           Hulk Hogan and girlfriend in court for divorce hearing

Another bitter celebrity divorce is in progress but one that we wouldn't have paid much mind to but for the husband's status as Hulk Hogan.

Hogan (real name Terry Bolea) sounded as if he was the character he played during his pro wrestling career when he raged about his broken marriage.

He was quoted from an interview he gave to Rolling Stone magazine as reported in the New York Post. His estranged wife has a new companion who is 19 years old.

Hogan claims the young man is living in the home he built, driving the car he paid for and sleeping with his wife. That has set him off a bit to say the least.

But here's the thing. I think we can all imagine saying what he did in private conversations or even just to ourselves as we mutter under our breath. But he said it in an interview and now he's got to live with the fall-out. When he pondered being excluded from his prized possessions, including his wife he said:

I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like O.J., cutting everybody's throat,"

He also said "...I totally understand O.J. I get it" As I said, it sounded like one of those manic and fearsome pronouncements he and his WWF turned WWE pals engaged in as they stirred the passions of the paying crowds.

Hey, the guy's pissed off but when you're a public person and you know you're being quoted for public distribution you usually censor yourself just a bit.

Since he makes his living entertaining people and he's already gone the reality television route prior to his marriage blowing up, I'd love to know his current career plans.

Nothing turns off producers of entertainment content like pressure from advertisers who tend to be very cautious of upsetting the buying public.

And though there are some who still champion The Juice, the majority of people in this country revile him. Hogan might want to start the "I'm sorry" tour right now.
