Linda Hogan appeared on the KQRS morning show on Wednesday to promote her new book. Linda spoke about a number of topics, including recent allegations by the Ultimate Warrior that she and Hulk Hogan had an "open marriage.' She denies that claim and says based on what she's heard, Warrior is gay.

Regarding Warrior's claim that she and Hulk had an open marriage where each of them had romantic relationships on the side, Linda responded, "It's shock value. There's no truth to it as far as I'm concerned. As far as my life and what I've done and where I've been, absolutely no truth to it at all."

Linda claims she doesn't even know Warrior - and based on what she's heard, Warrior is gay. "I don't even know that guy. I've seen him behind the scenes at wrestling events back in the day. He's never been to our house. My kids don't know him. I've never met him other than hi or bye at an event. The truth is I don't know what my husband said to him. I don't know what they did behind the scenes. I wasn't even aware what my husband was doing in our marriage behind the scenes recently. In fact, the rumor is that Warrior is gay."

Linda was also asked about comparing herself to O.J. Simpson's late wife Nicole during a recent interview, when she said Hulk Hogan was physically abusive towards her and didn't want to wind up [dead] like Nicole Brown Simpson.

"No disrespect, I'm not comparing myself to her, I was comparing the situation. I put that message in my book. That's what I wrote the book for was to put that message out to women that you have a decision. If you're living in a marriage with abuse, and it can come in the form of infidelity, lying, and physical abuse, and as it escalates throughout the years, you tolerate some and it gets a little bit worse, and you tolerate that and it becomes the norm."

There is an article featuring Hulk Hogan on The Chicago Tribune. Below are some highlights:

His WWE Hall of Fame ring (which incidently covers a "Linda" tattoo on his finger): "I think Vince McMahon paid $20 for it. My high school ring was better than this thing."

His Musical spirations: "I was in England
presenting an award with Jerry Hall, Mick Jagger’s ex-wife, and she told me the [Rolling] Stones were looking for a bass player. I sent her a ton of merchandise that she asked for and said ‘Tell Mick I’m a great bass player.’ I never heard a word back."

Wrestling again: "People might say I'm too slow or crippled to get back in the ring. I can't say they're wrong. I heard Stone Cold [Steve Austin] say 'I'm not hanging around and embarrassing myself like some of these old guys.' I wonder who he's talking about, you know?"

Hulk and Linda Hogan settled their divorce today in Clearwater, Florida. The opposing lawyers actually hugged after the hearing and Linda was quoted as saying, “The war is over. I still love him. He’s the father of my children.” The terms of the divorce have not been made public. The Hulkster, who kissed Linda on the cheek when he entered the courtroom, says he isn’t sure if he will still live in the area now that everything is over.

The well-documented war of words between Hulk and Linda Hogan has taken an ugly turn. The New York Post has some quotes from a recent interview Hogan did with Rolling Stone magazine where he talks about understanding how O.J. Simpson could [allegedly] murder his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson.

Linda Hogan walked out on Hogan last year, filed for divorce, forced him out of his $18 million mansion, allegedly started spending the couple’s money at the rate of $40,000 a month and is dating “some shaggy-haired pool boy 30 years her junior.”

Hogan tells Rolling Stone, “I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody’s throat. You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot 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.”

American Gladiator host and Pro Wrestler, Hulk Hogan cannot wait for his son Nick’s early release from jail in a few weeks for good behavior and he wants to set the record straight about it. He spoke to Fox Reality recently about the early release.

“He’s not getting home earlier. That’s the biggest misconception that everybody has. He was sentenced to eight months and just like the other 800 prisoners who have been released this year, if you work a full-time job, and you behave, you get days taken off,” he says. “He’s not getting out any earlier than he should have. He’s just working hard and not sitting in his cell staring at the walls. He’s been working a full-time job as a janitor scrubbing floors and toilets.”

Hogan has had a difficult year with his wife filing for divorce and his son going to jail for a drunk driving accident which left his friend permanently injured. Hogan told Fox Reality TV that he’s now seeing the light at the end of this very long tunnel thanks to some much-needed faith.

“It’s kind of weird because I’ve had a lot of fastballs being thrown at my head this past year. A lot of things happened with personal stuff and different legal problems,” he notes. “Someone said, ‘Don’t worry about it Terry because it’s alright already. It’s in God’s hands, and everything happens for a reason.’

“It made me wake up again and be very grateful and realize that I don’t have to go anywhere to find anything because God’s taking care of me as long as I follow the path and stay positive. Things are going to be great again.”

His Faith in God may be getting him through indeed. He has a new reality show, “Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling,” premiering tonight on CMT. 10 celebrities will attempt to become wrestlers.

Hogan stated, “I figured they might be using it to get another look on TV and may not take it seriously, but everybody on the show got so into this.” Of course some took it a little too far. “Dustin Diamond was living this character. He’s a big Andy Kaufman fan, and he was a comedian who got into wrestling, so Dustin pretty much copied his character. He just got on everybody’s nerves. There was definitely some drama.”

It's of no shock at this point that the name "Hogan" is not as innocent or squeaky clean as we all once thought. From the messy divorce that has been in the headlines between Hulk and wife Linda for months, to the reckless accident by son Nick that has landed him in prison for the next few months, no more can Hulk with a straight face tell us to "say our prayers and take our vitamins."

This is why this latest story is not much of a shock. With her "music" career, and I use that term lightly after one song that got moderate play on the radio, daughter Brooke Hogan is now being rumored to be the next WWE lady (despite never being in a ring) to be doing Playboy. The rumor hit about a week ago, and this week it has picked up steam as the NY Daily News has confirmed that she has been approached about baring it all.

If you've seen Brooke more than once lately on your TV, it's due to the fact she's trying to push her new, awful, unwatchable TV show - "Brooke Knows Best," an unnecessary and sad take-off of "Hogan Knows Best," a popular reality show on VH-1 that actually was amusing, even more know with the extreme trouble the Hogan family in real life is having.

One of the main storylines in the "Hogan Knows Best" show centered around how daddy Hulk protected and basically sheltered Brooke for most of her youth, trying to keep her out of harms way, mostly meaning away from horny boys, for most of her teen years. Hulk's plans have clearly backfired, as Brooke not only used her "assets" to pose already for FHM magazine, but also her TV show seems to be about the young adult, her gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) roommate, and childhood friend roommate going to South Beach clubs to pick up guys.

Now the Playboy hotline is calling, complete with the WWE's likely backing if the Hogan daughter wants it. No better way to get Hulk in the fold for WrestleMania 25 in Houston than to have his naked daughter in Playboy and the WWE pushing it like they have for the past few years around Mania with Divas like Torrie, Ashley, Candice and last year's Maria.

With her "career" nothing more than hanging onto the coat tails of her father and sad attempts to be another peppy pop-star, I wouldn't doubt for a moment that the world will get to see ALL of what Hulk and Linda produced in the coming months in the most famous nudity magazine of them all.

Well, the rumors are true, in addition to her outlandish comments about her son’s car accident Linda Hogan is also in fact dating a 19 year old kid who went to school with her two children.

Brooke Hogan on her mother (pictured) dating a 19 year old: “Yes, it’s true. I’m totally freaked out. This is really weird. I personally don’t like it at all or condone it. I went to school with him. He was a grade under me. Me and Nick know him well. Me and Nick are two years apart, and he was right between us in school.”

Even though Hulk Hogan's son Nick is the Hogan child serving eight months in prison after pleading no contest to charges of reckless driving, friends of the Hogan family are more concerned about Nick's 20-year-old sister, Brooke.

A source told FOX News, "She's suffering the worst of all; she just can't keep it together and has been hit the hardest," said the source, adding that Brooke is "extremely sensitive" and her emotions are spiraling out of control. Brooke's relationship with her father was severely strained after it was revealed that Hulk had been cheating on Linda with Brooke's close friend Christiane Plante.

While the FOX News source said that Nick's arrest has "brought them a little closer to reconciliation," it’s not the case for Hulk and his wife, Linda. The estranged couple appeared together at Nick's hearing on May 9 for the first time since the news of their divorce.

"Basically they were trying to put their best foot forward and fake a public image of unity and support for their son," FOX's insider said. "He [Hulk] is a very astute businessman and very good at playing the media." He even admitted in court that their reality show was scripted and not so real after all."

From PWPIX.net

According to a report in the latest edition of the The National Enquirer, Hulk Hogan, who is divorcing his wife Linda after nearly twenty-five years of marriage, cheated on her with a female friend of his teenage daughter Brooke. The woman in question is 33-year-old Christiane Plante, who worked with Brooke on her CD release in 2006. Plante confessed her affair with Hogan in the tabloid. Plante claims the affair took place in 2007 while the family was shooting Hogan Knows Best. Christiane said: "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."

Reuters | Monday, 03 December 2007

Professional wrestling star Hulk Hogan has a message for his estranged wife, who filed for divorce without telling him first after about 24 years of marriage - hands off my money.

Linda Bollea filed divorce papers on November 20 against Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, seeking an unspecified amount of alimony and child support for their son, 17-year-old son Nick, as well as custody for the teenager.

They also have a daughter, Brooke, 19.

But according to the St Petersburg Times, Hogan, 54, filed a counter-petition in Pinellas County Court in Florida, saying his 48-year-old wife was capable of supporting herself and helping with child support.

Hogan said the couple's assets, including two homes, and their liabilities should be divided equally between them, and that Nick, who is legally a minor until his 18th birthday in July, was old enough to decide for himself where he will live.

Nick Bollea was arrested November 7 on reckless driving charges for an August 28 accident in Clearwater, Florida, that left his passenger, John Graziano, 22, in critical condition.

The newspaper said court documents showed the couple separated about a month after their son's car accident.

Hogan and his wife appear on the reality show Hogan Knows Best with their two children.

Published: November 26, 2007

CLEARWATER - Linda Bollea wants a share of two multimillion-dollar local properties she and her husband own as well as alimony, child support and attorney fees.

These are the details in a divorce petition she filed last week in Pinellas Circuit Court against famed wrestler Hulk Hogan after 24 years of marriage. The lawsuit says the marriage is "irretrievably broken."

The couple have one son who qualifies for child support – Nick Bollea, 17, who was arrested this month in connection with a wreck that left a passenger, John Graziano, with severe brain injuries. They also have a daughter.

Linda Bollea is seeking child support and a life insurance policy to cover child support in the event that Hogan dies, the petition states.

She wants wherever she decides to live to be Nick Bollea's primary residence, with Hogan allowed liberal visitation, the petition states. She also wants Hogan to pay for Nick Bollea's health insurance, the petition states.

Linda Bollea wants the couple's assets equitably distributed – including the family's $.7.2 million mansion on Willadel Drive, which has a gazebo, two boat davits, a pool, a fountain and three fireplaces. She also wants a share of a separate $2 million waterfront home, the petition states.

Neither property has a mortgage on it, the petition states.

The couple also have a condominium under construction in Las Vegas; Linda Bollea wants a share of that, too.

If the two cannot work out an arrangement, the properties should be ordered sold, with the money divided equally between the two, the petition states.

Linda Bollea also says she does not have enough money to pay a lawyer, though Hogan does.

Well, it's been a day of news, but not really about news in the ring. The big story is that Linda Hogan filed for divorce this past Tuesday from the Hulk. I an article you can read below from the AP, it appears that Hulk knew nothing about the papers being filed.

Yeah right.

Some reports are already stating that the whole divorce filing could be a huge stunt, done to get Hulk's name in the news for his upcoming American Gladitors show, and maybe back in the wrestling business somehow. I wouldn't put it past Hogan to do something like this, despite the fact it's just awful to use divorce as an angle.

Stay Tuned.

Linda Hogan Files for Divorce From Hulk

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — Linda Hogan has filed for divorce from her wrestler husband Hulk Hogan, a newspaper reported Friday.

Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, told the St. Petersburg Times that he had no idea his wife had filed for divorce. He was informed by a reporter that Pinellas County court records showed that the paperwork was submitted Tuesday.

"Thank you for the great information," he told the reporter.

Family spokesman Adam Handelsman referred calls to another spokesman, who did not immediately respond Friday night.

"My wife has been in California for about three weeks. ... Holy smokes," Bollea later told the newspaper. "Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me."

The couple star in the VH1 reality TV series "Hogan Knows Best," with their two children. Recent episodes show the normally close couple attending marital counseling, but they eventually reconcile.

On Nov. 7, Hogan's son, 17-year-old Nick Bollea, was arrested on reckless-driving charges after a car crash. Clearwater police said Bollea crashed his 1998 Toyota Supra on Aug. 26 while street racing against a silver Dodge Viper driven by a friend. A report said Bollea was driving faster than 60 mph in a 40 mph zone.

Bollea's passenger, John Graziano, was not wearing a seat belt and was critically injured. Bollea, who was wearing a seat belt, was not seriously injured.

The Hogans moved to a $12 million bayfront estate on Miami Beach in 2006 so their children, Brooke and Nick, could pursue singing and acting careers. They had previously lived in Clearwater, near Tampa.

The document that we have linked up at the bottom of this was filed in court in Florida back on Tuesday. Surprise? Well, not really considering the issues that Nick with his accident has forced on this family, and there was even an episode of "Hogan Knows Best" with talk of issues between Linda and Hulk. We'll keep you updated on this story as we get more wind of it.
