There's a strange new twist in the Hogan - Graziano case. That began with a street racing incident that left Hulk Hogan's son Nick in jail and his best friend John Graziano, a 23 year old ex marine, in a coma. The Hogan's didn't come out of that smelling like a bouquet of roses, especially when jail house phone conversations between Hulk & son were leaked, in which an apparently stoned Nick (he had serious trouble pronouncing the word 'reality') and his father discussed how they would cash in on the incident as a possible reality TV pitch, once Nick regained his freedom. To give Hulk the benefit of the doubt, a parent might say anything to keep their kid from freaking out in a situation like that. However even Hulk sounded a little shocked when Nick described Graziano as a 'negative person'.
Well now it appears that there is another villain in the piece, and these are closer to home. In this case it's Edward Graziano, the father of the victim. As you might expect, some tension built up between Edward and his wife Debra Graziano after the accident. So much so that they eventually split up. The Hogan's have been very good to Debra since the split - they've found her an apartment close to the hospital so she can visit her son, and provided her with between $3000 and $4000 a month living expenses. Edward, however, remains committed to exacting revenge.
He's motivated by greed too, if the recent reports are any indication. He's said to be expecting to make millions off of the Hogan's. In fact he's turned down a 30 million dollar settlement in order to keep pursuing the case. He doesn't feel like sharing either. On Feb 26th he was arrested for trying to arrange the murder of his wife. Seems that Edward got arrested for trying to hire an undercover cop as a hit man. Graziano gave the guy $1100 in cash, a $1000 personal check, and a $13 gift certificate if the guy would get ride of the wife. Ed even had a method in mind - car accident. Had he gotten away with it he would have then become the sole beneficiary of any award. As it is, he is in the custody of the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office in Florida.
O Knows
Speaking of crime and punishment, Oprah Winfrey has some strong words for Rihanna regarding Chris Brown - "He will hit you again!"
Now don't say that you weren't warned Rihanna, 'cause O knows! At least she was more understated than Donald Trump, who has called Rihanna a loser for taking Brown back. Now that's kind of harsh; since Rihanna has only allegedly taken Brown back the worst you can say is that she is allegedly a loser. BTW I love the way Oprah has 'allegedly' recreated the View in her panel segment. It's better to have a good idea than a new idea.
Dog days
As for Chris Brown, he's asking for a plea bargain in his felony assault case, with hopes of avoiding jail time. Wortd has it that his victim Rihanna is even giving him some image management tips. She's even urged him to join an animal rescue program, with the hopes of taming his inner breast, and help him come off looking good in public. In the heriarchy of social causes animals even out rank third world kids, so helping animals should cancel out the stigma of beating a woman. Chris will have to ride through the night, one night a week, in search of un neutered strays. Is redemption worth it?
Crime Pays - Octomom Optimum mom?
Well lest you've lost you faith in the way of the world the next little piece should come as a relief. Nadya Octomom Suleman has gotten a spacious new home. It's got 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 25 000 square feet. It's a considerable step up from her previous digs, which are owned by her mother, and are about to be foreclosed on. BTW I also hear that Octomom is gonna be waited on hand and foot, and basically be spoiled rotten! Well, if anyone wants me, I'll be at the fertility clinic getting my name on the invitro list!
Here at Mocksure if we can't undermine your faith in celebrity, at least we can restore your faith in larceny! Speaking of crime, even Miley Cyrus is in on the act - as she helps herself to a reserved handicapped parking spot at Millions of Milkshakes.
Notice how she chats up the paps, probably smugly thinking to herself the whole time "I've got those suckers eating out of my hand". Daddy taught her well. However she remains blithely unaware of the huge bright blue reflective handicapped parking sign glowing in the paps camera lighting from over the hood of her car. These celebutards and their sense of entitlement make me sick!
