At the age of 54, it looks like the Hulkster is on the market again after twenty-plus years. According to MSNBC, Hulk Hogan's wife filed for divorce. To make matters even worse, apparently he didn't even find out until the reporter investigating the story told him that the paperwork had been submitted to a Florida court.

In their VH1 reality TV series Hogan Knows Best, Hulk Hogan (real name Terry Bollea) and his wife Linda attended couple's counseling. On the show, they appeared to reconcile. This is why reality TV should in no way be confused with real life.

$25 million may seem like a lot of money to pay for the home of a former wrestler. Until you hear a little bit more about it. According to the St. Petersburg Times:

"The roof tiles are imported from France. The floors are center-cut oak that's hand-carved in a basketweave pattern. The windows are handmade leaded glass. The kitchen has custom copper sinks, hand-carved limestone and steel countertops, and a fireplace, one of seven in the 17,000-square-foot house."

That's mighty extravagant, Hulk. The grounds are 2.3 acres overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway. Hulk and the fam damily moved to Miami Beach last month. The home is actually appraised at $6.4 million (with $126,000 in property taxes last year!), but Hulk's real estate agent evidently thinks his celebrity is big enough to push that price up nearly $20 million.

So, this is the second Monday morning (er, is 11:35 a.m. morning?) that I've woke up to find that there is no new episode of Hogan Knows Best on my DVR. No, it's not the end of the world, but the Hulkster and his brethren are definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. As the Macho Man would say (circa 1986), "Hogan. You better get in the ring. Yeaaaaah, oh yeah." I'm not the Macho Man, so I googled the Hulkster and couldn't find much on the future of the show. I found one website (but not a reliable one) that said VH1 is definitely bringing them back for a season 2, but I had trouble finding verification on the VH1 site or any other site for that matter. It is also not explained on the VH1 site, why the show just ended without any sort of season finale. In fact, the last episode to air was sort of a clunker, "Hulk's Hobbies." Call me old fashion, but I need some sort of a climax. But in my quest, I stumbled across the Hogan family bio page. The Hulkster's bio is understandably long. So is Linda's, who hasn't done much outside of the home, but deserves a long bio nevertheless. Brooke's bio is long and a bit flowery -- "strikingly gorgeous with piercing green eyes and long blonde hair." (Um, yeah, the whole family looks like that.) But check out Nick's bio. It sucks. It's not even a fourth of the length of every else's. Plus, most of his bio refers back to his dad and his sister. They don't even mention how funny Nick is. Come on, somebody give this poor kid some attention before he ends up with a hooker and cocaine habit.
