HULK HOGAN fought back tears during a live TV interview on Tuesday night (10Jun08) after expressing his fears over son NICK BOLLEA's state of mind insisting the 17-year-old has been "unraveling" during his spell in prison. The former wrestler's son is currently serving an eight-month prison sentence at Florida's Pinellas County Jail, after pleading no contest to a felony of reckless driving following a horrific car crash in Clearwater, Florida - which has left his friend John Graziano brain damaged. The teenager has been rocked by a series of personal setbacks, including spending his first few weeks in solitary confinement and recordings of his private phone calls to his parents being leaked to the media.
And during an emotional appearance on U.S. chatshow Larry King Live, Hogan real name Terry Bollea - admitted he is seriously worried about his son. He tells King, "It was like the whole world (was) crashing down on my son. Solitary confinement - most hardened criminals unravel after two or three days. Nick survived in there 28-29 days. "I did everything I could to laugh, to cry with my son. I was trying to help (to) give Nick some type of relief because he (was) consumed with the unknown." And Bollea insists the leaked telephone conversations may have tipped Nick over the edge. He adds, "This was the only thing Nick had left. This is the privacy everybody had in prison… and to have that taken away? I was more worried than ever about his mental state unraveling."
This weekend on "House Call": getting in-depth with the "King of Talk," Larry King, on his own hot seat. He speaks candidly about having a heart attack and how that's changed his life. Tune in, this weekend 8.30am-9am Sunday on CNN.
Denise Richards showed up on Larry King last night and said she trusted Ryan Seacrest (American Idol) the Executive Producer of her new reality show and so he convinced her to do it. With regards to other issues like ex-husband Charlie Sheen, she's not interested in him fathering a third child and she wants none of his sperm contrary to the rumors. On the Richie Sambora thing with Heather Locklear, she made it clear that and ex is an ex even if she has to date her own pal's EX! Great interview. Go to Larry's CNN site to podcast it if available.
A prime-time exclusive on her affair with a married U.S. Senator. And her 'view' on what really happened with Rosie and Star! Tonight, 9 ET. I bet there will be some Star Jones side orders tossed in there. All this toilet talk bores me Babwa!
Ryan Seacrest is in "serious negotiations" to take over CNN's "Larry King Live" around the end of the year, according to a source at the news network. King has said that Seacrest would be his first choice to take over the show when the time came: "He's the classic generalist."
Larry King had American Idol Judges Randy, Simon, Paula and host Ryan on the show tonight to take us into last night's gala "Idol Gives Back." The special will be televised Wednesday on FOX.
"Pick which one of these diseases you want your child to get?"...............Dr Harvey Karp (arrowed), some medical jerk asking Jenny McCarthy on Larry King's show on Autism night to pick a disease for her kid after she questioned why children really need 36 vaccines today!
Jenny McCarthy is on Larry King talking about how her son Evan has "recovered" from Autism.....not CURED as many has viewed her saying. Yes! She is intelligent and what she is saying tonight is amazing. The vaccine issue is still the one at hand and nobody could convince me. The vaccine changed my son's life. After MMR vaccine, all our children stopped talking, functioning and became brain damaged. Four doctors on the show including Jenny's child's doctor were on the show. She battled the anti-vaccine believing ones on the panel including one Dr. Harvey Karp. Generationrescue.org is planning a march in Washington this June 2008. Check it out for more information.
The Kirton's in Utahalso came live via satellite to talk about their 6 (six) autistic kids. Is there a genetic link too? The oldest being from Robin Kirton's first marriage. Larry asked her a weird question and you know Larry......"why do you keep having kids?" She said she loves kids. I had two more and they are normal. There is no reason to NOT have more kids?
Jenny McCarthy seems like an unlikely medical crusader and autism activist.
After her son was diagnosed, McCarthy began researching the disorder and discovered something not commonly discussed in medical journals or at the pediatrician's office - parents were healing their autistic kids through methods like diet and detox. "A lot of pediatricians aren't aware, or even believe, that diet and vitamins can actually help heal, and that's another thing that I'm trying to plead to the medical community," she said.
Within seven or eight months of altering her son's diet and giving him dietary supplements, the boy's diagnosis as an autistic was lifted, she said. I have my own reservations about her son and the holistic convention she came here for. Jenny needs a lot more to learn about autism especially the remark she made on Larry King Live a few of months ago.
Larry asked her about her depression in the 90's and how she gained weight when she was depressed. She spoke about how their parents grounded them so that they did not end up like Britney and Lindsay. Asked about Amy Winehouse's drug abuse and how she got so many Grammys, she said she felt drugs go with some performers. "She's singing from her heart" she said of Amy about the Rehab song.
She said she was at Studio 54 at 10 years old with her brothers and saw people doing drugs even though she wasn't supposed to be at a club at that age. Isn't that child endangerment today? Larry asked about the tattoo on her wrist everyone was talking about and she showed it. When asked about how Michael having no childhood she promptly replied "yeah for sure!" That shocked me how she answered that!
Larry asked why the Jackson are targets of negative media? She said she doesn't know. She said she would love to tour as a family again like the Osmonds did. She wants to open for them and calls them all the time but one of them is not ready. Larry asked "Michael?" Yeah, she said. She loved the Thriller re-release for the 25th anniversary and also told Larry they never got any dance lessons in that family but all they watched was Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers on TV.
CNN then showed the "Scream" video and the "Control" video. They talked about her NAACP award for the Tyler Perry movie and how she beat out Queen Latifah who won the Emmy, Golden Globe and SAG for the same award. They then talked about the Jermaine Dupri relationship. She said she does not know if she'll get married. "I don't want to pressure him, it's good where it is." He said Dupri is very easy to work with in the studio.
Finally, Larry asked for it......telling Janet to show him some dance moves. Janet was trying to teach him how to dance. His brittle body almost broke in half as Janet yelled on him to dance right and put his hands here and there. He asked Janet what kind of dance that was and Janet replied...."the kind on the video behind us." LOL! I would have taped this but my camcorder lithium battery is finished. I do need a new one after 4 years! Let's hope all this lands on YouTube soon. It was insanely FUNNY!
Larry King gave up! He is already 100 years old and could have collapsed right there on live TV. Thank God, that didn't happen!!! As Larry was about to introduce Anderson Cooper for AC360, Cooper couldn't help laughing so hard and said "sorry I have to disturb you" as Larry and Janet waltzed away on a more easier and traditional dance. Kodos to larry for having so many music stars on this year so far. Snoop Dogg, Will i am, John Legend, Janet, Kidd Rock etc. Here's the video now on CNN.
The topic was about Autism, a developmental disability that one of my kids suffers from. Awareness has become very big as many celebrities are coming out to talk about it. Holly Robinson Peete, Tisha Campbell, Toni Braxton, Dan Marino, Doug Flutie, Jenny McCarthy and more. The Wednesday show had Toni talked about her son with her husband Keri Lewis formerly of R&B group "Mint Condition" on how they are coping with taking care of 3-year-old Deziel
I have the video and like I said above in the Janet thread, I need a new battery. Larry's invited autism celebs, including Holly Robinson Peete, Doug Flutie and Toni Braxton, Jason McElwain, the young man with an autism spectrum diagnosis who made a tricky basketball shot and won the heart of the world.
The heartbreak ...and hope of autism. Jason "J-Mac" McElwain inspired the world with his incredible shot-making at a high school basketball game. Larry talks to the teen and others about the disorder. Holly Robinson Peete, Doug Flutie and Toni Braxton join the discussion to bust myths and present breakthroughs. It's an uplifting hour with those who know! My son is going to be 21 this week and is autistic but very high functioning. He gets to move to his apartment this week. A beautiful one bedroom. He started a job too. I had a whole series on that last fall. Click "older posts" at the bottom and keep clicking it and you will read my story.
A shocking, taped admission from Joran van der Sloot may explain what happened to Natalee Holloway! Larry talks to the journalist who uncovered the story. Plus, Natalee's mother, Beth Holloway.
During an interview on CNN'sLarry King Live last Friday night (February 1), Snoop Dogg revealed that a British judge lifted the ban which prohibited the rapper from entering the country. The Los Angeles bred rapper was banned from the UK in 2006 because of his criminal record and a widely reported altercation between his entourage and British authorities at London's Heathrow Airport.We all saw the video on TMZ and saw something totally different. “I've been accepted, a judge overturned it,”Snoop told Larry King. “So everybody in the UK, Big Snoop Dogg will be back to give you what yall want.” I wonder.......Did David Beckam have anything to do with that?
Here's some of the tape where he talked about politics below saying he does not support the Republicans or Democrats but he's down with the "Gangsta Party." I will have the entire video later including when he took Larry to Roscoe's house of chicken and waffles. His views about gangs and that medical marijuana he's been prescribed. Snoop was professional, articulate and represented positively! I give it a perfect 10!
Now, here are the detailed segments of the entire show. Snoop got the whole hour.
Part One Larry asked Snoop how does one choose to become a rapper. He said he was fascinated by rappers in the early 80's and asked Snoop if it is teachable. They talked about the divorce between him and his wife and what made them make up. Snoop said it was basically for his kids and he hated to see someone else raising his children. We took a look at clips of his reality show "Fatherhood." He spoke about his football league and here he talks about the political races.
Part Two In this section Snoop Dogg talks about his former gang life and how he broke away from them. He talked about the strength you need to leave and how kids in gangs can help themselves lead a better life. However he also told us that he still relates to his former gang pals but most of them are locked away or already dead. This piece is a good segment to educate kids and I plan to show it at a high school.
Part Three In this segment, he talked about David Beckham and the rumors about Posh Spice not wanting her husband to be associated with Snoop till she found out he was a family man. Boy, that girl is so fake! She got 15 mins on the same show. Snoop took Larry King to Roscoe's chicken and waffle house. Larry hardly ate much. Must be watching that heart but Snoop put all that food in a "doggy bag." They talked about the dogs in the house. 5 inside, 5 outside and also the Michael Vick story which he definitely wanted to avoid. but he spoke about admiring Vick but also telling Larry that dogfighting was a common thing in the hip hop circuit. We then saw Coach Snoop at work training his football kids. They discussed the new album "Ego trippin."
Part Four Snoop talks about getting his visa back into getting to Britain, how he's going to write a rap song for the soap opera One life to live" and possibility of recording a rock album. He concluded by telling Larry, he wanted to open a "Snoopermarket" where you can buy anything. Something like a Walmart.
Last week, Nancy Grace came to Larry King Live to talk about her pregnancy, birth of her twins and more. I said she would probably not talk about her past but I was wrong. She did talk about her late fiance and what could have been. Now she has a husband, twins and a big fat CNN contract. Life couldn't be better! Doesn't she look happy? Meanwhile Nancy is doing "The View" this morning.
