Hulk Hogan Gossip, News & Photos

Even though the glove did not fit - OJ Simpson will never live down the murder wrap for Nicole Brown's death he faced years ago (in 1994 - can you believe that much time has passed). In fact, while talking about wanting to kill his ex-wife's new boyfriend, Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea) brought up the athlete in his description on how he is currently feeling.

Hulk is currently in a bitter divorce battle with his wife Linda, 49, and is having a hard time accepting her relationship with a much younger man who has moved into his old home. The 55-year-old star told Rolling Stone magazine:

"I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody's throat. You live half a mile from the 20,000 sq ft home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater and 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."

Hogan also claims that Linda is spending an average of $40,000 a MONTH, but his wife's lawyers deny this allegation. OUCH!

Divorce is hard enough as it is, but for some couples it's tougher than others.  Linda Hogan took Hulk Hogan to court today over their gardener.  Linda accused Hulk of having the gardener do more than just prune bushes.

In court papers filed last week, Linda alleges Hulk "Spies on Wife by constantly questioning Mr. Cruz regarding Wife's visitors to the marital home. Husband demands Mr. Cruz provide him with all information regarding when visitors arrive, leave, which rooms they occupy, etc."

Hulk Hogan denies these allegations.  He was forced to pay Linda the gardener's wages, however (which Linda had paid but said he was supposed to).

And to have all this play out publicly... ugh, I don't envy the Hogans.

This divorce just keeps getting uglier.  Who knows who's telling the truth in this case, but Hulk Hogan has been accused by Linda Hogan of hiding assets from her so she can't get her hands on them. 

He's "trying to hide assets by passing them on to his pal Eric Bischoff for a discounted price, according to TMZ.com Linda Bollea’s lawyers have filed papers at Florida’s Pinellas County Court arguing over the rights to the star’s many associated brands including Hollywood Hulk, Hulkster, Hulkamania, as well as his product lines such as his own brand grill and energy drink."

Of course, Hulk's lawyer denies everything.

"There has been no siphoning of money - if Linda has to ask again, we’ll be more than happy to provide the same answer."

When they were on Hogan Knows Best, I would have never in a million years DREAMED that this family would end up like this.  I guess it just goes to show that even the most solid seeming marriage can crumble in an instant.

As a parent, I suppose no matter trouble our children get into, we'll always find a way to be proud of them somehow.  Hulk Hogan thinks Nick Hogan reacted well to the judge's sentencing.

"When the judge said, ‘You’re gonna get eight months in jail,’ Nick didn't turn around and look at me for advice, guidance or anything. He just took it like a man. I never got to say goodbye to him.” 

If Nick had asked him for advice, I have a feeling that Hulk would have told him to try and escape as much responsibility for the accident as possible.  I still get shudders when I think of that phone call Hulk made to Nick in jail telling him to work the situation to his advantage and get a reality show.

 

Now that Nick Hogan is out of jail, I guess The Hogan family has a reason to be in the spotlight once again. The Hulk sat down with Michael Yo on the Daily 10 to talk about his relationship with ex-wife, Linda.

When Yo asks how he deals with the pressure of going through a very public divorce, Hogan says:

“You know when she finally decided she wanted to file for divorce I begged her not to because brother, when I put my hand on the Bible and I said for better or for worse, til death do us part I was one of these guys who thought I was going to be together forever. Hey I screwed up. I made mistakes you know, but I’ll sit there and tell you I did something. If I did something I’ll say I did it.

When I get this call that my wife wants a divorce I felt like a mule getting kicked by a horse. But I regrouped, got through it, started thinking positively and it was tough. I had some moments when I was like, ‘Oh my God. Am I gonna jump? Am I gonna make it?’ But you know what brother? I readjusted my thinking and I put my faith, I put God first and it’s all alright already. It’s all gonna be OK.”

When asked about the younger man Linda is seeing, Hogan says:

“I’m not here to throw stones, but I’m seeing a girl right now. Jennifer who’s 35 and I’m 55 bro. She came into my life when I needed somebody to help me. Yesterday somebody showed me a picture of Linda coming through LAX and Charlie - Linda’s 50 and Charlie’s 19 - he’s got a skateboard under his arm. And it kind of made my creep meter go up a little higher.

My hardest thing has been trying to explain this to my kids. I’ve said ‘guys your mother, the Linda that I know, loves you unconditionally. She’s a great person. She’s doing what she needs to do to get through this period of time. And sometime you have to love people from a distance if you don’t condone or believe in the way they are living their life.’ Linda living with and being in love with, and the guy is in the house he grew up in, and he went to school with you, and he’s one of your classmates -- that’s a tough one. I have a hard time explaining that one.”

Yo asks Hogan if knowing what he knows now, he would choose to do the reality show, he says:

Hulk Hogan sat down with Michael You and opened up about his son Nick and his time in prison. When Yo asks how he dealt with the pressure of Nick being in jail and going through a divorce, Hogan says:

“You know I just had to regroup and you know just really rely on what was in my heart and what I believe in, ‘cause Nick is my son 24 hours a day whether he hits a homerun or whether he strikes out, he's still my son. You know Linda says because she was visiting in LA, she's not responsible in any way shape or form for what happened. Well that's not me.”

When asked what Nick learned from his incarceration, Hogan says:

“He was on a roll. He was a young professional driver, he had the show going, and it all got real busy and then I think when he went to jail, he got stripped of everything. He got stripped of clothes, of watches, he got stripped of his identity, and he found out what's important in life. He knows what's real, and what's not real. And even before he went in there he was accountable, and he was responsible. And I think that's what he found out in jail, the most important thing, he understands what is real in life. You know it's about helping people, being positive, moving forward. He was a good kid before, he's a great kid now. He's not the same man he was when he went in there.”

Being stripped of his watch must have been terrible! All jokes aside, I hope Nick is a changed person. That's the whole point of incarcination isn't it?

I don't know... are you allowed to skateboard in prison? Kind of an odd gift to give a teen in jail. A book, a cake or a pile of magazines might have been a better option. It just might be Linda Hogan's way of giving him something to look forward to. I'm sure Nick Hogan is an avid skateboarder and really appreciated his gift-to-be.

"I showed him the skateboard and he was really happy he got a new toy for Christmas," Linda excitedly told reporters on the way out. Adding: "He's sad he can't ride it right now but he's going to burn up the sidewalks when he gets home." 

The gift will get good use in 8 months when Nick is released. Hulk's son cannot drive for three years. 

Larry King got Hulk Hogan to open up about the accident that put his son in jail and his friend in a vegetable state. Hulk is leaning on his belief in God to get him through this and even breaks up a bit at the end of the video.

Way to raise a child Hulk Hogan. You have to listen to this taped call between Nick Hogan and his father. You would think it would be something like,

'Use this time to reflect on what you've done."

Instead, it's 'God did this to John Graziano because he was a bad person. Now, let's talk about how you can make the most money out of this jail stint.' Disgusting!!!!!!
