TMZ caught up with Nick Hogan in Las Vegas and found out the reason he hasn’t visited John Graziano, the guy who is laying in a hospital bed in a vegetative state since taking a ride with Nick in his car.

According to Nick, who has seemed more concerned with his own predicament since his conviction, the Graziano family has banned him from visiting his one time friend.

If true, I can’t say I blame the Graziano family, but then again, it could simply be that Nick was simply coming up with an excuse as to why he hasn’t bothered seeing the mate.

I didn’t post this the other day when it came out, but feel that I should to provide some evidence as to why the Hogan family is so insensitive to the victi mand his family.

In light of Hulk Hogan’s appearance on the Larry King show, where Hulk said the accident that caused John Graziano’s massive injuries was “God’s will” and would “make John a better person”, the Graziano family has released a video showing the extent of John’s injuries.

As if this wasn’t bad enough, Hulk has apparently been trying to ogranise a new reality tv show for Nick getting out of jail.

If you watch this video, think about how much whining the Hogan family has done and how much trash they have spoken about John Graziano; puts it in perspective like nothing else.

Be aware, this video is pretty disturbing and not for the faint of heart. Follow the link to view.

In other Nick Hogan news, it seems he was not real impressed with the leaking of the jail tapes that exposed his scheming to get out of his sentence.

Nick is suing a Florida sheirff’s department for releasing tapes of his jailhouse conversations with his mother and father Hulk Hogan, attorneys said Tuesday.

The suit alleges that the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office violated Nick’s privates privacy rights and seeks to stop the sheriff from releasing further tapes.

“Nick only asks that he be treated no differently than the other inmates at the Pinellas County Jail,” says Bollea attorney Morris “Sandy” Weinberg. “Instead, the Sheriff’s Office has singled him out by the unprecedented release to the media of his personal calls with his family.”

If he wants to be treated no differently, is he up for playing ‘pin the tail on the donkey’ in the shower? [Source]

As I recently reported, the Hogan’s were trying to pull a swifty and get Nick Hogan released early.

TMZ is reporting that Nick’s request to be released early from jail and serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest has been denied.

Cry baby Nick says it isn’t far, as he is basically in solitary confinement, being isolated from the prison general population.

I’d actually say that is a good thing for him.

Of course, not as good as the outcome 17 year old Nicky baby wanted, which was to be placed under house arrest until his 18th birthday in mid July, which would make even time served on the outside less then the sentence.

I bet Nick can’t wait to get out and put all this horrible time behind him. Pity his ‘mate’ will never be able to say the same.

Looks like the Hogan’s are doing more scheming and plotting to get poor baby Nick sprung from his jail hell.

TMS has more audio tapes of Nick and his father talking about an upcoming hearing with a judge.

Nick says he will wear his prison issue jump suit rather then normal clothes so he can get more sympathy form the judge. Hulk says that he won’t appear at the hearing, because he is too high profile and the media would show up and pressure the judge into not doing the right thing.

Hulk goes onto say the last thing they want is the media turning up and the transfer appearing on the Internet and Youtube.

It sounds like he is trying to get transferred to another facility, or worse still, maybe out on compassionate grounds perhaps?

Friends say that poor pampered Nick Hogan is not doing well in jail.

“Nick’s doing really bad. He’s struggling to even form a sentence,” one friend said. “They have him in a cell by himself, isolated from the general population, because of threats. He didn’t understand how awful jail really is until now.”

Nick has developed a strange rash around his mouth and is complaining of having a sore ass and having to answer to ‘bitch’ – Nah, not really, I just made that last bit up….

But really, he’s struggling to form a sentence? Please.

I can sense a transfer or early release plea coming up, stay tuned.

Oh, if you want to help Nick out by sending him packages of KY, contact Hogan’s PR company.

Nick Hogan was sentenced to eight months in jail, five years’ probation and 500 hours community service, and had his license revoked for three years, over the crash that left John Graziano with severe mental and physical disabilities.

In testimony to court, Nick comes across as a cold and spoilt child who has no remorse for his actions or sympathy for his victim.

The Garziano family had sought one year in jail, and said that the apology Nick made in court was the first one they had heard.

John’s father, Ed Garziano, says that when Nick went to the hospital to see John, he looked totally bored, and even shot dart guns and skateboarded around the hospital.

John’s sister Christian Carson, says that Nick has never apologized for the crash.

Sounds like a nice piece of work doesn’t he! Nothing but a scumbag.

That’s what you get when you spoil a kid rotten. I hope he has plenty of KY and soap on a rope for his stay in the slammer.
