Hulk and his current wife, Jennifer McDaniel

I can’t properly explain how vile and annoying I find the Hogan family, but I think vile captures how I feel better than just annoying. If you’d like some background, this single interview with Hulk, in which he calls it “God’s will” that a victim of his son’s drag racing ended up in a vegetative state for life, pretty much sums it up. Hulk’s ex Linda Bollea isn’t immune from criticism either, and I generally find the whole family distasteful. So that’s why it’s mildly amusing to hear that Hulk is suing Linda for claiming in her memoir that Hulk cheated on her with one of his male wrestling buddies, and for writing that he regularly physically abused her. To make it clear: abuse is not funny. Hearing of this stupid family fighting in court is.

Relations between ex-spouses are often strained, but in the case of Hulk Hogan — aka Terrance Gene “Terry” Bollea — and Linda Bollea, things are getting downright ugly.

As the Telegraph is reporting, Bollea recently claimed that Hogan is gay and had an affair with wrestler Brutus Beefcake. She also accused the wrestler of being prone to violent, threatening outbursts during their marriage.

US Weekly notes that in her memoir, “Wrestling The Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes,” Bollea writes, Hogan “…tore my clothes, threw lamps, and held me down on the bed with his hands around my throat during arguments… I was always afraid he would kill me in one of his rages.”

The revelation of Hogan’s supposed affair with Beefcake occurred while she was promoting the book.

Thursday Hogan fired back by filing an 18-page civil suit against Bollea claiming he was defamed reports the St. Petersburg Times.

Hogan’s attorney, Wil Florin, told to the paper, “He’s being accused of all sorts of vile conduct that he did not commit,” adding, “Miss Bollea’s made enough of these outrageous allegations that it’s time they stop. The only realistic way of making them stop is through the court system.”

Hogan himself said:
“If any of that was true, I would admit it, and (if) I was a homosexual I would embrace it. It’s just so crazy to hear, so I have a real problem with it… If you’re going to say I’m something that I’m not to try to ruin my career and my livelihood… I have to answer her back. It’s so ridiculous. I don’t mean to laugh about it, because it’s not funny. But it’s insane. It doesn’t make any sense to me.”

Also, check out this video of Hulk denying he’s gay and then using the “my best friends are gay” line. He denies abusing Linda by claiming that if he did there would be evidence of it and she would have called 911. He doesn’t say “I didn’t hurt her.” He says “If I would have done anything physical,” then there would have been more evidence. I think he did abuse her. It’s also so nasty how he brags about his current wife, the one who looks just like his daughter, at the end. Linda also has a much younger partner, a 22 year-old kid who went to high school with her son. I hope that both Linda and Hulk incur huge legal fees from this fight. I really don’t care who wins though.

On Friday, we had the new photos of Hulk Hogan celebrating his 58th birthday by going to a PETA-sponsored exhibit of nude photos of his daughter, Brooke. The alone was pretty gross, but it was made more disgusting by the face that Brooke posed for too many photos making kissy-faces at her father, and he, in turn, posed for pics by putting his hands on his daughter’s nude photos. Well, Brooke has listened to our collective icks, and she thinks we all need to just STFU and go home.

Brooke Hogan has lept to the defence of her wrestler father Hulk and says they are not in a ‘perverted relationship’.

The 23-year-old recently took her father to the unveiling of her nude PETA photoshoot in Miami which only helped to fuel negative rumors about their closeness. But Brooke says she is fed up of people being suggestive about them and wants it to stop.

‘Im SO sick of people saying me and my dad are in some perverted relationship,’ Brooke posted on her Twitter page yesterday.

Hulk feigned embarrassment when he saw his daughter lying naked behind bars as part of the Women In Cages exhibition last Thursday. But this is not the first time the purity of their relationship has been called into question. Back in 2008, photographs of the 58-year-old wrestler rubbing sunscreen on Brooke’s upper thighs as she lay on a sun lounger by the pool caused a furor online.

Hulk supervising Brooke’s semi-nude Maxim shoot that same year did little to quell the rumors.

Brooke tweeted to her ‘haters’ that they should mind their own business. ‘Go home and do your own thing!’ she tweeted. ‘Stop picking on me!’

The professional wrestler, real name Terry Gene Bollea, did what any protective parent would do and placed his hands over her body to cover up her modesty when he first saw the picture on Thursday.

[From The Mail]

Are we picking on her? Really? When you pose nude for a PETA photography exhibit, invite your father (on his birthday) to see those photos, and then proceed to act inappropriately around him while posing for photos – something that has happened several times before, mind you – are WE the ones with the problem, Brooke?

Here are some new photos of Brooke over the weekend. Here’s a note to all of the bottle blondes out there: when your hair blends in with the white sails of a sailboat, it’s time to go for a darker blonde.

Hulk Hogan celebrated his 58th birthday last night by taking his 20-something blonde girlfriend to see his 20-something blonde daughter’s nude photo exhibit. You think I’m joking. I’m not. Ordinarily, I’d rather eat death than write about Hulk Hogan or anyone vaguely related to Hulk Hogan, but this was simply too ridiculous to pass up. Brooke Hogan had posed for a photo series called, I kid you not, “Women In Cages”. It was sponsored by PETA, because… you know, animals are kept in cages, so how best illustrate that point than by getting Brooke to take off her clothes and pose inside a cage? For real. And her dad came out to see it, on his birthday! Because what father wouldn’t want that for his birthday?

And there’s all of the kissy-faces that Brooke always makes around her dad. Okay, surely someone is with me? This is gross, right? I’m not the most physical person, especially with my parents, so maybe that’s why this is so gross to me. But I cannot imagine being an adult woman and making kissy-faces at my father.

By the way, Hulk recently called into a BBC radio show, and he had some thoughts on the London riots:

“I just heard what’s going on in the streets, man, and I thought just maybe Hulkamania should run over there, start dropping legs, start hitting people with big boots and just stop the action. Let’s rethink, brother, rethink this whole thing and get these kids together and change their thinking in a positive direction and break the cycle of this craziness of where they were raised and where they’re at. Everyone’s got a story, which is ‘So what?’ but what now? That’s what needs to be done. Change the direction of the youth over there. Everybody wants the kids to get back on track. It doesn’t matter if Hulk Hogan’s over there, body-slamming all the youth like I did Andre the Giant. But at the end of the day we need to grab these kids, shake ‘em and say stop. Just regroup – look at yourself in the mirror and say, ‘Is this what you want the mirror image of your life to be? Is this what you want your destiny to be?’ Now it’s time to change directions, even if the state has to step in and really focus on getting these kids back on track, brother, but you know what? I will do anything, because I love my UK Hulkamaniacs, brother.”

I can’t. I won’t even start.

Hulk Hogan, 57, married his longterm girlfriend, Jennifer McDaniel, in an intimate beachfront ceremony at his home in Clearwater, Florida last night. McDaniel, 35, bears a striking resemblance to Hulk’s 22 year-old daughter Brooke, but is much more age-appropriate for Hulk than his ex wife, Linda Bollea’s fiance. Bollea, 51, is engaged to a 21 year-old boy who is a former schoolmate of her 20 year-old son, Nick. There’s a lot of weirdness going on in this family. Bollea wasn’t invited to Hulk’s wedding and he seems to have beaten her to the aisle. (She’s probably not in a hurry to get married anyway, considering that she’ll probably give up the $40,000 a month Hulk pays her in alimony.)

The happy event was not without it’s setbacks, with Hulk’s security guards roughing up a photographer and cops called to the scene. It all sounds typical for a Hogan gathering. The good news, I guess, is that Hulk and McDaniel had a prenup, so when this relationship goes south Hulk might not go totally off the rails. Also, Hulk’s ex Linda is writing a book. The idiot should have secured a gag order along with that hefty settlement he paid her.

While the couple was exchanging vows at an intimate ceremony in Hulk’s backyard, which lasted no more than two minutes according to one insider, Hulk’s hired help grappled with the shutterbug who was trying to snap shots of the happy couple.

“Hulk’s security team was in the background throwing around the paparazzi who was standing 200 feet away in the shoreline water,” said one source.

RadarOnline.com has confirmed cops were called but no one was arrested.

However, a source close to the photographer tells us he later filed a complaint with the Clearwater Police Department, alleging assault, battery and destruction of property.

“Hulk’s snappy wedding clip just might be subpoenaed since they are in the background punching it out!” added the insider.

“The paparazzo wants charges filed and plans to sue for physical, financial and emotional distress.”

As RadarOnline.com previously revealed, Hogan suddenly decided to marry McDaniel after securing the all-important prenuptial agreement.

Said our source: “Jennifer got wind of ex wife Linda Hogan’s new book My Life on the Ropes which will allege a number of Hulk’s affairs and infidelities.”

[From Radar Online]

In terms of what Linda might be covering in that book, McDaniel wasn’t the first woman that Hulk took up with. He also cheated on Linda with a 33 year-old who just happened to be his daughter’s best friend at the time. That mistress, Christiane Plante, was a brunette though. Hulk ended up marrying the mannish blonde who looked just like his daughter instead of staying with his daughter’s friend.

Hulk flash is at 1:10

DListed got ahold of this video of Brooke and Hulk Hogan making you never want to play or purchase a new singalong video game called Def Jam Rap Star. While rapping along to Notorious B.I.G., Brooke wags her ass in short shorts. The scene then cuts to Hulk pulling aside his shorts to (presumably) flash his manhood to the camera. Thankfully it’s all covered by a black box that’s unnecessarily large. (Yes I stole that concept from DListed.) You know that thing is shrunken to pea-size from years of steroid use. Hulk is just trying to show off, but it’s disturbing. Brooke looks shocked and then amused, which might indicate that she hasn’t seen it before, although that’s doubtful.

By having Hulk flash his junk, they got us to watch this minute and a half commercial. Now that we know this video game has Hogan taint on it we’ll stay far away, thank you. Do you remember the incident in which Hulk was photographed putting some lotion on Brooke’s butt? Brooke later defended that scene by comparing her ass to an “old car.” What’s her dad’s dick then? No, really, all the metaphors I can come up with sound dirty to me and I’m scared to even mention them. Ok, tootsie roll, twig, week-old 7-11 hotdog, earthworm, string bean,lady finger, cucumber sandwich. We should go with one of the inedible choices.

Hulk, his girlfriend and daughter. Guess which one is which.

Words cannot express what a self important hurtful douche Nick Hogan is – so I’ll let his actions speak for themselves. The guy put his friend, who was the passenger in hiscar, in a permanent vegetative state when he caused a near fatal accident while drag racing drunk on a public street. Nick and his family later all but blamed his friend, then 22 year-old former Marine and Iraq war veteran John Graziano, by pointing out that Graziano wasn’t wearing his seat belt and later stating that the accident was God’s will to make him a better person.

Nick spent five months out of an eight month sentence in jail for his part in in the accident, but by most of his family’s accounts it wasn’t as horrific an experience as it should have been as he was housed in a juvenile unit. He got out and went back to racing cars and being an asshole again while the Graziano family struggled to care for their permanently disabled son.

Now Nick wants us to know that he’s doing better after all that he went through. Are you f’ing kidding me?

“After everything I’ve been through, I am finally getting my life together,” he told RadarOnline.com, in an exclusive interview.

“I am able to move forward and start over.”

Nick — real name Nick Bollea — was released from jail after serving 166 days for the car crash that left his best friend John Graziano in a vegetative state for life.

After training to become a pro wrestler and follow in his father’s footsteps, Nick has now settled on a career in music, as a DJ.

He said, “I didn’t know what to do with myself, I did a couple of movies and then one day I ended up in front of a set of turn tables and I loved it.

“I was in Florida at the time hanging with DJ IRIE and he asked me to come and play the new DJ Hero video game that had just come out.

“I loved it so much that my sister bought me a real turn table and I didn’t look back. I just fell in love with it.”

He is currently touring the United States with his performance partner, DJ PM; the pair has upcoming shows in New York, Pennsylvania, San Jose, Stockton, Modesto and Chicago.

“I am on tour across the US now with DJ PM and it is amazing,” he told RadarOnline.com.

“We have really good chemistry, we pick up on each other’s energy and that makes things a lot easier when we spin,” DJ PM said.

Hogan said his divorced parents, Hulk and Linda, were supportive his new career path and his new-found desire to turn over a new leaf.

“They are thrilled I can earn a living and take care of myself outside corporate America,” Nick said.

“That said, my father has his own worries: he just came out of the hospital because he has had some very serious back problems.

“He has endured six back surgeries and he still has a lot of pain and the pain killers don’t help a great deal.”

[From Radar Online]

Nick may have “been able to move forward and start over” but his friend will require 24 hour care for the rest of his life while this douche walked away unscathed. I’m sorry that Hulk has back problems, but that’s pretty much the result of his career choice. It’s not like he’s had any understanding words for the Graziano family after what his son did. I don’t wish pain on anyone but sometimes you don’t feel a lot of sympathy for certain people.

Last week we heard from the National Enquirer that Hulk Hogan’s ex wife, Linda Hogan, 50, was engaged to be married to her much younger boyfriend, a 21 year-old who happened to be a schoolmate of her daughter. While Hulk’s initial response to his wife’s January-December romance was a rage so great that he claimed to “totally understand OJ” and the fact that he “allegedly” committed double murder, his reaction to an engagement is much more positive. Linda’s lookalike lover is looking less like competition and more like a legal way to avoid hefty alimony payments. Linda and her fiance plan to marry on her ironically-named boat named “Alimoney.” Are they going to change to the name of the boat once the checks stop coming in? Will the young buck continue to appreciate his bride’s rough beauty as her wealth dwindles down post-marriage? The mind boggles:

Hulk Hogan and ex-wife Linda Hogan seem to have buried the hatchet. The wrestler added his well wishes regarding Linda’s recent engagement to 21-year old Charlie Hill.

“I’m ecstatic for her, I’m very happy for them. I think they’re perfect for each other. I wish them the best,” he said in an exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com.

Hill is one year younger than Linda and Hulk’s daughter Brooke and was friends with their son Nick. He started dating Linda when he was 19.

Hulk’s attorney David Houston echoed Hogan’s sentiment, touching on the couple’s contentious split and how they’ve seemed to move on from that dark period: “Obviously, when you go through a divorce, there is a great deal of emotion and you go through your ups and downs. He was married to her for 23 years so there is a certain degree of affection and he does wish her the best.”

Linda and Charlie’s wedding reportedly is slated for next summer aboard her yacht named ‘Alimoney’ [sic].

How much do you want to bet that these two are shopping a reality show? They’re not getting married to cement their love, they’re marrying to cement and cash in on their D-list status. It’s not a bad idea actually. I don’t know much about Charlie but I doubt he has many career prospects beyond sleeping with his friend’s trans-looking mom. It’s not like he’s been going to college on the side during the over two years they’ve been together. If it wasn’t for a reality show, a drunken disabling car crash and inappropriate relationships we’d barely hear about this trashy family.

Back when Linda and Hulk Hogan split in 2007, both of them moved on with creepily inappropriate relationships with much-younger friends of their children. In Hulk’s case he may have helped hasten the end of their relationship by cheating with his daughter’s best friend, an 33 year-old woman named Christiane Plante who at least was old enough to be well on the other side of jailbait. He then dated and is now engaged to a 36 year-old woman named Jennifer McDaniel, who is a dead ringer for his daughter, Brooke. (photos below)

Linda, now 50, didn’t bother to make her new lover age-appropriate, and started sleeping with a then 19 year-old friend of her morally bankrupt son, Nick. Over two years later and Linda and her equally bleached blonde boy toy are still together. This month they’ve been photographed kissing, protesting (below), and out on her boat, appropriately named “Alimoney.” According to The National Enquirer, these two are so devoted to each other that they’re going to tie the knot! Good luck with that.

Linda Hogan, 50, is getting hitched to her 21-year-old toyboy lover Charlie Hill, friends of the couple told The Enquirer exclusively.

The couple recently became engaged and are planning to wed next summer aboard her new 50-foot yacht, which she named “Alimoney.”

The Hulkster has long been upset over his wife’s May-December relationship, but pals say Linda is happier than ever since splitting with her cheating husband.

[From The National Enquirer, print edition, August 2, 2010]

It’s pretty clear from the tone of the article that the source is Linda’s camp, since it paints Hulk as a jealous depressed creep while she’s the picture of happiness and contentment. Hulk did make some really terrible threatening comments in the wake of his divorce, as the Enquirer points out, and said “You… see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife . . . I totally understand OJ. I get it.” Maybe now that Hulk has a replacement he’s not as hung up on murder scenarios involving his drag-queen looking dried-up ex wife. I don’t at all get how she was able to keep an attractive young guy on the hook for so long, but there must be some mommy issues there. That’s not a Demi/Ashton age difference, that’s a Madonna/Jesus age difference and it seems all shades of wrong, no matter how tall and built the guy is.

Hulk Hogan was viciously “attacked” while in Australia today. I use the quotation marks because it was the fakest attack ever, though a lot of the press is buying it. I’m not, because I’m a jaded, cold-hearted bitch. And because it was cheesy and obvious and involved some really bad acting. I think Hulk’s blood might have been real, although there was a bit too much of it.

Anyhoo, Hulk was in Australia to promote his wrestling tour, “Hulkamania: Let The Battle Begin.” Conveniently, while promoting wrestling, Hulk was attacked! What are the odds? By his rival, Ric Flair! And it followed some “your wife is so ugly, her birth certificate was an apology letter from the condom factory”-type barbs. The next thing we know, Hulk is getting slapped upside the head. Now admittedly (thankfully), I’ve never been slapped. But I’m under the impression that it doesn’t normally result in blood, and when it does, it’s not this much. But here you go, judge for yourself.

Hulk Hogan sported a crimson mask of blood as he was escorted by pal Brian Knobs after being attacked by his wrestling rival, “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, during a news conference in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday.

The event was to promote his upcoming wrestling tour, Hulkamania: Let The Battle Begin. The hysteria erupted as the pair of wrestling legends traded barbs at the pulpit to hype the upcoming shows. When Hogan turned his head way from Flair — who is aptly nicknamed “The dirtiest player in the game” — Flair laid a cheap shot in on the 56-year-old reality TV star, before getting in a few jabs once the Hulkster was down.

Hogan will have a chance of revenge when he dusts off his yellow and red wrestling gear for the tour, which begins Nov. 24 in Melbourne. Other notable wrestlers scheduled for action on the tour are Diamond Dallas Page, and some of the Hulkster’s Hogan Knows Best cronies Brutus Beefcake and The Nasty Boys as well as Rikishi, Umaga and Val Venis.

Flair, 60, is wrestling for the first time since losing a much ballyhooed “retirement” match for WWE in March 2008, which drew more than 74,000 fans to Florida’s Citrus Bowl. We don’t think WWE owner Vince McMahon can be too thrilled about Flair’s swift — and lucrative — return to action.

[From Radar]

How fortunately timed. When you watch the video, you can hear someone’s voice – it’s hard to tell whose, but I think it’s Hulk’s – yelling over and over again, “What are you doing Rick?” In the worst over-acting, akin to a middle school drama club. The reporter in the clip below clearly felt badly, admitting he thought it was staged and was laughing. Until – of course – Rick Flair starts screaming at him. But remember, this is all real! Be scared! Boo!

Luckily, the auspicious Chicago Sun-Times agrees with me. Even though TMZ thinks is buying it.

Hulk Hogan may be 56-years-old but he’s still making the rounds in the wrestling world. The aging star was involved in what was clearly a staged attack during a media event in Australia this week. Some of the assembled news media, there to cover a promotion for Hulk Hogan’s next event, seemed to be fooled by the skit. The video below shows the encounter and the bloody aftermath.

[From the Chicago Sun-Times]

All I can say is I wish it were real. It’d be the highlight of my week if someone really “attacked” (slapped) Hulk Hogan. Or any Hogan, really. Well, any famous Hogan. Please don’t go out and just smack a person who unfortunately bears the Hogan surname to make me happy. Please at least find a bleached blonde one with a douchy grin and an undeserved sense of entitlement. Then slap away.

Hulk Hogan’s ex-wife Linda bragged about how generous he was in their divorce settlement – and now it appears that generosity must have kicked Hulk in the crotch. Instead of lazing poolside through his retirement, Hulk is doing what most 56-year-olds do when they need a little extra cash: strapping on some tight latex outfits and hoping for the best.

In Hulk’s case, that means some quality time spent doing non-WWE wrestling down under. His first opponent: probably a wallaby.

Further proof divorces are really costly: 56-year-old Hulk Hogan will dust off his yellow and red wrestling gear for a tour of Australia this fall, which is already being advertised on Australian TV.

At least the reality TV star has the “age edge” in the match: His opponent, 60-year-old Ric Flair, is wrestling for the first time since losing a much ballyhooed “retirement” match for WWE in March 2008, which drew more than 74,000 fans to Florida’s Citrus Bowl. (We don’t think WWE owner Vince McMahon can be too thrilled about this.)

Other notable wrestlers scheduled for action on the tour are Diamond Dallas Page, and some of the Hulkster’s Hogan Knows Best guest stars, Brutus Beefcake and The Nasty Boys.

[From Radar]

I should clarify that Hulk isn’t really wrestling a wallaby: he’s wrestling a man dressed in a giant wallaby costume. Anything else would be ridiculous. After that there’s the man dressed as a kangaroo, then a koala… what else do they have in Australia? A man dressed as an armadillo. I’m not sure if they actually have those, but it seems like the really bizarre animals tend to chill in Australia and Texas, so it seems like a safe bet. Okay non of that is true, but how much more interesting would it be instead of The Nasty Boys? I don’t even want to know what happens there.

I have every confidence that Hulk will be able to ride out 80s wrestling nostalgia until the end of his days. I cannot tell you how many guys I know that are still obsessed with him/have his dolls. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, his figurines action figures. Much more masculine. If it weren’t for his son Nick the almost killer, I’d find this all somewhat amusing because I could just take Hulk on a superficial level and just be bemused. Hulk Hogan vs. spandex-clad wombat! Hulk vs. The Sugar Glider. That’s not the animal, that would be the guy’s nickname. He would fly through the air and land on his opponents. But really, what’s left for Hulk? He can wrestle for a bit longer, but soon he’s going to have to write a tell-all and spend all of his time signing copies at half-priced bookstores. Still in the spandex of course. That’s the only redeeming part of all this. The spandex.
