Nick Hogan: Eight Months In Jail, Five Years Probation, Lifetime Of Regrets

Nick Bollea (I’m not going to call him Nick Hogan in this article, since that isn’t his real name) was in court today and the judge handed down sentencing:

Nick Hogan threw himself at the mercy of the judge today in Clearwater, FL in his felony reckless driving case — and he got just a lil’ bit. Hogan was sentenced to eight months in jail, five years’ probation and 500 hours community service, and the judge yanked his license for three years.

The judge also said no drinking for three years…and he also pointed out that not only is Nick underage but he will still be so once the three years is up.  He is also to spend one full day in “some positive framework” every month.  Not quite sure what that means, but it can’t be a bad thing.


But wait, there’s more…

Nick Hogan Trial Update - Gets 8 Months In County Jail, 5 Years Probation

The mysterious “k” will be covering this story in more depth later, but I wanted to give a quick update on the Nick (Bollea) Hogan/John Graziano car accident trial.

TMZ, reporting live from the courtroom.

Nick is being given 5 years of probation, 500 hours of community service, had his license revoked for 3 years (until he’s 21) for his culpability in an accident which left his friend John (an Iraq-war veteran) in a coma-like state.

Nick is being handled ever so lightly. Unbelievable. What about the booze that was in his system provided by his father Hulk Hogan earlier in the day?

Nick stares blankly at the judge, revealing the dumbass lurking behind his eyes. This Judge is really playing for the cameras, shut the F up and get on with it. Who do you think you are, Judge Ito?
Everybody wants to be a star.

Judge reading from Nick’s letter to the court. Nick wants to make up for his mistake.

*rolls eyes* Read Glosslip’s coverage for context to my disbelief on his sincerity.

Judge says Nick had a cavalier attitude towards his driving responsibility, but believes Nick is being sincere in his apologies, but that doesn’t take away the pain from John’s life being destroyed, and his family being heartbroken. Judge is going to incarcerate Nick. Here it comes: 8 months in the Pinellas County Jail.

Well, there you have it. That judge was MORE than fair considering the history of recklessness from this family.

Hulk Hogan And Brooke Work On Their Tans: Or, This Is Wrong On So Many Levels

Apparently Brooke Hogan can’t apply her own suntan oil, so she has daddy Hulk do it for her.  I take it they didn’t read my post the other day about the dangers of being fair and getting too much sun.  Oh yeah, and this is just creepy to look at.

Very few photos make me literally jump with surprise and fright, but these did.

Apparently Brooke got over her feelings of betrayal that her daddy was boinking her best friend…

They seem to be doing pretty well at playing happy families, although perhaps they should have taken this scene indoors.

What else can I say about these?  I need to go wash out my eyes with some Mercurochrome or something.

Hulk Hogan And Family Sued Over Accident

hogansteenchoice.jpg

It’s times like this I’m glad I grew up poor.  It was just a matter of time before somebody decided to hold the so-called parents of Nick Hogan Bollea Whatever accountable for both their actions and his.  The Grazianos, family of Nick’s passenger John Graziano, have officially sued the Hogans:

The suit, filed in Pinellas County Circuit Court, alleges that each of the defendants — Terry Bollea, a.k.a. Hulk Hogan, Linda Bollea, Nick Bollea and Daniel Jacobs [the other driver] – were negligent in the acts leading up to Graziano’s injury last summer.

The suit will seek damages in the millions, said attorney George Tragos, but the exact amount is not known because it remains unclear how expensive Graziano’s care will be. Tragos said the former Marine’s medical bills already exceed $1 million.

The crash left Graziano, an Iraq war veteran, in critical condition.

John Graziano remains in the hospital:

Lawyers today said that a portion of Graziano’s frontal lobe had to be removed because of the crash. He is in a “semi-conscious” state and responds to certain stimuli like heat and touch, lawyers said.

The proceeds from the suit would go into a trust for Graziano’s longterm care.

So much for Hulk Hogan’s words after the accident:

“[Nick’s] going to be okay. John’s going to be okay, and if things keep going the way they’re going…Nick and I are going to walk John right out of that hospital,” he said.


But wait, there’s more…

Graziano Family: Hogans, Stay Away

hogansvisithospital.jpg

For all of you who praised Nick Hogan Bollea Whatever and his family for visiting John Graziano in the hospital, where he lays in a coma after the horrific auto accident caused by Nick, I offer Exhibit A…the Graziano family, who are sick and tired of the Hogan family using their son as a publicity stunt:

Linda, Brooke and Nick Bollea are no longer welcome at the hospital bedside of John Graziano.

That’s because the trio went to the hospital on Valentine’s Day with gifts, and images of their arrival showed up on celebrity news Web sites, the Graziano family’s attorneys said Wednesday.

“We believe that it was a total (public relations) stunt,” said attorney Kimberley Kohn.

Dang…don’t these people ever wear just normal jeans and t-shirts?  Is that what people wear to the hospital nowdays?  “Oh, this stuff?  Yeah, we totally dress like this to sit around the house and run errands.  It certainly isn’t for a photo op.  High heels are so comfy to shop in and wear on slick hospital floors!”

It seems that when the Hogan trio went to visit John, laden down with goofy presents that he wouldn’t see (after all, the man is in a coma…while he might be able to hear and feel touches, he certainly isn’t looking around) and chocolates that he wouldn’t be eating, photos of their “good deed” ended up on various celeb websites.  The feeling is that this bunch needs all the good press it can get, seeing as how daddy Hulk can’t keep it in his pants, mom Linda is coming across as a terrible mother, and Brooke and Nick are…well, Brooke and Nick.  Do I really have to explain that one?

nickaccident1.jpg

This news is far removed from the original statements released by the Grazianos at the time of the accident:

“My son John has been very close to the Bollea family for over six years,” she wrote. “They are like extended family. Since day one of this nightmare, they have been with us physically, emotionally, mentally and financially.”

She added that Hulk, his wife, Linda, and Nick have been with the family at the hospital every day praying for John’s recovery and offering food and support.

“They came and faced our family and friends not knowing what response they would get,” said Graziano.

It seems that the family has finally had enough of the Hogans, just like the rest of the world:

Whether a lawsuit will be filed in the wreck is a question of when, not if, the family’s attorneys said. The family faces “astronomical” costs to care for Graziano in the future, attorneys said.

Hulk Hogan Did Some Extracurricular “Wrestling” With Daughter’s Friend

hulkpoint.jpg

Whatchoo gonna do, brutha, when your thang on the side tells all about you!

It’s bad enough when your father decides to do a little boinking on the side, it’s worse when it turns out to be one of your friends.  That’s the dilemma facing Brooke Hogan, because it seems her father, famous wrestler/reality TV star/permissive overindulgent father Hulk Hogan, did just that:

According to a tabloid report, Hulk Hogan, who is divorcing Linda Bollea after nearly twenty-five years of marriage, cheated on his wife with a female friend of his teen daughter Brooke.

Thirty-three year old Christiane Plante, who worked with nineteen year old Brooke on her 2006 LP, has confessed to her affair with the fifty-four year old dad of her friend in a snitching report with The National Enquirer.

Christine claims the affair took place in 2007 while the family was shooting their VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best:

“My relationship with Terry began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending. She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed. Terry is a good man, good father and a good friend, and he and I grew close at a time when he was going through a very difficult period. It seemed right then, but I know it was wrong. Having felt the guilt and pain build up, I gave a note to Brooke apologizing for my actions. I will never be able to fully forgive myself for this. I have lost an amazing friend.”

Hopefully the money she received for the interview she did with the National Enquirer will ease the pain she feels.  After all, nothing says “I’m sorry for banging your dad” like a few hundred thousand dollars worth of tell-all interview.  Unless it’s chocolates.

According to Perez, Brooke is rather upset about the whole thing:

Apparently Brooke is so distraught, she has even posted this ominous entry on her official blog.

i never thought…

Current mood: sad
Category: Life

When your best friend and one of your closest family members that you have loved unconditionally since your first day on this earth, betrays you together, you could MAYBE find it in yourself to forgive one day… but you will NEVER forget the hurt they caused you and how it hurt the people who mean the most to you…its the worst feeling in the world to be betrayed. And worse to know you can never trust the one you should be able to…

hulkbrooke.jpg 

“I never thought.”  Yeah, let’s stop right there, because that seems to be the motto of the Bolleas.  Maybe they should engrave that on the family crest, along with two crossed muscular arms, a wrecked automobile, a crushed beer can, a bottle of spray-tan, and a syringe of steroids.

Seriously…after all those steroids over the years, having an affair with the Hulkster is probably like trying to get it on with a jellybean.

Celebrity Conversation Hearts

neccohearts.jpgneccohearts.jpg

We here at GlossLip are not immune to the plethora of lovey-dovey sentiments that rain down on Valentine’s Day (or, as it is more commonly known, The Day Card, Chocolate, And Flower Companies Recoup All Their Losses For The Year Day).  So, we decided to see just which Conversation Hearts our favorite celebs might be receiving this V-Day.

And yes, these are actual sayings off actual Conversation Hearts that I purchased at an actual store and am actually munching on now.  I have sat here and laboriously picked through them, searching for just the right ones, drawing from a bowl purchased specifically for this auspicious occasion.  Oh, the sacrifices I make for my art.


But wait, there’s more…

Let’s Help Hulk Hogan Celebrate Wine And Mirth!

hulkmardigras.jpg 

Yesterday, as most of the United States watched Eli Manning and the New York Giants take down Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, New Orleans (any more “New” names?  Okay then, we can continue) took time out to have a parade, and guess who reigned as Bacchus?

Do you know what it means to be king in Orleans? Hulk Hogan, named King Bacchus by the Carnival group that first brought celebrities to lead their parades, said Friday that he was just starting to. 

“This is better than winning the World Wrestling Federation championship and slamming Andre the Giant!” he told a small crowd of patients, parents, doctors and other employees in a parking lot outside Children’s Hospital. “It’s just now hitting me how big this is and what an honor it is.”

He styled next to a huge plaque naming him Bacchus, god of wine and mirth, held up by krewe captain Owen “Pip” Brennan. […]

Each year the Krewe of Bacchus’ celebrity king visits Children’s Hospital to meet the patients. In a statement released Tuesday by Bacchus officials, the celebrity wrestler said one reason he accepted the offer to lead this year’s parade was Bacchus’ relationship with the hospital.

hulkmardigras1.jpgWell.  Isn’t that nice.  He can do good things for children in the hospital (and let me say that I in no way am belittling visiting children in the hospital), but he can’t take care of his own children or help them grow up to do things like, oh I don’t now, accept personal responsibility?  Or perhaps not supply alcohol to a party that teenage son Nick was at the day of his accident which put his friend, Marine John Graziano, in the hospital with life-threatening injuries?  You know the accident where Nick was found to have alcohol in his bloodstream?  (Now, before anyone jumps my butt, I didn’t say Hulk gave his son a beer, just that he supplied alcohol to a party that his son was at.  Any other conclusions, you’ll have to draw yourself.  You see, I have to say these things so that certain people can have what I did and did not say made clear to them.)

Chairman of the Crewe of Bacchus King Committee Michael Hunt (yeah, if I had that name I would want to be called “Michael”, too) defended his choice of 1980’s has-been wrestler and drunken-driver-father as its celebrity monarch:

Hunt is clearly frustrated with the knee-jerk criticism of the selection.

“People don’t know what goes into the process,” Hunt said. “We don’t sit around toasting marshmallows. It’s a very exact science.”

Hunt explained that he and a group of advisers begin by throwing celebrity names around. Then, he said, “as arrogant as it sounds, I deem if they’re worthy.” […]

Hunt wishes the public would trust his selection instincts. He points out that last year he presented TV mobster James Gandolfini at the height of his popularity. Though, he cryptically recalled, Gandolfini “did what most people should never do: believe that they are the god of wine.”

Hunt views the controversy surrounding his selection of Hogan as a perverse plus.

“Running Hulk Hogan is the perfect choice because it incites controversy,” he said. “Controversy isn’t always bad.”

Look up “irony” in the dictionary and you’ll find this.

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.

hogansupra.jpg

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.

The Hogan Knows Best No More, Wife Linda Files For Divorce From Hubby Hulk

hulklinda.jpg

Call this the latest casualty in the Nick Bollea/Hogan or whatever you call him, sad tale. Word on the street is Hulk Hogan’s wife Linda has filed for divorce from her husband of 24 years. While it’s too early to know the “exact” reasons for the break-up, suffice it to say, there’s been some strain on the relationship for some time. Mostly recently caused by their 17-year old son’s severe car accident in August.

nickbollea1.jpgNick was allegedly street-racing after he’d been drinking with his friend John Graziano, a marine who’d recently returned from Iraq, when he totaled his car on a busy Florida street. Nick’s friend John remains in a vegetative state at a V.A. hospital in Tampa. He is NOT expected to recover. More on the story here.

Matters were probably not helped much when recent video of mom Linda, along with daughter Brooke, emerged with the two women not only street-racing, but with Linda also extolling the virtues of street-racing. You can see the video here.

The classiest part of this whole story is the Hulk (real name Terry Bollea) didn’t even know his wife had filed. He had to find out from a St.Petersberg reporter about the filing:

According to the St. Petersburg Times, a Times reporter reportedly broke the news to Hogan on Friday night.

He thanked the reporter for the “great information” then called back five minutes later to say, “I’m kind of shocked. You caught me off-guard. My wife has been in California for about three weeks. … Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me. … I just pulled over to the side of the road for five minutes to find out what was going on here.”

Now that is what I like to call communication breakdown. Can you imagine finding out your spouse is leaving you via a reporter? Sweet Mother of Mercy, can’t a guy get a heads-up? I never liked Linda, she was always a big-mouthed broad with more make-up than smarts. Also a little short on class.

brookanddad.jpgNow their daughter Brooke, she’s the exact opposite. The epitome of natural grace and unsullied beauty.

Sorry for the bitterness, it’s just that I have this thing about famous people treating marriage like some kind of disposable item. What about “for better or worse, in sickness and in health, through thick and thin,” so on and so forth?

Britney Spears has more respect for her Venti Mocha Frappe with extra whipped cream (seriously, she LOVES those), than these people do the sanctity of love and marriage.

Ruining America they are!
