Hulk Hogan has filed a civil suit against his former wife for allegedly stealing his toilet seat.
The wrestling legend was married to Linda Bollea for more than 23 years before the pair bitterly split in 2007. Their divorce was finalized in July. But the legal woes haven’t ended – Hulk is now suing Linda over allegations she stripped the family home of a number of valuables that will make the property difficult to sell on the real estate market.
According to TMZ.com, the ex-wrestler’s legal team is demanding a Florida judge looks into the suit, which claims Linda has removed items including chandeliers, a tanning bed, and other fixtures.

Rockers Weezer have cancelled the rest of their December tour dates after the band’s frontman, Rivers Cuomo, nearly escaped death when his tourbus hit a patch of ice and skidded off the New York State Thurway early Sunday.
The singer suffered three cracked ribs after the vehicle crashed into a ravine on the way to a show at Boston University’s Agganis Arena in Massachusetts on Sunday. Rivers was also traveling with his wife, two-year-old daughter, and nanny, who escaped unharmed.
Emergency crews were forced to break into the bus to rescue Cuomo, who was trapped in the wreckage and could not move or speak because of his injuries. He was transported to St. Mary’s Hospital in Amsterdam, New York, and has since been transferred to another medical center, where he remains under observation. His assistant Sarah sustained two fractured ribs and a fractured lower vertebrae.
Late Sunday, a spokesperson for the band took to their Official MySpace Page to write up a detailed account of the accident.
“Rivers was tossed around violently, waking up as he landed back on his mattress. He recalled not hitting anything, but later we learned that he must have, as he cracked 3 ribs and sustained some mostly minor but very painful internal damage, as well as hurting his lower leg somehow,” the rep writes.
“The interior of the bus was a chaotic mess with broken glass, food and clothing items strewn everywhere, as well as the refrigerator flying off the wall and many drawers coming right out of their slots. On top of it the sliding interior doors were fused shut and the bus’s electronics were ruined, so no one could get into the back lounge where Rivers lay immobile and unable to speak due to the pain in his ribcage……”

Lindsay Lohan has posed for a raunchy threesome-themed photo spread inspired by Kate Moss and Johnny Depp’s fiery relationship. Lindsay becomes the British catwalk maven and Petey Wright assumes the part of Johnny Depp in steamy images snapped at L.A.’s Chateau Marmont for the new issue of Muse Magazine. Lohan poses as Moss, who dated Depp for four years between 1994 and 1998, in the provocative, 18-page shoot for the Milan-based magazine. Stunning brunette Sofia Boutella completes the “menage a-trois” theme.
In other shots, Lohan is seen flashing a breast and romping naked in bed with Wright.
“I was always fascinated by Johnny Depp and Kate Moss, and when I asked Lindsay to do a shoot, she jumped at the chance. It was all about her being sexy, channeling Kate from the ’90s. When I suggested adding another girl, Lindsay invited Sofia, who is a friend and a dancer for Madonna,” photographer Yu Tsai told The New York Post on Monday.
“The three of them were very sensual and provocative, but Lindsay understands this piece was created not for any sensational value other than artistic integrity. There was never a discussion about pushing the boundaries. She was totally comfortable with the nudity as long as it had artistic integrity,” Tsai added.
“When you see her nipple, it just happened in the moment. She was playing the role of Kate Moss-you’re at a party and you are with a guy you really love and another girl, She is stunning and radiates in the pictures. Lindsay is incredibly focused where it comes to her career and fashion is her passion. It’s raw, it’s exposed, this is her at her best. She told me: ‘I want to make this iconic.’”

Justin Timberlake regrets the way he handled Janet Jackson’s famed wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl Half-Time Show, insisting he should have been more supportive. The “Cry Me A River” singer was performing onstage with Jackson and ripped open her jacket, revealing her bare breast to the world on live TV.
Timberlake immediately distanced himself from the incident — and Janet. As the scandal intensified, the singer spoke out and confessed he had no idea Janet intended to go topless – if that, indeed, was her intention.
J.T. now feels he could have handled the controversy better.
He tells Entertainment Weekly: “I wish I had supported Janet more. I am not sorry I apologised, but I wish I had been there more for Janet.”

The world’s most accomplished golfer has been romantically-linked to at least five women in a sex scandal that broke last month. If any Tiger Lovers are interested in the offer, her movie would be released under the Vivid-Celeb imprint, which has already released titles starring Kim Kardashian, former Miss USA Kelli McCarty, ex-Playboy pin-up-turned-reality star Shauna Sand, and Jessica Sierra.
“Of course, we would need proof that a relationship actually took place,” says Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch. “Tiger Woods is much more than a great athlete, he’s an American sports legend, and we feel that there would be strong public interest in an intimate look at him through the eyes of one of his actual lovers.”
“If a woman has already make the decision to step forth and talk to the media about her actual relationship with Tiger, she could do well by working with us, as we can help her tell her story in an unvarnished and honest way,” Hirsch added. “The names that have already surfaced, Rachel Uchitel, Jaimee Grubbs and Kalika Moquin, will be tops on our list.”

The Dexter made me do it!
