Tonight on CNN’s Nancy Grace, we’ve been invited on the show to reveal shocking, little known details about the driving records of Nick Bollea and the fellow driver piloting Mom’s Dodge Viper the night Hulk Hogan’s 17 year old son smashed his souped-up Supra last year, maiming ex-Marine John Graziano, a two-tour Iraq veteran.
We’ve also obtained police records –our readers saw here first — and talked with law enforcement about what happened that day. What did Hulk Hogan buy at Albertson’s Liquor store? The receipt shows:
–two cases of Miller Lite for $11.99 each; two cases of Corona Extra for $13.99 each; one case of Miller Chill Beer for $10.99; 5 bags of ice for $1.99 each. Hulk paid with credit or debit card and signed for it, then carried two of the packages out; the clerk recalls another young man carrying the third package. None acted like they’d been drinking at that point, nor smelled of alcohol, he told police. Read the rest of this entry »

“Look at those two assholes not getting anywhere fast,” said one witness, who told police Hulk Hogan’s son, Nick, behind the wheel of a yellow Toyota Supra, and a pal driving his mother’s Dodge Viper were “racing between lights” on the streets of Clearwater, Florida August 26, 2007. Weaving, tires smoking. Then Nick Bollea loses control and hits the 25 foot palm tree.
Shocking, little known details about the party boys that day, and their street racing before the crash. Never came out in court because Bollea plead no contest to reckless driving; no criminal trial necessary. But attorneys for the victim’s family lay it all out in a civil suit that charges Nick’s parents with negligence. They’ve denied any wrongdoing. Read on–and weep.
To find answers Hulk Hogan didn’t have for a Larry King Live the other night, we cued up the video, and dug up the exhaustive Nick Bollea Clearwater Police investigation into the tragic crash that’s put the hot-rodding Baby Hulkster behind bars for eight months, and left his friend, ex-Marine John Graziano, 23, hospitalized with permanent brain damage.

Jailhouse Rocks Reality: Nick Bollea Consults Dad on tatoos, vibes, reality show, making moolah
From Bald Truth Staff, (c) www.artharris.com, all rights reserved
Hulk Hogan donned an orange t shirt and color coordinated do rag to gripe Tuesday night on Larry King Live that the sheriff was unfair in releasing these personal family vibe sessions at the Pinellas County jail, as well as phone calls between him, son, Nick Bollea, and his estranged mother, Linda. Do they give you a bad vibe about Nick and the Hogans?
Instead of solitary, if we sentenced you to hearing all 26 hours, or would that be worse than solitary, cruel and unusual punishment? Worse than waterboarding? We haven’t heard Hulk charge the sheriff with treating Nickie boy worse than terrorists at Guantanamo. Yet.

By Art Harris, (c) www.artharris.com, all rights reserved
With Hulk Hogan scheduled to talk to Larry King tonight at 9 p.m. on CNN, we expect to hear more shocking jailhouse rants from Nick Bollea, 17, and evidence that parents Hulk Hogan and Mom, Linda Bollea, raised a problem child some might call a convicted celebrity whiner doing eight months behind bars in Pinellas County Florida after pleading no contest to reckless driving that caused seriously bodily.
The sheriff recorded 26 hours of family visits and released them to the media —- audio tapes that remain nothing short of shocking, and expose Hogan Knows Best reality parenting as insensitive and self-absorbed at best, say critics, allegedly spawning a teenager who did the crime, but doesn’t like doing the time one bit.

Even as he claimed historic victory stripes with enough delegates to be the first African American Democratic Party candidate for President, Sen. Barack Obama reached out Tuesday night to a crestfallen opponent and praised Hillary Clinton as a crusader for a better America.
But as we all saw, she didn’t leap to congratulate, or resciprocate. She wasn’t ready to throw in the towel. Yet. And that could present a big problem, and some say, a missed opportunity to unite the party at a critical moment. Read the rest of this entry »

ATLANTA, June 4–She’s “absolutely not” planning to toss in the towel, even if South Dakota and Montana go for Sen. Barack Obama as expected, says Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager.
Appearing on CNN Tuesday, Terry McAuliffe says she aims to keep fighting for uncommitted super-delegates, hoping they will ignore how their states voted to bring her from behind to win her party’s presidential slot. Read the rest of this entry »
Hillary Bean Counters Righteously Indignant…Declare Pop Vote Lead!
By Art Harris, (c) www.artharris.com
It’s all over but the crying.
Yet, to hear Hillary number crunchers spin it, Sen. Clinton walks away with the popular vote over Barack Obama in primaries that end Tuesday in Montana and South Dakota, AND against Sen. John McCain in her own face-off polls.
Just listen to the how-can-this-be-happening indignation from her bean counters in our clip…Hillary insisting she’s got blue collar white males and Hispanics in her hand, crucial demos that seem to be bolstered by victories in Puerto Rico and W. Virginia.
But she’s still losing—and fighting on. Why?
Well, well, well…there’s a personal reason no one has touched on, according to a longtime political reporter who has covered her, that may explain what many pundits cannot. Read the rest of this entry »

A long-time O.J. Simpson insider and former manager who claims he heard Simpson confess to killing his estranged wife and Ron Goldman, says the ex-football star described Nicole Brown Simpson opening the door that bloody night in 1994 with a large knife in her hand – the mystery murder weapon that was never found.
As someone who covered the trial and knew how frustrated LAPD homicide detectives became as they hunted for the mystery knife, I found that to be the most compelling detail in Mike Gilbert’s book, “How I Helped O.J. Get Away With Murder: The Shocking Inside Story of Violence, Loyalty, Regret and Remorse” (Regnery Publishing, 232 pages, $27.95). It went on sale Monday. Read the rest of this entry »
Papa’s Got a Brand New Boy!
Posted May 3rd 2008 11:05AM by TMZ Staff
Guess he really was the hardest working man in show business: A DNA test done by James Brown’s widow show he’s the father of little James Brown II.
The attorney for James Brown II says a DNA test confirms James Brown fathered the son of a woman who claims to be the singer’s widow. The attorney says that the 6-year-old boy was tested in April, before the paternity test was ordered by a judge. “If that was James Brown’s bone we tested, that’s James Brown’s kid,” says Robert Archer, PhD, director of Genetic Identity labs of Eugene, OR.
