Nick Hogan at Toast restaurant in L.A. (8/26)

Poor Nick Hogan. He still has scary flashbacks from the 5 months he unfairly spent in jail last year. I swear, you put one guy in a permanent vegetative state and judges gets all crazy. From Life & Style:

Nick Hogan was released from a Florida jail a year ago, but the experience is far from a distant memory. “There are moments that haunt me to this day,” Nick tells Life & Style in an exclusive interview. “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 Hogan Knows Best reality star, 19, served nearly six months at Pinellas County Jail for causing a 2007 car crash that left his friend John Graziano critically injured. “Time away from my family was the most difficult part of my sentence,” says Nick. “One of the things that 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.”

“Jail was definitely one of the worst experiences of my life,” says Nick. “But it was also one of the best things that ever happened to me — just because of how much it changed me.”

I'm glad the experience changed Nick. You know who else it changed? John Graziano. Nick didn't mention him in the interview and he probably doesn't remember who he is but John was the Iraq War hero who Nick almost killed. This whole experience changed him because before Nick downed a few beers and crashed into a tree, John still had normal control of his bowels.

Nick Hogan released from jail

After 166 days behind bars, Nick Hogan was released from jail shortly after midnight this morning. TMZ says:

We're told he arrived back at his mom Linda's house to a thumping party, replete with loud music and cops surveying the scene. (Source)

Before everyone starts with the Nick bashing, please take a look in the mirror. I mean, who among us has never thrown back a few beers and then killed their best friend in a car accident? Boy if I had a nickel . . . In all seriousness Nick, I wish you the best. And by "best," I mean "a slow, painful death in which your diseased rectum spontaneously combusts from within." I mean that in the nicest possible way.

NOTE: Nick's victim, John Graziano, was unavailable for comment because the part of his brain that controls speech is splattered against Nick's dashboard.

You're an idiot

Remember back in May when Nick Hogan was sentenced to eight months in jail for effectively killing his friend John Graziano in a car accident? Because of good behavior, Nick's set to be released tomorrow from the Pinellas County Jail. In other words, what better time for the latest edition of: Brooke Hogan is clearly fucking high! Brooke wrote on her MySpace blog:

[. . .] I know- like I know -like I know- John is gonna walk out of that hospital and things will be ok again. I know his strength and I know he can do it with our prayers...... To all the people who have been supportive- It has helped MORE than you will ever know. I can not thank you enough.....Please pray for my brothers safety too... this is a really tough time he has gone through and I know all he wants to do is show you, John and his family how much he cares and understands.

ok. Back to the happy stuff! .......I just can't wait to see my Nicky! Im gonna make him every kind of food you can possibly think of! Hes been living on bread an potatoes so far and I know some mac'n'cheese is gonna hit the spot! LOL Thanks so much for listening and keep praying! Every day will be better and better and better. God bless you! Have a safe day!

Love you guys!

Brooke Brooke Brooke, I know I'm not a doctor, but trust me when I tell you this: John is in a "permanent vegetative state" -- he's not putting on his loafers and dancing out of that hospital anytime soon. Let me put it in terms you'll understand. Go to your kitchen. Get a banana. Throw it on the ground. That's John for the next 57 years. The end.

Nick Hogan getting out early for good behavior

Nick Hogan is getting out early. Though he was sentenced in May to eight months in jail for leaving his friend John Graziano in a permanent vegetative state after a street-racing accident, Hogan will be released three months early on October 21 because of good behavior. His lawyer Morris Weinberg Jr. explained to MTV:

"That's not early, that's when he would normally be released, once you figure in good time and all that. When you calculate good time, which everybody that's there that doesn't get in trouble [is granted], they come up with a date, and we've known that date literally since the day that he went in. October 21 is the day that we expect he will be released, but that's because of good time and all that." (Source)

Of course he's been on his best behavior. It's kinda hard to act up when you spend the majority of your day curled up in a fetal position in the corner, sucking your thumb. A good day for Nick is being able to eat almost half of his dinner cookie before the other inmates steal it. He's not exactly the type to stir shit up.

Nick Hogan is staying in solitary

uch like Paris Hilton last year, Nick Hogan is trying to bitch and whine himself out of jail. And much like Paris Hilton last year, DENIED. AP says:

Hulk Hogan's 17-year-old son will stay in solitary confinement for now. A judge on Tuesday denied Nick Bollea's request to change the conditions of his jail sentence because solitary confinement is causing him "unbearable anxiety." (Source)

How ironic. Nick's friend John Graziano -- the one that was sitting in the passenger's seat when a drunken Nick crashed into a tree -- is also suffering from unbearable anxiety. I think it may have something to do with THE FUCKING HOLE IN HIS HEAD.

NOTE: Apologies for the graphic image of John Graziano. If it makes you feel even one more ounce of contempt for Nick Hogan and his awful family, then this post is a success.

Blame the victim

TMZ got ahold of another jailhouse phone call from Nick Hogan, this time with his dad. Unlike Nick's last phone call, there's little crying and a lot of victim blaming. TMZ summarizes:

While crash victim John Graziano lies in a permanent vegetative state in a hospital with a hole in his head, Hulk Hogan says that God laid some "heavy s**t"on him because of things that he was "into." Nick agrees, saying John was a "negative person."

I agree with the Hulk. John Graziano ended up a vegetable, destined to spend the rest of his life in a hospital bed, because of something he was "into" -- namely Nick's car! Blaming John for that horrible auto accident is like me blaming my condom for Alessandra Ambrosio's pregnancy. Because in the end, it wasn't faulty rubber that caused both her and Nick's car to end up wrapped around a pole . . . it was heavy drinking.

Nick Hogan is not doing well in jail

According to Nick Hogan's friends, he is not doing well in jail. Earlier this month, Nick started serving an 8 month sentence at the Pinellas County Jail in Florida for a street-racing crash that left his friend John Graziano permanently disabled. Hogan's friend told the New York Post:

"Nick's doing really bad. He's struggling to even form a sentence. They have him in a cell by himself, isolated from the general population, because of threats. He didn't understand how awful jail really is

until now." (Source)

In Nick's defense, it is difficult to "form a sentence" when your cellmate's given you lock-jaw. Burn!

John Graziano today, tomorrow, next week, next year, etc.

Brooke Hogan posted an epic rant to her MySpace page today about her brother Nick and his trial for felony reckless driving. Being that I don't speak retard, I didn't understand everything she wrote but I think someone lied about something . . .

BS

Current mood: pissed off

Category: Life

I know most of the public thinks my brother is some rich little selfish kid, but NO ONE knows the real story and I'm really pissed that the truth didn't come out from either side. A LOT of lies were told in that trial. Believe me. And it wasn't from us. John was NEVER home. He was at our house. ALL THE TIME. that should say enough…. Im not going to be out spoken right now, but If some s*** doesn't start getting straightened out, A lot of people are going to eat their words for lieing. I know all of the truth and I have back up. I never know how twisted this world could be but I'm starting to figure it out. And I'm gonna have to jump off my high road and tackle some ppl who are taking the low road. I know you guys don't understand, but you will really really soon. Keep praying. And by the way, before you judge anybody, make sure you really know them. I promise you if you were to meet my brother he would give you the shirt off his back. He's not "NICK HOGAN." AND hes not the person he plays on tv. People are so gullible now a days…

Stricken by a momentary bout of sanity, Brooke took down that posting and replaced it with this one:

I have the truth on my side. And the truth will set everyone straight sooner or later. PEACE

ps: yes I took my last one off cause I know itll go around anyway. Have at it ppl.

Oh shit, I didn't know John was NEVER home and at the Hogan's house ALL THE TIME. And yet the judge still gave Nick eight months in jail for wrapping his Supra around a tree and robbing John of living a normal life without a softball-sized hole in his skull. Where'd he get his law degree, off the back of a cereal box? The term "miscarriages of justice" has a tendency to be overused nowadays but I think it's appropriate in this case.

Nick Hogan is a piece of shit

As we speak, Nick Hogan is in a Pinellas County, Florida, courtroom facing the music for that little street-racing accident last year that left his friend -- Iraq War veteran John Graziano -- with permanent mental and physical disabilities. Earlier in the morning, Nick plead no contest to a felony charge of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury; his sentence is at the full discretion of the judge. A few highlights of the proceedings via TMZ:

UPDATE 2:14 ET: Prepare for waterworks ... here's the victim's dad, Ed Graziano. He tells the judge about John's decorated service in the Marines. And he says, "What al Qaeda couldn't do to my son, Nick did in a matter of minutes."

UPDATE 2:18 ET: And Ed Graziano continues, saying that he spends 10 hours a day at the hospital with John, and that John will spend the rest of his life with mental and physical disabilities. Hulk is peering over at the Graziano family. Ed says that when Nick went to the hospital to see John, he looked totally bored, and even shot dart guns and skateboarded around the hospital! OMG!

UPDATE 2:25 ET: Now up, John's sister Christian Carson. She says that sometimes she tries to call him, and breaks down when she realizes she can't. Tough. And she says that Nick has never apologized for the crash.

UPDATE 2:32 ET: [John Graziano's girlfriend] Ashley says that Nick's license plate COEHSP stands for "Capable of Eluding High Speed Pursuit."

Wow, Nick skateboarded around the hospital while his friend lay dying in bed. What a great guy. I think I'm in the majority here in hoping that part of Nick's sentence involves stripping him naked, handcuffing his wrists to his ankles, and then setting him loose in San Quentin.*

*Voted by Travel & Leisure as 2008's "Rapiest Prison in America!"

UPDATE: Nick's sentence was just handed down: 8 months in Pinellas County Jail, 5 years probation, 500 hours community service, 3 years suspended license.

Mr. Nanny: Defining movie of our generation? . . . actually, no.

Along with his wife Linda, Hulk Hogan is being sued by the family of John Graziano -- the guy his son Nick almost killed while street-racing last year (pics below). The suit claims that the Hulkster and his estranged wife Linda should be held legally responsible for the accident because they knew of their son's "need for speed and knew that he had souped-up his vehicle for the purpose of racing." TMZ says:

[The suit also alleges] Hulk purchased alcohol the day of the accident -- August 26 -- and that Hulk "knew or should have known" Nick was driving under the influence of the crash and he failed to take appropriate action. (Source)

This is why I try to abandon all my children before they're born. With the way lawyers are nowadays, nice guys like myself can't be too careful. Plus less money spent on diapers = more money for beer. Score!
