News

What 'cha gonna do, beach goers, when Hulk Hogan and Jennifer McDaniel - his new girlfriend who looks exactly like his daughter - run wild in the water with you?!?

While we prefer to stick with WWE spoilers and WWE rumors, this bit of gossip is too juicy to pass up:

It didn't take Hulk Hogan long to get over mistress Christiane Plante or wife Linda. The Internet is buzzing with photos of the former WWE champion and new girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel.

While we know little about McDaniel - IMDB lists a Jennifer McDaniel as a make-up artist, but there's no photo attached to her page - there's one fact we can report on:

Jennifer looks exactly like Hulk's daughter Brooke Hogan! And we mean, EXACTLY like her. See for yourself:

We don't typically report on celebrity gossip, but the following story is too juicy to pass up:

Christiane Plante (pictured), a 33-year old music producer who is friends with Brooke Hogan and worked on her 2006 album, has told The National Enquirer she had an affair with Hulk Hogan. It supposedly took place while the family was filming its reality show and, of course, Hulk was still married to Linda.

Here's what Plante had to say about it:

“My relationship with Terry began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending. She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed. Terry is a good man, good father and a good friend, and he and I grew close at a time when he was going through a very difficult period.

It seemed right then, but I know it was wrong. Having felt the guilt and pain build up, I gave a note to Brooke apologizing for my actions. I will never be able to fully forgive myself for this. I have lost an amazing friend.”

Sorry, Christiane, but you get no sympathy from us. Hulk is certainly to blame for his actions, but you consciously screwed over a friend. Literally.

In an interview with MTV.com, Hulk Hogan says he wants face Ric Flair at WrestleMania 24.

"They need a main event real bad. When I think about Ric Flair styling and profiling, when I think about Hulk Hogan going [head to head] with Ric Flair in my backyard, Florida...

I think that's where it's at. They got a lot of tickets, brother, that need to be sold," Hogan said, dissing the current two main events - Triple H vs. John Cena vs. Randy Orton; and Undertaker vs. Edge - in the process of hyping himself up.

Hogan also suggests that Vince McMahon could be guest referee in what he describes as the "perfect match" with "The Nature Boy's" career at stake.

What do you think? Would Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair still be a draw? Would you pay to watch it? Leave a comment. Let us know.

Linda Hogan has filed for divorce from Hulk Hogan. The couple has been married for 24 years.

It appears as though the WWE icon was shocked by the news. He was called by a reporter from The St. Petersburg Times last night, told about the divorce papers and responded with:

"You caught me off-guard. My wife has been in California for about three weeks. ... Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me. ... I just pulled over to the side of the road for five minutes to find out what was going on here."

Hulk Hogan has been tapped to host the remake of a 1980s classic: American Gladiators.

Here's the official NBC press release with the announcement:

Wrestling legend and television icon Hulk Hogan will flex his hosting muscle for NBC's latest midseason primetime offering, the return of the competition series "American Gladiators."

The announcement was made today by Craig Plestis, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, Development and Specials, NBC Entertainment.

"Hulk Hogan is an American icon," said Plestis. "For over twenty years he has been a symbol of strength and toughness in all facets of entertainment. His electrifying personality will no doubt inspire Herculean efforts from our everyday challengers. There is no one more qualified to host this program."

"Hulk Hogan is going to rock the American viewing public as the host of 'American
Gladiators,'" said "American Gladiators" executive producer and Reveille Managing Director Howard T. Owens. "This is the ultimate television vehicle for the ultimate action television star, The Hulk!"

"Gladiator-mania is gonna be running wild, brother," said Hogan.

Linda Hogan has released the following statement on behalf of her family, in regard to son Nick Bollea getting into a car accident last night:

"My son Nick and a friend were involved in a car accident last night. Nick suffered minor injuries and has been treated and released from the hospital. At this time, his friend, John Graziano remains hospitalized. Nick is currently at the hospital with John and his family.

His sole concern is for the well being of his friend. On behalf of my family, we ask that your thoughts and prayers be with John and his loved ones."

The son of Hulk Hogan was seriously injured in a car crash last night.

A Toyota Supra driven by Nick Bollea 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.

Alcohol is not believed to have played a part in the crash. The crash seems to have been caused by excessive speed, Shelor said.

And we're not talking about losing a controversial wrestling match!

Turns out the Miamb Beach home of Hulk Hogan and family home was robbed of a reported $100,000 worth of jewelry last night.

The Hulkster and his family were in the process of moving out of their abode when the jewelry was reportedly taken. Among the pricey items taken was a diamond-encrusted watch and two gold chains.

Hulk Hogan has lashed out at the industry which made him a megastar.

And he has demanded an end to the decades-long cover-up of steroid abuse in the sport.

Hogan took the muscle-enhancing drugs almost daily for 16 years during his career and says he can spot a user a mile off. With more than 100 grapplers dying before the age of 50 in the last decade, he is begging others to face up to the crisis.

The UK Sun has been leading an anti-steroid abuse campaign since wrestler Chris Benoit murdered his wife and seven-year-old son before committing suicide in June.

A handful of former stars have already spoken out and prompted US politicians to start investigating the industry. But many in the WWE deny there's a problem and have blasted their ex-colleagues as bitter failures who haven't wrestled in years.

They cannot same the same about Hogan, wrestling's equivalent of Pele or Muhammad Ali who was fighting for them just 12 months ago.

In an exclusive Sun interview, he said: "Are steroids a problem in wrestling? Oh God yeah. They have always been a part of the business. It's prevalent.

"But there's not some big mystery to it. Just open your eyes and it's there. You can look at a wrestler and pretty much tell. They will be above their weight range, with these big veins. My body weight is around 285lb, depending on how much junk I eat. Even if I was 25 and clean, I could probably only carry 300lb.

"Yet when I was wrestling I weighed anywhere between 320 and 340lb, because my body was full of water weight. My face was puffy, my arms were so bulky I couldn't touch my shoulders. You could take one look at me and know I was on something.

"Steroids have been around for ever in other sports too, but if we have to pick on somebody now then let's pick on wrestling. I'm glad the business is in the spotlight because they're probably the only ones smart enough, after being able to dodge it for so long, to know how to fix it."
