->You know, I bitch all the time about [[Wrestling/TripleH Hunter]], but trust me, that guy has NOTHING on [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hoga]]n, who manipulated [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince]] to such a degree that he basically buried two top stars in [[Wrestling/BretHart Hart]] and {{Wrestling/Yokozuna}} just to appease his ego by putting the strap on him once again.\\\

->Batman...Batman...Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we live in, where a man dressed up as a BAT gets all of my press? [[PsychopathicManchild This town needs an enema!]]

->In a world where many celebrities have to hide from the paparazzi and fans, it's refreshing to see one that posts his whereabouts on the Internet and begs for company. When Herb Jefferson Jr., "Boomer" from the original ''[[Series/BattlestarGalacticaClassic Battlestar Galactica]]'', comes home from a long day at the autograph booth with 17 dollars, he reads Carlos Mencia's {{Twitter}} and says, 'Man, that's just sad.'

->Creator/BenAffleck and Creator/JenniferLopez were one of the most overexposed celebrity couples of all time. And despite what the two will tell you, it wasn't the media's fault. Because even as they were steadily griping about all the attention they received, there they were, getting an hour-long primetime interview from Pat O'Brien. And there was Ben, on ''Celebrity Poker Showdown''. And there was Jen, chatting for an hour with ''Oprah''. And they are, cavorting on a cigarette boat together in the video for "Jenny from the Block"! And there's Ben on ''Project Greenlight 2!'' '''''And look, Jen is with him on''''' '''Project Greenlight 2!'''

-> It is now, sadly, very clear that Dr. Oz now values his celebrity over science and science-based medicine to the point that he will do and say whatever it takes to remain the most famous doctor in the country, if not the world, and if it takes fusing [[ScienceIsBad bronze age concepts of disease]] with the latest science until no one can tell which is which anymore, he’s apparently fine with that.

->I just felt Hogan really going through the motions this PPV. I'm sure he'd be happier making movies and his $7 million for a month's work, y'know? -- But he can't put over anyone properly, ''[[TorchTheFranchiseAndRun just in case]]''.

->[[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hogan]] and [[Wrestlng/JesseVentura Ventura]] had been professional rivals for years, and now, Jesse had finally accomplished something that Hogan could only dream about. Hogan, however, was undeterred. He announced on ''[[Wrestling/WCWMondayNitro Nitro]]'' that he was running for President of the United States...Hogan's job was to go on ''Series/TheTonightShow'' and simultaneously announce that he was running for President and retiring from wrestling forever. It would only be [[TenMinuteRetirement the third time he had retired forever from wrestling]]. Hogan was asked a few hardball political questions, like whether he was a Democrat or a Republican, and all the time and research he'd devoted to his campaign came through in his answer: ''"Right now, I'm right in the middle."''\\\
''"What kind of a lame answer is that?"'' Leno asked.

->[[Music/KanyeWest Kanye]] goes to award shows and makes an ass of himself because that's his thing now. [[{{Music/Beyonce}} Beyoncé]] gets to [[BriarPatching sit there and look stunned]] and above all of it. [[Creator/KimKardashian Kim]] gets [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity another five seconds of camera time]]. And [[{{Music/JayZ}} Jay Z]] gets to sit there and look indifferent and somehow bring up his drug-dealing days yet again so that people don't focus on the fact that [[RatedGForGangsta he's just a rich old Samsung brand-manager now]]...Those four have so much fame and money that they are incapable of spontaneous emotion now.

->This was [[Creator/WilliamShatner Shatner's]] bizarre '[[RealityTV reality]]' show where he went to a small town in Iowa where Captain Kirk was supposedly born and then filmed a movie there. Except the movie was fake and it was just Shatner acting like an ass while naive Iowans thought that's what people in Hollywood did. Prima donna antics, disturbing requests (like demanding the stained glass of the church be shattered so he could film a crane shot)...Yes, this is the show where William Shatner was covered in afterbirth.

->Is there a division of Animal Control that is able to remove [[WhiteDwarfStarlet reality has-beens who won’t leave]]? I have a [[Series/JonAndKatePlusEight Kate Gosselin]] problem. No matter how often she’s kicked out, Kate keeps coming back with her pups and trying to nest, and it’s becoming a real pain in the ass. I tried searching the Animal Control website, but all I could find was a number for possum extermination (which might work)...it’s common fucking knowledge that Kate Gosselin is a Grade-A, 5-star bitch who’d throw ''herself'' under the bus if it meant a role on {{FOX}}’s ''Celebrity Bus Injury.''

In a match he wasn’t even in!\\\
So there were zero good matches, a bunch of stupid characters, and Hogan giving himself the proverbial BJ yet again...So while you may have cheer Hogan when he comes back for one of his oh-so-frequent nostalgia tours, don’t do so too loudly.\\\
You might give him ideas.

->...Wrestling/JesseVentura was elected Governor of Minnesota. [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hogan]] and Ventura had been professional rivals for years, and now, Jesse had finally accomplished something that Hogan could only dream about. Hogan, however, was undeterred.

->More frequently, in-character blurring of reality is used as a get-out; a conversation-changer when someone's caught doing something that will clearly require an eventual public penance, and they think by being weird they can genre-shift into performance art. Creator/CharlieSheen's drugged-out behaviour quickly mutated into sub-Charles Manson wackiness when he realised everybody was watching. He figured he'd turn Charlie Sheen into a character, and his bug-eyed soliloquys about winning and Tiger Blood were a clear waving of the arms and shouting “Hey! Look over here, I'm doing a happening!” to distract from the sobering truth of a shambolic mess with crack-rotted teeth in the midst of an all-consuming mid-life crisis. At time of writing, Creator/ShiaLaBeouf is pretending to be crazy, as opposed to just being a tedious bell-end, because he thinks rebranding himself as a pretentious performance artist will make people forget that he's an artless plagiarist with nothing to say, who got famous in those shitty giant robot movies where shapes hit other shapes. Not only is he wrong, but it was painfully apparent what he was doing from the second he sent the first carefully-worded tweet. It's not a hoax, or an art project; it's a temper tantrum; being caught in a lie and trying to make himself believe it as much as everyone else. Fantastically, nobody's fooled, and [=LaBeouf=] continues to walk around with a paper bag on his head as the world rolls its eyes, waiting for the inevitable moment he books into rehab for 'exhaustion' and is forced to break character.

->Not only does [[Creator/DonaldTrump Trump]] have an evil streak in real life, when it comes time to appear on {{Wrestling/WWE}} TV as a character, he always comes off as bossy and obnoxious. Wrestling/VinceMcMahon has been willing to bleed, pee his pants, and have his head shoved up the anuses of various super-heavyweight wrestlers to put over story lines, but Donald Trump can’t even swallow his pride and let someone talk for five seconds without interrupting them with [[LameComeback lame, condescending comebacks]] like, ''“You know what, Vince? I doubt that!”''

He announced on ''[[Wrestling/WCWMondayNitro Nitro]]'' that he was running for President of the United States...Hogan's job was to go on ''Series/TheTonightShow'' and simultaneously announce that he was running for President and retiring from wrestling forever. It would only be [[TenMinuteRetirement the third time he had retired forever from wrestling]] (which isn't too bad when you consider guys like the legendary Wrestling/TerryFunk, who retired and unretired so many times that they eventually lost count). Hogan was asked a few hardball political questions, like whether he was a Democrat or a Republican, and all the time and research he'd devoted to his campaign came through in his answer: ''"Right now, I'm right in the middle."''\\\

->By the middle of 1996, [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hogan]] had few options. His WCW contract would be due after two more [=PPVs=], and he had no leverage left. He had tried one of his usual tricks months earlier, and it had backfired. The NBA playoffs were coming up, so he left to film a movie. Of course, the playoffs wreaked havoc on ''[[Wrestling/WCWMondayNitro Nitro's]]'' ratings, and his plan was to come back and say [[BastardlySpeech the reason they were down was because he was gone]]. There was a flaw in his plan, however. He was gone too long, and when the playoffs ended, ''Nitro'' returned [[DidntThinkThisThrough and started doing better numbers]] than when he'd been main-eventing every week.
