Perez Hilton: Wait, I’m a little taken aback by your outfit; you’re dressed quite provocatively.
Linda Bollea: Just for you.
Perez Hilton: Really? Is this your normal attire?
Linda Bollea: Kinda.
Perez Hilton: Wearing some big heels?
Linda Bollea: Well are we in Hollywood or what?
Perez Hilton: We are.
Linda Bollea: I’m doing Hollywood then.
Perez Hilton: All right, I like it. So you have a new book coming out, or it is out.
Linda Bollea: Yeah. It’s out.
Perez Hilton: It’s called, “Wresting with the Hulk”?
Linda Bollea: “Wrestling the Hulk”.
Perez Hilton: “Wrestling the Hulk”. Why did you decide to write the book?
Linda Bollea: You know what, I went through such a nasty divorce, and a lot of the marriage was good and then there was the part that was bad. And I think that there’s a learning curve in everything. You know there’s a silver lining to every storm, and I found the silver lining to be, you know that I learned something. And maybe I stuck around the marriage too long, maybe I stayed too long, maybe I should have left sooner. But you know whether it was right thing or the wrong thing —
Perez Hilton: How long were you together for?
Linda Bollea: You know I hope they can learn by my mistakes or my lessons that I’ve learned.
Perez Hilton: There’s this theory that reality TV shows kind of are a killer of relationships. Do you think that really hurt your relationship or was it good for you, and Hulk, and the family? What’s your take on that?
Linda Bollea: Yeah, you know, I mean, there’s a lot of good and bad about reality. And you know you open your front door and you’ve got — we had 28 people in our film crew so everyday 28 people. Thank God we had a big house. But it is invasive. And it can kind of — it forces you guys to be together when you know you really need to take a break, or you want to go do something but you’re really just together. But we were together in always good and funny scenarios. You know even when there were arguments; they were always a little bit more contrived for TV. But I think honestly, we were having problems. And had we not had the show, I don’t think we would have probably stayed together as long as we did.
Perez Hilton: After the — well the divorce is, is it done, done now?
Linda Bollea: Yes, it’s final and —
Perez Hilton: Because it took a while and what was that divorce process like because it wasn’t quick, and there was a lot of money involved, and all that? You think, were you happy with it? Do you think it was fair?
Linda Bollea: Oh I had one very good lawyer, and he had six not so good lawyers.
Perez Hilton: Hey. So he’s moved on, he’s married now, and you moved on and then you are still dating the same boyfriend?
Linda Bollea: Uh-huh.
Perez Hilton: Charlie?
Linda Bollea: Yep.
Perez Hilton: He’s how old again? Twenty?
Linda Bollea: He’s 23.
Perez Hilton: Twenty-three now?
Linda Bollea: Yeah.
Perez Hilton: And you’re 47?
Linda Bollea: Fifty-one.
Perez Hilton: Fifty-one. And you’ve been dating for like three years now.
Linda Bollea: I know, three years. You know —
Perez Hilton: Which was a lot longer than anybody thought. And have you had a conversation about like, does he want to have kids?
Linda Bollea: [Watch above.]
Perez Hilton: Does he have a job?
Linda Bollea: No.
Perez Hilton: All right, his job is to keep you happy.
Linda Bollea: Yeah.
Perez Hilton: You have a lot of sex?
Linda Bollea: Yeah.
Perez Hilton: Once a day?
Linda Bollea: Yeah.
Perez Hilton: At least.
Linda Bollea: No. Not once a day. Probably like you know every day, every other day. So —
Perez Hilton: Everyday, well that’s okay.
Linda Bollea: It’s awesome, why not.
Perez Hilton: Yeah, I know, I’m all for it.
Linda Bollea: He’s awesome, he’s great.
Perez Hilton: High five. Back to the book. Have you gotten wind from Hulk if he’s thoroughly unpleased? Is he threatening to sue you over the book as well?
Linda Bollea: [Watch above.]
