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.”

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.”

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.”

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.

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.”

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.
