own way, we might have been a-holes as well.
The reason I have been so angry throughout this entire process is because of the way the Hogan family acted, and how they put all the blame on John and that Nick could do no wrong. I just thought the attitude from the entire Hogan clan was despicable. That was my beef with the whole thing. It still is. The sentence is what it is and the kid will have served his time. Lets see if he learned anything from it or if he goes back to the same boorish behavior. He better know that we will all be watching.

Hulk Hogan wraps up Season 2 of NBC’s “American Gladiators” on Monday night — a show which has been a bright spot in Hulk’s otherwise chaotic personal life.
His 24-year marriage to wife Linda is headed for divorce, but now, in a new interview with Access Hollywood’s Maria Menounos, Hulk shows signs of regrets.
“As crazy as that sounds to say, I wish I was still with my wife,” Hulk told Maria.
The stunning admission comes after everything he and his estranged wife, Linda, have been through — and one that could intensify certain speculation.
“There have been rumors that maybe this divorce was a ploy to protect your assets,” Maria said.
“If this is a ploy, her being intimate with a 19-year-old kid is pretty good acting,” Hulk said.
Several have suggested that the Hogans split up to protect their money (Hulk is worth ten of millions of dollars) after they were sued by the family of the boy permanently injured in 18-year-old Nick Hogan’s car wreck.
Hulk squashes that speculation, citing in particular, his pain over Linda, now dating a 19-year-old, who Hulk claims lives in the home the Hogan family once shared.
“For me to be able to handle… my 50-year-old wife sleeping in a bed with a 19-year-old boyfriend and using my gym, and driving my cars, and living in my house. I guess we’ve got a pretty good act going on ‘cause that’s a lot to take on,” Hulk said.
Hulk claims the divorce was 100 percent Linda’s idea.
“It wasn’t an argument, it was, ‘Hey, I don’t love you, I don’t want to be with you, I don’t want to see you anymore.’ It was the real deal,” Hulk said.
“Just out of the blue?” Maria asked.
“Yeah, well you know, we’d had problems over the last ten years but you know, I thought that when you put your hand on the Bible, you know until death do us part and for better or worse, I thought people really meant that when they said it,” he admitted.
And things have turned ugly, with negotiations stretching on.
“This is a simple divorce – there’s no custody, there’s just a big pile of junk that we’ve accumulated. We should split it however the judge wants it and walk away, but you know, my wife’s lawyer has told different magazines there’s gonna be a war,” he said. “This is the money that I saved for my family, and money that Linda could walk away with, money that I saved for my children, that they’re just, they’re just wasting [it] and burning [it] up.”

When last we left the Hogan family (though can we leave them if they won’t go away?), parents Hulk and Linda had split up, and it wasn’t pretty. Daughter Brooke accused the Hulkster of piledriving one of her friends, while cougar Linda fell into the arms of the 19-year-old pool boy. What’s next for an estranged, straw-haired couple bored of screwing their children’s dopplegangers? Elaborate, imaginary crimes:
Brooke Hogan is fightin’ mad after her mother, Linda, accused estranged hubby Terry (Hulk) Hogan of violating a restraining order and stalking her. Linda recently told police that as she was leaving her house, she saw Hulk driving toward it and called 911.
“I know for a fact that the accusations made against my father are completely false,” said Brooke. She’s right: Miami cops found no evidence of a restraining order.
Well, there’s that. Still, what kind of country have we become where you can no longer persecute people for violating imaginary restraining orders? Is celebrity jurisprudence now so out of hand that the mere idea of a legally binding document — issued, no doubt, by Snuffleupagus himself — is somehow found lacking? Pity poor Linda Hogan, undone by a judicial loophole despite a powerhouse team of lawyers led by Phoenix Wwright. If they can’t beat the (imaginary) system, what hope have we?

New sad home videos of WWE superstar Hulk Hogan’s jailed son Nick Bollea’s car crash victim have been made public in effort to show the teen the seriousness of his friend’s condition. Bollea, 17, is currently serving an eight-month prison sentence at Florida’s Pinellas County Jail, after pleading no contest to a felony of reckless driving following a horrific car crash in Clearwater, Florida, which left his best friend John Graziano brain damaged for life. On the released tapes, aired by CNN’s Nancy Grace yesterday, 23-year-old Graziano is shown from his hospital bed, his injuries pixilated due to their severity. Grace comments as the video rolls, revealing Graziano’s day-to-day life: “I’ve been on a lot of crash wards and rehab centres to meet with victims and even now this is how wrenching it is to see what he is going through.” Graziano’s parents spoke out last May, furious at Bollea’s lack of remorse, after hearing him discuss plans to win an early release from jail in taped telephone conversations that were leaked online. The family also blasted the Bolleas for trying to cash in on their grief, by turning Nick’s prison stint into a money making television reality show.

Since Linda Hogan and Hulk Hogan have split up, they’ve both been dating around. The problem with Linda dating is that she is dating a guy who is 19-years-old! Her kids are 18 and 20. That means, technically, he’s younger than her own child! I mean, there is no way of spinning this and making it any better. It’s totally disturbing and rotten. How gross is she? I wonder if they have sex? Puke.
It’s also a possibility that this is some type of publicity stunt but I really don’t know why she’d do this. I mean, isn’t this a time where their family needs LESS attention and not more? Let’s hope this kid, Charley Hill, doesn’t have a whole fake ID thing going cause if he is only 17, Linda is totally a pedo! Here’s what Brooke Hogan had to say about the situation:
“I personally don’t like it at all or condone it, but she’s my mom, so I have to show her support… I went to school with him. He was a grade under me…Me and Nick know him well. Me and Nick are two years apart, and he was right between us (in school).â€
If I were Brooke, I don’t think I could even look at my mother much less support her. Seriously, that is some raunchy shit. I can’t even stand talking about it anymore. Peace out.

Nick Hogan finally got his wish: Cellmates. WORD. I know the first thing I would try to do if I went to jail was sleep in the same cell as other criminals.
AP says, Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Cecilia Barreda says housing assignments are routinely reviewed because the jail’s population constantly changes. That created an opportunity to house juveniles together.
If I went to jail, rest assured, I would ask to be put somewhere that no one else could find me. I could talk to myself for months.

Oh, that was mean, but come on, I am just sayin’ what you all are thinking. Looks like Nick and the Hogans are trying to blame John Graziano for the entire accident. Now, that’s class, you can’t say it aint!
TMZ says, We’ve obtained his response to the civil lawsuit that John’s family filed against the Hogans, and it’s outrageous: Nick blames virtually every person on the planet — including John himself and Daniel Jacobs, the guy whom he drag-raced to cause the crash in the first place — but doesn’t take a shred of responsibility of his own.
Let’s just list the ways that Nick says John put himself in danger: Not wearing a seatbelt, not getting out of the car, getting into the car in the first place.
Also, just being friends with the Hogans, I think that could be the strongest case against John.

I can just feel it building inside of me. A Hogan rant. God help me, but I hate each and every single member of their family. I do. I know I throw out the word hate a great deal, but in reality, there are very few people I hate. It is usually reserved for something extreme, but honestly, the Hogan family is right the f**k there.In the latest episode of I’m too good and too important to be locked up, Nick Hogan’s lawyers have gone into court to try and get him out of jail. Last I checked, Nick plead guilty. There weren’t any, I plead guilty, but if I do so I want to serve my sentence at the Four Seasons while my mom dates guys who look like me and my dad fondles my sister.
No, Nick plead guilty and the judge sentenced him to 8 months. That is it. 8 months and he is done and can go on and on and on with his life. He can forget about John Graziano and the pain and misery he will suffer for the rest of his life. Nick can be just like Leif Garret and forget about the person he ruined forever.
Nick’s lawyers think the judge should reconsider his sentence. They suggest home arrest with an ankle monitor or be moved to a minimum security prison.
“Understandably, this situation creates an unbearable anxiety for a minor in solitary confinement.
“This sort of confinement substantially amounts to cruel and unusual punishment for a juvenile and is not warranted for a non-violent first offender serving a probation sentence.”
You have got to be f**king kidding me. Cruel and unusual punishment? Because he has to spend 17 hours alone in a cell? Didn’t he probably spend 12 hours alone in his room jerking off to photos of his sister everyday? How much time do you think John spends in his room alone each day? I’m guessing that it is closer to 20 hours a day. Alone and with no one there. And you know what? 8 months from now, he will still be there. 8 years from now? Still be there.
Last week someone sent me a video of the story CNN did on the Hogans and this situation. It was at the same time as the Sharon Stone karma thing and basically the Hogans say the same thing on the tape. That John Graziano got what he deserved because of karma and that he was a bad person. If you have nine minutes, it is worth the look. (Thanks Zeke)
F**k you Hogan family. I never wish bad things on anyone, but I wish that you would lose every penny and that you would be forced to all get jobs. I’m sure with all your education and skills, that you could all find work in the food service industry.
Doesn’t everyone see what the problem is for the future? Nick and Brooke are going to breed. Hopefully not together, but they will breed. So, instead of two spoiled kids who don’t know right from wrong we will get more and more and more. Can you imagine 10 of these self-entitled f**kers running around?

Celebrity news site TMZ discovered a taped conversation between Linda Hogan and her incarcerated son, Nick, that revealed the mother of the accused has little sympathy for the victim’s family.
Nick, who was convicted of reckless driving following a 2007 car crash that left his friend John Graziano critically injured, is currently serving eight months in a Florida jail. On the tape, Nick could be heard complaining about his jail time, telling his mother, “I’m just sitting here counting the minutes on my damn fingers,†before Linda took over the conversation.
“I just feel so bad that you’re there, because, truthfully Nick, you don’t deserve to be there and, ultimately, John doesn’t deserve to be where he is,†Linda assured her son. “But you know what? You guys were best friends, and (John’s mother) Debbie didn’t know you. Neither did (John’s father) Ed. They didn’t know you.â€
In fact, Linda doesn’t believe John’s parents even knew their own son very well. “I knew him better than his own mother knew him. Would you agree on that? I mean, anybody would agree.â€
Hulk’s soon-to-be ex even claimed her own grief is greater than that of the victim’s family. “(Debbie) has no other recourse other than to be nasty and vindictive now, because if she really knew you, if she really knew the relationship between you, John and (another friend), she’d be sad right now. She wouldn’t be mad. You know, she’d be devastated like I am. She’s not sad; she’s just acting angry, like she wants some money. John never meant anything to her or Ed. It’s sad because I really appreciated you kids, I miss John, and I miss you, too. It’s like she’s not suffering. I am. I have a loss. She didn’t give two sh–s.â€

Weighing in on her brother’s recent woes, Brooke Hogan took to her MySpace blog to set the record straight. Sort of. After claiming that Nick Bollea’s reckless driving trial, which ended in an eight-month jail sentence, was based on lies, Brooke deleted her message.
“I know most of the public thinks my brother is some rich little selfish kid, but NO ONE knows the real story and I’m really pissed that the truth didn’t come out from either side,†Brooke said in a post she labeled “BS.†“A LOT of lies were told in that trial. Believe me. And it wasn’t from us.â€
As for the Hogan family friend, John Graziano, who was critically injured in the crash last August, Brooke claimed, “John was NEVER home. He was at our house. ALL THE TIME. that should say enough….â€
Maintaining that cryptic tone, she continued, “Im not going to be out spoken right now, but If some s— doesn’t start getting straightened out, A lot of people are going to eat their words for lieing. I know all of the truth and I have back up. I never know how twisted this world could be but I’m starting to figure it out. And I’m gonna have to jump off my high road and tackle some ppl who are taking the low road.â€
Later Brooke deleted the message, as she’s apt to do, and replaced it with a new one entitled “wtvr.†In the revised post, Brooke only assured, “I have the truth on my side. And the truth will set everyone straight sooner or later. PEACE.†And, as a postscript, “yes I took my last one off cause I know itll go around anyway. Have at it ppl.â€

In an attempt to out-class himself the other day, which is a big feat mind you considering the dude wore a bandana to his son’s court date, Hulk Hogan and his wrestling buddies hit up Hooters to drink the sorrows away; And of course, for the wings.
TMZ says, Hulk Hogan drowned his sorrows in chicken wings at a local Hooters restaurant in Tampa, Florida today. Sources tell TMZ that the wrestling star was accompanied by close friend and former WWF wrestler Brian Knobbs of the Nasty Boys, wrestling manager Jimmy Hart and other family friends. The group dined on wings, beer and salad.Â
It amazes me that so many people have never tried the Hot Dog at Hooters. Every time I go, I have the Hot Dog. It’s awesome and blows away the wings.

Hulk Hogans son Nick Bollea is lubing up for jail. He has been sentenced to eight months for felony reckless driving, after the August 2007 car crash that left his friend critically injured.Bollea, 17, pleaded no contest to the charge, as part of a plea deal that meant he couldn’t serve more than one year in Pinellas County Jail. As well as the jail time, Bollea was also handed five years probation; his driver’s license has been suspended for three years; and he has been banned from drinking alcohol for five years.The sentence was handed out in court in Pinellas, Florida yesterday. The punishment stems from a horrific crash in Clearwater, Florida last year when Bollea drove his Toyota Supra into a palm tree at high speed. His passenger John Graziano suffered brain injuries, and is still receiving medical treatment.

TMZ is reporting that Nick Hogan is going to court tomorrow and is going to with plead no contest or guilty to felony reckless driving. The charge was a result of Nick Hogan racing another car and then crashing his own car and leaving his passenger John Graziano in a permanent vegetative state.
There was no deal involved and basically Nick Hogan will be throwing himself on the mercy of the court. Hey, it is a stand up move, and spares the entire family months of bad publicity that would come with an attempt to fight the charges.
Obviously I hope they are doing it because it is the right thing to do and not because they figured out they had no realistic chance of winning. This also makes the civil suit filed by the Graziano family almost a done deal as well since the standard of proof is much lower in a civil case.
Nick Hogan faces up to five years in jail, but I would imagine that the judge will not give him the full amount because he is coming in and pleading, and not attempting to fight the charges.
