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.

Paparazzi to Nick Hogan yesterday: "Nick! Nick! If you could sum up
your time in jail last year in one facial expression, what would it be?"
Nick Hogan leaving Gold's Gym in Venice (7/9)
Thought I'd start the week off with some humor, so here's Nick Hogan trying to act tough while leaving a gym in Venice last week. Um, I don't think you're allowed to strike that pose if you've ever been someone's jailhouse girlfriend. Honestly, I've been more intimidated by Girl Scouts trying to sell me cookies . . . or as I call them:
agents of Satan. *shivers*
Nick Hogan in Miami (7/4)
It must be nice for Nick Hogan to celebrate the Fourth of July as a free man (as opposed to last year when he
was in jail). Nothing ruins a holiday faster than a good ol' fashioned anal raping. In related news, Columbus Day 2005
never happened. You hear me? It. Never. Happened.
Nick Hogan in Santa Monica (3/27)
I think we should all donate money and start some kind of fund for Nick Hogan. Kid's having a tough time getting his reality show picked up. I guess network execs have a thing against people who
effectively kill their friends and then show
no remorse. From
Fox:
The "Hogan Knows Best" family again hit the spotlight again last year when the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office released audio tapes of Nick's jail phone conversation with his dad during his incarceration several months earlier. The conversation included Nick saying that crash victim Graziano was a "negative person" and he also asked Hulk to organize him a spin-off reality television show after his release.
"I want to do where I’ll make the most money," Nick said, his father adding that he’ll produce the show and make his son the owner.
But so far Nick hasn’t any luck with that controversial show of his, with an insider telling Tarts that the production companies and hesitant to even touch it. A rep for VH1 (the network behind "Hogan Knows Best" and the spin-off "Brooke Knows Best") confirmed to Tarts that there was nothing in the works regarding Nick.
Imagine if there'd always been this kind of resistance to washed-up, no talent stars trying to get their own TV shows. We never would have been exposed to such classics as
Being Bobby Brown,
Flavor of Love, or
The Tyra Banks Show. Pretty much the only way Nick Hogan is gonna find himself on TV again is if he's involved in a foot chase on
Cops. "I'm in pursuit of a white male wearing baggy pants and three pounds of fake gold chains. Suspect keeps flipping his middle finger at me and shouting 'Do you know who I am'."
Brooke Hogan got hackedSo I guess Brooke Hogan had her sidekick hacked by one of the folks over at Digital Gangster. Her cell number is (786)329-2262. Called it, it's been disconnected. The Hulk's number is (727)215-4037. Called it, it rings and leads to his voicemail greeting. You can definitely tell it's him. Nick's cell is (305)395-2267. The number forwards to a taxi service which I thought was pretty appropriate. More from this later today . . .

Nick Hogan at LAX airport (2/2)
While
his friend John Graziano rots away in a hospital bed, Nick Hogan is once again cruising the mean streets of Florida. From TMZ:
If you live in central Florida, watch out for a speeding yellow Supra -- Nick Hogan has just been allowed back behind the wheel. Nick was just granted a driving permit for business-related excursions -- meaning he can only drive from home to work and back again ... no exceptions. Last May, a judge ordered Hogan's license to be revoked for three years because of his 2007 crash that left his buddy, John Graziano, with serious brain damage. (Source)
Giving Nick Hogan back his driver's license is about as safe as giving Jeffrey Dahmer a set of steak knives or William Hung a microphone. As it turns out though, the residents of Florida should consider themselves lucky. If Nick is only allowed to drive for work-related activities, it'll be years before he's on the road again.
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:

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.
