The current drama with the Hogan family is proof that Karma really is a bitch. And like any other form of justice, it’s best when it’s sure and swift. Though Linda Hogan, 48, just filed for divorce last week, it turns out the couple has been separated for several months. Given that fact, it’s weird that Hulk Hogan publicly professed surprise at the divorce papers.

Either way, the Hulk is pissed. He’s going to fight Linda on alimony and child support. Their loser son Nick is still 17, so technically Linda could get some child support if Nick lived with her. Hulk says Linda is able to support herself, and notes that they have two houses and their liabilities should be divided equally between the pair. I wonder if that includes the legal liability the family will be facing when John Graziano’s parents sue them for the car crash Nick caused that turned Graziano into a vegetable?

In the court filing, Terry Bollea, 54, contested everything from his wife’s alimony and custody claims to the couple’s marriage date. Linda Bollea’s petition lists it as Dec. 12, 1983, while Terry Bollea says it was Dec. 18. Terry Bollea had it right: Public records show they were married Dec. 18, 1983. According to court documents, Terry and Linda Bollea separated about a month after their son Nick’s Aug. 26 car wreck, which critically injured his friend and passenger, John Graziano.

Linda Bollea, 48, is seeking an unspecified amount of alimony and child support. She also wants custody of their son, subject to “liberal visitation” with his father. But in his counter-claim, Terry Bollea said his wife is capable of supporting herself and helping support their son, 17, who will be a minor until July. The petition also says Nick Bollea is old enough to decide with whom he will live and that “it would be in the best interest for the parties to have shared parental responsibility.”

[From the St. Petersburg Times]

I love that quote about “shared parental responsibility.” That implies that they have some parental responsibility, which they clearly don’t. Unless they’re planning on starting it now, I doubt that makes a bit of difference. I hope they both lose their shirts when the Grazianos sue them, and then they won’t have to argue about alimony and division of assets – just division of debt.

Not surprisingly, the entire Hogan family is filled with morons. Now we were never so naïve as to believe that there were ten IQ points to split between the four of them. I mean when Hulk Hogan is clearly the genius in your family, you’re probably not going to be splitting the atom anytime soon. It turns out son/drag racer/soon-to-be-prison-inmate-18293-382LQ (in my dreams) Nick Hogan gets his drag racing genes from his mom. Did you know there was a drag racing gene? Neither did I. Turns out it’s shaped like a ball of flames when you look at it under a powerful microscope. When you zoom in even closer (I realize it’s not called zooming in, but I’m not a scientist so let’s go with it) you see that it’s actually a hand giving you the middle finger. It’s the peace sign of drag racers everywhere. Anyway, the elder drag racer in the Hogan family is mom Linda Hogan. The family has publicly denounced street racing, but Florida’s ABC affiliate found a documentary DVD titled “Vehicular Lunatics.” The DVD has a bonus feature called “Street Racing With Linda Hogan.”

It was filmed at several Florida locations, including Saint Petersburg and Orlando. One “Extra” on the DVD is called “Street Racing With Linda Hogan.” At one point, Linda Bollea (Hogan) is seen alongside another car. Linda Bollea is driving a car identified as a Mercedes S600. Her daughter, Brooke is her passenger. Brooke says to the men in the adjacent car, “Wanna race?” One of the men replies, “Yeah! We love racing you! On three.” Brooke replies, “Let’s do this. Alright.” Then Linda Bollea says “Let’s kick it.” The cars take off, but their speeds are not known. Nick Bollea and his father Terry Jean, better known from his wrestling days as Hulk Hogan, are also seen in the documentary.

Two years later, 17 year old Nick is charged with felony reckless driving after a crash leaves a friend in a coma, and after Nick was pulled over four times for speeding. At one point in the documentary, his mother was asked how she feels about street racing. Her answer: “Oh, I love it. I love it. The rush, the speed on the road, stereo blasting, heart-pounding, racing in between all the cars, dodging the cops. It’s awesome.”

[From ABC Action News]

Well I hope Linda Hogan thinks it’s awesome that her son has been charged with third-degree felony reckless driving involving serious bodily injury, use of a motor vehicle in commission of a felony, operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of 0.02 percent or higher while under age 21, and illegal window tint. While the video won’t affect Nick at all, it could be pretty damaging to the Hogans in a civil case.

The attorney for the mother of Nick Bollea’s [Hogan] injured passenger, 22-year old John Graziano, a Marine from Dunedin, had previously said he’s planning a civil suit against the Bolleas. We showed the documentary “Vehicular Lunatics” to Tim Prugh. He’s a civil attorney in Tampa who is not involved in the case. Prugh says the video could be damaging to the Bolleas, “Damaging enough where I would attempt to keep it out if I were defending the people that were representing Mr. Bollea. And if I represent the injured party, I want to get that into evidence to demonstrate that they were enthusiastic racers and it was in the family.”

[From ABC Action News]

This video makes me want to kick the whole family in the crotch. What kind of parents teach their children that illegal, reckless, irresponsible, and potentially deadly activities are a cool way to spend your time. From the way she was talking, Linda Hogan seems to think she’s the one who’s 19, instead of 67 or however old she is. From the looks of her I’m sticking with 67. While John Graziano is still in a coma and listed in critical condition at a hospital in Tampa, hopefully his family will be able to get a little bit of justice for him. And bankrupt the Hogans.

Nick Hogan, the spoiled/brat/jerk/self-centered/all-around-terrible-person/son of Hulk Hogan has finally been arrested and charged after causing a serious accident while drag racing in Florida. The accident left his passenger, 22-year-old John Graziano, in a coma. Doctors said the best recovery Graziano can expect is to someday be able to blink his eyes. Hogan walked away from the accident with relatively minor injuries, including a broken arm and a few broken ribs. He crashed his Toyota Supra into a palm tree. Hogan also has a long history of pretty extreme speeding tickets – even though he’s only 17.

The 17-year-old Hogan Knows Best star, who appeared on the reality show with his wrestling superstar father, Hulk Hogan, has been arrested on several criminal charges, including third-degree felony reckless driving involving serious bodily injury, stemming from an August car crash that left his passenger in critical condition.

Police also cited the younger Hogan, whose real name is Nick Bollea, for use of a motor vehicle in commission of a felony, being under the age of 21 and operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of 0.02 percent or higher and illegal window tint.

Hogan turned himself in to authorities at 9:48 a.m. Wednesday, hours after police in Clearwater issued a warrant for his arrest upon the completion of an “extensive investigation” into the wreck by a team of four officers. He is currently being booked on the charges at the Pinellas County Jail.

[From E! News]

Is it weird that I whooped, hollered, and did that stupid “raise the roof” dance move when I read all those charges? I personally take a lot of credit for the arrests. Okay not really. But we stayed on Nick Hogan because of the giant, irresponsible douche bag that he is. And the investigation did take so long that we were starting to wonder if anything would happen. Without being privy to all the details, it does seem like they charged Hogan with everything they could. I mean they charged him with overly-tinted windows. Hopefully they’ll find a pair of fuzzy dice that were likely obstructing his view, and he’ll get in trouble for that, too.

The Hogans released a statement that puts to rest any doubt we had about whether or not they feel Nick did anything wrong or should be held accountable for his (criminal) actions.

“Nick and the entire ‘Hogan’ Bollea family are saddened that criminal charges have been filed in regards to the tragic single car accident on August 26, 2007,” the family said in a statement. “Nick will meet and answer these charges in the appropriate arena—a court of law.”

“The family’s primary focus and concern still remains for the continued recovery of Nick’s longtime friend John Graziano,” they said. “The Bolleas will also continue to stand by the Graziano family and help them in any way they can.”

“There has been much speculation as to the wet road conditions surrounding this accident. Although the evidence has not been evaluated, preliminary reports from the experts indicate that this was not, in fact, a high-speed accident.”

“The tragedy to both families is compounded by the fact that unfortunately John was not wearing his seatbelt. Thankfully, Nick was wearing his. Because of what happened to John, the entire Bollea family will make it a priority to increase public awareness about the importance of always wearing your seatbelt.”

[From E! News]

Wow. So to sum up paragraph one, the Hogans are sad that their son committed a crime and will have to face consequences for it. Apparently because he was in a single car accident, that somehow makes it less important to them – even though another person – John Graziano - will likely no longer have a quality life, and possibly live in constant pain. Paragraph two lets us know that all the Hogans care about is the Grazianos, and helping them, even though they’ve never made any public statement about John until today. I’m guessing the families have come to a private financial agreement, since no lawsuits have been filed. Paragraph three gives us a new box of bull and tells us that it was not their son’s drag racing that caused the crash, but the wet roads. You know what the rule is about wet roads? You slow down. Because they might lead to an crash, and it’s still your fault. And paragraph four wraps up by letting us know it was ultimately Graziano’s fault for not wearing a seatbelt. Not their son’s fault for speeding, racing, or driving like a moron. If there were a paragraph five, it would involve a narration of me finding the Hogans and hitting each of them over the head with a very large mallet.

Hopefully Nick Hogan will do some jail/prison time, and will have his driver’s license suspended indefinitely.

Remember Nick Hogan, the most selfish and terrible of all the celebuspawns out there? Well he’s finally broken his silence about his drag racing car crash in which he caused his passenger, John Graziano, to be on life-support for the rest of his life. Experts say the most Graziano can ever hope for is to be able to open and shut his eyes once in a while. The Hogans have been nearly silent about the issue – I’m guessing because they know they’re going to get sued (crossing fingers). You’d think that – if for nothing else than the sake of their public image – they would have made some statements of remorse. Well now, we finally have a word from Nick, via his MySpace blog.

“omggggg its been forever since i blogged…hell i dont even know what blog means but i guess its where you write stuff for people to read

anyways my last one was before i even drove for mopar, if you check my pics youll see that i did end up driving for them for my amateur season and most of my pro rookie season. i recently left the mopar team tho…things didnt work out to well

but!….i picked up a new title sponsor…POLAROID! and started my own team with twin 350z’s pretty cool i know

anyways id like everyone to wish my luck for my 08 season and keep john graziano in your prayers”

[From TMZ]

Wow. I really hope Hulk and Linda Hogan are proud of the son they’ve raised. As much as everyone hates on Brooke Hogan, her singing has yet to permanently incapacitate someone, so I’m pretty sure she’s the lesser of two evils. I would be so humiliated to have given life to this creature. I can’t even call him a human. He’s clearly beyond just spoiled and narcissistic, and is instead a full-out sociopath. I hate to be a total jerk, but I’m not capable of writing about something like this and just staying neutral. I really hope Nick Hogan goes to prison (doubtful) and terrible, terrible things happen to him there.

Picture note by Jaybird: Here’s a picture of John Graziano, a US Marine who returned from his second tour of duty in Iraq last October. Header image of Hogan’s crash in August.

Remember a few months ago when moronic, spoiled, and irresponsible Nick Hogan (son of Hulk) got into a major car accident? Well Hogan pretty much walked away from the scene, but his passenger, John Graziano, is still on life-support, and will remain that way for the rest of his life. Experts say the most he can ever hope for is to be able to open and shut his eyes once in a while.

The Hogans should be ashamed of themselves and the terrible child they’ve raised. They’ve spoiled their kids rotten and given them no sense of values and responsibility. Nick had been pulled over for serious speeding violations, and I mentioned in a previous article, “In the last twelve months, Nick has been cited four times for extreme speeding and has four points on his license as a result. He was clocked at 115 mph in a 70 mph zone, 106 mph in a 70 mph zone, 57 mph in a 30 mph zone, the most recent, on August 10th, 16 days before his massive accident, Bollea was clocked doing 82 mph in a 45 mph construction zone while workers were present.” He was fined $1,000. He also got into a car crash with one of his dad’s fancy cars (I can’t even remember which one and I get too angry writing about this moron to look) and the Hogans just replaced with a less-fancy but equally fast Toyota Supra. So the kid didn’t learn his lesson, smashed into a tree and totaled the car, and now poor John Graziano will never be able to move again.

“The young Marine just back from Iraq who was critically injured in the Aug. 26 car crash that involved wrestler Hulk Hogan’s son Nick will require lifelong care, according to court documents. John Graziano’s mother, Debra Graziano, has legally petitioned a Florida court to permit her to assume guardianship of the 22-year-old, who remains in Bayfront Medical Center, the St. Petersburg Times reports. Citing court papers, the paper reports that the most Graziano can hope for is to open and shut his eyes periodically. He was a passenger in 17-year-old Nick Bollea’s car when it careened off the road and struck a 25-ft.-tall palm tree in downtown Clearwater, Fla., police said. The papers also state that Graziano was not wearing a seat belt. Police continue to investigate the accident, and no charges have been filed.

“A nurse hired by the court filed a report on Sept. 19 that described Graziano as comatose and on life support, and also said he may have suffered a seizure, says the Times.”

[From People]

Yeah Graziano should have been wearing a seat belt, but that in no way diminishes Hogan’s culpability. It’s just totally disgusting. The Hogans have been laying low lately, and don’t seem to have said much about this issue. I’m guessing they know a massive lawsuit is coming their way, and they’re doing whatever they can to avoid it. If they were decent people that cared about anything more than their money and their D-list status, they would be doing everything they could to support the Grazianos and publicly chastising their idiot son.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Here are pictures of Graziano, because who wants to see any more photos of the stupid Hogans? Graziano, a US Marine, returned from his second tour of duty in Iraq last October. Let’s hope for a miracle for this guy.

You know who I’ve decided I hate more than most people? Nick Hogan, Hulk Hogan’s idiotic son. He’s the one that thinks it’s awesome to drive double and triple the speed limit, even when he gets pulled over three times in one night. He’s also the one who was drag racing on a heavily used road and smashed his car, sending his passenger to the hospital and leaving him there, nearly a month later, still in critical condition. You are my Most Hated, Nick Hogan. I’m creating a special category just for you. I don’t care that you’re 17, there’s some people that you can just tell were born with a sense of entitlement, and no one else’s life will get in the way. Hogan plead guilty to a different traffic offense (he’s gotten about six in the short time he’s been driving).

“Hulk Hogan’s son, Nick Bollea, has pleaded no contest to a charge of speeding in a construction zone. On Aug. 10, a Pinellas Park police officer spotted Bollea going almost double the speed limit. According to Ron Stuart, a spokesman for the Sixth Judicial Circuit in Clearwater, Judge William Overton adjudicated him guilty Monday morning and ordered a fine of $1,000, the maximum fine for the offense.

“The judge also ordered the 17-year old to complete a 12-hour driver improvement course within 90 days. Furthermore, the judge adjudicated Bollea guilty on a failure to wear a seatbelt charge and and fined him $73.50. The Pinellas Park traffic stop happened a few weeks before Bollea crashed a yellow Supra into a palm tree in Clearwater, injuring his passenger John Graziano, who remains in critical condition.

“Police say Bollea was speeding in that accident and are still investigating. No charges have been filed in that case.”

[From Bay News 9]

Way to teach a douchebag a lesson. Not that I’m optimistic enough to think that much of anything would get through to this kid, unless something drastic actually happened to him, instead of everyone around him. So here’s my solution: You. Me. Outside. You blindfolded, me with an awesome Revolutionary War musket that doesn’t always do what it’s told. At the end, if you keep your arms, you can keep your driver’s license too.

When I first wrote about Hulk Hogan’s son’s car crash the other day, I was sorta cranky and unsympathetic. Mostly because the kid seemed like a moron who reported missing jewelry as stolen to the police and had three tickets for extreme speeding in under a year. I was pretty sure I’d eat crow for it, but it turns out I was right, Nick Bollea (Hogan’s real last name) is a complete moron who’s seriously endangered other people’s lives on several occasions. Multiple witnesses report that - on the night of his fateful, massive car crash that left passenger John J. Graziano in critical condition at the hospital - Bollea was racing a silver Dodge Viper on State Route 60, a main drag through downtown Clearwater, Florida - early in the evening. I’m not saying racing is ever okay (it seems to often lead to injuries and death) but generally even the people moronic enough to race on public streets do it in the middle of the night, not 7:30 in the evening.

“A woman said Hulk Hogan’s son was racing another car moments before he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a tree, critically injuring his passenger. Frances Vitalis, a registered nurse from Plant City, said she saw 17-year-old Nick Bollea’s Toyota Supra smash into a median and spin into a palm tree Sunday night. She said the Supra and a Dodge Viper were revving their engines and racing between traffic signals before the crash.

“‘We knew something was going to happen,’ said Vitalis, who was riding a motorcycle with a friend behind the cars. ‘You know that this is a bad situation and these guys are hotdogging.’ Bollea’s attorney, J. Kevin Hayslett, declined to comment. Clearwater police spokesman Wayne Shelor also declined to comment on the witness accounts, citing an ongoing investigation. He said detectives have talked to ‘a number of eyewitnesses.’ Police so far have said only that excessive speed contributed to the crash.

“Shelor issued a statement Wednesday afternoon saying Hulk Hogan ‘was not driving a car beside or near the one his son, Nick, was driving when it crashed.’ Shelor said Hogan arrived at the scene minutes after the crash. Meanwhile, Bollea’s passenger, 22-year-old John J. Graziano of Dunedin, remained in critical condition at Bayfront Medical Center, a hospital spokeswoman said.”

[From the Washington Post]

I always thought “hotdogging” was the term used for stuffing a billion hot dogs in your mouth at one of those competitive eating competitions, but it turns out it’s something much, much less funny. I really hope there will be severe legal repercussions for this Nick. He’s clearly one of those morons that doesn’t understand how dangerous a car can be, and nothing short of their own injury will teach them otherwise. In the last twelve months, Nick has been cited four times for extreme speeding and has four points on his license as a result. He was clocked at 115 mph in a 70 mph zone, 106 mph in a 70 mph zone, 57 mph in a 30 mph zone, the most recent, on August 10th, 16 days before his massive accident, Bollea was clocked doing 82 mph in a 45 mph construction zone while workers were present. If he’s getting caught doing this four times in twelve months, can you imagine how often he actually speeds? The guy probably does 45 mph through the Burger King drive through. Let’s pray his bonehead parents love him enough to take away his license and don’t get him another car. And maybe handcuff him to the bed for a few days, just to give him a feeling for how much his life could suck if he messes up again.

Note by Celebitchy The latest news on the passenger in the car with Nick is that he is still in the hospital in critical condition. Nick’s friend John Graziano was a marine who served two tours of duty in Iraq, having returned last October to the states. Nick Hogan could get up to 15 years in jail if his friend ends up mortally injured and he was found to have been drinking or drag racing at the time of the accident.

Remember a few days ago, when we wrote an article about Hulk Hogan’s home being looted of $100,000 worth of jewelry? It was Hogan’s son Nick, who apparently thought it was a good idea to wrap his watch and two necklaces in a t-shirt in his upstairs closet before the family moved. The items “disappeared” – but Nick, 17, has a history of less-than-brilliant decisions. Last November he was driving the family’s Lamborghini when it just somehow burst into flames and was burned “beyond recognition.” Considering the odds of that happening without cause are pretty slim, coupled with how dumb celebrity spawn are these days, makes it not all that surprising that Nick was in a major car crash this past weekend – he was supposedly driving at a “very high speed” though police have yet to release the actual number. They had to use the “Jaws of Life” to pry Nick and his passenger from the shockingly destroyed vehicle. Nick was released from the hospital today, less than twelve hours later, but his passenger remains there, critically injured.

“The son of professional wrestler Hulk Hogan was seriously injured in a car crash Sunday night, police said. A Toyota Supra driven by Nick Bollea [Hogan’s real last name] was traveling at a high rate of speed at approximately 7:30 p.m., Clearwater Police spokesman Wayne Shelor said. Bollea, which is Hogan’s real name, lost control and hit a raised median. The car flipped around, and the back end hit a palm tree.

“‘The car was destroyed,’ Shelor said. Bollea and an unidentified male passenger were extricated from the car by paramedics, Shelor said. Then they were airlifted to Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg. Their official conditions were not immediately available, but Shelor described the injuries of both men as serious.

“The crash occurred on State Route 60, a main drag through downtown Clearwater. The road had to be shut down in both directions for several hours, Shelor said. Alcohol is not believed to have played a part in the crash. The crash seems to have been caused by excessive speed, Shelor said. Bollea appears on the reality TV show ‘Hogan Knows Best’ with his father, mother and sister.”

[From the Washington Post]

I really don’t mean this to sound as insensitive as it will, but this kid is a moron. Both of Hulk Hogan’s kids seem like they don’t have two IQ points to rub together. I know that seventeen year old boys probably aren’t going to make the best decisions in general, but when you have rich parents that always bail you out of your stupid mistakes, you’ll probably have less appreciation for the consequences of your actions. If Nick were the one critically hurt, I’d have a little more compassion, but since he’s critically injured another person (and already left the hospital) it’s hard to feel much sympathy for the person that did that to another human being.

Picture note by JayBird: Here’s a closeup of the front of Nick Hogan’s car. According to Splash, “Hulk showed up at the scene almost immediately and watched his son get flown out by a helicopter to hospital.” Image thanks to Splash Photos. Below is the Hogan Family, proving they’ll show up to the opening of an envelope – they’re at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. Thanks to WENN for the photo.

I’m kind of surprised that Hulk Hogan has $100,000 worth of jewelry in his house – his family seems way too cheap to have anything other than Canal Street knockoffs – but it turns out he does, because $100,000 worth of jewelry was stolen from Hogan’s place last night. Apparently the Hulk is in the process of moving, and during that processes the jewelry’s been looted. I wonder if it’s possible it’s just missing? I know that sounds naïve, but I always lose stuff when I move and then it turns up a year later. And it’s always the important stuff. I lost at least $300,000 worth of bling the last time I moved. Turns out I left it in my diamond-encrusted moving box. I’m just saying, the Hogan family doesn’t seem the sort who are so spot-on-intelligent that they could keep track of all their crap. Apparently this is just the most recent in a rash of bizarre problems for the Hulk – his Lamborghini erupted into flames a while ago – for no reason.

“In the latest bit of bad fortune, Hogan was moving out of his home in the 2900 block of North Bay Road on Thursday when jewelry — including a platinum diamond watch and some diamond-encrusted dog tags — vanished, according to a report filed with the Miami Beach Police Department.

“Hogan’s son Nicholas told police officers he had left a watch and two necklaces wrapped in a T-shirt in his upstairs closet. About 3:30 p.m. he went to retrieve the items. Gone. Four maids and several movers were in the house at the time. They were questioned by police.

“Back in November Nicholas was driving the family’s yellow Lamborghini Diablo VT through a residential area not far from the Hogan residence when he smelled a burning odor. He pulled over and got out of the car — right before it burst into flames. Nicholas wasn’t hurt, but the Lamborghini was burned beyond recognition.

“Hogan (birth name Terrence Gene Bollea) is an actor, former professional wrestling champion and VH1 reality show star. The reality show revolved around his life at the house on North Bay Road, which set him back more than $12 million in 2006. That chapter of his life is coming to a conclusion. He and his family — wife Linda, son Nicholas and daughter Brooke, an aspiring singer — are moving away, likely back to their previous house in a Clearwater suburb, which they still own.”

[From the Miami Herald]

Something fishy is afoot. Although I’d never accuse the Hulk of solving the worlds’ energy crisis or doing long division in his head, he doesn’t seem as dumb as his kids - I’m putting the blame squarely on them. What are the odds that your car - driven by your 17-year-old son - just bursts into flames and he didn’t do a damn thing wrong? I’m guessing Brooke ate the jewelry on accident, and now she’s too embarrassed to fess up.

Picture note by JayBird: Here’s a picture of Brooke Hogan rocking her grillz. I’m pretty sure this is where her brother’s jewelry went. Below is a photo of the Hogans’ home taken this morning. I can’t tell if that’s a house or a medical center. I’m going to guess that it doubles as both. Thanks to Splash for the photos. Header image of Hulk & Brooke at the Z100’s Jingle Ball.
