Not that alot of you may care or even know the story but:
Nick Hogan was in court today to and pled no contest to felony reckless driving involving serious bodily injury.
TMZ.com was streaming live footage from the courtroom all afternoon. Several national television stations were also showing live courtroom footage, including MSNBC and CNN.
Many people took the stand to speak to the court, including the family of victim John Graziano, Hulk, Linda, Brooke, Nick and the laywers from both sides. The Grazianos absolutely buried Nick while Nick's family and lawyers went on and on about how close John was to their family and what a great guy he is.
In the end, Judge Philip Federico ruled that Nick will serve 8 months in Pinellas County Jail. He'll also have 5 years of probation, 500 hours of community service and his license is suspended for 3 years.
Nick's jail sentence begins today - he'll be sleeping in a jail cell tonight.

Hayslett also the media that Nick was not a convicted felon and would go on "to do good things with his life."

WWE superstar Santino Marella (real name real name Anthony Carelli) was arrested this morning and charged with Driving Under the Influence in Tampa, Florida.
TMZ.com reports that he pulled over after cops witnessed his car drifting back and forth -- he had "bloodshot, watery and glassy eyes." He failed two field sobriety tests -- including one in which he couldn't hold his balance. He told officers he started drinking at midnight, and had three Miller Lights and one Kamikaze.
According to the police report, he was arrested at 6301 West Shore Boulevard with a blood alcohol level of 0.061, below Florida's legal limit in 0.08. Santino was then booked in Hillsborough County jail at 4:36 a.m. on $500 bail.
The arrest record indicates WWE as the name of his employer, which is technically inaccurate, since Santino is an independent contractor and not an actual employee of the company.
WWE's Santino Marella was released from custody at 11:35 am today after posting $500 bond. According to several sources, Marella was pulled over early this morning after an evening out drinking with ECW star Kevin Thorn and several WWE developmental talents.
Marella failed several roadside tests given to him by authorities and was booked for driving under the influence. He was later tested for blood alcohol levels, which results returned at a level of 0.061. That number is below the legal limit in Florida of 0.08, but since he was tested several hours after being taken into custody, he is still subject to prosecution on the DUI charges.
In accordance with its Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy, WWE has suspended Jeff Hardy for 60 days, for his second violation of the company's policy.
As we've been reporting this morning, WWE superstar Jeff Hardy has been suspended from World Wrestling Entertainment for his second violation of the company's Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy.
Here is some further information on the situation:
-- One more violation of WWE's Wellness policy will result in Jeff Hardy's manditory release from the company.
-- Hardy has been removed from the Wrestlemania preview and will not be participating in the Money In The Bank match at the event.
-- Jeff Hardy met with Vince McMahon at RAW last night. Several WWE stars were informed of the suspension backstage. Hardy dropped the Intercontinental title to Chris Jericho on the show.
This is certainly a tough break for the rainbow-haired warrior, who was in the midst of the biggest singles push of his career. Hardy's previous issues with substance abuse and fears that he could relapse were factors in the company not going "all the way" with his push and awarding him with a WWE title win.
