Jenn Sterger has her breast implants removed

Gaither High grad and college football poster girl Jenn Sterger reveals in the new issues of Cosmopolitan that had her nationally famous breast implants removed and discusses why she did it. Was it possibly to ruin every male FSU applicant's fantasies?

"It wasn't a health decision; it was more of a personal one," Sterger told ESPN (hey, we don't read no Cosmo, aight?). "For years, a lot of my critics have attributed any success that I've had to a great plastic surgeon, and I never once really argued with them. ... My implants got my foot in the door, but I truly don't believe that they are the reason I am still around."

No, of course not. Everyone knows it was actually her sparkling personality that got her photo shoots in Maxim and Playboy. Well, her personality did get her on Sports Illustrated's Scorecard Daily for awhile. But why did the friend of tbt* make the change? 

"To be honest, in the months prior to my surgery I couldn't help but start to feel like the elephant in the room," she said. "I knew what everyone was thinking, and I simply got tired of being typecast in life and my work. They started costing me more work than they were actually getting me, so I knew that they had kind of run their course."

We'll have to see if her new movie, The Tenant, is any good before we can rule on that last part.

Ice-T and Coco will be at Encore in Tampa on Friday

Gangsta rap legend Ice-T and his wife, the (how shall we say it?) voluptuous Playboy Playmate CoCo, will host a Friday night soiree at Encore, 1920 E Seventh Ave. That's right, Halloween is starting a day early!

If you feel like blowing $25 ($35 for the VIP treatment), the doors open at 10 p.m. The Iceman and his lady are scheduled in the building from midnight until the bash ends at 3 a.m. If you're one of the first 100 advance ticket holders, you'll get a photo op with the couple, which will make for a nice yarn to spin to the grandkids.

The duo will also judge a costume contest; first place wins $500. We hear Ice-T will be dressed as a pimp, and CoCo will have something sexy — so basically, they’re coming as themselves. Around 1:30 a.m., Ice will perform a 10- to 20-minute set of old and new tunes. DJ Prostyle of 106 & Park fame will spin all night, and for good measure, the Guavettes will be in attendance, in case the ooze factor just isn't high enough for you.

Laila Ali saved Hulk Hogan from suicide

Hulk Hogan says he came within an eyelash of killing himself after chugging Xanax and rum, but a phone call from Laila Ali kept him from following through, the New York Daily News says. Finally, some uplifting news from this family.

The wrestler-turned-sideshow says in his new book, My Life Outside the Ring, he reached for a gun and put his finger on the trigger after swallowing the pills and booze, despondent over his divorce from Linda. But Ali called him at just the right moment after noticing he looked distracted while they were shooting American Gladiators.

There's the usual details in the book, including him blaming Linda for his depression and saying she was an abusive alcoholic who once threatened to beat Nick with a wine bottle. But since the divorce came right after the crash, he asked her to wait: "I practically begged her, 'Please, don't file. Our son's just had this accident - if we do this now, it'll make us look like the Britney Spears family. Please, don't file for divorce.'"

He also complains about the civil suit brought by John Graziano's family, saying the case is "for more money than I've made in my whole career." Good thing Nick has been able to do what he can to delay it.

Jon Gosselin wanted $12,000 to be on the MJ Morning Show

We know, we keep saying no more Jon Gosselin, but this one has a Tampa angle: Apparently 93.3 WFLZ's MJ Morning Show tried to get the Gozz on the air, but the deadbeat dad balked unless he got $12,000 for an hour of their time. Hey buddy, you need to pay us to listen to that crap.

MJ host Todd Schnitt and TMZ said Wednesday morning that Gosselin was offered two first-class round-trip plane tickets, limo service and decent hotel room, but Jon asked for an "appearance fee ... in the 10-12k range." Gosselin's talent rep, Matt Kirschner, defended the request by saying his "name and appearance on your show will instantly draw press ... and will be a high point for the show." Well, his not appearing has drawn the press, if only to ridicule the reality show staple.

On his show, Schnitt proffered that perhaps Gosselin needed the fee to help pay back the $180,000 he owes Kate. We say it's so he can buy more Ed Hardy t-shirts. Either way, it's certainly not to buy his kids ice cream. Can he even name all of them?

Linda is suing Hulk Hogan for her Harley, wants him in jail

Good lord, we thought this whole divorce mess between Linda and Hulk Hogan was over, but noooo; Fox News says she filed a motion in Pinellas County Superior Court alleging the Hulkster isn't living up to terms of their confidential settlement. By that she means he still has her Harley-Davidson motorcycle, and still owes her $225,000 that he agreed to pay by Aug. 7.

Now Linda wants him to pay all her incurred travel expenses and attorney fees, lest she have him "incarcerated." And in case you think this is all just about the Harley, the settlement apparently entitled her to  "exclusive possession and ownership of her Mercedes Benz, Cadillac Escalade, Corvette and Rolls Royce." Would she also like a pony for that stable?

"We are proceeding against the Hulk with enforcement and contempt proceedings to make him comply with the marital settlement, whether he likes the agreement or not, and regardless of his stalls, emotional issues and games," Linda’s attorney Ray Rafool told Fox.

Hulk's rep, meanwhile, says he is "absolutely complying with the terms of the marital settlement agreement. Linda will receive everything she is entitled to under the agreement as soon as it is available to give to her."

Is one of those things an atomic elbow? Because we bet the Hulk has one ready.

Hulk Hogan offering free tax advice, apparently

Are you a Floridian dreading your upcoming property tax bill? Want a little help from someone who obviously understands finances and tax laws? Well guess what? Hulk Hogan is here for you. Well, that's who we'd call. Why not?

The Hulkster will be at the Crown Plaza Tampa on Friday for GuaranteedLowerPropertyTax.com, an organization that describes itself as "dedicated to helping Floridians lower their property taxes by helping taxpayers dispute and appeal their property tax assessment, which are released on August 15th." When did Hulk become a CPA?

Seminars begin at 11 a.m., although an e-mail that came into The Juice* offices don't say when or how long Hogan will be in the building. We're betting for some of you, it's just long enough to show up and fall for whatever service these folks are selling. And don't think we're endorsing this, because everyone knows we make below federal standards for taxable income.

Brooke Hogan left concert after anxiety attack

Being Brooke Hogan has to be so difficult: You build a career off mediocre singing talent and a famous ex-wrestler father, you get a reality show in Miami and you perform in concerts with Sean Kingston, LMFAO and Kristine Elezaj. No, wait, scratch that last part; Fox News says the 21-year-old dropped out because she's suffering anxiety attacks, among other ailments. Life is hard sometimes!

Despite daddy Hulk's plan to act as host during Brooke's appearance at PARTY 105's MEGA JAM in New York last Saturday, he also left to attend to his daughter after she canceled, which we really can't fault. There was no replacement, though, so the concert had to go on without one. But what brought on Brooke's stress?

"Brooke is incredibly sensitive," a source said. "She really cares about everyone around her and takes on a lot."

Yes, we know; we've watched it all unfold on reality TV. Maybe if she didn't make fame her overarching goal in life, she could deal with her ridiculous parents.

Jennifer Hudson gives birth to a baby boy

If you've been lucky enough to spy Jennifer Hudson out and about in Tampa Bay over the past few months and noticed she was a little big in the front and wondered if she was pregnant, why yes, she was. We stress was.

The 27-year-old actress and singer had a baby boy, David Daniel Otunga Jr., on Monday, Showbiz411.com reports. In case you hadn't connected the dots, wrestler fiance David Otunga is the daddy.

"The baby is beautiful and perfect," Hudson's rep Lisa Kasteler told People. "His parents are ecstatic." 

The baby weighed in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces, and is the first child for the couple. They had kept the sex a secret even from themselves during the officially unannounced pregnancy (although we all knew), going so far as to buy both pink and blue sets of clothes. Now David Jr. can match anything!

Brooke Hogan reveals artwork for The Redemption

When Brooke Hogan isn't accusing her mom of being on drugs, she's revealing her new album cover for The Redemption, which would be revealing, if it weren't just a cheesy drawing.

In a post on BrookesWorld.com, Hogan shows off the would-be-angelic artwork for the album, which is due out in July. The first single, Falling, features her boyfriend, Stack$ (watch the video below. There's another one coming up that has Colby O'Donis in it, although they misspell his name on the site.

But what is it with this drawing? Was there some kind of photographers strike in the area we didn't hear about? She shows up in paparazzi pics enough, you'd think this oufit was just for a normal Saturday afternoon for her.
