Did Hulk Hogan Buy Beer For His Son The Day Of The Accident?

hoganfamily2.jpg

If this is true, then this could be a HUGE development in the case against Nick Hogan Bollea Whatever and now, his famous father.  Apparently there is a receipt for beer purchased on the day of the wreck that put John Graziano, former Marine, in the hospital in an irreversible vegetative state:johngraziano1.jpg

New information includes:

  • A receipt from Albertson’s Liquor Store at 2:14 p.m. on the day of the accident for $78 of beer and ice. A clerk, June Hoopingarer, said Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, bought the beer and was accompanied by his son and several other young men. [...]

The report says Bollea and his friends spent the day of the accident on a boat with Hogan. Bollea’s friends, who are all at least 21 years old, were drinking beer. No one reported seeing Bollea drinking alcohol, although it was found in his system after the crash.

Jeremy T. Whitson, who is in charge of security of Shepard’s Beach Resort, told police Bollea and about seven other people got off a boat and tried to enter the tiki bar between 5 and 6 p.m. the day of the accident. He said Hogan stayed on the boat. All the people who got off the boat were clutching beer bottles except Bollea, who held a plastic cup. They were not allowed entry, according to Whitson, because they didn’t have identification that showed they were 21 or older.

Now, I want to point out that nobody actually SAW Nick drinking that day.  Nobody SAW him with a beer in hand.  Nobody SAW him do anything wrong.  Well, nobody that is talking about it, that is…because there are several young men who know what he was doing that day, plus his father, supposed “Real American” Hulk Hogan.  And don’t forget…at the time of the accident, Nick was seventeen years old.

But it really doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out the alleged actions of the people involved that day:

  • The Hulkster goes to a liquor store and buys beer and ice.
  • The Hulkster, his son, and his son’s friends go to a boat, where they spend the afternoon drinking.
  • Nobody outside of the party actually sees Nick drink anything illegal, but he is walking around with a plastic cup while everyone else has bottles of beer.
  • Later that day, once they leave the boat, Nick, his friend John, and two other men in a silver Viper are street racing down a city street when Nick loses control of his car and crashes into a tree.
  • At the hospital, Nick has his blood tested and it shows the presence of alcohol.

More specifically, the purchases included:

  • 2 cases of Miller Lite
  • 2 cases of Corona Extra
  • 1 case of Miller Chill
  • 5 bags of ice

Maybe, just maybe, there was a little window of time there after leaving the boat when Nick and John and their buddies could have came across some alcohol somewhere else.  But it is highly suspicious that he would spend the afternoon on a boat with his friends, who were drinking, and not drink himself, especially since he was found to have it in his system after the accident.

Also, a witness is reported as saying the cars were going 100 MPH in a 40 MPH zone before the crash:

Linda Berry-Robinson, the mother of Graziano’s girlfriend, told police she overheard Jacobs telling a pastor at Bayfront Medical Center that he was driving the Viper at more than 100 mph, according to the documents. [...]

At the hospital, Bollea told police he was traveling 30 or 40 mph. He also told police he didn’t know what road he was traveling on or what direction. His speech was “mumbled and soft” and his eyes bloodshot, according to Todd Turpack, a Clearwater police investigator who wrote the original report. [...]

A woman said she was on her way home from work at Morton Plant Hospital when the Supra and the Viper pulled up on either side of her at an intersection. The drivers “kind of acknowledged each other,” she said.

“The light turned green, and they hauled serious a–; they were weaving around,” she said. “The silver car smoked the yellow car, and the yellow car completely lost control and flipped over and turned and twisted.”

The witness said she stayed back because she didn’t want to get between the cars.

“I couldn’t have anyway,” she said. “They were flying.”

For his part, Nick has denied going 100 MPH before the accident.  But regardless of whether he was doing exactly 100 MPH or not, he obviously was going faster than 40 MPH.

So, if Hulk did in fact supply beer to his son, it beggars the question…what kind of parents does this kid have, anyway?  What sort of man is Terry Bollea, to give his underage son alcohol and then turn him loose with a 544-horsepower vehicle?  What kind of mom is Linda, to take her daughter street racing and then proclaim to the world juts how exciting it is to outrun cops?  I’ll tell you what kind…the kind who give their child everything on a silver platter, and then turn a blind eye to any sort of wrongdoing by their pwecious widdle baby.  The kind of parents who could make statements like this:nickgrill.jpg

“The most important thing to me was from all the eyewitnesses and everyone that was there and saw it was that they were not racing,” the former pro-wrestling superstar told The Insider. [...]

“It’s just so unfair,” added Hogan. “Just the way the media jumped on my son and just the way they portrayed him. From my gut, it’s something that has torn two families apart, and we’re just so close to John’s family. ” [...]

Citing the latter statement, Hogan reiterated that his son isn’t guilty of anything.  “I’m trying to tell my son to stay strong, because at the end of the day, when all the facts are in, it was an accident,” he said.

What a pompous prick.  No, Terry, the most important thing is that a young man’s life was cut short because of your son’s stupidity, and it appears now because of your indulgence and bad parenting.  Yes, it was an accident…a preventable accident, because had they not been racing and had there not been alcohol involved, there’s a distinct possibility the accident would never have happened.

I’m serious.  This whole thing makes me sick.  If this is true, I hope they throw Terry UNDER the jail.

Julia Roberts Needs Handicapped Parking, She’s Apparently Blind

juliahandicapped.jpg

We are not above making fun of America’s beloved Julia Roberts. Sure she’s the original “Firecrotch” but she’s also a known homewrecker, runaway bride, serial birthgiver and now apparently, a handicap.

Pretty woman Roberts and her cameraman hubby Danny Moder were out shopping in Malibu yesterday and their lazy, selfish, inconsiderate arses used a designated handicap space typically reserved for people with some sort of disability or mobility issues.

Yes, I realize that this is a petty complaint, but come on, you don’t live your life trying to perpetuate some kind of sweet and innocent persona and then turn around and use the handicap spots to go shopping. Honestly Julia, that’s what the Associate of The Month parking spot it for.

Divas!

Lindsay Lohan’s Career Takes A Back Seat To Partying

lindsaynylon.JPG

Last night, I caught the last 20 minutes of Just My Luck on cable as I was waiting for American Idol to come on. It was, as they say, time NOT well spent. I have always considered Lindsay a talented actress, but a bit immature and misguided. Well it seems that was a grave miscalculation on my part. She’s a lot immature and terribly misguided.

She is right about one thing though, she should be allowed to blow off steam, go out and dance with her friends. Live it up a bit if she wishes. She’s young and that’s really what youth is for. By the time you are in your 30’s people don’t want to see you out partying every night, and truthfully, your body just doesn’t recover like it used to.

This however doesn’t mean that you can have your cake and eat it too.

Lindsay is living under some kind of delusional misconception that she can be an irresponsible younster and still be taken seriously as an actress. In the last year alone, Lohan has dropped out of four different film projects, and was publicly chided for her unethical behavior on the set of the ONE she did show up for. The latest drama involving Lindsay’s faltering acting career is the Dylan Thomas film (The Best Time Of Our Lives) that she was set to star in with Keira Knightley - certainly a name anyone in the film industry would want the opportunity to star in a film with.

Say what you want about Keira’s eating habits, she is respected for her acting. Let us not forget, Ms. Knightley also stars in the summer’s most anticipated film, Pirates of The Carribean: At World’s End, and who wouldn’t want the opportunity to have their name associated with that kind of starpower?

Apparenlty not Sienna Miller. She cheerfully took Lindsay’s place in the Dylan Thomas film after Lohan backed out at the last minute due to “contract changes.” A brief recap: this is the fourth film Lohan has dropped out of. According to this article, all three of previous bailings were under dubious excuses, ranging from “too busy, recovering from rehab” (Woman Of No Importance with Anette Benning)” “not interested in projects with no big names ” (Bill, directed by two up and coming director Bernie Goldmann and Meliss Wallack)” and she was dropped for a film penned after a Tennesee Williams story, The Loss Of A Teardrop Diamond, for as of yet undisclosed reasons.

That should bring us up to speed, with exception of her Georgia Rule fiasco, which we mentioned above, resulted in some severe criticism from the Morgan Creek execs and her fellow cast members. Oh, and of course she took a brief hiatus (to attend rehab) from shooting her film I Know Who Killed Me, surely jeopardizing that film’s budget and staff. And now, The Best Time Of Our Lives (also starring the hot Cillian Murphy) makes it quattro failure.

As I stated earlier, Lohan’s camp used “contract changes” as the excuse for backing out a mere week before production was to begin, yet according to a “not so blind item” on Perez Hilton’s site, it seems that something much for scandalous was the root cause. From the post:

What recently rehabbed hard-pAArtying actress was fired from her latest movie, though she claims she dropped out, because she refused to comply with the producers’ demand of mandatory drug testing????

Hey, I am no Mensa member, but I can figure that one out. How much you wanna bet this story surfaces again but with names being mentioned that rhyme with “Frenzy Blohan.” I’m just pointing out the obvious. If drug testing is truly the reason for Lindsay dropping out, then her being replaced by Sienna Miller is a shocker. In case you didn’t know, Sienna is an admitted drug-dabbler — but she also has reputation for showing up and doing her job.

And of course there’s these recent telling statements from an interview in Nylon. An interview that was set to take place a week earlier in LA where the writer was to meet Lindsay, only to discover the day of the interview that Lindsay was in NY. Why? Because her little brother and sister wanted her to stay. Ahh, the whimsy. Here’s some excerpts:

Lindsay discusses her role as a stripper in I Know Who Killed Me:

“I don’t think that there has been a role for an actress like this movie was for me in so long…At first I was like ‘I can’t do this, I’m getting my leg cut off. I don’t want to look like that in scenes, I want to look decent!’ But that was just just me being young and stupid. And I have my first sex scene in it, which I always said I wouldn’t do…I wanted to this movie so people can see that I’m a f@#%ing actress and I’ve been doing it forever and it’s about time people see that. It felt so good to really act.”

Lindsay on the photogs:

“I get embarrassed about the paparazzi if I’m in a chic restaurant, or when I was in the AA meetings. I felt very disrespectful because those people are doing that for themselves and it’s no one elses’ business. But that was the only time it was embarrassing–other times, I obviously like it I wouldn’t ever want them to not take my picture. I’d be worried. I’d be like, ‘Do people not care about me?’”

When you couple her recent track record with her rambling vignettes of incoherency and manic logorreah, the now infamous interview in Nylon magazine, a central theme keeps blinking in neon lights: “Lindsay Lohan’s Blowing It, Lindsay Lohan’s Blowing It” and by blowing it, I mean B-L-O-W-I-N-G I-T!

Take that anyway you want.

Britney Spears Continues To Embarr-ass Herself

britneyheehaw.JPG 

The saying “be seen, not heard” especially applies to Britney Spears.  The recently rehabbed and morphing Spears just can’t seem to keep her mouth shut even if it’s in her best interest.

Her latest move to fire (publicly, of course) her long-time manager, Larry Rudolph, couldn’t have come at a worse time.  Spears’ reputation and status has taken some major hits lately.  Not only did she go off the rails for two months right before our watchful eye, but she kicked and screamed her way into rehab — the only thing that seems to have broken her of her partying ways. Her endless need to blame everyone else for her problems and her inability to see the deep flaws within herself are going to be her undoing.

Now, in the wake of Rudolph being fired, Britney’s family have come to his defense and are once again appealing to the media to see past Britney’s b.s. and see the storm brewing within.  Britney’s dad Jamie Spears issued this statement about Rudolph’s firing:

“When Larry Rudolph talked Britney into going into rehab, he was doing what her mother, father and team of professionals with over 100 years of experience knew needed to be done. She was out of control. Larry was the one chosen by the team to roll up his sleeves and deliver the message, to help save her life.  The Spears family would like to publicly apologize to Larry for our daughter’s statements about him over the past few weeks. Unfortunately, she blames him and her family for where she is at today with her kids and career. Larry has always been there for Britney. For this, we will forever be grateful to him.”

And of course Britney, via her spokeswhore Leslie Sloane Zelnick (who also reps Lindsay Lohan, go figure) released this retort:

“I am praying for my father. We have never had a good relationship. It’s sad that all the men that have been in my life do not know how to accept a real woman’s love. I am concentrating on my work and my life right now.”

Brit goes one step further and has a “pal” (yeah, a real pal) say this on her behalf:

“[Britney]had no drugs in her system when she was admitted to Promises - they [tested her] and there was nothing. She was embarrassed she had to go in there when she knew she was suffering from postpartum depression, not a drug or alcohol problem. As for the head-shaving incident, the friend continued, “Britney’s aunt had just died of cancer. She was feeling very guilty because she hadn’t been there with her, she was overwhelmingly depressed and she shaved her head in solidarity.”

Veracity at its finest.  And this wouldn’t be complete without Larry Rudolph’s side of things:

A pal of Rudolph tells Page Six, “Britney obviously has a lot of issues . . . Larry’s trying to lay low and letting her act out, but . . . he doesn’t want to see her wind up like Anna Nicole Smith. He won’t get into a public fight with her - yet. This is about saving her from herself.”

Personally Larry Rudolph’s track record speaks for itself, he made Britney the superstar she once was (with one exception: introducing Brit to Paris *rolls eyes*).  And Britney chose to flush it down the toilet.  He should back off and let her make her own mistakes.  If she winds up choking in a pool of her own vomit, well, that would suck, but it wouldn’t be because people didn’t try to help her.  She needs to stop acting like a dumb hick, y’all. 

My sympathy has left the building.

Joe Francis Continues His Losing Streak, Smuggles Drugs, Bribes Guard For Bottle Of Water

joe2.JPG 

This has been the greatest week ever!  The most hated man in my world, Joe Francis, is in so much trouble he can’t bribe his way to a bottle of water.  But it didn’t stop him from trying.  Not only is the Girl’s Gone Wild pervert behind bars for contempt of court, but he’s also been indicted on tax evasion and fraud charges.  And just when you thought he couldn’t prove to be a more shady piece of crap, he’s caught with drugs in jail and tries to bribe a guard with $500 for a bottle of water.

From People magazine, because they say it better than I could:

  • Francis offered the guard $100 for a bottle of water on Wednesday evening. When guard turned him down, Francis showed him $500, investigators said. Jail inmates are not allowed to have cash.
  • Supervisors then searched Francis’s cell and discovered 16 prescription medications, including Lunesta – a sleeping pill – and the anti-anxiety medication lorazepam, court records show.
  • After learning of the new charges, Francis waived his right to a bond hearing for the contempt of court charge on which he’d been jailed, the AP reports. He wept as his mother blew him a kiss as he was led from a federal court room back to his cell.  “I didn’t do anything,” Francis told his parents as he was led away, according to the Panama City News Herald.
  • The new charges include bribing a public servant, three counts of possessing a controlled substance and five counts of introducing contraband into a detention facility.
  • The AP reports that Francis could face up to five years in prison for the alleged crimes, which are third-degree felonies.


But wait, there’s more…

Courtney Love Denies Weight-Loss Surgery, Has Difficulty With The English Language

courtneymaui.JPGcourtney3.JPG

When pictures of the newly slim Courtney Love surfaced a couple of weeks ago mouths dropped.  The initial stories were favorable of her healthier look, especially since the rocker has looked bloated and unkept for the last few years.  But then more pictures surfaced of her from her vacation in Hawaii and the celeb magazines and blogs took a closer look.  The skin around Ms. Love’s stomach seemed pouchy, and some speculated liposuction caused the saggy appearance, and some even went so far as to say gastric bypass surgery caused her the weightloss. 

Courtney has maintained that she stuck to a rigid diet and excercise regime consisting of lean protein, steamed veggies and yoga, supplemented with Isopure shakes - and the result was a loss of 44 pounds since December.  I accept her explanation.  Gastric bypass is for enormous fatties, not someone considered merely “chubby”.  As for the saggy skin, that’s simple.  Losing weight quickly will cause your skin to sag, giving further evidence that her weightloss was done the hard way.  Do you really think she would go to all that trouble and not get some surgery to improve the look of her stomach?  Really now. 

Anyway, I’d say Courtney’s real issue isn’t the rumors or speculation about her weightloss, but rather her inability to string a sentence together.  Here’s what is believed to be Courtney’s response to the tabs talking about her “surgery” on a Courtney Love fan site (prepare yourself this isn’t pretty):
But wait, there’s more…

Thora Birch’s Sex Scene Scandal

 thora.JPG

The internet is abuzz over a story involving young actress Thora Birch and her dad acting like a total jackhole on the set of her new film, Winter Of Frozen Dreams. Apparently while filming a sex scene, Thora’s dad and manager Jack Birch demanded to be present, despite standard procedure being a closed set for such types of intimate scenes. An insider on the set said this about Thora’s sex scene with actor Dean Winters:

“It was so wrong. The director is saying, ‘Harder! Faster!’ and the father is giving Winters the thumbs up.”

There’s also some concern over Jack Birch bullying the director Eric Mandelbaum about camera angles, and on the first day of shooting the sex scene the insider stated: “All of a sudden, the front door is being kicked in. Her father was threatening to kill the assistant directors. Then he threatens to pull her from the movie with three days of shooting left.”

Jack Birch’s demeanor is both bizarre and unpleasant, and he’s described as looking “like Charles Manson,” wearing a “full-length leather coat and wraparound sunglasses, even at night” and in a review for an old movie he did  “Road of Death” (1973) he’s described as “a muscle-stud . . . so unphotogenic you can’t take your eyes off him.”

Oh, and he’s an old school porn star who met Thora’s mother Carol Connors on the set of their claim to fame film “Deep Throat.”

So, really, if you think about it, having parents who are porn stars is like the equivalent to having parents who are serial killers.  All the notoriety you could want, plus they aren’t in jail.  Why anyone is surprised that her dad acts like a freaking pervert and a digusting pedophile is beyond me.  Chances are pretty good that he is one.  Scandal solved.

Baby No.2 For Tom Brady? Is Gisele Pregnant Too?

tombrady.JPG 

According to this story, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, 29, may have two on the way.  One with former girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan, 36 and now with model Gisele Bundchen, 26.  If you toggle those numbers they equal Gisele’s measurements, and if you add them, my IQ.

This guy’s like a regular Kevin Federline. But with a job, minus the wigger attire and wangsta appeal.  And hot, let’s not forget that.

But does supermodel Gisele want children?  Apparently so, but maybe not this soon.

“I’d be lying if I said [I didn't want a family] — my parents have been married for 35 years and have six children,” Gisele said. “Thing is, I’m just 26 years old, so I have plenty of time.”

The original source, a Brazilian gossip site (I don’t read Spanish, sorry), translated by the bi-lingual Boston.com states that Gisele may be as much as two months pregnant and has only shared the news with a few select members of family and friends, who btw, should not be expecting a baby-shower invitation.  Damn, people just can’t seem to shut it.

This could either be a huge coup for Brady in his bid to become sperminator of the year, or a major blow in his efforts to hang on to his hard-earned cash.  Either way, he better get that arm warmed up to play some serious catch with the little ones.  Oh, and with his new kids too.
