Do you really miss being in the limelight for this?

Nick Hogan served 6 months at the Pinellas County Jail for causing a car crash in 2007 that left his friend John Graziano severely brain damaged. He was released one year ago but the memories of jail haven't left him.

He tells Life & Style:

“There are moments that haunt me to this day. There are times when I’ll be watching a prison movie and hear the sound of a gate slamming, and I get the willies. It was horrible.

"Time away from my family was the most difficult part of my sentence. One of the things that makes you feel comforted is talking to a family member. But you don’t have a phone — you have to wait until it’s your time of the day to call. You miss being able to connect with people because everyone there is just cold, just brutal.

"Jail was definitely one of the worst experiences of my life. But it was also one of the best things that ever happened to me — just because of how much it changed me."

Well, jail isn't exactly a vacation, Nick! It's supposed to suck!

You know, we think it's pretty selfish of you to get paid for interviews like these like you're some sort of victim.

We know it was an accident, and a tragic one at that, but if you think your life was changed think of your friend John and his family!

If this is true, we feel bad for Hulk Hogan.

According to Hogan, he was so depressed after his former wife Linda filed for divorce back in 2007 that he almost committed suicide.

Really??? Over HER?????

The former wrestler reveals that tidbit in his new autobiography, My Life Outside the Ring.

The book, which was released today, is actually dedicated to Linda, in which Hulk writes "To Linda, I pray that you find peace and joy in life. I love you."

Burn!

According to Hulk, the problems came soon after his douche son Nick got arrested back in August 2007 after his car accident. Then, four months later, Linda filed from divorce - which caused Hulk to lose it a bit.

Hogan says he later found himself downing Xanax pills with rum while holding a gun in his hand. Hogan writes, "I could feel the life draining out of me. It had me curling my index finger on the trigger of a loaded handgun and putting it in my mouth. Obviously I didn't kill myself, but I came damn close."

He also goes on to reveal his former steroids use. Big surprise there! And his use of cocaine back in the '70s and '80s.

Hogan even mentions his affair with Brooke's friend and his current romance with his girlfriend, Jennifer McDaniel.

Expect to see a lot of Hulk Hogan these next two weeks as he goes on a media tour to whore out his book.

Little Brooke Hogan celebrated her 31st 21st birthday party Vegas style on Tuesday.

The peroxide blonde partied it up at Pure Nightclub with daddy Hulk Hogan, his much younger girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel, and lil bro Nick Hogan.

We sure hope Nick wasn't drinking, as he's only 18!

Noticeably absent from the festivities was mom Linda Hogan.

Either she's really a crazy ass and no one can stand her so she wasn't invited or Brookie-poo just loves the parent with the most $$$.

Why do U think Linda wasn't at the party? Too busy to make it to her daughter's birthday?

Reckless driver Nick Hogan is due back in a Florida courtroom in March 2010!

The family of John Graziano, the victim of Hogan's August 2007 car crash that permanently left Nick's former friend in a vegetative state, has slapped the Hogans with an auto negligence civil lawsuit!

Judge W. Douglas Baird has set aside three weeks next March in which to administer the trial, that is if the Grazianos and Hogans don't settle out of court before 2010!

Expect to hear Nick bitching and moaning over his pending court date because we can't imagine the Graziano family will be settling with the Hogans anytime soon!

What's up, California?

First you pass Prop 8, and now this?

The California DMV has granted Nick Hogan a driver's license, devoid of any of the restrictions his probationary Florida license is under.

Following Nick's "no contest" plea to felony reckless driving charges connected to a horrific car crash that left his friend John Graziano permanently brain damaged, Nick had his license revoked for three years. He was later granted a hardship license in Florida to drive.

Initially, the California DMV said that it would not recognize Nick's license, making it illegal for him to drive anywhere in the state.

But Nick has now been granted his license, with his lawyer explaining, "California is one of the states that looks at the fact that he had a valid license in Florida, albeit with certain restrictions, but they don't recognize those restrictions. So, he's given a full license to drive in California."

Way to go California!

The roads won't be safe for drivers…or cyclists…or pedestrians!

There's a new twist to that murder-for-hire story involving Joe Graziano, the father of Nick Hogan's car crash victim!

Sources reveal that Joe might have been targeting Linda Hogan in addition to his estranged wife!

The cougar's flack said that the former Mrs. Hogan was "scared to death" by this revelation.

"Any threat from Ed Graziano would and is being taken very seriously," said Linda in a statement.

Police officials would not confirm claims that Linda Hogan's 'assassination' was part of Joe Graziano's plot.

This is so Chris Brown of him!

Joe Graziano, the father of Nick Hogan's car crash victim, John Graziano, has been booked by the Pinellas County Sheriff for putting a hit out on his wife, Deborah.

Is this guy not human? His son was left brain-damaged by the Hogan crash and he wanted to add to the family’s ‘problems’ by arranging a hit????

According to detectives, Joe paid $1100 in cash, another $1,100 in a personal check and a gift card to Westshore Pizza to have his estranged wife murdered.

WTF? Pizza for a life?

The cops began their investigation in mid-December and picked Graziano up for booking last Thursday.

Crazy, crazy stuff.

Tampa residents, beware, Nick Hogan is behind the wheel of a car again!

Last year, a judge ordered that Nick have his driver's license revoked for three years. You know, because of that horrible accident back in August of 2006 that Nick caused while speeding and almost killing his friend - leaving him permanently brain damaged, though.

Well, Nick is now legally allowed to drive. Somewhat.

According to the spokesperson for the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, the irresponsible driver will receive a "business-purposes-only driver's license" this coming Friday.

That's only about 3 days left of safety on the streets!

Wonder what the family of Nick's former friend, John Graziano, thinks of this???

But more importantly, what type of work does Nick even have????

And why the hell can't he just be forced to take the bus or ride a bike?

Expect a comment from media-loving mom Linda Hogan sometime soon, like, within seconds.

Are the Hogans a magnet for bad driving?

After idiotspawn Nick Hogan infamously crashed his car last August, leaving passenger John Graziano III permanently brain damaged, we have news that mother and wannabe cougar Linda Hogan was just involved in a fender bender very near the site of Nick's accident in Clearwater, Florida.

Although this time it looks like it wasn't her fault.

Her white Mercedes was rearended by a red Camaro, with the Camaro receiving the brunt of the collision while Linda's car received minor damage.

Her little orange cub came to her rescue.

Okay, so maybe we can cut Linda some slack here….

But we won't!
