Hulk: God Punished Nick's Victim

Click to hearWe've obtained tapes of phone conversations between Hulk Hogan and son Nick, as well as conversations between other family members, and it leaves no doubt why this family is so screwed up.

You hear Hulk say the man Nick almost killed in a car accident got payback from God for being a bad guy. You hear Nick's mom, Linda, call the victim's mother "nasty" and for bad measure Linda also says she's the one who's really suffering. And you hear Nick's grandma make jokes about "hot dogs" in jail.

Reality really sucks.

Sharon Stone Calls Chinese Earthquake "Karma"


When is a natural disaster a good thing? When the afflicted country commits human rights violations -- at least according to Sharon Stone.
Sharon Stone
Stone gave an interview while on the red carpet at Cannes this weekend in which -- after recounting all of China's atrocities -- she wondered, "All these earthquake and stuff happened and I thought, 'Is that karma?' When you are not nice that bad things happen to you." My name is Sharon!

Sharon went on to say she has come around and no longer thinks the death of over 60,000 people is cosmic payback. "Basic Instinct 2" is a whole other story.

Everybody Loves Raymond's "Drunk" Wife


Ray Romano jokingly outed his alcohol-swilling wife outside Nobu the other night -- and said his 15-year-old son got in on the action.

And while Ray claims to have a Prius at home, schlepping the boozy fam around in a Lincoln Navigator kind of defeats the purpose, right? At least the wifey wasn't driving.

Kim K: $25,000 a Night For That?


Kim Kardashian charges at least $25,000 for public appearances -- but when all you get is her taking pictures of herself, the Macarena and and a guest list starting and ending with Michael Lohan, is it really worth it?

Tori Plays Dumb For Two


The fact that eating soft-serve ice cream is potentially harmful to pregnant women is news to Tori Spelling -- which is weird considering she served it up to expectant mothers last week.

As TMZ TV learned, a little bit of research can go a long way.

92. the young man in Nick's car has responsibility for his condition... do not forget that... he chose to NOT wear a seatbelt.

It was an accident... but... it is very likely that had he been wearing a seatbelt, his injuries would not have been so grievous. If Nick had been driving more safely, he may not have had the accident... lots of IF...

what I find so terrible here is TMZ... I have only seen a little bit of the tv show... but I know AOL links it to the front pages because it receives so many hits... too bad. Because they do stink.

For those that believe in Karma... they WILL get theirs. I don't.... I DO believe.... YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

93. RIIIIIGHHT, Badbev, the Hogans are so "nice" and you know this because you are their very bestest, closest friend?

94. I think invasion of privacy should not be ones living,let alone a high paying one. Personally people living in dumpsters on the street have more class and aparently,entertainment minded value.The truth is people could care less what the Hogans said during a personal phone coversation or want to see Clint Eastwood in his underwear taking out the trash.The only reason I came to this site was because it was trumpted so loudly of such a atrocious incident,then I listen to a totally emotional private conversation that I find nothing wrong with,except that it is none of my business.And personally its noone elses business either.I have had other opinions like-well they are celebrities so who cares,but the media has gotten so malicious I now feel sorry for these people.

95. the previous poster was correct that FOX channel 13 in Tampa broadcast the conversation on their news segment... GO FOX... a new low... so disappointing for the people that work at channel 13... they did not used to be FOX!! I remember when it switched over and everyone was so dismayed... BECAUSE of this kind of .... crap.

Nick is in jail, serving his time. ALL conversations/letters are recorded/reviewed. There IS no privacy when you are in jail. But TMZ is proving... there is no privacy ANYWHERE. PATHETIC!

99. I'm in agreement with most of these people who comment. The kind of shameless wordplay and harmful body-teasing you guys are fond of is sensationalism at its lowest point. If those who can't do, teach, then those who can't report go to work at TMZ. I'm not going to follow any link that leads here again. Hopefully, the rest of your readers will someday do the same.

100. im glad tmz posted taped conversations of the hogans, their trash and i hope none of them act again. i guess nick did something to real bad to end up behind bars huh terry??? and their used and abused mother needs to shut her fat mouth, she is the one thats suffering? i don't see her son laying in a vegative state. the grandmas funny though. hey bubba get used to the food, your staying there to finish out your sentence. even has-been terry cant save you this time

101. This TMZ is garbage. I got linked here through a bogus headline and found creative journalism had completely distorted the Hogan's story into the exact opposite of it's reality. That family sounds like they're really hurting to me, well all except for Grama. Who knows what's up with her. To me Hulk seemed sort of confused as to why God would be so punitive against this guy John. I didn't get the impression he was saying John got what he deserved, in any way. How could anyone get that impression unless they were a money hungry, bulls&*/, gossip e-rag that will print anything, no matter how untrue or distorted, just to get you to click the link. And here we all are. Listen, I don't even like pro-wrestling. I think it's stupid and fake. So don't paint me as some Hogan fan, sticking up for my boy. This is blatant garbage reporting. I hope if they obtained these tapes illegally they get prosecuted and sued. This kind of crap has got to stop.

102. Don't forget that all jail house phone calls are recorded. The idiots on the phone are reminded of this by a recording telling them so when they pick up the phone. I wish the Hogan's no ill will, but TMZ is not out of line here. The same story ran on the local TV stations here in the Tampa FL area where the Hogan's live and the accident happened. The Hogan's are not parents of the year. Ma and pa Hogan were drinking and speeding around with the kids in the past. It's a miracle it took so long for a car accident to occur.

103. its odd how all these stories get twisted around...nobody would intentionally serve food that could harm a newborn to expecting mothers...holy cow I have 3 young children and I'll admit, I loved my Dairy Queen once a week vanilla cone THE ENTIRE TIME I WAS PREGNANT and my kids are fine. I find it hard to believe that anybody with their own kids would intentionally feed something harmful to a fetus to expectant moms. On top of that how many people collecting these bs "news" stories want to have their private phone conversations taped and played to millions of people on the internet...I bet that most of them have a lot of dirt that goes down over the phone that would end their marriages or their lives as they know it. At the bottom of the page is a "hot tip" number...so if we make something up and call it in that is "breaking news"...give me a break. friggin neanderthals

104. leave the hogan;s alone.they too have suffered during this ordeal.......my prayers are for the two familes involved......GBU xo

105. The Hogans have some nerve to presume to know Gods intentions. Hulk is nothing more than a muscle bound moron who got rich by prancing around a ring pretending to fight. If God were to start handing out punishment in Hulks neighborhood, Hulk would be first on line explaining his unnatural preoccupation with his Daughters love life. He doesn't realize that everyone who isn't an idiot can see that he acts more like a jealous boyfriend than a protective father. Instead of informing the world what God is up to, he should enter therapy and address his problem with ANYONE getting next to his little Brooke. Who by the way, parades around South Beach dressed like a hooker.
