According to Hogan, a video of him having sex with his best friend's then-wife, was secretly recorded.

We guess it's nothing she hasn't seen before, but oddly enough, Linda Hogan wants to see Hulk Hogan's sex tape, reports TMZ. She thinks the tape, which Hulk says was filmed without his permission, will boost her defense in her ex-husband's defamation lawsuit against her.
Hulk claims Linda was lying in her book when she claimed Hulk cheated on her, but sources say she thinks the tape could be a key piece of evidence in determining that he actually did. If she can figure out when the tape was made and who the unidentified brunette in the tape is, she can subpoena the woman for the case.
Hulk told TMZ he has been faithful to his current wife Jennifer McDaniel, so it's got to be at least five years old.

Wrestler Hulk Hogan has settled his financial issues with his ex-wife Linda following their divorce in 2009.
Linda Bollea filed for divorce in 2007 after 23 years of marriage and their union was officially declared over in 2009.
But the former couple continued to fight over money and now court records reveal the pair has finally struck a deal.
Under the terms of the settlement, Bollea has been handed just over 70 per cent of their liquid assets, while Hogan has agreed to give his ex a 40 per cent ownership stake in his numerous companies.
Bollea, who does not receive alimony, will also be given property worth $3 million (£1.88 million).
Hogan has since remarried - he wed Jennifer McDaniel at their Clearwater, Florida home last December.

Wrestler Hulk Hogan is fighting his way back from the brink of bankruptcy after losing "hundreds of millions" of dollars.
The fighter has been struggling with financial problems for some time after maintaining a lavish lifestyle with his now ex-wife Linda Bollea and their two children, Brooke and Nick, for years.
In a pre-taped interview on U.S. breakfast show Good Morning America, which aired on Thursday, he said, "(I lost) hundreds of millions. There were houses being bought, cars being bought, vacations for family members... There were eight, nine, 10, 11 of them moving into our house."
He has since offloaded the excess material goods and is now living a more modest life with his new wife Jennifer McDaniel, who he wed in December.
Hogan is slowly recovering from his money troubles with new projects such as his latest reality TV show, Hulk Hogan's Micro Championship Wrestling, and he claims his personal difficulties have shown him that money can't buy happiness.
He adds, "They (financial troubles) are getting better. I'm living in a rental house. I'm not living in abundance. But I'm happy now. (Money) helps get through the day, it helps make things easier, but it is nothing to do with being happy."
Hogan and his first wife Linda split in 2007 and settled their messy divorce in 2009 after more than 20 years of marriage.

It's been an incredible year in the world of showbiz, with the usual headline-grabbing antics, scandal, sleaze, celebrity births, star weddings, and bitter break-ups. Here, WENN takes a look back at the final six months of 2010...
July
Love was in the air in July as a host of celebrities walked down the aisle - Spanish stars Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem tied the knot in the Bahamas, while Emily Blunt became Mrs. John Krasinski after marrying The Office star in romantic Como, Italy.
A pregnant Alicia Keys said 'I do' to Swizz Beatz, while Orlando Bloom and Australian model Miranda Kerr became husband and wife in a secret ceremony. Wedding bells also rang in Georgia as country sweetheart Carrie Underwood married her hockey hunk, Mike Fisher.
But there was also plenty of heartache in Hollywood - Kelly Osbourne called off her engagement to model Luke Worrall over allegations he had cheated on her, and Frasier star Kelsey Grammer's wife filed for divorce after almost 13 years of marriage. R&B singer Christina Milian picked July to announce she was splitting from her producer husband The-Dream - less than a year after the couple wed in Las Vegas.
Celebrations were in order for Christina Applegate after she revealed she was pregnant with her first child, while Vince Vaughn, Zac Hanson, Ugly Betty star Becki Newton and Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor also announced they were expecting babies with their respective partners.
Director Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Johnson became the proud parents of a baby girl - their first child together - while Australian pop star Dannii Minogue welcomed baby boy Ethan with her partner Kris Smith.
But July was not without scandal - Paris Hilton was questioned by authorities at the World Cup soccer tournament in South Africa over allegations she was smoking pot. Just two weeks later, she was held by police in France after she was allegedly caught carrying cannabis in her handbag.
The heiress' former pal Lindsay Lohan also hit headlines for all the wrong reasons - just days after turning 24, she was ordered to spend 90 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation stemming from a 2007 DUI arrest.
Former Wham! star George Michael also had a run-in with the law - he was arrested after driving his car into a shop in London, and Foxy Brown was also taken into custody after allegedly violating a protective order.
Meanwhile, Rosemary's Baby director Roman Polanski was freed from house arrest after officials in Switzerland threw out a request to extradite him to the U.S. for sentencing on a child-sex charge.
Mel Gibson's marital woes continued into July - Los Angeles police launched an official investigation amid claims the Braveheart star punched his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva during a heated altercation. It came after the leaking of a series of audio recordings in which a man said to be Gibson unleashes a series of foul-mouthed rants at his ex.
There was a health scare for British singer Cheryl Cole as she was diagnosed with malaria after collapsing at a photoshoot, while movie legends Tony Curtis and Zsa Zsa Gabor were also hospitalised. Pink was rushed to the emergency room after a stage stunt went wrong, sending the pop punk flying into a metal barrier during a concert in Germany.
Courtroom battles loomed for bad boy actor David Boreanaz, who was slapped with a sexual harassment lawsuit from a former extra on his hit TV show Bones, and Casey Affleck, who was sued by a producer of his movie I'm Still Here over sexual harassment allegations.
August
There were festival dramas aplenty in August, with The Libertines and Guns N' Roses dominating headlines at Britain's Reading and Leeds weekenders. Pete Doherty's group reunited earlier this year and played sets at the festivals - but their performances were blighted when overeager fans got crushed and trampled during the frenetic gigs, forcing the rockers off the stage to allow the revellers chance to recover. Axl Rose sparked an ongoing war-of-words with event boss Melvin Benn after he decided to shut the sound off when the band overran its curfew.
Further drama occurred in August when Naomi Campbell took to the stand in The Hague, Netherlands to testify at the war crimes trial of ex-Liberian President Charles Taylor, socialite Paris Hilton was arrested for cocaine possession in Las Vegas, and Charlie Sheen pleaded guilty to a charge of misdemeanour assault relating to a Christmas Day fight with now-estranged wife Brooke Mueller. The Two And A Half Men actor was sentenced to 30 days in jail, but served time in rehab instead.
Another star seeking help for her personal issues was Lindsay Lohan. The Mean Girls actress walked free from prison before the end of her sentence for violating her probation relating to a 2007 DUI arrest, and immediately entered rehab - only to leave the health centre early as well.
Lohan's woes weren't the only ones in Hollywood - Zsa Zsa Gabor was in and out of hospital due to complications stemming from her summer accident which resulted in several bone fractures, while Aretha Franklin broke her ribs in a freak fall, prompting her to cancel a string of shows.
However, the biggest health shock of the month was the revelation that Michael Douglas had been diagnosed with a throat tumour. The Wall Street legend began radiation and chemotherapy shortly before going public with his battle and helped raise awareness of the disease by appearing on America's Stand Up 2 Cancer TV special to urge fans to raise cash for research.
There was happier health news for many in the public eye in August - Miranda Kerr, Penny Lancaster and Alanis Morissette all announced their pregnancies, while British Prime Minister David Cameron became a father again when his wife Samantha gave birth to their fourth child, Florence, while they were holidaying in Cornwall, south-west England.
Wedding bells were also chiming, with Hilary Duff walking down the aisle to marry ice hockey star Mike Comrie, veteran singer Julio Iglesias exchanging vows with his longtime girlfriend, and James Van Der Beek cementing his union with his then-pregnant girlfriend Kimberly Brook - they've since welcomed baby Olivia.

Britain was in mourning following the loss of comedy legend Norman Wisdom, who passed away at the age of 95, while the world of music was rocked by the death of legendary soul singer Solomon Burke after he collapsed at an airport in Amsterdam, Holland. The death of soprano Joan Sutherland in Switzerland at the age of 83 prompted an outpouring of grief in her native Australia, and The Slits star Ari Up lost her battle with cancer at the age of 48.
The scandal of the month came courtesy of Charlie Sheen, who hit headlines when cops were called to his trashed suite at a New York City hotel during a night with a young model/actress. The star's reps blamed his meltdown on "an adverse reaction to medication". It was also a bad month for Mel Gibson - his personal problems with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva cost him a role in The Hangover sequel, while Taylor Swift was hit with a multi-million dollar lawsuit from a former manager. But the country star made up for it by embarking on a new romance with Hollywood hunk Jake Gyllenhaal.

The baby news of the month came from the Travoltas as movie star John and his wife Kelly Preston welcomed Benjamin into the world and the proud new parents list for November also featured Stella McCartney, Ne-Yo, Vera Farmiga, Green Day star Mike Dirnt and actress Emilia Fox, while rocker Chris Daughtry became a dad to twins.
The music world mourned the loss of Australian rocker James Freud who died just days after his band Models were inducted into the Aria Hall of Fame.
And it was a sad month for Hollywood as movie mogul Dino De Laurentiis passed away alongside actresses Ingrid Pitt and Jill Clayburgh and Naked Gun star Leslie Nielsen.
The film world also bid farewell to The Empire Strikes Back director Irvin Kershner and revered Italian filmmaker Mario Monicelli.
December
December saw a series of scandals as the stars brought a touch of sex and drugs to the festive season - and wildchild Miley Cyrus led the way. The former Disney star ended 2010 by reminding us all she's a grown up now after she was caught on camera smoking legal hallucinogenic Salvia from a bong, and hit headlines again days later when she was pictured in a girl-on-girl clinch and exposing her bra while surrounded by hunky men.
Her pal Demi Lovato joined the Hannah Montana star in scandal when provocative photos which appeared to show her partly-exposing her breasts leaked on the internet, and Christina Aguilera's reps vowed to hunt down computer hackers who leaked nearly-nude photos of the Beautiful hitmaker.
Pink Floyd rocker David Gilmour told of his shame after his son was arrested for clambering over a war memorial during student riots in London, and Hulk Hogan's wedding to Jennifer McDaniel descended into chaos when cops were called to break up a clash between a bodyguard and a photographer.
Love was in the air for Reese Witherspoon, who got engaged to Hollywood agent Jim Toth, and also making wedding plans this month were Ginnifer Goodwin, Shania Twain, Kelsey Grammer, Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany, Poison rocker Bret Michaels, and Hugh Hefner. And it was double delight for Natalie Portman – the actress got engaged and announced she's pregnant by choreographer Benjamin Millepied. Meanwhile, Michael Sheen and Rachel McAdams became Hollywood's hottest new couple.
Actor Vince Vaughn became a father for the first time, and there were also new arrivals for Alanis Morissette, Ali Larter, and Elton John, who became a father at 63 after he and boyfriend David Furnish welcomed a son via a surrogate mother.
Nicole Richie had her father Lionel dancing on the ceiling when she wed Joel Madden, but other stars weren't so lucky in love - Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens ended their romance, Elizabeth Hurley confirmed her marriage split from Arun Nayar after she was linked to cricketer Shane Warne, rocker John Mellencamp split from his wife of 18 years, and Ryan Reynolds filed for divorce from Scarlett Johansson.
In the courts, Kc and The Sunshine Band co-founder Richard R. Finch was jailed for seven years for sexually abusing young boys, Rip Torn was given a suspended jail term for his drunken bank break-in, and rapper Dmx was sent to prison for a year for violating his probation by using drugs. In Florida, officials posthumously pardoned Jim Morrison over his infamous arrest for indecent exposure at a 1969 The Doors concert.
Meanwhile, Heather Locklear was hospitalised for a bacterial infection, Eminem was celebrating after landing 10 Grammy nominations, rap mogul Suge Knight was arrested after missing a court hearing, and exiled moviemaker Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer was the big winner at the European Film Awards.
Lady Gaga was named Artist of the Year by Billboard magazine editors, veteran entertainers Dame Julie Andrews and Dolly Parton were announced as recipients of lifetime achievement Grammy awards at a special upcoming ceremony in 2011, and Natalie Portman's hopes of Oscar glory for her movie Black Swan received a major boost by landing a record 12 nominations for the 2011 Critics' Choice Movie Awards.
The showbiz world mourned the loss of jazz musicians Billy Taylor and James Moody, Pink Panther creator Blake Edwards, rocker Captain Beefheart, singer/songwriter Teena Marie, and Boney M star Bobby Farrell.
And it was a miserable end to 2010 for Taylor Momsen - the Gossip Girl star spent Christmas in Amsterdam, Holland - away from her family and friends in the U.S. - after she became stranded in Europe due to flights chaos following snowstorms across the continent.

Hulk Hogan has posted gory snapshots of his post-back surgery stitches on Twitter.com. The 57-year-old wrestling icon checked into a Florida hospital to undergo major surgery last Tuesday, December 21, just a week after marrying fiancee Jennifer McDaniel on December 14.
The procedure was scheduled to repair an ongoing issue with the star's spine, which has become progressively worse in recent months. Hogan, real name Terry Bollea, has been recovering steadily over the festive season following the operation on his back and he has been updating his online followers about his condition, accompanied by a series of photos showing the surgery scars, with captions including, "This was my Christmas present", and "I'm tired of being cut".
He adds, "I had to get my spinal cord straightened out. It was about nine hours. They made a two hour mistake with a drug... they gave me by mistake."...

Los Angeles, California (X17online) - Hulk Hogan is currently recovering from intensive 10 hour back surgery after having his spine rebuilt Tuesday. The surgery was much needed after years of injuries Hogan received wrestling in the ring. The reality star has already gone in for surgery in June of this year and was also hospitalized in September after experiencing severe back spasms. Hogan married his girlfriend of two years, Jennifer McDaniel, Dec. 14 at his beach house in Clearwater, Florida. He is still in the hospital recovering and is said to be doing well.

Guess the Hulk couldn’t hack the honeymoon! About a week after marrying Jennifer McDaniel, Terry “Hulk” Hogan headed to the hospital to have his spine fused. The Hulk tweeted after an operation in September, so hopefully the 10-hour procedure he just endured will keep him from going back under the knife too soon (remember, whether carrying your wife into home or throwing a wrestling heel off the mat, bend from the knees). “It was a pretty lengthy surgical procedure. Doctors did some fusion work and rebuilding and restructuring of the spine. But he’s recovering smoothly,” a source told Radar. “We hope he’ll be able to leave the hospital relatively quickly. He’s always taken very good care of himself and in very good physical shape…If Terry had his way, he’d go home tomorrow.” Don’t worry, Hulk—no matter how long you’re in the hospital,...

It’s the battle of the sleazy exes — Hulk Hogan v. Kelsey Grammer!
Can you believe that 55-year-old Kelsey Grammer is already engaged to much younger Kayte Walsh, 29, when he hasn’t even divorced Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Star Camille Donatacci yet. And that Hulk Hogan has moved on from ex-wife of over 20 years Linda to remarry Jennifer McDaniel, who happens to have an uncanny resemblance to Linda and daughter Brooke. What is wrong with these men?
It is highly disturbing that the Hulk has moved on to Jennifer — bleach-blonde, large-bosomed, super-tan — after leaving Linda — bleach-blonde, large-bosomed, super-tan – mother of his children, which included Brooke — yes, bleach-blonde, large-bosomed, super-tan.
As far as Kelsey: The thrice divorced millionaire didn’t even wait to deliver before popping the question to airline attendant Kayte.

Hulk Hogan and Jennifer McDaniel got married yesterday at Hogan’s home in Florida, but even though the couple tried to keep things as quiet and private as possible, the ceremony was not without paparazzi drama. At one point in the festivities, a security guard and a photographer got into an intense confrontation while guests stared in disbelief.
The area surrounding Hogan’s backyard proved to be the perfect perching ground for a host of journalists and photographers wanting to cash in on the action. Hogan himself laughed it off and said that things sometimes get crazy when you least expect it, but honestly, if you can’t expect things to get crazy at a reality TV star’s celebrity wedding, when can you expect craziness?

A family employee asked the photographer to leave,...

Hulk Hogan tied the knot again last night. But wedding mania almost turned into WrestleMania. Just as the former wrestler (né Terry Bollea) was exchanging vows with girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel at his Clearwater, Fla., home Tuesday evening, E!

The shutterbug, Robert Martinez, tried approaching from the rear of the estate where he was confronted by a family employee acting as security. Some pushing and shoving took place, but the confrontation was soon broken up by responding police officers. Both parties agreed to stop...

If it wasn’t for the lawsuit threats, we’d assume this was staged. Hulk Hogan’s backyard wedding to Jennifer McDaniel was interrupted mid-vows by a brawl between bodyguards and a trespassing photographer. What’s impressive is that the service still only took about two minutes. “Hulk’s security team was in the background throwing around the paparazzi who was standing 200 feet away in the shoreline water,” a source told Radar. Police on the scene made no arrests, but the shutterbug filed a complaint later in the day. “The paparazzo wants charges filed and plans to sue for physical, financial and emotional distress,” says the source—guess he didn’t get a crack at the buffet. The nuptials were a spur of the moment affair, inspired by McDaniel finally agreeing to a pre-nup (how romantic!). “This time we’re really gonna make history!” said Hulk, tweeting a shot of...
