Hulk Hogan Refiles Lawsuit Against Gawker
4 months ago
Sadly, we still need to think about the Hulk Hogan sex tape.
While the wrestler dismissed his $100 lawsuit against Gawker in federal court without prejudice last month, TMZ has learned Hogan has now gone ahead and refiled it in Florida state court.
The reason?
This is the same venue in which Hogan has sued Heather Clem, his sex tape co-star, for allegedly playing a role in leaking footage to the public.
An attorney for Hogan says this maneuver will allow his client to deal with less paperwork and lawyer fees.
Hogan originally sued Gawker in October after a 60-second long

Jamie McDonald Eats ENTIRE Denny’s Hobbit-Themed Menu in One Sitting
4 months ago
Eating Denny’s entire 11-piece “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” menu in a single sitting sounds certifiably insane … unless you’re Jamie “The Bear” McDonald did.
Okay, it still sounds insane, but he did it anyway.
Denny’s Hobbit Menu ChallengeIn 20 minutes, Jamie McDonald inhaled about 156 ounces (9.75 lbs) of food and drink and 8,610 calories, not including ketchup. Totally worth it, undoubtedly.
The Ring Burger alone is a stunning 1,420 calories … of course all Hobbit fans know the Ring has a way of corrupting those who seek it, so that makes sense.

Either that, or he’s going to great, devious lengths to cover his tracks, because the former NFL star is turning to the FBI for help, according to a TMZ report.
The footage, which found its way online Christmas Day (nice stocking stuffer), shows Eight-Five in a Florida hotel room, putting it to an unknown female.
Chad Johnson, who says the sex tape was filmed 3-4 years ago, is reportedly furious, and believes the video was mysteriously hacked from his phone.

Holly Petraeus, David Petraeus’ wife, is reportedly incensed that the now-former CIA Director cheated on her with Paula Broadwell after 37 years of marriage.
To say she’s furious would be an understatement, his former spokesman says.
Holly has not commented on Petraeus’ resignation from the CIA, but former spokesman and family friend Ret. U.S. Army Col. Steve Boylan revealed what she’s feeling.
“As you can imagine, she’s not exactly pleased right now,” Boylan told GMA, revealing that Petraeus told him that Holly was irate over the situation.

6 months ago
In 2000, Al Gore earned 500,000 more votes than George W. Bush, yet lost the presidency.
In 2004, Bush won by 3 million, but 60,000 more Ohio votes would’ve elected John Kerry.
In 2012, a close election could result in a winner who receives fewer overall votes again.
The electoral college system, everybody!
Our complex way of choosing a president confuses many American voters. It’s easy to see why:
Rather than a simple vote tally of the entire U.S., each state essentially holds its own election, with its electoral votes awarded on a winner-take-all basis (mostly).
