Hulk Hogan’s ex, Linda plotting withering book

Few would argue that Hulk Hogan and his now ex-wife, Linda endured [perhaps even caused?] the messiest divorce in recent Hollywood history. And now Linda plans to tell it all in a book.

A year ago, Hulk released his own indiscreet novel, ‘My Life Outside the Rings,’ which portrayed Linda as “an abusive alcoholic.” Now Linda’s plotting revenge with her own account of their 24-year marriage in which she’s the victim.

The so-far untitled book will apparently discuss the fallout from her son, Nick’s car accident in 2007 which got them all sued, plus “her life, the traumas and how much better life is now she is no longer married.”

“She will include the trials she endured in the marriage, Nick’s accident and the things she’s accomplished,” her schmoozing attorney, Ray Rafool tells Fox. “Linda wants people to know her, how she knows what it’s like to divorce, be a mother and establish a career.”

Hmm…I think he forgot – ‘and to file for divorce based on your husband’s affair with a 33-year old girl. Then have an affair of your own. With a 19-year old boy…While you’re still married.’

So far, no publisher has accepted the book but Rafool says that day will come and they plan to have it on the shelves by the fall. Meantime, he’s also closed a deal with the family who brought a frivolous lawsuit after Nick’s accident.

“Linda is ecstatic that the lawsuits are over,” says Rafool. “Now she gets to move on with her life.”

Move #1 is her own reality show. Yes, another one. Her children also have plans; Once freed from jail after his 7-month sentence, 19-year old Nick moved to L.A. Daughter, Brooke, 21, also went there to get into acting, but she hated the place and now wants to come home:

“She didn’t like L.A as much as she likes the east coast,” says a pal. “She just wasn’t happy and feels better in Florida.”

Brooke sees her future in either music or acting, but the stark truth of Tinseltown clearly wasn’t as easy as the so-called ‘reality’ she shared on TV. But VH1 are now plotting a third season of her show, so that should help some.

The fact it will cover her utter lack of success in coping with reality for real…is perhaps better left as a thought…

Hulk Hogan close to suicide, new book reveals

In a telling display of the dark side of celebrity, Hulk Hogan is about to release a new book in which he recounts a night where a lethal blend of an imploding marriage, endless attention and way too much booze almost ended in death.

Born, Terry Gene Bollea on August 11, 1953, the former WWF wrestling champion describes in his book how he once came ‘damn close’ to suicide after a night at a club. Ingesting a cocktail of Xanax and rum, he picked up a gun and even fingered the trigger, but an opportune call from his ‘Gladiators’ co-star Laila Ali brought him back from the edge.

The wrestler now admits that near-fatal night in December of 2007 was the start of a long-overdue wake-up call. The combined effect of “going to a club, drinking, getting all that attention from girls,” then coming back to a dark, empty home filled with only the ghosts of his now defunct marriage nearly depressed him to death.

Hogan believes that Linda, who is now his ex-wife after 23 years was the source of his torment, “Linda’s spending time with a 19-year-old boy – In the house that I pay for,” he writes.
