Linda Bollea: Like Mother, Like Son?

She denies ever saying how much she loved street racing. But Linda Bollea was indeed caught gushing on tape: “Oh, I love it. I love it. The Rush, the speed on the road, stereoblasting, heartpounding, racing in between all the cards, dodging the cops. It’s awesome.”
Baby Hulk Mama’s comments can also be found quoted in the negligence lawsuit filed by the family of John Graziano, the ex-Marine paralayzed when Nick Bollea crashed his souped-up Toyota Supra into a palm tree on August 26, 2007. Read the rest of this entry »

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 »
Video Shows Nick Ticketed 2 Weeks before The Crash, Doing 82 mph in 45 Mile Zone.

“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.

Accused Teacher-Predator, Stephanie Ragusa; Nick Bollea with Hulk Dad

We were delighted to hear reports that Hulk Hogan’s son, 17-year-old Nick Bollea, was keeping his spirits up with a little Oprah-style inspirational lit (the Bible, joke books, etc.), while serving eight months in a Florida county jail after pleading no contest to reckless driving — crashing a car that killed a U.S. Marine pal home from Iraq.
Now we learn he’s got more uplifting words to cheer him on — fan mail from another infamous inmate behind bars just down the street: vixen-teacher Stephanie Ragusa, accused of seducing three of her teenage students in Hillsborough County, Florida. We’ve got a link to her letter on the next page.

Anti-Drug Crusaders Linell and Robert ShapiroÂ
By Art Harris, ©, www.artharris.com, all rights reserved
LOS ANGELES, Ca.–Any other night, the boulevards of Beverly Hills near the A list, celebrity fundraiser might be almost as dangerous as the streets of Baghdad. No snipers or IEDs, just the next star DUI waiting to be caught, Hollywood’s young and restless with a buzz on, feeling bullet-proof behind Maseratis, Vipers, Mercedes, Bentleys, or some pricey exotica aimed down mountain curves off Mullholland Drive.
But the streets were safer on a recent Saturday night in LA, designated Sober Night, 2008, by Los Angeles attorney Robert Shapiro, and his wife, Linell, who three years ago cranked up a drug awareness foundation in memory of their son, Brent, dead at 24 from an accidental overdose…among some 250,000 victims a year taken out by the ruthless sniper of pop culture, addiction.
Now, with American troops remembered on Memorial Day, many overtaxed emotionally after two and three tours in Iraq, how many will join the casualties back home? While the VA is rallying its troops, there are civilians on patrol, too, parents like the Shapiros, who mourn losses on the homefront, and channel their grief in an attempt to save others.

Stephen Phillps’ Soundtrack to War

Here’s what happened when the U.S. soldier, Stephen Phillips, phoned home like a good son, oops, in the middle of a Taliban firefight half a world away.
Thank automatic redial for the glitch that sent Mom, Sandi Petee, into a panic back home in Otis, Oregon when she played back the message and heard the soundtrack to war in Afghanistan: a three minute stacatto of machine gun fire, laced with panicked MPs yelling for more ammo…then a shout: “Incoming, RPG!” And the phone cuts off.

ABC’s Extreme Makeover Home Edition Builds Disabled Marine House Fit for a Hero

Like so many Marines, Staff Sgt. Daniel Gilyeat re-upped after a first Iraq tour ended in 2004. Caught in an emotional crossfire, he was fighting to save a crumbling marriage, but also felt he could “make a difference” fighting alongside his Marines.
It’s a tug-of-war that makes it tough for many warriors to leave the battlefield for home, even if they have to be carried off, like Gilyeat, who now ranks among almost 30,000 soldiers injured in a five-year war that has claimed the lives of almost 4,000 U.S. soldiers.

Lt. Cdr. Kevin Davis, Blue Angels pilot, killed in a crash Saturday
Art Harris, about to take off for his Blue Angels media ride-along flight as a cub reporter
—————————————
I was upside down, 10,000 feet over Marietta, Georgia, a cub reporter on a Mach-1 joy ride when my Blue Angels chauffeur decided to teach me a lesson in humility– a double barrel roll at about 700 knots…
“So, Art, are you ready for an experience?” the elite Navy pilot asked.
I was already having one, and don’t remember what I mumbled as the G-forces mashed my face into a pancake and pinned my right shoulder against the seat.
Moments earlier, I was bluffing macho as I climbed aboard for my media ride in an A4F Skyhawk over 20 years ago, when the elite Blue Angels switched to FA/18s, like the one that crashed Saturday killing Lt. Cdr. Kevin Davis, 32.
He was a decorated fighter pilot who’d flown combat missions over Afghanistan before joining the Angels in 2005, to narrate air shows, handle celebrity flights with stars like singer Kelly Clarkson and actor James Franco and fly dicey, breath-taking maneuvers that thrilled fans and boosted pilot recruitment.

U.S. Embassy sources in Baghdad tell The Bald Truth (TBT) that officials there will brainstorm this week the plight of the Iraqi doctor desperate to bring his crippled baby boy to a Texas surgeon willing to operate for free—IF the U.S. government will let him in, and the Iraqi government will let him out.
Consider the couple’s dilemma (Mustafa and Zina): as Iraqi doctors, they are trapped in a war-zone where half the country’s physicians and all its specialists have fled. It’s detailed in this week’s People magazine—AND featured on the Iraq news website http://www.iraqslogger.com/, launched by world-re-knowned journalist Eason Jordan, the former CNN executive who put the network on the map in Gulf War 1 and ran its Iraq War coverage for the 2003 invasion. I was embedded then as a CNN reporter with the 2nd Marines.
“We were touched by the story in People,” one Embassy official told TBT. “We can’t promise anything, but we are looking into it.” Read the rest of this entry »
