Hulk Hogan endorses Barack Obama, brutha!
In a move that's sure to provide a boost to Obama's fortunes among time-travelling high school kids from the early 1980s, Hulk Hogan - professional wrestler and reality teevee divorcee - has backed the Illinois Senator on the the Jimmy Kimmel show. Hogan, in picking Obama, cited something about "cards" and how Obama doesn't judge people based upon "the way people dress," which makes sense, considering Hogan offered his support whilst clad in a shimmery piece of yellow Saran Wrap that looked like it was stolen off the set of Miami Vice.

9. Ok, that's it...Hogan, Stallone, and Norris, in the octagon right now!
3 campy celebrity endorsers enter, one man leaves! (Ok, so maybe it's thunderdome, not the octagon. Whatever.)

Hulk Hogan Bought Beer For Nick Bollea Pals? Legal Troubles Mount
by Anna Elizabeth Anderson


Did the WWE's biggest star ever buy beers for his son hours before the horrific car wreck that left an Iraqi war vet in a coma?

Authorities in Clearwater, Florida have released a 133-page report detailing parts of their investigation into the August 26th car crash involving Nick "Hogan" Bollea that has left Nick's best friend, Iraqi War Veteran John Graziano in a coma and in need of lifetime care.

The report only adds to the mounting legal issues surrounding the biggest star in the history of Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Entertainment promotion, Terry Gene Bollea aka "Hulk Hogan".

Hulk Hogan Headed for Divorce

Apparently, Hulk Hogan doesn't know best when it comes to his marriage.

The retired wrestler was reportedly blindsided by the news that his wife, Linda Marie Bollea, had filed for divorce after 24 years together.

Court documents show that Bollea, 48, filed a petition for dissolution of marriage on Tuesday. (View the court documents.)


Reached for comment Friday by the St. Petersburg Times, Hogan, 54, said he was unaware of the development in his marital status and thanked the reporter for the "great information," before hanging up the phone.

He called back five minutes later to say he had been "kind of shocked" by the news.

"You caught me off guard. My wife has been in California for about three weeks," Hogan was quoted as saying. "Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me. I just pulled over to the side of the road for five minutes to find out what was going here."

13. oh dear
We are now at the level where even campy celebrity endorsements lead to muckraking posts trashing the celeb. I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry.
