Nick Hogan got off easy for his charge of felony reckless driving and driving under the influence. As many of you may recall he got into a near fatal car crash in August of 2007, read all about it here. As a result of the accident Nick had superficial injuries and his best friend John Graziano will never be the same. The family of John Graziano appeared in court last week and recommended that Nick receive 1 year in jail. Instead Nick will face 8 months in jail, 5 years of probation, and 500 hours of community service. The judge was pretty generous considering John Graziano will be a vegetable for the rest of his life because of Nick Hogan. In the courthouse the Hogan family tried to soften the blow by making excuses but that didn’t help their case once John Graziano’s family made their statements. We all are waiting to see how this event will effect the image of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan.
In yesterday’s court proceedings the judge admitted he’s quite impressed with Britney Spears‘ progress. We would all hope that she would make progress under the supervision of Mama and Papa Spears. Britney will be granted a few visitations a week and overnight visits are coming up next. Everyone is anticipating that Britney will regain 50/50 custody. Before granting Britney 50/50 shouldn’t she be living independently? The sad part is that Britney maybe able to eventually regain custody but she will never be able to restore her career. She’s at the point where no one will take her seriously, even if she changes her image. Her time has past and she should enjoy all of the money she has made and try to stay free of alcohol and drugs for the sake of her children.
America’s favorite friend looks like should could have replaced ex husband Brad Pitt with a bigger star- John Mayer. Everyone thinks of John Mayer as a funny looking frumpy dressing guy. Due to his track record with women, he’s become one of the most sought over men in Hollywood. We’ve seen him with some of the hottest A-listers Jessica Simpson, Cameron Diaz, Jennnifer Love Hewitt, Minka Kelly, and its rumored he even shared a lip lock with blogger Perez Hilton! Out of no where photos start surfacing of John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston. We are all hoping it works out after the way she was treated by Brad Pitt. Everyone is hoping that John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston stay together, but judging by his track record with women it doesn’t look too good for our favorite friend.
