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.”

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.

Nick Hogan is at it again. Okay, probably not. Nick got in another car crash on Saturday night. Now this was nothing like the epic car crash that nearly killed his best friend John Graziano, and certainly deprived John of a normal life for the rest of his days. This accident was so minor that when police arrived at the scene, they didn’t even file a report. Still, this is Nick Hogan so it’s hard not to assume anything but the absolute worst.

The 19 year old, who appeared alongside his wrestling champ dad on reality TV series Hogan Knows Best, was uninjured after the collision in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Police were called to the scene but didn’t write up an official report, according to TMZ.com.

Ironically, the teen was driving home from a fundraising event for Keep It On The Track, a charity that encourages safe driving.

It’s not Hogan’s first road mishap – in 2007, he wrecked his sports car in a devastating crash that left his passenger, John Graziano, seriously injured. He’s also notched up several tickets for speeding.

I checked out every report I could, and there’s no mention of speeding. To me, that’s Nick’s serious problem – I’d call it an addiction really. Speeding can obviously lead to serious car wrecks, but my feeling is that Nick’s got a serious issue with racing, versus trying to make his car do insane stunts or something of that nature. I want to get all up in arms about this, but it doesn’t seem like there’s any reason to as of yet. We don’t even know who was at fault or what kind of accident it was. The irony of Hogan coming back from a function for his vague and non-specific safe on the roads charity is hard to ignore though.

Remember when Paris Hilton got out of jail after 30 days for her DUI sentence, she swore she was going to be a better person and volunteer and go to Africa and stuff? But none of that’s happened. Nick Hogan said similar after his time in jail – but he’s claiming he already is a better person. Jail made him a better person. That’s pretty impressive, and makes me think we should send more celebrities to jail to make them be better people. Now Nick hasn’t actually done anything that makes the rest of us believe he’s a good guy in any way. But a lot of people think just describing yourself as good is the same as being good.

Anyhoo, Nick says that while jail made him a little angel, it was also (surprisingly) horrible. And it still “haunts” him. Dramatic things like hearing a gate close can give him “the willies.” And everyone there was just really cold to him. Can you imagine guards and fellow inmates didn’t smile warmly whenever Nick passed in front of them, and didn’t wrap him in cuddly blankets and embrace him whenever he was feeling down? Rough stuff.

Nick Hogan is still “haunted” by prison. The “Hogan Knows Best” star – who spent almost six months of an eight month sentence in jail last year for causing a car crash in 2007 – says he is still affected by his time inside Pinellas County Jail in Florida.

He said: “There are moments that haunt me to this day.

“There are times when I’ll be watching a prison movie and hear the sound of a gate slamming, and I get the willies. It was horrible.” The 19-year-old TV star added being away from his family was the hardest part of prison, but that htey [sic] helped him through his ordeal.
He explained: “Time away from my family was the most difficult part of my sentence. One of the things which makes you feel comforted is talking to a family member. But you don’t have a phone – you have to wait until it’s your time of the day to call. You miss being able to connect with people because everyone there is just cold, just brutal.”

Nick insists his sentence – which also saw his driving license suspended for three years, and him put on five years’ probation and ordered to carry out 500 hours of community service – has changed him for the better. He added to Life and Style magazine: “Jail was definitely one of the worst experiences, but it was also one of the best things that ever happened to me – just because of how much it changed me.”

Alright I’m out of snide comments. Not because anything Nick said changed my mind about him or I think he’s an okay guy or anything. I firmly believe he sucks as a human being, and will continue to suck for the rest of his days. But I’m sure that I’ve leveled every bitter, mocking comment that can be put together using the English language at Nick. I hope he eventually comes to see just how horrible his actions were when he nearly killed his friend in that horrendous accident two years ago. His family has made so many excuses that I doubt it will happen, but it’d be nice. Other than that… maybe it’s good he’s haunted by something. Knowing there are consequences for your actions that stay with you for a long time is probably good for him.

Here’s Nick enjoying every minute of his celebrity in L.A. on August 26th. Images thanks to WENN.com .

After nearly two years in the hospital, John Graziano is going home. Graziano was the passenger in Nick Hogan’s car which he flipped while drag racing on a public street. Firemen had to use the jaws of life to get Graziano out of Hogan’s car, and Nick literally walked away fine. It was thought John wouldn’t live, and then it became clear that he would, but in an assisted medical facility. Now his mother has finally taken him home, and his care will be provided by family, friends, and volunteers.

John Graziano, the Iraq War veteran who suffered severe brain damage while riding in a car with wrestling star Hulk Hogan’s son, Nick Bollea, is now home after two years at the James A. Haley VA Medical Center in Tampa. Doctors determined Graziano’s condition had improved enough that he could go home, where nurses, friends and relatives will continue to provide him 24-hour care, said his mother, Debra Graziano.

Graziano, 24, has been hospitalized since the Aug. 26, 2007, wreck in which Bollea lost control of his Toyota Supra in downtown Clearwater and smashed into a palm tree. The crash broke parts of Graziano’s skull. Bollea was uninjured. Graziano, strapped into a wheelchair in the back of a minivan, stared straight ahead as the van pulled away from the hospital at 12:42 p.m. Debra, Graziano’s brother, Michael Graziano, his sister, Christin Carson, and Carson’s husband, Richard Carson, rode with him.

His return from what Debra called “the best hospital imaginable” will be a welcome move for the family, which regularly made the long trek from its Pinellas County home to be at his bedside. Debra “always worried about him in the middle of the night,” Michael said. “Now she can know he’s okay.” Debra, who thanked God for her son’s release, gave no details on how their home had been prepared for his arrival. But she did give a name for it: “Heaven on Earth.”

Michael Graziano, interviewed Wednesday afternoon at his workplace on Clearwater Beach, said he was still stunned about his brother’s return home. “It didn’t really sink in yet,” said Graziano, 21. “It may take a while to realize every day when I wake up he’s there. He’s not in Tampa.” Graziano said his brother’s breathing has improved recently but that he would still need outpatient therapy a couple of times a week.

“A lot of people think brain trauma is like a soap opera. Like, just one day he wakes up,” he said. “He’s pretty much at step one. There are a lot of baby steps from here.” Debra Graziano had been visiting her son in Tampa daily from their home, he said. The Carsons came from their home in Georgia just to be with John Graziano during his release. Michael Graziano thanked everyone who showed support and spoke of hope that his brother would continue to improve. But, he said, he couldn’t help but compare his brother’s absence from home with another tough time: when John served overseas with the Marines. Michael “shut it out” then, he said. But this time could be harder. “I’ll just miss doing everything that brothers do,” he said.

[From TampaBay.com]

John had a fractured skull and still has severe, severe brain damage. He will never live a normal life, and Nick Hogan took that from him. Still, it’s nice to see that he’s made improvements, but it’s heartbreaking to think of all the things he could have been and the life he could have had. This man served our country and survived two tours in Iraq, only to have the quality of his life essentially taken away by Nick Hogan. I hope whatever it takes, the Grazianos get every penny they can from the Hogans. John deserves top-notch care, and the Hogans deserve some sort of punishment, even if it is only monetary.

Here’s a link to a story that shows a video of John’s horrendous injuries. It’s truly shocking, but I feel it’s important to remember just how severe this is. However the video is extremely hard to watch and very graphic, so please keep that in mind.

Nick Hogan sure has some good PR people working for him. For a long time it was hard to figure out why he hadn’t hired anyone to help him tame his douchiness. Well, not tame it in terms of his actual personality. Just learn how to hide it from the public, and do a better job of saying what everyone wants to hear. You know, how he actually feels regular human emotions like regret and sadness and thinks about things other than himself. Oh, and the children. He wants to help the children. Radar Online has a new video interview with Nick Hogan where he sort-of apologizes for leaving his friend in a permanent vegetative state after a drunken drag race on a public street – only he does it in a roundabout way by never mentioning what he did, never mentioning his friend by name, and saying that he’s going to start a charity for kids – in which they’ll be drag racing.

With autumn rapidly approaching, Nick Hogan is ready to turn over a new leaf.

Just shy of two years removed from his darkest hour — the August 2007 crash in Florida that left him behind bars, and friend John Graziano badly injured — the 19-year-old son of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan held nothing back about his past, present and future in an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com on Thursday.

“Something I’d want people to know now, is that I’m very sorry about my accident that happened and I feel the most regret in the world over that day, August 25 and I pray everyday over what happened, and everyone that was involved,” Nick told RadarOnline.com reporter Katie Rhames.

It’s been more than 25 years since Hulk Hogan became a household name and worldwide role model to children advising them to train, say their prayers and eat their vitamins. Now, Nick is following in his father’s footsteps in becoming a mentor and role model to kids with KIOTT, an organization he devised while in jail with aims to provide younger people with a safe venue to sow their wild oats behind the wheel.

“What KIOTT is, is an advocacy group I started that takes kids off the streets and puts them in racetracks, just a motivational thing to gets kids to stop doing stupid stuff on the streets.” Nick told RadarOnline.com. “I moved on in a positive way with KIOTT, and trying to do everything I can to give back to the community I took so much away from.”

While Nick candidly admitted that the loneliness he felt during his jail sentence was traumatizing, he said some good came out of the soul searching he did with the extra time he had on his hands.

“While I was in there, I really had a lot of time to think about everything that was going on in my life, and who I am inside,” Nick told Rhames. “At the time with the divorce, there was so much going on I had no control of… I really, really got in touch with what I feel I’m being called to do, and doing the right things and helping other people out.”

[From Radar]

Nick Hogan couldn’t turn over a new leaf if he were an oak tree. Ooooh, snap, arbor humor! I am so confused about his charity thing. He’s really vague, but what it sounds like is Nick is trying to get kids “off the streets” and onto the racetrack. But the problem is he nearly killed his friend John Graziano – who he conveniently never even named in the interview – by drag racing. On the street. So when he says he’s getting kids off the streets, does he mean it in the gang sense? General teenage hooliganism? Or does he mean it in terms of kids that are racing on the streets? He doesn’t say, and if he means it in terms of anything other than getting kids to stop drag racing, then he’s a moron.

Okay a little more research makes it clear the organization Keep It On The Track is indeed aimed at taking kids who want to drag race on the street and putting them on a track instead. And while that’s certainly better than the street, I’d argue that it’s still inappropriate for Nick to be involved with it. He was a track racer when he got in the crash nearly two years ago. It seemed to just fuel his fire and give him more of a drive to race any and everywhere he could. Maybe that’s a desire that’s just there with some people, and if you can steer it to a safer place, great. But it didn’t work for Nick, so he’s really not doing any favors by promoting the organization.

And while he does take some responsibility – finally – it’s way too little and way too late. He should have been crying about this on every show that would have him. Instead he got out of jail and went right back to racing his cars and living his life. There’s no apology I’d accept after two years. Time does not heal all wounds: in fact some grow deeper and are compounded by the fact that it took the person so long to do the right thing. It’s easy to assume Nick is genuine and was young and try to give him another chance. He said some right things. But he’s only saying them because someone smarter than is telling him to. There’s no real remorse there, or it would have been there a long time ago.

It’s hard to feel badly for Nick Hogan. And by that I mean it’s completely impossible. In fact, it’s a lot more fun – and appropriate! – to laugh at his misfortune. Especially when it’s to the tune of $130,000. You see, Nick got swindled. He made a bad investment, trusted the wrong people, you know how it goes. Sort of a low-rent Bernie Madoff situation. Nick invested $50,000 with two guys who were going to start a production company. The company never happened. They also charged over $80,000 to his American Express without his permission. Nick would like his money back please.

Nick Hogan is as bad of an investor as he is a driver — in a brand new lawsuit, Nick claims two guys he tried to start a business with rode him for a grand total of $130,767.75.

Nick is suing Louis Adkinson and Damon Elliot for breach of contract after he agreed to invest $50,000 in a record production company called “Confidential South, LLC” back in January — a company Nick says never even got off the ground.

According to the suit, filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Nick claims Adkinson and Elliot both promised to invest 50k of their own … AND told Nick everyone would get their money back if the company never formed. Surprisingly, the suit says neither of those things happened.

To make it worse, Nick alleges the evil duo ran up $80,767.75 on his American Express card without his permission — so he’s also suing them for fraud. Nick wants the 130k back — at least.

[From TMZ]

I’m guessing Nick didn’t get much of this in writing. He just doesn’t seem the sort. There’s no mention of how he knows these two guys. I’d assume they’re friends of his, because you’d think even someone as dumb as Nick Hogan wouldn’t just give away his money to people he barely knows. Instinct tells me Nick has a lifetime of poor decisions ahead of him. And expensive consequences. Karma’s a bitch that way.

Here’s Nick Hogan setting up a table, a sign and a few implements to embark on his career as a master stylist in Miami. Two brave customers take Nick up on his offer of free haircuts on June 17th. The photo agency doesn’t explain why he did this and I couldn’t find any information online, but it’s safe to assume it’s for a reality show or something. And probably a good fallback career for Nick when everything else goes to pot. Images thanks to BauerGriffinOnline.

Just in case you thought the Hogan family had put their issues with each other aside, I’m here to tell you… not so much. They’re also still really big on lying and fabricating the truth, considering they’re giving very different versions of a story, only one of which can be true. Brooke Hogan turned 21 last week in an appropriately tacky party at Pure nightclub in Vegas. According to Brooke, she invited her mom Linda – with whom she’s been estranged – to her birthday part, but Linda didn’t bother to show. According to Linda’s people, she was never invited.

Brooke Hogan was all smiles as she celebrated her coming-of-age last week at Sin City’s Spago Restaurant alongside her boyfriend Stack$, father Hulk, brother Nick and a few close friends — but notably absent for the intimate affair was her mom, Linda Bollea.

Brooke reached out to her mother numerous times and let her know that she was more than welcome at any of her birthday celebrations and that she would love her to be there, but Linda chose not to attend, said a source.

“Linda was really, really hurt,” another source told Tarts. “But Brooke has sided with her father in all of this, she was adamant about not celebrating with her mom or extending an invitation.”

Following dinner, Brooke partied with (and couldn’t keep her hands off) her beau inside PURE nightclub while typically protective Hulk looked on disapprovingly.

[From Fox News’ Pop Tarts]

It’s hard to side with anyone in Hulk and Linda’s divorce, considering how reprehensible their behavior has been. It’s not surprising that Brooke would be creeped out by her mom’s relationship with a 19-year-old former friend of her younger brother Nick. But her dad also said he understood why OJ Simpson killed Nicole Brown, so you’d think she’d want to stay far away from both of her parents.
In related Hogan news, near-killer Nick has wanted his own reality show for a long time. Because he’s such a wonderful, special person and not one of the world’s greater assholes. Unfortunately for dear Nick, no one’s willing to touch his show – or much of anything having to do with him.

“I want to do where I’ll make the most money,” Nick said [to Hulk in audio tapes of Nick's jail phone conversation with his dad during his incarceration] , his father adding that he’ll produce the show and make his son the owner.

But so far Nick hasn’t [had] any luck with that controversial show of his, with an insider telling Tarts that the production companies and [sic] hesitant to even touch it. A rep for VH1 (the network behind “Hogan Knows Best” and the spin-off “Brooke Knows Best”) confirmed to Tarts that there was nothing in the works regarding Nick.

Although the now 18-year-old has made the move to the outskirts of Tinseltown and still has high hopes of making it on the big-screen.

“He wants to start his own charity,” a source close to mama Linda said. “He wants to make a name for himself.”

[From Fox News’ Pop Tarts]

Um, a charity for what? If I were to be forced to list 10,000 adjectives that describe Nick Hogan, never ever would I say anything along the lines of “cares about others.” Obviously he wants to start his own charity to try to look like a better guy than he is. Though to be fair the guy who robbed my neighbor’s apartment is better than Nick Hogan is, so it wouldn’t take much. Surely he doesn’t need to start a charity to improve his image. When you’re considered nothing but scum, anything is a step up. Hell, he could just slow down at a yellow light once in a while and people will think he’s a little bit less of a douche bag than he is.

Would you sit in the passenger’s seat of a car driven by Nick Hogan? Well, thanks to a provisional permit which allows the convicted reckless driver to operate a vehicle “for business-related excursions,” this is a decision some poor soul will have to make. Hogan served 8 months in jail for reckless driving after crashing his father’s yellow modified Toyota Supra into a palm tree while street racing. Not only did he total the car, but his friend John Graziano, who was riding shotgun that night, will now require lifetime medical care for his critical injuries. But, hey! Nick’s driving again!

The guy behind the wheel is Nick Hogan — the guy in the passenger seat is the ballsiest guy on the planet.

Nick is officially back behind the wheel — driving a brave passenger around in a black Range Rover near Agoura Hills, California on Monday night. It’s been around 18 months since Nick’s ’07 car wreck that left his last passenger and friend, John Graziano, in a vegetative state — and Nick behind bars and without a license.

The DMV granted him a driving permit last month for business-related excursions.

[From TMZ]

According to the State of Florida’s DMV web site, a driver causes a death or personal injury automatically loses his or her license for one year. However, the license holder can apply for a hardship provisional license, with the argument that a drivers’ license is needed in order to get to and from work. Are we to believe that Nick Hogan is an actual “hardship” case? First of all, what does the kid actually do for work? I don’t seem to recall him having any kind of job prior to the accident that left his friend brain dead. Unless, maybe the costly divorce of Hulk and Linda Hogan has actually forced Nick to go out and look for work? Either way, if you live in Clearwater, Florida, you should be very, very careful on the roads!

John Graziano was left in a permanent vegetative state with literally part of his skull missing (warning on that link) after Hulk and Linda Hogan’s son, Nick, got in a car accident in August, 2007 when drunk and drag racing on a public street. Instead of expressing their remorse that their son so carelessly endangered his passenger’s life and left him irreparably damaged, Nick and Linda issued a statement that John wasn’t wearing his seatbelt. The Hogan family continued to talk smack about the victim afterwards, calling him a negative person and making obnoxious statements that the accident was God’s will.

Nick spent 166 days in jail after pleading guilty to reckless driving, but many thought it was not enough. He’s out now and the first thing he did was head to Vegas to celebrate.

Victim John Graziano’s father is now under police custody after cops caught him in a sting trying to hire someone to kill his wife, John’s mom. This made me inappropriately crack up because the idiot paid an undercover cop $2,100 plus a $13 pizza gift card to kill his wife in a car accident. I know it’s wrong to laugh at that, particularly considering his poor son’s state, but why did he throw in the pizza gift card?

Today I received an e-mail from Linda Hogan’s PR person informing me about this, with a completely unnecessary statement from Linda. She also used it as an opportunity to slam the family. According to a local newspaper, Linda is also claiming that she was threatened by this guy, which police of course can’t confirm:

Linda’s statement, e-mailed to me:

“Any threat from Ed Graziano would and is being taken very seriously. We all prey [sic] for John’s recovery. This kind of behavior is why John turned to us as a loving family and we made him one of our own. God Bless John.” Linda Bollea

News report, in which Linda claims she’s being threatened too:

Clearwater, Florida — Ed Graziano is behind bars accused of trying to hire someone to kill his wife. But Linda Bollea apparently believes Graziano wanted to hurt her too.

Bollea’s publicist tells 10 Connects “people around the case” have told Hulk Hogan’s estranged wife Graziano also made threats aimed at Bollea. After hearing about the possible threats Bollea’s publicist described her as “scared to death.”

Bollea issued a statement Thursday night saying “Any threat from Ed Graziano would and is being taken very seriously.”

A spokesperson for the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office could not confirm the alleged threats aimed at Bollea, but they did detail Graziano’s apparent attempt to kill his wife.

Authorities say Graziano paid $1,100 in cash, a $1,000 personal check and a $13.06 Westshore Pizza gift card to have his wife murdered. According to detectives, Graziano wanted his wife killed in a car accident.

A tipster told officials about Ed Graziano’s plan and an under-cover detective posed as a “go-between” to a “hit-man” as they investigated the case. The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office learned about the plot in December and also notified Debra Graziano as a precaution.

Thursday, Ed Graziano was arrested at his home in Palm Harbor and later booked into the Pinellas County jail. He’s expected to make his first court appearance on Friday.

On August 26th, 2007 Ed and Debra Graziano’s son John was seriously injured in a car crash with Hogan’s son Nick Bollea.

[Tampabays10.com]

STFU Linda Hogan! Your son and your family caused this family enough pain and suffering with your careless actions and words. Now that they’re going through more problems, you want to rub it in!

Linda never should have issued a statement about something that didn’t concern her. Now she’s only made this story get national attention and brought more shame on that family. What a nasty piece of work that woman is.

Linda Hogan is getting really serious with her 19-year-old boyfriend (heavy emphasis on the “boy”) Charlie Hill. Linda’s in Park City, Utah to celebrate the Sundance Film Festival. And I use the word “celebrate” because I’m not sure what other verb to go with to explain why she’s there. Linda’s not an actress, she’s barely a celebrity – really the only reason she’s famous at all is for her sorta famous, soon-to-be ex-husband Hulk Hogan, and her poor parenting and family drama. Oh, and being tacky.

And to make sure she upped the tacky, Linda made out with her young lover all over Park City. Likely causing an unprecedented wave of vomiting throughout the city.

Pop Tarts noticed that the one woman getting most of the attention in the oddly quiet (and much warmer than normal) Park City on Saturday was none other than “Hogan Knows Best” star, Linda Bollea [Hogan]. So what was she doing at a film fest? Like most celebs in town, a whole lot of nothing.

Donning a terrible fur coat and pink lipstick, Bollea paraded her 19-year-old boytoy Charlie Hill up and down Main Street to fully utilize the photo op and at one point traffic controllers had to stop the cars in every direction as so many “fans” and paps were crazily rushing to get a snap of the happy-to-pose twosome. Although perhaps it was more a case of follow the pack as most snappers were asking “Who are we taking a photo of again?”

But Ms. Bollea isn’t as “blonde” as she may come across, and the reality star was smart enough to cash in on her (already-expired?) fifteen minutes of fame by stopping off for some swag at House of Hype, St. Ives Spa and the Hollywood Life House for a free (of course) Fake Bake tan. Linda even asked the vendors if they wanted to take her picture. How gracious.

Linda’s jailbird son Nick also attended the festival and seemed to have no problem with his mama consistently making out with (not to mention canoodling intimately with) her boyfriend who was actually his high school pal. Let’s just say their behavior would have been better left for an area of privacy rather than for the pedestrians of Park City.

“He isn’t Linda’s boytoy anymore,” a source close to Bollea told Tarts. “Things between them are very serious.”

[From Fox News’ Pop Tarts]

Well… I feel sick. Nearly every story about the Hogan family causes a wave of nausea to course through my body, but this one really ups it. How in the world is Linda Hogan getting so much attention? She should not be entitled to swag. Nor should she fake and bake anymore than she already has. And Charlie Hill gives me the creeps. Not just that he used to be good friends with Nick Hogan, or the large age difference between he and Linda… there’s just something about his face that gives me the willies.

Really, Linda, could you possibly make yourself more unbecoming? If you want to shove your tongue down your boyfriend’s throat, it’s gross as hell but no one can stop you. But keep it to yourself, for everyone else’s sake.
