Nick Hogan

Celebrity Buzz As if it weren't already easy enough to begrudge the spoiled offspring of the rich and famous, Nick Hogan (son of Hulk and recent MIRRF Linda) is suing a Florida sherriff's department after they released tapes of him complaining about spending eight months in jail (for drag racing while drunk, which has left his friend and fellow passenger in "critical condition"), specifically in a cell "half the size of [his] bathroom at home." Nick was also allegedly recorded asking his pop to set him up with a reality show upon release from the clink. Because any good parent knows that after eight months in solitary confinement, a kid's best chance at being healthily rehabilitated back into society is, of course, to be endlessly followed by cameras and manipulative producers.
