Hulk Hogan Understands OJ

Hulk Hogan told Rolling Stone that he could kill like O.J. The Hulkster is salty the way his wife Linda dumped him, forced him out of his $18 million mansion, allegedly started spending his money at the rate of $40,000 a month and dating "some shaggy-haired pool boy 30 years her junior," Rolling Stone reports. "I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody's throat," he told the magazine. "You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can't go to anymore, you're driving through downtown Clearwater and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife . . . I totally understand OJ. I get it." He and Linda are battling it out in a Florida divorce court, where Linda's attorney claims she's entitled to use the car and that Hogan's claims against her are merely an attempt to control her love life.

In the immortal words of Chris Rock: "I'm not saying he should have killed her, but I understand."

In related news, Mel Gibson's wife has filed for divorce and she may get half of his $1 billion fortune. Looks like it will be alot of sympathy for OJ this year.

Chris Breezy Dropped from Movie Promos

Radio stations, the Got Milk? campaign and Wrigley’s Gum aren’t the only ones washing their hands of Chris Brown. Woooha.com reports Sony Screen Gems will “erase” Brown’s performance from the promotion of the upcoming film Bone Deep. Also starring T.I., Brown was to be the centerpiece of the film’s promotion in the urban market, appearing in commercials and movie posters. Instead, following Brown’s alleged assault of girlfriend Rihanna, producers will focus marketing around T.I., who may still be in prison when the film is released in January, 2010. Brown’s role in the film itself will not be reduced.

According to IMDb, Brown has starring roles in other two other films in the pre-production/in-production stages: Caramel and Phenom. The director of Caramel recently told Life & Style “Chris’s current situation hasn’t had any effect on things in terms of the film. We’re still planning on working with him.” In the end, it’s the producers’ decision, and it’s hard to imagine anyone funding a film starring an actor who may single-handedly cripple the film’s success.

In an effort to make himself look better in the court of public opinion, Brown reportedly began taking anger management classes Monday, February 23rd, in Glendale, California. “Chris doesn’t actually have to go by law,” an insider tells New York Daily News’ Gatecrasher, “but he believes it will make him look better to the public, and he wants to try to get in a few classes before March 5,” his court date. While reports say the court date might be pushed back, Rihanna is expected to testify.

The White House Concert

The DMV has a hot new music venue, and it’s Barack Obama’s White House. Stevie Wonder will be honored with performances by Will.i.am, Tony Bennett, Diana Krall and many more in the presidential mansion’s East Room for “Stevie Wonder in Performance at the White House: The Library of Congress Gershwin Prize.” Obama himself will present Wonder with the Gershwin Award on February 25th. The one-hour special will air on PBS channels nationwide the following day, Billboard.com reports.

“If I had one musical hero, it would have to be Stevie Wonder,” Obama told Rolling Stone during a June 2008 interview. “When I was at that point where you start getting involved in music, Stevie had that run with Music of My Mind, Talking Book, Fulfillingness’ First Finale and Innervisions, and then Songs in the Key of Life. Those are as brilliant a set of five albums as we’ve ever seen.”

Another of Obama’s favorite artists will also play the White House’s East Room on February 22nd when Earth, Wind and Fire perform for U.S. Governors and guests in an event hosted by the Obamas.
