Hulk Hogan -- King of the Ring

Hulk Hogan may have taken one too many fake punches to the head. Just four months after his nasty divorce with Linda was finalized, he's preparing to crown the next Mrs. Hogan.



We talked to Hulk and his girlfriend Jennifer McDaniel at LAX yesterday, where the Hulkster pointed out the massive ring finger bling he just bought Jennifer ... and told us she "could be the new Mrs. Hogan."

Hulk really moves fast ... only a week ago he was getting some unfortunate ass from Ric Flair.

Dwight Howard Blocks Out His Baby Mama

You'll never hear a negative word said about Dwight Howard by his baby mama ... because according to a judge, she's not even allowed to speak his name.

According to documents filed in Florida, the Orlando Magic superstar went to war in October with Royce Lyndsay Reed -- the mother of his 2-year-old son -- after she allegedly called him a deadbeat dad on her blog, Twitter and even during an ESPN interview.

Dwight also alleges Royce "is attempting to become a celebrity" from being his baby mama ... even agreeing to "participate in a VH1 television show called 'NBA Wives.'"

Dwight ended up winning a permanent injunction against Royce -- and according to the documents, she's banned from "using or publishing (orally, in writing, or otherwise), directly, indirectly or by innuendo, [Dwight's] name, nicknames, image, brand photographs, and/or likeness."

That finely manicured line of lawyerspeak makes it damn near impossible for Royce to appear on "Wives" ... unless she calls herself the baby mama of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

Yeah, that was a Harry Potter reference. What?

Shaq Wants Wife Thrown Out of Cali Court

Shaquille O'Neal wants to teach his estranged wife Shaunie Nelson a thing or two about getting thrown out. We've learned Shaq is trying to boot Shaunie from the entire court system in California.

Shaunie filed legal papers in California earlier this month for legal separation, having moved to L.A. just days earlier.

We've learned Shaq's lawyers filed legal docs, alleging Shaunie has no right to use the California divorce courts because they are residents of Florida.

As we first reported, Shaunie stands to get more spousal support in California.

Not So Fast, Hasselbeck -- Author Sues Again

The woman who sued Elisabeth Hasselbeck for copyright infringement just won't take no for an answer.

TMZ has learned Susan Hassett just filed her second lawsuit over Hasselbeck's book -- "The G Free Diet" -- even though a judge tossed out Hassett's first suit earlier this month after her lawyer decided not to pursue the case.

Hassett -- who claims Beck's book is a rip-off of her own publication, "Living with Celiac Disease" -- tells TMZ her original lawsuit was shot down because of a technicality ... she failed to provide the necessary copyright information for "Living."

Hassett's new suit, which was filed today in federal court in Massachusetts, includes plenty of copyright info for "Living" ... plus claims that Hasselbeck's book is "misleading and dangerous" to those who suffer from Celiac disease.

Hassett once again wants the court to stop the presses on "G Free" and yank it from bookstores everywhere.

Calls to Hasselbeck's people have not been returned.

Investigation Over Brutal Attack at Jay-Z's Club

Warning: This video contains graphic and violent images. Viewer discretion is advised.

Jay-Z's The 40/40 Club in Atlantic City is under investigation after a video surfaced showing several hulking bouncers brutally attacking two male patrons in the club parking lot over the weekend.



In the footage, captured by DJ Zeke, roughly ten men wearing "security" and "event staff" shirts gang up and repeatedly beat the two men -- who can barely defend themselves against the ruthless mob.

Cops say charges will be filed against several bouncers -- and they are currently reviewing the tape to identify the men involved in the attack.

But get this -- the two victims were arrested after the beatdown and charged with disorderly conduct because security told cops they had acted inappropriately inside the club.

The two men claimed they did nothing wrong inside or outside of the club. The tape seems to back their story.

A rep for the club tells TMZ: "We can't comment on the fight. We are doing our own investigation in addition to the police investigation. It's really in the hands of the police at this point. The 40/40 club has never had anything like this happen before and we take the safety of our patrons seriously."
