    Nick Hogan is speeding out of jail…

    The Hulkster’s son is now scheduled for release on October 21, three months shy of his eight month sentence for felony reckless driving.  According to People, Nick is being released early for good behavior and work, which is standard practice in Florida.

    The Court Knows Best

    August 14th, 2008

    After watching Hulk and Linda Hogan (aka Terry and Linda Bollea) wrestle in family court for two days, a Florida judge has made several decisions that affect the former reality tv family’s finances. In addition to ruling that that Hulk does not have to buy a $4.2 million Las Vegas condo that Linda wanted, the judge issued the following temporary orders:

    1. Linda will receive $40,000 per month (tax free!) for living expenses for one year, starting September 1.
    2. Linda has use of the couple’s home on Willowdale in Belleair Bluffs.
    3. Hulk has the use of the couple’s home on Eldorado in Clearwater.
    4. Hulk must pay for utilities and household help at both homes.
    5. Hulk is responsible for filing the couple’s joint federal tax returns for 2007 and 2008.

    So, Hulk has to do the taxes and pay for someone to clean up after Linda? That’s what the legal community calls a body slam!

    You’ll Have A Better Weekend Than…

    May 9th, 2008

    Nick Hogan. After throwing himself at the mercy of the court today, Nick was sentenced to: (a) eight months in jail; (b) five years’ probation; (c) 500 hours community service; and (c) the judge suspended his license for three years.

    This is not the end of the road, though. The Hogan family still faces a civil lawsuit arising out of the August 2007 speed racing disaster that left Nick’s passenger and friend incapacitated.

    Nick Hogan Not Flexing Legal Muscles?

    May 9th, 2008

    According to TMZ, Nick Hogan is expected to plead either no contest or not guilty to a charge of felony reckless driving arising out of the August 6, 2007 speed racing incident that left his 22-year-old passenger incapacitated.

    Popsquire’s perspective…

    Sometimes, you just gotta fold. His lawyers must have told him there just wasn’t any kind of defense and, instead, he should hope for mercy from the court. The maximum penalty is five years in prison.

    Yikes. Maybe Nick can tell the judge, “I love your smile,” and see if that works. Just like Shanice.

    Hulk Hit With Lawsuit

    March 25th, 2008

    Hulk Hogan better start flexing some legal muscles!

    In a new lawsuit, the guardian for John Graziano — the incapacitated 22-year-old active-duty Marine who was a passenger in Hogan Knows Best 17-year-old co-star Nick Hogan’s Toyota Supra when it crashed in late August 2007 — seeks to recover damages from Hulk and Linda for their son’s actions. Here are some highlights from the lawsuit’s allegations and theories:

    1. Nick negligently operated his Toyota Supra by racing another man in a Dodge Viper, a car also owned by Hulk.
    2. The Hogans were aware of Nick’s speed fetish and knew that he had altered his vehicle for racing.
    3. Hulk purchased alcohol the day of the accident and “knew or should have known” Nick was driving under the influence and failed to take appropriate action.

    Popsquire’s perspective…

    Parents of underage drivers take an enormous financial risk every time their child gets behind the wheel. In many states, parents can be held liable for the negligent acts of minor drivers, and most parents are not even aware of the extent of the liability.

    Popsquire is surprised that the Hogan’s insurance providers didn’t settle this case before it resulted in formal litigation. Stay tuned!

    Divorce-a-mania!

    January 27th, 2008

    The Hulk Hogan divorce proceedings are heating up in Florida. According to a local news outlet, Linda Bollea (Hulk’s wife) has asked a judge to stop Hulk from spending any of the $10 million he received in the sale of one of their homes and to freeze all of Hulk’s accounts. Popsquire’s perspective…

    Florida is not a community property state. Instead, its statutes and case law provide for an “equitable distribution” of marital property. Basically, the marital property should be divided fairly or equitably (not necessarily equally) between the parties regardless of how the title is held.

    The division is based upon all facts of the case and the contribution of both spouses to the marriage.

    Popsquire wonders whether any marriage can survive a reality show these days. Other than the Osbournes, the track record is terrible, evidenced by the fall of the following marriages: Nick/Jessica, Carmen/Dave, and Shana/Travis. Despite this evidence, Popsquire is still feeling hopeful and romantic today. So, please listen to this Huey Lewis & The News classic and visualize the Hogans getting back together. Secret it!
